Falling tonight

Chapter 25 Engagement
Lingtian Building.

Gao Songqing stood in front of the president's desk and reported on his work.

He glanced at the man on the boss's chair. The president seemed to be in a good mood today. For the first time, he did not scold the senior management at the regular meeting. He calmly pointed out the flaws in the documents, and his tone was gentler than ever before.

But it was such a calm Mr. Mu who actually made the senior executives at the conference table tremble with fear, thinking that a storm was about to come waiting for them.

By the end of the meeting, the president walked out relaxedly, leaving the senior executives looking at each other.

The CEO's performance throughout the morning can be described in two words - weird.

Gao Songqing held up the frame of the mirror, and his eyes fell on the vague arc at the corner of Mu Da CEO's mouth.

"Mr. Mu, the house that Miss Zhao lives in was bought at noon yesterday, so it was not included in the information previously investigated."

Mu Zhou tugged on his tie: "Did you just buy it yesterday?"

No wonder the furniture is all new.

He opened the file on the table and looked at Gao Songqing: "Check what happened to her in the Zhao family these days."

"Okay." Gao Songqing's cell phone vibrated in his pocket.

He took it out and glanced at it with a blank expression: "Ms. Zhao bought an Audi half an hour ago."

Zhao Rou had just picked up the new car and was about to check the way to Wei County when she received a call from Zhao Shijin.

His voice was anxious and a little angry: "Where have you been? The Han family's parents have been waiting for you for a long time, why haven't you come back yet."

Zhao Rou leaned against the car and responded coldly: "I still have something to do. If I don't go back, Dad, I will not get involved in your adults' affairs."

The reason why Han Zihao's parents came to see her was probably related to the fact that Han Zihao was beaten by Mu Zhou.

Did she know that Han Zihao had done something wrong and came here to silence her?Or should I apologize on behalf of Han Zihao?

Zhao Rou knew that of course it couldn't be the latter.

In this world, the weak and the strong prey on the weak. Nobles from aristocratic families like the Mu family and the Han family have the ability to easily deal with murder and arson.In the same way, Han Zihao did something immoral, but compared to the evil deeds of other swingers in the circle, it was not a big deal, and it was not enough for the Han family to mobilize their troops to find the Zhao family.

Unless the Han family had other purposes, it was to let her keep this matter in her stomach.

Zhao Shijin didn't know what Zhao Rou had experienced yesterday, but when he saw Han Zihao with a scarred face, he guessed that the Han family's visit might be related to his injury.

And Zhao Rou is definitely related to Han Zihao's injury.

He couldn't afford to offend the Han family, and when he heard Zhao Rou's rejection, he was filled with anger: "How dare you! The Han family is also a relative of the Mu family after all. When people come to see you, you avoid them, where will my and your mother's faces go?" put!"

Zhao Rou sneered, opened the car door with the car keys, and repeated what she just said: "I told you, I won't go back."

"You!" Zhao Shijin was furious.

Since the Han family was waiting in the living room, he lowered his voice in the study: "Come back now. Haven't you always wanted to know what happened 15 years ago? When you come back, I will tell you."

Zhao Rouzheng's hand opened the car door for a moment, her heartbeat was beating suddenly, and there was a huge tide in her heart. Zhao Shijin's voice seemed a little unreal.

"You mean..." Her voice trembled.

"Yes, you come back immediately. After today, don't even think of hearing a word from me!"

Zhao Rou was a little flustered, "Okay! I'll go back right away. You'd better keep your word!"

She got into the car and quickly started driving to Zhao's house.

As soon as Zhao Rou entered the house, the servant enthusiastically carried her bag. Zhou Yun smiled and waved to her, and said to a pair of middle-aged people on the sofa: "Our Zhao Rou is usually too busy. She just handled a difficult job. Let me You've been waiting for a long time. Come on, Xiaorou, this is Uncle Han and Aunt Zhu." Zhao Shijin echoed from the side and poured tea for Han's father and mother.

Zhao Rou walked over and nodded to them expressionlessly.

Father Han has a serious face, while Mother Han has a gentle appearance, somewhat similar to Mu Zhou's mother.

Zhao Fangyi sat next to Mother Han, and Mother Han held her hand. It seemed that the two were chatting happily.

There was another person sitting next to Han's father, his face was bruised and purple, his eyes were averted, it was Han Zihao.

At first glance at Han Zihao's bruised nose and swollen face, Zhao Rou was stunned for a second and then looked away.

She wanted to laugh a little, because Mu Zhou was so emotional.

I have never seen Han Zihao look so frustrated.

Han Zihao's eyes were swollen and he looked at Zhao Rou through a slit in his eyes.

Being beaten by Mu Zhou yesterday alarmed Han's mother. He couldn't hide it anymore and confessed what happened to his mother.

Although Mother Han felt sorry for his injuries, she was also angry at his actions, which really embarrassed the Han family.

In order to settle the matter, and because Han's mother wanted to meet Zhao Rou, she discussed with Han Zihao to directly go to the Zhao family to propose marriage. This not only satisfied Han Zihao's thoughts, but also prevented this kind of thing from spreading.

Han Zihao was a little scared of Han Mu's suggestion, but there was nothing he could do to calm Zhao Rou down at the moment. He could only use the family's influence to get close to her.

Mother Han had just chatted with Zhao Fangyi for a long time and she liked her very much. She was very satisfied with Zhao Rou.

As soon as Zhao Rou came in, Mother Han looked at her carefully.

She is better looking than Zhao Fangyi, with tall figure and bright facial features, but her complexion is a bit colder, which is Zihao's favorite style.

Mother Han was the first to say: "Now that Zhao Rou is here, Mr. Zhao, I won't beat around the bush."

She folded her hands on her legs with an elegant posture: "Our family, Zihao, has been dating Zhao Rou for three years. Now that both of them have returned to China, our two families can talk about marriage. Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"

???

Zhao Rou thought she heard wrongly, wasn't she here to cover her mouth?Why did Mother Han say she wanted to talk about marriage?
Zhao Shijin and his wife looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.

Before Zhao Rou came, Han's father had a serious face, Han Zihao was silent, and his face was bruised and ugly. Zhao Shijin thought that Zhao Rou had hurt Han Zihao, and they were here to cause trouble, and did not think of discussing marriage at all.

Zhao Shijin reacted immediately and said in an excited tone: "Yes, of course! We have settled Fang Yi's affairs, but we are still worried about Zhao Rou's life-long affairs."

Mother Han laughed happily after hearing this. The adults talked to each other, and the atmosphere was calm and harmonious.

Han Zihao tentatively reached out to hold Zhao Rou several times, but she dodged him in disgust.

This scene fell in Zhao Shijin's eyes.

Zhao Rou had no intention of talking to Han Zihao at the moment. She lowered her head and pursed her lips. As they chatted, her heart became heavier and heavier, and she squeezed the fingertips of the water glass hard.

She originally thought that the Han family came here to keep her secret, but she didn't expect that the Han family wanted Han Zihao to marry her, which caught her off guard.

Later in the conversation, Mother Han directly talked about the engagement.

"I heard from my sister that Mu Zhou and Fang Yi are getting engaged at the end of the month. How about letting Zihao and Zhao Rou get engaged with them. Then both families will be happy. How about that?"
