Mu Ziqing and Mu Lianheng returned together, but Mu Ziqing said nothing.
Mu Lianheng followed Mu Ziqing and wanted to ask questions several times, but Mu Ziqing kept walking forward, causing Mu Lianheng to swallow back the words that came to his mouth. He was speechless all the way. After returning to Mu Mansion The two of them left aside the accompanying attendants and headed directly towards the hall. Although Mu Zhongyuan was a big businessman and a wealthy man, his mansion was simple and simple, exuding an atmosphere.
In the hall, there was a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old.
This middle-aged man has a lean build, a white face and a short beard. He is dressed simply and only wears a pair of old cloth shoes on his feet. He looks like an ordinary old farmer in the fields. He has a kind smile on his face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. , However, when the middle-aged man opened his eyes, the shrewd look that flashed in his eyes showed that this person was extraordinary.
This middle-aged man, you are Mu Zhongyuan, the head of the Mu family.
He was sitting casually with his back on the chair, holding the chair with his left hand, and holding a small teapot in his right hand. The spout of the teapot was extended to his mouth. After taking a sip of tea, he squinted his eyes, shook his head, and slowly tasted it.
"Old man, I'm back."
Outside the hall, a clear and sweet voice suddenly came.
"puff,."
Mu Zhongyuan was startled, the tea in his mouth choked on his throat, he opened his mouth and spit it out.
"Ding, ding,."
The high heels clicked on the ground, making a dinging sound. Mu Ziqing and Mu Lianheng walked into the hall together. Mu Zhongyuan stood up with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Good girl, come back next time, Can you please come in first and then say hello? Your father and I can't stand it when you are so mysterious and yelling."
While talking, Mu Zhongyuan saw Mu Ziqing still wearing high heels, and immediately said with a straight face: "Good girl, daddy told you to wear ordinary embroidered shoes, why are you wearing foreign shoes again?"
"Old man, do you have any objections?"
Mu Ziqing stared at Mu Zhongyuan, her big eyes unblinking.
When Mu Zhongyuan saw this, he immediately deflated like a balloon that had been popped. He returned to his seat dejectedly and murmured in a low voice: "How dare you, old man, have any objections? Otherwise, if you go to your mother and complain, I will have to sleep again." It’s the study room.”
Mu Ziqing chuckled, walked to Mu Zhongyuan, and while patting Mu Zhongyuan's back, she said with a smile: "Daddy is the best."
Mu Zhongyuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's so comfortable."
The two of them talked, completely leaving aside Mu Lianheng who came in together.
Mu Lianheng knew that Mu Ziqing had just returned to China and had not spent much time with his father, so he was not in a hurry to interrupt and sat quietly aside. After a while, Mu Zhongyuan said: "Lian Heng, your sister is with you. Go meet your friends, how is the situation? Alas, your sister is already 18 years old and she came back from England. It is a bit difficult to choose a good husband. I think back then, when your mother was 16 years old, It’s all already there…”
"Ouch, ouch..."
Mu Zhongyuan didn't say anything. He felt a pain in his back and screamed repeatedly. He turned around and looked at Mu Ziqing fiercely, almost roaring: "Girl, are you going to murder your biological father? You will be struck by lightning."
Mu Ziqing pouted and said, "Old man, can you not mention the marriage?"
Mu Lianheng snorted and interjected: "Little sister, father is really concerned about you. Look at you..."
"Stop, stop."
Mu Ziqing strode up to Mu Liangheng and said loudly: "Brother, can you just ignore my affairs? Huh, I am now the sister of Admiral Li of Guangzhou. My status is different. She is a person with status. , remember, don’t interfere in my marriage." As he spoke, Mu Ziqing looked at Mu Zhongyuan again and said, "Old man, your daughter has become Admiral Li's sister, that's awesome."
Mu Lianheng rolled his eyes, wondering how this sister got involved with Li Zhen.
Mu Zhongyuan snorted, put the small teapot on the desk with a bang, and said angrily: "You are awesome, very awesome, but no matter how awesome you are, it was the old man who laid the eggs for me."
“So vulgar.”
Mu Ziqing said something, and then said: "Dad, you and eldest brother should not interfere with my marriage. When my daughter was studying in the UK, girls there were still pursuing their dreams and freedom at the age of eighteen. My daughter doesn't want to do it so early.
Marry, besides, the person you and your eldest brother introduced either looks like Zhang Fei or has three wives and four concubines. At least you should think about your daughter. Even if your daughter is eighteen years old, she is still a flower.
It’s not that you can’t get married, you let your daughter choose, and you can be sure to choose a good husband who will be devoted to your daughter.”
"Okay, okay, daddy promises you."
Mu Zhongyuan rolled his eyes and asked, "My dear daughter, why did you get involved with Li Zhen?"
"He."
Mu Ziqing smiled and said: "I won't tell you, but he recognizes me as his sister anyway. If anyone bullies me, I will go to the Admiral's Mansion to file a complaint."
While speaking, Mu Ziqing looked specifically at Mu Lianheng and snorted softly.
Mu Lianheng said in a deep voice: "Little sister, you have just returned to Guangzhou and you haven't met Li Zhen yet. Today, when we met for the first time, he recognized you as his sister. He obviously has an agenda. It is possible that he wants to get along with his father."
On the relationship.”
Mu Ziqing said: "That's all your men's business. I don't care. Anyway, he just helps me."
When Mu Zhongyuan heard this, the casual expression on his face disappeared and became serious.
In an instant, his whole temperament changed drastically, and his eyes shone with light. When Mu Ziqing saw this expression, he became serious.
Mu Zhongyuan tapped the table with his fingers and said in a deep voice: "Mu'er, dad doesn't object to you and Li Zhenjie, but you can't get too close to each other. They say that we business people are shameless. In fact, officials are even more so.
He has a thick face and a dark heart, Li Zhen is also an official, he is already an admiral at a young age, he is not a simple person."
After a pause, Mu Zhongyuan added: "You have just returned to China, and your mind is too simple. Don't have too much contact with people like Li Zhen. If you want to do something you like, dad will support you. If you want to find someone you like, dad will support you."
I also support it. My Mu family has a huge fortune. Are you afraid that I won’t be able to find the husband you want? Dad has a condition. If you have something to ask for help, don’t go to Li Zhen. The more favors you owe, the more likely you will be in the future.
The harder it is to repay it.”
"Yes, my daughter understands."
Mu Ziqing is simple, but not stupid, and understands what Mu Zhongyuan said.
Mu Zhongyuan waved his hand and said: "Go to the backyard to accompany your mother. She misses you very much if she can't see you for a day."
"Um."
Mu Ziqing nodded and went back to the backyard.
After Mu Ziqing left, Mu Lianheng said: "Dad, Li Zhen suddenly recognized my younger sister as his adopted sister. I'm afraid it's because of you. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Mu Zhongyuan said: "My son, you are talented in business, but not visionary enough. Qi Ling is the governor of Guangdong, and Li Zhen is the admiral of Guangdong. On the surface, they are in harmony and making money in Guangzhou, but secretly they are fighting each other. Qi Ling recruits Guangzhou
As a businessman, Li Zhen has also begun to take action. Recognizing Mu'er as his adopted sister is just a signal. Next, Li Zhen will definitely make large-scale actions."
Mu Lianheng rolled his eyes and said: "Two tigers are fighting, shall we remain neutral?"
Mu Zhongyuan snorted and said in a deep voice: "Businessmen are very particular about waiting for the price to sell, but it depends on the situation. Between Qi Ling and Li Zhen, we don't have the capital to wait for the price, because we are not fishermen, Lian Heng, yes For us businessmen, choosing neutrality means choosing to be a loser. We cannot please both sides, so we must learn to bet."
Mu Lianheng asked: "What is daddy's plan?"
Mu Zhongyuan said with a smile: "You put your energy into doing business, I have my own plan for this matter."
