Chapter 770 You Really Know Mu Sijue

The sum of a thousand dollars could be converted to thousands of yuan in the country.

Not to mention going back to the old house of the Kang family from the airport, it was not a problem for Mumu to take a detour around City A.

However, this little guy should have no idea about money. He just wanted to see Daddy. He was already very pleased that the driver not only didn’t sell him but also sent him home.

For him, this kind of pleasure might be worth far more than 1,000 dollars.

Xu Youning squatted down, looked at the innocent child, and said, “The driver you met this time is a good person, but it may not be so the next time. Since you came back, you can’t run wild anymore. Do you understand?”

He didn’t fully understand, and before he could nod, Kang Ruicheng had said coldly, “No next time. I will ask someone to send him back to the United States tomorrow!”

Mumu pouted and fell straight into Xu Youning’s arms as if he had been enchanted. He asked for her help in a childish voice, “Auntie Youning, I like to be with you. I want to see you every day. Don’t let me go back to America, okay?”

“Of course, it’s okay.” Xu Youning rubbed Mumu’s hair. “Didn’t you say that American food was not delicious? There’s a lot of delicious food here. I’ll take you out some time. We’ll eat all over the city!”

The little boy’s eyes lit up, and he kept nodding.

Kang Ruicheng might have graduated with a major in Disappointing Others. When Xu Youning and Mumu were in high spirits, he said coldly again, “I haven’t allowed...”

“Daddy!” Mumu interrupted Kang Ruicheng, and his starry eyes twinkled. “Would you like to go with us? I have money, and it’s my treat!” Then he took out a big stack of dollars from his backpack.

Kang Ruicheng stared at the money in Mumu’s hand and frowned. “Did you open the safe?”

Mumu shrank back into Xu Youning’s arms and said innocently, “The password you set is too simple...”

For the first time, Kang Ruicheng had a headache.

Xu Youning couldn’t help laughing and kissed Mumu hard on the face.

“This little guy is so cute!”

The little guy also kissed Xu Youning back and whispered in her ear, “You’re my favorite among all the girls!”

“Hmm?” Xu Youning doubted, “There are so many girls as beautiful as dolls in your kindergarten. Don’t you like them?”

“They are all stupid, and they are not as beautiful as you.” The little guy emphasized shrewdly, “I like girls such as you!”

In Xu Youning’s mind, only those teenage girls, wearing school uniforms and had plump and youthful faces, could be called girls. She was getting too old to be called a girl.

However, this little boy, who was less than five years old, actually spoke in a childish tone and made her heart beat fast.

When the little boy grew up, he would definitely become a devastatingly charming man.

Looking at Xu Youning’s relaxed and bright smile, Kang Ruicheng suddenly realized that after the death of her grandmother, perhaps Xu Youning was defenseless only in the face of Mumu.

If Mumu stayed, he might be able to get closer to Xu Youning.

“Mumu.” Kang Ruicheng suddenly called the little boy.

Mumu took a look at Kang Ruicheng and decisively covered his mouth with his hands. His eyes were wide open. “Hmmm...”

Finding that he couldn’t speak clearly, he realized that he had covered the wrong place. He removed his hands and turned to cover his ears, shouting, “I won’t listen to you. I don’t want to go back to America! I don’t want to go back to America!” Then he turned around, fell into Xu Youning’s arms again, and cried, “Auntie Youning, save me. I don’t want to go back to America. Uhhhh—”

Xu Youning dearly hugged the little guy who was about to cry. While comforting him, she asked Kang Ruicheng in confusion, “Why do you have to ask Mumu to go back to America?”

“...” After thinking for a while, Kang Ruicheng’s tone finally became less scary. “Mumu, go upstairs with Uncle Ah Jin. I have something to say to Auntie Youning.”

Mumu appeared to be worry and anxious. He pouted and clutched the corner of Xu Youning’s clothes, unwilling to release her.

“Mumu, be a good boy.” Xu Youning touched his head and coaxed him. “You go upstairs with Uncle Ah Jin first. I’ll go to you later.”

With Xu Youning’s promise, Mumu was finally relieved. He took Ah Jin’s hand and went upstairs while frequently looking back.

When his figure disappeared from the stairway, Kang Ruicheng finally said, “America is safer than City A.”

“Not necessarily.” Xu Youning disagreed. “Although you’ve arranged people in America, you are not there. If something terrible happens to Mumu, you can’t react immediately. If Mumu stays, won’t you be more able to keep him safe better than your followers?”

Kang Ruicheng stared at Xu Youning. “Haven’t you ever thought about Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan?”

Xu Youning actually didn’t think about them, and she didn’t understand why Kang Ruicheng suddenly mentioned them.

After thinking for a while, Xu Youning finally understood. “Are you worried that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue will hurt Mumu?”

Kang Ruicheng snorted coldly. “Mumu is my only weakness. Do you think that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue will let Mumu go?”

“You really... don’t know your opponents at all.” Xu Youning said speechlessly, “Lu Boyan is now a father, and it’s impossible for him to use a child to threaten you. As for Mu Sijue, he won’t do such a thing. Mu Sijue is different from your previous opponents.”

Everyone knew that Mu Sijue was indifferent and merciless.

However, Mu Sijue also had his own rule that unless that person really deserved to die, Mu Sijue would never hurt the old and the young.

All his men obeyed this rule, and no one dared to challenge the rule, even if they were at a disadvantage.

Because of that, Xu Youning was sure that the person who had killed her grandma was not Mu Sijue.

Mumu was just a child. Even if he had a blood relationship with Kang Ruicheng, Mu Sijue would not hurt him.

Kang Ruicheng didn’t feel relieved that Mumu was out of danger. Instead, his expression became more gloomy and darker. “You really know Mu Sijue.”

Xu Youning was stunned and said sarcastically, “It’s all thanks to you.”

Thanks to Kang Ruicheng sending her to Mu Sijue, she knew Mu Sijue so well and even fell in love with him.

Kang Ruicheng’s face suddenly darkened. “You actually think that Mu Sijue is kind! I have so many opponents, and Mu Sijue is the cruelest one.”

“...” Xu Youning didn’t want to argue with Kang Ruicheng about that, so she compromised. “I will protect Mumu. Even if Mu Sijue really wants to hurt Mumu, he won’t dare to do anything to Mumu if I ask Jian’an for help.”

“Why are you so nice to Mumu?” Kang Ruicheng suddenly asked.

“Mumu is so adorable,” Xu Youning said without hesitation, “that anyone will be nice to such a lovely child.”

That was not the answer Kang Ruicheng wanted.

Kang Ruicheng did not give up and continued to ask, “Is that the only reason?”

Xu Youning was amused and asked, “Does it need any other reason?”

After all, this was an era when one could “do evil things with a cute face”. It was enough for Mumu to have two advantages: smart and cute.

If he could have all kinds of advantages, then the pressure on the children of the same age would be too great.

That’s right. Xu Youning’s logic was so weird that she didn’t hear Kang Ruicheng’s hint.

Kang Ruicheng couldn’t express himself explicitly, so he could only give up and say, “Mumu can stay here first.”

Xu Youning was happier than Mumu, so she immediately ran to find Mumu.

Kang Ruicheng looked at her back for a long time before he slowly looked away.

It didn’t matter if Xu Youning didn’t understand what he meant now.

Mumu was here, and with this little guy’s intelligence and smartness, he would have plenty of opportunities to contact Xu Youning in the future.

As the saying goes, there was a long way to go.

On the second floor.

Mumu and Ah Jin were staying in the room. As soon as he saw Xu Youning, Mumu rushed to her and asked, “Auntie Youning, does Daddy still want me to go back to America?”

Xu Youning slightly touched his nose and said with a smile, “He allowed you to stay!”

“Really!?”

Mumu jumped up happily, holding Xu Youning’s legs and jumping up and down. “Thank you, Auntie Youning! I knew you could convince Daddy. I love you!”

Xu Youning didn’t expect that the little guy would be so happy. When she was about to say something, Mumu rubbed himself against her legs again and said, “I can finally stay with you. I’m so happy.”

In an instant, Xu Youning’s heart greatly softened.

There was no doubt that when she left this place in the future, the person she would be most reluctant to part with would be this little boy.

However, that topic was for another day.

Xu Youning picked up Mumu and said, “I’m also very happy.”

Mumu smiled, hugged Xu Youning’s neck, and rested his head on her shoulder. His happiness almost spilled over his eyes.

After a while, Mumu raised his head and whispered in Xu Youning’s ear, “Auntie Youning, I’ll tell you a secret—I think you’re my mommy.”

Mumu had only seen photos of his biological mommy, so he did not have a vivid impression of her.

It was just a photo. No matter how long he stared at it, his mommy would not smile at him like Xu Youning. Also, she would not take him out for fun, nor would she give him a hug when he was unhappy.

So in his mind, Xu Youning was more like his mommy.

Xu Youning patted Mumu’s head.

Although she was not Mumu’s biological mommy, as long as she could see him, she was willing to take care of him as her own child.

Looking at the intimacy between Xu Youning and Mumu, Ah Jin’s expression became somewhat obscure.

He also liked Mumu very much, but he didn’t want Xu Youning to be Mumu’s mommy at all.

In the afternoon, when Ah Jin was about to have dinner, he suddenly received a secret message. He dialed Mu Sijue’s number with doubts.

Yes, he was on Mu Sijue’s side, but he had been sent to work undercover beside Kang Ruicheng a long time ago.

Kang Ruicheng was naturally suspicious and never trusted anyone easily. He had done a lot of things for Kang Ruicheng, but recently, he had just won Kang Ruicheng’s trust and was able to stay with him.

Before coming to City A, he didn’t even know that Kang Ruicheng had sent the famous Xu Youning to work undercover around Mu Sijue, which could be regarded as a major mistake in his work.

However, Mu Sijue was greatly concerned about his safety. Unless there was something important, Mu Sijue would not take the initiative to contact him.

What was the reason for Mu Sijue’s call this time?

The call was quickly picked up. Ah Jin called out, “Seventh Brother.”

Mu Sijue replied, “Yeah.”

Ah Jin waited for a long time, but it was then silent all the time. He couldn’t help asking in confusion, “Seventh Brother, do you have something to tell me?”

“Yes.” For the first time, Mu Sijue spoke to his follower in such a hesitant tone. “Have you seen Xu Youning these days?”

Ah Jin was stunned and said, “Yes.”

Mu Sijue took a deep drag on the cigarette and asked slowly, “How is she?”
