Chapter 706: Light (3)

It was a sunny day in winter. Under the sun’s gentle glow, the tall buildings looked like they were coated in holy golden rays, appearing beautiful and mesmerizing. The refractions off the windows made people feel insignificant as they looked at them from below.
This was where Fuhua Real Estate was located.
This building was constructed by Fuhua Real Estate itself. Mu Yuchen remembered that this place was an undeveloped land when he was still a child, and things had not been particularly lively around here, but in just twenty years, this place had grown so much!
Mu Yuchen was firm in his opinions like Xi Xiaye was, and the South River area would be like this soon too.
He took the lift and arrived in Shen Yue’s office, b.u.mping into Lan Zilang who just came out of the room. The latter was surprised to see him there.
“Chairman Mu! Why are you here? Are you meeting Elder CEO?” Lan Zilang greeted as he told the secretary to get them some tea.
Mu Yuchen nodded. “I have something to discuss with him. Is he inside?”
“He’s in a meeting right now, so you might have to wait. It should be done in around 10 minutes. I’m just here to get some doc.u.ments. You know what? I’ll let him know,” Lan Zilang said.
Mu Yuchen stopped him. “It’s fine. I’ll wait inside the office and I’ll let Grandfather know once he’s done with the meeting.”
“Alright, have a seat inside then.”
Mu Yuchen was alone since Li Si was still in Glory World.
Shen Yue’s office was simple and clean. Mu Yuchen knew Shen Yue was in the military before. He maintained the same simple lifestyle even after so many years, so he was surprised when he first came over with Xi Xiaye and saw his office.
Mu Yuchen sat down on the sofa, enjoying the tea as he flipped through some magazines. Shen Yue came back from the meeting 10 minutes later, and he was glad to see Mu Yuchen.
“There’s some work to be done by the end of the year. I was planning to let Xiaye take over after November, but my great-grandchild is coming soon, so we’ll just have to wait until after the New Year.”
“I’m afraid you’ll need to work hard for a little while longer, Grandfather. Xiaye will be able to take over Fuhua after she recovers from the delivery. I’ve promoted some capable talents in Glory World and pa.s.sed over the work she was handling to them.”
Shen Yue nodded. “Sorry that you have to work harder. I’m getting old now and I’m not as tough as I was ten years ago. At most, I can only hang on for several years more. I feel kind of exhausted ever since your mother’s incident. Alright, let’s not talk about this. Are you here to discuss something with me?”
Mu Yuchen put his teacup down and looked at Shen Yue quietly. Moments later, he said, “This morning, I received a call from Doctor Harrison in Los Angeles. Mother removed the bandages this morning and her sight has returned. She’ll be returning in two days after a little observation. I asked Doctor Harrison about her condition and he said she is recovering very well, so I got Ah Bo to book them flight tickets back to City Z in three days.”
Shen Yue seemed glad even though he already knew Mu Yuchen’s intention of coming here.
Suddenly, Shen Yue was not sure what to say. His expression looked complicated, and moments later, he looked at Mu Yuchen with a frown.
“What do you think about Father and Mother?”
Mu Yuchen asked as he observed Shen Yue’s reaction, “I’m sure you know about their situation lately, Grandfather. I’m sure that Mother is at least a little bit happier with Father around. If they come back, what will you do about Father?”
Shen Yue still felt a little uncomfortable talking about Xi Mushan. No matter what, it was impossible to forget about the damage Xi Mushan had done to Shen Wenna. His impression of Xi Mushan was at its worst.
“Ah Chen, I know what you mean. I lost our bet back then and I will fulfill our promise. I won’t interfere with them. I won’t forbid them to be together and I won’t give Xi Mushan trouble as well, but if you want me to act like nothing happened before and accept him wholeheartedly, that’s impossible.”
After so much had happened, Shen Yue thought a lot about it and had many regrets.
Shen Yue never liked to compromise, even with his own daughter. If he had agreed to Shen Wenna and Xi Mushan being together back then, and she got married as the Shen family’s daughter, would everything have been different now?
Shen Yue was a prideful person. Maybe it was exactly because he only had one daughter, he was too protective of her, and that stubbornness could potentially lead to internal conflict.
Children all had their own views of the world. While parents do have more experience and want them to do well, they could not just clip their wings as that might cause unnecessary tragedies.
Shen Yue suddenly felt extremely guilty of his behavior. He just felt that there was too much to worry about.
However, Mu Yuchen only nodded as he listened to Shen Yue. “I’m glad to hear that. Grandfather, you don’t need to be so stressed. Just go with the flow.”
It was a difficult path for Xi Mushan and Shen Wenna to rebuild their relationship, and taking care of how Shen Yue felt was essential.
“What else can I say? Just let them be, do whatever they want.”
Shen Yue could only compromise. He sipped some tea and continued, “I won’t cause trouble for Xiaye and you as well, so don’t worry about it. I know what to do. By the way, Qi Qiming got Vice CEO Yue Hai to send another proposal over. It’s very similar to Qi Lei’s.”
Mu Yuchen instantly frowned. “Proposal? Is it regarding the South River project as well?”
“That’s right. Let me find it for you. It’s pretty interesting. However, I do find this a bit odd. It seems that Qi Qiming and w.a.n.g Qin are in a serious conflict.”
