Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 152: Lost Both the Woman and the Money?

“Shao Qihai, why did you have to die? It would have been great if you hadn’t died!” Tang Moling, who had been jealous of Shao Qihai several times before, genuinely hoped that Shao Qihai was still alive for the first time.

That way, his uncle wouldn’t be able to snatch Mu Jingzhe.

At the thought of this, Tang Moling smacked his head again. “You’re muddleheaded.”

If Shao Qihai hadn’t died, he wouldn’t be able to snatch Mu Jingzhe either. In that case, Mu Jingzhe would be a married woman, not a widow.

‘I can’t take it lying down. Even if it’s Uncle, I won’t give in. Maybe I’m just thinking too much. Maybe Uncle doesn’t have that kind of intention!’

In the end, Tang Moling could only console himself. “Even if it’s true, Uncle has always been very good to me. He wouldn’t be so cruel to me.”

Mu Jingzhe was shocked by the relationship between Tang Moling and Ji Buwang. When she got home, she couldn’t help but share it with the children.

The children hadn’t expected this either, but they didn’t harp on the subject. Mu Jingzhe didn’t think too much about it either, thinking that Tang Moling probably wouldn’t come looking for her again.

Director Lu contacted Mu Jingzhe and said that the editing process of the movie was done. If it was convenient, he would bring it over for Xiao Wu to see. The movie was scheduled to be released during the Chinese New Year, and it was also just in time for various film festivals. Director Lu even wanted to attend the film festivals and was very confident about the movie.

This was an important matter that couldn’t be delayed. Mu Jingzhe quickly agreed and said that she could bring Xiao Wu along if necessary. Regardless of whether Xiao Wu could produce the music accompaniment or not, he still had to do what needed to be done.

In order to allow Xiao Wu to understand what he needed to do, Mu Jingzhe brought the children to watch two movies in the county.

The children loved watching movies and had agreed to go to the cinema together when Little Bei’s movie was released.

Although Director Lu was busy, he still made a trip there. He was worried about delegating the task to others, so he came personally to explain the movie’s story to Xiao Wu.

After watching the movie, Xiao Wu started crying and hiccupping, saying that his sister was too pitiful. After crying, he fell asleep.

Director Lu: “…”

For the first time, he began to doubt his decision. Although Xiao Wu was indeed a rare musical genius, he was very young. Was he too impulsive?

Just as Director Lu started to worry and even wondered whether he should salvage the situation by finding someone else to help him, Xiao Wu woke up and got to work.

He had already learned how to compose from Ji Buwang, but his hands were too short and his strength was limited. The speed at which he wrote couldn’t keep up with his brain, so he rarely wrote.

However, he would record the song down and write it down later.

Perhaps it was because Little Bei was acting in the movie, but the emotions flowed naturally, and his speed was faster. Very quickly, he completed the initial composition in half a day.

Half a day later, everything was settled.

When Director Lu was notified by Mu Jingzhe, he thought he was dreaming. When he received the end product, he still had some doubts.

After all, it was too fast. However, when he heard it, he found out why geniuses were called geniuses.

Director Lu was overjoyed. He couldn’t help but hug Xiao Wu and spin in circles while laughing maniacally. Then, he planted a heavy kiss on Xiao Wu. “Xiao Wu, you’re really a darling. You must remember Uncle Lu. You must work with Uncle Lu more in the future.”

Director Lu was so excited that his face flushed red. He then walked away, leaving Xiao Wu touching his own face while feeling extremely aggrieved.

Uncle Lu’s beard was really prickly, not at all as wonderful as when Mommy kissed him!

Xiao Wu deliberately wiped his face. For the next few days, he didn’t let Mu Jingzhe kiss the cheek that Director Lu had kissed. It was only after half a month that he slowly forgot about it.

While Mu Jingzhe was busy, Tang Moling was busy as well.

He spent two days accepting the fact that Ji Buwang had woken up. He struggled to accept the changes that would follow and finally came to a conclusion: His uncle was the rightful heir. If he wanted to take back his power, he had nothing to say.

Although it was difficult, he could only accept it. He didn’t dare fight with his uncle, nor did he want to become enemies with him.

In that case, there was no way he could give up on Mu Jingzhe. He couldn’t possibly lose both the woman and the money, right?

If he did not only lose his status as the heir, but Mu Jingzhe also became his aunt, he would really go crazy.

Even though his uncle’s attitude was strange and he seemed to like Mu Jingzhe, he probably wouldn’t be ruthless to him out of pity.

After Tang Moling thought about it, he went to look for Ji Buwang. Through their conversation and asking around, he verified that Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang had yet to confirm their relationship.

However, he also knew that Mu Jingzhe was indeed closer to Ji Buwang than she was to him. Besides, his uncle seemed to be getting along well with the children.

Tang Moling only realized what was going on after seeing so many children’s books in the old residence, including in the study.

He said he liked Mu Jingzhe, but he didn’t seem to have considered the five kids.

He had forgotten about them for the time being. Firstly, he felt that the five kids were ridiculously mature beyond their years. Secondly, they had their own capabilities and didn’t need him to worry about them at all.

He subconsciously ignored them, but his uncle didn’t seem to be doing the same. He was proactively trying to build a good relationship with the children.

Tang Moling subconsciously reflected on himself and felt that he wasn’t thorough enough. He didn’t feel too guilty, though. He had neglected them, but that didn’t mean that he would not care about the children in the future, nor would he object to Mu Jingzhe raising them.

Given his own experience growing up, he definitely wouldn’t mistreat the kids or anything. He would even be a good stepfather. However, he hadn’t considered any of this.

The only thing that comforted Tang Moling was that even though his uncle was so thorough, he was still just friends with Mu Jingzhe and had yet to successfully woo her.

He still had a chance!

Even though this was his uncle, he wouldn’t give up. He couldn’t possibly give up on Mu Jingzhe.

After Tang Moling saw Ji Buwang, the news of the Ji Family’s true heir, Ji Buwang, waking up spread like wildfire.

Tang Moling also received many greetings. Some people were probing, some were hinting at him to fight for power, and some were mocking him. There were all sorts of people.

It would be a lie to say that he didn’t care, and it would also be a lie to say that he didn’t feel bad. However, Tang Moling didn’t act impulsively, nor did he allow others to see him as a joke. Those people had ill intentions, and he didn’t fall for them. He kept defending his uncle.

His attitude was clear. Regardless of whether the heir was Tang Moling or his uncle, it was their family’s business. This wasn’t for outsiders to criticize. He really thought so too. Since his uncle and grandfather hadn’t taken back what was in his hands, he would continue to manage it. He would do his job well and take things one step at a time.

However, he had to speed things up with Mu Jingzhe.

Mu Jingzhe had been hiding from Tang Moling. Besides, Tang Moling was afraid that he would bump into Ji Buwang in the county, so he got anxious and went to Great Eastern Village to look for Mu Jingzhe.

Tang Moling felt that it had been some time since he’d canceled his engagement to Mu Xue. If he kept a low profile, the villagers wouldn’t say anything even if they saw him.

However, that was just wishful thinking on his part. He and Mu Xue had just broken off their engagement not too long ago, but even if it had been a few years, if he got together with Mu Jingzhe, everyone would still gossip about it.

However, Tang Moling was in too much of a hurry and had lost all sense of propriety, even forgetting Mu Jingzhe’s warning.
