Chapter 26: Quickly Soothe Me

Mu Yanxiao’s words made Lu Yuan extremely happy, but they made Lin You feel uncomfortable no matter how he thought about them.

Because of Young Master Lin You’s discomfort, during the ten o’clock meeting afterward, aside from reminding Mu Yanxiao of directions and things to take note of, Lin You basically didn’t say another word.

Although Lin You and Mu Yanxiao had originally agreed to avoid saying things in front of others that “animals wouldn’t understand,” Big Boss Mu was still quite sensitive to his parrot’s displeased mood.

Thus, the boss, angered by his own parrot, quite naturally took his anger out on his employees.

After rejecting and expressing dissatisfaction with three proposals and two reports, Big Boss Mu calmly walked out of the gloomy conference room. By this point, Mu Yanxiao’s face had darkened considerably, and his entire body radiated an unmistakable aura of displeasure.

“Uh, Boss, you have a lunch meeting with the CEO of Tiancheng Company at noon. Are you going?” Mu Two followed behind Mu Yanxiao and looked at his expression, feeling that the lunch meeting was going to end in tragedy.

Sure enough, after asking the question, Mu Yanxiao stopped walking. He turned around, raised an eyebrow at Mu Two, and said coldly, “Cancel them all.”

Mu Two’s lips twitched, and he nodded. Well, actually, even before his boss had gone blind, his personality had been just as carefree. Whatever the matter was, as long as he was happy, that was all that mattered.

“All right, Boss. Then you basically don’t have anything scheduled this afternoon. However, at two o’clock, you need to go to the First Hospital for an eye and brain examination. Although you seem fine right now, we need to make sure nothing gets worse.”

Mu Two looked at the itinerary in his hand and dutifully reminded his boss.

“I’m not going. There are three plots of land in City B up for auction recently, and one of them has a problem. Take Yanming with you and help him win the bid for that one. It’ll be useful later.”

Mu Yanxiao decisively rejected the suggestion to see Doctor Ouyang, then naturally shifted the topic back to work.

Lin You, standing on Mu Yanxiao’s shoulder, rolled his eyes when he heard this. Wake up, okay?! You’re already blind! As a blind man, shouldn’t you be more concerned about your eyes and your brain? Instead, you’re still acting like you have everything under control and charging ahead like you’re trying to get yourself killed!

Obviously, Young Master Lin You wasn’t the only one who thought this. Mu Two and Mu Four both looked extremely disapproving when they heard Mu Yanxiao’s words. Mu Four held back for a long time, but ultimately couldn’t anymore. “Boss, you can’t do this. That piece of glass in your brain could easily shift and compress other nerves. If it reaches that point, it won’t be something that can be controlled through examinations and prevention.”

Mu Yanxiao had already reached the lobby downstairs. Upon hearing this, he still shook his head. “Too much trouble. I’m not going.”

Mu Four and Mu Two immediately looked utterly speechless. Just when the two of them thought there was absolutely no hope of persuading their boss, a heavenly voice suddenly rang out.

“Squawk squawk~ You little brat~ If you don’t court death~ you won’t die~ Squawk~ If you die, this lord will be free~”

Mu Two and Mu Four, “…” Oh my god, Little Six. We know you’re trying to provoke the boss in reverse, but are you sure you aren’t just asking for trouble yourself? You do know how vengeful the boss is…

Mu Yanxiao stopped walking.

Lin You couldn’t help shrinking his neck. He suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Heh, you’ve finally decided to talk to me?” Mu Yanxiao said with a smile.

Lin You the parrot, “…This lord has been talking to you the whole time. Otherwise, how do you think you managed to walk all the way here by yourself?!”

Lin You felt that he should probably smack his blind master with a wing.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yanxiao suppressed his smile. “For the twenty minutes before the meeting, you didn’t say a single thing to me except to give me directions. If that’s the case, I might as well get a guide dog or a GPS locator.”

Lin You immediately became furious. This time, without the slightest hesitation, he smacked the back of his blind master’s head with his wing. “Motherfucker!! This lord has eaten, drunk, and slept with you for an entire month, and you actually want to throw me away after using me?! And now you want to buy a stupid dog and a useless machine?! Want this lord to poison you to death?!”

Mu Yanxiao’s lips twitched when he heard this. After a brief pause, his eyes flickered, and he casually asked, “You mean I can only have you as my pet?”

Lin You shouted indignantly, “Of course! You already have this lord, who else would you want?! Stupid dogs and fat cats aren’t allowed!! Can they talk, squawk?! Can they argue their case?! Can they cover you with a blanket at night?!”

Mu Two and Mu Four, “…” It seems we just heard something extraordinary.

Mu Yanxiao quickly grabbed his parrot and pressed him into his arms.

“Mm. Let’s talk in the car.” Young Master Lin You thrashed around desperately in someone’s arms.

After some difficulty, Mu Yanxiao finally got into the car with Mu Two’s guidance, and Lin You was released by his blind master.

Before Lin You could even speak, Mu Yanxiao directly told Mu Five, who was driving, “Go to the First Hospital.”

Mu Two, Mu Four, and Mu Five, “!!” Hey, Boss, not bad! You’re actually willing to go to the hospital! Little Six gets a thumbs-up!

Lin You was also stunned. Then he pursed his lips and found a place to curl up. This time, he had firmly decided not to pay any attention to that stupid master anymore.

“Are you angry because of Zheng Yuhu and Chen Yuhe?” Mu Yanxiao reached out and stroked his parrot’s feathers.

Young Master Lin You scoffed. “Those two scumbags aren’t worth this lord getting angry over! A bottle of foggy water could kill a dozen of them.”

Mu Yanxiao’s voice remained unchanged, but there was a trace of amusement in his eyes. “Then it must be Lu Yuan? You don’t like him?”

Lin You’s body stiffened, but he quickly recovered and shook his head vigorously. “No no, I don’t hate anyone.”

Although Lin You’s parrot head was shaking like a rattle drum, the reaction of his body couldn’t be faked. Mu Yanxiao had clearly sensed the moment his parrot stiffened when he mentioned Lu Yuan. Combined with that excessive denial, Big Boss Mu could be certain that his parrot truly disliked Lu Yuan.

Therefore, Mu Yanxiao lightly tapped his parrot on the head and said in a very indifferent voice, “All right. Although you don’t hate him, I don’t like him. How about we just ignore him from now on?”

“?!” My master can’t possibly be this considerate!

Lin You immediately stood up and carefully studied his master’s expression with his little black-bean eyes. Hmm. Nothing seemed out of place right now.

“But he’s good-looking.” Although he wasn’t as handsome as this lord. Lin You, not human, said somewhat unhappily, “And he’s very popular.”

Mu Yanxiao raised an eyebrow. “I can’t see. What is popularity? Can you eat it?”

Upon hearing this, Lin You’s long tail feathers swayed happily. “He even spoke up for you. And he’s your classmate.”

Mu Yanxiao’s voice carried a hint of amusement this time. “I helped him avoid becoming a kept man. Classmate… By comparison, you’re my roommate. Who do you think is more important?”

Lin You the parrot’s tail feathers instantly puffed up. He rolled backward once before stammering slightly. “Don’t, don’t talk nonsense! Who lives with you? This lord is your caregiver!!”

Although that was what he said, after being soothed by his blind master, Young Master Lin You’s mood soared from the lowest point to the highest. He even forgot about the unpleasant fact that Lu Yuan was still coming that night.

“Having shared a bed for a month, isn’t that living together?” Mu Yanxiao’s voice remained relatively flat, but his words caused the three people and one parrot in the car to react with various expressions of “=0=”.

Mu Two, Mu Four, and Mu Five, “!!” I must be hearing things wrong today! When did Boss learn to say such cheesy things? And that isn’t even the point. The point is that he didn’t say them to the lady of the house, but to a male parrot!!

Even if this parrot seemed to have already become a spirit in their eyes, Boss! Had you ever thought about how long it would take for this parrot to transform into a human even if he really was a spirit?! What if you were ninety-nine by the time he finally transformed? Could you handle such a tragic scene?!

Lin You the parrot, “…” He had always thought that his blind master was easy to move and easy to tease. That had been the most incorrect assumption ever!! This guy was a black-bellied blind man! His belly was as dark as his vision!!

“…Celebrity Lu Yuan will definitely be heartbroken if he finds out.” Young Master Lin You gave his final sigh. But this lord was especially happy!

“Squawk squawk~ Since that’s the case, this lord will be a little nicer to you~ I’ll specially allow you to have a second pet, on the condition that it’s after I’m gone~ Of course, it absolutely cannot be another parrot like me!!”

Mu Yanxiao’s hand paused when he heard this.

Grabbing Lin You’s tail feathers, he said coldly, “Raising one of you is already stressful enough. Who would want to raise a second one?”

Young Master Lin You, “~” This lord is very happy, but I’m just not going to tell my blind master. Hehehehehe~

……

At this time, at Lu Yuan’s house.

Lu Yuan sat on a luxurious sofa in an extremely good mood. Opposite him was a video phone, with Zheng Yuhu’s equally pleased face on the screen.

“Hehe. The plan is going well,” Lu Yuan said. “Tonight, I’ll be able to go to Mu Yanxiao’s house. A lot of things can happen then, right? Perhaps in a few days, I’ll be able to take over the Mu Family without lifting a finger.”

Zheng Yuhu chuckled, but quickly followed it with a cold snort. “I don’t deny that this is a good start, but are you sure you can manipulate Mu Yanxiao? Although he’s blind and somewhat shaken psychologically, that man has never been easy to fool. Don’t end up failing to get him and losing everything in the process.”

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. “As long as there’s a beginning, there’s nothing I can’t accomplish. Life is just a play. It’s all about who can act more convincingly and hide their true feelings better. Don’t contact me for now. I’m afraid Mu Yanxiao will investigate. Also, clean up our call records and any other clues. I’ll handle Mu Yanxiao’s side. You and your cousin are going to B City to deal with Mu Yanming, aren’t you? If you can completely control Mu Yanming, then with Mu Yanxiao blind, it’ll be quite difficult for him to get his brother out.”

“Moreover, if we use this properly, we can completely wear down the Mu Family. Isn’t that right?”

Zheng Yuhu clicked his tongue twice on the other end of the video.

“They say the most poisonous heart belongs to a woman, but I don’t think you’re much different. As expected of an actor, you’re heartless. On one hand, you shout that you love Mu Yanxiao to death, while on the other, you wish you could kill him. And to think you always play righteous characters on screen.”

Lu Yuan laughed instead of getting angry.

“Young Master Zheng, we’re not that different. I’ve never met anyone as sanctimonious and hypocritical as you. Compared to you, what does an actor like me amount to? I’d rather fight a genuine villain than compete with you.”
