President's Brand

Chapter 9

But she couldn't do anything about his caring...

The breath of early autumn is always refreshing and pleasant, and the sun is warm.

Xi Mu got up early and went back to the town by car. Seeing the familiar smiling faces, her steps gradually became brisk.As soon as she entered the corridor, she heard the sound of quarreling coming from the house, and she ran towards the house in three steps at a time.

The door of the house was ajar, Xi Mu pushed the door anxiously and walked in, and saw his father and his partner who had known each other for many years arguing fiercely.

"Old Xi, why are you so ignorant! We failed to get a loan, and now my old classmate is willing to help us, so you can change your arrogant temper!"

"Ji Kun, let's not talk about this matter, you know my bottom line!"

"You man! Well, tell me, why do you refuse to cooperate with Qiao's when you have the opportunity these years? What's the grudge between you and Qiao's?"

Xi Mu looked at the two people who were arguing with red faces, and hurriedly interrupted them, "Dad! Uncle Ji! I'm back." Hearing the content of their conversation, she hurriedly interrupted: "Talk slowly, don't quarrel. !"

Ji Kun didn't want to give up at first, but seeing that Xi Mu couldn't argue in front of the junior when he went home, his tone eased: "Mu Mu, you're back! Your father and I have some disagreements, it's okay! "

Seeing his daughter coming home, Xi Mocheng's tense expression changed. He looked very tired, and he sat on the sofa silently.

Ji Kun slowed down for a while, dissipated all the anger in his body, got up and went out.

Seeing that the faces of both of them were not good, Xi Mu could only treat him as a peacemaker and send him out.When he was outside the door, Ji Kun whispered to Xi Mu: "Mu Mu, please advise your father not to carry it hard. Our company failed to invest and the bank loan has not been secured. Now we can only rely on Uncle Qiao's Classmates help tide over the difficulties!"

When Xi Mu heard the word "Joe's", Xi Mu's heart had already cooled down, with a hard smile on her face, after she sent her away, she returned to the room with a complicated expression.

Seeing his father lying on his back exhaustedly on the sofa, Xi Mu's heart ached and his eyes became sore.In recent days, her father's company has encountered problems. Although he deliberately concealed it, she still knows a little bit about it.

"Father..." Xi Mu sat beside her father, just like when she was a child, she stretched out her hand to hold his father's arm, and snuggled up to him. Whenever this time, she felt the safest.

Xi Mocheng closed his eyes slightly, reached out to hold his daughter's hand, and said in a surprisingly kind voice, "Don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Although her father concealed it well, she could still discern the fatigue in his voice.

There was a soreness in her nose, Xi Mu held back her tears, she knew her father's bottom line, so she would not persuade him to get involved with Qiao Shi.But if one day my father finds out that, in fact, these years, their father and daughter and Qiao's have not been as clean as father thought, what will be the result?Such a thought made her turn pale, and she dared not think about it again!

The originally pleasant weekend became dull because of the embarrassment of the father's company.

Early on Monday morning, Xi Mu returned to City T by car, Ling He picked her up at the station, the two had breakfast together, and the car drove towards Qin's.

A refreshing breeze came in from the open car window, Ling He held the steering wheel with one hand, and held her hand in the palm of the other.

"Concentrate on driving, okay?" Seeing him distracted from driving, Xi Mu suggested worriedly.

"Are you doubting my driving skills?" Ling He looked ahead, with a smile on his lips, and squeezed her palm again while speaking.

Xi Mu looked at his gentle side face, and kept thinking about whether to tell him about his father, but he didn't open his mouth several times.

"Is there something on your mind?" Ling He looked at her slightly frowning brows and noticed her strangeness.

Xi Mu hurriedly shook his head, and made a decisive decision at the last moment, "It's okay!"

The car drove not far from Qin's, Xi Mu was afraid of being seen by his colleagues, and wanted to get out of the car impatiently, but he didn't want someone to start showing his evil nature.

Ling He locked the car door, looking at her anxious and bright red face, the evil factor in his heart became even worse, "Kiss me!" His tone was unprecedentedly domineering.

Xi Mu watched the people coming and going outside the window, afraid of being seen by his familiar colleagues, he refused to give in.

Seeing her shy expression, Ling He's eyes darkened, he leaned over and threatened, "If you don't want to kiss me, then I'll kiss you instead!"

Xu Shi was terrified by his words, Xi Mu thought for a few seconds, and finally before he pressed down his thin lips, he took a step ahead and landed a kiss on his side cheek.

"Okay, open the door quickly, I'm going to be late!" Xi Mu's coquettish and angry tone made his whole heart go numb. He wanted to tease her, but seeing that she was really going to get angry, he had no choice but to be relentless. Reluctantly opened the door.

Seeing her petite figure running away, Ling He thought for a long time, and various expressions changed in those gentle eyes.

The morning's work was quite leisurely, and Xi Mu ate lunch in a good mood, remembering that Cheng An would come to Qin's to deliver the proposal in the afternoon, a smile appeared on her face.

Picking up the phone, Xi Mu dialed the number, and soon heard her rising voice: "Why do you have time to think of me, the chick in love?" Only Cheng An knew about her reconciliation with Ling He .

When Xi Mu heard her words, he couldn't help laughing, and teased her: "I have some gossip for you! Manager Song from the planning department is handsome and unrestrained, an absolute young talent!"

"Ah! You damn girl, why didn't you tell me earlier that I'm wearing conservative clothes today!" Cheng An's tone suddenly rose.

Holding the phone in his hands, Xi Mu laughed softly, with a playful tone: "Cheng An, you pervert!"

"Cut! Sis, this is true color!" Cheng An said indifferently.

"Okay, I don't have time to be poor with you. I'm going out to do some errands in the afternoon, so I'll cheer you up first and wish you success!" Xi Mu stopped smiling and looked calm.

On the other end of the phone, Cheng An's heart warmed up, and the joke on his face disappeared, "Don't worry, wait for my call to announce the good news!"

The two talked a few more words before Xi Mu hung up the phone.When she got up to pour water, she suddenly saw Qin Yao standing not far away.Thinking of the content of the phone call just now, her face suddenly turned red.
