Chapter 135 A Surprise

Mu Xia really liked Iris—an active girl who treated everyone sincerely. She did not ask further but just simply acknowledged her text message, knowing that Iris wanted to keep her in suspense. After washing up, she went downstairs calmly.

She was guessing Situ Hai would be waiting for her since the location of the shoot was at Situ Group.

Just as she had expected, the moment she walked into the living room, Situ Hai was already there, reading newspaper on the couch.

Alerted by the footsteps, Situ Hai turned his head, all smiles. "My darling daughter is up? Midnight Coffee Café contacted me an hour ago to ask for my permission to use our premises as a filming set. Fortunately for them, it's not a hectic period at the office, so I gave them the green light. I'll go to the company with you and take a look at how the shoot will be done."

Mu Xia responded obediently with a sweet smile, "Sure."

She scanned the living room and Mu Xinyue was nowhere to be seen. "Where's Aunt Xinyue?"

"Oh… She's been learning how to do business with me over the years. Now that I'm accompanying you to the shoot today, I've deputized her to monitor some projects."

"She… as your deputy? Dad, I don't know if I should say this…" Mu Xia said with a hint of dread.

"Go ahead." He looked at her with a gentle gaze.

Mu Xia shared, "When I was in the countryside, I've seen many women betrayed their men after having a taste of wealth and power. Dad, you should take note of these things and don't hand over all of your business to others. I'm not doubtful of Aunt Xinyue's character, but isn't it safer to remain wary than to be sorry later? What do you think?"

Situ Hai waved his hand. "Rest assured that your Aunt Xinyue only has a soft spot for me. Whatever you've said won't happen. I know what to do. Don't worry about these things."

Even though Situ Hai said so verbally, he was reminding himself deep down to be more vigilant.

「It's funny how a gullible girl like Xia can think of such things whereas I've not paid attention to it. Perhaps it's time to watch out for Xinyue.」

"That's great." Mu Xia pretended not to take the matter to heart.

However, she knew that her analogy would sow a seed of suspicion in Situ Hai's heart as he had always been a skeptical person. With this seemingly unintentional reminder, Mu Xia believed that Situ Hai would start to be more cautious around Mu Xinyue.

When the time is right, Mu Xia would expose the love affairs between Mu Xinyue and Jiang Fuming and send the Situ family into a frenzy of rage.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. Young Master Ye suggested for me to acquire some knowledge in business if I were to be his girlfriend. Do you…"

"That's easy!" Situ Hai interrupted her, "Come with me to the company once you're done shooting for Midnight Coffee Café. As his fiancée, you should indeed learn about trading. This will equip you to help him out in the future."

At that moment, Situ Hai had completely forgotten how much he loathed for women to get involved in business back then.

Marrying any ordinary rich man was incomparable to marrying into the Ye family. Though Situ Hai had suspected something between Mu Xia and Ye Sijue, he never took it seriously. It was something he could only dream. Thinking that the faint thought in the past could now become his dream come true made him unbelievably happy.

Needless to say, learning something other girls don't know will give Mu Xia that added value and advantage to be married into Ye family, an extraordinary family.

In his excitement, he was tremendously satisfied with his daughter, Mu Xia.

He then thought about Mu Wanyue. That woman was so strict. She never consumed any salty or oily food, and we've only slept together once from the day we got married till the day she died. Yet, she's given me such a pleasant surprise, my good-natured daughter.
