Chapter 344 - President Steps In (3)
Although Mu Tingfeng seemed like he was just a businessman out of the outside, the inextricable connections he had behind were a constant reminder to all that this man ... was more than just a businessman.
She had offended Mu Tingfeng here today. If she could not make peace with him today, even her brother-in-law would not be able to protect her. In fact, he would also be mad at them because of this matter!
The bald middle-aged man had obviously thought of this as well. His face was miserably pale. His trembling fat cheeks somehow put on an ingratiating smile. Then, he said hastily to Mu Tingfeng, "President Mu, this... is a misunderstanding. Just a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Mu Tingfeng"s stern and almond-shaped eyes narrowed dangerously. "I"d really like to hear what kind of misunderstanding this is."
Before My Tingfeng could finish, the woman hurriedly interjected, "President Mu, this is indeed a misunderstanding. Just now, I suddenly heard my child"s cries and when I ran over, I found that the young master from President Mu"s family had b.u.mped into our Mingming. It was just a little scuffle between the kids, b.u.mping into each other. When I saw the kid crying so miserably, as I was really anxious, I got a little worked up and offended Miss Zhao. President Mu, Miss Zhao, for the sake that I was just worrying about my kid, I hope you can be gracious and forgive my rudeness and impudence."
The woman tried her best to put on a smile. She attempted to use her child as an excuse to exonerate herself.
Unfortunately, her face looked really miserable. So when she smiled, instead of making people feel appeased with her, it actually frightened people.
Zhao Youlin heard what the woman said, and a trace of sarcasm crossed her eyes. Before Mu Tingfeng showed up, this woman had kept calling her son a wretched boy. After Mu Tingfeng showed up, her way of addressing Joy and herself had upgraded to young master and Miss Zhao. This woman really knew how to distort the truth.
What Mu Tingfeng cared more about than the name-calling was another thing revealed in the woman"s words. "You said that it was my son who b.u.mped into your son?"
The woman met Mu Tingfeng"s eyes, which were overflowing with a cold aura. Her heart trembled, but she still gritted her teeth and affirmed, "Yes... yes!"
Mu Tingfeng coldly glared at the woman for a while, before he turned to the little fat boy who was hiding behind the middle-aged man with a scared look on his face. "Did my son b.u.mp into you just now?"
*Whimper. The little fat boy was so scared that he almost broke out in tears. He did not dare to answer at all.
The woman saw this and shouted anxiously from the side. "Ming Ming, say something! Tell the truth, who b.u.mped into you just now?"
When the little fat boy saw his mother encouraging him on the side, he held his tongue for quite a while before he timidly replied, "It was him. He b.u.mped into me."
The woman was overjoyed. She turned her head to look at Mu Tingfeng. "President Mu, you heard that, right? It"s your..."
The woman"s voice halted as a cold and chill aura suddenly emerged from Mu Tingfeng"s body. A daunting smile was seen on his cold face. "How old is my son? And how old is your son? Does my son look like he can knock down your son? You really think everyone is an idiot, don"t you?"
It…It"s there! President"s dark smile would only show up when he was infuriated to the extreme. The legendary mysterious smile that could make a child cry in complete terror, had appeared at this moment.
Mighty Secretary Xia, who was frightened to the extent that he almost had a cardiac arrest, took a few steps back in silence, in order to avoid being hit by a flying bullet. Every time after President put on this smile, he would definitely start unleas.h.i.+ng h.e.l.l!
He had not seen President smile like this for many years. Hmmm, so scary.
The last time he saw President smiling like this seemed to be when a daughter of a small company"s president kept rubbing herself against him as they were discussing a contract. After President put on this smile, that company went bankrupt. The family was ruined. The woman was being hunted down because of the bad deeds she did before. In the end, she had a car accident and died on the street. It was really pathetic!
Given how things were going on now, this family"s fate would not end well as well.
"However, President, did you forget that Young Master Joy is still in your arms? Aren"t you afraid that you would scare him?"
Though Xia Zhetao guessed it wrong this time. When Joy saw the look on Mu Tingfeng"s face, although he was a little panicked, he knew that this man was mad because he had been bullied. So he felt less frightened and more happy, and even... He tried to take the initiative to open his mouth and clarified, "I did not... I did not..."
"Yes?" The first to hear Joy"s mumbling was Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng, as one of them was holding him in her arms, while the other one was wrapping his arms around Zhao Youlin and was close to him. They looked down together at the same time, studying inquiringly at the child, who was mumbling to himself.
Joy felt the two gazes on him. His tiny mouth suddenly pouted. Then, he shouted, "I did not b.u.mp into him. I did not b.u.mp into him. It was him who b.u.mped into me. It was him who b.u.mped into me. *Crying. I was obediently standing right where I was to wait for Grandma Su to come back. It was him who suddenly ran over and b.u.mped into me. He knocked me down, and also knocked all the small snacks that Grandma Su gave me to the ground. *Crying."
Joy"s sudden outburst was unexpected by everyone. Zhao Youlin was the most surprised one, and perhaps the happiest of them all.
Joy had been cautious and careful in doing everything because he had been ignored in Mu Family in those few years. Whenever he was wronged, he always kept it to himself and never dared to speak out.
But today he dared to shout out his grievances and defend himself in front of everyone, which she must say was a very big step forward.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youlin could not help but glance at Mu Tingfeng, who was somewhat at a loss because of Joy"s cries. Joy would have such a change today, could it be because of this man?
Zhao Youlin was very upset as she swept a glare at Mu Tingfeng. She could not deny that she was really a little jealous.
*Crying. "I did not b.u.mp into him. I did not, I did not…" Joy was unaware of what kind of conflicting feelings his crying had brought to his mother. He kept shouting in a low voice, as if he was trying to vent all the grievances he had been feeling at this moment.
"Okay, okay. I know you are a good boy, Joy. Stop crying, Joy." Zhao Youlin hugged Joy and kissed him a few times, coaxing him in a low voice.
Su Ruixin could really feel her heart ache when she heard Joy"s crying. If she had not left suddenly just now, her precious grandson would not have been wronged like this. Not only was he knocked over by someone, but he was also being framed as well. Yhis family was so horrible!
At that moment, she did not care about anything else. She stepped forward and took Joy"s hand, as she coaxed him. "I know you"re a good boy, Joy. You wouldn"t b.u.mp into others. Stop crying, Joy. It really breaks my heart to see you crying."
"Grandma Su…"
The two women were busy coaxing Joy when Mu Tingfeng made a shocking remark that made everyone present startled again. "Mom, you and Youlin take Joy to the side to rest for a while.. I"ll be there with you in a moment after I deal with some things."
