Capítulo 29: The Life of Yun Shishi
Editor: Atlas Studios
"Sorry, Youyou. Today, mommy… lost her job, so…"
Upon hearing this, Youyou, astonished, looked at her with widened eyes. "Why? Did mommy do something wrong?"
Yun Shishi shook her head, stroking his hair. "No… Mommy will go search for a job tomorrow. Mommy is so competent; I'll definitely find a job with a higher pay! From then on, mommy will take you to eat Xiaolongbao every day!"
"Okay…" Youyou's eyes drooped as he nodded obediently. When Yun Shishi was not paying attention, he hid the parent's letter in his hand behind his back, not letting her see it. He then lifted his head and said while smiling, "Mommy, let's go home!"
Yun Shishi, who did not see his little movement, was unaware of what he had hidden away.
This was the case until a few days later….
After dinner, Youyou obediently cleared up the utensils. Placing a small stool in the kitchen, his small hands washed the dishes with warm water in a clumsy yet focused manner.
He was so considerate and knew to help Yun Shishi around the house that he did not seem to only be a six-year-old child.
Yun Shishi rummaged through the shelves and found an outdated vintage phone. She inserted a phone card in and turned it on. Seeing a few missed calls from Youyou's form teacher, she then returned the call.
The form teacher received her call and informed her about a spring trip to the safari, which was organized by the kindergarten. The parent's letter had been distributed a few days prior, but Youyou had yet to hand in his for submission. Thus, she called Yun Shishi to ask for her consent.
Yun Shishi was a little shaken, as she truly did not have knowledge of this matter. Thus, behind her son's back, she secretly rummaged through his small bag. Only then did she see the form mentioned by the teacher.
On the other end of the phone, the form teacher conversed in a somewhat cautious manner, seemingly afraid to say anything inappropriate, "Forgive me for being straightforward; Youyou is really looking forward to this spring trip with the other children. Furthermore, the amount to pay is not a lot… Are you perhaps having any financial difficulties?"
Yun Shishi hurriedly denied, "Of course, not! I'll submit this form along with the fee tomorrow!"
Yun Shishi hung up the phone with a complex expression. Skimming through the form, she then signed her name on it with a pen.
Disheng Financial Group, otherwise known as Mu Group.
Mu Wanrou entered the CEO's office, yet Mu Yazhe was not present. His accompanying assistant, Aaron, who was in the midst of placing a thick pile of documents on Mu Yazhe's table, noticed Mu Wanrou's arrival and promptly lowered his head in greeting.
"Madam."
"Um," she hummed in response. Sweeping her eyes around the office, she looked at him and asked, "Where is the CEO?"
He replied respectfully, "Oh, boss is not in office at the moment."
"Where did he go?"
"There's an investment project between Mu Group and Yayuan Group in the afternoon. As to when he will be back, I currently do not know."
"If this is so…" She trailed off as she caught sight of the thick pile of documents laid on the table. She went over and held some up. Lifting her head, she gestured at them to him, "What are these?"
Aaron went stiff. He hesitated for a moment before giving his reply, "Documents containing the information that boss ordered me to gather yesterday."
"Information? I should be able to take a look, right?" she probed.
Aaron did not answer and merely lowered his head to ponder. Mu Wanrou did not pay attention to him. She, the Mu family's young mistress, was the future wife of the CEO. Why could she not go over her future husband's things? Therefore, without another word, she removed the seal and carefully took out the documents.

Aaron did not answer and merely lowered his head to ponder. Mu Wanrou did not pay attention to him. She, the Mu family's young mistress, was the future wife of the CEO. Why could she not go over her future husband's things? Therefore, without another word, she removed the seal and carefully took out the documents.
Aaron was Mu Yazhe's right-hand man. Therefore, he was expectedly reliable in whatever he did, and investigating a regular citizen was truly a simple task. He conducted a thorough investigation within a day and brought everything over to Mu Yazhe's office. However, he did not expect to run into Mu Wanrou. In front of her, he, a mere subordinate, naturally had no say in things, so he did not stop her from looking through the documents.
The information collected was indeed very thorough. The thick stack of documents contained pictures and texts.
Mu Wanrou flipped through them all. From the person's family background and the institute the subject had graduated from down to the subject's résumé, everything was listed out explicitly.
At first, she was puzzled. This was clearly just a normal girl, and she could not fathom why he would order an investigation into her identity. However, the more information she read, the more uncertain she felt.
"Yun Shishi?!" She had a vague impression of this name, but her memories were foggy, until she reached one page, and her expression immediately changed.
It turned out to be that girl who had gone through surrogacy for her six years ago! It was no wonder she found the name a bit familiar. Six years ago, Mu Yazhe and she got engaged, but medical diagnoses revealed that she was infertile. This girl was personally chosen by Grandpa Mu for surrogacy.
Mu Wanrou was a little skeptical, even worried. She could not fathom why Mu Yazhe would want to investigate the girl.
It stated in these documents that Yun Shishi also had a six-year-old son named Yun Tianyou.
Yun Tianyou… six years old… the same age as Yichen.
Mu Wanrou slowly narrowed her eyes. She still remembered that the surrogate had conceived a pair of identical twins back then. However, due to premature delivery and the older twin almost absorbing all the nutrients in the mother's body, when the younger twin was born, he was already not breathing, and he was announced dead.
She suddenly had a bad feeling and proceeded to seriously go through a few more pages, flipping to Yun Tianyou's information. When she reached the end of the report, her palms became clammy while her heart boiled with rage.
In the portfolio, she saw another set of photographs. She hastily took all of them out and checked each piece. The few photographs she saw featured a good-looking boy, with the background being a kindergarten. It seemed that all these photos were taken at a kindergarten.
The boy's delicate features, handsome side profile, and similar appearance to Little Yichen confirmed all her suspicions at once!
Her grip immediately tightened, distorting the photograph.
Mu Wanrou bit on her lower lip harshly!
Could it be that the child did not die back then?
Or that, for these six years, that woman had hidden this child?!
Mu Wanrou was instantly flustered, and layers of ice covered her heart.
What exactly was the intention of this woman called Yun Shishi? The child was clearly not stillborn, so why did she not say anything? Perhaps, she wanted to use her custody rights of this child to properly claim compensation from the Mu's?
Maybe… Her ambitions went beyond that! She might be intending to use the child as a bargaining chip to step foot into the Mu Group.
After all, she was the biological mother of the two children!
As for her, while she was the Mu family's young mistress and future wife of Mu Group's CEO, she was completely unrelated to the two children!
Since ancient times, mothers had always been successful at elevating their status through their sons. This was even more so for wealthy families!
