Don’t be a licking dog when you are reborn.

Chapter 257 The Reason for Snow (2 in 1)

"Shen Ling, you are really crazy. Do you know what you are doing? Shut her up. Shut her up."

Mu Jiang became hysterical, but Uncle Hat was not a vegetarian either.

If it were normal times, when you come to a family like the Mu family, you would definitely say hello.

The strange thing is that Shen Ling handles the legal affairs of the Mu family on weekdays. She specially said hello for today, so today's Uncle Hat is particularly merciless.

"Mr. Mu Jiang, we hope you will cooperate and not do anything extraordinary at this time."

After being warned twice by Uncle Hat, Mu Jiang finally fell silent.

"Mr. Shen?"

"Mr. Shen!"

Some company members who either worked with Shen Ling or were under her stood up.

This sudden change really shocked them, and now everyone was at a loss.

Shen Ling looked at everyone present and nodded slightly to those who supported her and followed her.

And for those who sit on the fence or prefer Mujiang, she also left a message:

"Everyone, even if you don't like me or dislike me, or you are Mu Jiang's allies or subordinates, please remember one thing.

As long as there is no conflict of interest, you don’t have to refute what I say. "

Several people were slightly startled when they heard this sentence, and they quietly suppressed their attempts to stop them from blurting out.

They looked at Mu Jiang inexplicably.

Benefit!

The interests of the Mu family are not the interests of the Mu family. Shen Ling has made it very clear in some words before. If Mu Jiang wants to run away, there is indeed a possibility of running away.

And the current situation is really not worth their continued loyalty to Mu Jiang.

At least, you should observe it before talking.

"Goodbye, everyone."

After Shen Ling said these words, her whole body seemed to be deflated, and she instantly became sluggish and weak.

Since they were really arrested, she and Mu Jiang were naturally treated the same. They were handcuffed by Uncle Hat and were about to be taken away.

At this moment, Mu Wanqiu seemed to realize that something was wrong with her mother's condition.

Her back was no longer as straight as before, her eyes were not as sharp as before, and even her walking steps became more frivolous than before.

"Mother……"

Mu Wanqiu rushed forward, but her pursuit was stopped by the hat uncles, while Shen Ling just looked back at her, her expression still calm as never before.

"Mu Wanqiu, don't make trouble."

"But mom..."

"Okay, listen."

"..."

"Late Autumn, I was born to be a mountain, not a stream. Remember, you were too."

"I."

"Do what you should do, stop loving each other, and don't let me down, Mu Wanqiu!"

"I know, Mom."

Shen Ling was finally taken away, and like Mu Jiang, the evidence for their crimes was conclusive, except for the outrageous charges of abetting and organizing prostitution, which sounded a bit nonsense.

The charges of commercial fraud were collected bit by bit by Shen Ling over the past twenty years.

To be authentic enough and to gain trust.

She involved herself in the game.

Shen Ling personally handled many of Mu Jiang's extremely illegal acts in business, and she did them very well. She never thought about escaping unscathed, so she was able to kill him with one blow.

Mu Wanqiu stood alone as she watched her mother being taken away.

Panic, daze.

Without her mother's blessing, Ji Feng, the ally who could bring her confidence, is no longer there.

Mu Wanqiu felt panicked as never before.

Her confused look was naturally caught by other people in the conference room. Many people shook their heads slightly, and they were also thinking.

As the new head of the Mu family, is Mu Wanqiu really okay?

This kind of quality feels a bit lacking!

When all the hat guys left, the fingertip team, which had left temporarily, returned at this time.

Ji Feng and Mu Wanqiu looked at each other for a moment.

But what disappointed Ji Feng was that the little rich woman actually avoided his gaze at this time.

Ugh……

Ji Feng sighed in his heart. If Mu Wanqiu continues to be like this and can't cheer up, then everything Shen Ling has done before will be in vain.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyue suddenly rushed up, grabbed Mu Wanqiu's hair and slapped her.

Snapped! ~
Loud slaps roamed the conference room.

"Mu Wanqiu, you are a bitch just like your mother. Your mother did it on purpose. I know that your mother did it on purpose."

Seeing Mu Wanqiu being beaten, Nuan Nuan's eyes changed obviously.

But Ji Feng stopped her at this moment.

"If even the little miscellaneous fish of the same generation can't get through, then Aunt Shen's preparations will be in vain."

Wen Nuan pursed her lips, but remained silent after all.

At this time, everyone in the conference room was looking at Mu Wanqiu.

The little rich woman's cheeks were already red and swollen.

Her eyes were still dull, but no longer dull. She didn't know if she should thank Mu Xiaoyue.

Because the other party's slap directly woke her up.

The originally dazed eyes suddenly converged, and Mu Wanqiu suddenly raised her hand and slapped Mu Xiaoyue on the face.

Snapped! ~
"Mu Xiaoyue, I have tolerated you for a long time!"

While Mu Xiaoyue was shocked, Mu Wanqiu suddenly raised her foot and kicked Mu Xiaoyue in the stomach.

Mu Wanqiu has also been practicing dance for a long time, and there is absolutely no problem with her body strength.

After this kick, Mu Xiaoyue immediately knelt on the ground, sobbing and unable to get up.

"Security, take this person down."

No one agreed to Mu Wanqiu's instructions. The security guards at the door had already walked in, but after they glanced at Mu Xiaoyue and Mu Wanqiu, they turned their attention to the executives and shareholders.

It seems that Mu Wanqiu's words cannot play a decisive role at this time.

None of the senior executives spoke up, and no one was willing to speak first at this time.

Everyone was obviously looking at each other, but no one spoke. The strange silence made the atmosphere more solemn.

Mu Wanqiu took a deep breath. She first glanced at Ji Feng and the others. Her fingers were trembling with nervousness and uneasiness.

At this time, she could only fold her arms and pretend to be arrogant to hide her uneasiness, nervousness, and fear.

The mother was taken away, but Monsoon came here.

Recalling what they told him before contacting him again, Mu Wanqiu knew that he could not retreat.

She can't always hide behind others, she needs to stand up and do what she should do!
The little rich woman had bitten the flesh inside her lower lip, and blood followed the saliva and stained the gaps between her teeth.

But the pain and the smell of blood also made her gradually wake up.

Looking at the executives, Mu Wanqiu suddenly felt like she was on stage for the first time as a child.

The girl's intuition told her that this was a new stage, except that she was no longer a dancer.

She has to carry on what her mother left behind, and she can't be a coward anymore.

She could no longer be a child. She was Mu Wanqiu, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Mu family who inherited her mother's will. She was Mu Wanqiu, and she was going to be the head of the Mu family.

drink……

Looking up, a look that had never appeared before flashed across the face of the rich young woman.

No one knew what it was, not even Ji Feng and Wen Nuan could guess, but she had already started her own story:
“I still have the shares of the Fingertip Future project. My mother said that as long as there is no conflict of interest, you don’t have to refute what I say.

I think everyone should understand what this means.”

After this sentence, a vice president finally reacted.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Zhou, didn't you hear what Miss Wan Qiu said? Take her to Mu Xiaoyue immediately."

"Uh, yes."

Mu Xiaoyue, who was dragged away by the security guard, screamed immediately. She was as hysterical as Mu Jiang who was taken away before.

"Mu Wanqiu, when my dad comes out, I will kill you. I won't let you go."

Mu Xiaoyue finally left, and the scene returned to silence at this moment.

But the silence in the meeting room was not broken.

Until Ji Feng suddenly applauded, the applause brought everyone back to their senses:

"It's an interesting scene, it's really worth the trip."

Mu Wanqiu looked at Ji Feng, feeling inexplicably sad in her heart. It was not until today that she finally understood where she was lacking.

Everyone lives in a cruel reality.

And she had always lived in a fairy tale.

Fairy tales were created by those who loved her, but that was not reality. The reality was that even Ji Feng, the person she loved, was hiding something from her.

He knew everything, but he didn't say a word.

Mu Wanqiu knew that it was because of her lack of ability, because she was weak and stupid, everyone looked down on her, and telling her the truth would only do harm.

So, the fairy tale has to end and she has to return to reality.

"Hello... Everyone, Ms. Shen Ling just opened the interim board meeting and proposed to remove Mr. Mu Jiang from his position as chairman. Now, I propose that the interim board meeting continue."

Many executives looked at each other...

Although no one agreed, no one refuted it either.

Remove Mu Jiang?

It seems that this requires the consent of at least 9 out of 6 directors, and Mu Jiang and Shen Ling are two directors themselves, which means that as long as 7 of the remaining 2 people are against it, even if they abstain from voting, the matter will not be accomplished.

This is not a trivial matter, and everyone’s money does not come from the wind.

Mu Jiang and Shen Ling were arrested, and the company was leaderless.

No matter what, no matter whether it is to speak or to take the blame, someone has to be found to take charge.

So……

"Second." A middle-aged man with baldness suddenly spoke up. He was Shen Ling's confidant, and also the most accurate move when everyone was wavering.

"Old Liu, are you serious?"

"What's the point of being serious? The company is going to go bankrupt. If it does, the shares you hold will be nothing but paper."

It was a very simple sentence, but it played a decisive role at this time.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

The voices of seconding the motion came one after another. After all the directors agreed that the temporary board meeting would continue, the bald man stood up again:

"I agree to remove Mu Jiang from his position as chairman."

Everyone:...

Many people looked hesitant. Removing a chairman normally wouldn't happen so easily.

And even if it happens, it will be difficult to pass. After all, the company law is there, and the chairman himself is not without faction.

But the problem now is that the chairman has been arrested and the company is at a critical juncture.

It's outrageous, but it happened.

What should I do? Should I really remove Mu Jiang?
"I agree."

"Are you crazy? Mu Jiang is the head of the Mu family."

"I know Mu Jiang is the head of the Mu family, but I also believe in Mr. Shen's ability."

"That's right. Now that Mr. Shen has spoken, I think this matter has come to a conclusion. After all, Mr. Shen will not do something easily."

"Yes, since Mr. Shen has done it, he will definitely do it. Everyone should know what is going on."

Several shareholders exchanged glances, but some still hesitated:
"But Mr. Mu is the boss."

"All the people from the future are already there, and you are still discussing the two people who were captured. Do you think your death is not fast enough?"

The directors did not hide their discussion, and as they chatted, the topic turned to Ji Feng.

The equity repurchase agreement of Zhijian Future has put a lot of pressure on Mu’s company.

Everyone is smart and knows that the shares held by Mu Wanqiu are the only hope of the Mu family at present. It can even be said that the second branch is the same as the first branch.

As long as they are determined to completely abandon the Mu Group, Mu Imaging will have no choice but to file for bankruptcy.

Therefore, Ji Feng's side is the key, and the situation of the Mu family is complicated and difficult to understand for a while.

Mu Wanqiu herself became the top priority.

"I agree." "I agree."

"Same, I agree to remove Mu Jiang from the position of chairman, but I have a new proposal. I suggest that Miss Mu Wanqiu be elected as the new chairman of Mu's Imaging."

The sudden voice startled everyone present, and Mu Wanqiu was also stunned at this moment.

Chairman?
Ji Feng and his mother had not talked about this matter. Both Ji Feng and Shen Ling had only asked her to prepare to become the head of the Mu family.

But neither of them mentioned the position of chairman of Mu's Imaging.

This is a hot potato.

The rich young woman subconsciously looked at Ji Feng, as if asking if this matter was arranged by Ji Feng, but Ji Feng also frowned slightly and shook his head at this time.

The young rich woman immediately understood that this was a way of roasting her on the fire.

Today's Mu's Imaging cannot be taken over easily.

But if we exchange the position of the head of the family...

"I'm sorry, uncles, seniors, Mu Wanqiu has little experience and is incompetent. I'm afraid I need to prepare for the selection of the Patriarch of the Mu Family more than the position of Chairman of Mu's Imaging."

A very clever statement. It can be said that Mu Wanqiu is rarely so clever.

If Mu Group goes bankrupt, the Mu family will be the biggest affected, but other shareholders will also be greatly affected.

In the current situation, Mu Wanqiu is putting pressure on the shareholders.

Let the shareholders put pressure on the Mu family.

She is inexperienced and incapable now because she is not yet the head of the Mu family. When she becomes the head of the Mu family, she will naturally no longer be inexperienced and incapable.

The shareholders looked at each other, and the more entangled they were, the more entangled they became.

They actually didn't want to get involved in the Mu family's affairs, but the interests involved were too deep, and some things had to be done in the end.

"Ms. Mu Wanqiu is very capable. In the absence of Mu Jiang and Shen Ling, I support Miss Mu Wanqiu to become the new head of the Mu family."

"I agree. I will call Mr. Mu tonight."

"Me too."

"me too."

"Well, I hereby announce that this interim board meeting has passed the resolution to remove Mu Jiang from his position as chairman!"

The meeting ended, but the crowd did not disperse.

Mu Wanqiu, who was once an unknown person, has suddenly become a special person that everyone needs to contact and chat with.

The young rich lady also greeted all the uncles and seniors very politely.

After everyone had left, only Mu Wanqiu, Ji Feng and Wen Nuan were left in the meeting room.

Wen Nuan already sensed something was wrong. After everyone left, the smile on Mu Wanqiu's face had completely disappeared.

She felt a little sad, an emotion that she had never felt before.

However, she did not quit at this time, saying anything like leaving space for Mu Wanqiu and Ji Feng.

She knew what was going to happen next.

But no one can bully Ji Feng, not even Mu Wanqiu.

At the long conference table, Mu Wanqiu sat on the left, while Ji Fengwenwan sat on the right.

Now that everyone has left, there is no need for Ji Feng to continue to restrain his emotions and expressions:
"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

"Monsoon, you know everything, right?"

"Ah."

After Ji Feng finished answering, Mu Wanqiu did not get angry, did not yell, and did not grab Ji Feng's collar and question him loudly.

She just sat there quietly, thinking quietly, as if she couldn't feel the passage of time.

"My mother, what happened?"

"Triple-negative breast cancer has been metastatic for a long time. Don't think too much about it."

Ji Feng's tone was very calm, but when Mu Wanqiu heard these words, she felt endless sadness.

cancer……

Late stage, metastasis.

As a daughter, she didn't notice anything at all.

Should I praise Shen Ling for hiding it well enough, or should I despise myself for being so careless and not paying attention to the most important person in my life?
Mother……

"Am I particularly useless in your eyes? I'm not even qualified to know the whole plan?"

Ji Feng didn't want to answer this question, but he also understood that Mu Wanqiu should indeed grow up.

The little white flowers hidden in the house cannot withstand the wind and rain.

"Yes."

Mu Wanqiu lowered her head and covered her head with her hands, as if trying to hide her emotions, but tears still slid down her wrists.

Powerless and unable to do anything.

The truth was right in front of me, but I had never noticed it.

Mother and Ji Feng were indeed hiding something, but could she herself?

Mu Wanqiu thought of what her mother said to her that night, that one should accept someone's departure because it would be a new beginning.

Her mother had already told her implicitly at the time, and Ji Feng had also told her that she would become the head of the Mu family.

But these gains come at a price.

Both Ji Feng and her mother had reminded her subtly, but she didn't understand.

She couldn't guess what Ji Feng would do next, nor could she understand the person hidden in her mother's words, which was herself.

"Was the so-called marriage match also arranged by my mother?"

"Yes."

After hearing Ji Feng's answer, Mu Wanqiu's breathing stopped for a few seconds. At this moment, she actually understood what her mother had said at the airport before.

"As a mother, letting you marry someone you like is the last thing I can do for you!"

She wishes to unite herself with Monsoon.

She used her emotions and planned to throw herself into his arms after getting drunk, because only then would she let go of her ridiculous reserve.

She took advantage of Mu's greed and reminded Ji Feng to protect himself.

So, my mother had already fought for it. She thought of many better ways and secretly did a lot of things for herself, trying her best to prepare everything for herself.

It's just that she is too stupid, she doesn't understand anything.

There is actually only a fine line between naivety and stupidity.

She had missed everything, so how could she blame others?
As expected, my mother is the most amazing. Everything developed as she expected. She is a true genius and a strong woman.

But why couldn't she be happy?
"I see."

"Feel sorry."

"Monsoon, do I still have a chance to see my mother?"

"Yes, Auntie has already prepared everything. She will apply for medical parole."

"understood."

Mu Wanqiu stood up and left the meeting room before Ji Feng. Without the previous feelings or attachment, the distance between her and Ji Feng suddenly became very far.

It seems that we are not even friends anymore.

Watching Mu Wanqiu leave, Wen Nuan sighed slightly:
"I knew that Wanqiu would be very sad, even if this so-called deception was for her own good..."

"Everyone needs to grow up, and she is no exception."

……

The next day, just as Ji Feng said, Shen Ling applied for medical parole, and she had already prepared the relevant materials.

She didn't have much time left, so everything went very smoothly.

Mu Wanqiu came to the hospital. Even though she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help feeling dizzy when she saw Shen Ling's bald head.

"Mom... Dad is here too."

"Come?" Shen Ling was unexpectedly calm. Beside her, Mu Kui was silently peeling oranges for her.

Hearing Mu Wanqiu's voice, the usually unrestrained Mu Kui nodded silently but did not speak to her.

Mu Wanqiu stared at her father and pursed her lips. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Finally, Shen Ling spoke:
"Mu Wanqiu, your father and I have the same attitude. We hope that you will become the new head of the Mu family. This is not a compromise, nor is it a joke.

I always think that my daughter is an outstanding person and will be outstanding in the future, cough cough cough, hehe, cough cough cough..."

"Mom, stop talking!"

Seeing her mother's weakness, Mu Wanqiu felt even more distressed, but Shen Ling just smiled and shook her head:
"Mu Wanqiu, you know, I always like to call you by your full name, because that's the name I gave you."

"Mom, I understand..." Mu Wanqiu's tears were like a string of beads that had broken off the string.

"Don't cry, Mom can't get through this..."

Mu Wanqiu covered her face. She always claimed to be a genius in playing games, and she also said this when Shen Ling played video games with her.

Shut off sad, shut off.

But if you keep on closing, there will always be a day when you can't get through it.

Even her mother, who often played with her when she was a child, had trouble getting over it.

"No, mom. You will be fine."

"Silly child, cancer will kill you, it won't get you better, don't say stupid things."

"mom!"

“People are like trees, withering and flourishing, rising and falling. The trunk of the tree extends into branches, just like every choice made by a person, there is a tortuous road behind it.

But it is winter now and the leaves have fallen.

As to whether there will be new leaves at the end and whether it will bloom, we will have to wait until next spring to find out.

Mom will stop in the winter, but you will wait until spring."

"Mom, please stop talking."

"You are becoming more and more disobedient..."

Mu Wanqiu really wanted to comfort her mother, but she knew it was impossible. If she reached this stage, she would just be waiting to die.

She was still the same as before, unable to do anything.

When something happened at home, when something happened to her mother, she could only cry and wait.

"..."

"Mu Wanqiu, in the apartment in Dongyuan, where we usually agreed to stay, I left something for you. It's very important. If you use it well, it will be enough for you to control the company."

"Mom, what are you going to do?"

At this time, Shen Ling suddenly propped herself up and waved to her beloved daughter:
"Okay, go ahead and let your dad stay with me."

Mu Wanqiu wanted to say something but stopped herself, but after looking at Mu Kui, she finally chose to leave.

"it is good."

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Mu Kui held Shen Ling's hand.

At this time, Shen Ling also held him back.

"Ah."

She stood up and walked down the hospital corridor, out of the shadows of the corridor and into the warm winter sun.

"Mu Kui."

"here I am."

"Will you be mad at me?"

"No, why would I be angry with you?" Mu Kui shook his head.

After walking for a while, Shen Ling seemed a little tired, so they sat down on the chairs in the hospital.

Shen Ling leaned on Mu Kui's shoulder and immersed herself for a long time before suddenly saying:

"Mu Kui, I didn't like you before."

Mu Kui seemed to have discovered a new world, and his tone was somewhat surprised:

"before?"

As if she felt that her husband understood what she meant, Shen Ling smiled sweetly. She was still as gentle as ever towards her family:
“Love at first sight is true, but love over time is also true.

Mu Kui, you have the temper of a young master, and I am also very proud. We are both too stubborn, but thank you for staying with me for the rest of my life."

"Shen Ling, you liked me too, right?"

Mu Kui didn't get an answer.

Because she had been sleeping quietly on his neck, with a peaceful and beautiful smile, just like she was twenty years ago.

The first person who tells you it’s snowing must like you.

At this moment, snowflakes were floating in the sky.

Just like liking you, I will start with the first snow.

"Shen Ling, it's snowing."

The reason I like snow must be that I want to grow old with you.

The north wind brings the lover's longing and whitens the whole winter.
