Chapter 737 Billionaire
The three friends were teasing Alistair Mu.
Annabelle Xia simply smiled and didn't say anything much. The woman was the same for the past year.
However, no one except the little boy knew how much she missed her man.
At that time, Alistair Mu spoke, "Cut your bullshit, I brought my son. Hurry and prepare your red
packets!" After that, he carried Shi Guang from Annabelle Xia's arms and showed off to his friends.
"Shi Guang, my son! You guys better give an appropriate amount!" Alistair Mu said overbearingly.
Annabelle Xia simply chuckled from the side.
At that time, Jerry Kuang looked at him and shook his head, "It is beyond our wildest dream that you
would be the first father amongst us four! Are you sure that is not your daughter?"
"Of course, one hundred percent!" Alistair Mu said proudly, "I'm afraid his genetic is too strong that he
is so good looking. But you don't have to be jealous, just find one with good genetic and you might
have a chance as well!"
The man was just a big show off!
At that time, Sean said, "Jerry, I remembered you mentioning something about being in law with
Alistair. Now his son is already over here, shouldn't you try a little harder?"
Jerry Kuang frowned, "This is just not something I can rush!"
After hearing him, all the friends broke into laughter.
Jerry Kuang ‘snatched' the baby from Alistair Mu's arms and went away to play with him. Alistair Mu
just couldn't stay restful and he followed along.
Only Thomas Mo and Annabelle Xia were left.
At that time, Thomas Mo looked at her and said, "I am pleased to see Alistair like this. The man had
finally came back!"
Annabelle Xia smiled gently. The woman fixed her eyes on her man and son all the time.
Thomas Mo lifted his wine glass and took a sip, "I believe Alistair had never told you what happened
after you left!"
Annabelle Xia knew the friend was trying to tell her something.
She turned her head towards Thomas Mo and asked, "What happened?"
"Actually, the moment Alistair noticed that you were gone, he had completely lost it. Getting drunk
every day, looking for you whenever he got sober. The man didn't even eat or sleep and that was the
first time I saw him in decadent!"
When Annabelle Xia heard Thomas Mo, she was pained. It was difficult for her to imagine such a proud
man having a side like that…
"For your sake, he gave up his revenge towards the Xia family. He said you are more important to him
than anything in this world. And after you left, he left everything behind, his family, his career, his
company and travelled all around the world for three months to look for you!"
Alistair Mu had never told her anything about that.
Thomas Mo took another sip on his wine and continued, "You shouldn't blame him. Had anyone been
in his shoe one year ago, they wouldn't be able to take in everything meekly. Ralphy Xia had gone too
far, trying to incriminate Alistair and get him in jail. He could give up on his company, everything he built
up, betray the trust of all thousands of his employees and their family, but he couldn't risk you.
Therefore, he decided to fight back…"
Now that Annabelle Xia heard that from Thomas Mo, she felt a great burden in her heart.
Alistair Mu had invested so greatly in their relationship. Not only that, the man had sacrificed so much
more than herself.
Annabelle Xia's eyes turned misty as she looked back at Alistair Mu and Shi Guang. She wasn't
regretful but thankful.
She was thankful that she met such a man, and thankful that he loved her and never gave up on her…
"I am in no place to comment about what happened. But Annabelle, I really want to tell you something.
Alistair is sincere and he had really changed a lot for you. I hope you can appreciate him. This is the
first and only time I see him working so hard for something, someone…"
Annabelle Xia nodded, "Don't worry, I promise you I will!" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Alistair Mu had been fighting for our relationship all these while. And from now onwards, I will be the
one that protects it…" Annabelle Xia enunciated.
When Thomas Mo heard that and saw her determined smile, he knew he had delivered his message.
The man lifted his glass and said, "I wish the two of you happily ever after!"
"Thank you!" Annabelle Xia clinked with his glass.
After the toast, all of a sudden Annabelle Xia felt that she relaxed her heart.
She was no longer in hesitation or conflict with herself. She knew she had gotten her answer.
And once the woman had an answer, she would tread her path unapologetically…
After fooling around for some time, the dinner party officially commenced.
It was a surprise meant for Annabelle Xia.
Alistair Mu went up the stage. The man was wearing a full suit and he exuded a resplendent aura. After
the past year, the man seemed to be more down to earth and humbled. He looked at the crowd and
cleared his throat, "Thank you all for coming. Actually, I invited all of you here for a very special reason.
I have something to announce!"
Everyone looked at him quietly.
They were curious with Alistair Mu's solemn attitude.
At that time, Alistair Mu looked at the woman down the stage and he stretched out his hand towards
her. When Annabelle Xia saw his gesture, she carried their son and walked up the stage.
The family of three stood on the stage. The man was gorgeous, the woman beautiful and the baby was
simply adorable.
They looked like a pretty picture.
"This is my wife, Annabelle Xia. I believe all of you know her already. As for this…" Alistair Mu looked at
Shi Guang and his eyes were gleaming in love, "This is my son, also the heir to Yun Rui. I wish to
introduce him to everyone!"
The moment he mentioned that, the crowd was in a furore.
For the past year, Alistair Mu had been laying low and there wasn't any news about him at all. After the
marvelous wedding, he simply disappeared. No one heard about the news that Annabelle Xia was
pregnant. But now, they were seeing his son.
But that was just the norm for these esteemed socialites, they were good in staying confidential.
The crowd looked back to the stage and listened to the man.
After Alistair Mu made his announcement, Mu Zhen went up the stage.
"Since Alistair started it, I wish to take this chance to announce something as well!"
The man had gotten everyone's attention. Mu Zhen looked at Alistair Mu, Annabelle Xia and Shi Guang
and he said with a contended smile, "From today onwards, I officially pass the baton of Mu Group to my
son!"
The moment he said that, the crowd was stirred. You so Alistair Mu's son, Shi Guang would be the heir
of the two companies!
The little boy was born to such a princely background, how envious!
Just a few months old and his net worth was at the very top of the pyramid!
The guests were just envious.
"Dad!" Alistair Mu looked at Mu Zhen. He hadn't expected the father to announce that so suddenly and
he was just caught off guard.
Mu Zhen simply chuckled, "I am not young anymore and it is time to leave things to you. I shall retire
and enjoy my days!"
Alistair Mu smiled.
He had readied himself to take over the Mu Group.
When the man founded Yun Rui, it was his pride to prove his own competence and not rely on his
family.
And after that, he had proven himself with the result from Yun Rui that he even surpassed his father. It
was only normal for the father to pass the family business to him.
Alistair Mu smiled and nodded. The man was ready to take up the new challenge.
At that time, someone called out from the crowd, "President Mu, do you want to take a family photo?"
"Sure!" Mu Zhen said.
And so, the grandmother and madam Mu went up the stage as well. They carried Shi Guang and
caught this most precious time of their life. However, they did not show his face. That was Alistair Mu's
protection for his son.
It was a lively party.
The friends, colleagues and families were giving them their blessings.
However, not all of them were sincere. Alistair Mu couldn't care less about that. The only thing the man
wanted was to share and made the identity of Annabelle Xia and Shi Guang clear.
At that time, Dorie and Su approached them.
"Annabelle!" Dorie called out to her happily.
The moment Annabelle Xia turned around and saw Dorie and Su coming together, she smiled, "Su,
Dorie, you guys are here!"
"Of course, president Mu went all the way to invite us. Of course we must come!" Dorie giggled.
At that time, she looked at the little baby in Annabelle Xia's arm and she was just excited, "My darling,
your godmother is here, give me a hug!" And she went forward and took Shi Guang away.
The little boy was chuckling happily. He seemed to have taken a liking towards Dorie and he was
having a good time with her.
At that time, Su looked at Annabelle Xia and the man was at ease, "Long time no see!"
"Yeah, long time no see. Su, you are a superstar now!" Annabelle Xia said with a smile.
Su smiled back, "What superstar, don't tease me!"
Annabelle Xia chuckled, "I heard even the Hollywood filmmakers are inviting you over. How about it?
What is your thought on that?"
The moment Su heard that, he looked to at Dorie and his eyes were gleaming in love, "That will
depend on a certain someone!"
Dorie simply carried Shi Guang and fooled around with him everywhere.
When Annabelle Xia followed Su's gaze and saw Dorie, she understood him.
The two of them exchanged a look and smiled.
Su didn't mention anything about Annabelle Xia's disappearance. At times, people should just keep
things to themselves. There was no need to make things so clear.
It was important to have tacit understanding with each other.
Soon after, Covi came over as well.
"Annabelle, Dorie!" She cheered.
The moment Annabelle Xia saw Covi, she smiled, "And here I thought you aren't coming!"
Covi chuckled, "President Mu made a special invitation for me. How can I not come?"
As she said that, she looked at the baby Dorie was carrying and she rushed over immediately, "Hurry
and let me have a look!"
The moment Covi saw Shi Guang, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "He looks just like a girl!"
Annabelle Xia, "…..."
Almost everyone said Shi Guang looks like a girl. The mother was starting to get restless about
that!
