The Lu family.
It was not a good morning for Lu Xize.
Just as he had managed to calm down Shen Qingxue and returned home, a teacup came flying towards him and hit him on the forehead, causing blood to spurt out.
Dazed by the sudden attack, Lu Xize angrily asked, “Dad! What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? I’ll kill you, you ungrateful child!” Lu Tao shouted with a grim face.
“I finally managed to secure a project, and you ruined it! All you do is cause trouble!”
“Dad! What are you talking about?” Lu Xize protested.
“What did you do at Xiaoxiang Pavilion today? Don’t you know it’s owned by the second young master of the Huo family? How dare you cause trouble on their turf! Do you want me to die sooner?” Lu Tao’s face turned red with anger.
Lu Xize was dumbfounded.
What?
Xiaoxiang Pavilion was owned by the second young master of the Huo family?
The guy he had shouted at earlier was the second young master?
He and Shen Qingxue had caused a scene and ruined a major project for the Lu family.
How could they have been so reckless?
As Lu Tao continued to scold him, Lu Xize felt a surge of frustration.
It wasn’t Shen Qingxue’s fault.
She was gentle and considerate.
It was all because of Shen Mu’s interference that they had caused trouble.
He had decided to call off the wedding.
Lu’s mother’s face turned pale with anger.
“Son, your mother has never been wrong about people! Little Mu is sensible and has a good sense of the big picture. Her mother was also a business genius back then!”
“Putting aside her personality and background, when Little Mu’s mother and us made a marriage agreement, she left her brokerage company as her dowry. If you marry her, the company will be yours!”
Lu Xize waved his hand impatiently.
“I don’t care about Shen Mu’s company! I only want Xue’er! Besides, who gets the dowry is up to Uncle Shen to decide!”
Lu’s mother said angrily, “Xize! You’ll regret it when Little Mu marries someone else!”
“I will never regret it!” Lu Xize declared confidently.
How could he regret it when Shen Qingxue was more beautiful, sensible, gentle, and kind than Shen Mu?
Lu Tao shouted in anger, “I don’t care who you marry! If you don’t make up for the deficit in the Huo project, you can forget about being the vice president of Lu’s!”
When Shen Qingxue returned to the Shen family, Xu Ruyun immediately greeted her and asked, “How did it go? What did President Huo say?”
Shen Qingxue smiled awkwardly.
“President Huo…was too busy today, he was in meetings all day.
Xize and I didn’t want to disturb him…”The old man asked, “So you didn’t even meet him?”
“No!” Shen Qingxue immediately denied it.
“Of course we met him! President Huo has agreed to attend the birthday banquet. It’s just that we didn’t want to bring up last night’s incident and delay his work.” Find the original chapter at novelping dot com.
Xu Ruyun burst into laughter: “Of course, of course. Since Mr. Huo has agreed to attend the birthday banquet, he must have let go of what happened last night.”
The old man nodded: “That’s right. By the way, where did Little Mu go? Why haven’t we seen her all day?”
Shen Qingxue’s eyes rolled around, and she hesitantly said, “Sister… Sister went to Xiao Xiang Xuan for dinner with a man today…”
“A man? What man?” The old man was stunned.
Shen Qingxue shook her head: “I didn’t see clearly, but he should be a CEO or something. Not everyone can go to a place like Xiao Xiang Xuan.”
“She’s still engaged.
What kind of behavior is this?” The old man roared, “Doesn’t she have any family education?
Bring her back to me!
Isn’t it embarrassing enough these days?”
Shen Qingxue sneered in her heart.
Shen Mu dared to compete with her for Lu Xize, and she would make Shen Mu know how powerful she was!
Ansheng Hospital.
When Shen Mu woke up, the phone next to her pillow kept ringing.
She answered it with a weak and soft voice, “Hello?””Little Mu!
Are you sleeping?” Xu Ruyun’s sharp voice was almost piercing, “It’s broad daylight!
Where are you sleeping?”
Shen Mu frowned, then checked the caller ID and asked, “Aunt Xu, is something wrong?”
Xu Ruyun’s voice was sharp and piercing: “Of course something is wrong! Come back quickly! Grandpa already knows about you and that man. He’s scolding you for being shameless! Come back and explain yourself!”
After the phone call was hung up, Shen Mu blinked in confusion.
Who was that man?
And why did Xu Ruyun put another hat on her head?
She checked her well-wrapped wrist, got up and left the ward in a hurry.
Ouyang Jin’s anxious voice came from behind her, “Miss Shen, where are you going?”
“Home!”
Ouyang Jin watched Shen Mu’s angry figure leave, and the word “home” made her sound like she was going to war.
Ouyang Jin took out her phone and joked, “Mr. Huo, Miss Shen might have gone to fight on the battlefield. I’ve delivered the message, but I really can’t stop her.”
As soon as Shen Mu entered the house, the atmosphere in the living room became oppressive.
Grandpa Shen gave her a gloomy look and asked, “Little Mu, where did you go this morning?”
“I went out for breakfast,” Shen Mu replied, changing her shoes.”With whom?” Grandpa Shen raised his voice and shouted.
Shen Mu opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
If she said it was with Huo Yunxiao, it would be hard to explain. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“With whom did you have breakfast?” Grandpa Shen shouted again.
Shen Qingxue sat on the side and said lightly, “Sister, just admit it. Grandpa already knows.”
“Is that so?” Shen Mu raised an eyebrow.
“What does Grandpa know?”
“You didn’t come back last night before the banquet, and you went out early this morning. When Mom called you, you didn’t know where you were sleeping. Grandpa heard it all. Why don’t you admit it? Do you want to anger Grandpa?” Shen Qingxue gritted her teeth.
This Shen Mu really was shameless!
Shen Qingxue looked pained and indignant.
Shen Mu smiled and said, “With someone like you who twists right and wrong and black and white, running around causing trouble in the Shen family, how could I possibly get angry at my elders?”
“Sister! You…”
“Enough!” Grandpa shouted, “Little Mu! Who did you have breakfast with? Which man?”
“It was me.”
A man’s cold and magnetic voice came, and Shen Mu’s body trembled as she turned to see a man in a black suit walking into the living room, followed by a serious-looking Hancheng.
“Huo… President Huo?” Shen Qingxue stuttered.
Grandpa immediately had the butler help him up and asked, “Yunxiao, why are you here?”
“There’s something I need to discuss with Grandpa. I didn’t inform you in advance, I apologize for the intrusion,” Huo Yunxiao nodded slightly.
Xu Ruyun also immediately had the servants pour tea for Huo Yunxiao and warmly welcomed him, “President Huo! Please sit down and have some tea! What brings you here personally?”
Huo Yunxiao sat on the two-person sofa on the side, turned his head and glanced at Shen Mu, saying, “Come over and sit down.”
“Oh,” Shen Mu moved over to sit silently beside Huo Yunxiao.
Grandpa then remembered the topic from earlier and asked, “Yunxiao, you said… the person who had breakfast with my Little Mu this morning was…”
“It was me,” Huo Yunxiao’s hand touched the cup and he stroked it gently.
The tea was warm and he pushed the cup towards Shen Mu.
Huo Yunxiao continued, “Miss Shen felt sorry for her inadequate hospitality at last night’s banquet and came to apologize. When I heard that Miss Shen was not feeling well, I couldn’t bear it and had breakfast with her to let go of last night’s incident.”
Shen Mu almost choked on the tea she had in her mouth.
Was she feeling guilty?
Did she come here to apologize?
Which of these sentences had anything to do with her?
The old man was stunned, he turned to look at Shen Qingxue, then at Huo Yunxiao, and asked again, “Did Little Mu come to apologize? Not Qingxue?”
Huo Yunxiao crossed his legs naturally and leaned on the sofa, his powerful aura was like a god.
He glanced over the people in the living room and asked, “Who is Qingxue?”
Shen Qingxue’s face turned red instantly!
Just now, she had boasted that Huo Yunxiao had promised to attend her birthday banquet!
But now, Huo Yunxiao didn’t even know who she was?
This was even more painful than Shen Mu slapping her in the face!
