"What are you thinking? "So engrossed." Gu Tingchen called out to Mu Lee a few times, but Mu Lee did not reply. It was unknown what she was thinking about.
When Mu Lee heard Gu Tingchen's voice, she finally realized what had happened and laughed awkwardly: "Nothing."
"I'll go to the company first. I'll be back early." Looking at the back of Gu Tingchen, who was walking away, Mu Lee couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.
She did not have a stable job. Whenever she went to an interview before, she would be rejected by the company every time. Although Mu Lee knew who was interfering with her, she had no choice but to be slaughtered like a little lamb.
On the other hand, Gu Tingchen was different. Gu Tingchen was the leader of the Gu family.
She and Gu Tingchen were like clouds and mud.
It was almost noon and Gu Tingchen had finished all the work. He changed into a set of formal attire at the company and directly returned to the villa to pick Mu Lee up.
Yan Shu drove them to Mu Family.
"The door to their house has already been repaired." After getting off the car, Gu Tingchen looked at the brand-new door.
"With regards to the face of the Mu Family, the Mu Family will definitely not delay us for long." On this point, Mu Shaohua did very well.
The butler also heard the conversation outside and instantly became vigilant. He already had a shadow over this man and was really afraid that he would throw another bomb.
The butler did not think too much and immediately ran out, "Second Miss, Young Master, you've all returned. The old man is waiting for you inside. Hurry and enter."
This time, the butler's attitude was very gentle. Compared to last time, it was as if they were two different people.
The two of them ignored him as Mu Lee pushed Gu Tingchen into the villa under the gaze of the butler, step by step.
"To think that the Gu family's Second Young Master would have such a grand attitude. Our family has been waiting here for you for such a long time, and the old gramps has already called you in advance. Why did you drag it out until now to come back?"
Seeing Gu Tingchen and Mu Lee return so late, Su Yanli was unhappy in her heart. They had so many seniors waiting for them here, the two of them were too embarrassed to do anything.
"Xiao Li and I were only worried that we would be rejected at the door when we come again. After all, the two of us are people who want face as well." Gu Tingchen's tone was neither cold nor hot; once again mentioning the last time he was rejected outside the door could once again arouse Mu Yu's displeasure.
"I was the one who told the two of them to come back later. Don't be in such a hurry, don't argue. The family has become like a battlefield." Mu Yu did not want to bring up the past again. That matter was a humiliation to their Mu Family, so it had passed by, and if possible, he would not mention it again.
Gu Tingchen pulled Mu Lee's hand, and Mu Lee placed all the things in her hand onto the tea table."Grandfather, after you came back, I still have not come to take a good look at you. This time, I brought some supplements for you."
The gift was no longer valuable, but more importantly, her heart. Mu Lee had been chased out for so many years, yet she was still able to greet her with a smile regardless of what grudges they had previously had. This was why it proved that Mu Lee was such a magnanimous and magnanimous girl.
"You're quite thoughtful. Come, sit down." However, these few words were enough to prove his tacit approval of Mu Lee.
However, Mu Yan's face was filled with disdain. Looking at the cheap food, he taunted: "Such a cheap thing like this for Grandfather to eat, aren't you afraid it'll break? Only someone with your identity would be interested in these things."
Instead of getting angry, Mu Lee laughed and sat by Mu Yan's side: "Elder sister is right, but all these years I haven't been able to find a proper job, so being able to save up some money to buy so many things for grandfather is already quite good, I hope grandfather doesn't blame me for it. Although it is a bit cheap, it is also the heart of Li'er."
Hearing this, Mu Yu could not help but be slightly startled: "How can there be no work? I remember that you graduated from a prestigious university and have not had a proper job until now? "
Mu Yu's doubts caused a sliver of panic to rise in Mu Yan's heart. The reason why Mu Lee was unable to find a job was entirely because of her, so if Grandfather continued to investigate, he would probably drag himself into this as well.
Mu Yan forcefully held back the smile on her face, and interrupted once more: "Grandfather, it's not like you don't know Mu Lee, she has always been taking care of her mother, how do you have the time to go to work, to be able to do some odd jobs is already not bad."
Mu Lee looked up, and did not bother with her anymore, there were some things that should not be rushed, and must be done step by step, in order for it to be effective.
Mu Lee shamefully lowered her head, "That's right, big sister is right. I have my mother to take care of, so I don't have time to work."
"I think that little sister should already be married to Gu Tingchen. As the second young mistress of the Gu family, she won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, so she doesn't need to find a job."
Mu Yan mocked Mu Lee, and even Gu Tingchen was taunting him as well.
Mu Lee upon hearing this, frowned. This woman said that she was fine, but she actually brought Gu Tingchen along to say it out loud. She was unhappy in her heart: "Elder sister's words are wrong. I am me, Gu Tingchen is Gu Tingchen, I can't possibly spend the Gu family's money forever just because I married Gu Tingchen. Even though I am a woman, I am also a woman with dignity. I can't possibly lose face for the Mu Family just because of a little money, can I, grandfather? "
Mu Lee changed the topic to Mu Yu. Her grandfather admired talented people the most, so he would definitely agree with Mu Lee's words.
Without waiting for Mu Yu to speak, Mu Shaohua continued, "Father, since Xiao Li has yet to find a job, why not let her come work at our Mu Family. Xiao Li is a graduate from a famous university, so he should have some social experience during these few years.
This woman changed very quickly. Rather than letting her grow up somewhere else, it was better to keep watch under his nose. He wanted to see what ability this woman had to be able to repeatedly humiliate his family like that.
"There's no need. The Gu family will naturally have my wife's seat, so you don't need to waste any more time." Mu Yu also agreed with Mu Shaohua's suggestion, but he didn't expect that he would be interrupted before he could even speak.
Mu Lee turned and looked at Gu Tingchen. When did he find his a job?
Mu Yu looked at Gu Tingchen, he could not even protect himself now, how could he arrange for Mu Lee to join the company?
"Are you sure that you have arranged for Mu Lee to join the company?" Mu Yu uncertainly asked. If she could get into the Gu family's company, that would be for the best.
