Chapter 274: Yiru And I Have Waited For A Long Time

Not long had pa.s.sed before Mu Siyin’s uncle and auntie, Lu Yibin and Fang s.h.i.+qing returned home.

They were surprised to see Mu Siyin.

“When did you come back, Yinyin?” Lu Yibin walked up to her happily.

Mu Siyin greeted them politely. “I came back in the afternoon, Uncle and Auntie.”

Fang s.h.i.+qing walked up to her and said kindly, “Girl, you must come back and visit us more often when you’re free. Otherwise, it would be hard for Uncle and Auntie to see you with our busy schedule.”

Mu Siyin nodded with a smile. “I will, Auntie.”

Lu Yibin looked around, but Lu Jingchen was nowhere to be seen. He frowned and asked, “Why isn’t that fella, Jingchen, back?”

Fang s.h.i.+qing wondered about it too. “He mentioned earlier this morning that he would be back tonight.”

Old Master Lu instantly said, “Since Yinyin is finally back, get him home this instance and have dinner together.”

Fang s.h.i.+qing nodded. “I’ll call him now.”

When Mu Siyin saw that, she hurriedly went forward to stop Fang s.h.i.+qing. Then, she said with a smile, “Cuz has been pretty busy, Auntie, so you don’t have to call him home. We see each other very often and even had lunch together this afternoon. It doesn’t matter if he comes back or not.”

Fang s.h.i.+qing was surprised. “You guys had lunch together this afternoon?”

“Yeah.”

“Where did he go after that?”

Mu Siyin hesitated for a while, torn at what to say.

Her cousin must be drinking somewhere at this hour.

“He didn’t come back with me because his friend asked him out, so there’s no need to call him. He won’t be able to come home even if you call him.”

Upon hearing that, Fang s.h.i.+qing could not help but look at Old Master Lu.

Old Master Lu felt helpless. “Don’t worry about him, then.”

…

s.h.i.+ Beiyu did not bother to get off work early as he knew that Mu Siyin would be with the Lu family for the night.

Since he had no one to accompany him at home, it would be better to do more work at the company instead.

Lately, he had been getting off work early, which had shocked everyone in the secretary room. They thought that their president had changed, so the majority of them started to slack off. As soon as s.h.i.+ Beiyu left the company, those who had nothing to do would follow behind.

However, they had waited for quite some time today, yet s.h.i.+ Beiyu was still in his office. Those that wanted to get off work early could only be patient and continue working.

The clock finally struck 8:00 p.m.

Yan Ze could only enter the office and said, “It’s time to get off work, President.”

s.h.i.+ Beiyu, who was at his desk then lifted his gaze to check the time. He was startled for a moment before saying, “Half an hour more.”

“Okay.”

Half an hour later, s.h.i.+ Beiyu finally walked out of his office.

Yan Ze hurriedly kept up.

The moment they left, the people in the secretary’s room began to pack their things and followed suit too. The scene was hilarious.

s.h.i.+ Beiyu used to be a well-known workaholic and was very strict with his subordinates. Hence, no one dared to slack and get off work early if he did not leave.

Yan Ze knew that Mu Siyin had gone to meet her friends tonight. So when they got in the car, he asked instinctively, “Young Master, do we need to pick up Miss Mu?

After a short pause, s.h.i.+ Beiyu replied softly, “No need.”

Although Yan Ze was curious, he did not dare to ask more. He nodded with an “okay” and started the engine.

It was already 9:00 p.m. by the time they arrived at the villa.

Just as he entered the villa, he heard voices coming from the living room.

“Ah Yu must be back.”

It was Mother s.h.i.+.

s.h.i.+ Beiyu immediately frowned. ‘What is mother doing here at such a late hour?’

Before he could even figure it out, Mother s.h.i.+ had walked out in a dark blue cheongsam with a smile on her face. The one beside her turned out to be… Yue Yiru.

s.h.i.+ Beiyu’s brow furrowed deeper when he saw Yue Yiru here.

Seeing him standing rooted on the ground, Mother s.h.i.+ pulled Yue Yiru forward with a smile. “You’re finally back, Ah Yu. Yiru and I have been waiting for a long time.”
