MTL - Not Spare the Years-Chapter 48

In the evening, after Mu Guocheng returned home, he took the initiative to leave Shen Huaixing for dinner.

Mu Xueyi also went downstairs. This was the first time she had eaten at a table with her family after returning home.

Mu Ruqing didn't come back today due to something at the company. Although Zhong Wan was at home, she didn't come to the table because she was not from Mu's family. Only she, Mu Guocheng, and Shen Huaixing ate the meal.

Mu Guocheng behaved very kindly, put a few chopsticks for Mu Xueyi and Shen Huaixing, and asked Shen Huaixing: "I have been busy with the company since I returned to China, and I don't have time to visit your father in person, I don't know Principal Shen. Will you blame me?"

Shen Huaixing replied with a polite smile: "Of course not. My father asked me to say hello to you. He said that he would come to Mu's house to see you and Xueyi when he was free on the weekend."

Mu Guocheng nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Xueyi has only been home for two days, if she says something inappropriate when you two get along, don't mind, she will always be at Mu's house in the future, and I will teach her slowly. "

Shen Huaixing immediately said, "No, Xueyi didn't say anything inappropriate."

Mu Guocheng turned his eyes, half-squinted and looked at Mu Xueyi, who had been sitting silently beside him, his voice was low: "Really? Xueyi, are you really that good?"

Mu Xueyi picked up the red wine bottle on the table and filled Mu Guocheng's wine glass with half a glass.

"...I have already come back. From now on, I can only rely on you and Teacher Shen."

Mu Guochengpi took the wine glass with a smile on his face, "It's good that you know."

After drinking up the red wine in the glass, Mu Guocheng sighed deeply, and said to Shen Huaixing earnestly: "Mr. Shen, don't think that my second daughter is so old and can't accomplish anything, in fact, she is very smart, I used to like to stay in the comfort zone and I was too lazy to use my brain. You will definitely be very interesting living with her, not boring." Shen Huaixing smiled and nodded: "Yes, I know very well that Xueyi has always been a very smart child. ."

A meal was almost eaten up in the on-and-off chat of several people unknowingly.

Shen Huaixing left after eating. The servants put away the dinner plates, the banquet was over, and Mu Guocheng was also ready to get up and leave.

Mu Xueyi suddenly stopped him: "Dad."

Mu Guocheng stopped when he got up, and looked at Mu Xueyi suspiciously: "What's the matter, is there something?"

"Are you busy tonight?" Mu Xueyi's eyes dipped under the dim light of dinner, looking soft and pitiful, "If you're not busy...I want to have two more drinks with you."

Mu Guocheng looked at the weak Mu Xueyi in front of him and sighed without a trace.

No matter how he ignored this daughter, she was still his own blood after all. Besides, she is ill now, and the cause of the illness was caused by a car accident arranged by his father. Although he attacked Zhou Zhenyue, he still felt a little guilty at this point.

He could actually guess what Mu Xueyi wanted to do.

It's nothing more than losing Zhou Zhenyue's backer, and now I want to seize the opportunity to ease this father-daughter relationship.

Mu Guocheng sat back in his chair, waved his hand, and motioned for the housekeeper to bring new red wine.

The housekeeper unscrewed the cork, and when he was about to pour it, Mu Xueyi stretched out his hand to take the wine bottle, and carefully poured the wine into Mu Guocheng's wine glass with his own hands.

Mu Guocheng looked at the daughter in front of him, his eyes slowly moved down again, and landed on her gauze-wrapped hand holding the wine bottle.

"Dad," Mu Xueyi's voice added a bit of tenderness to the sound of the pattering red wine hitting the glass wall, "It seems that this is the first time we have been drinking together like this."

Mu Guocheng did not answer, but silently stared at the slowly rising wine noodles in the goblet. After Mu Xueyi poured it for Mu Guocheng, he poured it for himself, saying while pouring: "Actually, I have always wanted to have a drink and a meal with you like today. It's just that I used to be timid and always treated you like this. I'm a little scared. Now that I think about it, the relationship between me and you has reached this point, and most of it is my responsibility. "

Mu Guocheng smiled casually, picked up the wine glass, and touched Mu Xueyi's glass, "I am very relieved that you can think so. Anyway, you are also a child who grew up in front of me, I Although I'm not as close to you as my sister, I'm definitely not hostile. If you were so sensible earlier, why would I have to go around so much to force you? "

"Yes, you're right." Mu Xueyi took the cup and drank it to show her sincerity, "I also thought about it carefully when I was in the hospital, I really can't blame you for the car accident, it's all my fault. Emotions are overwhelmed."

After Mu Guocheng got to the steps, he followed it down, and nodded in relief: "You just want to understand, and live with Shen Huaixing well in the future. As long as you get along well with her, our Mu family and the school of Anyang University of Finance and Economics will be fine. Enterprise alliances can only progress smoothly, understand?"

"I understand," Mu Xueyi lowered her head meekly, and took the initiative to touch Mu Guocheng's glass with a wine glass. When the walls of the glass collided, she sensiblely lowered the mouth of her own glass by an inch, "I listen to everything. Your."

When Mu Guocheng saw that Mu Xueyi had changed back to his previous submissive appearance, he chuckled and held up the cup.

The father and daughter drank for a few more rounds, and Mu Xueyi talked about some childhood memories and the days when he was always left out. Mu Guocheng listened quietly, with no expression on his face, so he couldn't tell if he was moved.

Later, seeing that it was getting late, Mu Guocheng said that he still had business to deal with, so they separated.

The servants had already rested, and Mu Xueyi picked up the wine glass and went to the kitchen to clean it by herself. She propped her arms on crutches and slowly washed with one hand.

After washing the first one, the kitchen door was opened and Zhong Wan walked in.

"I'm afraid something will happen. I've been listening to you and your father chatting at the stairs just now." Zhong Wan looked around cautiously, seeing that there was no one around, and continued, "Why are you so low-key? Do you want to please him? Are you trying to deal with Mu Ruqing by competing for favor?"

"Do you think so?" Mu Xueyi put the washed cup on the table and chuckled, "If you think so, my dad must think so too. He must think that I did this today to please him, and Mu It's like a sunny fight for favor."

Zhong Wan raised her eyebrows: "You did it on purpose?"

"Yes, it was intentional." Mu Xueyi supported the platform and turned around to face Zhong Wan, "If I do this tonight, he will definitely feel that I am helpless now and can only hug his thigh. ."

Zhong Wan: "I heard you say a lot about your childhood, and I thought you were trying to soften your father's heart by saying this."

Mu Xueyi shook his head.

"If you think too much, he won't be soft-hearted just because I say this. He will only think that I am trying to please him."

"I just want him to feel that I'm in a panic."

Zhong Wan looked at the calm Mu Xueyi in front of her, feeling as if everything was under her control. Little by little, we plan, plan, and contemplate.

It's very different from the snow jacket in my memory.

It was as if he had released another personality from his body. The surface is still soft and weak, but in the bottom of his heart he is slowly thinking about how to destroy the hundred-legged giant insect in front of him.

Zhong Wan took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Then what are you going to... how to deal with Mu Ruqing?"

Mu Xueyi turned on the faucet, put the other glass under the water, and turned the glass with one hand, "It's not easy to deal with my sister. What you want me to do is the easiest way to destroy her."

Zhong Wan was silent, staring at the ground.

Mu Xueyi raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Wan: "What's wrong, Wanwan, don't want to leave her?"

Zhong Wan pursed her lips and looked at Mu Xueyi firmly: "I won't sympathize with her. She was the one who persuaded your father to use you to steal Zhou's documents, the car accident that Mr. Zhou experienced three years ago. It has nothing to do with her. She has done so many bad things, and she deserves what happens."

The faucet is turned off.

Mu Xueyi put the cup back in the cup holder, her eyelashes were very low, and in the not-so-bright kitchen light, it was as deep as a well.

After being silent for a while, she asked softly, "Did you say everything you told Mu Ruqing last time?"

Zhong Wan: "As I said, she will go to that auction."

Mu Xueyi snorted and asked again: "Then I asked you to help check. In addition to the real estate, shares, and assets locked up in investments, the current property she has available is probably...?"

Zhong Wan thought about it for a while, and then said a number: "Around fifty million."

"Okay," Mu Xueyi smiled softly at Zhong Wan, "Don't worry, I told Ayue, I'm already helping you go through the relevant procedures for going to the UK, and I've rented a house in London. After this auction, You can go."

Zhong Wan was a little worried: "But if I leave like this, Mu Ruqing will definitely doubt you, and then embarrass you..."

"I know," Mu Xueyi kept a slight smile on her lips, "I'm looking forward to that day too much."

Listening to this, look at the smile on her face again.

For the first time in more than 20 years, Zhong Wan felt that she was starting to be a little afraid of Mu Xueyi.

Mu Xueyi wiped his hands with a dry towel and patted Zhong Wan's shoulder, "It's getting late, I'm going back to my room, go to bed early."

Zhong Wan swallowed, "...Okay, you, you too."

Mu Xueyi put down her hands, put on her slippers, and walked slowly around Zhong Wan with a cane to the stairs.

Her legs and feet are very inconvenient, but fortunately, she is not in a hurry, she moves slowly, and she is not as anxious as impatient people.

When she passed the dining room block and entered the living room, Zhong Wan stopped her behind her:

"Snowsuit!"

Mu Xueyi stopped, leaned on the crutches, and turned around with a habitual tenderness in his eyes.

"What's the matter, Wanwan?"

"I..." Zhong Wan actually didn't know why she wanted to stop her. She seemed to have a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know which one to choose. In the end, she suppressed the emotion in her voice and asked, "...even if I won't be at Mu's house anymore, we're still friends, right?"

Mu Xueyi looked at her, the corners of her lips curved, and she nodded with a smile: "Of course, we will always be friends."

She answered neatly, and her manner was gentle, even in a friendly tone.

But Zhong Wan understood that it was different.

In the previous snow clothes, his eyes were clean, like a cool white open in a glass, and he could see the bottom at a glance.

Now she...

It was as if... there was no way to see through her eyes again.
