CHAPTER 271: CHAPTER 271 IT’S TIME TO REPAY THE KINDNESS

Mu Jiu watched their retreating figures, his mind heavy with thoughts.

Returning to the ward, he found that old Lady Mu hadn’t gone to sleep.

She was leaning against the headboard, lost in thought.

"Why aren’t you lying down to rest?" Mu Jiu, being dutiful, helped old Lady Mu to lie down.

Old Lady Mu clutched his hand and said, "I just heard from the nurse that you and Ruanruan have some misunderstandings?"

Mu Jiu reassured her: "What misunderstanding could there be? Didn’t I just come to see you?"

Old Lady Mu shook her head.

She said, "Jiu, that’s not what I meant."

Then she sighed, "I heard that she’s having a tough time at the Bao Family, even her fiance was snatched away several times! Jiu, isn’t the Gu Family strong enough to protect her?"

Mu Jiu was roaring inside.

Damn!

Who spread these stupid rumors?

Su Ruanruan’s man isn’t Bao Ziqi at all, okay?

Moreover, with all her plotting and scheming, does she even care about such trivial matters of love?

But Old Lady Mu cared!

Old Lady Mu made up her mind, "Jiu, we owe Academician Su too much! Now it’s our time to repay."

Mu Jiu sat on one side.

He was silent, even wanting to smoke a cigarette.

After a long while, he said hoarsely, "She wants me to agree to three conditions."

"Which three?" Old Lady Mu asked eagerly.

Mu Jiu then told her.

At the end, he said, "Isn’t this forcing me into a corner? If I agree, where would I put my face? And if she becomes your goddaughter, won’t I lose my chance?"

"You’re still thinking about chances!" Old Lady Mu glared at her son.

Mu Jiu’s face flushed.

Old Lady Mu said, "That girl and the eldest young master of the Bao Family are a couple, right?"

Mu Jiu’s eyes widened.

His mother is incredible!

Old Lady Mu’s aged eyes held wisdom, "That child is aloof by nature, and there aren’t many she trusts! But once she does, she protects fiercely."

She groped and grabbed her son’s hand, "Having a sister like Ruanruan, she will definitely pull you back when you mess up in the future... I won’t have to worry anymore."

These words deeply saddened Mu Jiu.

He said, "I’ll think about it."

Old Lady Mu closed her eyes.

A smile on her lips.

...

Mu Jiu returned to the villa.

Zhou Susu was lounging in a bathrobe, comfortably reading a magazine.

Mu Jiu sat opposite her, frowning, "What kind of attire is that?"

Zhou Susu, having long awaited his return, boldly climbed into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, exhaling softly, "It’s been days since I saw you, and you scold me the moment you return."

She offered up her red lips, and her hands were also quite forward.

Mu Jiu hadn’t indulged for several days.

Stirred by Zhou Susu, he soon pressed her down onto the couch.

Several of his men immediately stepped out, closing the door behind them.

After a passionate encounter.

Mu Jiu left Zhou Susu and went directly to shower.

When he returned, Zhou Susu had already woken up.

She had draped on a robe, kneeling beside him as she helped him light a cigarette...

Mu Jiu eyed her, "Acting cheap again?"

Zhou Susu glowered resentfully, her voice sultry, "I missed you, Mu Jiu."

She added, "Your mother doesn’t like me, I didn’t dare go to the hospital! Now that you’re back, I want to stick with you."

Mu Jiu snuffed out his cigarette and forcefully pressed the woman in his arms onto the carpet...

By the afternoon, he was finally free.

Mu Jiu sat on the terrace, smoking, occasionally checking his phone.

No new messages.

Mu Jiu sat quietly, lost in thought.

The girl’s words, his mother’s words, alternately appeared...

Mu Jiu had never felt such hesitation.

Demanding his apology, dispersing his wealth was acceptable, but recognizing that girl would end all possibilities!

Mu Jiu closed his eyes.

Yet, in his mind, he replayed the girl calling him "Brother Jiu"...
