Seeing that the storekeeper was staring at them in shock, Mu Siyin could not help but chuckle. “Hey, could you get a few things for us?”
Only then did the storekeeper come back to his senses. He looked at them with an embarrassed smile and said, “Sure. What do you guys need?”
Mu Siyin picked up a few things that she would usually get and a bouquet of purple chrysanthemums. Shi Beiyu paid for the items and carried them in his arms. Then, he held Mu Siyin’s hand as they walked out of the store.
The storekeeper thought to himself as he watched the two figures walk out the door. ‘They looked like they came out from a painting. I wonder how gorgeous their child would be if they were to have one in the future.’
Shi Beiyu and Mu Siyin walked to the cemetery. When they came to the tombstone of Mu Siyin’s mother, they saw that there was already a bouquet of exquisite and delicate white orchids.
Mu Siyin was stunned.
Shi Beiyu was also surprised as it was not even 8 a.m. yet. He thought that they were early but did not expect that someone had come earlier than them.
Looking at the white orchids, Mu Siyin was in shock.
She has seen this orchid twice a few years ago. This would be the third time. However, she never saw a single person on her visits.
When Shi Beiyu saw Mu Siyin’s brows knitted together, he could not help but ask, “Have you seen it before?”
Mu Siyin would never hide anything from Shi Beiyu. So, she looked at him and said, “I have seen it twice before, but it was a long time ago. I didn’t expect to see it again today.”
Shi Beiyu pondered for a moment before replying, “Your mother had a lot of friends before she passed away. It’s hard to know who came to visit her.”
Upon hearing that, Mu Siyin nodded lightly and bent over to place the purple chrysanthemum next to the orchid.
Mu Siyin did not stay at the cemetery for too long. After they paid a visit to her mother, she turned and left with Shi Beiyu.
While holding Mu Siyin’s hand, Shi Beiyu questioned her suddenly. “Do you come here alone every year?”
When Mu Siyin heard that, she smiled sarcastically. “Yeah, they never came.”
Shi Beiyu frowned slightly. “What about the Lu Family? Did they…”
Mu Siyin lowered her eyes gloomily and said with a soft voice, “On the day my mother was buried, my father brought Li Tongzhi and Mu Xingyu into the Mu family. He even threw away all my mother’s belongings.
“When my grandfather found out about it, he went to the house and had a big fight with them. Since then, the Lu and Mu family have never been in contact.
“Since my mother is buried in the Mu family’s cemetery, it is natural that the Lu family doesn’t come to visit her.”
When Shi Beiyu heard that, he narrowed his eyes slightly and paused for a while before he stopped Mu Siyin.
Mu Siyin looked at him in confusion. “What’s the matter?”
Shi Beiyu said, “The Mu Corporation was founded by your mother and the Lu family, but the Mu family is in control of it now. Don’t you want to get it back?”
Upon hearing that, Mu Siyin clenched both her hands into a fist and said in a deep voice, “I do! Back then… I was stupid. But I won’t be again. After completing Mrs. Laura’s order, I will get back everything that belongs to me!”
The corners of Shi Beiyu’s lips lifted slightly. “As long as you want to get it back, I will help you.”
Mu Siyin was touched by Shi Beiyu’s words. She stared at him for a while and uttered, “Thank you.”
There were a thousand words she wanted to say to him, but at that moment, only those words could represent her feelings.
Shi Beiyu stared at her in displease and said, “Don’t ever thank me again in the future.”
