Chapter 121: Stranger
Attending a large banquet, it is not the first time that Leng Qingxi has attended.
So she didn't have the trepidation she had the first time, and she didn't have that freshness.
The so-called banquet is just a place for businessmen and celebrities to get to know each other and socialize. For Leng Qingxi, it's just a bit of fun.
Although the boss of Fuyuan introduced her and Bai Shunan to others, saying that they were excellent partners of his company, who would take them to heart.
After all, everyone attends this kind of banquet because they want to meet some big names in the industry.
Leng Qingxi and Bai Shunan were happy and quiet, and the two of them picked a quiet corner and sat down.
Looking at the crowds of people coming and going, Leng Qingxi couldn't help but sigh, how many so-called rich people are hiding in this city.
Bai Shunan is used to seeing this kind of scene, and he cares more about the scenery around him.
In fact, purely from the perspective of a friend, Bai Shunan felt that he was an excellent friend, and it was rare for him and Leng Qingxi to have such an opportunity, so they chatted happily.
The two of them were chatting energetically, but suddenly heard someone next to them snorting coldly, Leng Qingxi raised his head, and saw Mu Xuncheng standing at the table of the two, looking at the two of them with an expression of almost disgust.
When Bai Shunan saw Mu Xuncheng, he suddenly stood up from the table, and his face became ugly.
Leng Qingxi quickly stood up and grabbed Bai Shunan.
She glanced at Mu Xuncheng, who was also pale, and suddenly felt a little tired, what a similar scene, what a familiar scene.
But this time, she didn't want to give Mu Xuncheng another chance to insult herself. Leng Qingxi knew that as long as Mu Xuncheng opened his mouth, then he would definitely hurt himself.
Therefore, when she waited for Mu Xuncheng to speak, she took Bai Shunan's arm and said, "Mr. Bai, let's go, let's go dance, I've been sitting here for a long time, and my feet are numb." ”
Bai Shunan understood, and no longer looked at Mu Xuncheng, just nodded, and walked towards the dance floor with Leng Qingxi, leaving Mu Xuncheng standing alone.
Mu Xuncheng looked at the backs of the two people, only to feel that anger rushed to the top of his head, he dared to ignore himself like this, he thought that he would be a little flustered when he saw Leng Qingxi, and even guilty, but this woman, she completely ignored herself.
Didn't she say she liked herself? Is this how she likes to behave? Actually, he could not have attended today's banquet, but he still came.
In the depths of Mu Xuncheng's heart, he knew very well that he had some expectations, he knew that this project was in charge of Leng Qingxi, and perhaps, he would see that woman.
However, the woman who kept saying that she liked herself left across other men like this, and she didn't take herself seriously at all. Mu Xuncheng didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.
The female companion who was traveling with her didn't know what was going on, she walked over from a distance with two glasses of wine, and gave one of them to Mu Xuncheng, who took the wine glass angrily and drank it all.
"What's wrong? Mr. Mu? The female companion sensed that Mu Xuncheng was wrong, and asked cautiously.
"It's okay, you leave me alone for a while." Mu Xuncheng said impatiently.
The female companion glanced at Mu Xuncheng aggrievedly, turned around and left. Mu Xuncheng put the cup on the table in front of him fiercely, and his eyes were staring at the direction of Bai Shunan and Leng Qingxi: "Leng Qingxi, you can." ”
Mu Xuncheng returned home with the smell of alcohol, but found Mu Mu sitting on the sofa, as if waiting for him. Seeing Mu Xuncheng coming back, her eyes lit up.
When Mu Xuncheng saw her, he had a little headache, so he could only avoid her eyes, pretend not to see her, and continue to walk upstairs.
Seeing that Mu Xuncheng ignored her meaning, Mu Mu couldn't sit still any longer, she stood up, walked in front of Mu Xuncheng, and asked, "Son, where did Qingxi go?" ”
"Didn't you say she was on a business trip?" Mu Xuncheng covered his head and said.
"You lied, Qingxi, was she driven away by you?"
"Who said that?" Mu Xuncheng raised his head suddenly, stared at Mu Mu viciously and asked.
Mu Mu was taken aback by Mu Xuncheng's attitude, and involuntarily took a few steps back: "Why are you staring at me like this?" I just asked yes, yes or no? ”
"No, no, don't listen to other people's nonsense, who said nonsense in front of you, let me know, I will never spare him." Mu Xuncheng said impatiently.
"You don't care who said it, I don't care if you're lying to me or not, anyway, you let Qingxi come back as soon as possible, that's it."
"Alright, alright, I got it." Mu Xuncheng said angrily: "I'm a little uncomfortable, let's talk about this later." ”
"Hey, you kid, I'm not done yet." Mu Mu looked at Mu Xuncheng's back and shouted loudly.
In fact, Mu Mu did hear something.
At noon, she was sitting on a garden bench basking in the sun when she heard the sound of rustling behind her, as if someone was pruning the leaves.
The old lady did not take it to heart, but continued to sit on the bench without moving.
After a while, there was another sound of footsteps, and a girl's voice sounded behind me.
"This Miss Ling is really too difficult to serve, she wants me to do this for a while, and she wants me to do that for a while, obviously she wants to please the master and wife, but she doesn't do anything."
"That's right, I see, she is far from that Miss Leng." Another voice replied.
"I don't know what the young master's vision is, don't let such a gentle and kind Miss Leng live, I have to let this high-flying and domineering Miss Ling live at home."
"Hey, can that be the same? What kind of family background is this Miss Leng, and what kind of family background is Miss Ling. ”
"But Miss Leng is marrying Ming Media, to put it bluntly, she is the main master."
"Lord? Have you forgotten what the young master said when he brought Miss Ling back? You don't know, how sad Miss Leng cried when she left that day, really, the young master was really ruthless, so he drove people away. The second voice said with some sympathy.
"Oh, you can be quiet." The first voice quickly stopped her: "Steward Zhou said that we are not allowed to talk nonsense about this matter, if it is heard by the old lady and them, cure our sins." ”
"Oh, yes, you look at me, forget. Let's not talk about it. ”
The two little girls began to chatter about other things, but that was enough for Mu's mother.
She felt that it must be wrong to have there, it turned out that Mu Xuncheng had been lying to herself all along, and in the past few days, she had also called Leng Qingxi, but no one answered. She still wondered all the time, even if she was on a business trip, the phone should be able to be connected, so that's the case.
Therefore, she came back to question Mu Xuncheng, and when she saw Mu Xuncheng's reaction, she also knew in her heart, it seems that what the people said must be true.
Mu Mu was here in Mu Xun City, and she didn't gain anything, but it verified the facts she heard today.
In the evening, Ling Fei'er cooked another big table of meals as usual, and the four of them sat around the table, with an indescribable embarrassment and weirdness.
Ling Fei'er kept recommending her achievements to the two elders of the Mu family, and the two old men accepted it perfunctorily in politeness.
An embarrassing dinner finally came to an end, but after the meal, the second elder of the Mu family was in no hurry to leave.
Looking at the two old men sitting at the dinner table, Ling Fei'er had no choice but to stay in place with a smiling face.
But obviously, the second elder of the Mu family did not appreciate it.
Mu Mu glanced at Ling Fei'er with a serious expression, and then at Mu Xuncheng with an impatient face.
finally spoke slowly: "Miss Ling, you have lived in my house for a while. ”
Ling Fei'er didn't know why the old man suddenly asked like this, but out of politeness, she still nodded.
"Your parents are fine, the last time we saw them was two years ago."
"The health of the two elders is fine, and I am tired of Aunt Mu." Ling Fei'er replied politely.
"When people get old, they start to rely on their children, and when they were young, they didn't have this feeling, but in recent years, this feeling has become more and more intense. If Miss Ling has time, she should spend more time with her parents, right? Mu Mu had an amiable smile on her face, and her words were also appropriate, but in people's ears, it made people feel very distant.
Ling Fei'er heard the meaning of Mu Mu's words, so she had no choice but to turn her eyes to Mu Xuncheng for help.
Mu Xuncheng looked at his father, who was sitting on the side without saying a word, and his mother, who was ready to go, and knew that these two were prepared today.
"Mom, Fei'er is staying here for the time being, and this matter is up to me." Mu Xuncheng stood up and made his position clear.
"Nonsense." Old Man Mu slapped the table, and the dishes on the table were shocked.
"What stupid things are you talking about, how can you let Miss Ling, an unmarried girl, live in our Mu family so unclearly, this is not good for Miss Ling." Mu's mother blamed her son and said that although she considered Ling Fei'er in every sentence, she couldn't say a word to Ling Fei'er, and she was worthy of being an old-timer who had been in the mall for many years.
"Hmph, Fei'er hasn't lived here for a day or two, so you don't care about this matter." Mu Xuncheng's attitude is also very tough, this is not for Ling Fei'er, but to maintain his dignity.
"You still say, where did Qingxi go? Did you drive Qingxi away just for her? Mu Mu finally couldn't help it and stood up: "Let me tell you, our Mu family, can't do this kind of unclear thing, you will bring Qingxi back to me immediately tomorrow, and you will also solve her affairs for me." Mu Mu pointed to Ling Fei'er on the side, and she no longer had the calmness she had just now.
"Lengqingxi's affairs, you don't have to worry about it anymore, I have my own measure." Mu Xuncheng was very dissatisfied with Mu Mu's cooking.
"I can ignore her affairs for the time being, but Qingxi, you have to get it back for me, don't think I don't know about your things. Even if you love to play anymore, I don't care, but if this matter is known to the outside world, or even hyped up, son, you should know the consequences. Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Mu Mu completely ignored Ling Fei'er.
Mu Xuncheng saw Mu Mu say this, and he also knew the severity.
"Okay, Fei'er's affairs, don't worry about it, I'll take care and bring Leng Qingxi back, how about it?"
Mu Mu nodded: "Well, that's pretty much it." ”
After speaking, the second elder of the Mu family got up and walked out, completely ignoring Ling Fei'er, who was sitting on the side with a frozen face.
