He wanted to keep Lin Xi primarily to build a closer relationship.
Playing chess was secondary.
With the recent rejection, he was very certain this person was not ordinary.
As he spoke those words, he kept watching Lin Xi.
Finding this young man had neither greed nor any desire.
That indicated Xiaolin simply didn’t care about his proposal.
Knowing their Mu family stood extraordinarily in terms of wealth.
Even so, it didn’t move him.
Meanwhile, he was internally angry, yes, angry at his children.
Why couldn’t these ungrateful kids see through things as he did?
Didn’t they know how to judge people?
Truly lacking any insight!
Ah!
He sighed, went inside, and started drinking tea alone.
Initially, he wanted to send Lin Xi off, but Lin Xi declined, citing he needed proper rest for the next few days.
His son Mu Chen proactively offered to send Lin Xi off.
He refused without thinking.
However, Mu Chen made all sorts of gestures, indicating he understood completely and would not trouble Lin Xi.
Promising to thank Lin Xi properly.
Also saying the airport manager was familiar with him and could directly escort Lin Xi through security checks.
The airport was quite crowded during these days.
Otherwise, they would spend a long time in queue, which was very time-consuming.
Uncle Mu, after thinking, privately warned Mu Chen not to offend Xiaolin.
If possible, seek favor with him.
Mu Chen nodded, promising to follow his advice.
Only then did he allow Mu Chen to drive Lin Xi and Princess Consort Le.
But he didn’t notice Mu Chen turning away with a bright smile on his face.
This smile seemed odd.
Seeing Mu Chen grin like that, Mu Rou also gave a bright smile.
Both understood each other without words.
Lin Xi and the others left a while ago, and the old master had been drinking tea for quite a while as well.
At this moment, Mu Rou came over and sat beside the old master.
Seeing the old master, she couldn’t help but ask in confusion, "Dad, you don’t look happy?"
"What’s the matter?"
"Shouldn’t you be happy now?"
From her perspective, her father was not only saved, but their Fist Skill was improved.
Though she might not entirely agree, thinking Lin Xi was spouting nonsense, even about the treatment, she felt he was just messing around.
However, the old master was relieved, so she didn’t say much.
A doctor would visit soon anyway.
This doctor was one of the most famous in Sichuan, renowned nationwide.
By then, any deceitful acts of that kid would be revealed.
"Unhappy?" Uncle Mu glared at her grudgingly, "All because of you!"
"Because of us?" Mu Rou was stunned, not expecting it.
"Who else could it be but myself?" the old master replied, "That Xiaolin saved your father twice, or rather, three times!"
"Shouldn’t we go all out to thank him?"
Mu Rou nodded, "Indeed, we should thank him!"
"We could give him millions; I think it wouldn’t matter!"
Upon hearing this, the old master got angry, unable to suppress a furious snort, "Foolish!"
