Chapter 23: Look at your performance
Wen Yan fell to the ground and took a breath of cold air. Just as he was about to get up from the ground, a pair of high-quality custom leather shoes appeared in his eyes. Mu Tingchen's cold voice came from the top of his head: "I'll give you two minutes."
She looked up at his deep eyes and tentatively tentatively: "Can you... let them go?"
She didn't notice the fleeting disappointment in his eyes. What he wanted to hear was not this: "If you catch up with me so desperately, just want to say this, it's a waste of my time."
After saying that, Mu Tingchen turned around without hesitation, and the noise of Dali closing the car door was scared Chen Nuo trembled: "Help me cancel the return ticket next week, and I will take over the foreign branch myself."
Chen Nuo hesitated a little: "Young master... If this happens, you won't be able to come back for at least three years... Do you really want to cancel it?"
He leaned against the seat and closed his eyes, his thin lips pursed into an unhappy arc: "If you ask me to do it, go do it!"
Wen Yan stood there without leaving until the car disappeared without a trace. She had not yet come back to her senses, and her heart seemed to be hollowed out. She had a premonition that from now on, she really had nothing...
Three years later, the Commercial Building of the Muslim Branch in Washington.
A sudden ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang in the huge conference room. Everyone held their breath and looked carefully at the cold man on the main seat.
The assistant beside him whispered: "Mr. Mu, it's your phone number."
The man's eyes sank: "Have it off." This meeting is very important, and he is a little dissatisfied with his assistant's 'ignorance'.
The assistant explained with a thorn intent: "It was the wife who called it..."
Mrs……
Of course he knew who his wife was, his wife, Wen Yan.
Mu Tingchen took the phone from his assistant: "The meeting is temporarily over, and it will be changed to 4 pm, and the meeting will be terminated."
Everyone sighed. The boss, who has always put business first, actually postponed such an important meeting because of a call from his wife...
After walking out of the conference room, Mu Tingchen answered the phone. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you busy? I... I have something to look for you..."
Wen Yan was still so cautious when he spoke. He was curious about what the first call she called in three years: "Say."
"Yaoyao is about to get engaged. She and her fiancé want to return to China to develop. Can you let her come back?" Wen Yan was a little nervous.
Three years ago, Chen Mengyao and Shen Jie were sent abroad and ordered not to come back in their lives.
She knew that this was Mu Tingchen's punishment for her, and she never dared to say too much. However, after three years, Chen Mengyao rarely begs her, so she made the phone call with a tough bullet.
Mu Tingchen paused slightly, his face darkened a little. She actually found him for such a thing...
Wen Yan was a little panicked when he didn't hear his response: "I was going to that party myself, and it had nothing to do with Yaoyao. There was no need to take your anger on her. You have been abroad for three years. Can't you let them go? I beg you..."
Mu Tingchen suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "I will return to China in three days, and it depends on your performance." After that, he hung up the phone and kicked it on the wall of the corridor.
The assistant behind him was so scared that his face looked like a mortal, and he didn't dare to get too close to him.
Wen Yan stared at the screen of his phone for a long time before he came to his senses. Is he going back to his country?
He left in a hurry three years ago, and never came back since then. She thought he would never want to see her again in his life.
After finally digesting this matter, Wen Yan felt more nervous than when he called just now, so he quickly got up and went downstairs: "Ma Liu, please clean the whole house in the past two days..."
Liu Ma was a little surprised because she had never cared about these things: "What's wrong with Yanyan?"
Wen Yan couldn't say whether he was happy or afraid: "He... is coming back."
Liu Ma was stunned for a while, and then realized who she was referring to, and smiled and said, "Really? The young master is coming back? That's great. You haven't been together for three years. Just come back. I'll be cleaning these two days, don't worry."
When she returned to the room, Wen Yan packed up all the messy manuscripts in the room. She worked in a fashion design company and had just become a regular employee. She was busy and the house was messy. Liu Ma didn't know which manuscripts she wanted, and she didn't dare to clean up. Mu Tingchen came back, and she didn't want him to see her sloppy side.
...
On the day Mu Tingchen came back, she specifically asked Butler Lin about his flight time and went to the airport early to wait.
When he left it was snowing in winter, and when he came back... During this period, she felt like she was dreaming, and it was fleeting in the blink of an eye.
Among the crowds of people, she could see the outstanding tall figure at a glance, just like three years ago, with great attention and full of energy.
Just when she saw the woman holding his arm clearly, she was stunned. He didn't come back alone...
When Mu Tingchen and the woman approached, Wen Yan heard their words: "Brother Tingchen, would you please accompany me in the hotel tonight? Am I scared alone..."
"Let's talk about it." His answer was deserted, but with rare patience.
Wen Yan had the urge to escape in panic. But just a second before she turned around, Mu Tingchen's eyes fell on her, without any surprise or any other emotion, and asked lightly: "Why are you here?"
Wen Yan was a little helpless, and his words seemed to be saying that she was redundant: "I...I..."
She couldn't speak. Even if she wanted to say that she was here to pick up her friends, it was just a lie that could be easily exposed by him. She had no friends around her at all.
Mu Tingchen ignored her and said softly to the woman beside him: "You go to the hotel first and be obedient."
The woman is very young, full of youthfulness, white fur and playful high-heeled boots, and her every frown and smile is so attractive. Her youthful and lively body is completely opposite to Wen Yan's gloom.
The woman glanced at Wen Yan curiously: "Okay, then you are here to accompany her tonight."
Mu Tingchen curled his lips and waited for the woman to walk away through the crowd before he regained his indifference and walked out.
Wen Yan followed him silently, and Chen Nuo was waiting outside. After getting in the car, no one spoke.
She was not qualified to ask who the woman was, and he would not explain.
When she was about to arrive at Mu's house, she asked, "When will Yaoyao come back?"
Mu Tingchen's attention was on his phone, and his slender fingers were moving on the screen, replying to the message, the woman's message.
"I said it depends on your performance." A hint of impatientness appeared between his eyebrows, as if he was disgusted with saying something to her.
She didn't dare to ask again, and she was habitually silent.
Until dinner, Mu Tingchen was still responding to the message with his cell phone. Wen Yan had no appetite and put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites: "I... I'm going to work overtime tonight, so I'll leave first."
She didn't want to be annoying, nor did she want to be a stumbling block for him to find that woman.
"Stop!" But before she could leave, her voice came from her ears.
Wen Yan raised his eyes and met his cold and unhappy gaze.
