The villa was very quiet. When the servants saw Mu Xiao, they only nodded politely and made almost no sound.

“Uncle Wang, is my father in the study?” Mu Xiao spoke to an old man in his fifties.

“Yes, Second Young Master.” Uncle Wang glanced at Lin Yin inadvertently and said to Mu Xiao, “Master heard that you would be back and has been waiting for you in the study.”

“Okay, I’ll go up and look for him now.” Mu Xiao brought Lin Yin upstairs. Uncle Wang watched the two of them leave and thought that Lin Yin was the girlfriend Mu Xiao had brought back. He was very happy.

Old Master had been worried about his sons’ marriage. It seemed like there would be good news for the Mu family soon.

Lin Yin followed Mu Xiao upstairs and realized that the decoration of the entire villa was very warm. It seemed like they had spent a lot of effort on Mu Xiao’s mother’s emotions.

Mu Xiao knocked on the study door gently. A deep male voice came from the door.

“Enter.”

Lin Yin followed Mu Xiao into the study and saw the man sitting on the swivel chair at the innermost corner.

He did not look like an old man. Lin Yin realized that Mu Xiao’s father was not much different from the man she had seen in the family photo previously. It was as if time had not left many marks on his face. He was still tall and serious, but his eyes looked sharper.

When the man saw Mu Xiao, he put down the document in his hand. A smile slowly appeared on his serious face, and his voice became warmer. “Little Xiao is back.”

When Mu Yi heard his son call and say that he wanted to bring a friend to see him, he started to look forward to it. When he saw the girl behind Mu Xiao, he was even happier.

It seemed that her son might really have brought his girlfriend back. This was the first time Mu Qing had seen his son bring a girl home, and he could not help but feel a little excited.

“Dad, this is Lin Yin, my friend.”

“Hello, Uncle.” Lin Yin greeted Mu Qi obediently.

Mu Qi looked up at Lin Yin. When she saw the girl’s facial features carefully, her eyes revealed a hint of surprise. This girl’s appearance was actually 70 to 80% similar to Mu Xiao’s, and she was also verv similar to his wife when she was young.

“Dad, you also realized that Little Yin looks a little like me, right?” Mu Xiao noticed the surprise in Mu Xiao’s eyes.

Mu Qi nodded, but she quickly adjusted her emotions. “You found a beautiful young lady. She looks compatible with you.”

Lin Yin looked at Mu Xiao awkwardly, but she realized that he had no intention of explaining.

“Dad, Little Yin and I came here this time to ask you for help.”

Mu Xiao handed the photo in Lin Yin’s cell phone to Mu Xiao. “Is the person in the photo my mother?”

Mu Xiao looked at the woman Mu Xiao pointed out and nodded. “Yes, I was the one who gave this gown to your mother.”

Mu Qi’s gaze was very gentle, as if he had recalled some things from the past. Lin Yin noticed that Mu Qi’s gaze changed when he saw the man looking at Ye Wen.

“Uncle, do you know him?” Lin Yin pointed at the man, hoping to obtain some new discoveries from Mu Feng.

“Yes, how can I not know Zhou Li?” Mu Qi thought for a moment and said to Lin Yin, “Are you related to this person?”

“No, it’s just that there are some family matters that might be related to him. I want to ask you if you know what kind of person he is?”

Mu Yi felt that the little girl in front of him gave him a very intimate feeling and he was inexplicably unguarded against her.

“This person’s name is Zhou Li. He has always been my competitor. Although you’re a junior and I shouldn’t say it, he’s indeed a sinister person.”

Mu Yi sighed softly. “I fought with him for a long time. In the end, he failed and almost got into a lawsuit. Later, he went overseas.”

Lin Yin had gained a lot from Mu Qi. At the very least, she knew this man’s name.

“Uncle, has this person called Zhou Li been married before?” Lin Yin realized that Mu Qi’s expression was clearly a little ugly.

“I don’t think so. I’m not afraid of you laughing at me. When he was young, he had always liked Mu Xiao’s mother, but he didn’t manage to snatch her from me. In the end, he even lost his business. It’s retribution.”

Lin Yin realized that although Mu Qi’s tone was very relaxed, he was clearly very hostile to this man called Zhou Li. However, for some reason, he seemed to be deliberately hiding something from her.

After that, Mu Xiao kept chatting with Lin Yin about useless pleasantries, as if he really treated her as Mu Xiao’s girlfriend and was very enthusiastic about her..
