Chapter 462 His Secret
Chapter 462 His Secret
Situ Mulan finally felt a little relieved after receiving the old lady's assurance.
She changed the subject to something lighter, saying, "My godfather will be so happy to hear that you're back in China. He must have missed you terribly after all this time."
The old lady's eyebrows and eyes relaxed, clearly showing that she still cared about her son.
However, she still said, "I'm not a child anymore, why would I think of an old woman like you?"
“You are no ordinary old lady. I have never seen an old lady more elegant than you.”
Situ Mulan always managed to praise the old lady to the point, and the old lady would immediately beam with joy.
"You're so sweet-talking!"
The atmosphere inside the car gradually became relaxed and cheerful.
But when the car stopped in front of Wilson's villa and the two of them got out, the old lady's expression became somewhat embarrassed.
Because... the villa's gate was tightly closed, and no matter how much she knocked, there was no response from inside, as if no one was there.
Situ Mulan guessed, "Could it be... that something came up and they all went out together?"
"Impossible! Even if something serious happened, at least one or two servants would be left at home." The old lady turned to the bodyguard beside her and ordered, "Call Wilson!"
"Yes."
The call connected quickly, and Wilson answered quite promptly. The old lady's anxiety subsided somewhat, and she immediately pressed the speakerphone button.
Wilson's somewhat surprised voice came through the phone: "Mother, why are you calling all of a sudden?"
The old woman didn't explain why, she just asked, "Where are you?"
Wilson replied, "I just got back from a dinner party. I had a few drinks, so I'm going home to sleep for two hours before going to the office. What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
The old lady didn't answer, but only asked, "So you're home now?"
"Yes, I just lay down..."
"Wilson!" the old woman suddenly raised her voice, "I'm this old, why would you lie to me like this?!"
Wilson asked suspiciously, "Lying? I'm not. I'm lying in bed right now. You can make a video call if you don't believe me."
The old lady frowned deeply, her mind filled with countless questions. Just as she was about to ask more, Wilson hung up the phone and made a video call.
The old lady was stunned for two seconds before clicking to connect.
Wilson was lying on the bed, slightly tipsy from drinking, his cheeks flushed.
Is it really in the bedroom?
However, the bedroom's decor had a medieval castle feel, which clashed with the modern, traditional Chinese style of the villa in front of them.
"Which house are you in?" the old lady blurted out. "I'm at your door!"
Wilson's eyes widened suddenly: "You said you're where you?"
The old lady turned her phone camera around and said, "I'm here."
An hour later, the old lady arrived at an ancient castle in a scenic forest on the outskirts of Kyoto.
The castle looks quite old, but its design gives it a European aristocratic feel.
Especially after stepping into the castle, a magnificent and luxurious atmosphere comes into view. Every part of the castle is exquisitely decorated, and it looks very new inside, unlike the old look outside, as if it has just been renovated.
Wilson was sitting on the sofa waiting for someone when he saw the old lady come in, so he got up to greet her.
However, his expression immediately darkened when his gaze fell upon Situ Mulan, who was following behind the old lady.
He said that the old lady was a native Frenchwoman who was used to the comfortable life in Europe and rarely came here except for tourism. There must be a reason why she suddenly came this time.
Now it seems that the reason is that Situ Mulan is definitely involved.
Wilson's gaze darkened further as he recalled the day he had ordered the butler to throw Situ Mulan out.
He really took the old lady as his protector and started tattling on her.
Situ Mulan seems to have forgotten that, whether it's the Wilson family or the Forest Group, the one who truly holds the reins is him, not the old lady.
The old lady was of noble status only because he respected her. Without that respect, the old lady would be nothing but an ordinary old lady.
The Wilson family doesn't value filial piety as much as people in China. If you anger him, the old lady won't look good.
Wilson suppressed his anger and pretended nothing had happened, inviting the old lady to sit down on the sofa.
He turned to Ned the butler and instructed him, "Make coffee for the old lady, without sugar."
"Yes." Butler Ned went off tremblingly.
He never expected that Situ Mulan would actually invite the old lady.
You have to understand, it was he who personally "invited" Situ Mulan away. Not to mention whether the old lady and Wilson would develop a rift because of Situ Mulan, he, a servant caught in the middle, would definitely be the one who "dies" the most tragically.
He doesn't want to be a cookie!
Ned, the housekeeper, was brewing coffee with a worried expression when the sound of high heels clicking on the ground came from behind her.
He turned his head and saw that it was Situ Mulan.
“Miss Situ…” He lowered his head, not daring to look Situ Mulan in the eye.
Situ Mulan sneered and stepped forward, saying, "What? Didn't the head butler kick me out of the villa a few days ago? Why don't you even dare to look me in the eye today?"
Situ Mulan was a very meticulous person, even though she knew that Ned dared to do that because Wilson was behind it.
Ned gritted his teeth and said resignedly, "Miss Situ, I know you're upset that I asked you to leave that day, but I had no choice..."
"Is there no other way?" Situ Mulan picked at her nails and said, "Then there's nothing I can do. Please leave."
Ned was startled and quickly grabbed Situ Mulan's sleeve, saying, "Miss Situ, please, I can't lose this job! I just bought a house. If I lose my job, I won't be able to pay the mortgage at all. I might have to sell my blood to pay it off..."
"What do I care how you pay your mortgage? But now that you mention it, when you kicked me out, you were probably thinking, 'It's none of your business if I embarrass myself,' right?" Situ Mulan said, going straight to get the brewed coffee. "You can go pack your bags now. I'll get you the coffee; consider it one last thing I'm doing for you."
"No...please stop!" The butler rushed forward to stop Situ Mulan, pleading, "Miss Situ, please spare me! I'll do anything you want as long as you let me continue working!"
Situ Mulan laughed dismissively, "But I don't need you to do anything."
Ned, quick-witted, said, "I can tell you a secret about you, sir! This secret is of utmost importance to you!"
Situ Mulan then showed some curiosity and patiently asked, "What secret?"
Ned quickly said, "Do you know why the gentleman suddenly decided to move here?"
"Is this place more in line with his distinguished status?"
"No, the gentleman is a hardworking person; he wouldn't do something so troublesome for himself. The reason he moved is because... he found the young lady!"
