Chapter 847. Gather (3)
Qi Lei turned over to Mu Yuchen as he said, “Congratulations on getting out.”
Mu Yuchen looked at him, his eyes darkening. “I guess I’m lucky, but you don’t seem very fortunate.”
Qi Lei’s eyes darkened as he looked away, while his voice sounded calm, his tone felt sorrowful—
“I sure am a little unfortunate, but so what? Are you going to offer me some words of comfort right now?” His voice sounded cold just like the wind passing by.
A light flashed in Mu Yuchen’s eyes as he said, “I thought about doing so, but seeing you now makes me think that you don’t need it. Great.” He raised a toast, and they finished their glasses together.
“I’ve heard too much of those and I’m getting bored with it. Yang Sheng got a cactus plant from Xiaye several days ago. I understand. That’s my mother after all, so it’s normal to be sad, but there’s nothing I can do to bring her back to life. I still have a life to live. You don’t have to tell me. I understand,” said Qi Lei as he gulped the wine down.
“What do you plan to do from now on?” Mu Yuchen asked.
Qi Lei took a deep breath and leaned back onto the chair. “That old man wants me to take over my mother’s position. He thinks he’s doing me a favor! My mother had a lawyer and made her will a long time ago. All her shares and properties are left to me. That old man was just afraid that I might not be able to take on the stress and sell all the shares that I have.
“My mother’s group influence fell considerably after she passed away. I suppose it’ll be very challenging even if I want to rebuild it.” He looked at Mu Yuchen straight in the eye.
