Chapter 713 Not Too Late Not Too Late
The entrance to Gu Ze's apartment was a mess. The evening light fell on this chaotic place, casting a dim and depressing hue on everything.
Mu Xiaoji's cough gradually eased, and every cough seemed to carry with it the lingering weakness in his body.
Jiang Shuo's little face was full of anxiety, and he no longer cared about the stinging pain coming from the scratched cheek.
He quickly and skillfully pulled Dad Mu Xiaoji's wrist, placed his chubby little fingers gently on Mu Xiaoji's pulse, and began to take his pulse.
Jiang Shuo's eyes were focused and solemn, as if he could see through all the secrets in Mu Xiaoji's body through this slight touch.
Soon, Jiang Shuo's brows furrowed tightly. He knew from the disordered pulse that his father was in this state because he had just used the Shadow-Following Technique.
This kind of martial arts is extremely advanced, but it puts a huge strain on the body. With Mu Xiaoji's weak body now, it is really too much for him to bear.
Seeing the father and son slowly stand up, Gu Ze hurried forward and held Mu Xiaoji firmly with his hands, his eyes full of concern.
He anxiously suggested, "Mr. Mu, how are you? Jiang Shuo hurt his cheek. Take him in and get some treatment!"
Mu Xiaoji seemed to be struck by lightning. He suddenly shook off Gu Ze's arm, his eyes as cold as ice, and his tone was full of a chill that kept people at a distance:
"No, he just got out of the hospital and is still weak. I don't want him to see us get angry.
Since you have brought him to your side, you must take good care of him."
After that, Mu Xiaoji gently took Jiang Shuo's hand. Although his voice was still a little weak, he said firmly: "Jiang Shuo, let's go home!"
Xiang Xiaowu stood in the courtyard of the apartment, witnessing the scene at the gate and listening to Jiang Chengyu's arrangements on the phone:
"Xiao Wu, please send them back to the Seaview Villa! Remember to pick up the custom-made items for me from the jewelry store and give them to Youyou."
After saying that, Xiang Xiaowu turned around and walked towards the car without hesitation. With the roar of the engine,
The car drove out of the yard like a wild horse and stopped steadily beside Mu Xiaoji.
Xiang Xiaowu got out of the car swiftly and neatly, then opened the door and said respectfully, "Mr. Mu, get in!"
Jiang Shuo was the first to go in, his small figure showing a hint of stubbornness and tenacity.
Afterwards, Mu Xiaoji looked at Gu Ze with mixed emotions, his eyes seemed to contain sadness and resentment. Finally, he held his breath and got into the car.
Such a thing happened just after arriving home, which really made Gu Ze feel helpless.
He could only watch the car speed away like an arrow, and the dust raised in the air seemed to be telling the aftermath of the chaos.
As soon as Gu Ze turned around and walked into the living room, he heard Feng Tao's slightly sarcastic voice: "Boss Jiang, this is it!"
As he spoke, he raised his thumb exaggeratedly, which seemed to be praise, but in fact, he had something else to say.
"It seems that Mr. Jiang is also a well-known figure in the business world! He used to dote on Mu Xiaoji!
He doted on her like a treasure, but now he looks so resolute and indifferent.
Look at how miserable Mu Xiaoji is. It hurts just looking at him!"
As he spoke, Feng Tao couldn't help but stroke his arms with his hands, his face showing an empathetic expression, as if he had truly experienced the pain that Mu Xiaoji had suffered:
"For men, being ruthless should be their nature, otherwise why would there be a difference between men and women!" After saying this, he chuckled complacently.
Gu Ze listened to Feng Tao's words, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose up. He couldn't help but roared:
"Feng Tao, shut up! If you hadn't been talking nonsense here, would Cheng Yu have been able to hurt Mu Xiaoji like that?"
Feng Tao was startled by Gu Ze's roar. He showed an innocent expression on his face, quickly spread his arms, and denied it:
"Nonono, Gu Ze, you are wronging me. What happened between them has nothing to do with me. I am just speaking the truth."
Gu Ze was so angry that he was shaking all over. He glared at Feng Tao fiercely, pushed Feng Tao away who was blocking his way, walked a few steps to the sofa, and gently helped Jiang Chengyu up.
At this moment, Jiang Chengyu's eyes were empty, and he looked like a walking corpse, as if he had lost all perception of his surroundings.
Gu Ze comforted him softly, "Cheng Yu, don't listen to Feng Tao's nonsense. Come on, I'll take you to the bedroom to rest."
Jiang Chengyu nodded mechanically, dragged his heavy steps, and followed Gu Ze upstairs slowly.
In the luxury car driven by Xiang Xiaowu, there was a faint atmosphere of sadness in the car.
Jiang Shuo was like a wounded little deer, snuggling tightly in Mu Xiaoji's warm arms, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he let out a whimpering cry.
Although the crying was not loud, it was like a bunch of sharp needles piercing Mu Xiaoji's heart.
Mu Xiaoji hugged Jiang Shuo's shoulders lovingly and asked softly in a gentle and slightly hoarse voice:
"You were surrounded by Pang Hu and his gang at Hongfujin Kindergarten, and were even severely slapped by Pang Juan. But you were so strong that you didn't shed a single tear.
Today, Daddy just asked you to go home, why did he treat you so badly? "
Jiang Shuo sobbed and finally choked out, "Dad, little daddy doesn't want us anymore. What should we do now?"
As he spoke, big tears rolled down his red little face.
Mu Xiaoji was not discouraged at all. He gently stroked Jiang Shuo's head, his eyes full of determination and tenderness, and asked softly: "Jiang Shuo, do you think he can have the final say on this matter alone?"
When Jiang Shuo heard this, he wiped the tears from his face with his little hands, looked up with confusion in his eyes, and asked, "Dad, what do you mean by this?"
Mu Xiaoji raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said with determination: "Jiang Shuo, it was because Dad didn't know how to cherish me that I missed out on so much.
But now Dad knows he was wrong and plans to win Little Dad back. What do you think Dad's chances of success are?"
Jiang Shuo blinked his big watery eyes, tears still hanging on his long and thick eyelashes, sparkling like crystal clear pearls under the dim light in the car.
Without hesitation, he said with great confidence, "Based on my understanding and observation of Little Daddy over the years, he is not as cold-blooded and ruthless to you as he appears to be."
At this moment, Xiang Xiaowu, who had been driving quietly, interrupted the conversation and agreed, "Yes, Jiang Shuo is right.
It was President Jiang who called me just now and told me to get you home safely."
After hearing this, Mu Xiaoji let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Xiao Wu, you have to pay more attention during this period and take good care of him.
If there is any situation or news from him, you must report it to us immediately. I believe that it won't be long before I can get him back to my side."
Jiang Shuo also nodded quickly and said seriously: "Yes, Uncle Xiao Wu, you must help us pay attention to the mood changes of little daddy.
And his daily work schedule is necessary to ensure that our plan is carried out effectively. If we let him wander around alone all the time, what will happen to him? "
Xiang Xiaowu looked at the father and son through the rearview mirror and nodded firmly, "Okay, Jiang Shuo, I know what I should do."
Just like that, the three of them seemed to have reached some kind of sacred alliance, and their eyes were filled with confidence and determination.
The car flashed by like a shooting star across the night sky. Outside the car window, the sky gradually darkened and the city lights lit up one by one.
Gradually, a brilliant and gorgeous night scene was outlined, as if silently blessing their plan.
Soon after, the car drove steadily into the luxurious sea view villa. Jiang Shuo walked to the door skillfully, stretched out his little hand to identify the fingerprint, and with a "beep", the door slowly opened.
Jiang Shuo subconsciously pulled up his mask, carefully hiding the tiny but glaring scratch on his cheek.
Mu Xiaoji wore Xiang Xiaowu's coat, trying to cover his back as tightly as possible to hide the pain in his back.
The two of them hid behind Xiang Xiaowu with a guilty look on their faces, and deliberately pushed Xiang Xiaowu to walk in front.
Xiang Xiaowu walked into the living room with an exquisite gift box firmly in his hands and a bright smile on his face.
In the living room, Mu Huiying and Dean Guo were sitting on the sofa, looking worried, talking quietly. Xiang Xiaowu politely greeted, "Dean Guo, Madam, good evening."
Mu Huiying heard the voice, looked at Xiang Xiaowu with a smile, and responded politely: "It's Xiaowu, this is..."
Xiang Xiaowu quickly responded with a smile, "This is a wedding gift specially prepared by President Jiang for Miss Youyou."
As soon as he finished speaking, Youyou and Kelaiweiler came out of the kitchen carrying fruit plates. Hearing this, Youyou said happily, "Brother Cheng Yu really prepared a gift?"
Xiang Xiaowu smiled and nodded, "Well, a few days ago, President Jiang personally took the time to draw the design, and then handed it to Jordana in the design department to carefully produce it.
I've been keeping it in my car these past few days and haven't been able to get it to you. I'm taking this opportunity to bring it to you today, and I hope it's not too late."
Youyou couldn't wait to open the big gift box and responded, "It's not too late, thank you for your hard work, Xiang Xiaowu."
Inside was a brand new eight-piece set with an exquisite and elegant design, and every detail showed the ultimate craftsmanship and care.
There is also a pair of couple watches in the gift box, with exquisite dials and high-quality straps. Youyou happily picked up one of the watches,
After putting it on Colleyville's wrist, he said excitedly, "Honey, don't you think it's beautiful?"
Coleman looked at Youyou like an innocent and lively child, his eyes full of doting, and responded with a smile:
"Yes dear, it is very beautiful. Kate will always be a very special person in our hearts."
At this moment, Mu Xiaoji saw that the atmosphere was just right, and hurriedly said with a careless look, "Uncle Guo, Mother Mu, you guys chat first. I feel like I stink all over after all this travel. I'm going upstairs to take a shower."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to reply, he pulled Jiang Shuo and the two of them disappeared at the stairs in a flash, leaving only the laughter of everyone in the living room.
