Mu Tingzhou did not go abroad, nor did he receive any form of psychological treatment. When he returned to the imperial capital, he asked Xiao Zhao to buy a batch of good red sandalwood and carving tools, and then locked him in the room all day long and cut wood. He went downstairs to eat for three meals. No one was seen at other times. Xiao Zhao couldn't enter his room, and was curious about what the amnesia-lost movie emperor was creating, so he secretly checked the trash cans that Mu Tingzhou placed at the door. Unfortunately, Mu Tingzhou seemed to be guarding against him, and each piece of wood was made into wood chips with special equipment...

"Tomorrow's New Year's Eve, I'll go back there tonight. If you have nothing to do, come back on the eighth day of the lunar month."

After dinner, Mu Chong and Dou Jing stayed downstairs, and Xiao Zhao followed Mu Tingzhou upstairs.

Mu Tingzhou was not interested in Xiao Zhao's itinerary, and he walked straight to his room without hearing it. Xiao Zhao took a few steps to block his door. Looking at Mu Tingzhou's obviously thin face, Xiao Zhao said sarcastically with regret: "Don't say, you are a bit like that tutor. Since you can't let her go, go find her and make yourself look for her, and she can't see her. What's the use?"

"Get out of the way." Mu Tingzhou said indifferently, his voice without any emotion.

"Two things." Bypassing the emotional problem, Xiao Zhao directly reminded Mu Tingzhou: "First, tomorrow New Year's Eve, my uncle and aunt have been worried about you. You should accompany them to celebrate the New Year honestly and don't cause trouble. Second, February 14th is Valentine's Day, and women like it. If you still want to win back the princess, remember to prepare gifts in advance and don't miss the opportunity."

After saying that, Xiao Zhao was tactful and let him go in. However, seeing Mu Tingzhou closed the door coldly, Xiao Zhao's brows still jumped a few times. She couldn't figure out why she had to serve this inhumane old man. There were so many companies outside that wanted to poach him as an agent with high salaries.

In the room, Mutingzhou walked to the bed and sat on the ground.

In front of him was a wooden carving that had just begun to appear in the prototype. Mutingzhou picked up the wood carving, held a carving knife in his right hand, and lowered his head to carve. The curtains were half open, and outside the window was a cold winter night in the north. The cold wind whistled and the light inside the window was bright. However, the man sat down by the window, and was alone. Although he was in a bright room, his body was filled with a lonely and desolate atmosphere.

One and two swords, it was wrong. The man tried to save it. After the attempt failed, he gave up this piece and took another piece of sandalwood.

"Tingzhou, it's past ten o'clock, let's go to bed first." Dou Jing carefully advised his son outside the door.

Mutingzhou made a small move and looked at the wood carvings. He simply replied: "Okay."

After washing up, Mutingzhou turned off the lights and lay motionless on the bed, slimming his face and hiding in the darkness, and he didn't know when he would fall asleep.

On New Year's Eve, compared with the Mu family's desertedness, the Xu family seemed much more lively.

When they reunite at the end of the year, both Xu's families came to Mr. Xu's courtyard for the New Year. Mr. Xu is a master of calligraphy and cultivates his character and disdains businessmen, but he has a wife from a wealthy family and has two powerful sons. The eldest son Xu Xiu is talented and inherits his mother's business talent. He showed his strength at a young age. He uses the Xu family's wealthy family and his mother's dowry to start a business boldly. In just a few years, he grew up rapidly and became a celebrity in the business circle. His second son Xu Yi studied in a famous overseas financial school. After returning to China, he assisted his brother in establishing the current Xu Group.

The Xu family is getting more and more money, but Mr. Xu is getting more and more unhappy. The two sons are doing business, the eldest grandson is doing business, and the second grandson is going to be an agent. The third grandson is spoiled by his mother since childhood. He has no talent in doing business and calligraphy. He knows that he is fond of money and food. His only granddaughter is so cute that he has all kinds of famous brands. He can't count on calligraphy at all. If he doesn't think of a way, the Xu family's calligraphy will be lost.

Before the meal, Mr. Xu sat upright, and his eyes first fell on his eldest grandson Xu Lin: "The boss is over New Year's Eve? When will he bring his girlfriend back? Don't think that grandpa is too nagging. You are really not young now. Choose a marriage and give birth to a great-grandson for me. If you are two years later, I'm afraid I can't even hold the pen. How can I teach you children for you?"

Xu Lin inherited the advantages of his father Xu Xiu's facial features, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and his solemn face is not angry and powerful. As the current CEO of the group, Xu Lin is calm and restrained, has a cold personality, but is also very good at interpersonal communication. Once again, the old man urged him to get married. Xu Lin skillfully said perfunctorily: "I have started blind dates, and I will introduce you to you when I meet a suitable one."

Mr. Xu nodded and turned his head to remind his eldest son who was sitting on his left: "Look at it, don't let him fool me."

Xu Xiu nodded. His son is not young anymore and it is indeed time to start a family.

Mr. Xu's eyes moved towards his second grandson.

Xiao Zhao wore gold-rimmed glasses and smiled calmly, as if he could answer anything the elders said. Mr. Xu snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to him, and directly opened his third grandson Xu Duan. "Your elder brother is not close to women. You are too many Yingying and Yanyan around you. I heard that you have had a relationship with a female star named Yingying recently? Third brother, I warn you, I don't care about how you play outside, but if you dare to bring that kind of woman back, see how I deal with you!"

Xu Duan is from the second wife and was scolded by his grandfather. He lowered his head to be a good grandson. Mrs. Xu was a little unhappy and secretly glanced at the two nephews diagonally opposite. She envied the nephews for their ability, but also complained that their father-in-law was partial. Her son was just playing with a few little stars. Xiao Zhao changed his name to the entertainment industry. Why didn’t he scold her father-in-law?

"Grandpa, am I the most obedient, right? I never make you angry." Xu Lin smiled obediently.

There is only one granddaughter in the family. Mr. Xu has been favored since childhood, but when he thought of Mutingzhou, Mr. Xu frowned and said, "Study hard in the second half of the year, and if you dare to sneak back, I will deduct your pocket money." He doesn't like to go out, but he basically knows what the grandchildren have done. The girl is thin-skinned, so he doesn't point it out.

Xu Lin pouted, but she was happy. Mu Tingzhou no longer recognized any princess, so she could feel at ease for the time being.

The big family meeting was over, and after the dinner, he returned to the east courtyard of the eldest son, and Xu Xiu continued to have a small meeting with his two sons.

The boss was under his nose every day, and Xu Xiu had nothing to care about, so he only asked Xiao Zhao: "How is Tingzhou's condition?"

Xiao Zhao sighed and leaned against the sofa and said, "I always think I am an ancient person."

Xu Xiu observed his son: "He has a confused memory. Why did you accompany him to be an assistant for the newcomer?"

When Mu Tingzhou had just had an accident, Xu Xiu briefly learned about the situation. Mingwei was indeed beautiful and had temperament. Her son worked as an agent for Mu Tingzhou in order to play with the friendship he had since childhood. He suddenly felt willing to take care of Mingwei before. Xu Xiu always felt that his son might have some other thoughts.

Xiao Zhao replied frankly: "I want to take care of Tingzhou, and Mingwei is a good person. She has helped a lot this time, and I am willing to help her."

"It's best if this is the case. The old man is disgusted with female celebrities. Don't be angry with him anymore." Xu Xiu warned. His wife died of illness shortly after giving birth to her second child. The second child has never enjoyed maternal love since she was a child, so he was slightly indulged, but this indulgence is limited. Besides, women in the entertainment industry are very innocent, and the old man's disgust is not unreasonable.

My father thought too much, Xiao Zhao was too lazy to explain. Mingwei was a woman Mutingzhou treated him especially, so he didn't have that kind of mind.

After the Chinese New Year, all large and small enterprises resumed normal operations.

"The Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty" is about to be broadcast in March. Mingwei wants to cooperate with some publicity and return to the imperial capital after the fifth day of the first lunar month at home. This is also the first time she has returned after being "abandoned" by the actor Mutingzhou. The pick-up hall is full of reporters. Mingwei wraps her scarf and wears sunglasses, and tries to ignore those embarrassing questions. Mingqiang expects that there will be many people, so he comes to see her daughter. The bodyguard leads the way. He protects his daughter tightly in his arms. The handsome and strong man is misunderstood as a personal bodyguard, attracting a lot of shots.

"A group of madmen." Finally got into the car, Mingqiang took off his coat and stared out the window and cursed. What does his daughter mean that he was abandoned by Mu Tingzhou? They forgot the videos of the Mu family media press conference asking his daughter for help? They only wrote random words and squirted, just jealous of his daughter's beauty, jealous of his daughter's reputation, and distorted the facts if they couldn't find other black spots, and vented jealousy.

"Vivi is good at filming. The more people want to step on us, the more glorious we will be. What is the best actor? Vivi is good and bring a movie queen for my father." Mingqiang said with a sip of water, staring at the tiger's eyes.

"It's so easy to get the actress queen." Ming Wei smiled and glanced at the increasingly smaller reporters at the airport. Ming Wei leaned against her dad's shoulder and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm not that fragile. I'm not that fragile. If you have the skill to care about those things, it's better to concentrate on preparing for the next drama." Devoting work and enriching yourself is also an effective way to quickly get out of the broken heart.

After moving out of the apartment, Mingwei will stay with her best friend Lin Nuan for the time being.

The next day, Lin Nuan saw Mingqiang away, and no longer cared about it, pressed Mingwei to sit on the sofa, asking about her and Mu Tingzhou.

Mingwei was calm and didn't want her best friend to worry about her.

Lin Nuan was disappointed when he didn't find out about pink bubbles: "I thought you and the tutor would spark. When I watched those videos of you both, I wanted to be a princess."

Mingwei pretended not to agree: "You are not allowed to wear skirts, you are not allowed to get too close to young male celebrities, you are not allowed to go karaoke at night, you are not allowed to stay up late to watch TV series, oh, and you also have female fans who are ready to swear at any time. Do you really want to be his princess for such a man?"

The male ticket is precious, and the free price is higher. When Mutingzhou learned that there were so many Mingwei in his romance, Lin Nuan immediately sympathized with Mingwei again and said unfairly: "That day I opened a small account and sweared to you. My Mingwei is so beautiful, and I have a best friend with such a background. Do you need to take advantage of other people's popularity? Wait, tomorrow I will give Dongying a big gift to the boss lady of Dongying, so that Dongying can praise you more!"

Mingwei knew she was joking, so she passed by Xiaoxiao.

On February 12th, there was an internal preparation meeting for the press conference in "The First Auxiliary of the Ming Dynasty", and the leading actors were notified to attend.

After receiving the notice, Mingwei naturally had to cooperate. However, when she thought of seeing Mu Tingzhou again, Mingwei felt heavy and bitter. As soon as the bitterness came up, Xiao Zhao called: "I just asked him, he would not attend the meeting."

He won't go...

There is no need to meet, no need to worry. Mingwei should be happy, but for some reason, she can't be happy.

She was curious about the reason and how he was doing recently, but she couldn't ask a word.

She was silent. Xiao Zhao could guess the reason. When he looked at Mu Tingzhou's door, he hesitated for a few seconds and said obscurely: "He is still the Grand Tutor."

Mingwei hung up the phone as if she was escaping.

On the day of the preparation meeting, Mingwei did not meet Mu Tingzhou. She returned to the apartment in the evening, but received a call from an unfamiliar number.

Mingwei hesitated to answer.

"Vivi, it's me, Cheng Yao."

The long-lost voice of her ex-boyfriend came from her phone. Mingwei wanted to laugh for no reason. What is this? The sound she wanted to hear could not be heard...

"Vivi, I'm in Lin Nuan's car now. If you want, I want to go up and find you and have a chat." In the back seat of the car, ignoring Lin Nuan's angry eyes, Cheng Yao whispered, a little begging: "Vivi, I finally found an opportunity to see you secretly, don't refuse, okay?"
