Chapter One Hundred: Thoughts and Reflections, Another Encounter
Always staying in the resting room with Mu Xinhua, Su Moruo also didn't have any intention of going out. Her demeanor made Mu Xinhua, who had been observing her, nod repeatedly. At such a young age, she has such an impressive presence, which is truly astonishing. Thinking back to when she was younger, she didn't have this kind of poise either.
"Later, grandma will introduce you to a few people, just get familiar with them, not too many, I know you're afraid of trouble." Mu Xinhua smiled at Su Moruo, thinking in her heart which people she would formally introduce to Su Moruo later. After all, the Mu Group would soon be handed over to Su Moruo's hands, so it was necessary to be cautious when introducing people to her. Moreover, she also knew that Su Moruo was afraid of trouble, if too many people were introduced, this girl would get tired and wouldn't be good.
It was all Mu Xinhua considering for herself, and Su Moruo didn't decline, letting her think that as people get older, they often hope to have a younger generation by their side, someone to dote on and spoil, and now that she had accepted Mu Xinhua as her godmother, naturally, she should give her this opportunity.
At around half past eight, Wei Qin walked into the rest room and saw Su Mo Ruo and Mu Xin Hua chatting enthusiastically. To be precise, Mu Xin Hua was extremely enthusiastic, constantly pulling Su Mo Ruo to talk, feeling very happy because it's rare to see the boss so happy, standing on the side without disturbing them immediately.
Until Muxinhua stopped talking, Huiqin finally spoke up in time to remind everyone that the banquet was about to start and they could leave now.
"Push me out." Murong Hua smiled and looked at Su Mo standing beside her, reminding her.
"Alright." Su Mo Ruo didn't decline either, smiling as he pushed Mu Xin Hua out of the resting room.
Because I was pushing a wheelchair, we took the direct elevator to the first floor banquet hall.
"Today you're probably going to be tired." The elevator arrived at the first floor, and before the doors even opened, Mu Xinhua quickly gave Su Moruo such a sentence.
"Since I've already agreed with you, it means that I'm ready for anything. You don't have to worry too much."
"Hehe, it's fine this way." He reached out and patted Su Mo Ruo's hand, which was pushing the wheelchair, with a smile in his eyes.
At this moment, the banquet hall is quiet because everyone is waiting for Mu Xinhua to appear with her next successor. Tonight was originally the most anticipated moment, and now no one will let it go. The scene is silent, with all eyes fixed on the elevator entrance, holding their breath, hoping to see who Mu Xinhua has chosen as her next successor, since she has no children of her own.
When a person stretched his neck waiting for someone to come out, he almost made everyone's eyes widen in surprise.
A black evening gown that trailed to the ground, set off the girl's skin as smooth as condensed milk, shiny and white like jade, her tall and slender figure exuding an aura of noble elegance, a face so clear and refined yet coldly beautiful, a pair of large eyes shining like black pearls, as if she were the most enchanting black gem in the world.
Such a stunning beauty, and absolutely no more than twenty years old, shouldn't she be the kind of woman that men pamper and spoil at home? Could it be that such a seemingly beautiful yet fragile woman would be the one chosen by Mu Xinhua to inherit the vast Mu Corporation after her? Su Mo didn't fail to notice the skeptical expressions on everyone's faces when they looked at her, but she knew that many things weren't just about appearances. Now these people were looking down on her, but later, she would definitely make them eat their words and see the consequences of judging by appearance.
Huiqin took the microphone from beside her and walked over to Muxinhua's side.
Mu Xin Hua smiled and looked around at the crowd, gesturing to Su Mo Ruo to push her towards the stage. "I'm sure everyone is clear about why I've gathered you all here today. Tonight's banquet is also an opportunity for me to introduce my granddaughter to everyone."
Everyone applauded after hearing Mu Xinhua's words, and the expressions on their faces were filled with reverence when they looked at Mu Xinhua.
"I'm sure everyone here is wondering why I have such a young successor. After all, I don't have any children, do I?"
This remark indeed asked out of everyone's heart doubt, a pair of eyes one after another towards Su Mo Ruo swept over.
But Mu Xin Hua just smiled and didn't say a word, not mentioning Su Mo Ruo's affairs at all. He only chatted with the crowd about some family matters, and then pulled Su Mo Ruo to another side.
Muxinhua pulled Sumoro to a place where several people were sitting, the surrounding crowd was relatively far away from this side, and these few people exuded an aura of majesty that came with being in high positions for a long time. Although they didn't chat with them, you could still feel the strong pressure emanating from their bodies.
These people are at least over 70 years old, the oldest should be over 80 years old, and their age is not much different from that of Mu Xinhua.
"These, they are all grandma's friends from her young age, so many years have passed, their care for grandma is not just what everyone sees on the surface." Before introducing Su Moruo, Mu Xinhua had already given Su Moruo a hint, clearly telling him that these people were good friends, lifelong friends.
Huiqin had already gone to greet the guests who came to attend the banquet today, while the company's high-level executives were also entertaining some business partners. Only Muxinhua led Su Moruo into the crowd.
"Finally arrived, look, speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives." An old man who looked like he was over 70 years old, smiled and walked towards Mu Xinhua.
"What are you guys talking about?" Looking at the person who walked up to her, Mu Xinhua smiled and looked around at several old friends. In their circle, those who should have left had already gone, and now only a few old bones were left, with half of their bodies almost buried in the ground.
"We were all... haha, big sister, you don't know that we brothers are very curious, before we didn't see the future heir, and we were all thinking, who is the sacred one that can enter your eyes?" The man called Qin Hua smiled and replied to Mu Xinhua with a rather respectful tone.
Mu Xin Hua listened, gesturing to Su Mo Ruo to push her into the midst of the crowd. Then, looking at everyone's expectant faces, she burst out laughing and said, "Well, what do you all think of this successor now?"
"Sister, we all believe in your vision." Qinchua replied again, Mu Xinhua was the only woman among them, but also the only woman they all respected. Over the years, Mu Xinhua's own company had been thriving, and its progress had never slowed down. For many people, this was a dream that was hard to climb, but Mu Xinhua had achieved it. She had spent her whole life pushing the company to its peak. Such an outstanding woman, they believed, would not choose a successor who was inferior... although, judging from his age, he seemed a bit young.
I knew these old friends were laughing at Su Mo Ruo, but I also know that Su Mo Ruo's age is evident.
"Alright, from today onwards, my granddaughter will start to take over the Mu Corporation. You'll naturally see her abilities then." Mu Xinhua's words were decisive and without exaggeration, only letting his old friends know that starting tomorrow, they should take a good look at the abilities of this successor.
Several people were stunned, and no one had expected that Mu Xinhua would suddenly start handing over company matters to Su Moruo. Moreover, from her tone, it seemed that managing the massive Mu Group was not a problem for this little girl either.
"Alright, alright. Today is the day I introduce my granddaughter to you all. If you're not interested, leave now. There's no point in staying, is there?" Mu Xinhua glared at several old friends who were staring at her granddaughter Su Moruo with a look of astonishment, and suddenly felt displeased, giving them a stern glare and scolding.
They are all in their seventies and eighties, and they are also big shots in Hong Kong's business and political circles. Now, however, they have been trained by Miu Hin-wah to lower their heads and not dare to retort. This scene has shocked the people who were secretly watching Miu Hin-wah from a distance. Although they also know about Miu Hin-wah's status in Hong Kong and his close relationship with these people, this scene of him scolding several people is still stunning to everyone. After all, these people usually command respect wherever they go.
"Cough, cough... Ah, big sister, we're all grown up now, can't you be a bit gentler with us?..." The old man, called Qing Hua, had a slightly stiff expression on his face as he carefully looked at Mu Xin Hua, starting to chuckle.
"What's wrong, aren't you happy?" Mu Xinhua was secretly amused, but still kept a straight face.
"Oh, alright, where did you get so much nonsense from? Since Big Sister said she's going to introduce her granddaughter today, shouldn't we listen carefully?" Someone next to them started bootlicking, clearly someone who knew Mu Xinhua well.
"Haha, yes, it's been a long time since we old guys have seen each other, and we're all busy reminiscing about the past..."
Everyone you a word I a word, soon will be lively atmosphere.
Su Mo Ruo pushed Mu Xin Hua into the space made by a few people for the two of them.
"This is your grandfather Li, who is also 86 years old this year. He and I, your grandmother, were among the first to venture out together back then." Mu Xinhua pointed to an elderly man wearing a Zhongshan suit, with white hair but a ruddy complexion, introducing him in a tone that revealed her nostalgia and longing for those pioneering days.
Su Mo listened to Mu Xinhua's introduction and called out "Grandpa Li", but instead received a warm hug from the old man, who then took out an exquisite gift box from his pocket. "This is Grandpa's meeting gift, I hope Little Ruo won't mind accepting it."
Su Mo glanced at Mu Xinhua, but found the helpless smile in her eyes. She then subtly gestured to her to put it away, and only after that did she stretch out her hand to take the gift, saying "thank you".
"Open it and take a look." But instead, this old man seemed unwilling to end it here, actually letting Su Mo Ruo open the gift box and take a look at the gift.
"Open it." Mu Xinhua looked at his old friend with a hint of helplessness. After all these years, his heart had never changed, but young people have their own thoughts and feelings. Who can force anyone in matters of the heart? Thinking again, this Li family's son wasn't bad either. At 27, he was a well-known figure in the business world, a "fox" who kept himself clean and didn't indulge in the decadent lifestyle of many rich families' sons. If Yu Rou could marry him, it would be a happy union.
"It's the kids' business, we don't care about it, let them handle it themselves." After Su Mo Ruo opened the gift box and looked at what was inside, Mu Xin Hua shook her head helplessly, but still said this.
"Haha, of course, of course." He had not achieved it back then, but he hoped his grandson could fulfill this dream for him. However, this also required the two young people to have this fate, and he was not a person who would force others to do something difficult. Otherwise, how could Mu Xinhua still be alone for a lifetime?
Upon hearing these words, Mu Xinhua's eyes became slightly moist. Looking at her old friend, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. The former playboy had changed gradually because of her, and this friendship was something she could never repay in this lifetime.
"Does it look good on me?" As she stared at the exquisite necklace in the box, Su Mo Rou's eyes widened slightly before asking a question with a hint of indifference.
"... " This question, Su Mo Ruo really didn't know how to answer. This thing, one look and you can tell it has a story behind it. Just now, seeing Mu Xin Hua's interaction with this Li grandfather, the exchange of glances between people, she had already guessed some of it.
"As for what happens next, you can handle it yourself." This sentence also reassured Su Mo Ruo's heart.
She nodded slightly and then smiled faintly at Grandpa Li before putting away the gift box.
Later, Mu Xinhua introduced several other good friends to Su Moruo. When introducing Nie Qinghua, this identity made Su Moruo stunned for a moment.
It was unexpected that Nie Qin Hua's family business was not in Hong Kong, but rather in the UK after graduation. Nie Qin Hua also worked in the financial industry, with his company being one of the best in country Y. However, he remained behind the scenes and handed over all the company's businesses to his juniors, which is why Nie Qin Hua's name was not well-known in the financial world. All that was known about him was that he had a film and media company and an internationally renowned fashion brand D&Y in country Y.
"Big sister, your granddaughter is quite good, haha, I have a very excellent grandson at home, the two are about the same age, only three or four years apart. Why not introduce them to each other?" Nie Qinghua chuckled, and although he had only seen Su Mo for a moment, with his many years of intuition, this little girl was absolutely not simple. He seemed to be able to feel from her body a mysterious aura that was similar to or even stronger than his grandson's. Such a girl, if you don't snatch her up now, when will you?
Li Xiao Nian was so angry that he almost fainted. What kind of nonsense is this? His mother, didn't his friend's ears go deaf earlier, and now he dares to openly compete with him for the future daughter-in-law.
Just as a big fight was about to break out, Mu Xinhua stopped it with a single sentence: "I won't interfere in my granddaughter's affairs, and you shouldn't either. If they can be together, that's fate; if not, then let them just be friends like us. What's wrong with living life freely and at ease? Isn't that great?"
Mu Xinhua's words also brought back memories of their youth, and as they looked at Mu Xinhua, they didn't say anything else, but the gaze between them was still somewhat bloody.
Although others did not speak, Nie Qinghua and Li Xiaonian's achievements were no lower than Mu Xinhua. The two of them also had a keen eye for reading people, and in such a short time, they felt that this girl was not simple at all, so their minds became active.
Su Mo didn't say a word, but she observed the expressions of everyone present very thoroughly. Not speaking didn't mean she knew nothing, however, as for these people's thoughts, in her heart, she could only express regret towards them.
"Tonight, please come over and get to know this young lady. She's still young and there will be many places in the future where you'll need to guide her as elders." As she spoke, Mu Xinhua raised her cup, and despite being seated in a wheelchair, her radiance was undiminished. With a smile, "Come on, let's finish this cup, and also to our unchanging friendship over the years. Getting to know you all is one of the greatest fortunes of my life, Mu Xinhua."
Muxinhua's words also moved several people, who immediately raised their glasses and clinked them together, producing a crisp sound.
Due to physical reasons, Mu Xinhua did not drink wine, even champagne. Su Moye didn't give her any either, only a glass of fruit juice.
One evening, all the time, Sumo was following Mu Xinhua's side, with her several friends together, so, who came to the scene, she really didn't notice.
However, tonight's protagonist is her, so even if she hasn't come out to greet everyone and make contact, she still can't help but become the subject of discussion and attention from the crowd.
"Tabo, look at the girl next to Director Mu, why does she seem so familiar?" From the moment he entered the banquet hall and saw Director Mu and the girl pushing her out, Min Jing's gaze had never left their bodies. With the same name, surname, and appearance, and also being in Hong Kong at the same time, how could there be such a coincidence?
Ouyang Jinhua also noticed that her cousin had been staring at the location of Director Murong and others in a circle all night, and helplessly stretched out his hand to rub Meng Jing's black hair, "You silly girl, what have you been looking at all night?"
"Brother, just now I heard Chairman Mu introduce that girl's name, what was it?" Knowing that Brother should not be familiar with Su Mo Ruo, he did not overlap the girl who changed greatly tonight with Su Mo Ruo whom they met at the airport that day, and began to confirm the name of the future successor of the Mu family that everyone heard.
"Su Mo, didn't you just hear everything and repeat it many times?" Looking at her own cousin's neurotic appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless. From childhood to adulthood, this cousin seemed strong and capable, but in reality, she was a bit of an airhead, often needing others to think things through and take care of them for her.
"Sumojo... Sumojo..." She kept muttering the name to herself, and at the same time, the words Sumojo had said in her dormitory that day appeared in her mind.
I'm going home.
"I'm going to the airport too."
She kept shaking her head and nodding continuously, and the sound of "I see, I see" kept coming out of Min Jing's mouth, which really startled Ouyang Jinhua, who hurriedly covered his own cousin's excited mouth with his hand, afraid that she would do something out of line at the banquet.
"What are you doing?" Min Jing, who had her mouth covered, struggled with all her might. In the end, it was because of Ouyang Jinhua's reluctance that she was afraid of hurting herself in the struggle, so she quickly let go of her hand. As soon as she got free, Min Jing glared at Ouyang Jinhua with a fierce gaze, her eyes full of venom.
She herself was indeed fierce, and could never withstand her cousin's few words plus staring eyes. With just one glance, Ouyang Jinhua began to apologize, "Sorry, cousin, I'm just afraid you'll do something at the banquet later, after all, it's a banquet hosted by Director Mu, and the future successor of the Mu family is also here. If you ruin this banquet..."
"What's wrong, are you scared?" Min Jing glared at her own cousin with a displeased face.
At this, Ouyang Jinhua spat out a mouthful of blood. "I was just trying to help you, didn't you see that my grandfather is also on good terms with Director Mu? They're old friends and he has great respect for him. If you cause trouble at the banquet, when we get back, my grandfather will skin me alive! And you'd better be careful too!"
Upon hearing this, Min Jing also came back to her senses and looked carefully, only to find that Ouyang Jinhua's grandfather was indeed among them. Her face stiffened, "Heh heh, I didn't expect to see a familiar face here. Don't jinx it."
Although Min Jing has recovered, she was slightly surprised when she said that the heir of the Mu family looked familiar. Could it be that her own cousin actually knew the future heir of the Mu family?
"Do you know her?" Ou Yang Jin Hua asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Min Jing.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and in fact, she was also somewhat uncertain in her heart. After all, today's Su Mo Ruo was not much like the Su Mo Ruo she used to know, with a huge change. That black evening gown on her body, if it weren't for someone who knew her very well, would probably be unrecognizable.
Looking at her own cousin's hesitant appearance, she couldn't help but cast a curious glance at the woman sitting next to Mu Xinhua, whose expression was calm and composed, like a snow lotus flower on Mount Tian, elegant yet icy cold, extraordinary yet not something an ordinary man could be honored with.
"Do you really know her?" Ou Yang Jinhua asked again for confirmation.
"I don't know." If it was really Sumo, then when she came to Hong Kong this time, she had also told her in the dormitory that she was coming to Hong Kong and even went to the airport together. However, she never told her that she too was coming to Hong Kong. It seemed that even if it were her, she wouldn't want others to know her identity either. So, in the end, she just shook her head.
"Okay, since you don't know then never mind."
"Jin Hua, you little scamp, now that you're here, why are you hiding in the corner and not coming out to see people?" A loud, energetic male voice came from not far away. Although he was already advanced in age, about to turn eighty, Ouyang Zhenrong looked remarkably robust due to his habit of taking care of himself, and his face was full of kindness as he looked at his grandson.
I didn't expect to be found by my own grandfather. Originally, when this successor heard that it was a woman tonight, he had already guessed that Grandfather might have such an idea, and now, listening to Grandfather's voice, the bad premonition in his heart became even stronger.
"You little scamp, it's been so long since you've seen your grandma, and today when you see her, why don't you go up to her and ask how she's doing?" Ouyang Zhenrong stared at his own grandson with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Ouyang Jinhua couldn't help but smile bitterly upon hearing this. This wasn't about sincerely asking Mu Xinhua for her well-being, it was clearly about getting himself to flirt with that little sister.
Although she is indeed a beauty, making men drool at the sight of her, he has already settled someone in his heart, so even if she were to surpass the beauty of the heavenly goddesses, he would still have no interest.
Looking at his own grandson's appearance, he guessed what was on his mind. Over the years, this grandson has been outstanding in ability, which made him very satisfied, but the only dissatisfaction is that he actually likes a divorced woman.
"Come, let's go see your maternal grandmother and the adopted granddaughter she took in, your younger sister." The last three words were spoken with a warm and smooth tone.
Listening to this, he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, but still had no choice but to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, Ouyang Zhenrong.
On the other side, a few people were chatting happily when Ouyang Zhenrong brought Ouyang Jinhua over and smiled at Mu Xinhua, "Sister, this is my grandson Jinhua. He went abroad when he was over ten years old and hasn't seen you since then. Now I'm letting him come over to greet you."
Mu Xin Hua felt helpless in his heart. This move wasn't it already clear that he too had taken a liking to Su Mo Ruo and was preparing to make her his own granddaughter-in-law?
But on the surface, still calm and composed, with a smile, "So this is Jin Hua, huh? When you were little, grandma saw that you were just a small kid, but you were also very fierce, kids of your age weren't your match, often getting beaten up until they cried for their parents, even having their parents come to your house to complain to your parents and grandparents."
I didn't expect these trivial matters to be brought up by Mu Xin Hua, I was thinking about other things and had some concerns, but this sentence suddenly dispelled all my other thoughts, a truly awkward smile, "Mu Nai Nai, that's all in the past, we were just kids back then, now we've grown up, it won't happen again..."
"Is that so? You little scamp, you're just like when you were a kid. I heard as soon as you returned to the country, you went to the Yang family's young master and flirted with Miss Yang..." Mu Xinhua spoke in a bold and generous tone, not showing any signs of embarrassment, although the content of her words was somewhat improper, but matching her tone and expression, it didn't provoke anyone's displeasure.
It was Ou Yang Zhen Rong who chuckled and said, "My grandson was just teaching a lesson to the young master and servant girl of the Yang family for bullying a little girl. They didn't know their place and actually did something so shameful in public. My grandson simply did a good deed."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xinhua was speechless with laughter.
"Ouyang, I've said it before, your temperament has been like this since you were young, how can't you change? You like to take charge and hit people when you don't like them. You don't consider the consequences, and now you're teaching your grandson to be just like you." Li Xiaonian had been good friends with Ouyang Zhenrong since childhood, and over the years their relationship had only gotten better. He understood his friend's personality well, and he was also aware of what Mu Xinhua was talking about. Of course, Ouyang Jinhua hadn't done anything wrong, but when doing things, one should always think about minimizing losses on their own side. Although they weren't afraid of the Yang family, even a small, insignificant person could cause trouble if provoked, and the consequences of their actions would be enough to give them headaches for a while.
"Alright, this is just once, after I get back, I'll teach that little brat a good lesson. And he's also kind-hearted, isn't he?" Towards Li Xiaonian, Ouyang Zhenrong had always treated him with the respect of an elder brother. When they were young, he consistently thought that his big brother would be able to win over Mu Xinhua, but how could he have imagined that someone would intervene, and now, it's all been in vain for this big sister her whole life.
"Stop all this nonsense. If you want to teach a lesson, why not do it privately?" He glanced at Li Xiao Nian, and the look in his eyes was understood by both of them.
Feeling embarrassed by this gaze, he coughed awkwardly and then fell silent.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Su Moruo, your maternal grandmother's granddaughter. You can call her Little Sister Mo from now on." After introducing them, Ouyang Zhenrong winked at Mu Xinhua.
"You're so old and still so mischievous!" Mu Xinhua couldn't help but scold Ou Yang Zhenrong with a stern face.
"I'm not being unscrupulous at all, big sister, you're wronging me."
Mu Xinhua didn't bother talking nonsense with her anymore. Smiling at Ouyang Jinhua, he slightly smiled and said, "Little Hua, come, let's get to know Ruo Ruo."
"Come, let me introduce you, this is the grandson of your maternal grandfather's family, Ou Yang Jin Hua."
Su Mo stood up, tall enough that she didn't need to look up much to see Ouyang Jinhua's eyes. "Hello, I'm Su Mo."
With a formal tone and expression, he stretched out his hand and looked at Ouyang Jinhua with propriety.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jinhua's heart was also slightly surprised, but he still responded with a smile, "You're so young, may I call you that from now on?"
"Of course." He said, and then withdrew his hand.
Next to her, Min Jing had been staring at Su Mo Ruo with unblinking eyes, and in her heart, she had already confirmed that the absolutely beautiful girl in front of her was indeed Su Mo Ruo.
"Min Jing, why are you staring at me like that? Don't you recognize me?" She had been teasing this friend for days now, and if she still didn't acknowledge her, Min Jing would probably be furious when she got back. Moreover, regarding the matters on the Hong Kong side, she still didn't want Min Jing to spill the beans, so directly greeting her seemed more natural."
"You... you... you really are..." Suddenly hearing this voice, Min Jing was unable to react for a moment, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at Su Mo Ruo, stuttering for half the day without being able to utter a complete sentence.
"I told you before, but you didn't believe me." Looking at Min Jing's shocked expression, she reached out and pulled Min Jing to Mu Xinhua's side, "Grandma, this is my classmate from Donghai, we're very close."
It's rare to hear that Su Mo has friends, knowing her personality isn't easy to get along with. Now, looking at the girl who should be a relative of the Ouyang family, and herself being on good terms with the Ouyang family, Su Mo also having a good relationship with the people from the Ouyang family, it's not a bad thing. She nodded repeatedly, pulled Min Jing to ask her a few questions before stopping.
Upon learning of Su Mo Ruo's relationship with Min Jing, Ouyang Zhen Rong was also delighted. Earlier, when he had a conversation with Su Mo Ruo, he found that this young lady seemed to be naturally cold and distant, even when speaking with her elders. Although she answered politely, she was somewhat aloof and indifferent. Now that Min Jing knows Su Mo Ruo, if they were to subtly intervene, wouldn't the chances of their own grandson bringing home a beautiful bride increase?
It just so happens that someone likes to intervene, Li Xiao Nian doesn't care about the relationship between the two, no matter how good or bad it is, nor does he care who's the older or younger brother, nor what's allowed or not. With a fake smile, he patted Ou Yang Zhen Rong's arm and said, "Have you forgotten? Tomorrow morning, your grandson has to fly to Country Y to discuss cooperation with Nie Shengzi on filming 'Jin Zhuang', and what about that land in Country D? If you don't want it, I won't be polite."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhenrong gritted his teeth. The land in Country D was something they had been eyeing for a long time, and this time it was also discussed and agreed upon to give their company the opportunity. All friends would not interfere, "So what if I, this old man, take action, can't I just do it?"
"Grandpa, stop messing around. Your body can't take long-distance flights." Hearing his own grandfather's words, Ouyang Zhenrong looked embarrassed and pulled the excited Ouyang Zhenrong aside to remind him quietly.
Ouyang Zhenrong listened, his face also looked embarrassed. Over the years, his body has been getting worse day by day. Although this time he won't be in any danger, he will definitely rest for a long time after returning. Moreover, these things have already been handed over to his grandson to do. If he wants his grandson to take over the company smoothly in the future, he must first create an image for him in front of the company's employees.
And this time, it's absolutely a big project that the company has been working on recently. If it succeeds, Sunzi's position will be even more unshakeable.
So, in this way, Ouyang Zhenrong really hesitated a bit.
"Alright, I'll tell you what's on your minds. If it were just a matter of time, Su Moruo would be busy with company matters for the entire summer break, so she definitely wouldn't have any free time. So, put away your thoughts." Mu Xinhua glanced at several old friends and took a look at Su Moruo, seeing that her expression was unchanged, he felt slightly relieved in his heart.
Everyone listening to Mu Xin Hua's words suddenly realized that they had unknowingly exposed their thoughts and plans in front of Su Mo Ruo.
"Girl, how about it? Are you interested in letting Grandpa call his grandson over to teach you how to deal with the company's mistakes?" Nie Qinhua smiled like a fox, narrowing her eyes, exuding an aura of... seductiveness.
"No need." He shifted his gaze and turned in another direction, directly giving Nie Qinghua a cold back.
Although Su Mo's behavior was very impolite, An Nan De Nie Qin Hua wasn't someone who played by the rules either. As a result, not only did he not get angry, but instead, Nie Qin Hua looked at Su Mo with even more favor.
"Alright, kiddo. Grandpa thinks you're a good match for his grandson too. From now on, no matter if you're with his grandson or not, if there's anything you need help with, grandpa will definitely help you."
"Then thank you, Grandpa."
Li Xiao Nian didn't fall behind, quickly walking two steps to Su Mo Ruo's front, "Since you are sister's granddaughter, then it's not much different from my own granddaughter, little lass, if there's anything you need grandfather's help with in the future, just speak up, ah."
"Yes, I will."
For the enthusiasm shown by several elderly households, Su Mo Ruo was somewhat overwhelmed. Fortunately, Mu Xinhua left first due to physical discomfort, and Su Mo Ruo pushed Mu Xinhua out of sight of the enthusiastic grandfathers.
Back in the elevator and returning to the third-floor lounge, Mu Xinhua indeed looked a bit tired, her complexion not looking too good either. "Grandma, let me take you back to the hospital to rest."
"Hehe, let Huiqin support me, I think you, probably for a while, can't walk." Murong Hua looked at Suomoruo with a smile that was not quite a smile, and then had Huiqin, who was following behind her, push her away.
"If you can't come back tonight, just remember to come over tomorrow, I still have some things to tell you." As she was leaving, Su Moruo still heard Mu Xinhua's voice.
"Come out." When Mu Xinhua completely disappeared, Su Moruo walked to the sofa and sat down leisurely, his eyes coldly staring at the window outside, saying in a cold voice.
"It's been so long since we last met, don't you miss me?" The demon's male voice was laced with a hint of tender emotions that were hard to detect.
A sneer played on his lips, "Your absence is the greatest favor you can bestow upon me."
"Is it so heartless?" Luo Zimo, who had slipped in from outside the window, twitched at the corner of his mouth when he heard this.
"Ruthless?" She raised her eyes to look at the man who had entered through the window without feeling any shame, and his face was as thick-skinned as a city wall.
"Where you came from, leave from there. I have something to do, so I'll go first." Towards Luo Zhi Wu, she had always kept a respectful distance. People like him were trouble if they got too close. After saying that, Su Mo Ruo stood up and was about to leave.
"It's over." As Su Mo Ruo took a step forward and was about to leave, he suddenly flashed out his hand, intending to stop Su Mo Ruo from taking another step.
Not willing to let Luo Zimo retreat, Su Mo dodged the man who blocked her path with a swift movement and charged straight at Luo Zimo.
Luo Zhi Mu watched as Su Mo Ruo made a move towards him, and he hastily countered, but unexpectedly, this was just a smoke bomb trick that made him forget to defend himself. A feint later, when he turned his head around, he had already seen the back of Su Mo Ruo swiftly flashing away.
Looking at the figure that had long since disappeared, Luo Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly as he took a deep breath and thought to himself: Su Mo, no matter how you try to escape, in the end you will still have to marry me and become my woman.
