Chapter 88: She Doesn't Understand Him
When she was about to get off work, Mu Wanchun called Chu Huaijin and asked her to go to her villa in the name of reporting to her, and buy something to eat, drink and have fun on the way, and celebrate Xiao Yijing's thirtieth birthday.
"Yo, I'm so busy that I've forgotten his birthday. Chu Huaijin patted his head, "Don't worry, I am the ancestor of eating, drinking and having fun, leave this matter to me, even if you find someone, you just wait." Speaking of which, since Xiao Yijing's mother died, he hasn't had many birthdays. You have such ulterior motives, beware that he will be wrong, thinking that your conscience has found out and wants to eat back grass, then it will be troublesome. β
Mu Wanchun was amused by her: "You are not him, he doesn't have such a crooked idea as you." If you think too much about each other, you will lose a lot of fun. β
"Hmph, between men and women, how can there be so much pure friendship, just believe this kind of nonsense!" Chu Huaijin kindly reminded Mu Wanchun, if Xiao Yijing is really wrong, or Mu Wanchun is too idiotic, then their friends, I'm afraid they can't do it, right?
After hanging up the phone, Mu Wanchun immediately called Xiao Yijing and asked him to go to her villa at night, she wanted to celebrate his birthday with Chu Huaijin.
"It's just, tonight, is it convenient for youβdo your family members, or other friends, have appointments?" Mu Wanchun suddenly felt that she was making her own decisions.
"Nope. Since my mother passed away, my family has stopped celebrating my birthday. Even my dad doesn't necessarily remember this day. Xiao Yijing said very indifferently.
Mu Wanchun heard it in her ears, but she felt a little sad. For so many years, it was Xiao Yijing who gave her warmth, and her heart was all given to Xia Mohan, and she has been ignoring Xiao Yijing for so many years. Even if she treats him as a friend, she gives very little. Thinking of this, Mu Wanchun felt that her former self was really pitiful, hateful and pathetic.
Mu Wanchun decided: From now on, she will pay more effort and care to Xiao Yijing and Chu Huaijin, the friends of life and death, otherwise she will not even forgive herself.
After making a phone call, Mu Wanchun went back first, and after Xiao Yijing finished handling his work, he drove to Mu Wanchun's villa. At this time, Mu Wanchun and Chu Huaijin had already arranged everything, just waiting for this birthday star to come and eat cake and longevity noodles.
Chu Huaijin looked at Mu Wanchun, who was busy, and asked, "Wanchun, what do you think Xiao Yijing needs most now?"
"He needed a woman, a suitable person to marry. Mu Wanchun said without raising his head.
Xiao Ershao What he needs is not a marriage partner, what he needs is love. If he had only married for the sake of getting married, he wouldn't have waited until now, and he would still be alone. Chu Huaijin casually pinched a food and stuffed it into his mouth, "If he just finds a random woman to marry and have children just to reproduce, then he is a bad person, because that woman will not be happy." Are you willing to be an accomplice like that?"
Mu Wanchun was speechless. Chu Huaijin is right, as long as Xiao Yijing's heart is closed, no matter who he marries, it will be a tragedy for them.
This was Xiao Yijing's first time in Mu Wanchun's villa, and when he was brought in by the housekeeper, he saw that in addition to a beautiful birthday cake, there was a bouquet of white roses and a sparkling diamond ring on the table, as well as other food and a few bottles of wine.
"Xiao Yijing, are you moved?" Chu Huaijin said, putting his hand on Xiao Yijing's shoulder, "Then, the cake and roses were given by me, and the diamond ring was given by late spring." Although you are also old, even your first kiss is still there, and your first night is far away. But you at least have me and Late Spring, two brothers in distress!"
Xiao Yijing smiled movingly and said, "Yes, you are right, we are childhood sweethearts' brothers in distress." He deliberately bit the words "childhood sweetheart" a little harder.
Here, they don't have to be wary of others, they don't have to put on false masks, they can say whatever they want. With simple snacks, cakes and wine, three friends who have experienced life and death together will have a good time drinking wine.
After blowing out the birthday candle, Xiao Yijing closed his eyes and sincerely made a wish. Then, the cake was cut, and everyone laughed while eating and drinking.
When the atmosphere was about the same, Mu Wanchun still didn't control her mouth, she asked Xiao Yijing: "I saw Lusha crying and running away today." Don't you like a noisy girl like her? What do you think of my little sister, Zhao Huanting? I think she is interesting to you. β
When Chu Huaijin heard Mu Wanchun say this, he stepped on her under the table, causing Mu Wanchun to scream in pain.
"Xiao Yijing, don't listen to the late spring nonsense: there are too many people who like you, you can't all marry into the family, right? Besides, you don't like people, isn't marrying someone a curse?" Chu Huaijin patted Xiao Yijing on the shoulder and said, "Don't we have a gentleman's agreement: when I am 35 years old, I haven't sent myself out yet, and the two of us can make do with it." I'm not clingy, I don't ask you for money, and I don't need you to coax, how good I am!"
Chu Huaijin said, leaned on Xiao Yijing's shoulder, closed his eyes, and was drunk. She was probably so happy tonight, a little too much to drink.
Mu Wanchun looked at Xiao Yijing, whose face was also flushed and his eyes were a little foggy, and asked him: "You tell me, do you like Zhao Huanting? Are you willing to marry a woman like her? I tell you, I can see that she likes you! If you also like her, I will be a matchmaker......
Xiao Yijing shook his head and said, "In late spring, you might as well know me as well as Huai Jin." She knows my preferences, she knows what I want and what I don't want? The daughter of Vice Mayor Zhao, she is good at everything, but I don't, I don't want her! I don't want to be the son-in-law of a politician, it's too troublesome, even more troublesome than the daughter in the business circle. I'd rather choose, alone. How nice a person is......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yijing closed his eyes, hugged Chu Huaijin, collapsed on the sofa, and fell asleep.
Looking at Xiao Yijing like this, Mu Wanchun, who was already in a half-drunk state, felt even more unbearable. She walked out of the room and wanted to go outside to blow the evening breeze and sober herself up.
As soon as she walked into the yard, the housekeeper came over and told her: Xia Mohan, the president of the Xia family, came to visit and said that there was something important.
Hearing Xia Mohan's name, Mu Wanchun's wine was half awake.
"Take him to the parlor and tell him I'll be there later. Mu Wanchun said lightly.
Mu Wanchun washed up as quickly as possible, changed a set of clothes, and then walked into the living room.
"Have you drunk?" Xia Mohan's brow couldn't help but furrow, "Do you know how many pairs of eyes have been staring at you since you came to S City, they want to explore your origins, want to expose your details, attack you, ostracize you, and expel you." They want to see you, an outsider, how to climb and fall, how to be trampled under their feet......"
"Mr. Xia, come here late at night, I don't know what to do?" Mu Wanchun glanced to the side, and didn't look at Xia Mohan.
Since she didn't recognize Shamohan, and he didn't recognize her, didn't he feel too close when he spoke like this? Who did he think he wasβthe savior? Why did he speak to her in such a tone?
When Xia Mohan heard Mu Wanchun say this, her heart was sour and astringent: she thought that he hadn't recognized her yet, and was still pretending to be a partner in the mall with him, wanting to keep a proper distance, not wanting to share any confidant words with him, and not wanting him to enter her life.
"Marquis, are you still on a business trip?" Xia Mohan sighed and asked.
Mu Wanchun nodded: "Yes." Mr. Xia also knows that the current business is getting worse and worse, and we have just arrived, and we can't find better opportunities here, so we can only expand our territory. β
Xia Mohan nodded, but he didn't catch Mu Wanchun's words, he turned his head and asked, "Madam, the car parked outside, but the second son of the Xiao family, Xiao Yijing's?"
Mu Wanchun was stunned for a moment, and there was a burst of anger in his heart at the moment: "Yes, it's his car." Today is Friday, which happens to be his birthday, so I invited him to my home to express my care for my subordinates......"
Xia Mohan squeezed out a smile: "Madame's thoughts, don't explain to me. It's just that now, the marquis is not at home, and you invite subordinates of the opposite sex to come to your residence at night, which really leads to reverie. β
Mu Wanchun couldn't sit still, he was always like this, but a few words stimulated her and made her feel angry: "Between me and him, it doesn't seem to be in the way of Mr. Xia, right? Speaking of which, Mr. Xia hasn't told me yet-why are you visiting so late?"
Xia Mohan took out a document from the document bag he brought with him, and raised it at Mu Wanchun: "I know that Madam wants to occupy the business opportunity of S City, this is the evaluation report that I spent a week making. I went to your company as soon as I made it, but you're no longer there. I think the weekend, you should, be at home. But I couldn't wait to understand, and I wanted you to see and hear your thoughts as soon as possible, so I sent it over. β
Mu Wanchun got up, took the evaluation report, and browsed it. What makes her most excited is that Mu's main business, Mu Rushan's current economic support - Mu's real estate, is impressively listed. And it's in the first place.
Seeing this detailed report, Mu Wanchun's heart was almost happy. After she listened to Aunt Yun's words, the first person she wanted to take revenge on was Mu Rushan. The report sent by Xia Mohan was simply a relief in the snow, and it came too timely.
Suppressing the joy in her heart, Mu Wanchun casually put the report on the table: "Mr. Xia, I am a female streamer, and I have no experience in things in the shopping mall. Moreover, I am not greedy. Mr. Xia's gift, I'm afraid I don't dare to accept it. Besides, my husband is now away on a business trip, and such a major matter cannot be explained clearly on the phone. Finally, the most important thing is that we as a couple don't have that much money to manage such a big thing. β
Mu Wanchun's expression caught Xia Mohan's eyes, and he said quietly: "I said that I would be a good partner, and I just need the political forces behind my wife to add a fire." I happen to have what Madame doesn't have, and Madame has what I just don't. We complement each other's strengths and complement each other, which is very good, very good!"
Mu Wanchun couldn't help clapping her hands: "That's fine." It's just that I heard that Mr. Xia's wife is the daughter of the Mu family, why is the wife gone, and Mr. Xia doesn't care about the previous relationship, and even wants to carve up the only remaining property of the Mu family? β
The corners of Xia Mohan's mouth rose, he really wanted to applaud Mu Wanchun, she was really acting, and she always wanted to inadvertently inquire about her heart.
"It is in the nature of a businessman to chase profit. I'm a businessman, and what I care about is how much I pay and how much I get in return. I will try as long as the law allows. What's more, my wife and Mu Rushan have nothing to do with each other; If such a relationship can't be moved, then I, Xia Mohan, don't have to do business in S City. Xia Mohan's tone was very cold, "What's more, although that Mu Rushan is also the patriarch of the Mu family, he is my father-in-law's opponent." When my father-in-law was alive, he was not less angry with him. What Mu Rushan is holding in his hands now is just robbing my wife and father-in-law of their rights and interests. I did this, it was precisely my revenge on Mu Rushan, and it was also my desire to make up for the guilt of the deceased. β
Mu Wanchun nodded: "Very good." Then, when Mr. Xia needs me, just open his mouth. β
Xia Mohan raised his eyebrows: "My mother has told me a few times, and she said that the last time she invited her wife to her house for dinner, something unpleasant happened, and she couldn't get over it in her heart." She begged her wife to go to the humble house for lunch at noon tomorrow. β
Mu Wanchun immediately wanted to refuse, but when she saw Xia Mohan's starry eyes, she had to nod and agree.
"Yo, who is this? In the middle of the night, the third watch, alone in the boudoir, not afraid of the land of melons and plums, is it difficult to justify?" I don't know when, Chu Huaijin and Xiao Yijing have already come to the living room. The two of them also exude the smell of sweet wine.
