The car drove for about half an hour, and finally stopped in my uneasy mood.

After getting out of the car, we found that the car was parked in front of a courtyard, and Uncle Chen helped us take our luggage and led us to the courtyard.

I looked up at this courtyard as I walked, and saw the blue bricks with Daiwa mahogany and vermilion lacquer, the pure architectural style of the Republic of China, and the whole courtyard made people feel a strong sense of age as soon as they entered it.

Although the courtyard has been around for a long time, the wooden porch and eaves carved with various birds, animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects can be said to be quite well maintained.

Being in it makes people's hearts feel calmed down unconsciously, perhaps this is the charm of the times, which can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and if you don't experience it yourself, you won't feel this feeling.

I thought that with Mu Xichun's father's identity and status, most of the places where he lived were as luxurious as Mu Xichun's villa in City A, but what I never expected was that his mansion was actually such a cultural relic-level courtyard house.

Although I have not carefully studied the courtyard houses in Beijing, I have heard that the price of the imperial city is not appropriate to describe it as an inch of land and gold, because no matter how expensive gold is, it will eventually have a price, and this kind of ancient building that exists like a cultural relic is the only one in the world.

For this reason, in order to protect these historical and cultural heritages, the state also specially formulated a series of laws in the early years, which clearly stipulate that these buildings cannot be destroyed, demolished or rebuilt at will.

Under this premise, the price can be imagined, and it is not just a matter of money to have such a courtyard house.

Looking around at this huge courtyard, I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart, and my understanding of Mu Xichun's father had improved to a new level.

Just when my emotions were in amazement, Uncle Chen stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Old lady, young lady is back!" There was some excitement and excitement in the tone.

Immediately after that, a middle-aged man came out of the main house, the middle-aged man was about fifty years old, tall and thin, with a bit of heroism between his eyebrows, and his hair was meticulously combed back.

This person is dressed in a light blue Tang suit, with several strings of Buddhist beads wrapped around his wrist, the texture and color are different, but it can be seen that they are all superior on his wrist, and he is also playing with a huge dzi in his hand.

I know that this person is the second-in-command of Hongji Group, who has long heard of his name, and is also the second largest shareholder of the group, Mu Xichun's father Mu Zhongren.

The moment I saw this man again, I felt an invisible pressure pressing on me, and even though this man had only just appeared in my field of vision, and had not even approached me, I could still feel the pressure that was almost unbearable.

I know that this pressure was actually imposed on me by myself, and Mu Zhongren may not have even looked at me, but his appearance undoubtedly made me? I felt more clearly how huge the class gap between me and him was.

Although I had a psychological plan before this, there must be many obstacles to cross in my relationship with Mu Xichun, but I still had courage and confidence at that time, but at this moment I know that my courage and confidence are still not ready.

I saw Mu Zhongren come to Mu Xichun quickly, patted Mu Xichun's shoulder with a happy face, and said, "Girl, how long have you not come back to see us!" If the group hadn't summoned you this time, would you never have thought of coming back to see your parents? ”

Mu Zhongren's tone sounded as if he was reproaching, but from the reproachful words, he could feel his thoughts and concern for his daughter.

"Dad, look at what you said, as if your daughter has no conscience, how long has it been since I last came back to see you? Are you confused and don't remember? ”

Mu Xichun took Mu Zhongren's hand and said in a coquettish tone.

I heard Mu Xichun blurt out such words as being old and confused, and I could see that her father must have doted on her for a long time.

Sure enough, Mu Zhongren was not angry at all, but laughed and reached out and patted Mu Xichun's head, his eyes were pampered

stared at Mu Xichun's face.

"My girl is really getting more and more beautiful, I really don't know how good my future son-in-law should be to be worthy of my daughter!" Mu Zhongren said with a smile.

"Dad! How can you say such a thing again? Do you want your daughter to be married? Mu Xichun said shyly, and glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.

I kept standing aside and didn't speak, but when I heard Mu Zhongren's words just now, I couldn't help but feel the invisible pressure in my heart a little heavier.

If he chooses a son-in-law according to his criteria, I'm afraid that ten of me together will not be worthy of his daughter.

Mu Zhongren seemed to be completely immersed in the joy of the father-daughter meeting, as if he had completely ignored my existence, but I could only stand quietly in this situation, I was worried that if I interrupted the joy of his father-daughter meeting now, would it destroy the first impression I gave him?

Fortunately, Mu Xichun quickly reacted and introduced everyone to him: "Dad, this is my assistant, called Wei Jinsheng!" ”

"Mu is always good!" I didn't stretch out my hand and take the initiative to shake hands with him, but bowed slightly to Mu Zhongren to show etiquette, and tried my best to show neither humility nor arrogance, because I felt that with my status, I am afraid that I am not qualified to shake hands with him.

Who knew that Mu Zhongren took the initiative to stretch out his hand after hearing Mu Xichun's introduction.

Seeing this scene, I hurriedly stretched out my right hand and shook it shallowly.

"Hello! Mr. Wei, thank you for your support to my daughter! The results of the A city branch are all in the eyes! Mu Zhongren smiled.

"This is all my business, Mr. Mu is welcome!" I tried my best to be calm, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, in fact, there was a lot of vibration in my heart, and I could still have this cultivation in a high position, which shows that his bearing is extraordinary.

"Dad, what about my mom, why didn't you see her!" Mu Xichun raised his eyes and asked Mu Zhongren.

"Your mother knew that you were coming back, and she started preparing lunch early in the morning, and I said let the chef do it, and she said that she knew your tastes better and had to cook it herself, and she was still working in the kitchen!" Mu Zhongren said with a smile.

As soon as Mu Zhongren's words fell, a middle-aged woman hurriedly came out of the east wing, although this woman is middle-aged, but she is very well maintained, not only her figure is not out of shape, but her face is good, it can be seen that she must have been a beauty when she was young, and there is no doubt that this woman must be Mu Xichun's mother.

Mu Xichun was born so good-looking, naturally inheriting the common advantages of his parents.

"Mom!" Mu Xichun saw the woman come out, trotted over and gave her a big hug.

"Girl, you're back, it's going to be cold if you eat later!" Mu Xichun's mother saw her daughter with a happy expression on her face.

"Mom, what delicious food have you made, Dad said you have to cook it yourself, I haven't eaten your dishes for a long time!"

"It's all your favorite food, wash your hands quickly, and you can start eating right away."

When Mu Xichun's mother said this, her eyes finally saw my side, and she asked her daughter with a puzzled look: "Girl, who is this?" ”

"Mom, this is my assistant, he came with me, there are some things in the company that he needs to help me deal with, his name is Wei Jinsheng, you call him Xiao Wei!"

Mu Xichun introduced me again.

"Hello ma'am!" I bowed to her slightly.

"It's Xiao Wei, I've worked hard for you all the way, come here like your own home, don't be restrained!" She said in a kind tone.

I smiled back and nodded, but didn't speak.

After Mu Xichun and I washed up briefly, the food had been put on the table, and a huge round dining table was full of all kinds of dishes, which showed that they had made sufficient preparations for their daughter's return home this time, which further illustrated their love for this only daughter.

I can't help but think of my mother again, it's just that my family has been poor since I was a child, and my mother can't give me too much material enjoyment, but why doesn't my mother love me so much?

It's just that my mother has a hard life, and she left me when I was able to support her, and this is also a regret that I can't make up, and I can't help but feel dark when I think about it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It's just that I'm not showing it at the moment.

Family reunion is a happy thing, and this time Mu Xichun came for Zhang Fatzi's business.

According to my inference, this time Zhang Fatzi's matter was exposed, and the forces behind it will definitely be reined in, and Mu Zhongren's side will also benefit from it, and Mu Xichun's achievements in the branch are obvious to all, at least on the table, Mu Zhongren will have the upper hand slightly.

Mu Zhongren seemed to be quite happy, and he was quite polite to me during the banquet, and even took out a bottle of Moutai that had been treasured for many years and drank a few glasses with me.

Mu Xichun sat beside her mother, saying some inconsequential homely words.

Because the visitor is a guest, although I am dissolute by nature, but I don't dare to be presumptuous here, after all, it is possible that the person sitting in front of me may be my future father-in-law.

Fortunately, Mu Zhongren didn't ask me too many other questions except for frequent toasts and dishes, which made me feel a little less stressed, which also shows that he is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and understands the truth that things at work should not be brought to life.

I thought that this family banquet was spent in danger, but I didn't expect that there were some small accidents on the way.

Mu Xichun is probably also extremely hungry, and he is in his own home, so he doesn't have to be pretentious, and he can't help but be bold.

Mu's mother saw her daughter eating like this, probably because of the overflow of maternal love, and felt that her daughter must have something to eat and drink when she was alone, so she would have such a eating appearance.

"Girl, is the southern diet not to your taste, and is it not good to eat normally?" Mu's mother asked her daughter lovingly.

Mu Xichun didn't feel her mother's pity, and while eating the food in the bowl without distraction, she replied casually: "No, Mom, I'm quite used to it, and Wei Jinsheng's cooking is also delicious, he often cooks for me!" ”

I was eating while I was eating, and I almost didn't squirt out the food in my mouth when I heard this.

The speaker had no intention of listening, and sure enough, Mu Mu and Mu Zhongren couldn't help but look at me when they heard this.

"Isn't Xiao Wei your assistant? Why do I even need to cook for you? Mu Mu withdrew her eyes from me with a puzzled face, and looked back at Mu Xichun.

Mu Xichun felt speechless at this time, and the hand that was picking up rice in her mouth stopped, and a pair of big eyes looked at me and then at Mu Zhongren, and finally stopped on her mother's face.

He ...... It's my assistant, but he has a friend who runs a restaurant, not far from the company, I often go to his house to eat, and my assistant cooking skills are also very good, often go to his friend's store to help, so my dishes are often fried by him, and he will understand my taste after a long time! Right! That's it! ”

Although Mu Xichun's lying skills are not very clever, this lie is quite reasonable, and I am secretly relieved when I hear it.

"That's right!" Mu Mu nodded silently, with a sudden expression.

"That's really thanks to Xiao Wei, I think Xiao Wei is also an honest person, you can't treat Xiao Wei badly!" Mu Mu looked at me and then at Mu Xichun and said, obviously she mainly wanted me to express her gratitude.

I was afraid that I would say too much, so I didn't say anything but smiled back.

But who knew that Mu Xichun burst out laughing: "He's honest?" Mom, you don't know, he usually ......" Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, as if she realized that I was just her assistant at the moment, and I was afraid that there would be a risk of revealing my stuff if I continued to talk about it, but fortunately, she stopped in time.

I couldn't help but pinch my heart again, my heart beat like a roller coaster, I was so glad I didn't have a heart attack, otherwise she would have killed me at this dinner table.

I can probably guess what she didn't say later, she probably wanted to say: You didn't see it when he usually bullied your daughter, he is not an honest person!
