Naturally, Mu Xiaocheng did not know that the adults were already thinking about him. At this moment, he was holding Mu Yuchen’s hand and taking his phone away.
Mu Yuchen let him be. He hugged him dotingly and helped him tidy up his clothes.
“Xiaocheng, you have to protect sister Qi Lan from now on, understand? You can’t let anyone bully her, hmm?”
Qi Lei then smiled at Mu Xiaocheng.
When he heard someone call him, Mu Xiaocheng turned around too. When he saw Qi Lei’s serious expression, he thought about it quietly. Then, his little head nodded slightly, seeming to understand something.
The smile on Qi Lei’s face became even wider. He reached out to pet Mu Xiaocheng’s little head. “What a good child! Look at you. You’re probably going to be the boss of these brats in the future.”
“Chen, Mu Xiaocheng looks more and more like you. Look at his features. I can vaguely see Xi Xiaye’s silhouette, but now by his looks, it’s obvious to other people that you’re father and son at a glance.”
“Isn’t that obvious? How can biological father and son not look alike? Would they be looking like you?”
Before Zhou Zimo could finish his sentence, Su Chen had already begun to retort unhappily.
“Personal attacks? Your daughter’s market is also very high! Doesn’t Qi Lei and Chen have a son?”
Zhou Zimo glanced at the displeased Su Chen and could only console him.
As expected, Su Chen’s expression looked much better when he heard that!
That was right!
Mu Zirui, Mu Zirui that brat was pretty good too!
“It’s better to wait for the children to grow up before making their own decisions. Our parents didn’t treat us like this before either.”
Qi Lei thought about it and glanced at Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen smiled. “I agree.”
“The project in City B is about to enter the final phase. It took almost five years, so we’ll be able to enter the trial phase in a few months. I was worried about Liuyun, so I was delayed a while ago. I’ll personally go over there to prepare for the final phase in a few days. The first phase of the South River Project is waiting for acceptance. The second phase is still ongoing, so I’ll leave it to you.”
Qi Lei did not forget about his work. He had been busy taking care of Liuyun recently, so things were delayed a little. Fortunately, Mu Yuchen had put in some effort, so the progress of the project was not left behind.
“It’s okay. Just take it as making up for the honeymoon trip that you guys couldn’t achieve.”
Mu Yuchen was very magnanimous.
On the other hand, when Qi Lei mentioned this honeymoon trip, he felt very regretful.
Initially, he wanted to go on a honeymoon with Dongfang Liuyun after they got married. Unexpectedly, he was injured and then the wedding was delayed. Then there was the child, so his wish had yet to come true.
“Let’s wait for a while, our child is still so young, there’s no way we can just go.”
“Don’t worry. There are still plenty of opportunities. Let’s wait till the children are a little older. Didn’t Qin Su and I not go on our honeymoon too? However, time passed too quickly. In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed just like that, I’m already 35 this year? Yesterday when Qin Su asked me, I could not quite react.”
Among the few of them, Su Chen was one year older than Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo. He was almost 36 this year, and it was not easy for him to have such a daughter. Qi Lei was a little younger, but he was already over 30 years old. He was not young anymore.
“In the blink of an eye, we’re already old. We’ll work hard for another 20 years, and then we can retire and let the children do it.”
Su Chen smiled. Before he had his daughter, Su Jingling, he sometimes felt quite stressed. Now that they had a child, he and Ji Zitong felt relieved. At least, they did not have to worry about the nagging of the elders at home anymore.
However, Elder Su’s health seemed to be not too good recently. Elder Su was already in his eighties, it was tough for people his age. Especially after Mu Yinan passed away, Elder Su and Elder Zhou’s spirits were also a little low, when the elders were still around, everyone was in good spirits.
“How’s Grandfather Su now?”
Mu Yuchen asked about it as well. Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo were very concerned about Grandfather Su’s health. Some time ago, the buddies and Qi Lei had even gone to the Su family’s old residence to visit Grandfather Su.
“Sigh, what can he do? He’s almost 90 years old. He was with us a few days ago and he’s been feeling a little tired recently. He told us to try not to go too far, I keep feeling like there’s more to the old man’s words. My father, on the other hand, is very open-minded. He said that there would be such a day sooner or later. My father doesn’t go out to socialize anymore. When he’s free, he’ll run home. You know, my father is very respectful and concerned about the old man.”
Speaking of this matter, Su Chen’s heart also felt heavy.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry. Grandfather Su is still in good health. He should be able to last for a few more years,” Qi Lei replied.
“I hope so. This is unavoidable. I’ve already discussed it with Zitong. After a few days, I’ll move back to the old residence. I’ll let the old man see the children more so that he can feel happier. My mother plans to leave the company to Zitong. She’ll take care of the children at home and take care of Grandfather.”
Su Chen lowered his head and took a sip of the wine in his glass. His expression was a little quiet.
“Grandfather has experienced many storms in his life. He’s more open-minded than us. Let’s just see how it goes and not think too much about it,” Mu Yuchen replied in a low voice.
“I know. We can empathize with each other too. Grandfather Mu… sigh, today’s a good day. Let’s not talk about these depressing things. Come, drink, drink!”
Su Chen did not want to say anymore, so he raised the wine glass in his hand.
The brothers nodded and clinked their glasses as well.
“I heard from my father a few days ago that the documents from the provincial department have been sent over. The Disciplinary Inspection Department has also reviewed it. Director Huang and the higher-ups of the provincial department think highly of you. Are you hopeful of taking over the position at the city bureau headquarters next year?”
Mu Yuchen recalled Mu Tangchuan’s praise for Su Chen a few days ago. Su Chen had also been a deputy director in the north of the city for nearly five years, and his background was so strong. It was only a matter of time before he was promoted.
“I can’t say for sure yet. Now, I actually think that this position isn’t bad. It’s more important and has more responsibility. Moreover, that peacock in the south of the city has never given up. I don’t like him very much. It would be good if I could be promoted. At least, I won’t have to be ostracized by him anymore,” Su Chen said sullenly.
“Ostracized by him? I don’t know when you, Su Chen, became so well-behaved?” Zhou Zimo said with some surprise.
“What do you know? His background is not inferior to ours. This time, many people from the provincial office are speaking up for him. So, this matter has not been decided yet. Let’s just see.”
Su Chen did not really care about this matter.
