Mu Zhongren patted the table, and said with a somewhat cold expression: "Xiao Wei is right, I think this matter is settled." If you have any objections to your previous candidate, just say that this is my decision, and let him come to me. ”

Mu Xichun stared at Mu Zhongren with a trace of gloom on his face, and argued: "Dad! How can you do that? Can you please not interfere in my affairs? ”

"How did this become your thing? This is a branch business, that is, a group business. Why can't I be this master? Mu Zhongren said with a displeased expression.

I saw that if the situation continued like this, I was afraid that it would not be able to end, so I hurriedly stood up and pulled Mu Xichun to the chair and said, "Today is my uncle's birthday, don't make my uncle angry, it's not too late to talk about this matter later." As I spoke, I winked at her and motioned for her to calm down.

At this time, Aunt Wu came out of the round and said: "It's all your own family, don't hurt your peace because of this little thing, I think Xiao Wei is right, this matter doesn't have to be discussed now, it's not too late to talk about it later!" Everyone said a few words, hurry up and eat, you see this dish is cold! ”

As he spoke, he stood up and picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of pork rib soup for Mu Xichun.

Mu Xichun was still in the mood to drink soup, sitting on the chair angrily, her pretty face flushed.

At this time, Ah Wei slowly turned his head to look at me, still with a vague smile on his face, as if his emotions were not affected in the slightest, as if this argument had nothing to do with him at all.

"I wonder if this position was left to Mr. Wei by Xichun? If that's the case, then I'm not going to take it away! ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect that this Ah Wei was not only very good at doing some superficial work, but also extremely out-of-the-box, he could guess the root of the problem by observing words and looks.

"Of course not, how can I have this ability!" I replied with a smile that things have come to this point, and if I admit it at this moment, I'm afraid everyone here will be embarrassed.

At this time, I suddenly felt that Mu Xichun, who was sitting next to me, was looking at me, although I didn't look at her, I could feel this from the corner of my eye, she was probably extremely dissatisfied with my denial of the matter.

"It's up to me to decide this matter, so it's decided!" Mu Zhongren saw that Mu Xichun was no longer talking, and made a final conclusion.

Mu Xichun wanted to say something, I touched her leg under the table with my leg, signaling her not to object to anything, this matter is probably a foregone conclusion by this time, if she refutes it again, the scene will be ugly.

Mu Xichun's chest rose and fell, and she could see that she was very angry at her father's arbitrariness, but in the end she didn't say anything.

A trace of bitterness surged in my heart, but I didn't expect that all the efforts Mu Xichun made for me were completely denied by her father.

Although no one mentioned the matter again, the original harmonious atmosphere at the dinner table was destroyed.

The two women were instantly cold, trying their best to make amends, embarrassingly giving food to a few people with their own thoughts, but their efforts to save it were in vain.

At the moment, except for the two children, none of the rest of the people were in the mood to continue eating in this atmosphere. Mu Zhongren's birthday dinner finally ended hastily after this little episode.

I saw that this atmosphere was no longer suitable for me to continue to stay, so I got up and said goodbye to Mu Zhongren and the others: "Uncle and aunt, it's not early, you have a hard day, rest early, I won't bother." ”

Mu Xichun originally wanted to drive me, but I refused.

"Uncle and aunt finally came here, you just stay at home and accompany them, and I'll take a taxi back by myself!"

Mu Xichun hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.

Mu Zhongren got up and said, "Okay, Xiao Wei, I'll send you!" ”

I excused myself and said no, but Mu Zhongren still smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, seeing this scene I didn't say anything, waved my hand to everyone, turned around and walked towards the door.

When I was about to walk to the door, I suddenly kicked something under my feet, and when I looked down, I found that the game of golden silk nanmu chess I gave to Mu Zhongren was scattered all over the ground at the moment, and my heart couldn't help but hurt slightly, but in the end I still pretended that nothing had happened

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

Walked out.

When I got out of the door of the villa, I turned around and wanted to open my mouth so that Mu Zhongren didn't have to send it back, but I didn't expect Mu Zhongren to open his mouth first.

"Xiao Wei, I'm really embarrassed, I wanted to take this opportunity to get together, but I didn't expect it to be like this, which made you laugh!"

I hurriedly replied: "Uncle, what's the matter, it's just that Xichun has a strong personality, and some things inevitably lost proportion to contradict uncle, but I think she will figure it out!" ”

"You seem to know her well?" Mu Zhongren looked at me with blazing eyes.

My heart shook slightly, and I could tell from the look in his eyes that he seemed to have something else to say.

"In fact, the last time you went back to Beijing with my daughter, I could already see her thoughts, knowing her daughter, Mo Ruo's father, I can see this from the way she looks at you. She doesn't even want to spend some time with her parents, whom she hasn't seen in a long time, to be with you, and that's enough to prove that I'm right. ”

I was silent, it turned out that at that time, he had already seen the relationship between me and Mu Xichun, but he never said it.

"Since you and my daughter were already in a relationship at that time, why didn't you explain it to me at that time?" Mu Zhongren asked.

"Uncle Mu is right, at that time, we did entrust each other with our feelings, and we didn't explain it to my uncle, just because at that time, I wasn't mentally prepared enough." I tried to be calm, but I was telling the truth.

"So it looks like you're ready now?" Mu Zhongren still looked at me motionlessly.

I didn't know what to do with him, so I chose to remain silent.

"Young people love each other, and it's a good thing to do. But I don't think you thought about what it would mean for you to be in love with my daughter! ”

My heart rate gradually increased, and I knew that what he was going to say next was his attitude towards Mu Xichun's relationship with me.

"You know that I am the vice president of the group, and the chairman has resigned, if there is no accident, I will be the next chairman, and the group will be completely controlled by me." At this point, he paused slightly, and finally looked away from my face.

He looked up at the deep night, and then said, "And I am such a daughter, she will undoubtedly be the successor of the group." And the premise of all this is that she needs to have a husband who can assist her in her career. This person must have enough strength and background, and of course, ability. ”

My restless heart slowly became cold, and my body's perception of the outside world gradually became numb, and Mu Zhongren's words continued.

"I don't say this to discourage you, but I want you to understand that life is long, and love is only an insignificant part of life, and marriage is a long process. If there is no love, then an unequal marriage will not end well. ”

"As men, we have to think about what we can bring to each other in marriage! If marriage is only a one-sided take-off without giving, it will be the most selfish act. ”

"Maybe you can't understand that I am talking about marriage so utilitarian, you will think that love is the most important ingredient in marriage. But what I want to say is that the shelf life of love is extremely short, whether you believe this sentence or not, but all the examples prove the correctness of this sentence, no matter how much two people love each other, after a few years or more than ten years, the so-called love will become boring. Only a reciprocal marriage is the most basic guarantee for a long time. ”

"What I'm saying you may not be able to understand right now, I'm mainly trying to make you understand one thing! You're not the right fit for my daughter. ”

Mu Zhongren turned his back to me, looked into the distance, and slowly spit out this sentence that he had laid down for a long time.

My heart finally dropped to freezing point when he said this. I wanted to tell him out loud that I would work hard to be the kind of person he wanted to be, and that I would eventually become someone who would help his daughter's career, but I didn't say anything.

I just wanted to save the last shred of dignity for myself, because I knew that these words were nothing more than nonsense in his eyes, and there was no guarantee that if I didn't say them, even if one day, I could do it, maybe it wasn't something to be proud of in his eyes.

"I may be cruel to say this, but if you really love her, I'm sure you'll understand, because we all have the same intention, and we all want her to be happy. So I hope you will consider my words carefully. ”

"If you agree with me, I will get you a better position in the group so that you can live a new life, which is not a good thing for you. Or if you have your own ideas, you can also put them forward to me, I will definitely satisfy you, even if I can't do it, I will find a way to achieve your wishes! ”

"But in any case, your relationship with my daughter should not continue. As you heard just now, Ah Wei and Xichun had a verbal agreement between our two families when they were children, although this method seems ridiculous now, but our two families do have this intention. And Ah Wei is the kind of person I mentioned earlier, he is the most suitable person who can help our Mu family control the group. ”

"It's just that don't get me wrong, I'm not using my daughter's life's events as a bargaining chip to control the group, compared to my daughter's happiness, I'd rather give up everything, I can guarantee this."

When Mu Zhongren finally finished speaking, he slowly turned to look at me, his gaze was as firm as iron, and he seemed to tell me with his eyes that what he said was definitely not a joke.

"This may be a little difficult for you to accept for a while, but I think you can understand what I mean, and I will give you the compensation you deserve afterwards!"

I slowly raised my head and stared at Mu Zhongren's eyes, at this moment I suddenly stopped being afraid of him, he was just Mu Xichun's father, how could he decide where my feelings belonged.

A wave of anger rose in my cold heart, stared at him and said slowly: "There is no need for compensation, should you listen to my thoughts after you finish speaking!" I don't know much about it, and I don't know what the relationship between marriage and love is, so I don't think about it that much. I only know one thing, I love your daughter, no matter how different our status is, I love her, and there is only one way to get me to leave her, and that is to let your daughter tell me in person that I should stop loving her, and if you can do this, I will automatically disappear in front of her without your appearance. So you better go to your daughter's job first! ”

I said this categorically, and I didn't avoid Mu Zhongren's gaze at all, since my face has been torn, what else do I have to worry about.

Mu Zhongren looked at me for a long time and nodded slowly.

"It seems that you didn't understand what I meant, in fact, there is a sentence that is difficult to hear, I didn't want to say it, but since you are so confident, it doesn't hurt to say it! You don't deserve my daughter at all, although you do look like a promising young man today! ”

He looked me up and down: "But I think I'm afraid that even your suit was bought for you by my daughter!" Think about what you can do for my daughter? There are thousands of ways to succeed, and there are many shortcuts, but you have chosen the one that I despise the most! Then I'll just have to deal with it my way. Since you don't take the broad road I gave you, you have narrowed the road yourself! Mu Zhongren's gaze became cold.

I was not afraid to say, "Your method? Can I understand that you are threatening me? ”

"If you have to think so, that's fine, but I still hope we don't get to this point."

I smiled sadly, and he said with a forced gaze: "Although I, Wei, have nothing and have been in a state for half my life, I am always afraid of gains and losses, but coincidentally, I am the only one who is not afraid of threats, so you can't scare me!" I still say the same thing, unless your daughter tells me personally, I will never betray our feelings, let alone leave her because of any of your interests and threats! I said as I strode away.

Mu Zhongren stood behind me without saying a word, although I didn't look back, I could feel that he had been watching me from behind, as for what expression on his face at the moment, I don't know.
