Chapter 292: 100 General Mu’s demanded compensation (1)_6

Qin Mu was about to meet with a client when he heard this and couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m currently short of hands here, and my client has just arrived, so let her help you out for today. If she’s not suitable, come find me again, and we can talk more when we have time to meet."

"I think you’re being particularly irrational!"

Wen Runuan added another word before hanging up the phone.

Qin Mu knew that he was indeed not as rational as some people, but it shouldn’t be that bad.

At the very least, he had always known what he wanted, and in the eyes of his partners, he was calm and restrained. Yes, they also thought he was particularly rational.

Qin Mu couldn’t help but smile lightly, "I understand what you mean, but doesn’t her willingness to candidly talk to you about her past also prove she can’t be all that bad?"

"But aren’t you afraid this could be nurturing a tiger only to court calamity?"

"Firstly, I’m very happy that you’re so concerned about me. Runuan, if you truly consider me a friend, can you trust me?"

He asked softly, seriously asking this after feeling that Wen Runuan’s relationship with him wasn’t just a typical utilitarian one.

"All right! I won’t disturb you further. We’ll talk another time when we’re free."

Wen Runuan hung up the phone, feeling helpless. She indeed didn’t trust that girl outside, but she trusted Qin Mu, even though it was risky.

Qin Mu took the clients to the factory for a tour; after which they went out to have a meal together, and in the evening, upon returning home and just after stepping out of his car, he received a call from Xiaomei saying they had returned to Paris and checked into the hospital.

"You take good care of him for now. I’ll be on the flight that leaves tomorrow afternoon at four."

Qin Mu said to her as he closed the car door and walked towards the house.

"Qinqin, in truth, you know I don’t find it a burden."

At that moment, Qin Mu’s brisk steps suddenly stopped when he heard Xiaomei’s voice tremble, sensing that Xiaomei perhaps didn’t want him to rush over.

No, that must be an illusion. How could Xiaomei not want him to go? After all, it’s better to have two people watching over than just one. Moreover, Jian Yan was his mentor; he absolutely must be there at such a critical moment. Otherwise, if nothing goes wrong, that’s fine, but if something does, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Feng Fanghua was having tea with Mu Zihao when they heard footsteps. Feng Fanghua gave Mu Zihao a look and glanced at the woman walking in with her head bowed.

"Dad, Mom, I’m back!"

Qin Mu looked up to see the two elders in the sitting room drinking tea, one with downward gaze and the other with a sharp look in his eye.

Qin Mu knew that Feng Fanghua was concerned about her trip to Paris, but she was going to go regardless, so she took the initiative to sit down by the sofa, "Dad, Mom, I still need to tell you that I’ve bought the tickets to Paris for both Huanhuan and myself."

"You..."

"Just go. As teacher and student, if nothing unexpected happens, it’s all good. If something does happen and we stop you tonight, would you never forgive us, would you never forgive yourself? Go, take Huanhuan with you."

Feng Fanghua was about to argue when Mu Zihao looked up with a composure and responded like this.

Feng Fanghua turned her head in disbelief looking at her husband. Before Qin Mu came back, they had agreed upon what to say, but in a blink of an eye, he had changed his stance.

The lights in the living room were still warm. Mu Zihao’s eyebrows moved slightly while looking at his wife, and simultaneously placed his hands on her interlocked ones. That comforting gesture seemed simple, but it quieted down Feng Fanghua, who was fuming inside, and she turned away in anger to look elsewhere.

Qin Mu finally realized that for Feng Fanghua, Mu Zihao’s opinion weighed more heavily than that of her own children, evidenced by how Feng Fanghua was now biting her tongue for Mu Zihao’s sake.

"It’s getting late. Go get some rest. Your mother and I are still waiting to watch a program later."

"Oh! All right! Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom!"

Qin Mu stood up but did not forget to express his gratitude, of course not just to Mu Zihao, he couldn’t exclude Feng Fanghua.

"I don’t agree with this!"

Feng Fanghua was no longer as harsh as before but made her stance clear.

"I’ll make the decision at home. You go and rest!"

Startled, Qin Mu stood still for a few seconds before quickly walking away.

Fearing that Feng Fanghua would call her back, she started taking quicker steps as she began to ascend the stairs.

After Qin Mu went upstairs, Feng Fanghua then turned to look at Mu Zihao, pulling her hand out of his palm with a very serious expression.

"Do you realize what you’re doing? In the end, she’s just a girl in her early twenties, looking after a forty-year-old man, and they share such a close relationship. If word gets out, no one will think it’s just a plain teacher-student relationship regardless of whose ears it reaches, not to mention Jian Yan being such a talented individual."
