Chapter Twenty-Three: Come to Me
The old man of the Wen family watched Du Xichen grow up, and he was very satisfied with him, he liked him originally, and even said that the two families are now close to each other, where can he be blamed, it is too late to be happy.
Old Man Wen laughed, raised his hand and patted Du Xichen on the shoulder, "Okay, you are a hero and a teenager, much stronger than your grandfather, it is normal for men to fight for their careers outside." β
"Hey, you like my grandson and you can't step on me, you? Today's sake is your birthday, I don't care about you, hurry up and speak, everyone is waiting. Old Man Mu pretended to be angry and looked at Old Man Wen.
After Old Man Wen came to the stage with a smile, Old Man Mu immediately turned his head and glanced at Du Xichen with a warning in his eyes.
Twilight was stunned, he knew that his grandfather would know about his early departure from work, smiled at the old man, and explained, "There is a delay on the way." β
Old Man Mu didn't make a sound, looked behind him with a happy expression, and beckoned, "Wanwan, come quickly." β
"Hey, grandpa," Wen Wanwan replied with a smile, and then walked over to Twilight's side, naturally grabbed Twilight's arm, and began to talk to Old Man Twilight.
A trace of coldness crossed Twilight Xichen's eyes, but he didn't push her hand away as he did just now, and waited for the two of them to finish talking, and then reached out and pulled away Wen Wanwan, who wanted to talk for a while.
Old Man Mu didn't blame Twilight Xichen for leaving without saying hello, and watched with satisfaction as Twilight Xichen pulled Wen Wanwan to the corner one after the other, young people should talk more about cultivating and cultivating feelings.
Twilight Xichen didn't know what his grandfather was thinking, and when he reached the corner where no one was paying attention, he immediately let go of Wen Wanwan's hand, his expression was cold, and his voice was soft but cold, "Wen Wanwan, I originally thought you were an acquaintance, but now what do you mean by doing this?" β
Early in the morning, Twilight Xichen told Wen Wanwan that the marriage they had set was just a formality, and there was no emotion.
Wen Wanwan was the most arrogant, she pretended not to care at the time, and didn't show half of her sincerity, but now she is lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot.
"The elders are here, what do you mean by me? Even if the fiancΓ©e is just a title, she must be able to make sure that it does not leak," Yan Yan smiled gently, and reminded in a gentle voice, "Grandpa Twilight is watching." β
Twilight Xichen glanced back, and sure enough, Old Man Mu was looking at this side with a smile, and when he saw him turn around, he waved his hand, signaling him to continue talking to Wen Wanwan.
Wen Wanwan chuckled, grabbed Du Xichen's arm again, and said softly: "Do a full set of plays, let's go around." β
Twilight's mood has always been leaky, and he indulges extreme displeasure, but he also maintains the demeanor he should have on this occasion, allowing Wen Wanwan to take his arm and greet guests everywhere.
In this way, the two really look like a pair of eye-catching people from a distance.
After a night of staggering, Duxi was full of exhaustion, and his scheming was worried about Yi Shuluo, and he said goodbye to Old Man Wen as soon as he left.
But when he was about to go out of the door, he was grabbed by the arm of the old man Dusk and said, "Go and accompany Wanwan to see off guests, even if you are busy with work, you shouldn't not see people for a month." β
Twilight Xichen stood at the door, his angular handsome face hidden between the light and shadow, and said unhurriedly: "I have to go back to the company now, I will go home tomorrow, grandpa go back to rest early." β
"I said you kid, are you really busy or do you mean it?" Old man Twilight was a little anxious, he also asked Twilight Xichen's secretary, and the secretary said that it was indeed a bunch of work, working overtime every day, but he could also spare time to eat after working overtime.
"Grandpa." Twilight's tone was slightly dark, "I have a bunch of things to deal with tomorrow, which one is not more important than sending off guests?" β
"But none of them are as important as Wanwan!" Old Man Mu quickly replied, looking at the expressionless handsome face of Du Xichen, and knew that he had lost his words.
"The root of the Wen family's marriage with us is because we want to be the right person, and our marriage with the Wen family is to seek common development, not to hug the thigh of Old Man Wen," said Du Xichen's voice in a low voice, but his expression became more and more displeased.
"Oops," Twilight said, knowing her grandson's temper, and let out a long sigh, "Okay, I don't care about you, but you don't forget what I warned you before." β
"Yes." After Twilight finished speaking, he left without looking back and drove straight to the company.
He said that returning to the company was not a perfunctory old man, I believe that Old Man Mu also knew, otherwise he would not have let him go so easily.
Originally, I just thought that I would go to accompany Yi Shuluo after getting off work early in the afternoon for a while, afraid that she would be bullied by Yixuan, so I coaxed her to go back to the company to work overtime, but I didn't think that things would come to the shelves step by step.
Driving the car back to the office, there are still several floors of the building that have already left work and are still brightly lit.
Xiao Zhao, the new special assistant secretary, received a call from Twilight Xichen on the road and was already waiting downstairs.
Twilight got out of the car, took the document handed over by Xiao Zhao, and asked while signing, "How is it?" β
Xiao Zhao didn't say anything, pressed the elevator, and replied: "I'm waiting for you, there is still half an hour to start the video conference with the United States, have you been drinking?" Do you want me to find someone to buy a decanting soup? β
"No," Twilight handed him the papers, and after getting into the elevator, he said lightly, "I asked about asking you to send flowers, how are you doing." β
"Huh?" Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly reflected and replied: "I asked Jiajia from the Secretariat Department to buy it in person and deliver it to the door in person." β
With a ding, the elevator reached the fourteenth floor, and Twilight Xichen gathered the complexity in his eyes and walked out.
The lights should have been turned off on the fourteenth floor, the lights were bright, and all the technical employees were sitting in their places, busy working overtime.
As he walked towards the general manager's office, he gestured to Xiao Zhao and asked him to buy supper for everyone.
Xiao Zhao willingly left, and Du Xichen pushed open the door of the manager's office on the fourteenth floor, and there were already more than a dozen people sitting inside, and they all stood up when they saw Du Xichen.
"President."
Twilight waved her hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, looking at the screen, "Start the meeting." β
This busyness is five hours, and it was already four o'clock in the morning after the meeting, so Du Xichen rubbed his eyebrows, picked up his mobile phone and went downstairs.
β¦β¦
When Yi Shu fell downstairs the next morning, Twilight had already asked people to pack their things.
"Awake?"
Yi Shuluo knew what Twilight had decided, and she didn't object to it no matter how much she objected, she also thought a lot about it after receiving the flowers last night, Twilight Xichen was right, revenge was useless on her own, and she still needed Twilight Xichen's support.
Since you can't resist, it's better to find a way to profit from it.
"This is going back?"
"You come over for breakfast first," Twilight said, placing the tray on the table.
Yi Shuluo walked over, looked up at him, saw that his face was a little pale, and couldn't help but say, "You didn't sleep well last night?" As soon as these words came out, she secretly regretted them.
"I'm very happy that you care about me," Twilight smiled after speaking, and when he saw that Yi Shu started to eat without raising his head, he replied slowly, "Well, overtime." β
After saying that, Twilight went back to the kitchen to wash his hands.
β¦β¦
At nine o'clock in the morning, Du Xichen drove into Mu's house
After Yi Shu got out of the car, she didn't expect Twilight Xichen to hold her hand, and couldn't help but be stunned, "What are you doing?" This is the Twilight family. β
"I know this is the Twilight family, let's go inside."
Twilight Xichen's hand was clenched very tightly, but Yi Shuluo was not happy about such warmth.
The two of them walked in hand in hand, and Twilight Yixuan saw that his face was bloodless.
Old Man Mu was startled and stood up, "Twilight Xichen, you come over to me." After saying that, he went upstairs directly.
"Send Luoluo to her own bedroom, don't let anyone disturb her." Twilight handed the maid her luggage and followed as if nothing had happened.
As soon as Du Xichen entered the study, a book flew over, and Old Man Mu had never done anything to Du Xichen, this was the first time.
Twilight Xichen turned his head sideways and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, you should always give me a chance to speak." β
"What else do you want to say? You think the company is yours now, don't you? Your kid has stiff wings now, don't you? I personally kicked out that girl, and you brought it back like this? How? Now you're in charge of the Twilight family, aren't you? β
Twilight Xichen had long expected this situation, and he didn't have the idea of talking back at all, so he walked over directly, and his voice was steady and clear: "Grandpa, I didn't mean that, Luoluo is a member of the Twilight family, I know what you're worried about, but I also want to tell you now, if you don't agree with Luoluo coming back, then I will definitely not marry Wen Wanwan." β
What Twilight Xichen said was neither humble nor arrogant, but the old man Twilight was in a hurry, and he didn't say a word, just coughed incessantly.
Old Man Mu's secretary heard the sound in the room, and quickly rushed in and helped the trembling Old Man Mu.
Old Man Mu pushed the secretary away and slammed the ground twice with the dragon's head cane, "Who let you in?" Get out of here. β
Old Man Mu was emotional, Du Xichen looked expressionless and didn't speak, he was waiting for Old Man Mu to answer.
The secretary looked at the situation, turned and walked out.
"Du Xichen, let me tell you, you don't want that girl to re-enter our Mu family, your grandfather is still alive, if you continue to insist on going your own way, you will get out with her." This is the first time that Old Man Mu has said such cruel things to Du Xichen.
Twilight Xichen stood up and neatly took out the seal and the key to the safe that had been prepared a long time ago, "Grandpa, don't be angry, it's Xichen who is not filial." β
Old Man Mu looked at this posture and suddenly understood that Du Xichen had been preparing to fight him to the end, and he couldn't catch his breath at the moment, and almost fainted, "You stop me, do you kid really want to me off to death?" β
Seeing this, Du Xichen was startled, hurriedly took a few steps up, helped Old Man Mu to sit on the sofa, and then took a few steps back, "Xichen doesn't dare, but Xichen admits that the conditions he said are not too much. β
"Nope." Old Man Mu's eyes widened, and his veto was even firmer.
"Grandpa, I want to make my words very clear, since you don't agree, then you can only blame Twilight Xichen for being unfilial," saying this, Twilight Xichen turned around and was about to leave.
"You'll wait."
