Chapter 62: Father Leng's Visit
Leng Zhanglin took Mu Xuncheng's car to the villa temporarily arranged by the two people.
As soon as he got out of the car, Leng Zhanglin began to look at this villa, although it is not big, but the environment is very good, with gardens and swimming pools.
A housekeeper politely opened the door for him and called out respectfully: "Young master, master." ”
Leng Zhanglin was called the master for the first time in his lifetime, and he coughed a little unnaturally, not knowing how to respond.
Mu Xuncheng then got out of the car, instructed the housekeeper to take the luggage in Wu Tong's hand, and let Wu Tong drive home.
Leng Zhanglin followed behind Mu Xuncheng and walked into the villa.
This villa is also an property under the name of Mu Xun City, but he usually doesn't come much, and only occasionally uses it to entertain guests and friends.
Therefore, although he does not live here, he is still equipped with a number of servants, and even if the master is not there, the place will run in an orderly manner.
This is also the reason why Wu Tong was able to arrange everything in such a short time, but he put a few wedding photos of two people in the living room, and replaced all the daily necessities for two people.
In the spacious hall, you can see at a glance the wedding photos of the two people placed in the most conspicuous place, in the photo, Mu Xuncheng pursed the corners of his mouth, his eyes did not know where to look, and he looked absent-minded. The cold stream sinks like water, and I can't see the joy of being a wife for the first time.
Leng Zhanglin stared at the photo for a long time before he sighed deeply.
Mu Xuncheng noticed Leng Zhanglin's gaze, he beckoned, and Xiao Ling ran over: "Young Master, you're back, what do you have to order?" ”
"How's Madame?"
"After you left, Madame fell asleep, just woke up, chatted with Xiaoling for a few words, and is now lying on the bed resting." Xiao Ling replied truthfully.
Mu Xuncheng nodded: "Let's go see her." ”
Leng Zhanglin also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I'm going to see the creek." ”
The two of them followed Xiaoling up to the second floor, pushed open the door, and Leng Qingxi was looking at the night sky outside the window in a daze.
Hearing the door, Leng Qingxi turned his head sharply, and when he saw the person coming, Leng Qingxi was a little excited: "Dad." She tried to sit up, but she lay back down with an "oops".
Leng Zhanglin hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, held down his daughter, and looked at it carefully.
Leng Qingxi has lost weight, and his originally thin little face is now only the size of a palm, and his big smart eyes are getting bigger and bigger.
Leng Zhanglin only felt a sour heart, and almost burst into tears.
He touched Leng Qingxi's face and asked distressedly, "Why did you lose weight like this, and how did you get your waist." ”
"What? Lost weight? Leng Qingxi pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Great, I'm worried that I can't lose weight." ”
"You stupid boy, what? Are you having a bad time? Leng Zhanglin asked in a low voice, and at the same time cautiously glanced at Mu Xuncheng, who was standing not far away.
Seeing his father, Leng Qingxi's mood was also very uneasy, after marrying into the Mu family, it may be the most difficult period of Leng Qingxi's life in the past 20 years.
In the past, although it was bitter, it was also very happy, but now I have a stomach full of grievances, but no one tells me.
However, these grievances, these sufferings, she couldn't tell her father that he had already endured too much pain, how could she make him sad.
Therefore, even though she had a lot of grievances in her heart and wanted to tell her father, in the end she could only suppress the fluctuations in her heart, her eyes were filled with tears, and she called "Dad" coquettishly, this tone was already a little choked, Leng Qingxi herself was also taken aback, glanced at Mu Xuncheng who was looking at her with interest on the side, Leng Qingxi suddenly suppressed her emotions, and said slowly for a long time: "No, Dad, I'm doing well now." You have also seen that I don't have to worry about food or clothing here, Mu Xuncheng treats me very well, and my subordinates respect me very much. ”
"But why are you still getting thinner?" Leng Zhanglin asked with some puzzlement.
"Hi Dad, I forgot to tell you, I worked."
"Got work? Is it a company to Mujia? Leng Zhanglin's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, it has always been his daughter's dream to be an excellent designer, and Mujia's company is one of the best in the city's construction industry.
Leng Qingxi listened to Leng Zhanglin's words, lowered her head, and smiled bitterly, she remembered how she ran into walls everywhere when she was looking for a job, and only shook her head halfway and said, "No, I work in another design company." ”
"Why is that?" Leng Zhanglin asked puzzled.
"Dad, Mu Xuncheng and I are husband and wife, if I go to work in his company, everyone will definitely look at me with colored glasses, I don't want such a result, I hope to be recognized by others through my own efforts. Moreover, if I go to Mu Xuncheng's company, it will also make it difficult for Mu Xuncheng to do. Leng Qingxi struggled to make up reasons for herself.
Leng Zhanglin nodded, his daughter knew that although Leng Qingxi had a relatively docile personality, she had an end of not admitting defeat in her bones, and she was very strong in many things, just take marriage as an example, if she hadn't fought hard to force her to die, she wouldn't have complied.
Mu Xuncheng has been standing beside him, listening to the conversation between the father and daughter, hearing this, he coughed a little unnaturally, and seemed to recall some of his own practices.
He stepped forward, bent down beside Leng Qingxi's bed, and said to Leng Qingxi in a soft voice: "Okay, Xiaoxi, my father-in-law just got out of the car, and he is also very tired, you still need to rest more, don't be tired." ”
Leng Qingxi was lying on the bed, only to feel that Mu Xuncheng's handsome face rushed straight towards him, and he stopped very close to him.
She looked at Mu Xuncheng, who was close at hand, and suddenly felt that her heart began to beat uncontrollably, and her face turned red. He said hesitantly: "Okay, I know, you don't want to be so close to the test." ”
Mu Xuncheng looked at the fluctuations he had caused with great satisfaction, but he was obviously not satisfied with this.
I saw him affectionately hold one of Leng Qingxi's hands and said, "Okay, I know that I am not good for you to be frightened today, but don't be angry, I will definitely compensate you well in the future." "The word compensation, Mu Xuncheng deliberately bit very hard, which seems to have a slight meaning.
Leng Qingxi blushed and looked at Mu Xuncheng with a heartbeat, I don't know which one he is singing, although there is an agreement between the two of them, but he Young Master Mu doesn't need to do so much, now like this, it really makes her a little overwhelmed.
Before Leng Qingxi could react, he had already imprinted a kiss on Leng Qingxi's forehead like a dragonfly: "Okay, you have a good rest, I'll take my father-in-law to dinner." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Leng Qingxi to react, and the person had already left in a floating manner.
Leng Qingxi didn't expect Mu Xuncheng to be so bold, the whole person was stunned, his face was flushed, and he didn't even hear what Leng Zhanglin said to him when he left.
It wasn't until Leng Qingxi was left alone in the house that she touched the place where she had been kissed by Mu Xuncheng, and murmured: "Mu Xuncheng, you take advantage of me." ”
At this time, the person who took advantage was in a good mood, and he was entertaining Leng Zhanglin warmly and politely.
Leng Zhanglin's current mood can be described as extremely complicated, the son-in-law in front of him is really perfect and impeccable, if he said that when they first met, he still had lingering palpitations about him, at this time, he couldn't find fault at all.
Seeing his every move towards his daughter, and then looking at him himself, he is really like the performance at the wedding. It seems that his daughter should be doing well.
Gradually, he also relaxed his guard and told Mu Xuncheng a lot of stories between their father and daughter.
"Qingxi was very young, her mother left us, I promised her mother, will let Qingxi live a good life, at the beginning, my business was not bad, but later because of poor management, I owed a lot of money, at that time, Qingxi was only 8 years old, 8-year-old children, it is the age of coquettishness in the arms of parents, but Qingxi has to follow me around, facing those debt collectors. I know that Qingxi is scared in her heart, but she never shows it, and keeps comforting me, saying that she is not afraid. ”
Leng Zhanglin only drank two glasses of red wine, but he was a little excited, some words, he had been holding in his heart for a long time, but he didn't have a chance to talk to someone, maybe it was Mu Xuncheng's attitude towards Leng Qingxi today that made him feel that this man loved Leng Qingxi as much as himself.
Mu Xuncheng listened to Leng Zhanglin's words, and was a little moved, he had always known that Leng Qingxi's family was not so wealthy, but he didn't know that Leng Qingxi had lived such a life of exile since he was a child.
He didn't speak, just nodded nodding his head to indicate that he was listening.
Leng Zhanglin saw Mu Xuncheng nodding, as if he had been encouraged, and continued: "Don't look at Qingxi's appearance is very docile, in fact, she is a very independent and strong child, she knows at a very young age to go out to work, supplement the family, and help me pay off my debts, don't look at me as a big man, for so many years, if she hadn't supported this family, I might have jumped into the river a long time ago." ”
Mu Xuncheng smiled bitterly and nodded, Leng Qingxi's stubbornness, he had not been untaught.
The two of them chatted about Leng Qingxi, but they chatted late, and in the end, Leng Zhanglin burped and said that he would definitely have two drinks with his son-in-law in the future.
Mu Xuncheng looked at Leng Zhanglin's hand holding his shoulder silently, his brows furrowed almost invisibly, and he didn't get angry after all.
After settling down Leng Zhanglin, Mu Xuncheng sat in the living room for a while, and finally walked up to the second floor and gently pushed open the door of Leng Qingxi.
It was already past eleven o'clock, and Leng Qingxi had already fallen asleep.
Mu Xuncheng stood quietly at the head of Leng Qingxi's bed, carefully looking at Leng Qingxi in his sleep, and only at this time did he dare to stare at her so unscrupulously.
Leng Qingxi lay quietly on the bed, breathing steadily, her long eyelashes occasionally trembled slightly, as if she had dreamed of something, such a Leng Qingxi, with a trace of fragility and a trace of tranquility, like a quietly open lily, exuding an attractive fragrance.
Lost weight? He never seemed to have paid attention to it, and now that he thought about it, he couldn't even remember what Leng Qingxi looked like when he first arrived at Mu's house.
But he remembered the angry look in her eyes the first time he hit her, and the smile she had rarely shown to himself for the first time. Those stumbles between the two people seem to be no longer important at this point.
It turned out that she had so many unpleasant experiences, and it was no wonder that she would do everything possible to marry into her own family. Mu Xuncheng didn't even notice it, he actually inadvertently began to excuse Leng Qingxi.
At this quiet moment, Mu Xuncheng's phone vibrated unexpectedly, and after glancing at the phone, Mu Xuncheng's face was a little impatient.
