Chapter 489 EXHAUSTED
"Xiao Liang, are you alright?" Jing Sheng was utterly speechless after seeing her elder son like this.
Mu Liang never showed his fatigue. He was always perfect. Nothing made him fall. Even if he was stressed, he didn\'t show it no anyone.
Now he had eye bags. His complexion was pale. His hair wasn\'t brushed properly. His shirt was a little wrinkled.
Mu Liang looked terrifying. He could be matched with a zombie from \'The Walking Dead\'.
He was perfectly healthy last night. What made him look like this overnight?
"Did something happened last night?" Mu Cheng wanted to know if something bad happened in the company.
"....I just need some rest." Mu Liang curtly said.
After he answered in that manner, no one dared to ask him again.
Mu Feng leaned towards Mu Lan and whispered, "Sis, you dried him off. He looks like a desert thirsting for water."
Mu Lan whispered as well, "Just wait and see."
While they were having meal, Jing Sheng noticed that Mu Lan was eating less. She said, "Xiao Lan, eat more. How will you live eating this much?"
Mu Liang stopped and gazed at her bowl. It was almost empty. He frowned but didn\'t say anything.
Mu Lan forced a smile and said, "I had some snacks in the morning after I woke up. So I don\'t feel like eating."
Noel was standing in the corner. He was surprised when he heard Mu Lan. \'She didn\'t eat anything except for water. Why did she lie?\' he wondered. He didn\'t say anything as it was rude for servants to speak while the masters were talking.
"Sister Lan Lan, do you have plans for today?" Mu Feng was planning on finding out if anyone was stalking Mu Lan. The moment he heard the news of The Cobra, he felt like their target was Mu Lan. So he wanted to experiment by himself. If he was fortunate, maybe The Cobra might show their faces.
"I have lots of work. Why are you asking? Do you need any help?" Mu Lan asked.
"Nothing. Ying thought that you might visit her later so I was asking." Mu Feng replied.
"How are the classes and the trainings going on? Is there anything you have problem with?" Grandfather Mu Cheng suddenly asked. He never showed his interest in household activities. But now he thought that he needed to keep in touch with it.
Of course she was having problems. All the trainers and the teachers were from aristocratic families and they taught in the royal families. Now they got in touch with a commoner and they had no interest in a commoner like her. However, since the person is from the Mu Family, they were bound to teach her with a smiling face. Moreover, Mu Lan was doing her homework without any mistakes and always seemed so perfect, that they had no place to complain. But they talked bad about her behind their backs.
"She is so greedy."
"She is a fox."
"Mu Family will be destroyed by her."
"She must be good in the bed."
"She must did the same thing whenever she saw other rich guy too."
However, Mu Lan never cared about those things. She needed their knowledge, so she paid them to learn more and more. She cared less about those bunch of idiotic people who knew almost nothing about her.
Mu Lan gave a smile in reply and said, "Everything is normal. The teachers are hardworking in every aspect. I\'m doing my homework properly. It\'s nothing hard. Don\'t worry grandfather. I will do an excellent job."
Mu Liang thought about it. Though everything regarding study was normal to Mu Lan, if those narrow minded people didn\'t give her hard times, he would be surprised.
He planned to keep an eyes on those teachers. If they were found giving Mu Lan the slightest hard time, then he would stop her from studying any further and would vanish those unsightly people. Mu Lan was perfect the way she was. She didn\'t need to learn those garbage. She didn\'t need to work hard. She would be protected by him. All she needed was him and she had to do nothing. She could just live her life with love and caring.
In the whole meal time, Mu Liang didn\'t glance at Mu Lan a single time and Mu Lan was the same. But both of their minds were filled with them. Mu Lan was thinking when Mu Liang would come back to the normal state, and Mu Liang was thinking how he could reduce Mu Lan\'s work.
Mu Feng saw those two didn\'t look at each other and found it weird. Curiosity was overflowing in his blood but he controlled himself and had his meal.
After breakfast, Mu Liang went to the library. He still had some works to be done. Yesterday, he told his man to find more about the reporter who dared to take those photos secretly and tried to blackmail them.
In the end, it was found out that the person who sent the pictures to the media was the reporter, and the pictures which were sent to Mu Liang and Qi Ying was a professional thief.
The whole incident was suspicious. The reporter and the thief didn\'t meet each other, but they had same photos. Someone was behind their backs who as paying them for doing this. It only showed that the person was trying to harm Mu Family, first that person wanted to split the relationship between Mu brothers and the fiancées, after that, if it was known by the media and the people in would be an impact on business. Mu Corporation would lose shares.
If Mu Liang and Qi Ying didn\'t know their partners well enough, the relationship between couples and friends would destroy in a blink of eyes.
Certainly, Mu Liang felt bad when Mu Lan went to the shopping mall with his brother and not him. Though he wasn\'t talking to her, but, he would agree to go wherever she wanted to go with him.
