Mu Shuyao didn't think there was anything she couldn't say, so she nodded.

"Mu Jingqing doesn't have a brain, even if I don't say it, he actually only knows how to do it. It's just that he always cares about the old man's opinion, afraid that the old man will think that he is restless and killing his siblings, so I just pushed him. ”

The fratricidal affairs of the wealthy families for the sake of the ancestors' inheritance are staged every day.

Ning Hongjie himself is also the one who is in the middle of it and becomes the winner and finally stands at the top of the family business empire, how can he not know the doorway and means?

It's just that he has always thought that Mu Shuyao has always disdained the rules of wealthy families.

Because, her image in his heart has always been simple and high.

Therefore, when he learned that Mu Shuyao had gone to see Mu Jingqing, he still had the idea that everything was just a coincidence.

But the timing of her meeting Mu Jingqing was too strange.

To be honest, when he asked this, he hoped to hear a negative answer from Mu Shuyao's mouth.

Therefore, hearing her admit so simply, he was actually a little surprised, and a little unacceptable.

He looked at her with a complicated expression, and for a moment, he even felt that the Mu Shuyao in front of him was not the Mu Shuyao he knew.

How did he know that the real Mu Shuyao had never known him.

Of course, he had a brief opportunity to get to know his legitimate wife very deeply.

It's just that the opportunity is fleeting.

Later, Mu Shuyao just wore different masks to coax him and even curry favor with him according to his temperament, just hoping that as soon as the contract ended, she could completely withdraw from his world and start her own new life.

"Mu Shuyao, the muddy water of the Mu family, I advise you to make less trips!"

Ning Hongjie was originally in a good mood, but now, he suddenly had the feeling of immediately packing her up and returning to China and locking her at home, not letting her go anywhere, and not letting anyone see her!

Mu Shuyao didn't expect him to react like this, or rather, she always felt that this was her own business and had nothing to do with Ning Hongjie, so she didn't care at all about his opinion.

But Ning Hongjie's tone was too harsh, obviously, what she did annoyed him.

"Mr. Ning, don't worry, I know Mu Jingqing very well, the matter of the division of power between him and Mu Quancheng will not involve me, and even if I am involved, I have a way to protect myself and will not cause you trouble."

Mu Shuyao only thought that Ning Hongjie must be afraid that he would cause trouble for him, so he hurriedly reassured him and showed that he had no idea of relying on him.

But her assurance seemed to make Ning Hongjie even more angry.

He leaned forward slightly, his elbows propped up on the table, his face leaning closer into her eyes.

"Your so-called means of self-protection, do you mean Zhang Haoguan?"

Mu Shuyao was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand too much why this matter had to be brought back to Zhang Haoguan.

She looked at him strangely, "Mr. Ning, do you think that the thing that owes favors to others can be inexhaustible?" ”

Ning Hongjie still stared at her and didn't speak.

Mu Shuyao smiled bitterly, leaned back on the chair with his hand on the tabletop, and raised his hand helplessly in surrender.

"Mr. Ning, I think that you, as a businessman, should know best that trading this kind of thing has always been a matter of money and goods. I saved Zhang Haoguan's life, but I have already asked for this favor last time, and he and I are just friends now, and no one owes anyone anything. ”

After Mu Shuyao finished speaking, he leaned forward to close the distance with Ning Hongjie, and then, who also looked at his eyes, said categorically, "So, Mr. Ning, please don't always talk about Zhang Haoguan and me in the future, I don't have such a big face, and he doesn't have that kind of obligation." ”

Ning Hongjie was still staring at her, and only after a long time did he sneer.

"Mu Shuyao, this is just your idea, do you think that Zhang Haoguan and you also think the same way?"

Mu Shuyao is really hehe!

"It doesn't matter what he thinks. What matters is what I think myself, isn't it? ”

It's like Guanfeng Entertainment's artists standing up for Yao Xiang for free, of course she understands that it is Zhang Haoguan's kindness.

But she is not willing to squander her friend's kindness in this way, and she can cooperate when she should cooperate, and everyone can benefit from it, and she can also have a clear conscience.

I don't feel inferior because I take advantage of others.

But her explanation obviously couldn't satisfy Ning Hongjie.

He straightened up, clasped his arms in his hands, and looked at her silently for a long time before speaking to her sharply.

"In short, don't worry about Mu Jingqing's affairs, don't see him again after that, I will go and tell him clearly, let him draw a clear line with you, and after that, you don't get involved in the affairs of him and Mu Quancheng's father and son!"

Mu Shuyao tilted his head and hooked his neck with him.

"I don't need to! I'll take care of it myself, I don't need any help from you! ”

Here in Mu Shuyao, what is owed to Zhang Haoguan is no different from what is owed to Ning Hongjie.

Even, if she had to pick one, she would rather owe Zhang Haoguan what she owed, and she could pay it back slowly in the future.

But she didn't want to owe Ning Hongjie anything.

Because, she didn't want to be separated from Ning Hongjie at the moment when there were other entanglements that had not been settled.

Obviously, when they entered the restaurant, the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious, but after a few minutes, it became a tense state again.

You are staring at me, I am staring at you, and neither of you wants to give in.

In the end, Mu Shuyao was tired of staring at him, so he picked up the cup and poured half a cup of water, then took out his mobile phone to swipe the web page, no longer looking at him, and didn't want to say anything more to him.

The frosty atmosphere was like a frost, and it wasn't until the waiter brought the food they ordered that Mu Shuyao and Ning Hongjie paid attention to the food.

The two of them were like guests who didn't know each other, neither of them squeaked, only the occasional clanging of knives and forks against plates sounded in the private room.

Mu Shuyao had made up his mind not to pay attention to Ning Hongjie anymore, she thought that with the temper of a young master like him, he must have the same persistence as her.

This time, however, she miscalculated.

She had a bad stomach, so she ate more slowly.

After Ning Hongjie finished eating the staple food, he was not in a hurry to drink the soup, but picked up the napkin and pursed his lips, and his thoughtful gaze fell on her lowered face.

"Mu Shuyao, do you think I'm nosy?"

His voice was still cold, but faint, with a bit of suppressed resentment.

Mu Shuyao lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, and snorted coldly.

"How dare I!"

She did think he was nosy, but if she did, he would have to put her in a hat that he didn't know.

Ning Hongjie furrowed his eyebrows, "Mu Jingqing and his father, it's not as simple as you think, and besides, Mu Quancheng is not as kind as you think, and he is not so easy to deal with!" ”
