CHAPTER 672: CHAPTER 158: DOES XI MOHAN LIKE NING WAN?

Mu Shinian looked around the hospital room, and not seeing Lu Jingchen, she asked, "Sister, where’s brother-in-law?"

Song Qiao paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and placed the thermal lunchbox on the table in the room, her expression somewhat awkward as she spoke, "Your brother-in-law has gone out. Are you looking for him for something?"

The fact that Mu Shinian got along with Lu Jingchen was unexpected to her. She didn’t even know when it started, but whenever Mu Shinian saw Lu Jingchen, she would directly call him brother-in-law, and sometimes even if she came to the hospital and didn’t see Lu Jingchen with her, she would ask ’Why didn’t brother-in-law come?’ ’Where did brother-in-law go?’

This made Song Qiao feel like her child, whom she had raised for many years, had been stolen away by Lu Jingchen.

This feeling really was, directly a big uppercase DISPLEASED.

"No worries, just that brother-in-law called me a while ago, told me you were at the hospital, and asked me to prepare lunch for you." Mu Shinian smiled and pointed to the lunchbox Song Qiao just put down on the table, clearly meaning that it was for her to eat.

Song Qiao hummed a response, didn’t say much, and directly opened the lunchbox, immediately filling the room with the aroma of food.

Mu Shinian wasn’t idle either; she went straight into the bathroom, fetched a basin of water, and prepared to help Elder Mu with a body wash.

Seeing Mu Shinian’s somewhat clumsy movements, Song Qiao felt a pang in her heart. Normally, it wasn’t him doing these tasks but the nurse helping out, she couldn’t help but speak, "Shinian, you can leave it, I’ll do it later."

Mu Shinian at his age should be studying well, without having to worry about anything. But since the Mu Family ran into issues and Elder Mu was hospitalized, this child has taken on burdens unimaginable for most people.

"Sister, it’s fine, you eat, I can manage it." His movements didn’t stop; despite being somewhat clumsy, it didn’t seem like it was his first time doing this.

Song Qiao, who initially intended to put down what she was holding, paused, but still didn’t step forward. The firm look in Mu Shinian’s eyes slowly conjured a thought in her mind.

The Mu family is now bankrupt and fallen, but that doesn’t mean it will be forever, does it?

Shinian... he is the child of the Mu Family, as well as its future.

...

At CK Group, just as Lu Jingchen stepped out of the elevator, his assistant immediately greeted him.

The man’s face was somewhat grim, and without even glancing at his assistant, he sternly asked, "What’s the matter?"

The assistant’s face wasn’t looking great either, but he still calmly explained, "President, the batch of goods detained by the Customs Bureau is needed by Jason the day after tomorrow. They haven’t detailed why our goods were detained; they just said it needs investigation."

Hearing this, the man paused in his steps and looked directly at the assistant, his expression very cold, clearly showing his displeasure as he clenched his teeth and said, "I wasn’t aware that the Customs Bureau can detain goods without giving a reason. Call the Customs Bureau now, immediately, right now!"

"President, we have already called." The assistant’s face was also not looking good, but he still explained, "The Customs Bureau said our batch of goods is quite special and is temporarily kept confidential."

As his words fell, the atmosphere suddenly dropped a notch, and the assistant’s heart skipped a beat, cautiously looking up at Lu Jingchen’s face, but almost took a step back in fright the next second.

The man’s face was extremely ugly, dark to the point of almost dripping water; despite the long time he had spent by Lu Jingchen’s side, every time his boss showed this look, he felt as if he was ’pulling the hair on a tiger’s head’, directly angering this man.

The assistant was unclear about what exactly was going on with the Customs Bureau. It was already clear before that their goods absolutely couldn’t be touched. For many years, both parties had coexisted peacefully and consistently cooperated, with the senior officials of the Customs Bureau also somewhat aware of Lu Jingchen’s background. No one would look for trouble for no reason, provoking Lu Jingchen brought them no benefits.

The secretary was really unable to understand what was happening this time. This batch of goods was key for Lu Jingchen to completely take over and defeat that group of old men. If there were issues, the consequences were beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
