Chapter 62 Persuasion, Withdrawal from School

  The old man who was furious in the study was Su Mo Ruo, who had met and crossed swords with him by the river. On a well-maintained face, the original ruddy complexion was replaced by anger, with an unnatural flush, his eyes wide open. He was Shangguan Hongping, one of the top-ranked deputy prime ministers in the country, who liked military affairs but had mistakenly entered politics and had risen to his current height.

  Although he has the status of today, the old man has never neglected his beloved martial arts for a moment. He has always encouraged his sons and grandsons to join the army, but what disappoints him is that not one of them has joined the army properly. And he, with the identity of Vice Premier, also got to know Mu Rongqi, the director of the National Security Bureau, and would often come into contact with military affairs. Similarly, he also often finds people to spar with.

  Many people used to think that the old man was crazy, after all, he was a civil official, but had very close contact with military personnel. Many people laughed at him and expected his downfall, but unexpectedly, his relationship with the No. 1 leader became increasingly close. If it weren't for his refusal back then, he might have been nominated as the Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission.

  Today, he finally revealed the secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time to Murong Qi, but unexpectedly, this old man didn't listen or believe him and directly refused. Thinking of this, he felt like there was a fire burning in his heart, his eyes were about to spew fire, and he gritted his teeth and continued to roar into the phone: "I'm telling you, Murong Qi, don't think I'm fooling around with you, that girl is a treasure. If others find out, especially that old freak from the Ning family, she'll be snatched away, and then there will be no place for you to cry."

  As soon as the words came out, the old man who was originally sitting on the sofa with a radiant face and a spirited appearance suddenly stood up from the sofa, but his voice was still calm. "I've been made fun of like this, but since you said so, I'm willing to meet this girl and see if she's really as capable as you say... Even if not, as long as she's willing to follow me, I'll cultivate her, let her participate in the assessment, and if qualified, she can also enter the Dragon Group."

  Listening to this, Shangguan Hongping almost spat out a mouthful of blood, his uncontrolled words and changed tone directly roaring out, "Murong Qi, I told you very clearly, since you don't want to believe me, and insist on releasing those few people from the Dragon Group, then from now on, you can take care of them for the rest of your life. This girl, I won't give her to you." After finishing speaking, he was so angry that he directly hung up the phone.

  "Is it really that serious?" Murong Qi muttered to himself, staring at the already hung-up phone, his eyes filled with skepticism.

  ……

  It's not easy to get a taxi here, because after leaving the Song family, there was no special driver to send her away. The Song family is located in a villa on the hillside of the mountain, and all the surrounding residents are billionaires, so it's impossible that there wouldn't be a private car. So even if you walk very far from here, you won't find a taxi.

  Standing on the middle of the mountain, Sumo looked around and then walked down the mountain step by step along the road. Occasionally a car would pass by, making Sumo, who was walking on the half-mountain roadside, look even more out of place.

  Suddenly, a red modern sports car stopped beside Sumo with a loud noise. The woman's shouting inside the car made her frown involuntarily.

  "Hey, isn't this Su Mo Ruo, the very proud student from our school? What's she doing walking alone on this desolate road?" A girl with a bright red down jacket and matching shorts, black leggings, and large earrings slowly opened the car door of a red sedan and stepped out, walking up to Su Mo Ruo with a sudden, sarcastic smile.

  Upon hearing this, Su Mo was left speechless. He hadn't expected to run into Jiang Yu here, and now he saw two men and one woman emerge from Jiang Yu's small run, realizing that the woman had coincidentally stumbled upon them today, apparently looking for trouble.

  "Who is this little rain, why come back to our side, and still have the nerve to walk away?" A similarly fashionable woman with delicate makeup walked up to Jiang Yu's side, gave Su Mo a cold glance, then reluctantly looked at her again, and smiled at Jiang Yu.

  Although running into Su Mo today was not part of the plan, thinking that Father had already started making arrangements for things, Jiang Yu's original discontent in her heart gradually disappeared. Looking at Su Mo, she felt a sense of schadenfreude and explained to her good friend beside her: "This is the one I told you about, that super popular new student... fearless of heaven or earth..."

  Before Jiang Yu could say anything, the girl suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, she's not the one who hurt you, is she?"

  The Jiang family has always been a prominent and respected family, so if they were to tell outsiders that they had been bullied, they would definitely be ridiculed. Even if no one says anything openly, there will still be snickers behind their backs. So, after some discussion, the Jiang family decided on a unified explanation for what happened with Su Mo: that Jiang Yu was beaten up by Su Mo and ended up in the hospital for several days.

  In the capital city, the prestigious Jiang family was bullied by everyone, and it's impossible for them to let things go easily. So, when someone came knocking on their door, that was a perfectly normal thing to happen.

  Listening to her good friend's words, Jiang Yu thought of her father's words and nodded in agreement, with a hint of discomfort on her face that quickly disappeared. She put on a perfect act, looking at her friend with some embarrassment and saying, "It was all my oversight, this schoolmate is really clever."

  "How much smarter she is, the smarter I am, and I'll twist her brain open." Upon hearing this, the girl seemed very dissatisfied, staring at Su Mo Ruo with a look of obvious disgust.

  Jiang Yu was gloating on the side, she knew Jiang Shi Yu's personality and temper very well, they were good friends who had grown up together since childhood. Normally, she was a person with a very explosive temper, but also someone who valued loyalty and justice. When she heard that Jiang Shi Yu had been bullied by someone, she immediately declared that she would severely teach Su Mo Ruo a lesson. At the time, it was also because she already knew about her father's plan, so she pulled Jiang Shi Yu back and didn't let her go find Su Mo Ruo for revenge right away. Originally, she had decided to leave this matter to be handled by her father, but unexpectedly, today Su Mo Ruo had delivered herself to their doorstep. Today, she hadn't expected that she would run into them on this road, and they were here waiting for her.

  Standing there, facing the few people who appeared in front of him, he could only sigh that enemies meet on a narrow road, such a big capital city, and yet they still managed to run into each other.

  "Are you here to find Song Xue Li?" She naturally knew that Song Xue Li's home was here, as they were all famous and noble families in the capital city, so it was impossible not to know where these people lived. Moreover, their homes were not far from Song Xue Li's, just a few hundred meters apart.

  She raised her head and gave Jiang Yu a cold glance, her gaze as icy as a knife, making people involuntarily shiver.

  "What are you doing?" Song Xue Li, who had experienced Su Mo Ruo's tactics before, couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy and shifted her gaze away, but her mouth was still tough enough to retort.

  With a fake smile, she stared at Jiang Yu, but suddenly, in a situation where everyone was caught off guard, with the speed of wind, "slap" a palm heavily landed on Jiang Yu's face.

  Everyone heard the sound and looked at Jiang Yu's face with a bright red palm print, suddenly they didn't speak. The principal, Jiang Shi Yu, who had just been stern, was stunned there, and when he looked at Su Mo Ruo again, his gaze seemed to have shrunk back in fear.

  "Like a group of crows, annoying me to death." He cast a disgusted glance at the two women in front of him, while the men behind them didn't even care.

  "You actually dare to hit me." With that, Su Mo Ruo was alone again. What kind of courage did she have, daring to be so arrogant and domineering?

  This is also something Jiang Yu had never understood about Su Mo Ruo. If he had, he probably wouldn't have had such thoughts. After all, the previous Su Mo Ruo was fearless and dared to fight anyone. If it were the previous Su Mo Ruo, Jiang Yu would probably have died countless times already.

  "It was you." Looking at Jiang Yu's incredulous gaze and the shocked gazes of the crowd, Su Mo's cool lips spat out a few more words.

  "You really aren't afraid of death." Jiang Shiyu pulled Jiang Yu and took a look at the five red palm prints on her pale face. They had a gathering with friends tonight, if they went like this, wouldn't it be embarrassing to let their friends see?

  The corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyebrows rose, "Sorry, a good dog doesn't block the way."

  "You..." Jiang Shiyu finally understood why Jiang Yu would fall into Su Mo's hands. This girl was really hateful, her fearless appearance could deceive many people.

  However, they had already investigated her family background, provoking her, and directly went to burn down her house with a fire.

  "You seem to have gotten some ideas that you shouldn't have." She narrowed her eyes as she looked at Jiang Shiyu, and although she couldn't guess what this girl was thinking in her heart, looking at her expression, her premonition strongly told her that she had gotten some bad ideas that she shouldn't have.

  Her body shuddered, and she looked up at Su Mo Ruo, but her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. There was a kind of magical power on this girl's body that made people tremble with fear, making her feel cold all over, and not daring to look directly at her.

  "You think you're so cool, huh? Believe me, I'll take care of you today." Behind Jiang Yu, a man who looked like a thug but was dressed in high-end clothes, probably around 22 years old, stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light.

  The man next to Jiang Shiyu also seemed to have discussed with the man beside Jiang Yu, and glanced at Su Moruo with a tone full of disdain: "It's just this dead girl, provoking Laozi to death."

  "Boom——" The three people around burst out laughing.

  Su Mo listened to these words, instead of getting angry, he burst out laughing. The smile on his face was like that of a messenger from the realm of Asura, making people's hair stand on end with fear.

  But at this moment, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan sped over in their direction. Originally, there were countless luxury cars coming and going on this road, so it wouldn't have caught anyone's attention, but unexpectedly, the two black Mercedes-Benz sedans stopped steadily right in front of everyone.

  "You said, if one day your family is destroyed and you are left with nothing, what would be the reason?" At this time, Su Mo walked slowly towards the man who spoke harsh words, his smile was calm, but his words made people's hair stand on end.

  "Miss, the old lady has invited you." Without adding Su Mo's title together with it, just because her boss had already treated Su Mo as his future successor, so she would unconditionally obey and from now on, she would treat Su Mo as her own future boss with respect.

  Everyone stared blankly at the woman who suddenly drove up in a black Mercedes-Benz, dressed in professional attire, but with an aura that made these wealthy young masters, who were used to seeing grand scenes, suspect that this woman was not simple. However, this woman showed such respect to Su Mo Ruo, leaving them all perplexed.

  She took a glance at Huiqin, and the image of her kindly gaze appeared in her mind. The old man had said that he would be staying here for a while longer, and she had promised to visit him when she had time. So when Huiqin showed up, she was invited to get in the car, and without any hesitation, she stepped into the back seat which Huiqin had opened for her.

  A black Mercedes sedan sped away from the scene, leaving behind four people who were stunned and unaware of what had happened.

  Sitting in the car, looking at the delicate scenery outside the window that kept sliding by, it seemed that she had found herself so quickly. That old lady's power didn't seem as easy to ignore as her aged appearance suggested.

  She had just returned to the capital, and today's visit to Song Xue Li's home was only a temporary decision, but it let them know that since her return to Beijing, there were already people paying attention to her.

  "Miss Su, the old lady has been very lonely lately. During the New Year's here, she was always alone..." As if sensing Su Mo Ruo's thoughts, Huiqin drove while turning her head to carefully explain a sentence.

  After hearing this, Sumo Rou faintly raised her head and glanced at Huiqin in the driver's seat.

  Although she was driving straight ahead, Huaiqin couldn't help but stiffen her back and feel a chill in her heart.

  The car arrived at the top of the mountain in front of a luxurious villa, and Huiqin slowed down the speed. The large iron gate slowly opened, and Huiqin drove the car in.

  The wide road at the entrance is paved with light brown small gravel, and there are black street lamps on both sides of the road, one every two steps. Behind the street lamps on both sides are lush clusters of flowers and trees, and among the lush flowers, grasses, and trees, there are pavilions, artificial hills, and flowing water, which look quite pleasing to the eye.

  "The boss has no children, and usually loves these flowers and plants, so in every courtyard of the boss's house, there are all kinds of flowers, grasses and trees cultivated." Huaiqin stopped the car steadily, looked up at Suomoruo with her eyes, found that her gaze was always looking outside the car, and gave an explanation.

  "Mm." He nodded and opened the car door to get out before Huaiqin could catch up.

  At this time, Mu Xinhua was already waiting at the gate. Beside her stood a woman who looked like she should be the housekeeper of the mansion, probably in her forties.

  "You finally have time to come see this old lady, huh?" Mu Xinhua exclaimed happily as she walked towards Su Mo, still muttering to herself.

  Su Mo listened, a smile spreading from the corner of her mouth. "I just got back and was planning to come see you in two days." This old lady, she felt a sense of closeness when looking at her, for no particular reason, but she just felt extremely close, like a grandmother.

  "Hehe, knowing you care makes me happy." Mu Xinhua took Su Moruo's hand and walked into the villa with a smile, saying as they went, "Let Yuan Shu make something delicious for you at noon today, anything you want to eat is fine."

  "Uh, okay." As she listened to the old lady's words, she felt the warm and soft hand holding her own, her body stiffened slightly, but on the surface, nothing was revealed.

  As if he hadn't noticed Su Mo's stiffness, he walked directly into the living room.

  Inside the villa, apart from Old Lady Mu Xin Hua, there was also a Huai Qin and a nanny named Yuan. Apart from these three people, there were no others. In such a large villa, it indeed felt empty with only three people living in it.

  She remembered the old lady saying that she had no children, and suddenly Su Mo felt a little pity for this old person. Even with countless wealth, what's the point if there is no one to accompany her? Her heart must be lonely too. With so much money, it still can't give her the warmth she wants in her heart.

  At dusk, the old lady was in high spirits. During dinner, she heard Huichen say that they had eaten a lot more than before. In the past, the old lady would basically put down her chopsticks after two dishes and not move again. But today, she was unusually happy and even ate a bowl of white rice.

  At mealtime, Su Mo could only lift her head and eat bitterly, because her bowl was already piled up like a mountain, as the old lady kept giving her dishes from time to time, fearing that she would not eat enough, from start to finish, there was no time to let Su Mo rest.

  With a full stomach, Huiqin arranged two soft sofas and a velvet table in the outer courtyard pavilion, on which were placed some small snacks. Muxinhua walked onto the sofa, dismissed Huiqin and Yuan Shu, leaving only Sumo and her alone in the pavilion.

  It's clear that the old lady wants to talk to her.

  As expected, after Huaiqin left for a while, Muxinhua looked at Sumoruo with affectionate eyes and asked, "Girl, can I ask you, why are you willing to accompany this old woman?"

  "For no reason, just willing." Su Mo was somewhat perplexed by this question.

  But Mu Xin Hua listened differently, nodded, and when looking at Su Mo Ruo, there was a hint of complexity in her eyes. She was his granddaughter, but she had been lonely and helpless all her life.

  "..." Looking at Mu Xinhua's complex eyes, Su Moruo felt a little puzzled in her heart, but she could sense that there were no fewer secrets on her body than hers.

  She waved her hand, also realizing her own loss of composure, and let out a deep sigh in her heart. So many years had passed, and she had waited voluntarily for so long. Why was she looking at this little girl like that? Moreover, her life wasn't much better than hers.

  "Never mind, it's all in the past."

  "In fact, people should look forward." Su Mo looked at Mu Xinhua, always feeling that there were too many things on her body, and in her eyes, it was complicated. At her age, why bother to think about so many things and add trouble to herself?

  Listening to Su Mo's words, Mu Xinhua fell into an unusual silence. After a while, he let out a deep sigh, "Yes, you're right, you can see through things clearly. I'm already at this age, why bother thinking about so many things?"

  "Mm." Knowing it was Mu Xinhua who had spoken up, he nodded and murmured a low "mm" in response.

  "You're always so brief with your words." Su Mo Ruo's habit of speaking little often made Mu Xin Hua feel somewhat disapproving, wanting to change her personality. After all, Su Mo Ruo was still young, yet she was so calm and quiet, not like the personality a girl of her age should have.

  “……”

  "Girl, do you know why I've found you to accompany this lonely old woman?" Mu Xinhua asked Su Moruo with a straight gaze.

  She shook her head, she really didn't know, from the first time they met, she felt that this old lady was inexplicable, but after further contact, she felt a mysterious aura on her body, which she couldn't penetrate.

  "The old woman is almost seventy years old, with no children, and has spent her whole life like this..."

  "But in my hands, I still have the company that I founded myself. My company has gone through the baptism of time and the devastation of war. Under me, there are countless old employees who have followed me all the way, they have dedicated their lives to the company without any intention of overstepping their bounds. This is what my wife is most grateful for and happiest about..."

  "But I have no children, and within the company, there is no one capable of taking over. This business is my life's work, my everything. I have no family, only this company has accompanied me through all these years, through thick and thin. Now, no one can inherit it. Can you understand how I feel?"

  Listening to these words, if you still can't guess what Mu Xinhua is going to do, then Su Moruo must be an idiot. "You may have found the wrong person." She didn't have the mind to help others with their business, she wasn't a saint, and she had many things of her own to attend to.

  Muxinhua also thought of the possibility of being rejected, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't give up. "I don't ask for anything else, I really just hope you can accept this group, even if you don't have time to deal with it normally, I still hope you can spare some time to take a look, this is my life's work..."

  "You can hand it over to your subordinates to handle." Sumojo refused without hesitation.

  Listening to this, Mu Xinhua slowly calmed down, sat up straight, but shook his head bitterly. "If there really is someone among these people who can take on the heavy responsibility, I wouldn't be so anxious either. But the key issue here is that no one can bear the weight, and if I randomly choose one of them, it won't convince everyone, but only possibly push the company to a more dangerous edge, trigger internal strife, which is the most fatal thing for a company."

  To say the least, these words are indeed not wrong, but Sumojo absolutely cannot go to help.

  Looking at Su Mo Ruo's nonchalant appearance, Mu Xin Hua was even more convinced of Su Mo Ruo. In this world, how many people can resist the temptation of wealth and power? But Su Mo Ruo, who is not yet twenty years old, has such courage and composure, which makes her look up to the girl in front of her even more.

  "It doesn't matter if you don't accept it now, I'll wait forever." These words were spoken with conviction, and Mu Xinhua's eyes shone with determination.

  She furrowed her brow, she and this old lady had only met a few times at most, why was she so confident that she could help manage a company?

  "We have no relation with each other." Su Mo said.

  Mu Xin Hua listened, but smiled and said, "We are like old times."

  "Is it worth giving me the business empire you've built with your life's blood just because we met before?" Just by looking at this villa, she could guess that the old man's identity was not ordinary, and his wealth was not small. Because she remembered, the old lady herself had said that she was only staying here for a few months because of some business, and yet she could stay in such a luxurious place, which made her wonder how much wealth the old lady had.

  "You're very clever, you can think of many things from a few things. Yes, I have a lot of wealth and my career is very successful. This time I came to the capital, just to find someone who can inherit my business. Don't ask me why, but I know you have the ability to take over my company. You're not simple, you're not just clever, you're not just a university student." These were her impressions of Su Mo Ruo after a short time, but she also felt surprised. She had seen many talented children, but Su Mo Ruo was the most outstanding among all the exceptional children she had met.

  "Actually, you might be completely mistaken." Su Mo Ruo replied naturally as he listened to the old lady's words.

  Shaking her head, she smiled and said: "I've always believed in my own judgment, you know? A successful person can't care less if their judgment is wrong or not. What they care about is what they think is right, and they should go all out to make it happen, do their best to make this correct decision big and glorious."

  "You've convinced me." The last sentence, a superior person indeed doesn't need to hesitate whether their decision is wrong or not, but instead they do their best with their own judgment and strive to develop it, making it bigger and stronger.

  Unexpectedly, Su Mo suddenly gave her such a sentence, and she was shocked in her heart. She was really more and more curious about what this little girl's brain had installed, why she could play cards so unreasonably, and how many people could surprise her were not many.

  And this girl looks like she's really suitable as her successor.

  "So I'll take it that you've agreed, right?"

  He picked up the glass of water on the desk and took a sip. "You can take it as I agreed, but there's one thing I need to say."

  "Uh-huh, you go ahead." Having managed to persuade this young girl to agree with him, Mu Xinhua was already quite pleased. At this moment, he also naturally nodded his head and assumed a listening pose, looking at Su Moruo.

  I am just a student.

  "I can arrange for someone to report work to you during your free time."

  "I may not have so much time to go to Hong Kong, I still have things to do here."

  "You can deal with Hong Kong matters when you have time, I'm still here and can help share some of the burden."

  Upon hearing this, Su Mo was stunned for a moment. The old lady's words were very clear: while she was still around, she could help out, but if she wasn't around anymore, there would be many things to deal with. However, looking at Mu Xinhua's eyes, she couldn't say a word.

  "Alright, I'll agree with you, but I don't want you to interfere in my affairs." This old man seemed to have already determined the relationship between them from the moment they met.

  At this moment, Muxinhua was overjoyed. The knot in her heart for many years was finally untied, and the huge stone that had been weighing on her mind also vanished suddenly. Both her body and mind were completely relaxed.

  "...I have another request." She didn't use her usual strong tone at work, but instead looked at Su Mo with eyes full of expectation.

  Such an old man was the one Su Mo Ruo couldn't bear to refuse. He nodded slightly and said, "Speak."

  "Can... can I be your granddaughter?" Mu Xinhua's eyes were somewhat uncertain, her voice trembling.

  She was slightly stunned, not expecting it to be just a request. She thought that apart from her adoptive mother, she didn't have any other relatives, and this old man had always given her a good impression, in her heart, she also respected him as her own elder. At this moment, when she heard her make the request, she didn't refuse, but instead fell silent for a moment before speaking in a very soft voice, as if a gentle breeze could blow it away, "Grandma..."

  "Good, good." For many years, she had never been so excited and thrilled. In her lifetime, she could also have a granddaughter of her own, the old lady's heart was overjoyed.

  Su Mo Ruo, as for agreeing to take over the company from the old man, she also had her own plans. She could have made it on her own with hard work and effort, but now that she's met Mu Xin Hua, who has a very good impression of her, she doesn't mind bringing her company along and growing together.

  Because Sumojo had already acknowledged the old lady as her grandmother, she also stayed overnight on this side. The next day, Huiqin stood at the door of Sumojo's bedroom, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Huiqin.

  "What are you doing standing here?"

  Actually, Huiqin arrived early this morning. It's already eight o'clock now. She came at six thirty and accompanied Muxinhua to stroll around the yard. Naturally, she also heard Old Lady talk about what happened last night. Now, Sumo is not only Muxinhua's granddaughter but also the successor of the Mu Group. In the future, she will be her boss. Today, she came over just to follow Muxinhua's order and report some company situations to her. "Miss, I'm here to tell you about our company situation."

  She took a glance outside the corridor and into the living room, where the old lady was sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking tea. "Mm," she said, before turning around and going back to her room.

  Huī qín also followed into the room, looking at the girl sitting on the sofa. That natural and effortless aura of a superior person was fully displayed at this moment, making her inwardly admire, "The old lady's vision is indeed not ordinary." She now somewhat involuntarily wanted to see what level this girl's abilities would take the company to.

  "Go ahead." He glanced at Huiqin and motioned for her to sit down and speak.

  Starting from this, Wei Qin appeared to be guarding the etiquette, not sitting down, picking up the file that had been held in her hand and opening it, putting it in front of Su Mo Ruo, speaking incessantly: "Our company was founded in 1927, mainly engaged in clothing, after 85 years began to enter the real estate industry, under the large department stores in various countries are not less than one hundred seats, similarly our Mu Shi Real Estate is also renowned nationwide..."

  As she listened to Huiqin's non-stop talking, Sumo suddenly realized that this was not an ordinary businessman. Such a career, the company has been established for so many years, can really withstand the test of "going through the baptism of war". It turned out that Mushi Fashion had a long-term cooperation with the military, providing military supplies and clothing from the Anti-Japanese War to the present. Similarly, Mushi's real estate company had also developed various buildings for the country several times. Such connections made Mushi even more unshakeable.

  But Su Mo didn't believe that a country could watch a businessman become so powerful without stopping him. Now, Mu Corporation has grown to this point, and from the data provided by Huiqin and her analysis, it seems that the country doesn't have any intention of stopping Mu Corporation at all. On the contrary, many times they have given Mu Corporation great convenience. It appears that Mu Xinhua's relationship with the people in power is not simple, and she has a very close relationship with the high-level officials.

  After chatting with Huiqin for almost an afternoon in the study, it was time for lunch. It wasn't until Huiqin reminded her that Suomoruo remembered to head down to the dining hall on the lower floor together.

  Inside the restaurant, Mu Xinhua was not impatient at all. She sat in her seat, smiling and waiting for them to come down and eat.

  After dinner, Su Mo Ruo brought up the topic of leaving. Mu Xin Hua didn't stop her, but only told her that there were many things to take care of at the company in Hong Kong. Now that she had found a successor for the company, she would return as soon as possible within these few days. Since this house was empty and no one lived here, it would be abandoned and fall into disrepair. So Mu Xin Hua told Su Mo Ruo to leave the house to her, letting her come live here in the future.

  Without shaking her head in refusal, this place she may not necessarily need to use, but perhaps there will be things that can be used. Since it has already been decided to take over the Mu Xin Hua's Mu Group, then refusing this villa would make her seem pretentious.

  Not having a car is really a troublesome thing, even if you have the ability to buy one, but Sumojo doesn't have a driver's license in this life, so it's unlikely that he can drive down the mountain directly.

  It was still Huiqin who drove that black Mercedes-Benz sedan and sent Sumo back to the city.

  Didn't let Huichen send her back to the community, but instead stopped at an intersection in the city and asked Huichen to help him get a driver's license.

  ……

  Huaiqin had just left when Song Xuelei called Sumo, mentioning yesterday's events in a veiled manner and expressing her apologies. Although Sumo heard vaguely, she could roughly guess that it was about yesterday's events. Song Mu didn't dare to mention it directly to her daughter, so she made an excuse, saying that after Song Xuelei returned, Song Mu worried about her daughter and forgot about Sumo, neglecting her and not letting the driver send her down the mountain. Now Song Mu remembered, so after Song Xuelei woke up, she had her call to apologize.

  Song Xue Li didn't know the inside story, so she really thought her mother felt guilty about this matter and called Su Mo Ruo to apologize.

  Su Mo listened, but knew that Song Mu was apologizing to her for what she said yesterday. Since Song Xue Li could call over today, it must be because she had spoken the truth about the Jiang family seeking revenge against her, and Song Mu had found out from those people.

  Thinking of the strong and resolute man I met at home during Chinese New Year, who exuded a powerful aura unique to military personnel, with eyes full of firmness. And thinking of the beautiful woman I met at the Song's house, elegant and refined, with eyes filled with love when looking at me. My heart skipped a beat, furrowed my brow to wipe away these thoughts, told Song Xue Li that it was nothing, chatted for another two sentences, calmed down Song Xue Li's uneasy heart before hanging up the phone.

  But unexpectedly, the phone rang again at this time. It was an unfamiliar number. Slowly pressing the answer key, there was a straightforward male voice inside, sounding serious and calm, "Is this Su Mo Ruo?"

  "Mm." The voice made her feel somewhat disgusted, so she just murmured a faint "mm" and waited for the person to continue speaking.

  "That side saw Su Mo was so cold, also obviously had dissatisfaction, the voice even colder and harder, 'Is that so? I am the vice president of Jinghua University. I don't know if you are currently in Jing City or not?'"

  "Anything going on?" A smile played on her lips, and there was a strong interest in her eyes. It seemed that Jiang's family had some influence, and surprisingly, the vice president of Jinghua University had called her.

  "Hmm, if you're in Beijing, then come visit our school." The male voice continued stiffly.

  "What if I said I wasn't there?" She wanted to hear how this man would respond.

  "...then you don't have to come either... when school starts, there's no need to come over." The male voice paused for a moment, seemingly stuck, and spoke in a stuttering tone.

  Upon hearing this, he took a deep breath and felt refreshed. His eyes seemed to smile but not quite, while his hand tightened its grip on the phone. It turned out that in reality, wealth and power always reign supreme over any reason, no matter how outstanding your abilities are; without wealth and power, you still count for nothing.

  "I don't know, Vice President, what I did wrong. You didn't give me a chance to explain myself and directly told me not to go back to school?" Thinking about Jiang Yu's situation, it seemed that when teaching her a lesson, the force used was a bit too light.

  The male voice on the other end paused slightly, perhaps not expecting Su Mo to be so calm. He had just told her not to come to class anymore, but instead of being taken aback, she responded smoothly and even addressed him by his three-character name, which he was very dissatisfied with. Many people knew that he had always wanted to get rid of the second character in his name, but over the years, the principal had been firmly seated in his position, making it impossible for him to touch. He harbored resentment in his heart, and normally, no one would dare address him like that in front of him. But today, this Su Mo was truly asking for death.

  He glanced at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa opposite him, and Su Mo's title for him had brought a lot of anger to his heart. Thinking about what happened last time, looking at the pile of cash in front of him, he felt as if he had been infused with great strength. "We received a report from a classmate that you have a bad temper and beat up several classmates so badly that they were hospitalized with serious injuries. After investigation, it was found to be true. Our Jinghua University is a first-class university in the country, and we absolutely cannot tolerate students like you ruining our school's century-old reputation..."

  Every word, every sentence, went into Su Mo's ears, making his expression even colder, with a hint of a smile but not quite, his voice firm, each word like a branding iron, once spoken, would never be taken back. "Rest assured, even if you invite me in the future, I won't come back... because... this school, I look down on it." After finishing speaking, he ruthlessly hung up the phone.

  On the other end of the phone, Vice Principal Jinghua smiled warmly as he looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa across from him. He walked over with a smile and sat down beside him on the adjacent sofa. "These days' students are really something else, daring to lay hands on Lian Qianjin! It's truly heartbreaking for me. How could our school have such an abominable student in this generation?"

  Jiang Hongkuan looked up and smiled at the vice president of Jinghua University, stretching out his hand to push the stacks of cash in front of him. "During my daughter Jiang Yu's time at Jinghua, she has indeed received your meticulous care, Vice President, and I am very grateful. However, as you said, if your school has students like Su Mo who are a discredit to the university, it's likely that the reputation built up over a hundred years will be ruined in an instant."

  The vice president of Jinghua University listened, nodded repeatedly, and even thought for a moment before nodding more vigorously, as if to tell Jiang Hongkuan that he felt what he said was extremely right.

  "Haha, Principal, this matter is settled. Jiang will host a banquet at Baiyuan Building and I'll invite you to attend, can you come over for a meal?" Jiang Hongkuan was indeed an old fox in the business world, smiling brightly as he stared at Vice Principal Jinghua, his voice clear and sincere.

  But the vice president of Beijing University only had eyes for that pile of money, no need to mention the specific amount, and what Jiang Hongkuan said about inviting him to dinner was secondary, giving him money and having a meal together was all there was to it, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

  Two accomplices in crime reached an agreement within the spacious office.
