The weather was not as gloomy as it had been two days ago. It looked like it was starting to clear up as the cold breeze blew lightly, filling the air with freshness.

At Qingshan Cemetery.

Mu Lings.h.i.+ put the lillies in her hand on Mu Lingtian’s tombstone. The huge sungla.s.ses hid the melancholy in her eyes while Ah Mo stood right behind her.

“It’s been almost five years… Time flies so quickly. All of this keeps feeling like it just happened yesterday,” Mu Lings.h.i.+ sighed, her clear voice coming through.

“Lingtian’s soul might have already been reborn. Ah s.h.i.+, don’t be too sad about it.” Ah Mo turned to look at her, catching all the grief in her eyes. He could not help but advise, “It’s been quite a few years now. I’m sure he wouldn’t want you to be like this too.”

Mu Lings.h.i.+ fixed her gaze onto the black and white picture on the tombstone as a bitter smile graced her lips. “I still don’t understand why he would have done that… Was brother not good to him? Why did he do that?”

As Ah Mo listened, he could not help but sigh. He thought about it for a long time, then answered, “Master has always wanted to know too… Back then, if it were not because he secretly helped him, it might not have all turned out like this…”

Mu Lings.h.i.+ lowered her gaze, watching the lilies sway in the wind. Her eyes underneath the sungla.s.ses suddenly started to blur. She could only vaguely feel the moisture that graced the corner of her eyes. A while after that, she softly said, “If it didn’t? Sadly, all of this can only be guesswork. It’s already happened, so all we can do is just accept it.”

“Actually, I’ve always wanted to know… He and my brother seemed to have quite a huge gap. From what I remember, Big Brother has always been very protective of the three of us, so to me, I only have Big Brother. All of us are just Brother’s sidekicks. When we were younger and got hurt, he would always stand up for us.

“I remember, once, Lingtian fought with his cla.s.smates. He injured the other cla.s.smate’s head and didn’t go home because he was worried about being scolded by Grandfather and Grandmother. It was Brother who found him in the abandoned factory in the middle of the night. He carried him and walked a long way before they reached home. In fact, he a.s.sumed all responsibility. That night, mother punished Brother by making him copy a whole night’s worth of school rules.”

As Mu Lings.h.i.+ spoke, her hands that fell by her side suddenly tightened slightly and her tone suddenly turned cold. “But look at how he treated Brother!”

Ah Mo did not know what to say, so he only offered, “Ah s.h.i.+, I think Lingtian might have had his own reasons.”

While Mu Lings.h.i.+’s expression had turned cold, the scar that could not be concealed looked particularly clear under the faint sunlight. She laughed bitterly. “Whenever someone does something wrong, they always use some secret trouble and said they did it against their will. Can that make up for the hurt they caused? Did he think of Brother then? Did he consider the Mu family? Once the news is spread, what would others think of Brother and the Mu family?”

“This is a matter of the past, Ah s.h.i.+! Master’s more worried about you! These past few years, Master has been trying to find out where they are too. There hasn’t been any news from the Qi and the Gu families. Apart from working on the Movie City project in City B, I’ve been constantly watching out for any movement from the Gu family, yet I still haven’t noticed them reveal anything at all.”

Ah Mo frowned slightly as he added with a deep voice, “But I still don’t dare to raise this to the Master. In fact, recently, the South River project that the Missus is handling is coincidentally going up against Qi Kai. Master is actually very worried that Missus will be taken advantage of. He’s been worried about the South River project recently, and spending a lot of time on it.”

“Qi Kai!? Isn’t that the Qi family’s company?”

Mu Lings.h.i.+’s expression turned colder now. Hostility flashed in her eyes as she looked at Ah Mo through the sungla.s.ses and said, “Glory World and Qi Kai have never had any business dealings with each other. Grandfather has even particularly stated it before. What is Bro thinking?”

“Ah s.h.i.+, you know Master’s rules too. He definitely won’t yield if it’s within the boundaries of his capabilities. In fact, I seem to be able to guess the reason behind Master’s actions. He knew long ago that Qi Kai’s very interested in this project too. Besides, Missus has been previously looking into this project too. Grandfather did agree to this project, but it was delayed after that because of the Imperial Sky and New Era Plaza matters.

“Master has always been very interested in the South River. When he arranged the doc.u.ments, he found the proposal that Missus had written, so after some discussion with the Vice Presidents, it was decided.”

When Ah Mo said this, Mu Lings.h.i.+ was startled. She fell silent for a while, then she said, “Can Sis-in-law handle those people? Who’s the one handling this project on their side?”

“It’s Qi Lei. He’s currently the Vice President of Qi Kai.”

“Qi Lei? How could it be him!?” Mu Lings.h.i.+ instantly frowned and he could not help but feel his head ache.

Ah Mo hesitated, then answered, “Don’t worry. Master won’t let Missus fight alone. He’s personally getting involved in this project. The new plans from the government should be released soon and the tender meeting is probably going be on the 12th or 14th this month. It’ll be inevitable for everyone to meet then.”

“Is Brother outstation for work now? Earlier, I called him and his phone was still switched off.”

“He’ll probably rush back in time before the tender. Don’t worry. He’s already told Missus to take care of you. Previously, I handled all the things at the Imperial Sky Entertainment Club. If there’s anything you’re unsure of, you can ask me. I might have to leave City Z for City B in a few more days, so you…”

With Mu Lings.h.i.+, Ah Mo did not dare to talk about whatever between them or mention their past. Just like their conversation now, it was the only way Mu Lings.h.i.+ would speak to him calmly.

“Go, Sis-in-law seems pretty great. She should be able to do it well,” Mu Lings.h.i.+ answered calmly, reaching up to fix her sungla.s.ses. “When did she and Bro begin? I’ve never heard Bro mention her before. When the family called me to tell me about this, I was so shocked.”

“Missus has always been working at the Glory World headquarters. Grandfather admires her very much. In fact, Grandmother was an old comrade-in-arms with her Grandpa. Missus is a pretty great person. After they got married, Master has been smiling much more, Ah s.h.i.+. This marriage is a good thing.”

When she heard Ah Mo, Mu Lings.h.i.+ hesitated before she nodded. “Mmm, they look pretty well-matched. Whatever it is, as long as Brother likes her, I’m happy for him.”

Then, Mu Lings.h.i.+ looked at the black and white photo on the tombstone again, and at Mu Zixi beside them. She breathed in deeply, then suddenly turned around.

“Okay, let’s go back,” she said with finality, then walked away.
