When the banquet was halfway through, Nianmu went to the bathroom.
In the bathroom cubicle, she happened to hear two women outside talking about herself.
"Tell me, who was the woman who walked into the banquet hall with Mu Shaoling and led two children? I remember that his wife doesn't look like this." A woman asked.
"So it's really not her wife? I thought I remembered it wrong, so who is this woman?"
"Mu Shaoling's wife is still abroad, and there is no news of her messing around. Who knows who that woman is, anyway, she is obedient. Maybe she is that kind of woman."
"What kind of woman?"
"Just mistress, isn't it normal for such an excellent man as Mu Shaoling to have mistress by his side?"
"Shouldn't it be, Xiaosan dares to show her face on such an occasion? Even if she dared, Mu Shaoling wouldn't dare to bring her here, isn't she afraid of angering the old man?"
"I said yes, but you saw how close those two children were to that woman. I heard Cai Xiufen say that she didn't know the identity of this woman, but she refused to say anything more, for fear that the old man would find out about it. Scold her."
"That's hard to say. Let's go. This Mu family is really complicated. I thought Mu Shaoling was a rare and good man. The police in Mei County are actually like this."
"There are no men who don't steal, they just haven't been discovered by us, let's go, let's go out."
Standing in the cubicle, Nian Mu listened to the two women talking about themselves, and shook his head helplessly. Cai Xiufen really did not hesitate to damage the reputation of the Mu family to make irresponsible remarks to others.
She walked out of the cubicle, washed her hands, and left the bathroom.
When walking back to the banquet hall, many people were still looking at him, Nianmu ignored them and walked back to his seat.
Just when Nianmu left to go to the bathroom, the people at the same table immediately asked Ruan Manwei and Zhou Qing to inquire about Nianmu's identity, so they both knew how these people saw Nianmu now.
Ruan Manwei held Nian Mu's hand, felt the coldness of her palm, frowned and asked in concern, "Are you all right?"
Nianmu shook his head, indicating that he was fine, picked up his chopsticks, and continued to pick up vegetables.
After the banquet, Nian Mu wanted to take a taxi to leave, but Uncle Zhang came over and whispered beside her: "Miss Nian, the young master has an order, please don't leave here, if you feel bored and tired, You can go to the lounge to rest for a while, and then send you back after he finishes seeing off the guests."
Nian Mu was speechless. He wanted to sneak away by himself while Mu Shaoling was not paying attention, but the man's movements were faster than his own...
She just nodded to show that she knew.
Ruan Manwei's eyes flashed when he heard the conversation between the two, but in the end he didn't say anything. He patted Nianmu's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Nian, I'm going back first. I'll keep in touch. Come to my house when I'm free. Have a meal."
"Okay, I see." Nian Mu waved at her.
After delivering Mu Shaoling's instructions, Uncle Zhang left. After a while, he came over with the three children.
Taotao first lay on her lap and asked, "Sister, haven't you left yet? Why don't you come with us?"
Nian Mu shook his head and said, "No need, I'll leave after people have dispersed, it's getting late, you guys go back quickly."
Seeing this, Taotao couldn't bear to let her sit here alone, and insisted: "No, sister, you can go back with us, and let Uncle Zhang drive you back."
Zhan Zhan looked at his younger brother as if he wanted to rely on their mother, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Sister must be picked up, brother, let's go."
With that said, he took Taotao's hand and left.
Taotao looked back at Nianmu reluctantly, and only complained after leaving the hotel with Uncle Zhang and getting into the car, "Brother, why didn't you let sister sit in our car."
"Stupid brother." Zhan Zhan looked at his younger brother with a face full of hatred, and reminded: "My sister must be sitting there, my father must have ordered something, maybe let my sister sit there, and my father will see you off later." Send her home after the guests are done."
"Really?" Taotao didn't believe it.
Zhan Zhan looked at Uncle Zhang and said, "Uncle Zhang, tell me, is this an arrangement by Dad?"
He just saw their father give some instructions to Uncle Zhang, and after a while, Uncle Zhang walked over to their mother.
"Yes, Master Zhan Zhan, your father will indeed send Ms. Nian back later, please don't worry." Uncle Zhang said.
Taotao let out an "oh", knowing that Nianmu was being escorted, so she fell silent.
the other side.
After Mu Shaoling sent off a few mortal guests, he walked to Nian Mu's side. At this moment, only the waiters left in the banquet hall to clean up the tables.
He looked at Nian Mu who was sitting there scrolling through his mobile phone, and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, a few guests who drank a lot said something more, let's go, I'll take you back."
Nian Mu nodded, expressing his understanding.
After all, the people at this banquet are all relatives or cooperative with the Mu family.
But no matter what kind of relationship it is, there are not many opportunities to see Mu Shaoling, so it is normal for them to seize this opportunity and exchange a few more pleasantries with Mu Shaoling.
She stood up and left with him.
Walking out of the hotel, the night wind blew, Nianmu was unprepared and couldn't help shivering.
Mu Shaoling noticed, took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.
Nian Mu was about to refuse, saying that he was not cold, but he heard him say in a low voice: "Put on, don't catch a cold."
"I'm not that fragile." Nianmu said, still covering his coat.
There was his breath on the jacket, as well as his temperature, no matter how cold the night wind was, she didn't seem to feel anything at the moment.
"Don't catch a cold. You will officially return to work at T Group tomorrow. The company needs you to work at your best." Mu Shaoling said, walking towards the parking lot.
Nian Mu heard that his concern seemed to come from work.
She always feels that something is wrong, but it seems that everything is quite right and there is nothing wrong with it.
The two walked to the side of the car side by side. Nianmu waited for him to unlock the car door, and before he could help him open the car door, he opened the car door and sat on it nimbly.
Mu Shaoling noticed her movements, as if he was afraid that those gentlemanly movements he made would disturb her, his gaze could not help but be deep.
In the past, the relationship between the two was so close, but at this moment, she couldn't wait to distance herself.
If it hadn't been for not doing anything excessive all this time, Mu Shaoling would have thought that he had really done something to hurt him inadvertently, making her avoid him like a snake and a scorpion.
Seeing the passenger's door close, Mu Shaoling kept a secret face, sat in the driver's seat and drove, but finally said nothing.
