Shu Xin didn't notice Mu Jingjing's strangeness, and took the lead to greet her, "Mayor, I'm very happy that you can show your favor." After saying that, he looked at Yu Anna beside the man. He felt that this woman looked familiar, but couldn't remember it for a moment. who is it? He smiled and asked, "I wonder who this is?"
Mu Yiqing's stunned eyes were withdrawn from Mu Jingjing's face. After all, he was a person who had been in official circles for a long time. Even if his heart was full of turmoil, his face could be calm and indifferent.
Mu Yiqing turned to look at Yu Anna and introduced to Shu Xin, "This is my daughter." Then he introduced to Yu Anna, "Anna, this is Mrs. Huo."
Yu Anna smiled and said hello to Shu Xin, and then her eyes fell on the face of Mu Jingping, whose face turned pale. "Hello, my name is Yu Anna. It's nice to see you again."
again
Shu Xin turned to look at Mu Jingping, "Ning Ning, do you know Miss Yu?"
Mu Jingping was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
However, Anna Yu answered very frankly, "I met Miss Mu in Tingxi, and Mrs. Huo actually had a relationship with us."
Shu Xin's heart skipped a beat, Shen Tingxi? Did the mayor's daughter also have an affair with Shen Tingxi? He was confused in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Take a seat first, and let's talk slowly."
Several people took their seats.
Naturally, Shu Xin would not ask when she had met Yu Anna. She would know later by asking Mu Jingjing.
A few people exchanged polite greetings before Shu Xin got down to business, "Is the mayor unwilling to cooperate with our company because he is dissatisfied with the price?"
Mu Yiqing pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. Naturally, he couldn't say that he changed his words because Yu Anna couldn't help it. His eyes glanced at Mu Jingping, who had been sitting quietly with his head down. A strange color flashed in his eyes, so fast that he didn't change his words. A hint of, "We'll talk about this later, let's eat first."
The tone was calm, with a hint of alienation.
Shu Xin smiled and nodded, but in his heart he scolded the mayor as a cunning old man. However, he did not refuse, which meant that there was still room for maneuver, which was good news.
Yu Anna glanced at Mu Jingjing with a smile on her lips. Mu Yiqing had already promised her. She only revealed one piece of news during this meal, that is, the project could not be signed easily and had to be reconsidered.
She wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Mu Jingran and make Mu Jingran come to beg her, and then she used this project to make Mu Jingran leave Shen Tingxi.
Shu Xin was pregnant and toasted Mu Yiqing with a drink instead of wine. Mu Jingping also stood up and toasted, "Mayor, I toast you."
Mu Yiqing's eyes fell on the two shallow whirlpools on Mu Jingping's face, and he seemed to ask casually, "I wonder where Miss Mu is from?"
Mu Jingping actually didn't like people asking her where she was from. Before her mother married Lu Zhiwen, she and her mother had always been the object of ridicule in her hometown. But when people asked, she had no choice but to answer, "Lucheng."
Mu Yiqing's eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help but ask again: "What's your father's name?"
Mu Jingping's face turned completely white, as if someone had opened a scar, and there was a bloody sting. She didn't even know who her father was, so how could she know his name
Yu Anna was so happy on the side, she felt like she was gloating about her misfortune. Mu Jingping was an illegitimate daughter, and her father actually asked such a question. It was so awesome! He is indeed her biological father.
Shu Xin didn't expect that Mu Yiqing would ask this question. This might be a very common question to others, but to Mu Jingping, it was a sore point for her. Shu Xin smiled and teased, "I didn't expect the mayor to ask me this question." Are your subordinates so interested?"
It has a somewhat frivolous tone. This kind of joke is common at the dinner table, so no one will take it seriously.
Mu Yiqing noticed that he had lost his composure, stood up, and clinked glasses with Mu Jingjing. His tone was much gentler than before when he walked in, and a thin smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "My hometown is also from Hucheng, and I thought I might know your father. So I asked more, and I hope Miss Mu doesn’t mind.”
Mu Jingping shook his head and drank the wine in the cup. The spiciness of the wine seemed to alleviate the pain in his heart.
"It turns out that the mayor and Ning Ning are fellow villagers, so you should help her more in the future." Shu Xin saw that he was climbing up the ladder, so he didn't directly talk about the project, and just kept this relationship together first.
Mu Yiqing nodded, "Definitely."
Because of this episode, the atmosphere during the meal became much better, especially the mayor's attitude. He was indifferent and serious when he first entered, but later he became friendly and seemed to be a different person.
After eating, when they walked to the door and were about to leave, Mu Yiqing suddenly turned around and looked at Shu Xin, "Mrs. Huo, I want to talk to Miss Mu alone. Is it convenient?"
Shu Xin is naturally willing. If Mu Jingran becomes familiar with this fellow villager, it will definitely be much easier for her to win projects in the city in the future. But she is not the kind of person who ignores other people's feelings for the sake of business, especially Mu Jingran. When dealing with interpersonal relationships, she is not the kind of person. Relationships are different from others.
Shu Xin turned around and asked Mu Jingjing with her eyes: Is it okay
Mu Jingping nodded slightly. No matter what Mu Yiqing wanted to say to her, as long as she could help Shu Xin, she would spare no effort.
Seeing that Mu Jingping was fine, Shu Xin smiled and said to Mu Yiqing, "You guys talk, the fountain in Yuhe Building is famous for its spectacular scenery. I'll go take a look."
Mu Yiqing turned to look at Yu Anna, "Nana, go take a look with Mrs. Huo."
Yu Anna didn't like Shu Xin. When Shen Tingxi was hospitalized, she went to the hospital to deliver meals to Shen Tingxi. Shu Xin had a very bad attitude towards her. At first, she regarded Shu Xin as her love rival, but later she found out that Shu Xin was helping Mu Ning Jing went over to demonstrate to her, how could she like the friend of her love rival? "Dad, I won't go. I'll just wait for you here."
"Go ahead, Miss Mu and I will chat for a few words and then go find you." Mu Yiqing said.
Yu Anna curled her lips unhappily. She really couldn't figure out what he and Mu Jingran had to talk about. Aren't they just fellow villagers? There are many fellow villagers from Hucheng in Fancheng, and Mu Jingping is among them. "I'll wait for you in the car."
After saying that, Anna Yu turned around and left the box.
Mu Yiqing looked at Shu Xin slightly embarrassed, "My daughter is used to being arrogant and makes Mrs. Huo laugh."
Shu Xin smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, you guys chat, I'll go out first."
In an instant, only Mu Jingping and Mu Yiqing were left in the box.
Mu Jingping was not good at getting along with others, especially alone with men, and this man was Yu Anna's father, so his nerves were subconsciously tense and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Yiqing, on the other hand, was very easy-going and said, "Miss Mu, please sit down."
Mu Jingping sat down two seats away from Mu Yiqing, thinking that the other party was the mayor, and now that she wanted something from him, she should take the initiative to liven up the atmosphere. While she was thinking about what to say, the other party spoke first.
"Although there are many people named Mu in Hucheng, they are not everywhere. It is a great fate that we can meet in Fancheng and have the same surname."
