Capítulo 55: A Mistake Is A Mistake
Editor: Atlas Studios
"Yian, I…"
"Madam, Old Master wants to meet you."
Mu Chuqing was taken aback, she turned around to see Sheng Lin standing beside in a respectful posture, smiling at her.
Mu Chuqing frowned slightly. She could not understand why he could still smile and be so respectful despite the trouble she had created at the celebration just now.
"What's the matter?" Her voice had an element of coldness and alertness as she could not ascertain if the man had hidden intentions. Sheng Lin just smiled and kept quiet.
"…"
Mu Chuqing's eyes flashed as she suddenly realized how funny her question was. How could anyone easily guess Sheng Zhengyu's intentions?
"Let's go!"
No matter what, she was invited by Sheng Zhengyu today, and she should at least greet him. Also, it was reasonable for her to apologize for her behavior tonight.
"Chuqing…"
Gu Yian looked at her worriedly. Mu Chuqing gave him a comforting smile and said, "Don't worry!"
"I'll wait for you…"
Mu Chuqing nodded her head lightly before following Sheng Lin to Sheng Zhengyu's study room.
Sheng Lin opened the door and stood aside, letting Mu Chuqing enter.
Sheng Lin then closed the door from outside as he did not enter the room.
Inside the study room, there was a wooden table near the window. Sheng Zhengyu was sitting there, making tea.
Seeing her coming in, Sheng Zhengyu looked up, looking at her with smiling eyes.
Mu Chuqing sighed silently. Although it had only been three years since she last Sheng Zhengyu, the man seemed to have aged a lot.
"Sit!" His low and magnetic voice did not seem to have changed.
Mu Chuqing looked at him and went to sit across him.
Sheng Zhengyu placed a purple teacup near her, that had a pleasant smell to it.
Mu Chuqing lowered her head to look at it. She picked up the cup and gulped down the drink.
She knew there was a specific etiquette to tea-drinking, but she didn't really understand it. Neither would she try to act knowledgeably in front of a tea-drinking 'master.'
She only knew that it was right to drink it.
"How is the taste?"
Mu Chuqing nodded and said, "A rather strong initial taste, that turned bitter on the tongue afterward. Smelt good."
"…"
Sheng Zhengyu smiled.
"I'm sorry regarding what had happened at the celebration."
Mu Chuqing's eyes blinked slowly as she watched the man who continued making tea.
"I don't mind. You don't have to be sorry about it, I understand!"
"Then…"
Mu Chuqing's hands rested on the seat's handles, preparing to stand when Sheng Zhengyu sighed.
"I can never teach Yuchen to drink tea…"
Mu Chuqing moved as she watched Sheng Zhengyu place the teacup in front of her again.
"I hope he won't disappoint you in the end, and I think there is nothing in this world he can't learn. He's your son, I'm sure you know his intelligence better than me!"
Mu Chuqing wanted to end this conversation. She was not as intelligent as Sheng Yuchen, and she could not understand the underlying meaning of Sheng Zhengyu's words.
She did not feel that Sheng Yuchen's actions were related to her anymore.
"Chuqing, a smart person, will also make mistakes, and they often make the stupidest mistake. A person who can cover the sky with one hand and bring the wind and rain to life can also fall to pieces because of that one mistake…"
Mu Chuqing was taken aback, but she seemed to understand Sheng Zhengyu's implied meaning.
Or perhaps the idea seemed to be too far-fetched or a result of her overthinking.
"Don't worry about this, smart people will always think of ways to make amends for their mistakes…"
"There is no difference between a major or a minor mistake. A mistake is a mistake!"
