Chapter 347: Chapter 347 Mo Shaoyun’s Reason_1

The matters of Sunset Town have finally come to a conclusion.

The Mu family has changed leadership, the Shu and Qiu families have been eradicated, and the outsider Eighth Master is nowhere to be found.

Now, all of the Medicine Mountain in Sunset Town is in the hands of Mu Cheng. After a round of consolidation, they have been united into one.

Since the matters in Tiandu aren’t resolved yet, Zhang Xian didn’t stay in Sunset Town for long. After consolidating Medicine Mountain, he took a large amount of medicinal herbs and went back to Tiandu with Dong Qian, Fu Meiting, and Dong Qian.

At this moment, Mu Cheng is the only person left in the large Mu family mansion.

Staring at the spacious living room, she was a bit dazed. The bustle of the old days suddenly replaced by tranquility left her somewhat disoriented.

Zhang Xian, Dong Qian, Fu Meiting, and Duan Hong left not long ago, and she already started to miss them.

Lying on the sofa, Mu Cheng stared blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

She was contemplating whether Duan Hong, Fu Meiting, and Dong Qian accompanying Zhang Xian was worth it and if this was right or wrong. However, one thing was certain, they must be very happy now.

She has realized this deeply now. Zhang Xian, Duan Hong, Dong Qian, and Fu Meiting are one family and they shouldn’t easily part.

"Ah, I’d better stabilize things here quickly! Once everything is handled properly, I will go find them. Being here alone is too boring," Mu Cheng thought to herself.

Having spent some time together, although often angered by Zhang Xian almost to the point of vomiting blood, she felt very happy and did not want this lifestyle to leave her.

If she doesn’t go to Tiandu to find Zhang Xian and the others, then she would remain here alone, silently guarding Medicine Mountain. This is not the life she wants.

"Ding dong..."

Suddenly, a ringtone interrupted Mu Cheng’s contemplation.

She took out her phone and answered cheerfully, "Qingqing, why are you calling your sister today?"

"Sister, how are things on your end?"

Mu Cheng said, "It’s all resolved! Zhang Xian and the others have gone back."

"Ah? They’ve already returned?"

Mu Cheng said, "They just left not long ago. What? That bastard Zhang Xian didn’t call you?"

"He didn’t even fart! He only sent me a text during the New Year since last year’s end. It nearly pissed me to death."

Mu Cheng said, "Really? Is he really that heartless?"

"Absolutely that heartless. I regret it now. I shouldn’t have done what I did. That goddamn Zhang Xian, turns out he really can’t be relied on."

"Could it be that bad?" Mu Cheng said, "But Zhang Xian was not lonely at all with Dong Qian, Fu Meiting, and Duan Hong accompanying him here. It’s quite normal for him to forget about you."

"Ah... sister, what should I do?"

Mu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Depends on what you think! Who told you to be so silly and go over there? Why didn’t Mo Shaoyun do the same as you?"

"But... but I... I really like Zhang Xian!"

Mu Cheng said, "Shouldn’t Mo Shaoyun also like Zhang Xian? Did she come over? You should maintain an observant attitude towards such matters and make a decision only when you’re sure it’s feasible."

"They... They just left?"

Mu Cheng said, "Yep, it’s only been a few hours. They’ll probably arrive in three or four days."

"Oh! Alright then, I’ll call you again when I’m free. I have to make a phone call to discuss with Elder Sister Shaoyun and see what she thinks."

Mu Cheng said, "Okay, up to you. You stopped needing me as soon as you got Zhang Xian, I’m already used to it now. Sigh, women are like water, once they flow away, they never turn back!"

"Sister, what are you talking about? I’ve never been like this!"

Mu Cheng said, "No? Didn’t you call me every time because of Zhang Xian? It makes me feel like a spy."

...

In Yanjing, at Tiannan Group headquarters, President’s office.

Mo Shaoyun leaned back on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee, silently staring at the sky through the window, falling into deep thought.

Several months have passed, and she feels as if she has been forgotten. That bastard Zhang Xian didn’t even make a single call. Is it over between them just like that?

She has no pressure now. Her grandfather is no longer pushing her, and he has restored her position in the Tiannan Group, hence she has no reason to go back to the past.

"Shaoyun, you’re daydreaming again?"

Xiao Nan walked into the office, frowning, and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Mo Shaoyun turned her head, "Sister Nan, what do you mean? I’m fine here. What do I want?"

"Are you really fine?"

Xiao Nan looked at Mo Shaoyun and asked, "Have you not looked in a mirror for months, or are you just absent-minded when you do? Look at yourself, you’ve become so haggard. Honestly, I feel heartbroken seeing you like this. Where is the spirited young woman you once were? Where is your tough female demeanor? You’ve changed too much."

Mo Shaoyun said, "I... have I?"

"Don’t you think so?" Xiao Nan said, "I initially thought you’d get better after some time, so I didn’t say anything and took care of the company’s affairs for you. But after a good while, you’re still stuck in those feelings. I want to understand what you’re truly thinking. Do you want to continue this torture with Zhang Xian?"

"I..." Mo Shaoyun didn’t know how to reply and hadn’t realized her own state.

The current her kept deliberating on what to do. Just like today, she would continue this contemplation tomorrow, this seemed to be the only issue left in her life.

Over the past few months, she had contemplated countless outcomes. However, she had dismissed each result just as it emerged. Going back and forth like this, she was still caught in the vortex of uncertainty.

Xiao Nan asked, "What’s up? Haven’t you made up your mind yet?"

Mo Shaoyun shook her head, "Sister Nan, stop asking, I really don’t know what to do."

Xiao Nan suggested, "Alright, let’s take a step back. If you’re unsure about being with Zhang Xian, what about returning to Tiandu? At least there, you won’t feel as lost as you do now."

Mo Shaoyun turned her head, "I’m not going."

Xiao Nan knew Mo Shaoyun’s stubborn character, always bearing hardship just to save face, even in matters of love, "What if I gave you a reason?"

"What reason?" Mo Shaoyun’s eyes lit up.

Xiao Nan looked at Mo Shaoyun with a playful grin, "Didn’t you just say that you didn’t want to go?"

"I..."

Mo Shaoyun was a bit embarrassed, "I... did I say I didn’t want to go? I’m just... just lacking a reason, right? I wouldn’t want Zhang Xian to know that I can’t live without him."

"At this rate, you do seem to be on the edge."

Xiao Nan sighed, "We have invested in Zhang Xian’s Lingxiao Villa, and Zhang Xian had originally promised to give it to you. So our plan is..."

Mo Shaoyun interrupted, "Sister Nan, it... it doesn’t seem right to do it this way?"

Xiao Nan retorted, "What’s not right? We’re businesswomen, if we don’t focus on profit, then what’s the point of doing business? We’re just going over there to manage Lingxiao Villa."

"Alright, I will go. I will take control of Lingxiao Villa." Mo Shaoyun thought for a second and added, "Zhang Xian mentioned last time that we are not the only ones who invested in Lingxiao Villa, right? I have no problem with Qianqian being involved, but I don’t like Fu Meiting. This time I want total control of Lingxiao Villa."

Xiao Nan chuckled, "Alright, I’ll head to finance to get some money out. We need to fully fund Lingxiao Villa."

Mo Shaoyun nodded, her whole demeanour changed. Her sparkle was back.

Even though she still looked a bit worn out, her dark, shiny eyes were filled with determination, glowing like two little light bulbs.

Now, she could finally go to Tiandu.

"Ding-a-ling-ling..."

The ring of her cell phone interrupted Mo Shaoyun’s joy.

She was startled, picked up her phone and answered, "Qingqing, what made you want to call me? I asked you to come over and you refused, but you always call."

"Hehe, Sister Shaoyun, I haven’t spent time with my parents in years. Now that I’ve finally come back, I have to stay for a few days, right?"

Mo Shaoyun asked, "Do you need something from me?"

"Sister Shaoyun, Zhang Xian is returning to Tiandu. He should be there in three days. I want to know if you’re going too."

Mo Shaoyun asked, "Do you want to go?"

"I... kind of want to. Now with Zhang Xian, Qianqian, Fu Meiting, and Elder Sister Hong all together, if we don’t go there, Zhang Xian will certainly forget about us. I don’t want to lose this battle."

Mo Shaoyun replied, "Then let’s go! Lingxiao Villa is almost completed, I was planning to go there anyway."

"Ah... Sister Shaoyun, you’re going too? That’s great!"

Mo Shaoyun gave a cold smile, "Mm, Qingqing, you’re right. We can’t lose this battle. We’ll keep an eye on them, no matter the outcome."

"Uh... I was just speaking casually. As you know, who knows what Zhang Xian will do. It’s likely we’ll all be in this together, so there’s no such thing as winning or losing, right?"

Mo Shaoyun agreed, "Exactly. But things aren’t over yet, no one can guess the outcome, there might be some change."

"Mm, I’ll leave tomorrow, and I should be there the day after."

Mo Shaoyun replied, "I’ll be longer, about three days. You go first, sort out the living arrangements."

...

The climate in Tiandu is mostly dry, with long winters and short summers. It was only the beginning of April, but the temperature was already starting to rise, with many people on the streets wearing light clothing.

Zhang Xian was driving his BMW on the streets, grinning, "Tiandu is still the best."

"Mm, the weather in Tiandu is nice." Dong Qian nodded.

Fu Meiting looked out the window with furrowed brows, "We haven’t been here for a while. I have no idea how things are going."

Zhang Xian knew what Fu Meiting was referring to, and decided not to comment.

The reason he had hurried back from Sunset Town was because of the situation in Tiandu. There had to be a showdown between him and Xie Wuming.

"Starting to get a bit hot here." Duan Hong suddenly mentioned, "I’m even wearing three layers!"

Zhang Xian chuckled, "If you’re hot, take some off. Let me feast my eyes."

Fu Meiting snorted, "Stop trying to act suave. It’s not like you haven’t seen it before. You’ve certainly investigated thoroughly, even when she wasn’t wearing anything."

Duan Hong was speechless; Fu Meiting could really floor people with her words. Couldn’t she rein it in a little?

"Anyway... I’ll just give Sister Yulan a call."

Zhang Xian smiled, took out his phone, dialed Wen Yulan’s number and cheerfully said, "Sister Yulan, have you missed me? I’ve been going crazy missing you!"
