Chapter 2117: You Are My Son (1)
The next day, in the evening.
Inside the office of Glory World Corporation’s chairman.
Mu Yuchen had just finished a day of work and was about to call his wife, Xi Xiaye, to remind her to go home early when his phone on the table rang.
He picked it up. It was an unfamiliar number, and this was his private number. Not many people knew about it, so after some thought, he picked it up.
Soon, the call went through, and a woman’s voice came through.
“Hello, are you Mu Zicheng’s parent?”
Mu Zicheng?
Mu Yuchen’s eyes narrowed. “I’m his father. What happened?”
Mu Yuchen naturally felt a little uneasy.
“Hello, Mr. Mu. This is Hospital T’s second emergency room. Your son had an accident and his arm was injured. He’s getting stitches right now. You’d better come over.”
Mu Yuchen’s expression changed when he heard that. He quickly hung up the phone, grabbed his coat from the shelf, and left the office in a hurry.
When he arrived at the hospital, the sky had already fallen silent. The entire City Z was lit up.
When Mu Yuchen found the second emergency room, he had just stood at the door when he saw the doctor stitching up Mu Zicheng’s wound on the seat beside him. Mu Yuchen felt that it was a little merciless as he watched this scene, especially for a child who was about 10 years old.
However, when he saw Mu Xiaocheng’s small face, he felt that he was quite calm. Even though the needle had already pierced his arm, he only frowned.
Mu Yuchen stood at the door and watched for a while before he walked in.
“Father? Why are you here?”
Mu Zicheng was stunned when he saw his father.
“If wasn’t here, how would I know what you’ve done?”
Mu Yuchen glared at him.
“It’s nothing. It’s just a small injury. Don’t tell Mother when we get back, she’s very naggy, Father.”
The doctor had already finished treating his wound. He gave some instructions on what to take note of as he pulled down his sleeves.
“You know that she’ll worry, be careful from now on!”
Mu Yuchen reached out and touched Mu Zicheng’s head
Mu Zicheng had already grown quite tall. He now reached Mu Yuchen’s shoulder. He was just over eight years old.
“Be careful when you go back. Go to the pharmacy to get some medicine. Remember to change the medicine on time. It’s easy for wounds to fester in this weather, so be careful.”
The doctor was very competent as he advised.
“Alright, thank you, Doctor.”
Mu Yuchen thanked him, then the father and son left the emergency room.
After getting the medicine, the father and son left the hospital unhurriedly.
The night was already very thick. The night breeze was naturally a little cold, and the street lamps were very dim.
The father and son walked forward one after the other.
As Mu Zicheng walked forward, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. A warm feeling came from behind him. He quickly looked over to his shoulder and realized that a large coat had appeared on his shoulder.
“Father! I’m not cold!”
Mu Zicheng turned to look at his loving father and suddenly felt a little lost.
“The night breeze is cold. Put It on.”
Mu Yuchen put his hand on his shoulder. “What happened?”
“I thought you really wouldn’t ask,” Mu Zicheng replied.
“Mu Xiaocheng, I’m your father.”
Mu Yuchen gave him a side kick.
“I know, I’m your son.” Mu Zicheng replied as well. When he saw that his father’s gaze was a little deep, he immediately continued, “Someone wasn’t happy that I’d defeated him, so he got someone to teach me a lesson. I was afraid that things would get out of hand, so I gave him a warning. I accidentally got cut and nothing serious happened. Don’t worry, Father.”
“You still think you’ve done me a favor, don’t you?”
Mu Yuchen slapped his head and glanced at his legs. The pants on his knees were a little worn. Judging by the way he walked, he must have hurt his knees as well.
“Do I need to carry you?”
Mu Yuchen suddenly realized that he had not carried Mu Xiaocheng for quite a few years.
When he was young, he often carried him. After his daughter was born, his son did not seem to be so favored anymore.
“Father, I hurt my arm, not my foot.”
Mu Xiaocheng said, “Even Xiao Shu doesn’t like to stick to you. I can’t stick to you either.”
“You’re my son. It’s not wrong for you to stick to me and your mother. Father doesn’t want the both of you to mature so early.”
As Mu Yuchen said this, he bent down and suddenly reached out to knock on Mu Zicheng’s knee. This time, Mu Zicheng could not help but suck in a breath of cold air as he looked up at his father.
Mu Yuchen squinted at him, then squatted down and gave an order directly. “Come up, if you don’t want your two legs to be crippled.”
Mu Zicheng was stunned. His knees were really hurting. Every step he took hurt badly. He tugged on his coat and climbed onto his father’s back.
Mu Yuchen carried him up very easily and walked forward step by step.
“Father, I want to go to the same school as Elder Brother. I’m almost nine years old. Didn’t my brother go in when he was eight too?”
Mu Zicheng hugged Mu Yuchen’s neck tightly as he spoke.
“You want to join the army too? Your Elder Brother wants to be a soldier and a general. If you go in too, who will help your mother and me take over the family business in the future?”
Mu Yuchen did not hide his intentions.
“Don’t you still have Xiao Shu? You said she’s better than mother.”
“She’s just a girl. Girls shouldn’t be too overworked. Otherwise, why do you think your mother and I gave birth to you?”
Mu Yuchen replied, “Don’t you plan to protect your sister and us?”
“When you grow up, your mother and I plan to send you overseas. It’s also a military school. You can interact with your Elder Brother often and learn a lot. It’s good for you to have a broader view.”
Mu Yuchen had always had such a plan in his heart.
“I’m going overseas? Why not Elder Brother or Xiao Shu?”
“Because you’re Xiao Shu’s brother, son of your mother and I. When I was your age, your grandfather wanted to send me overseas too, but your grandmother couldn’t bear to leave, so she stayed in the country. I hope my son can see further than me, your mother left before that.”
Mu Zicheng suddenly fell silent when Mu Yuchen said this.
After a long while, Mu Yuchen noticed that he did not say anything, so he asked, “Are you unwilling?”
“I can’t say that I’m very willing, but since you say so, father, I’ll consider it.”
“Are you that big of a brat? You still want to consider it!”
Mu Yuchen chuckled and turned to look at his son on his back.
“Of course, that’s my human right.”
Mu Zicheng hugged Mu Yuchen tightly and said this.
