A light voice brushed against his ears, and when Mu Yuchen turned his head to look at her, she was holding on to her chopsticks, raising her eyebrows and looking at him with interest.
"Did it make you feel a sense of crisis, madam?"
His flat voice came low, accompanied by sensual depth.
Miss Xia Ye gave him a sideways glance, with a trace of disdain on her bland expression, and then lowered her head to continue eating her meal, while Shen Yue on the opposite side had already continued to invite Mu Yuchen to drink.
After dinner, Xi Xiaye cleaned up and went to Shen Wenna's study, while Mu Yuchen played chess with Shen Yue.
'Boom! '
There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and soon Shen Wenna's light voice came from the study, "Come in!"
Xi Xiaye stretched out her hand to open the door, walked in, looked up, and saw Shen Wenna sitting in front of a large and tidy desk. She was writing with her head down, as if she was grading homework...
"Mother… "
Xi Xiaye stood at the door and called out in a low voice.
Shen Wenna Xu Ran raised her head and looked at Xi Xiaye who was standing at the door. After a while, she put down the pen in her hand, nodded, and motioned for her to come over. Turning around, she took out a file bag from the bookshelf behind her, opened the bag, Take out the files inside.
Xi Xiaye walked over, stopped beside Shen Wenna, and followed Shen Wenna's gaze to look at the document in her hand—yes, it was the document that Xi Mushan gave to Shen Wenna...
"If you don't mention it, I will forget it."
Shen Wenna casually flipped through the documents in her hand, raised her head to look at Xi Xiaye, her eyes were very calm, "Actually, this should belong to you, I'm not good at these business things, and my mother doesn't want to You are at a disadvantage."
As she said that, she picked up a pen and quickly signed her name on the signature place, then put it away and handed it to Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye took it slowly, looked at her silently, didn't know how to answer her words, thought for a long time, and finally found a topic, "Is the school going to be on holiday?"
"Well, there aren't many classes recently. I only lead two classes. It's much easier than the previous year or two. Sit down and have a cup of tea." Go, then got up and walked to the sofa.
Xi Xiaye was silent for a while, and then followed. Shen Wenna had already brewed tea neatly. She picked up the tea and took a sip carefully, "Raw Pu'er?"
"Well, you can take it back later, I don't like tea."
Shen Wenna responded calmly, looked at her after thinking for a while, and continued, "Have you always planned to stay in the prosperous age? Your grandfather has not been as energetic as before in recent years. He mentioned to me a few months ago that he planned to stay in the prosperous world." You should know what it means to let you go abroad for further study."
Xia Ye paused, looked down at the slightly undulating tea in his hand, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Because of my relationship with your father, you had a gloomy childhood, and I have given you too little care these years. Xia Ye, do you think that my mother makes you feel very strange?"
Shen Wenna's eyes suddenly dimmed, she quietly clenched the teacup in her hands, and looked up at Xi Xiaye.
Xi Xiaye was in a daze for a moment, then shook her head lightly, "No..."
In my impression, her mother, Shen Wenna, is actually a very cold person who always maintains a noble and indifferent appearance. Even if her father betrayed her so cruelly, she was just dejected and decadent for a while. The next day, she regained her strength. Xia Ye wanted to say that, in fact, her mother had always set her a good example.
Hearing Xi Xiaye's words, Shen Wenna suddenly smiled elegantly, a rare warm smile appeared on her charming face, "When I see you, I can always think of myself when I was young... I will grow old in a blink of an eye, and then I will be old again." Beautiful memories, after all, are not worth the fleeting years in Fusheng, everything becomes pure in an instant."
"Mother… "
Faintly feeling the desolation between the lines in Shen Wenna's words, Xi Xiaye called her in a low voice.
However, Shen Wenna took a breath calmly, raised her hand and rubbed her tired brows, and said in a waned mood, "Okay, it's getting late, I'm worried that you are not used to it, so go back earlier, isn't Dust going to work tomorrow? ?"
Shen Wenna has always been very worried, and she doesn't want to mention it to anyone, even her daughter Xi Xiaye, she never complains in front of her.
Seeing that she seemed to be in a low mood, Xi Xiaye said a few words of comfort, but seeing that she remained silent, she had no choice but to leave.
On the way back to Fengju, the driver was Xi Xiaye, and Mu Yuchen drank a lot of wine with Shen Yue, and when he got in the car, he just leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
The interior of the car was very quiet, and one could vaguely feel a depressing silence that was different from usual.
After calming down for a while, Mu Yuchen opened his eyes and looked at the little woman driving beside him. Seeing that her expression was calm and her eyes were focused on the front, there was a chill all over her body. After thinking for a moment, she said in a low voice, " What's the matter? Wasn't it fine just now? Did your mother criticize you?"
Xi Xiaye who was driving was awakened by the sudden voice, she turned her gaze and glanced at him, then shook her head, and replied calmly, "No, I just don't know whether it's right or wrong, she didn't even ask me What exactly do you want to do, I thought she wouldn't give it to me... "
Hearing her words, Mu Yuchen's deep eyes were slightly puzzled.
Xi Xiaye had no choice but to sigh to himself, and while firmly controlling the steering wheel with one hand, he took the two file bags from his side with the other hand, and handed them to Mu Yuchen, "You can see for yourself."
Mu Yuchen took it and opened the first file, which was the document signed by Shen Wenna, while the second file was a copy of the document Xi Xiaye had signed in Xiyuan. There's a check for five million...
A cold light suddenly appeared in his deep eyes, his eyes were a little unpredictable, but his expression was still very calm, holding the check between his slender fingertips, he turned his head to look at Xi Xiaye firmly, and asked in a deep voice ,"What does it mean?"
"They gave me the so-called compensation. Xi Xinyi called me to make an appointment this afternoon."
She responded lightly.
"So you went?"
Mu Yuchen frowned slightly, and subconsciously scanned her around, but found nothing wrong, and then said, "You still dare to go there knowing that they sent you off like this, Xi Xiaye, do I want to praise you?" Your courage?"
"Why don't I have the courage to go there? I'm not the one who is at fault, do they think I'm a mother? I'll take as much compensation as I have! If you don't take it, you're a fool!"
