Mu Nuannuan bit her lip and continued: "I even think that the fact that they switched bags and stole Mu Mu has something to do with what they want to hide!"
This time, she received a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Mu Nuannuan didn't hear Mu Tingxiao's voice for a while and said, "Mu Tingxiao, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Tingxiao's tone was very strong: "I understand, remember what I said last night, don't worry about this anymore."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Mu Nuannuan looked at the phone screen, which had returned to the contact directory interface, and was a little lost.
Why did Mu Tingxiao hang up the phone like this
In the past, he always asked her to hang up first.
…
Mu Tingxiao hung up Mu Nuannuan's phone and held the phone hard in his hand, the knuckles of his fingers turning white.
Shi Ye came in with a stack of documents and saw Mu Tingxiao standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a solemn look on his face.
He put the document on Mu Tingxiao's desk and called him: "Master."
"Is there any cigarette?"
Mu Tingxiao did not look back, but his words were asking Shi Ye. After all, he and Shi Ye were the only two people in the office.
Tokoyami doesn't smoke much himself, but he always carries a cigarette with him.
He took out his cigarette case, took out one and handed it to Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao did not take the cigarette he handed over, but took the entire cigarette case and the lighter he held in his other hand.
Mu Tingxiao lowered his eyes, took out a cigarette and put it between his lips, saying in an indifferent tone: "Get out."
Shiye hesitated for a moment, then reminded Mu Tingxiao: "There will be a meeting in ten minutes..."
Mu Tingxiao didn't say anything, but Shi Ye knew that he had heard it.
His duty is to do his job well, and he can't control anything else.
After Shi Ye went out, Mu Tingxiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking one cigarette after another.
Ten minutes later, Shiye came again to remind Mu Tingxiao that the meeting was about to begin.
As soon as he entered the door, he was smelled by the smell of smoke in the whole room and coughed repeatedly.
Mu Tingxiao was still standing in front of the window, Shiye walked over and said respectfully: "Master, the meeting is about to begin."
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the cigarette butts lying on the ground in front of Mu Tingxiao, and the empty cigarette case was also on the ground.
Mu Tingxiao didn't have much of a craving for cigarettes, so why did he smoke so hard all of a sudden
Did he quarrel with the young lady again
This time there had to be a lot of noise to smoke so much.
While Shi Ye was thinking about something, Mu Tingxiao had already turned around and strode out.
Shi Ye quickly brought the materials needed for the meeting and followed Mu Tingxiao to the conference room.
All top management has arrived.
"President, this is our latest revised planning plan. Take a look..."
Mu Tingxiao reached out and took it, glanced at it twice and leaned back without saying a word. His dark eyes were so deep that it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
The senior executive who handed over the planning plan thought that Mu Tingxiao was dissatisfied, and his face suddenly turned pale. The others also looked at each other and did not dare to say a word.
Shi Ye glanced sideways at Mu Tingxiao, and he knew that Mu Tingxiao was not actually angry because he was dissatisfied with the new plan, but was thinking about something.
The conference room was quiet, no one dared to speak.
After a while, Mu Tingxiao raised his eyelids: "You don't have anything to say? Let's break up the meeting."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the conference room.
As soon as Mu Tingxiao left, other people in the conference room began to discuss quietly.
Just as Shi Ye was about to follow, he was stopped by a senior executive: "Assistant Shi Te, is the CEO satisfied with this new plan or dissatisfied with his attitude?"
Shiye twitched the corners of his lips, how could he know.
Shiye has long been able to handle these matters with ease. He suggested: "I'm not very clear either. How about I take it over for you and let the president take a look at it again?"
The senior executive quickly showed a smile and said, "Then it will be troublesome for Special Assistant Shi."
"This is my duty." Tokoye took the documents and went out.
When he arrived at the office, he saw Mu Tingxiao sitting at the back of the office, holding his cell phone with a serious expression and not knowing what he was doing.
Shiye guessed that Mu Tingxiao had something on his mind, so he put the documents there and went out.
When he went out, Shiye was still muttering in his mind. It seemed that the quarrel between the young master and the young lady was quite serious this time.
Mu Tingxiao looked at the screen of his mobile phone. He actually didn't do anything, but felt a little uneasy.
I don't know how long it took, but Mu Tingxiao stood up, picked up his coat and walked out.
Shi Ye happened to make a cup of coffee and was about to take it to the president's office when he saw Mu Tingxiao walking out and said quickly: "Master, where are you going?"
"No need to follow me." Mu Tingxiao said without looking back.
…
Mu Tingxiao drove directly back to his old house.
There is no one at home on a weekday morning.
"The young master is back."
"Hello, Master."
Servants greeted him along the way.
He walked directly towards Mu Lian's room. When he reached the door, he reached out and pushed the door open.
When Mu Lian heard the sound, he turned to look at Mu Tingxiao, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Tingxiao, why are you here?"
"I have something to do with you." Mu Tingxiao stood at the door without going in, with a sinister look on his face.
Mu Lian seemed a little afraid of him, and the expression on his face became a little stiff: "If you have anything to do, come in and talk."
Mu Tingxiao did not go in. He stood at the door with a terrifyingly cold expression: "Who is Si Chengyu's biological mother?"
Mu Lian's expression did not change much. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"You really don't know?" Mu Tingxiao walked inside, his eyes fixed on her, making Mu Lian feel an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Mu Lian subconsciously took two steps back and said in a calm voice, "I really don't know."
Mu Tingxiao stared at her for a few seconds, curled his lips, reached out to hold Mu Lian's shoulders, and his tone became gentle: "Why is aunt so afraid of me? I'm just curious to ask about this matter. After all, I and I Si Chengyu has been a cousin for almost thirty years..."
Mu Lian seemed to be shocked by the speed of Mu Tingxiao's change of expression. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "I know, neither you nor Chengyu should accept this easily..."
"So what if you don't accept it? After all, we are a family." Mu Tingxiao retracted his hand and put it into the pocket of his suit pants. His tone returned to his usual indifference: "Auntie, you can go to Mu's when you have time. There are many I haven’t been there in years.”
There was a hint of surprise in Mu Lian's eyes: "Okay."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Mu Tingxiao said, turned around and walked out.
Mu Lian said warmly: "I'll give it to you."
Mu Lian sent him out of the old house and returned to the car. Mu Tingxiao spread his hand and found a woman's long hair inside.
That was a hair he took from Mu Lian's clothes when he was holding her shoulder.
