Mo Rushi was, after all, a socialite who moved in high society. She quickly regained her composure and greeted with a faint smile, "So Mu Zong is here too! I never expected that the boss of my Green Qi would be you!"
"Miss Gu has only just started working at Mu Group for a few days, so she probably hasn't had the chance to tell you," Mu Tongzi said, lowering his head as he placed a piece on the board. His dark gaze fell on the chessboard, and his tone was flat, revealing no emotion.
Listening to their conversation, Qin Feili turned to glance at Gu Lvq Qi, who had brought Mo Rushi in. There was surprise in his deep eyes, and just as he was about to ask, Green Qi explained, "Um, Mayor Qin, this is my mother-in-law."
This was the truth and nothing needed to be hidden. However, seeing Mu Tongzi's suddenly darkened expression made her uneasy.
Looking up at Mo Rushi's stiff face, Green Qi sighed lightly and stepped aside. She already knew in her heart that Mo Rushi would likely not treat her kindly from now on. If she were to be embarrassed in front of the mayor, she could only accept it; after all, her own reputation had long been lost.
As she raised her head, she heard Mo Rushi smilingly trying to establish connections: "Yes, Green Qi is my daughter-in-law. I didn't expect to run into both of you here today; it's only right that I come over to say hello!"
"Oh, I see..." Qin Feili paused for a moment, then turned to glance at Mu Tongzi, smiling gently at Mo Rushi. "Your daughter-in-law is indeed quite charming; it's rare to find a child who is so understanding these days."
"Is that so?" With a forced smile, Mo Rushi's expression stiffened slightly. "Green Qi isn't very good with words; I hope Mayor Qin can be more forgiving!"
"There's no need for such modesty, Ms. Mo. This child truly possesses talent and makes excellent tea. You are fortunate to have such a daughter-in-law!"
"Indeed..." Mo Rushi glanced at Green Qi, feigning a smile while speaking in an official tone.
"Alright, I'll play a game of chess with Mu Zong. You two can chat as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; we wouldn't want Miss Gu to get bored waiting."
"Sure, sure..." Mo Rushi turned to look at Gu Lvq Qi, fawningly glancing at the two who were playing chess. "Then I won't disturb you two any longer; please continue!"
She glanced at Green Qi and turned to leave the private room.
Green Qi followed out of the private room and saw Mo Rushi waiting for her around the corner. Frowning, she walked over and asked, "Mom, what’s the matter?"
Without worrying about the people inside the private room, Mo Rushi immediately changed her expression. Looking at Green Qi's submissive demeanor, she snorted coldly, "Don't you know that the Mu Family and Jiang Family are sworn enemies? Why did you go to work at Mu Group? A City is so big; you could work anywhere else, yet you chose Mu Family. You're clearly opposing the Jiang Family!"
"Mom, it's not like that..." Green Qi frowned slightly, feeling wronged and frustrated. "I'm just working at a subsidiary under Mu Group. Besides, I'm just a small designer. The competition between Jiang Family and Mu Family is your business; there's no need to involve me!"
"You... you still think you have a point!" Hearing her rebuttal, Mo Rushi's face turned green with anger. "I don't care where you work or what you do; going to Mu Group is absolutely not allowed!"
"Mom, how can you be so unreasonable? I won't participate in your competition, nor will I threaten you. This is my first job after returning to the country, and I will definitely do well!"
