Qi Lan frowned as he thought about it before replying—

“Alright then, let’s go look for my brother and the others first.”

Dongfang Ye and the others were engrossed in playing games.

The children were playing at night while Xi Xiaye helped wash the vegetables in the backyard. Mu Yuchen and the others were putting on airs as they chatted.

“Xiao Cheng and the others aren’t on vacation yet? Why don’t they come over together?”

Qi Lei did not see Mu Zicheng and the rest earlier, so he asked while he handed the tea he had brewed over to Mu Yuchen.

“The school is in a hurry to catch up on lessons, so he naturally can’t be idle. I plan to send him overseas after the semester ends so that he can receive an education abroad. At his age, it’s good to learn more.”

.

Mu Yuchen took it and lowered his head to take a sip of tea as he replied.

“Send him abroad? You’re really generous. The child is still so young. Aren’t you worried that Xiaye will fight you to the death?”

The one who spoke was Zhou Zimo. In any case, he, Zhou Zimo, could not bear to part with his children.

“Even if you can’t bear to, you have to carry it out. Back then, it wasn’t easy for us either. It’s not bad to let him have this realization earlier. I’ve already told him before that if it wasn’t for Xiao Rui’s insistence back then, he would probably be facing the same choice as Xiao Cheng now.”

Mu Yuchen’s tone was calm. He wanted to keep him by his side, but Mu Zicheng was the same as him back then. He was shouldering too many responsibilities. This responsibility was not something he could think too much about.

Fortunately, the child could understand him. Otherwise../

“I agree with Ah Chen’s point of view.”

Everyone fell silent when Qi Lei’s voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked up at him and realized that he was leisurely taking a sip of tea.

“A few days ago, my uncle called and asked me to send Ah Lan over. He wanted me to accompany him there so that he could have some company. I agreed. Last night, I told Liuyun about the matter and Liuyun agreed with my decision.”

“Your uncle, Wang Xun?”

Su Chen had always known that Qi Lei had an uncle in Singapore. When Qi Lei had that accident, it was thanks to his uncle’s help. Although Wang Xun and Qi Qiming still had a bad relationship, as the children grew up, this kind of grudge could be considered to be on hold. At the very least, the conflict was no longer as sharp.

“Yes, Uncle’s health hasn’t been good this year. I just went to see him some time ago.”

Qi Lei had gone to Singapore to see Wang Xun some time ago. Wang Xun’s health had not been too good in the past year or two. In fact, Qi Lei understood that the knot in Wang Xun’s heart had not been opened, especially after his old age. It was…

“Your uncle really has deep feelings for your mother.”

Zhou Zimo could not help but say this.

“Even so, it doesn’t change anything. I hope that he can look past it as soon as possible. My mother has been gone for so many years.”

Qi Lei took a deep breath, but there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

“I often envy you guys. You all have a complete childhood. Until now, your families are happy and happy. Those who want to be filial are still there. Unlike me, by the time I realize it, it’s already too late. There are many things in life that you can not turn back.”

When Qi Lei said this, he was deeply moved.

Now, he was already 40 years old, and half of his life had passed. At this time, his state of mind had actually changed greatly.

The one who had changed the most and endured the most among his brothers was Qi Lei.

From a cynical playboy to a mature and stable powerhouse who could take care of himself, he had experienced joys and sorrows, no one would understand a life-and-death parting.

Wang Qin had passed away in front of him, and Qi Feng had died in his arms…

“Alright, don’t think about that anymore. It’s good that you’re doing well now.”

Mu Yuchen patted Qi Lei’s shoulder. His gaze was deep and filled with encouragement, “A true brave person dares to face a bleak life. How to find the light of life is what we should be doing. How can we have the heart to think about these useless things?”

“I agree with Ah Chen. If it’s useful to grieve over the passing of spring and autumn, then this world wouldn’t have so much pain. Come, have some tea!”

Su Chen smiled and picked up his tea.

The buddies smiled at each other and picked up their tea as well.

“There seems to be an early autumn fashion show next week at Su Nan’s. The invitation was sent to my table. You should go over, right, Xiaye?”

Just as Xi Xiaye was focused on her work, she suddenly heard Dongfang Liuyun’s voice.

“Su Nan’s fashion show?”

Xi Xiaye then remembered that she still had the invitation from Su Nan in her office.

“Mmm, she’s already a top-notch master now. She has her own unique views on the fashion industry. A few days ago, Qi Lei told me that the company is going to design and shoot a blockbuster soon. He wants Su Nan to be his guide on the fashion industry. I plan to have a good talk with her in the next two days.”

Su Nan and Ruan Heng had a good time over the years. Su Nan opened her own studio, and every year, she would publish top-notch works in magazines. Her name was very well known in the fashion industry.

As for Ruan Heng, he was now a Vice President in Zhou Zimo’s company. Zhou Zimo appreciated him very much, and the couple lived a very happy life.

“It’s definitely not wrong to look for her for this matter. I’ll be going to the fashion show too.”

Xi Xiaye smiled.

“Alright, let’s go together that day. Qi Lei has a business trip tomorrow, so I’m afraid he won’t have time to accompany me over the next few days.”

Dongfang Liuyun looked at Xi Xiaye helplessly.

“Mu Yuchen has been busy with the new project recently, so we won’t look for them anymore. The press conference that day should be in the afternoon. Let’s go do a full-body relaxation first in the morning. I’ve been working too hard recently, so I feel exhausted all over.”

Xi Xiaye and Dongfang Liuyun were very close. The two of them would often go out together to do some maintenance and relaxation.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Dongfang Liuyun smiled.

“I feel that you’re getting closer and closer with Qi Lei and his wife. Some time ago, when you went back to Maple Residence with Mu Yuchen to get information, you told him not to stay any longer and said that you’d wait at home. Liuyun, I think that in this world, only you can subdue him.”

Xi Xiaye recalled the scene when Qi Lei came to visit not long ago.

“Doesn’t Mu Yuchen treat you the same?”

Dongfang Liuyun glanced at XI Xiaye, then the two women looked at each other and smiled. Their laughter was filled with joy.

Qin Su and Ji Zitong, who had been listening quietly, exchanged glances and pursed their lips as they smiled.

The few men who were chatting up ahead heard their voices and looked over as well. Only then did they realize that the few women were chatting happily as well…
