Chapter 122 Relief

After getting into the car, Leila said to Robert, "I'm sorry. I have been dodging you these days. You must be tired."

Hearing what she said, Robert took a look at her from the rear view mirror and then smiled. "Nothing."

Leila nodded in agreement. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she fell into silence. After a pause, Robert asked, "Can you tell me why you've been avoiding me recently?"

Hearing his question, Leila pressed her lips and decided to tell him the truth.

"Because you were my senior when I was in college. The moment I saw you, I remembered myself at that time. I used to hate my present situation. But who could thought that I would become the person that I have hated most? "

Leila said lightly, with an obvious self mockery in her tone.

After a pause, Robert continued, "It seems to be my fault. I remind you of your past."

With a slight smile, Leila said, "You did nothing wrong. I was being too sentimental."

Robert answered, "If girls aren't sentimental, they won't be cute. But you don't have to blame yourself. I think you are in a good state now."

Leila raised her eyes in surprise. Whether he said this to comfort her or to tell her the truth, his words stimulated her courage to face her own emotions.

If she was really in a good state as he said, then Leila didn't have to hide from Robert anymore.

"You are different from those women by the side of Mr. Mu."

Leila had heard it from many people, but she still felt a little different when it was said by Robert.

Leila didn't say anything to response.

"Therefore, don't look down upon yourself. All you have achieved is on your own, and no one has helped you to get where you are today. So stick to it."

Robert's words were full of sincerity. Hearing that, Leila gave a clear and pure smile lightly, just like what she did in the university, "Okay, thank you."

Robert smiled and didn't reply. Although they didn't talk much on the way, they were not as stiff as they were several days ago. The atmosphere in the air became gentle. These two persons made their way to the farm.

Before stepping into the gate of the farm, Leila saw Maria sitting on the steps and looking at the flowers and plants in front of her.

"I'm coming."

Said Leila. Maria looked at her and said, "You came here so early."

Leila answered helplessly, "The press conference will be held tomorrow. I am worried a lot at the apartment. I am afraid that something may happen at the farm, so I come here to have a look."

The only thing that could make people feel at ease was that they did it themselves. Therefore, Leila prepared to stay at the farm for the whole day.

"Speaking of this, Mr. Mu has also come here today."

Hearing Maria's words, Leila was a little surprised. She thought she came early enough today. And now it was only seven o'clock, so it meant six o'clock in the morning or even at five o'clock, Max has come here?

Yet time wasn’t Leila’s main concern. Now that Max has come once, he would look through the farm. If there was something wrong with the farm, he would inform her immediately, but she didn't get the news, which meant he has acknowledged her perfection.

Like getting the answer of the big question on the examination paper, Leila felt relieved now. The corners of her mouth were upward, which indicated her happiness.

"Did he say anything?"

Leila asked this question. Maria shook her head, then she said, "No, he didn't.

When Spencer said this, his tone was very calm, as if he was not unhappy because Max hung up his phone, Matt appreciated the magnanimity of Spencer and then he was dissatisfied with Max's attitude. After all, Spencer was his younger brother. Although Spencer has been living outside for several years, he was still related to blood. It could not be changed in any case. Now that Spencer has returned to the Mu Family, he was still a member of the Mu Family.

All the performance of Max did not show that he did not accept Spencer. It was the first time that Max had taken such an action. Therefore, Matt was a little unhappy.

"But you don't need to worry, father. He will be back soon,"

Said Spencer, who has observed the facial expression of Matt. Spencer knew that it was because of his one sentence that made Matt have opinions on Max. Spencer smiled unfathomably.

Matt nodded and sat on the sofa, waiting for Max to come back.

It was not until in the afternoon that Max returned to the Mu Family's private house. Naturally, it aroused the dissatisfaction of Matt again. Matt has made a call in the morning, and Spencer said that Max would come back soon, yet Max made him wait for a whole day. Max has never had such an attitude before. Was it because of the returning of Spencer so that the behavior of Max has changed?

"Why do you come back so late?"

Matt said openly. Hearing that, Max took a look at him and said, "I'm hindered by the company's affairs."

Speaking of the company, the expression on Spencer who was standing beside has changed. Although Spencer has been approved by Senior Mr. Mu to come back to the Mu Family, Matt still did not allow him to take over the Mu Group. It was just a nominal recognition.

Max's gaze swept across Spencer indifferently, but the latter could not help but pause. Although it was only for a moment, Spencer felt a warning from Max’s gaze.

Spencer snorted in disdain and ignored it.

Although he has not taken over the Mu Group, Spencer believed that as long as he maintained his current attitude, Senior Mr. Mu would soon completely lay down his guard.

"Elder brother, you might not have had lunch, right? We have prepared lunch for you. Come and have lunch with us."

Spencer said excitedly. Max replied indifferently, "I've had lunch."
