Chapter 12: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
He had been here for a night in Fu Sinian, and it was time to go back and face Lin Xinlian.
Fu Sinian had already left at this time, she thought about it, left a note with "thank you" written on the table in his apartment, and set out on the way back to Mu's house.
At this time, the Mu family was filled with a low air pressure, and Lin Xinlian wiped the non-existent tears in the corners of her eyes and cried:
ββ¦β¦ I couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people, and I was even offended by the blind date! What else will I do if I am rumored out in the future? β
Mu Ci heard Lin Xinlian's words as soon as she entered the door, she glanced at Mu Canglin, who was sitting on the sofa with a calm face, and tears flowed down her eyes.
"Dad, it's all my bad ......"
Crying and falling in front of Mu Cangrin, she choked her voice while wiping her tears: "Mom is all for my good, I want to find a good husband for me, but, but my mother was also deceived......"
Originally, Mu Canglin was still a little angry because of Lin Xinlian's words, but when she saw her daughter so sad, most of the unhappiness in her heart disappeared unconsciously.
"You cry as soon as you come back, as if I was bullying you."
Lin Xinlian on the side was also stunned by Mu Ci's performance, and only then came back to his senses.
She looked at Mu Canglin unhappily, "You have to ask her what she has done!" can make Young Master Chen so angry! β
At this time, under Mu Cangrin's comfort, Mu Ci, who had calmed down a little, raised his head with red eyes, like a harmless little white rabbit to humans and animals.
She looked at her father and sobbed:
"Mom said that she found me a fiancΓ© who is better than the Lu family, but ......"
As she spoke, there was a hesitant look on her face, which made Mu Cangrin nervous and asked her, "But what's the matter?" β
Lin Xinlian became angry when she saw her pitiful look, and now she sneered;
"Chen Gongzi's family is well-off, and he can be regarded as a famous young talent in Haishi, why can't he be worthy of you? You don't think about marrying Fu Sinian, right? β
Before she finished speaking, Mu Ci sobbed again, "Mom must have been deceived!" The man was fat, big-eared, and looked to be thirty or forty years old......"
Just hearing this, Mu Canglin was furious.
He glared at Lin Xinlian, and his long eyebrows were about to stand up: "This is the fiancΓ© you said is better than the Lu family?" β
Lin Xinlian didn't dare to be angry with her husband, but when she looked at this daughter who was pampered by her husband, she became angry, "You have learned to reverse black and white!" It's really the daughter of a fox! The same slut! β
Seeing that Mu Canglin was about to quarrel with Lin Xinlian, Mu Ci grabbed his father's hand and shook it, his eyes were full of understanding:
"Dad, it's not like that! Mom must have been deceived too! She didn't go in with me, she didn't see this man, and my mother must have been good for me......"
The more she spoke, the more firm her tone became, and then she looked at Lin Xinlian, who was glaring at her angrily:
"Mom, who have you been deceived by? That man is old and ugly, not a young talent at all, if I don't kick him out, such a thing will be known by others, and you will definitely say that you are biased behind your back! β
She is now righteous and awe-inspiring!
Looking at her daughter, who was full of trust in her eyes, and her husband who was looking at her with displeasure, Lin Xinlian couldn't say anything.
Suppressing the anger in her heart again and again, she spoke dryly:
"Yes, it was introduced by Mrs. Li, who played mahjong together, saying that the family had money and had business dealings with our Mu family, and I thought she wouldn't lie to me, so I ...... it."
"Confused!"
Mu Canglin was so furious when she heard this, "You are so concerned about Mu Xue's marriage!" Why can't you give a little bit of attention to Mu porcelain? She was raised in front of you and honored you for more than ten years, even if you are not related by blood, you should think more about her! β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Mu Ci, who was still whimpering in small pieces, the resentment in Lin Xinlian's eyes was almost about to spew out.
But in the end, he pulled the corners of his mouth: "This time I was sloppy." β
When this matter arrived here, it could be regarded as having a step down, and Mu Ci stood up and gently snuggled in Lin Xinlian's arms, as if he trusted his mother wholeheartedly.
"Mom, I really didn't mean to."
Holding Lin Xinlian's stiff waist, the corners of Mu Ci's mouth raised a secret happy smile, but her mouth was soft and delicate, as if she was very dependent on her:
"I was angry as soon as I entered the box, my mother loved me so much, and I deliberately chose to be at the Narada Hotel...... How is it possible for me to marry such a man? β
"Yes, that's right."
It's good that she didn't mention it, but when she thought that she couldn't steal chickens and rice, and settled the tens of thousands of accounts for her, Lin Xinlian's mouth was crooked!
Pushing Mu Ci away quite uncomfortably, Lin Xinlian turned to look at Mu Cangrin, and her tone was concerned:
"It's true that I didn't inquire about this matter, but now the cooperation between the Mu family and the Chen family has been ruined, what can I do? There's always a solution, right? β
As long as her husband loosens his mouth a little, she can continue her previous plan and send Mu Ci to Young Master Chen's bed!
"As long as Xiao Porcelain is not wronged, the cooperation is gone! can force a well-behaved girl like Xiao Porcelain to shout for help, I don't think he's a good thing! β
Looking at her daughter with red eyes, Mu Cangrin's eyes softened, "Xiao porcelain, you go upstairs to rest first, take a bath and sleep well." β
Unexpectedly, his blind date was also related to the family's business, Mu Ci originally wanted to lift his feet upstairs, but when he heard their conversation, he was reluctant to go up.
Because of the memories of her previous life, she knew that her family's business was far less optimistic than it seemed.
She shook Mu Canglin's hand expectantly:
"Dad, I've grown up too, is there anything I can't know about the family?"
Mu Canglin's face was gloomy and he didn't want to open his mouth, but Lin Xinlian couldn't wait to speak:
"What I said is, if our Mu family is still the same as before, it will be fine, but in the current situation, why do you continue to put on the shelf of the eldest lady?"
Lin Xinlian's mouth made Mu Canglin's originally preoccupied face more and more ugly, he glared at her, and then softened his tone:
"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. It's just that this business is gone. Besides, you're just a student, and you can't help with your family's business. It's okay for you to still be a father's little princess. β
Speaking of the suspended cooperation case, Mu Cangrin's face became more and more unsightly.
He didn't want to tell his daughter about his business troubles.
But at Mu Ci's insistence, he had to let go.
"Originally, without your mother's involvement, this cooperation case should have been successfully completed, and the things had already been produced, and they called last night and said no."
Lin Xinlian, who was blamed, wanted to refute that it was clearly the fault of Mu Ci, a little slut who didn't know what to do, but when she thought of her husband's love for her, she still kept her mouth shut.
Hearing this news, Mu Ci's heart moved.
Although she didn't pay much attention to business matters, she also remembered that a technology company in Fu Sinian's later year also needed such materials.
I just don't know if he has any interest in investing in this area now.
If she can use this matter to promote the cooperation between the Fu family and the Mu family, firstly, she can solve the dilemma of the family's business, and secondly, she can take this opportunity to get closer to Fu Sinian, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
When Lin Xinlian was secretly slashing her with an eye knife, and Mu Canglin also sighed for a long time, she hesitated to speak:
"Dad, if I have a way to solve the inventory matter, will the family's business be saved?"
"What can you do?"
As soon as she spoke, Lin Xinlian looked her up and down with some disdain, and then spoke:
"If you want me to say, as long as Young Master Chen is angry now, this business can still be saved."
The implication is that Mu Canglin wants Mu Canglin to send Mu porcelain to the Chen family to make amends.
Mu Cangrin's eyes were horizontal and he was about to get angry, but Mu Ci held down his hand, his eyebrows and eyes were calm:
"Dad, I'm not sure, but I'd like to give it a try."
"yes, Cangrin, why don't you let her try."
Seeing Mu Canglin's face, Lin Xinlian knew that he was reluctant to let Mu Ci suffer, but she didn't.
A smile squeezed out of her face: "Maybe Xiao Porcelain really has a way to solve it?" You say, don't you? β
As she spoke, Lin Xinlian glanced at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly following her words: "Dad, you see that your mother believes in you, you might as well let me try!" β
"That's it, you're not too young, it's good to come out early and have a long experience."
couldn't bear the double requests of his wife and daughter, Mu Canglin finally nodded.
It's just that he didn't believe that Xiao Ci could solve this matter, and told her before entering the study:
"Don't push yourself too hard, call your dad at any time when you're in trouble."
"Uh-huh!"
Nodding heavily, after watching Mu Cangrin's figure disappear at the door of the study, Mu Ci was about to go back to his room, but was stopped by Lin Xinlian.
"Mom, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Blinking innocent eyes, Mu Ci looked at her.
"There's something I want to tell you."
Her husband is still in the study, Lin Xinlian will not be stupid enough to continue to do something to Mu Ci, but the hypocritical smile on her face finally can't be maintained:
"Little porcelain, you may not know the real situation at home."
As she spoke, she took Mu Ci's hand, and her face, which had always been strong, showed a little sadness.
"Mom, what's going on at home?"
With confusion and incomprehension on his face, Mu Ci looked at Lin Xinlian, "How do I feel that my father is hiding something from me." β
"Actually, I didn't ask you to get back to that house yesterday, not for your sister."
As soon as the tears fell, Lin Xinlian clenched Mu Ci's hand, looking sad, as if the woman who stared at Mu Ci resentfully before was not her:
"Your father's business has encountered a hurdle that can't be overcome, but he won't tell you anyway, I can only find a way to raise money by myself, this time your blind date with Chen Gongzi was indeed arranged by me, but I just want to save your father's career!"
