Chapter 341: Alienation (1)
Qiao Yingying felt that Guan Mufeng seemed to be a little different recently, not only did she no longer use various reasons to stay in Yushan, but she would even let her sleep in her own room on weekends. She was a little confused, but she was happy to be busy with her graduation thesis during this time.
At the beginning of June, Qiao Yingying successfully passed the thesis defense, and her graduation work was also selected to be exhibited at the school's achievement exhibition, and she was officially notified of her being sent to graduate school. Because she was still unsure before, she didn't tell Guan Mufeng, so she wanted to share the good news with him as soon as possible, and went directly to Yushan.
Because it was not the time she usually came on weekends, Aunt Liu, who was cleaning the yard, was a little surprised to see her, and hurriedly left the work in her hand to wash some fruit for her to eat.
"Oh, Mr. Guan said that he wouldn't come back for dinner today, and I didn't prepare it. Yingying, wait a minute, I'll go to the supermarket! Aunt Liu was about to go out as she spoke, but Qiao Yingying hurriedly stopped her.
"No need, Auntie, I've already eaten it." Qiao Yingying said, and asked curiously, "Isn't Mr. coming back tonight?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Guan seems to be very busy recently, and he often doesn't come back for dinner, and I haven't turned on the stove for several days." Aunt Liu replied.
Sir is so busy, huh? But I haven't heard him say it. Qiao Yingying thought in her heart, and said to Aunt Liu: "Since this is the case, Auntie, you should go back early, I will wait for Mr. to come back." ”
Aunt Liu saw that everything was done, so she nodded, and packed a plate of fruit snacks from the kitchen and put them on the table for Qiao Yingying, before leaving work.
***************
Guan Mufeng's meeting with Tang Weiyuan tonight did not disperse until late at night, and after walking out of the top clubhouse like a palace and getting in the car, the smile on his handsome face disappeared without a trace, raised his hand and loosened his tie, unbuttoned a few more buttons, closed his eyes and rested, but his brows were still slightly furrowed.
He was wrapped in a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol, Lao Wu looked in the rearview mirror, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but thinking of what they were going to do, he looked away fiercely.
Back home, Guan Mufeng rubbed his eyebrows, went upstairs with some unsteady steps, pushed open the door and saw a small head lying on the bookcase, he still had some chaotic thoughts suddenly sobered up a little, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously curved.
actually took the initiative to come, it seems that his method is really effective.
walked over and picked her up gently, he looked at her in a daze as if he said something, and the next second he fell asleep again, and his heart was quietly relieved. Putting her on the bed, he went to take a shower as soon as possible, and then went back to the bedroom to sleep with her.
The next morning, Qiao Yingying woke up late, and Guan Mufeng had already packed up and was ready to go out. Seeing that he was leaving, she hurried downstairs and blocked him.
"Sir, when are you coming back tonight?" She looked at Guan Mufeng with big eyes and asked.
Guan Mufeng paused for a moment, reached out and stroked her hair: "It may be a little late, don't wait for me to eat." ”
Don't you come back for dinner? Qiao Yingying was a little disappointed, but she nodded obediently: "Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. to come back." ”
Looking at her well-behaved and bright smile, Guan Mufeng's inky eyes flashed a trace of apology, and after lightly imprinting a kiss on her forehead, he strode out of the door.
Tonight is the 25th wedding anniversary of Tang Weiyuan, President of Tang Group, and his wife. Although it was a simple celebration, the Tang family's huge villa garden was still grandly and gorgeously arranged, and the guests from all parties were brightly dressed and staggered, which was very lively, and Guan Mufeng's unexpected appearance caused a commotion on the scene.
"That's Mr. Guan of CEFC? How did he get here? ”
"Yes, it's so rare, hasn't Mr. Guan always only heard his name but didn't see him?"
"Didn't CEFC and Tang's Group cooperate a while ago, it should be this reason?"
"I don't think that game project is a drop in the bucket for CEFC's turnover, so how can he be asked to attend in person?"
"What's the reason for that? Mr. Guan doesn't like to socialize everywhere. ”
"I'm afraid it has something to do with Miss Tang, haven't you seen that she has been with Mr. Guan all the time?"
Everyone's eyes invariably gathered on a pair of young men and women standing side by side in the center of the crowd, and they couldn't help but show a look of amazement. Guan Mufeng was dressed in a neatly cut black suit, with a straight and straight posture, handsome and quiet facial features, revealing a touch of majesty and decisiveness. Tang Miao next to her was wearing a pink floor-length gauze skirt, and the neckline of the deep V was buttoned with a diamond pin, fluttering like a fairy. They were talking to today's protagonists Tang Weiyuan and his wife, and the four of them were all smiling, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.
"Let's not talk about those businesses today, Miao Miao, you personally take Mr. Guan around, entertain well, and let's go say hello to other guests." Tang Weiyuan said with a smile, and pulled his wife, who was looking at Guan Mufeng, to walk into the crowd.
"Then it's going to trouble Miss Tang." Guan Mufeng looked at Tang Miao next to him and smiled faintly.
"You're welcome." Tang Miao hurriedly said, a trace of blush appeared on her delicate face, and she pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Guan, please come here." ”
In the villa, Qiao Yingying still felt unsatisfied after watching a few episodes of cartoons, seeing that Guan Mufeng hadn't come back yet, she turned over a TV series that was popular before, but she didn't expect it to be her appetite, and she yawned and fell asleep after watching an episode. Thinking that she would have to wait for Guan Mufeng to come back and tell him the good news about her Baoyan, she quickly rubbed her eyes, straightened her sitting posture, and looked for something she was interested in again.
The clock on the wall was close to 11 o'clock unconsciously, she put down the remote control, stared at the door for a while, climbed off the sofa, ran to the door of the villa with slippers and a small bench and sat down.
Summer is coming, the night breeze is already a little hot, and her scattered hair is blowing lightly with the wind, lining her little face that has inadvertently faded a lot of childishness, adding a touch of mature charm. Blowing the night breeze, holding her cheeks, listening to the insects chirping in the surrounding bushes, her somewhat anxious mood gradually calmed down, and slowly recalled everything that had happened since the first day she came to this world.
It's been more than a year, and it's been so fast. In the past, she only felt that her life was like a year, but now she sighed that time had flown by. But fortunately, she didn't waste much time, worked hard to learn a lot of things, and really grew up, like a girl in her twenties.
But why hasn't the gentleman come back? And still don't call yourself? After waiting for a long time, she looked at the time, and finally became a little resentful. She puffed out her cheeks a little aggrievedly, looked at the intersection ahead, and shrunk her body against the wall, and continued to wait.
The banquet actually ended around ten o'clock, but Guan Mufeng stayed because Tang Miao was drunk.
"We Miao Miao don't know how to drink at all, so reckless, it makes Mr. Guan smile." Tang Weiyuan looked at Tang Miao, who was lying in his wife's arms, coquettishly muttering something, half helpless and half spoiled.
"Miss Tang got drunk because she blocked the wine for me, so I should not be able to go." Guan Mufeng said, thinking of a little girl who drank very well, and a touch of tenderness appeared between her eyebrows.
Tang Weiyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled: "Miao Miao, she has been like this since she was a child, intimate is intimate, but she was spoiled by us, raised too squeamish, and she likes to be coquettish when she is so old." ”
"Miss Tang is the pearl of Mr. Tang's palm, of course, she is different from others." Guan Mufeng said, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Tang Weiyuan shook his head with a smile, looked at the time, and looked surprised: "It's all at this point, does Mr. Guan need to go back to rest early?" ”
Guan Mufeng glanced at Tang Miao, who was frowning and rubbing her temples, and said to Tang Weiyuan: "I'll wait for Miss Tang to be sober, and thank her before leaving." ”
"It's okay, I've got some decanting soup cooked. Mr. Guan, let's sit over there. Tang Weiyuan said, and sat down with Guan Mufeng on the sofa on the other side of the living room.
The servant at home immediately brought the freshly brewed tea, Tang Weiyuan took a sip, his eyes swept over the young man in front of him who made him a little incomprehensible, and said with a smile: "Mr. Guan is so young and promising, to be honest, our generation of old entrepreneurs is really admired, I don't know what kind of water and soil can cultivate talents like Mr. Guan?" ”
Guan Mufeng's background and life history information circulated outside is very small, although he is not suspicious of anything, but he is really curious.
"I'm an orphan, and the one who adopted me was from Jichuan." Guan Mufeng put down the teacup and said calmly.
Tang Weiyuan was stunned for a moment, and the shock in his heart faded after a while.
"Although I know that Guan is always self-made, I really didn't expect to have such a background, and it is really admirable to have today's results." He sighed and asked, "Jichuan?" Is it the Jecheon adjacent to Qionglin City? I've been to Qionglin a few times, and it's a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers. ”
"It's really good." Guan Mufeng smiled faintly, and a trace of unclear meaning crossed his eyes.
Knowing that Guan Mufeng was an orphan, Tang Weiyuan didn't want to ask anything else, the two chatted casually, and after a while, Tang Miao drank the sobering soup, and gradually became conscious, Guan Mufeng thanked her and said goodbye.
"Mr. Guan!" Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, Tang Miao hurriedly called, and Guan Mufeng looked at her with a very gentle face.
"That's... There will be the unveiling ceremony of the game experience hall next week, I wonder if Mr. Guan will participate? She whispered, looking a little shy and a little shy.
Guan Mufeng's expression paused for a moment, and then nodded: "If there is time, I will definitely attend." ”
Tang Miao was overjoyed in her heart, held back her excitement, and said softly: "Then, see you then." ”
"See you then." Guan Mufeng responded, and after saying goodbye to Tang Weiyuan and his wife, he left the Tang family.
Outside, Lao Wu was already waiting in the car and was about to fall asleep, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he suddenly woke up.
"It's over?" He asked Guan Mufeng in the rearview mirror.
"Hmm." Guan Mufeng's voice was a little deep, he glanced at the time displayed on his watch, and pursed his thin lips, "Old Wu, go back to Yushan." ”
"Oh, let's go back." Lao Wu remembered Qiao Yingying who he saw in the villa in the morning, and quickly started the car, driving fast all the way, but it was already past zero o'clock when he arrived at Yushan, and the two of them couldn't help but mention it when they saw Qiao Yingying curled up at the door.
Seeing Guan Mufeng's footsteps hurriedly getting out of the car and picking up Qiao Yingying, Jun's face frowned, Lao Wu secretly sighed and left with a trace of worry.
