Chapter 104: Meet the Parents
The day after Xia Moxiu returned to Xia's house, Lin Xinlan personally went to Xia's to find Xia Mohan and told him that she already knew about the scandal between him and Mulan on the Internet, and she also knew his thoughts, and her son should have fallen in love with the "Mulan who came from afar".
Lin Xinlan sat in front of her son and looked at him carefully, but she found that she didn't know the son in front of her so well.
"Mo Han, if you have her in your heart, tomorrow at noon, take her to the 'Phoenix Tower' together, and let her officially meet the elders of the Xia family. Lin Xinlan looked at her son and said, "If you bring her, I will recognize her as a daughter-in-law, and everyone in the Xia family will also recognize her; Otherwise, you would not be my son. ”
After Lin Xinlan finished speaking, she glanced at her son fixedly and left.
Xia Mohan recalled his mother's words, and knew that she must have felt that her behavior was too absurd and very disappointed in herself, right? But when she thought of her mother's obsession with "Mu Wanchun" and told her that she was willing to recognize "Mulan", Xia Mohan decided that no matter what, she would take Mu Wanchun to officially meet her mother tomorrow.
However, since the scandal, Mu Wanchun has never contacted him except for a phone call to question his inaction. Thinking about it, she didn't want to have too much entanglement with him for a long time, let alone have any emotional intersection with him. At this time, what kind of way can he think of to make her willing to go to the appointment?
Mu Wanchun's office.
After processing the important documents at hand, Mu Wanchun got up, moved his muscles and bones, and felt that his physical strength was indeed not as good as before. Fortunately, with Chu Huaijin and Xiao Yijing helping her take care of the company's affairs, she was not so busy.
Now, Mu Wanchun's two main businesses, "Mulan" jewelry and "Mulan" film and television, have long gained a firm foothold in S City, all of which benefit the silent efforts of her pair of friends.
Thinking of this, Mu Wanchun sat down again and sighed, hoping to find a breakthrough from Liu Qianlu as soon as possible and figure out the real cause of her father's death as soon as possible, and then she could leave here without any worries. As for the "Mulan" jewelry and "Mulan" film and television, they were originally the gifts she planned to give to that pair of friends, and they deserved it.
While he was pondering, his mobile phone rang, and it was Xia Mohan calling.
Mu Wanchun glanced at her phone and hesitated to answer. After thinking about it for a while, I finally took it. Although she didn't want to have too much to do with him, it didn't mean that she was afraid of him, or that she didn't dare.
"Hey, Mr. Xia, is there something wrong?" As soon as Mu Wanchun picked up the phone, his tone was very cold, even impatient.
Mu Wanchun's attitude, Xia Mohan had long expected it, he laughed, and said softly: "I really am, there is a little thing, I want to meet with my wife." ”
Hearing the title of "madam" coming out of Xia Mohan's mouth, Mu Wanchun only felt sarcastic, and suddenly felt a little annoyed, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Mu Wanchun spit out two words: "What's the matter?"
"It's about the Marquis George. Shamohan said.
Hearing George's name, Mu Wanchun's heart became even more angry: this George, since he made a phone call that day and told her that he was going to give her a "gift", he disappeared, thinking that he had run away, and left this mess for her and Xia Mohan to clean up.
"What's wrong with him? Could it be that he owes Mr. Xia money? However, you should know: he has divorced me a long time ago, and we have nothing to do with each other for a long time, and anything he does outside has nothing to do with me. After Mu Wanchun finished speaking, she wanted to hang up the phone.
"I know why George is always on business – he's looking for his biological father. I have here the clues he wants, but I have the conditions: tomorrow at noon, we will have dinner together at the 'Phoenix Tower', and I will tell you. Shamohan said.
"You ......" Mu Wanchun was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand how Xia Mohan could know about this. It seems that she still underestimated his means.
"Is it just a lunch?" Mu Wanchun didn't want to be alone with Xia Mohan, especially at a time like this, she didn't want to be seen again, which made people fall for themselves.
"Just having a lunch. However, in addition to you and me, there is also my mother. Xia Mohan said, "My mother, I want to see you." Last time I was at my mother's place in the suburbs, my mother was very unhappy about that meal. ”
Mu Wanchun wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. Xia Mohan meant that he wanted her to "meet her parents", right? Based on the momentum on the Internet, should the relationship between the two of them be determined? If so, then she should have gone even more, just taking advantage of the presence of a third person, let's make it clear.
"Good. I agree to go. Mu Wanchun happily agreed, which made Xia Mohan a little surprised.
Putting down the phone, Mu Wanchun felt that her body was stiff, and she regretted a little that she shouldn't have agreed to Xia Mohan. However, the clue of George's biological father is an important purpose for George to come to China, and it is also his mother's lifelong wish. In addition, if Xia Mohan really expressed her love to her, she also happened to show her heart in front of Lin Xinlan.
Although she thought so, Mu Wanchun felt a little irritable.
When Mu Wanchun came to the "Phoenix Building" and entered the private room, she only saw Xia Mohan alone, sitting in a huge room, looking down at a jewelry box placed on the table.
"You're here. As soon as Xia Mohan saw Mu Wanchun, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly got up, pulled a chair for her, and poured hot water.
"That, George's thing......" Mu Wanchun went straight to the point.
Xia Mohan smiled bitterly, a little lost: "George's matter, I will tell you." Just not now, wait until after lunch, I'll say. ”
Mu Wanchun retracted her gaze and looked away.
"I have a gift here that I want to give you. Xia Mohan said, putting the jewelry box in front of him into Mu Wanchun's hand.
When you open the jewelry box, you will see a set of jewelry. This set of jewelry was carefully selected by Xia Mohan from abroad and given to Mu Wanchun when they got married. This set of jewelry, which is set with diamonds, includes crowns, necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets, and is worth a fortune. At the wedding, Mu Wanchun wore this set of jewelry, looked at her lover standing side by side with her, and felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. She touched herself.
After they divorced, this set of jewelry has been kept in the Xia family.
Now, this set of jewelry, Xia Mohan took out the ring, he was afraid that he would frighten Mu Wanchun. However, she was still frightened.
Seeing this set of jewelry again, the past, like a flood that opened the floodgate, all rushed towards Mu Wanchun's head, she not only felt cold all over her body, she couldn't breathe, and even her hands holding the jewelry box trembled.
Gritting his teeth, Mu Wanchun forced the hot and humid tears not to gush out: "I'm sorry, this, it's too precious, I can't accept it." ”
Saying that, Mu Wanchun put down the jewelry box, got up, and was about to walk out.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lin Xinlan entered the private room. When she saw the jewelry on the table, she seemed to be carrying a mountain rock on her back. Lin Xinlan took a deep breath, then smiled and said, "Mo Han, aren't you stupid - Miss Mulan is in her name, but there is the largest jewelry store in S City, what kind of jewelry has she not seen?"
Xia Mohan pushed the jewelry box towards Mu Wanchun again, and he looked at his mother and Mu Wanchun with a smile: "Mom, if I want to show my intentions, I have to be more direct and thorough." You know, my son is not a dragger, and besides, my son is not young anymore. What's more, this set of jewelry should also have an owner, and she is also worthy of the owner of this set of jewelry. ”
Hearing her son say this, Lin Xinlan had to withdraw her eyes and sit solemnly, but she didn't feel good in her heart: this set of jewelry, no matter what, was used by her son's ex-wife, or used by them when they got married. Is it appropriate for him to give it to the newcomer in such a big way? Those who know the origin of this set of jewelry will naturally understand his intentions. However, is this really appropriate?
What's more, in Lin Xinlan's heart, she has always been ashamed of Mu Wanchun. However, since she fainted in the cemetery last time, Lin Xinlan had a thought in her heart: Mu Wanchun is still alive. She didn't know if it was just her fantasy or if it was real.
Lin Xinlan felt a little astringent in her heart, and she prayed silently: Late spring, in the end, the Xia family is the Xia family, and I lost you. If there is an afterlife, let me pay it back for you on my behalf.
"Yo, Mo Han is really generous, take out this set of jewelry at the bottom of the box, it seems that our Mo Han, this time, is it serious? It's just a pity that Mu Wanchun's affection is gone. As soon as Apei entered the private room, he saw the set of jewelry, and his mouth was filled with a sour smell.
"Is this the new sister-in-law that the eldest brother is looking for?" Xia Moxiu held his mother and joined in the fun.
Mu Wanchun saw Xia Huaqing and Xia Moxiu's mother and son pouring out of the private room, and her heart was blocked. She couldn't have imagined that Xia Mohan's good "meeting the elders" would also include Xia Huaqing and Ah Pei.
Sensing Mu Wanchun's rejection, Xia Mohan leaned over, patted Mu Wanchun's shoulder, and whispered, "It's just a meal, and it's over soon." ”
Mu Wanchun packed up her emotions, stood up, and Xia Mohan officially made an introduction to everyone one by one.
"Big brother is really a good eye! This sister-in-law, I also like it very much, it seems that it really fulfills the old saying: not a family, not a family. Xia Moxiu's words added some vitality to the dull atmosphere.
Appe coughed deliberately, and pulled Xia Moxiu's shirt under the table, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.
Xia Hua cleared his throat and looked around at everyone present, and finally his eyes shuttled between Xia Mohan and Mu Wanchun, and he said loudly: "Now, everyone is a family, so there are things that should be explained clearly as soon as possible, so as not to be confused in the future." Mo Han, I agree to your marriage, and I don't care about her previous relationship experience, I promise to make your wedding scenery infinite, even more than the wedding of you and Mu Wanchun back then. ”
Hearing Xia Huaqing say this, Mu Wanchun originally wanted to leave. But she knew that with Xia Huaqing's temperament, his words must be followed, so she might as well listen to him and see what the purpose of him and Ah Pei is. So, Mu Wanchun was indifferent, she sat with a smile on her face, looking at everyone.
"Dad, can you say these words later?" Xia Mohan noticed Mu Wanchun's strange appearance, and her expression at this time showed that she was not just angry.
Xia Huaqing waved his hand, ignoring his son's words, and continued: "But Mo Han, if you want me to let the Xia family approve your marriage, I have conditions. First: Your mother and I must divorce as soon as possible, and second: The 'Jiahe' you acquired should be handed over to Mo Xiu, who will be fully responsible. These two conditions are indispensable. ”
Appe listened, and showed a smug look. Xia Moxiu looked ignorant.
"Dad, I won't take over the family's business, my ideal is ......" Before Xia Moxiu finished speaking, his mother pulled his clothes fiercely and interrupted him.
"I disagree. Xia Mohan looked into his father's eyes, "You and your mother's affairs, you make your own decisions, and I won't get involved." However, 'Jiahe' is not from the Xia family, I have said this a long time ago. I'm just letting Summer take care of 'Jiahe' for the time being, and in the future, it will return to its owner. If Dad uses this to blackmail me to conform to your heart, then I'm afraid my son won't be able to do it. ”
"Xia Mohan, pay attention to what you say! If you don't hand over 'Jiahe' to Mo Xiu, I won't let this second-married woman enter our Xia family's door, you can try it!" Xia Hua slapped the table angrily, shaking the tableware on the table.
Xia Mohan got up, took Mu Wanchun's hand tightly, picked up the jewelry box with the other hand, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "If I knew that you would think like this, today, I wouldn't have run in vain." Whether you admit it or not, in this life, I will not marry her. ”
After speaking, Xia Mohan pulled Mu Wanchun and left the private room quickly.
