Chapter 238: That Night was Calm
Chapter 238: That Night was Calm
When Ji Weixiao was anxious about Lan Wuwu's affairs, his good brother Gu Yi was not in a good situation.
In fact, he can live a very comfortable life, but he can't help but be nosy, not only his parents have opinions about him, but even the family that accepts his help is blocking him.
That afternoon, Gu Yi, whose identity had changed to Mu Fan, was stopped by the Guan family's housekeeper after giving Guan Muxi a lesson.
"Mr. Mu, the master wants to talk to you!"
"Good!"
The housekeeper took him to Guan Xiaotian's study, and after knocking on the door, the housekeeper opened the door and invited Mu Fan in.
Guan Xiaotian sat in front of the small square table in the study, the slanting sun outside the window was just right, the orange light hit the tabletop, and the white porcelain tea sets on the table seemed to be coated with a layer of warm yellow light.
"Master, Mr. Mu is here."
The housekeeper walked quickly behind Guan Xiaotian, and then did not speak again, and the person who greeted Mu Fan became Guan Xiaotian.
"Mu Fan, come and sit down and taste my freshly brewed tea."
His tone was very cheerful, sounding like he was in a good mood, and after seeing Mu Fan sit down opposite him, his gaze also fell on the other party, and he followed closely.
"Mr. Guan, this tea is the clouds and mist of Lushan."
Mu Fan picked up the teacup, looked at the color of the tea soup and the shape of the tea leaves, and gave an answer.
"That's right, this is Lushan Yunwu, I didn't expect you to know what kind of tea this is just by observing the tea soup and tea leaves."
When he lowered his head to drink tea, he heard Guan Xiaotian's irrepressible excited voice.
"I just happen to know, if you make other tea, I really can't say." Mu Fan said and put down the teacup, not daring to say anything more.
It's not good for him to know too much, like Mu Fan's current identity, he is a poor and white person who works hard to start a business, and he shouldn't be a person who is proficient in everything.
"You don't have to be modest, I don't think you are a person who doesn't understand tea."
Guan Xiaotian said indifferently, and Mu Fan said again and again: "Mr. Guan, you are too elevated to me." ”
He has always remembered to restrain his edge, so as not to let Guan Xiaotian see something.
Guan Xiaotian kept smiling and didn't speak, but Mu Fan knew that he must have something to tell him, otherwise he wouldn't let him stay, but what did the other party mean now?
He promised Ji Weixiao to go to him tonight, and he couldn't spend all night here.
"Mr. Guan, you asked me to come over, is there anything you want to tell me?" Mu Fan likes Guan Xiaotian to be direct, there is no need to play Tai Chi with him.
"Mu Fan, I am a father, no matter what I say, I have to think about my children, I am like knowing that you and Xi Xi ...... day"
Guan Xiaotian wanted to speak and stopped, there was some irrepressible excitement in his eyes, although he was restrained, but Gu Yi, who had always been sharp, could see through what he was thinking at a glance.
Guan Xiaotian is not dead yet? He refuses to understand enough?
Mu Fan was silent and didn't answer his words, Guan Xiaotian took his silence as a tacit acquiescence, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said: "I actually don't mean anything, it's just that after something like that, I want you to be responsible for Xixi." ”
He determined that Mu Fan and Guan Muxi had a substantive relationship, no matter what the situation, Guan Xiaotian hoped that Mu Fan would be responsible for Guan Muxi, because he had been thinking about this matter in his heart.
Some time ago, he was rejected by Mu Fan many times, and he did have the idea of giving up, but after that night, things took a turn for the better, and the idea of becoming only Martian Zi was ignited again.
Guan Xiaotian's abacus played very well, but Mu Fan didn't accept it, and said righteously, "Guan Lao, did you misunderstand something?" Didn't Guan Muxi tell you? ”
"What did she say?"
Guan Muxi didn't mention the events of that night, and Guan Xiaotian didn't ask, thinking that things were going in the direction he expected.
"Nothing happened that night."
"......"
"Do you want to say that Guan Muxi drank the wine that Xu Luo drugged that night?" Seeing Guan Xiaotian's unyielding question, Mu Fan simply spread out the matter and made it clear, "The way to remove the effect of that medicine ......"
Before he finished speaking, the closed study door was pushed open, and Mu Fan felt the wind blowing through his face.
"Dad, nothing happened to me or him."
Against the light, the visitor stood stiffly in the doorway, and roared vigorously into the study.
Looking from Mu Fan's angle, he could see the other party's slightly slumped back one after another, showing her emotional excitement.
At this moment, the study was silent and terrifying, as if the roar just now was still echoing, and after a long time, Guan Xiaotian moved his lips, and opened his mouth to make habitual accusations.
"Hey, why don't you come in and not knock?"
Why didn't she knock on the door? If she had knocked on the door, she would not have heard his father so eager to sell herself!
"Dad, isn't it enough to have a Xu Luo?"
Guan Xiaotian breathed a flicker, stared at Guan Muxi's painful eyes, and was speechless for a while.
She knew it all, and she knew that she was in a hurry to find a candidate for her future husband, and she didn't like it, but for the sake of his happiness, she still agreed against her will, and went to the appointment against her will.
If this incident hadn't happened, if he had asked her to marry Mu Fan one day, she would have lowered her wishes and married her without saying a word.
Mu Fan had never seen such a Guan Muxi, when he was Gu Yi, he was used to seeing her arrogance and empty eyes, and when he saw her struggling in such pain, his body got up from his seat uncontrollably and walked towards the person at the door.
He was still sensible, and didn't hug the other party into his arms, but just patted her on the back and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Guan Xiaotian's eyes, followed by a kind of relief, but he still didn't know how to speak, and his heart was filled with guilt.
His original intention had always been to make Guan Muxi happy, but he didn't expect to unknowingly let his baby daughter endure so much and endure it for so long.
After seeing Guan Muxi shaking her head, Mu Fan's hand was still patting her back, but her face turned to Guan Xiaotian, "Guan Lao, I am here to apologize for not explaining what happened that night in time and letting you misunderstand us." ”
After bowing with full sincerity, he continued: "After I took Guan Muxi away that night, I let her soak in cold water for a night, and the next day I had a fever, but I prepared antipyretic medicine in advance, and after she finished taking the medicine, she lay down at my house for a day, and at night, she woke up and clamored to come back, so I sent her back." ”
"Huh, isn't that so?"
Guan Xiaotian opened his mouth as if he had finally found an opportunity to speak to Guan Muxi, but he also broke Guan Muxi's heart once.
Mu Fan said it so clearly and clearly, her father was still suspicious......
Did she really have something to do with Mu Fan to make him happy?
"What he said was true."
Guan Muxi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to reply, feeling ashamed in her heart.
Her father sent her to others, and even if others didn't look down on her, he had to mention it in front of others. Guan Muxi has never felt so embarrassed, but she can't blame Guan Xiaotian.
She really sticks it upside down to others, and no one else wants it.
Guan Muxi thought a little self-deprecatingly, as if the temperature of the hand on her back could not be felt, and it could not be transmitted to her heart.
Mu Fan walked very thoroughly, and only Guan Xiaotian, Guan Muxi and the housekeeper were left in the study, but the housekeeper was also very knowledgeable, and dropped a sentence, "Miss Master, you need to talk about it." And he left.
"Sie, Dad is sorry for you!"
Guan Xiaotian grabbed the edge of the small square table, and spoke to Guan Muxi, who was still frozen at the door, in a guilty tone.
It was probably Guan Muxi who was hurt too deeply, and he didn't open his mouth, just staring at Guan Xiaotian, with resentment in his eyes, faint
If there is none.
"I'm sorry, forgive Dad! Dad won't do it anymore. ”
Guan Xiaotian was in a hurry to stand up, but he didn't want to move too much, so he shook the small square table and dumped the tea in the teacup.
"Dad, sit down!"
Guan Muxi finally relented, took a dry towel from the table, wiped the tea stains on the small square table, and then sat opposite Guan Xiaotian.
"I'm ......"
"Dad, I know, Mu Fan is much better than Xu Luo and others, you don't want to let him go, thinking that if he marries me and becomes your son-in-law, if you cultivate and cultivate, he will definitely be able to occupy a place in the business world one day......"
Guan Muxi is worthy of being Guan Xiaotian's daughter, and she has pointed out his thoughts very thoroughly, but she doesn't seem to have reached the point yet.
Why did he do it?
Without waiting for him to open his mouth to guide Guan Muxi, her stopped mouth closed again one by one, "He is a master with no ambitions, you want to attract him with equity, and then use the identity of the Guan family's aunt to trap him." He has the talent and ability to ensure the future development of the Guan family; He has responsibility and responsibility, and he will not leave me alone after marrying me. This is the solution you think of to solve my future and the future of the company. ”
"Guan has poured almost half of your life into it, and you can't bear to see it fall, and you know that it can't count on me, because I'm not interested in it, and I don't have the ability to do it; But you don't want to force me to learn to take over the company, the biggest purpose of you forcing me to learn this time is just to find a future husband for me. ”
"You're worried about the future of the company and about me, but you never tell me. Actually, I can take over Guan's family, I am really not interested in it, but it does not mean that I have no management ability, I am willing to learn, I am willing to take over. The future of the Guan family can also rely on me, and there is no need to rely on others. ”
Guan Muxi's last words shocked Guan Xiaotian and made him think about many things clearly.
He decided in his heart that Guan Muxi did not have the heart and ability to take over the Guan family, so he thought about constantly borrowing external forces, and wanted to rely on others to maintain everything about the Guan family, hoping that when he was no longer alive one day, the Guan family would still survive well, and his daughter would live as freely and chic as when he was alive under the care of others.
"Dad, this was originally my burden, it's just that you feel sorry for me and don't want me to do things that I'm not interested in, but I've grown up, and many things can't be done by temperament."
Guan Muxi seemed to have her own plan, Guan Xiaotian looked at her and subconsciously asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
