Chapter 66

Mu Yan felt that since Director Xu had quickly changed her stance when the situation turned unfavorable last time, she should be a reasonable person. He hoped she wouldn’t say anything rash.

Director Xu first heard Mu Yan say some incomprehensible words, then saw him give her a meaningful look. Even if she were a fool, she would understand that she needed to go along with what he said. So she immediately smiled and said, "Yes, that’s right. President Yu of Fenghua Group is Yu Jing, a well-known strong woman in our Donghai City!"

Upon hearing Fenghua Group, Zhou Xueru and Jiang Youlan subconsciously exchanged glances, then looked at their daughter. They saw that her face had turned pale, and she was looking at Mr. Mu with a complicated expression. They immediately knew that this so-called Mr. Mu was most likely the Mu Yan their daughter had mentioned. After all, there weren’t many people with the surname Mu, and it couldn’t be a coincidence!

To think that their first time bringing their daughter out for a blind date would end up running into someone. This was really bizarre. But now that things had turned out this way, they had no choice but to face it.

Jiang Youlan thought that Mu Yan probably felt embarrassed and wanted to avoid causing awkwardness, so he planned to deal with it later. However, she didn’t expect the little girl to be不服 (unwilling to accept it) and come over to cause trouble on her own.

Given the situation, they couldn’t let their daughter be alone with someone else in front of Mu Yan. Not only would Mu Yan not agree, but their daughter wouldn’t either. Moreover, she had already noticed that her daughter had no good feelings for the other person. It would be better to just give up.

Jiang Youlan knew her husband couldn’t refuse for the sake of his colleague’s face, so she took the initiative to say, "Director Xu, Wenwen seems a bit unwell. Why don’t we call it a day today?"

Director Xu heard Jiang Youlan’s words and thought about the strange events of the day. Her eyes swept over the few people present, and she suddenly noticed that Zhou Wenwen was looking at Mu Yan in a way that was clearly not right. Combined with what the little girl had said earlier, she had a rough idea of what was going on. It seemed that Zhou Wenwen was the woman this Mr. Mu had his eye on, and their relationship was already quite deep. Could it be that because Old Zhou knew this Mr. Mu was too fickle, he deliberately arranged a blind date to marry his daughter off, to prevent her from becoming a mistress? If that was the case, wasn’t he just harming others?

Director Xu had just heard from her father that this Mr. Mu had caused a big commotion at Qian Xingye’s gathering over a girl, leading to the future son-in-law being kicked out. Now, he was planning to send his daughter abroad. If her cousin tried to compete for the girl, wouldn’t he be courting death?

Thinking about this, Director Xu immediately said, "No problem, we actually have some things to do tonight too!"

"Uncle Zhou, if Miss Zhou is unwell, I have a few doctor friends. Just a call, and they can come over immediately..."

"Enough, forget about your barefoot doctor friends. Let’s go!" Director Xu didn’t wait for her cousin to finish and directly interrupted him, pulling him out.

Seeing this, Zhou Xueru and Jiang Youlan thought that Director Xu had noticed the relationship between Mu Yan and their daughter and was angry. They didn’t realize that Director Xu was actually complaining in her heart.

Her cousin was usually quite clever, but why did he become so dull when he saw a pretty girl? He even said he had a few doctor friends, almost getting them into trouble.

After dragging them out of the restaurant, Director Xu finally let go of her cousin. As soon as she let go, her cousin stretched his neck to look inside and complained, "Sis, what’s wrong with you? Zhou Wenwen seemed fine to me. Why did you pull me out?"

"I also thought she was fine, but she already has someone. Don’t even think about it. Didn’t you see that just now?" Director Xu said, frustrated.

"Sis, how could I not see it? That Mr. Mu who shook hands with you seemed to have some connection with Wenwen. But I’m not afraid of fair competition. As long as you and Uncle support me, I have confidence!"

Seeing her cousin still saying such things, Director Xu gave him a tap on the forehead and said, "You fool, didn’t you see that I had to be careful with him? How dare you compete with him? Do you want to get us all killed?"

"Ah! What’s his background?" Hearing this, her cousin was also intimidated.

"Let me tell you, so you can give up. Just yesterday, a well-known playboy in Beijing took a fancy to a girl. When he saw the main person inside, he found out that the girl was that person’s woman. Not only did he not continue to challenge, but he publicly apologized and slapped himself. Can you imagine how powerful that person is?" Director Xu said earnestly.

Hearing this, her cousin not only gave up but was also a bit scared. He thought about it and realized that he hadn’t done anything out of line in front of the person, so he felt a bit more at ease.

"You must be Mu Yan, Wenwen mentioned you!" After Director Xu and her cousin left, Jiang Youlan sized up Mu Yan and then spoke directly.

To be honest, Mu Yan gave her a good first impression. He was mature and steady, not as impulsive as she had imagined, and he looked good—tall and handsome. If it weren’t for the previous stain, he would indeed be a good son-in-law. No wonder her daughter had fallen for him.

Thinking about this, Mu Yan couldn’t help but look at Zhou Wenwen with a somewhat puzzled expression.

Seeing Mu Yan’s suspicious gaze, Zhou Wenwen felt she had done something very wrong to Mu Yan. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and kept fidgeting with the belt of her white dress, like a little girl who had done something wrong.

"I just found out myself. I didn’t want to meet you so soon, but I didn’t expect to run into you here. Since we’ve met, I think it’s best if we sit down and talk things through clearly, don’t you agree?" Jiang Youlan asked.

"Agreed, but this isn’t a good place to talk. There’s a coffee shop upstairs. The environment is more suitable," Mu Yan suggested.

"Alright!" Jiang Youlan agreed and then pulled her husband and daughter upstairs.

"Qingqing, you go back first!" Mu Yan also dismissed Chu Qingqing.

"Why? I’m helping you. Let me listen to what you’re saying. I promise I won’t speak or tell anyone, okay!" Hearing that she was being dismissed, Chu Qingqing immediately became unhappy and started to pout, pulling on Mu Yan’s hand.

Seeing Mu Yan being so intimate with a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl, Zhou Xueru couldn’t help but snort.

Chu Qingqing heard this and pouted, "What’s wrong with me being affectionate with my brother?"

"Mu Yan, is this your sister?" Zhou Xueru, who was already quite repulsed by Mu Yan, became even more so when he heard the girl talk back to him.
