C189 Father and Daughter Talking about Heart
"Dad, after last night's car accident, you were already in a coma, and you still have to go to a social event. I just got a little bruise on my face. It's nothing. I want to read. " Mu Qingqing was moved. What Mu Anren did last night wasn't just for the job, but for the future of the whole family.
His obsession with work, his dedication to work, was also worth her study.
Mu Anren's expression changed a little, "You, you don't blame Dad?"
"That's nothing strange. You did it for the whole family."
A cool breeze caressed the back of her hand, bringing a touch of coolness with it.
"You need to change the medicine for your head injury. Dad didn't do the discharge procedures, so you still have to go back to the hospital." Mu Anren was still worried about the injuries on Mu Qingqing's face.
"How about this, I'll go change the medicine after my evening self-study." Mu Qingqing took a step back. She just changed the medicine and didn't stay in the hospital.
"The hospital is close to the school. If you change to medicine tonight, you can still stay there. If you need anything, I'll inform Aunt Qiong." Mu Anren couldn't bear to see his daughter being chased around like that.
"I'm not going to the hospital, I think I'll go home and sleep a little." Mu Qingqing played with the hair behind her ear. God knows how annoying Zhan Yufei was when he was in front of her everyday.
"It's already so late. Father won't be able to relax while we're walking." Aa Qi and Aa Jiu were both rebuked by Mu Qingqing. Walking alone at night, she was prone to encounter dangers. A girl's home was completely different from a boy's.
"Then, alright." Compared to staying in the hospital, Mu Qingqing didn't want Aa Qi and Aa Jiu to come back.
"You used to it at school?" Mu Anren had specially taken the time to visit her today. On the way here, he thought, if Mu Qingqing lived alone at Zhaoxi City, would she live well?
"I'm used to it." Mu Qingqing said calmly.
"As expected of my daughter. Victory is not a good thing, defeat is not a bad thing, your father is proud of you." Mu Anren was a bit emotional. Mu Qingqing's personality was still the same as' she '. She had a cold personality and treated people warmly. She had her own perseverance in her bones.
"Dad, I need to go back to class. You should go home and take a good rest." Mu Qingqing knew he was driving because he was tired, so she looked at him with a pained expression.
"Yes." Mu Anren stopped her. It's rare for me to have free time today. Your teacher and I will take a leave and take you on a tour around the city. "
"No need." Mu Qingqing subconsciously wanted to reject him. Yesterday, she was supposed to be having dinner with two of the Mo family's elders, but because Mu Anren was drunk and she was injured, this matter was put on hold. Her first thought was that Mu Anren wanted to take her to the Mo family.
Mu Anren looked at her in confusion.
"No, dad, I still need to study myself tonight. I will be giving lessons in the afternoon, and if I fail, I won't be able to keep up." Mu Qingqing explained hurriedly, using this as an excuse that was a bit far-fetched.
Seeing that she was unwilling and also that she loved studying, Mu Anren could only try his best to persuade her: "Daughter, don't turn yourself into a learning machine. You should still relax when you need to."
Wasn't he a machine for work? Mu Qingqing didn't dare to say these words out loud.
"Dad, I know." Mu Qingqing nodded her head in confusion.
"According to your homeroom teacher, you are now first in your grade and first in the entire school. Daddy wants you to be a good student, but not a nerd. " Mu Anren was a little worried, afraid that Mu Qingqing would only want to study and neglect her happiness.
"Let's go out and relax. It's been a long time since I last chatted with Qing Qing." He wanted to talk to his daughter. He wanted to understand Mu Qingqing's thoughts.
It wasn't a good idea to decline, so Mu Qingqing could only nod in agreement.
In the evening, Mu Anren took her to the 24th floor of Jingyu Mansion, the building with the highest Zhaoxi City.
Sunset, from the platform of the twenty-fourth floor, one could see the scenery of the Zhaoxi City city, the direction of the river, and the gathering of people.
The waiter handed her the menu. Mu Qingqing flipped through the pages.
"Nine parts cooked steak, fruit salad, secret lamb chops." This was Mu Qingqing's order. She closed the book and looked at the place where the sky met the city.
"Qingqing, have you been here before?" When Mu Anren was in A City, he never took her to such a place.
"Nope." Mu Qingqing immediately denied it. Only then did she feel that she had been too relaxed. She seemed to be too familiar with the way she had ordered the dishes.
She was indeed very familiar with this place because Zhan Yufei had brought her here before.
So far, this building had the highest level of Zhaoxi City, and also the place with the most panoramic view. It wasn't strange that she had come here before.
Mu Anren was puzzled. Mu Qingqing was too familiar with ordering dishes. Could it be that this girl didn't study well at school and wanted to come out to play? He immediately rejected this idea, since Mu Qingqing's results couldn't be fake.
"These few dishes look alright, what's the matter, dad?" Mu Qingqing added on in time to dispel the doubt in Mu Anren's heart.
Mu Anren relaxed his mind, "Dad hasn't been to this place for almost ten years. At that time, this place is still a dilapidated brick wall. Oh right, the construction here and your grandfather's credit for it."
He ordered a five o'clock steak and two drinks. He drank the sweet orange juice and savored the bitter taste.
Mu Qingqing stared at him in a daze. She had thoroughly seen all the scenes in his mind.
The half-collapsed wall surrounded a gray brick building. The road next to the house was littered with garbage and sewage. The environment was extremely dirty. This was the complete opposite of the bustling scene that they were seeing right now.
"Such a huge change." Mu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh as she stirred the juice in her glass. Later on in his previous life, he heard from Mu Xiaoyou and the others that after the reconstruction of the building, there were more than a hundred floors. The building was still the tallest one in the city center of Zhaoxi City.
As the night gradually approached, Mu Qingqing saw the lights in the houses starting to light up. At this moment, she was at a loss.
The steak and salad were on the table. Mu Qingqing was about to move her knife and fork, but Mu Anren stopped her in time.
"Wait a moment, Daddy has already arranged to meet you, Uncle Mo, and Aunt Ren. Let's wait for them to come before we move."
"What?"
Mu Qingqing was momentarily stunned. "Dad, when did this happen?" Why didn't you tell me? "
"The appointment was made at noon, and they're almost there." Mu Anren turned around and looked at the clock hanging behind the bar.
Mu Qingqing came back to her senses. She seemed to have thought of something as she stared at the big dining table. Five plates of steak were arranged neatly on the table. So... She was sold?
No wonder why Mu Anren asked for a five, Mu Qingqing realized that she had misheard! He was clearly talking about five servings of steak!
It was useless to be confused now. Mu Qingqing rubbed her eyes and intentionally closed her eyes to look at the surroundings of the building. Good boy, Mo Liming and Ren Xinru have already reached the 19th floor!
Furthermore, Mo Xiaohe also came along!
Who could tell her that the father and daughter that Mu Anren said he would treat the Mo family to a meal? She had thought that Mu Anren was kind-hearted enough to bring her here to reason.
Only then did Mu Qingqing realize that her thoughts were too simple.
Mo Xiaohe's appearance was an eye-catching sight as he was wearing a clean suit. Most of the women in the restaurant saw his handsome figure, his steady steps, and his overweeningly handsome face. With the exception of Mu Qingqing, who was drinking fruit juice with her head down, she turned a blind eye.
"Old Mo, sister-in-law, sit." Mu Anren greeted with a smile and made a gesture of "please".
"There's no need to be so polite. You and Liming have been comrades for so many years. Don't worry about that." Lili smiled and sat down gracefully in the chair that Mo Liming had pulled open.
Mo Xiaohe was sitting next to Mu Qingqing with one hand on the table, looking bored.
Ren Xinru's gaze was always on Mu Qingqing's head. When she saw the fruit juice in front of her, her expression became slightly patient.
"Qing Qing, here's a toast to you, Uncle Mo, and Aunt Ren. Uncle Mo and Aunt Ren are quite worried about you studying over here." Mu Anren also took up his own cup and had the waiter open two bottles of red wine.
"Anren, there's no need to talk about this between us." Mo Liming pushed Mu Qingqing's cup back and indicated for her to sit down.
"Brother Mu, don't blame me for talking too much. Qing Qing was injured because of her. Didn't the doctor say that she can't drink cold?" Seeing that Mu Qingqing wanted to drink the juice, Ren Xinru stopped her.
Mu Anren patted his head and said regretfully, "Qing Qing, stop drinking."0
"Look at me …" As expected, a man's rough nerves were not as meticulous as a woman. Only then did Mu Anren realize that Mu Qingqing was drinking fruit juice.
"I'll drink warm milk." Mu Qingqing promptly got out of the predicament and saw that Mu Anren was stunned. He didn't know what to give Mu Qingqing to drink or what to eat.
"Anren, are you really so sure that your child is here alone?" Mo Liming couldn't help but look at him in confusion. Logically speaking, he and Su Cuiyun had a good relationship.
"The three children in the family are the most relieving. A good grade, a decisive person. I didn't even put in too much thought. " Mu Anren understood Mo Liming's meaning, and still felt that he was too disinterested in the child.
"Brother Mu, your family's Qing Qing likes this child from the bottom of my heart. This time, she was injured in a car accident. Ren Xinru had received a report from Aa Qi and Aa Jiu. Su Cuiyun had treated those two children fairly well, so why did she have to be so biased towards Mu Qingqing?
Mu Anren looked a little awkward, "There are two children to look after at home, she can't let go."
"Oh, Xinru, what do you want to eat?" Mo Liming handed the menu to Ren Xinru. This wasn't a question their family was supposed to ask.
Ren Xinru still wanted to say something, but when her eyes touched the menu that Mo Liming passed to her, she could only bear with it.
"This contract will be ready by next week, Anren. You have to do it well." Mo Liming changed the subject and talked to Mu Anren about his work.
"Old Mo, don't worry. I have always been strict with matters of quality. It won't be beneficial to me if the list is broken." Mu Anren continued and was secretly grateful.
Mu Qingqing's gaze was fixated on the iron plate in front of her, trying to make a hole in the steak.
