The man's gentle voice passed her ears, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Much better, thank you," Ning Qianyu lowered her face, wishing she could find a hole to bury herself in to hide her embarrassment.
"Ye Xi pass me the brown sugar water and food. I'll go heat them up," As he spoke, the man lifted off the blanket and stood up while Ning Qianyu continued to play dead.
Letting Young Master Mu found out such embarrassing thing, she really did not feel like living anymore!
Not long later, the door was opened again. Mu Shengchen came in with a bowl in his hand.
"Drink it all!"
Ning Qianyu's face reddened and when she took the glass from his hand, her fingers accidentally touched his, lifting their gazes and stared into each other's eyes profoundly.
Ning Qianyu slightly lowered her head, avoiding his eyes as she finished the brown sugar water in one gulp.
Seeing that her face was pale, even her rosy lips had lost their color and turned pale, Mu Shengchen took the empty glass from her with an indifferent face, placing it on the table beside her.
"Let's go to the hospital!"
"No need," Ning Qianyu grabbed Mu Shengchen's arm.
He looked at her face then to her arm.
"I'll be fine after two days, there's no need to go to the hospital," Go to the hospital because of my menstruation? It would probably become the hottest news in City A.
She did not let go of his arm, not noticing that Mu Shengchen's expensive coat had become wrinkled.
Mu Shengchen pursed his lips slightly as he asked, "Do you want to eat something?"
Ning Qianyu shook her head, not saying a word.
"Rest well then, I'll leave first," Mu Shengchen's cold gaze fell on Ning Qianyu's hand, which was still holding onto his arm. She immediately let go of his hand, feeling relief at the same time.
With the friction sound of the wheelchair rubbing against the floor, Mu Shengchen left the room.
As for Ning Qianyu, she slowly leaned against the bed, with Mu Shengchen kept on appearing in her mind.
The indifferent, angry, gentle and awkward Mu Shengchen…
The next evening, at the Mu Family Courtyard.
The long dining table in the Mu Family Courtyard had never been so full before. Everyone from the Mu Family was present, without an empty seat.
Old Madam Mu and Mu Zhenghong were sitting at the middle seats, on the left and right were Weng Bisa and another middle-aged man with narrow eyes. He was Mu Shengchen's uncle, and beside him were Mu Shengchen's aunt and Mu Jinbo.
"Today I've invited all of you to come to the courtyard because there are three things I'd like to announce," Mu Zhenghong glanced at everyone and slowly spoke.
Everyone stared at each other, feeling somewhat apprehensive.
"The first thing is that Mu Shengchen and Ning Qianyu's marriage has been recognized by the Mu Family. Therefore, I don't want to hear any more nonsense regarding this matter."
Everyone secretly glanced at Mu Shengchen and Ning Qianyu, not daring to say a word.
Mu Zhenghong seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's attitude. He then took out a document from his briefcase and pushed it towards Mu Shengchen, "Second, since Mu Shengchen is already married, he should have a job. This is an offer letter for the Mu's Sales Department's manager position."
Except for Old Lady Mu, everyone else was shocked beyond belief.
Everyone was more or less aware of what happened three years ago, not expecting Mu Zhenghong to still pass such an important position to Mu Shengchen.
Upon hearing Mu Zhenghong's suggestion that Mu Shengchen would be brought back into the company, Weng Bisa could no longer maintain her perfect stepmother image, and retorted, "Zhenghong, you clearly knew that three years ago, he was the one who leaked the company's secrets, and caused huge losses to the company. Why did you still make Shengchen the sales manager again?"
When she mentioned the incident from three years ago, everyone's face sunk. She then looked at Mu Zhenghong with hesitation. It was obvious that she had an objection to Mu Zhenghong bringing Mu Shengchen back into the company.
Mu Jinbo rolled his eyes and smiled, "Dad, Big Brother hasn't been involved in the company's affairs for so many years now, so he probably doesn't know anything about the company. If you suddenly make him a sales manager, not only us, even the other employees in the company will…"
Before Mu Jinbo could finish his words, Mu Zhenghong sternly said with a cold face, "Today, I announced this matter in front of everyone is not to discuss but to inform all of you. I'm the founder of Mu's group, I've got the right to hire whoever I want."
Since he had already said that, what else could they say? One by one, their opinions were all rejected.
Mu Shengchen remained expressionless, did not even spare a glance at the document.
Only Ning Qianyu knew how Mu Shengchen was feeling because he held her hand so tightly that it hurt her. She did not exactly know what was going on, but she knew how distressed the man beside her was.
Seeing that no one objected, Mu Zhenghong took out another document from his briefcase.
This time, he did not open it, but only placed it under his palm, "Shengchen has already gotten married. I'll give him the 10% shares that belong to him."
With this, everyone became even more thrilled than before.
Weng Bisa immediately showed her true colors. She had worked so hard in this family for so many years, yet she only had 5% of the shares. This cripple was given 10% of the shares just because he got married? "Zhenghong, this isn't fair at all."
"Big brother, this isn't appropriate," Mu Zhengsheng, who was sitting opposite him also followed up with a glint in his eyes.
Mu Lingshan glanced at Old Madam Mu and pursed her lips, refusing to make a comment. Mu Jinbo clenched his fists but remained silent too. However, one could see his hatred from his gloomy eyes.
He was not even a shareholder of the Mu's group after so much hard work, but why did that cripple has it?
Mu Zhenghong put on an indifferent face and said unhappily, "I will give him the 10% from my 30% share, do you guys have any objections?"
"Zhenghong, Shengchen is not your only son, Jinbo is your son too. You've given Shengchen 10% of the shares, then how about Jinbo?" Weng Bisa asked Mu Zhenghong.
"Qianyu, it's getting late. We should leave," Mu Shengchen took Ning Qianyu's hand and calmly interrupted their argument.
"Alright," Ning Qianyu lifted the corner of her lips and smile, bowing towards everyone before pushing Mu Shengchen out.
Looking at their back from afar, everyone who was sitting at the table had their own thoughts.
After leaving the Mu Family courtyard, Ye Xi's car was already waiting outside.
"Young Master Chen!" Ye Xi opened the car door and said.
"En!" Mu Shengchen answered indifferently. Ning Qianyu, who was beside him, wanted to help him get on the car, but he reached out his hand and pushed her away.
"Ye Xi, head to City B." At this moment, Ning Qianyu could feel as if Mu Shengchen's entire body was covered with spikes not allowing anyone to get close to him and the cold aura he emitted filled the entire car. He did not even spare a glance at Ning Qianyu, seemed like his mood had worsened...
Ning Qianyu was stupefied at her position, not knowing what to do.
Ye Xi approached Mu Shengchen and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Chen, what about Miss Ning?"
