C168 Cold war escalation

Returning to his home that he had not seen for a long time, Mu Ziyao felt like it was a different world.

As An Shen cleaned the house occasionally, the house remained clean and tidy.

As he sat on the sofa with empty eyes, Mu Ziyao's mind was in a mess.

Right now, she only wanted to escape from everything that belonged to Lin Shumo. It was as if her feelings for him contained only an exhausted good impression and endless disappointment.

Mu Xiaoxi looked at Mu Ziyao, who had been silent since they returned home, with a pained expression. He merely sat by her side, silently caressing her back, hoping that he could comfort her.

"Mommy, don't be too sad. Daddy only did such an impulsive thing because he was in a hurry. Don't be like this."

Mu Xiaoxi could not bear to see his mother sitting there in such a daze, looking unmoved.

She only thought that her son Xiaoxi was excusing himself for Lin Shumo, and her emotions were complicated. She asked Xiaoxi with a tone that no one could decipher.

"Baby, have you already fallen for Lin Shumo? Do you no longer need Mommy in the future?"

Hearing his mother say that, Mu Xiaoxi immediately shook his head, holding onto the left side of Mu Ziyao's body, he said with his young and tender voice: "No, I only like Mommy. I just don't want Mommy to continue and never recover from it.

As he spoke, he tightened his grip on his arm, as if he wanted his mother to know what he was thinking.

Mu Ziyao's originally expressionless face finally revealed a relieved expression as his right hand hugged his precious son.

Although Mu Ziyao did not explain the reason, Mu Xiaoxi could tell that Mu Ziyao was truly angry. Lin Shumo should have done something unforgivable to make Mu Ziyao feel like his heart was dying.

Although Mu Xiaoxi was also disappointed with his cheap father, he still hoped that his parents could get back together. However, since Mu Ziyao's attitude was already right in front of him, he didn't think it was appropriate to comfort him and stand on the same front as his mother.

On the other side, Lin Shumo who had returned to the villa, did not look at the big and small figures that he had seen previously.

"Young master …"

The butler looked at Lin Shumo who returned home alone and felt a peculiar emotion surge into his heart.

As for the person with his back to him, he suddenly raised his hand. The butler naturally understood what Lin Shumo meant and immediately swallowed down the words that were about to leave his mouth, and silently retreated to the back.

Lin Shumo stood there for a long time before he slowly moved his feet.

Looking at the empty room and the traces of mother and son's life, Lin Shumo regretfully held his forehead and walked back to his own room. He didn't go downstairs until the morning of the next day.

After an entire night of tossing and turning, Lin Shumo's anger and guilt didn't disappear with the passage of time. Instead, they grew more and more intense, making it hard for him to calm down.

It wasn't until the sky turned white that he decided to come to the company and apologize to the woman he wanted.

But Lin Shumo did not wait for the victim of his anger yesterday. Because of his unwell body, Mu Ziyao requested for a leave of absence today.

However, the word "body discomfort" was ear-piercing to Lin Shumo.

Struggling between the three, he called Mu Ziyao.

When Mu Ziyao saw that the caller ID indicated that it was Lin Shumo, without even thinking, he immediately dialed the number and placed it on the blacklist.

Hearing the robotic female voice on the other end of the phone, Lin Shumo's mood dropped to the extreme.

At this time, Mu Ziyao, who had similarly lost sleep, was lying on the bed. Because he had not closed his eyes for a long time, his eyes were dry and he felt both physically and mentally exhausted.

Although he knew that Mu Ziyao would definitely not respond to his call at this time, he still continued to make calls. Even after making a few calls without any contact, he was prepared to come over to take a look personally, but his actions were interrupted by the assistant.

"Director Lin."

Lin Shumo didn't have the low pressure from yesterday, but he was a bit flustered.

"If you have anything to say, just wait until I'm back." Lin Shumo's back was currently facing the person who entered the office, and he took off his jacket from the clothes rack.

"Director Lin, it's about Miss Su Yuyan."

Hearing that, Lin Shumo stopped trying to take off his jacket, and slowly turned around.

To solve all of these problems, the most important thing would still be to solve the problems of Su Yuyan and Lin Yuqian. Because after Mu Ziyao had rejected him, his burning anxiety slowly calmed down and he sat in front of the desk.

"Go on."

Assistant Li locked the door of his office, and then put down the 100 fold curtains as he spoke to Lin Shumo who was sitting and waiting for the report:

"Director Lin, I found out that there is someone behind Miss Su Yuyan. Not only is it her child's matter, even the matter regarding the stocks in the Mu's was something that he planned himself."

Lin Shumo fell into deep thought.

Originally, he thought that Su Yuyan only knew his mother from a simple point of view, but from the looks of it, this was clearly a conspiracy against the Lin Family.

When he thought about how Mu Xiaoxi had almost paid the price of his life for this scheme, a strange light flashed across Lin Shumo's eyes.

He did not wish to implicate his son, the person he loved, because of the grudges and grievances of the previous generation.

"You go out first."

Lin Shumo felt that there was a need to do something for Mu Ziyao and Mu Xiaoxi.

Lin Shumo thought for a moment, then decisively went to look for Mu Ziyao, since what had happened already, he could not just sit there and wait for death.

The one who guarded the door for Lin Shumo was also a little baby Mu Xiaoxi, who also didn't sleep well. Her little figure was a little impatient, she tried to keep her voice low, and angrily and repressed: "What are you doing here? Mummy has just fallen asleep. "

Lin Shumo knew that Mu Xiaoxi definitely had opinions on him, but he desperately needed to see Mu Ziyao right now.

"I want to see Yaoyao, I'll wait for her here." After which, he prepared to enter.

Unexpectedly, before she could open the door, it was blocked by Mu Xiaoxi's baby.

Look at Mu Xiaoxi's disappointed expression.

"Uncle Lin, you have to be kind, it's not like you didn't see Yao Yao's sad look yesterday, although I do not hate you, but that does not mean that you can bully my Yao Yao as you please. If Uncle Lin is not able to tolerate me and Yao Yao here, we will naturally leave."

Mu Xiaoxi felt that his temper had improved a lot. If it was before, not to mention bullying Yao Yao, he would even want to eat her meat if he were to speak loudly to her.

To put it bluntly, it was because this guy was her father that she was unlucky. However, this didn't mean that he could bully Yao Yao as he liked.
