Even when Mu Zhenming was calm, he still looked a bit scary.
Mu Qichu and Mu Qilian saw him.
Mu Qilian immediately trembled inside. “Dad knows?”
Mu Qichu’s face was cold. “I don’t know, but probably not, since he is talking to Uncle Song.”
Then his eyes turned on them.
They could only guess that Qiao Jin had done something to catch the attention of the Song family.
But Qiao Jin looked innocent as she walked over to the table to try some of the cakes. “Qichu, which cake is the most delicious?”
Mu Qichu was silent.
Mu Qilian was, too.
She was remarkably carefree. In the Mu family, they were all most afraid of their father’s unhappy face because it meant that something bad was bound to happen.
Once the Song family dinner officially began, Song Yanqing showed up. He piqued everyone’s attention, and all the wealthy socialites couldn’t help but fawn all over him.
He thanked everyone for coming to the birthday dinner, but he didn’t say much else.
Then he retreated again.
That was what the birthday party meant to him. All he had to do was simply thank them for coming.
After the banquet finished, everyone departed one after another. Mu Zhenming’s face fell once he got in the car.
Qiao Fei was a little worried. “What’s wrong, husband?”
Mu Zhenming’s eyes locked on Qiao Jin, and Qiao Fei glanced at her daughter, who was sitting in the passenger seat behind her. “What’s wrong with Xiao Jin?”
Qiao Jin preempted his answer, saying slowly, “Zhenming, you are the chairman of a large company. You can’t just look at things from the surface level. You have to calm down. If you have any problems, you can talk about them tomorrow.”
Mu Zhenming was speechless.
He was the high and mighty chairman of a company, but he had been given a lecture right on the spot.
Mu Qilian couldn’t help but admit that Qiao Jin was truly brazen.
Despite Qiao Fei’s presence, Mu Zhenming couldn’t help but sneer. “It seems that you already know what you did.”
Qiao Fei was worried. “What did Xiao Jin do?”
Qiao Jin sat up straight and confessed. “I went to find Song Yanqing.”
Qiao Fei was stunned.
She resisted the urge to scream.
Even Mu Qichu and Mu Qilian cast astonished glances at Qiao Jin.
Restraining herself, Qiao Fei spoke in a trembling tone. “You…you…what did you do?”
Qiao Jin said, “We just reminisced about old times.”
Everyone in the Mu family looked at her.
What old times did she and Song Yanqing have to reminiscence about?
Since they were in the car, Mu Zhenming didn’t lose his temper, but when he got home, he said to Qiao Fei, “I’m not qualified to take care of her, so you better take care of her!”
Qiao Fei wanted to shed tears but remained silent.
What could she do?
When the Mu brothers saw their father losing his temper, they tactfully refrained from asking the reason and went back to their respective rooms.
Qiao Fei looked at Qiao Jin with teary eyes. “Xiao Jin…”
Before she finished her sentence, Qiao waved her hand dismissively. “It’s okay, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Feifei, go rest. Go and comfort Zhenming, and don’t let him lose his temper. He’s almost fifty, so he has to pay attention to his body.”
Qiao Fei had no response.
So turns out you know, too!!
Still, she was mild-tempered, so she dared not press the issue with Qiao Jin, who wasn’t in her right mind.
Everyone in the Mu family was upset. At 12:30, in the middle of the night, the phone rang out in the Mu family’s house.
Mu Zhenming picked up an urgent call from the Song family.
The call was made by the Song family’s bodyguard, who spoke in a flustered tone with some respectful restraint. “Mr. Mu, can you bring your daughter, Qiao Jin, to the Song family’s hospital?”
Mu Zhenming didn’t know why, but since it was the Song family, he asked the servant to find Qiao Jin.
When the servant went to look for her, however, Qiao Jin had already changed into a casual outfit and headed straight out.
Wondering what had happened in the Song family, Mu Zhenming couldn’t sleep at all, and Qiao Fei woke up as well.
