Chen Zhiwei and Liu Qingyue's falling out was unknown to Mu Jinyu, who had just entered the mansion and was exploring it.
Even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared about their fate.
Accompanied by Wen Rou, Mu Jinyu strolled around the lakeside garden-styled mansion for a long time, eventually remarking, "Wow. It truly deserves to be a 1.1 billion yuan mansion – this house, this lake, and this courtyard..."
After his remark, Mu Jinyu turned to look at the equally astonished Wen Rou and asked, "What do you think? Quite the eye-opener, right? I'm kind of thinking of living here. How about you?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Rou unconsciously nodded her head slightly.
Who wouldn't want to live in such a mansion? It's just that it's unaffordable.
After nodding, Wen Rou quickly realized and, fearing Mu Jinyu might suggest she stay, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's great, but I can't afford it. I wouldn't dare live here. Even if you let me stay for free, I'm not used to living alone."
"True," Mu Jinyu nodded slightly in agreement with Wen Rou's words.
The house was indeed too large; not only would it be uncomfortable for one person, but the expenses would also be significant. He really didn't need to live here for the time being.
Maybe one day, after he marries a hundred or eighty wives and has a dozen children, then it would make sense to move in.
Hehe...
Mu Jinyu chuckled softly, glancing at Wen Rou and chuckling again.
"What are you laughing at?" Wen Rou, seeing Mu Jinyu suddenly start laughing inexplicably, couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing," Mu Jinyu sneaked a look at Wen Rou, shook his head slightly, suppressing the smile on his face, but his eyes were still filled with amusement.
Then, taking Wen Rou's hand, he said, "Come on, let's go inside and look around."
With that, Mu Jinyu took a step forward, pulling Wen Rou along as he ran towards the house.
Wen Rou, feeling helpless, followed Mu Jinyu into the house. She glanced at her hand in Mu Jinyu's, her expression peculiar, yet she did not pull away or raise any objection.
...
Half an hour later.
Mu Jinyu emerged from Number One Villa, completely satisfied, leading Wen Rou with him.
Just as they were about to leave the complex, the security captain who had been anxiously waiting outside hurried up to greet them.
"Mr. Mu, this... we just... you know... I'm really sorry..."
The security captain, wearing an embarrassed smile, stammered out his words to Mu Jinyu.
He wanted to apologize to Mu Jinyu, fearing his earlier suspicions had upset him.
He knew that if Mu Jinyu took issue with his earlier actions, just a mere mention to the superiors would cost him his job.
So, full of anxiety, he had stayed at the main gate while Mu Jinyu was inside inspecting the house, waiting for a chance to speak favorably to Mu Jinyu as he left.
"I truly didn't mean to trouble you... Please don't mind it..."
Mu Jinyu looked at the security captain, whose hair was already partially gray. His expression unchanged, he just showed a slight smile and said, "Uncle, don't worry, it's alright. I won't blame you all."
"Really... really?!" The security captain looked at Mu Jinyu with a mixture of doubt and belief.
"Yes." Mu Jinyu nodded, "I have no reason to lie to you. You were just following the rules. You didn't hurl insults or get physical with me. What is there to blame you for?"
"Phew..." Hearing this, the security captain finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Mu Jinyu was not the arrogant wealthy type but approachable. He also broke into a smile and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I was truly afraid that you would hate us because of the repeated checks we did just now..."
Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "Uncle, go ahead with your work. We'll be leaving now. We'll talk some other time."
"Yes, yes…" The security captain stood there, watching as Mu Jinyu and Wen Rou walked away.
Mu Jinyu walked out of Seaview Garden, still thinking about the security captain's cautious and fearful attitude, and couldn't help but shake his head in resignation.
Did they see him as someone so petty and vengeful?
Though sometimes he did act narrow-minded, retaliating tenfold for anyone who crossed him, in most cases, his heart was quite broad.
Just like with a similar misunderstanding with security, why did he retaliate against the Xu Family's security, overcharging Xu Zhixin by ten million yuan and letting Xu Zhixin deal with them himself?
Because before he could even speak a few words with the Xu Family's security, they were ready to scold him and kick him out. With such disdainful treatment, why wouldn't he retaliate?
And the security at Seaview Garden, who also misunderstood and suspected him, treated him well throughout, always polite, always addressing him respectfully while asking to check again…
With such a decent attitude and just following the rules, even though there was a misunderstanding, would he be so narrow-minded as to make them lose their jobs?
Absolutely not, and there was no need for that.
Just like with the manager at the Face of Jade Exclusive Store, who was just following protocol without any abusive language or personal attacks. Their actions were merely to avoid losing several months' salary or even their job because of a moment's oversight.
If after clearing up the misunderstanding and receiving an apology, he still continued to trouble them, wouldn't that be too aggressive?
So, Mu Jinyu felt that although he might not be considered a good person, he was definitely not the worst kind of bad guy.
The principle he adhered to was simple: if others were good to him, he would return their kindness tenfold or a hundredfold; if they were not good to him, he would repay them a thousandfold or a hundredfold.
When he was doubted and pushed away at Xu Family Villa, he made them come and beg him afterward; when Old Man Gu favored Zhang Qiuhai during his birthday banquet, he made them regret deeply; when a casino tried to trick him, he swept away 1.1 billion yuan; when Li Shuyue at the Face of Jade store tried to trick him into buying a suit pretending to be a wealthy patron, he made her pay a heavy price.
And Wen Rou had been good to him, so even though he was extremely frugal, he was willing to spend ten yuan to buy her breakfast.
Further, after making 1.1 billion yuan at the casino, he was willing to pay off her gambling debt.
Mu Jinyu pondered over this constantly, feeling that it might not be accurate to consider himself a good man. He still needed to ask someone else.
He turned his head to look at Wen Rou beside him and asked, "Wen Rou, do you think I'm a good person?"
Wen Rou, upon hearing this, did not immediately answer his question. Instead, she glanced at his hand that had been holding hers steadily, and said softly, "Could you let go of my hand when you ask this question?"
"Oh." Mu Jinyu did not show any embarrassment, but reluctantly let go of Wen Rou's hand.
Her hand was indeed very comfortable to hold; no wonder he kept holding it and forgot to let go.
Wen Rou saw the expression on Mu Jinyu's face, chuckled softly, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, how others see you is their business. To me, you are a good person."
