Chapter 1784: Missing (5)
“Uncle Zhou, maybe you don’t have to worry. That’s what I meant too. I heard that Qin Su is transferring out of the company. A woman like her might not be suitable for that position, it’s better to have a less stressful position.”
Mu Yuchen lowered his head and took a sip of tea before continuing, “Now that Uncle Zhou has such a plan, it’s naturally for the best. It’s actually not impossible for Uncle Zhou to try his best to matchmake Zimo and Qin Su.”
“Oh? What other ideas do you have?”
Zhou Zhenjun narrowed his eyes and gave Mu Yuchen a sidelong glance as he lowered his head to take a sip of tea.
Mu Yuchen smiled and casually leaned back in his chair, “Zimo and Qin Su aren’t the kind of people who take initiatives, especially Qin Su. I heard that Uncle Zhou and Chief Qin Yi used to be good comrades. Why don’t Uncle Zhou bring this up with him so that the two families can work together?”
Mu Yuchen said with a faint smile.
When Mu Yuchen said this, Zhou Zhenjun was stunned for a moment before he stared at Mu Yuchen.
“The pressure on Qin Su isn’t any less than Zimo’s. Uncle Zhou, why don’t you give it a try? There’s no rush to get married. We can come up with a delaying tactic. We all believe that Zimo and Qin Su will be attracted to each other, so…”
“I understand what you mean! Ah Chen! You youngsters are indeed amazing. The strategies you come up with are one after another! We didn’t have the fancy tricks of you youngsters back then!”
A light flashed in Zhou Zhenjun’s eyes. He already knew what Mu Yuchen meant.
“Thank you. I’ll call your Uncle Qin Yi right now. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a drink with him. This old fox isn’t easy to deal with either. If I want him to give his precious daughter to me as my daughter-in-law, this old man might not be that willing. I have to think about how to deal with him. This brat, I’ve really given him everything in this life. I still have to deal with his future father-in-law for him!”
Zhou Zhenjun cursed Zhou Zimo as he said this, as if Qin Su becoming his daughter-in-law was a certainty.
When he heard this, Mu Yuchen could only laugh quietly. Meanwhile, Zhou Zhenjun had already gotten up and strode forward as he said in a hurry, “Ah Chen, I’m going back now!” We’ll talk another day. Oh, tell your father that I’m going for a fis.h.i.+ng trip with your Uncle Su in Xiangshan this weekend morning, we decided on this the last time, tell him not to forget about it!”
When he finished speaking, Zhou Zhenjun’s figure had already disappeared in front of him.
…
It was already past 10 in the morning. The sunlight was very warm, and there was no summer heat. The autumn air was refres.h.i.+ng, and the large patch of gra.s.s in front of them had already turned a little yellow.
Mu Yuchen was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he laid down leisurely, took his phone, and dialed a number.
The number was Qi Lei’s.
When he received Mu Yuchen’s call, Qi lei had just finished bathing. The moment Dongfang Liuyun returned, Qi Lei immediately carried her back to the bedroom to sleep. At this moment, the house was very quiet.
“We’re telepathic, I was just about to call you.”
Qi Lei’s voice soon came from the other end.
“But it was still me who called you.”
Mu Yuchen’s soft laughter traveled over.
Qi Lei smiled as well. He raised his hand to his half-dried dark hair, then carefully closed the door and walked to the rooftop.
“I like talking to someone with high awareness like you, there’s no need to waste time.”
“I’ll take your compliment. Li Si told me about you.”
“You’re really well-informed. Don’t worry. He won’t die. I just came back from the hospital.”
Qi Lei took a deep breath and leaned against the cold railing. He held his forehead and continued, “I don’t have much hope for him, so I’m not feeling too much either.”
“I just called to ask about Aunty Liang’s situation. Aren’t you being too pessimistic? How can you guarantee that this time, it won’t be a new beginning? If Qi Qiming wakes up, can you accept him?” Mu Yuchen asked nonchalantly.
“I don’t know, but if he really does, there isn’t anything that I can’t let go of. At least, when I resent him, things aren’t any easier, perhaps it would be good for me to try feeling something new.”
As Qi Lei said this, a bitter smile hung on his lips, “Ah Chen, you don’t know how much I envy you. Growing up in a warm and harmonious family, you don’t have to face all these scheming and scheming. Although Lingtian has resentment in his heart, I know that he still respects you as his older brother. A person’s good character is related to his family’s education. As for me…”
At this point, Qi Lei suddenly took a deep breath and laughed bitterly, “I’m just like Liuyun. It’s all because of my bad luck. You don’t even have a choice when you’re born into such a family. If we had the chance to choose, we might not have been willing to choose such a family. It would have been good if we were like those ordinary families, as long as we don’t have to worry about food and clothing, all’s good.”
“Why do you say that? If you’re unlucky, would you be the Second Master of the Qi Family? Would you run into Xiaye, get to know me, and have Dongfang Liuyun?”
Mu Yuchen asked in a low voice.
Qi Lei sighed and could not help but take out his cigarette packet. He lit a cigarette and took a puff before frowning. “It seems like I’m not contented. When I spoke to Liuyun, I told her that I did feel satisfied and lucky.”
“You’re in love with Dongfang Liuyun, Qi Lei.”
Mu Yuchen’s voice was filled with certainty.
Qi Lei suddenly smiled and did not refute. “I can’t help it. Who asked me to marry her? I can only like her now. After all, she’s someone who’ll be with me for the rest of my life. It’s natural for me to like her. Aren’t you and Xiaye the same?”
“Forgive me for being honest. The road ahead of you is still very long. In fact, it’s probably much harder than me and Xiaye. Although I believe in relations.h.i.+ps, in my heart…”
“You have a rather pessimistic att.i.tude towards Liuyun and me, don’t you?”
Qi Lei puffed out his cigarette and calmly took over Mu Yuchen’s words.
“Yes.” Mu Yuchen answered without hiding anything.
“You answered so bluntly, it’d be nice if you said some encouraging words to me. You know about the Fujiwara incident, right?” Qi Lei asked.
“Mmm, besides that, I also know some things about the Dongfang family. It’s not great for the two of you.”
Mu Yuchen retracted his actions and replied quietly.
“Don’t worry. I know what to do. About the South River Project…”
“I’ll put in some effort. You stay busy with your things. If you need anything, just let me know. It’s the same with Su Chen and Zimo. They’re very concerned about you too.”
“Thank you. I know. Let’s get together soon. Things have been too busy recently, it’s been a while since we’ve gathered.”
Even though Qi Lei’s tone was calm, there was a hint of grat.i.tude in his dark eyes.
