Chapter 315: Revised: Chapter 315 Attitude Change

“Alright! We’ll get in touch another day!” Sunx Shangqiang took out a gold-plated name card and handed it to Wu Xiaoyu, saying respectfully.

When Mu Feiyan saw Wu Xiaoyu accept Sunx Shangqiang’s card, she felt a bit uneasy inside. Is he really going to help Sunx Qianjin treat his illness?

Due to the interruption by Sunx Shangqiang and his sister, Mu Feiyan lost interest in continuing to shop and led Wu Xiaoyu and Li Qianqian back home.

Back home, Mu Zhuangfei had not yet returned from work. Mu Feiyan pulled Li Qianqian upstairs to change clothes, leaving Wu Xiaoyu alone, sitting awkwardly and feeling lonely in the living room.

Just as he was about to turn on the TV, he saw Jiang Yun coming down the stairs, with a smile much more enthusiastic than when Wu Xiaoyu had arrived in the morning.

“Xiaoyu, you’re back? That little Fei, coming back home without even letting me know!” Jiang Yun walked down while smiling and complaining.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaoyu quickly stood up and explained apologetically, “We just got back. We were afraid of disturbing you, so we didn’t come to greet you.”

Jiang Yun walked over to him, patted his shoulder to signal him to sit down, and she sat across from Wu Xiaoyu, saying warmly, “What’s all this about disturbing? Don’t be so polite. Just make yourself at home!”

Her change in attitude made Wu Xiaoyu feel faintly uneasy. I didn’t do anything special today, did I?

“The old man heard you were in the city and insisted on coming to see you,” Jiang Yun said while observing Wu Xiaoyu and smiling politely.

Mu Elder wants to see me? Does he feel unwell again? Or does he want me to help his old subordinates?

Seeing that Wu Xiaoyu wasn’t awestruck by the news that Elder Mu wanted to meet him, Jiang Yun felt even more incredulous.

Though Wu Xiaoyu had impressive medical skills, he grew up in a rural area and likely hadn’t met many notable people. How did he develop such a calm demeanor at a young age? He indeed seemed mature for his age.

No wonder when I mentioned Wu Xiaoyu to the old man on the phone, he got so excited. It looks like this kid indeed has something special about him.

Just as she was marveling at Wu Xiaoyu, he humbly smiled and said, “If Elder Mu has something to discuss, I should be the one to visit him. How could I trouble an elder to come see me?”

Jiang Yun quickly responded, “That’s what I told the old man too. He’s getting old and shouldn’t be moving around too much, lest he gets hurt!”

Although Wu Xiaoyu didn’t know why Jiang Yun’s attitude towards him had changed so much, he still conversed with her politely and courteously.

Just when Jiang Yun felt she had laid enough groundwork to make her request, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Jiang Yun looked at the clock, knowing it was probably Mu Zhuangfei coming back from work, and a hint of disappointment flashed on her face.

Aunt Wang, hearing the doorbell, was about to rush out to open the door, but Jiang Yun had already reached the door and, as expected, found Mu Zhuangfei there.

Taking the briefcase from Mu Zhuangfei, Jiang Yun said in a complaining tone, “Why are you so punctual today?”

“Don’t you always complain about me working late? Why? Now that I come back on time, you’re still not happy?” Mu Zhuangfei laughed as he took off his coat and hung it on the rack behind the door.

Jiang Yun rolled her eyes at him and hurriedly instructed Aunt Wang to prepare dinner while she went upstairs to call Mu Feiyan and Li Qianqian.

Seeing Mu Zhuangfei come back, Wu Xiaoyu also stood up to greet him, but Mu Zhuangfei glanced at him sympathetically and asked, “Did you go shopping with little Fei and the others today? How was it? Did it wear you out?”

Wu Xiaoyu was taken aback and couldn’t help but smile wryly. It seems no one knows their daughter better than the father! If it weren’t for the interruption by Sunx Shangqiang and his sister, who knows how long Mu Feiyan would have shopped?

After only a few words with Wu Xiaoyu, Mu Zhuangfei noticed Jiang Yun bringing Mu Feiyan and Li Qianqian downstairs.

Li Qianqian, wearing new clothes and shoes, ran over to Mu Zhuangfei and Wu Xiaoyu excitedly and said, “Uncle, do you think my new clothes are pretty?”

“Very pretty… very pretty…” Mu Zhuangfei said with a silly grin, but Li Qianqian’s face showed a hint of disappointment; she twirled around and muttered, “I think they are obviously quite pretty!”

Mu Zhuangfei was bewildered. Hadn’t he just complimented her? Why was she still disappointed?

Jiang Yun and Mu Feiyan, being women, picked up on the unusual vibes from Li Qianqian’s actions.

The girl seemed to be asking her uncle’s opinion, but in reality, she wanted to know what Wu Xiaoyu thought. It looked like her relationship with Wu Xiaoyu was definitely not ordinary! Could it be that she likes Wu Xiaoyu?

Given Wu Xiaoyu’s background, he had already achieved quite a lot for someone his age, but his status compared to Li Qianqian’s was worlds apart, making it impossible for them to be together.

Mu Feiyan glanced at Wu Xiaoyu and saw that he didn’t seem particularly interested in Li Qianqian. She then stepped forward, pulling Li Qianqian and said, “Alright, enough showing off. Shall we eat first?”

Jiang Yun quickly agreed with Mu Feiyan and said, “Yes… let’s eat quickly! Your uncle’s been busy all day!”

Li Qianqian gave Wu Xiaoyu a look full of disappointment before being pulled towards the dining room by Mu Feiyan, and Mu Zhuangfei also stood up to take Wu Xiaoyu to eat.

During the meal, Mu Feiyan hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up, “Dad, we met Sunx Shangqiang today!”

“Oh?” Mu Zhuangfei responded dismissively, not seeming particularly interested.

Seeing that her father wasn’t concerned about Sunx Shangqiang, Mu Feiyan said directly, “He wants Wu Xiaoyu to help Grandpa Sunx with his illness…”

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhuangfei was taken aback. Although the Mu Family and the Sunx Family often clashed fiercely,

Sunx Qianjin was a man of merit to the country, and he and Elder Mu were comrades-in-arms. If he refused to allow Wu Xiaoyu to help, it would seem heartless.

But if Sunx Qianjin’s health were restored, the Sunx Family would continue to vie with the Mu Family. When would this endless struggle ever end?

“I understand,” Mu Zhuangfei responded casually, but his heart was full of hesitation. It seemed he needed to seek Elder Mu’s advice on this matter.

Mu Feiyan, seeing her father’s apparent indifference, felt puzzled but didn’t press further.

After dinner, it was already past eight o’clock. Wu Xiaoyu was called to the study by Mu Zhuangfei to discuss training plans for the next day before being sent to the guest room to rest.

In the middle of the night, Wu Xiaoyu, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by footsteps in the corridor. These footsteps were obviously not from the Mu Family members.

Could there be a thief in this military compound?

Wu Xiaoyu got up slowly, dressed, and prepared to go out and investigate, but then he heard footsteps going downstairs.

Wu Xiaoyu, dressed, tiptoed out of the room, intending to follow the footsteps downstairs.

But as he reached the stairway, he was startled to see Mu Feiyan, wearing a loose nightgown, walking downstairs like a zombie.

What the hell! Big sis, why don’t you turn on the lights? What are you doing, acting all spooky in the middle of the night?

“Mu Feiyan… Mu Feiyan…” Wu Xiaoyu glanced around to ensure no one else was there and then quietly called out.
