Chapter 41: Taking Advantage
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Did Mu Rongcheng get addicted to taking advantage of Mu Zi?
Her expression grew cold and she withdrew her hand.
Mu Rongcheng pulled her little hand back to his palm and said, "You can study there, but you don't have to live on campus. It's better to stay at home so we won't worry about you."
Bai Wei strongly agreed with his words. "The students who live on campus are all grown up. Zizi is still small, so you can just live at home. It doesn't take up much time for the driver to pick you up and drop you off at school."
Mu Zi silently struggled as hard as she could, but her efforts were in vain. She could not break free of his grip.
She felt gloomy.
How did she fall into his hands?
Mu Rongcheng was fascinated by the feel of Mu Zi's skin. It was soft, smooth, and warmer than even the finest silk. He fondled it affectionately.
He held Mu Zi's hand and fiddled with her tender fingers before pausing slightly at the fingertips, rubbing them carefully.
Mu Zi felt goosebumps rise all over her body.
Bai Wei did not notice the subtle interaction between the siblings. Her current attention was completely focused on Mu Zi wanting to go to school.
"Do you really want to go to Geroux? The tuition there is very expensive." Bai Wei looked worried. "Zizi, why don't you go to your previous school, Eisen? You studied there before and are familiar with the environment…"
Bai Wei was not a stingy person. She was just worried that her daughter would not be able to integrate into Geroux's elite environment.
Mu Zi's grades had been bad since she was a child and had become worse after she entered middle school. Besides that, she was withdrawn and had become the target of bullying by her classmates. Even the teachers did not like her. Under such heavy pressure, she could not study normally and had to finally drop out of school and stay home.
Now, she suddenly said that she wanted to go to school, and to a famous one like Geroux at that. Whether it was adapting to the new environment or facing academic pressure, it would be worse than before! Would Mu Zi repeat history and end up getting excluded and bullied by the students again?
Bai Wei grew more worried the more she thought about it. She almost burst into tears. "Let's not go to school, alright? Zizi, mom will hire a private tutor for you if you want to learn."
"Mu Yun and Mu Ling are both studying at Geroux." Mu Zi muttered. She looked like a child who was envious of another's toys.
Bai Wei's heart grew tighter at her words.
Mu Yun and Mu Ling had enjoyed the best educational resources since childhood, but her Zizi had only suffered from following her!
"Alright, since Zizi wants to go to Geroux, we'll go to Geroux." Bai Wei did not want to disappoint her daughter and buried all her worries in her heart for the time being. "Even if your eldest brother disagrees, mom will send you there. Mom has accumulated some savings over the years."
Bai Wei subconsciously ignored what Mu Rongcheng had said earlier.
In her eyes, her son did nothing but idle and laze around every day. Even if he wanted to start a company now, she did not think that he would earn much.
Mu Zi took the opportunity to break free from Mu Rongcheng and hugged Bai Wei, as if she was very moved. "Mom is the best."
Mu Rongcheng raised his brows at Mu Zi at the sight of his empty palms. His vaguely smiling eyes seemed to conceal danger.
Mu Zi's heart trembled at the sight and she hugged Bai Wei tighter!
"You child. You only act spoiled now that you're grown up." Bai Wei stroked Mu Zi's head with a loving smile.
Buried in Bai Wei's arms, Mu Zi only felt that she had to suffer silently!
…
Mu Zi followed behind her mother like a little shadow and left the hospital.
The chauffeur drove the car to the hospital gate.
She contemplated in her heart that it was best to let Bai Wei sit in the back seat with her. That way, she could avoid Mu Rongcheng...
Just as she was thinking, Mu Rongcheng, who stood in front, opened the back door and entered!
Mu Zi. "!!!"
Bai Wei naturally would not let her daughter sit in the front passenger seat alone. "Zizi, sit in the back with your brother."
Mu Zi. "..."
She stood beside the car and clenched her fist, breathing in and out silently.
Mu Rongcheng patted the seat beside him and smirked. "Come on, the car can't stop here too long."
