Mr. Jing secretly thought that it was time to arrange a few blind dates for Jing Hao. Not to mention finding a woman with family background and ability to help him, as long as she doesn't embarrass herself in front of others.
However, this matter can be postponed for the time being. The top priority now is to apologize to Mu Mingcheng and obtain Mr. Mu's forgiveness.
Mr. Jing said a few words to make the crowd disperse. He was the oldest and most senior person among everyone present. As soon as he opened his mouth, people wanted to give him some face.
Next, the jokes between the Jing family and the Mu family were not for everyone to see, so everyone left the place one after another to make friends with business colleagues or talk to people they knew well.
The banquet became more lively, but people's eyes passed over this place intentionally or unintentionally from time to time.
After everyone dispersed, Mr. Jing ordered the waiter to bring a few glasses of wine. He held up the glass with a smile and said, "Mr. Mu, my grandson is blind and cannot see Mount Tai. He has offended Mr. Mu. I hope you will drink more. Look." On the old man’s thin side, forgive him this time.”
With that said, he winked at Jing Hao and motioned for him to pick up the wine and apologize.
Mr. Jing thought to himself: Others say that Mu Mingcheng is a very elegant man. Whether he is really elegant or pretending to be so, in front of everyone, he, an old man in his seventies, has taken the lead in begging for mercy. If he wants to save face, a cup of As soon as the wine went down, the matter was over.
But after waiting for a while, Jing Hao didn't move at all. The old man turned his head and gave Jing Hao a cold look.
Jing Hao was raised by the old man since he was a child, and the two have a good tacit understanding. He naturally understood the meaning contained in the old man's eyes.
However, he has always been a proud man of heaven, and he has become even more high-spirited since taking over Jing's family. He only had people begging him to apologize to him, so how had he ever bowed his head to others
Now he was asked to apologize to a man who was about his own age and had inexplicable hostility, and he suddenly felt a sense of humiliation.
Jing Hao pursed his lips, and finally had to suppress the unwillingness in his heart under the faintly compelling look in Mr. Jing's eyes.
He picked up the wine glass from the waiter's tray and, with a slight force on his hand, walked to Mu Mingcheng. Jing Hao said solemnly, "Mr. Mu, I didn't recognize your identity just now. I'm disrespectful."
What I said sounded a bit unpleasant to my ears. Co-author, you are apologizing because of who he is.
Gu Jin looked at the veins popping up on the back of Jing Hao's hands, raised his eyebrows and sighed, power is indeed a good thing, no wonder so many people flock to it.
"I don't dare," Mu Mingcheng didn't even look at Jing Hao. His eyes fell on the wine glass handed to him, and he smiled and said in a calm tone, "If Mr. Jing wants to apologize, why not tell my girlfriend."
He turned to Gu Jin, looked at her deeply, his eyes were gentle and calm, and said, "My girlfriend is also a spoiled woman. She cannot be an old mother who serves others and follows their footsteps."
Hearing this, Gu Jin turned his head to face his serious expression, resisted the urge to touch his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and smiled at him.
Looking back, she sighed inaudibly. Since she had completely offended Jing Hao, let's let the storm come more violently.
Suddenly, Jing Hao's face turned dark. He tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand. The wine in the glass trembled slightly, as if the goblet would be cut off if he applied a little more force.
When he apologized to Mu Mingcheng, he could still barely convince himself that he was bowing down to power.
But what if he was apologizing to a woman he despised
Feeling the seemingly inquisitive gazes around him, he sneered in his heart: I believe that before tomorrow, he would become the laughing stock of the entire imperial capital circle.
It didn't move for a while.
Mr. Jing, who was waiting quietly on the side, frowned and felt that Mu Mingcheng had gone too far.
However, the hero is saddened by the beauty, and becomes a beauty in anger. Since he said that the overly beautiful woman was his girlfriend, he was acknowledging the woman's identity in disguise.
But Jing Hao actually said that Mu Mingcheng's woman should be a waiter.
Serve whom? Serve that stupid woman who cried in disgrace
Has his brain been modified with straw
For a time, Mr. Jing was disappointed with his grandson, who had always had high hopes.
"This girl," Mr. Jing called, intending to hint Gu Jin to step down. After all, if she can get a high position in the future, she will have to hang out in the wealthy circles of the imperial capital. It will not be good to leave a reputation of being petty and mean; and if she does not get a high position, it will be even worse.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted.
"Xiao Jin," Cheng Xin, with a face that was washed away by tears and made up badly, seemed to muster up great courage, walked up to Gu Jin, lowered her head and said, "Jing Hao said this to you because he was worried about me. If it's not good, it's my fault. I apologize to you on behalf of Jing Hao, I'm sorry."
After saying that, she raised her head and glanced at Mu Mingcheng quickly. Thinking of Mr. Jing Jing calling him Mr. Mu just now, she added: "I also hope that Mr. Mu will consider our sisterhood and not care about it."
She didn't dare to raise her head and let Mu Mingcheng see her miserable appearance.
But this scene happened to be seen by Jing Hao, who was deeply touched by Cheng Xin's words. For the first time, his cold face could not remain tense, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with fire.
He could almost see the green light glowing above his head.
At this moment, he really wanted to drag Cheng Xin into a small house, lock her on the bed, and use his body to ask her what the look in Mu Mingcheng's eyes meant.
Cheng Xin had no idea what her lover was thinking, so she looked at Gu Jin expectantly. As for that man, she didn't have the courage to look at him again. He didn't even look at her, as if to look at her more than once would be blasphemy to him.
"Okay," after a moment of silence, Gu Jin tilted his head, smiled, and said, "I accept it."
After saying that, Gu Jin had mixed feelings in her heart. After this incident, she and Cheng Xin finally separated completely.
Even at some cost.
Gu Jin thought that he should pack his things out of the apartment and find a place to live when he went back. Because their magazine was about to be launched during the summer vacation, she was considered to have a job.
The curtain in the corner was moved by the wind with the sigh.
Cheng Xin bit her lip, a little confused as to why she and Gu Jin had reached this point.
Several years later, Cheng Xin, who had gone through many hardships in life, asked herself, if she had not brought Shao Chong and Gu Jin together in the first place, would everything have turned out differently
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

After apologizing, the Jing family went to toast others. Mu Mingcheng didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, but he sincerely wanted to make their relationship public.
The banquet had been held for more than two hours. Gu Jin, who was not used to wearing pointy-heeled shoes, felt a little pain in her feet. She was forced to lean against Mu Mingcheng's body.
For the sake of her old face, Gu Jin pretended to hold Mu Mingcheng's arm, but in fact half of her body weight was on him.
Mu Mingcheng supported her body, which could not stand up straight, and politely declined the toast: "I'm sorry, my girlfriend doesn't like the smell of alcohol on me."
Then he looked at Gu Jin hanging on his arm and smiled apologetically at the visitor. Anyone with eyes can see how helpless and doting he is towards his girlfriend as she is clingy and domineering.
Businessman A: Is this a show of affection
Lady B: She was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food.
Gu Jin lowered his head and smiled shyly amidst the teasing laughter of people who suddenly realized that it seemed that the domineering and flirtatious woman just now was not her.
She endured the pain in her feet and moved her body outward.
However, this is just a cover-up.
In the eyes of outsiders, Mr. Mu Mingcheng, who is famous for being a womanizer, really fell into trouble this time, at the hands of an unknown woman.
Not only did he stand up for her, but he was also willing to listen to her discipline. No matter whether men are really strict about their wives or not, they always like to show off their face outside, bragging to each other that others at home don't dare to take care of them, and that they eat and drink when they should. How can any of them personally admit that they are afraid of their wives
Besides, this is not a wife, just a girlfriend who can be used as clothes at any time.

In the hospital ward, after repeatedly confirming with the doctor that Shao Chong was fine, Shao's parents finally agreed to discharge their son.
Shao Chong put on the clothes sent by his subordinates and hurried to the banquet site.
Sitting in the car, he urged the driver to drive faster while holding the small box tightly in his hands.
There is a jade bracelet inside.
The quality is rare and the best jade.
In his previous life, after Gu Jin married him, he went out to eat with Cheng Xin several times and always stared at the jade bracelet on her wrist with envy.
Shao Chong was puzzled and asked her why. Only then did she realize that she once had a jade bracelet that was exactly the same as the one Cheng Xin wore on her wrist.
That jade bracelet was of great significance to her and Cheng Xin. It was given to them as gifts by Mama Gu and Mama Cheng respectively on their twentieth birthdays.
It's just that her jade bracelet was accidentally lost during her junior year.
He was also very sorry at the time. He casually comforted her a few words and didn't take it to heart anymore.
Thinking of his wife's occasional sadness in her previous life, he arranged for someone to spend a lot of money to buy a jade bracelet with a high degree of similarity at the jade market as soon as he was reborn.
After the dinner was over and he sent her home, he gave her the jade bracelet.
Shao Chong has never felt that time has been so long.
When he arrived at the banquet venue, Shao Chong couldn't help but straighten his hair in the mirror in front of the car. After staying in the hospital for two days, his whole body seemed to be a little sick. He wanted to appear in front of Gu Jin in the most perfect state.
But Shao Chong never expected that everything he imagined would be shattered the moment he entered the door.
Shao Chong felt extremely strange when he saw Gu Jin leaning on the man's arms like a little bird, with an expression that seemed to be angry but not angry.
For a moment, he felt that this world was fake.
Shao Chong walked over with difficulty and arrived in front of Gu Jin. Facing the other person's indifferent gaze, his heart seemed to be pricked by a needle. He didn't believe that Gu Jin would betray him, so did something happen to change his trajectory before he was reborn
"Xiao Jin, who is he?" Shao Chong asked with sad eyes.
"Her boyfriend." Mu Mingcheng answered as he held Gu Jin in his arms.
"Impossible," Shao Chong then looked at the speaker and said in surprise: "Are you Mu Mingcheng?"
In his previous life, Shao Chong mentioned Mu Mingcheng's name when Cheng Xin complained to him, knowing that he was the one who saved Cheng Xin.
But why, why did he become Gu Jin's boyfriend
"Xiao Jin, you lied to me," Shao Chong said with a pale face, "We are still boyfriend and girlfriend at this time, did he force you?"
Gu Jin thought his words were a bit strange. She had clearly told him that she had broken up before.
She nodded, without hesitation, shattering his last hope, "No, you and I have broken up. We are currently in a 'peaceful' relationship with Mr. Mu. Cheng Xin also knows about this."
Cheng Xin
"How does she know?" Shao Chong asked, "Are you deliberately angry with me because of her?"
"I'm sorry that I ignored you before. But I promise that I will never associate with her in the future."
"So, please come back to me." There was an obvious plea in his tone.
Gu Jin said nothing.
"Look," when Gu Jin didn't respond, Shao Chong hurriedly took out a beautifully packaged box and held it up to Gu Jin's eyes like a treasure, "I specially found a jade bracelet for you, which is the same as the one you lost. It's very similar. If I give it to you, you'll forgive me, okay?" He asked cautiously.
Gu Jin didn't seem to hear, and lowered his head in thought.
Suddenly, someone pinched her waist, and she heard Mu Mingcheng say: "Mr. Shao, since we have broken up, it is wrong to pester your ex-girlfriend when she has a new home."
"I hope you'll take care of yourself, otherwise..." He didn't say it out loud, but the coldness on his body made everyone understand what he meant.
The banquet has come to an end, so it doesn't matter if you leave now.
When Gu Jin passed by Shao Chong, he suddenly let go of Mu Mingcheng's arm.
"Shao Chong," she paused, raised her red lips, and asked quietly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you think Cheng Xin's child is a boy or a girl?"
Shao Chong was suddenly startled, his expression changed again and again, and when he saw the graceful woman walking out of his sight, he suddenly laughed softly.
As he smiled, his nose felt inexplicably sore and his eyes became swollen and painful.
It turns out that he was not the only one who was reborn.
