Since the last time she suffered a loss in a fight with Qin Shuishan in Mu Tingxiao's villa, Mu Enya also made a mark on Mu Nuannuan and hated Mu Nuannuan even more.
When she saw Mu Nuannuan, she didn't have a good look on her face. She glanced at him and looked away with disdain.
The conflict between Si Chengyu and Mu Tingxiao also escalated recently due to the termination of their contract.
None of the four people took the initiative to talk to anyone.
The atmosphere in the hall became tense and annoying.
Mu Nuannuan felt uncomfortable all over. Looking at Mu Tingxiao, there was nothing unusual on his face. He even reached out to pick out a few large macadamia nuts from the fruit plate on the coffee table, peeled them open and handed them to Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan admired how calm he could be at such a time.
Now that he acted like nothing was wrong, Mu Nuannuan's heart calmed down.
Anyway, it’s just acting. The more you act like one, the more likely you are to win.
"It's quite crispy. You should eat one too." Mu Nuannuan said, then stuffed a macadamia nut into Mu Tingxiao's mouth.
Macadamia nuts are creamy and crispy, which girls like.
Mu Tingxiao didn't like the taste, but he still frowned and chewed it.
"Mom." Si Chengyu sat down next to Mu Lian and said with concern: "Why didn't you call me in advance so that I could pick you up?"
Mu Enya also sat down next to Si Chengyu and echoed: "Yes, aunt, you finally come back. My eldest brother happens to be in China, so I should let him pick you up."
The smile on Mu Lian's face was very light: "Chengyu is too busy. It's not like no one answered me. It's no big deal..."
The three people there looked peaceful, but Mu Nuannuan's side looked deserted.
Mu Tingxiao just peeled the macadamia nuts slowly, while Mu Qingfeng sat opposite him and didn't speak.
Finally it was time to eat.
Mu Nuannuan fully thought that she could go back after eating.
But halfway through the meal, Mu Enya pointed at her phone and said loudly: "Brother, someone is hacking you online."
Mu Nuannuan's heart tightened, not because she was worried about how others would blackmail Si Chengyu, but because she was worried that Mu Tingxiao would be involved again.
Mu Tingxiao is the founder of Shengding Media, and the Mu family should know it, but Si Chengyu did not intervene in the termination of the contract this time.
Maybe the elders of the Mu family are too lazy to take care of this matter, but now the parties involved on both sides are here...
Si Chengyu acted very calmly: "Don't worry about it, let's talk about it after dinner. Some people on the Internet like to talk nonsense now."
"No, you are on the trending search again, and you are getting a lot of attention. It is said that you tortured a puppy to death on the set before? The person who broke the news is said to have worked on the same set as you..."
Mu Enya also works in a television station, and since she is involved in the entertainment industry, she will naturally pay attention to entertainment news.
"It's all a joke. How could such a thing happen? You're such a nice person..." Mu Enya deliberately pretended to have a natural tone, but she couldn't hide the deliberate flattery in her tone.
Mu Nuannuan glanced at her.
Did Mu Enya find that it was too difficult to hug Mu Tingxiao's thighs, so she settled for hugging Si Chengyu's thighs
Mu Nuannuan stretched out a finger and poked Mu Tingxiao's waist under the table. She just wanted to ask him if it was him who did this to Si Chengyu.
She intuitively felt that Mu Tingxiao had to do more than just terminate the contract with Si Chengyu.
He was very vengeful and would definitely get something back from Si Chengyu.
She only poked once, and her entire palm was grabbed by Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Nuannuan raised her head, and Mu Tingxiao turned around and served her some food as if nothing had happened: "Eat more, and go back when you're full."
Mu Nuannuan tilted her head and blinked to express her doubts.
Mu Tingxiao shook his head imperceptibly and answered her question.
Immediately, he looked up at Si Chengyu.
The eyes of the two people met in the air, and neither one took the initiative to say a word or showed any unnecessary expressions.
But everyone else felt the weird atmosphere.
Si Chengyu was the first to look away and smiled nonchalantly: "Of course there won't be such a thing. It's just boring things said by boring people. Enya doesn't need to look anymore. Let's eat."
When he said this, Mu Enya quickly agreed and said, "Yes."
Mu Enya put down her phone and kept her mouth shut. She asked curiously: "Brother, why do you want to terminate your contract with Shengding Media? I feel that Shengding Media treats you quite well."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table fell into a strange stalemate.
Mu Nuannuan was a little surprised. Mu Enya didn't know that Mu Tingxiao was the boss behind Shengding Media
After thinking about it again, Mu Nuannuan felt that it was understandable.
Mu Tingxiao is a cold-tempered person. He doesn't like people from the Mu family and has no relationship with Mu Enya. It's normal for Mu Enya not to know that he is the boss behind Shengding Media.
Si Chengyu stopped smiling this time and glanced at Mu Enya with a bad expression.
Mu Enya looked confused, not knowing what she said wrong.
Mu Lian, who had been silent all this time, put vegetables into Enya's bowl and said softly: "Enya, try this."
"Thank you, aunt." Mu Enya glanced at Si Chengyu carefully, stopped talking, and buried her head in eating.
…
After finally finishing the meal, Mu Nuannuan thought she could finally go back.
"Tingxiao, come to my study. I have something to tell you."
As soon as Mu Qingfeng said these words, Mu Nuannuan knew that she wouldn't be able to leave for a while.
Mu Nuannuan sighed and pushed Mu Tingxiao: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Without saying a word, Mu Tingxiao led her directly towards Mu Qingfeng's study.
"Your dad said he has something to tell you. Why are you taking me there?" Mu Nuannuan struggled to shake off his hand.
Mu Tingxiao's tone was extremely serious: "I just finished eating. I'll take you two more steps to eat."
Mu Nuannuan murmured softly: "... Can the excuse be any lower?"
"Say it again." Mu Tingxiao looked back at her.
Mu Nuannuan shrank her neck and shook her head to pretend to be mute.
Arriving at the door of Mu Qingfeng's study, Mu Tingxiao opened the door and brought Mu Nuannuan in.
Mu Qingfeng frowned slightly when he saw Mu Nuannuan following behind him: "Won't Nuannuan chat with Enya and the others?"
The subtext of the conversation was probably: I am talking to my son, what are you doing with me
"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Mu Tingxiao took Mu Nuannuan and sat down on the sofa before looking up at Mu Qingfeng.
Mu Qingfeng tensed his jaw, obviously angry at Mu Tingxiao's attitude.
Mu Nuannuan glanced at Mu Qingfeng and then at Mu Tingxiao, and found that the two father and son looked quite similar when they were angry.
"I thought you were willing to take over the Mu family because you had already figured it out." Mu Qingfeng had a cold face and did not get angry or assertive when he spoke.
Mu Nuannuan couldn't help but sit up straight.
Mu Tingxiao curled his lips and smiled: "It seems that I need to correct you. It is because of grandpa that I went back to take over this mess of the Mu family."
