Chapter 1245: Chapter 347: Don’t Come Any Closer_4
"Are you talking about that girl Lu Fei? That’s impossible, right? She’s always been quite well-mannered."
The old man snorted coldly after hearing this: "Don’t believe it? If you don’t believe it, come with me to take a look at the surveillance in my granddaughter-in-law’s store and see what that girl did with bodyguards in tow. Not only did she lose your family’s heirloom ring and blame it on my granddaughter-in-law, but what she did afterward, is that something a decent person would do? Well-mannered? That must be all an act!"
"I really didn’t know about this. Please allow me to ask around. If such a thing really happened, I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Call your son, that boy was there yesterday afternoon too."
"What? Yang Bo was also there?"
Yang Bo’s father was so startled that he jumped, he really hadn’t expected things to be so lively.
The old man sat in his office for a while, and after making his stance clear, he went downstairs, escorted personally by Yang Bo’s father. Once back in the car, the old man called his grandson: "Grandson, I have smoothed that matter over for you!"
"Thanks! I owe you one!"
Mu Yichen answered the call and said to him.
"Just remember it! That Yang Bo boy by your side owes me a much bigger favor than you do!"
"Got it!"
After hanging up, the old man thought for a moment: "Take me to the Jing Family, that old fart caused me to fall ill in Paris, I haven’t even confronted him yet. Today, I’ll settle old and new scores together."
The driver then drove to the Jing Family.
Meanwhile, in Mu Yichen’s office, Yang Bo and Qiao Yi were still drinking tea. Mu Yichen sat in a single sofa with his teacup, looking at Yang Bo beside him: "Our old man said you owe him a big favor, remember that well."
"Yes! I will never forget his kindness."
Yang Bo nodded, very seriously, so serious that it seemed insincere.
Qiao Yi couldn’t help but laugh: "So you just ditched that woman? She’s from a family of generals, even if she’s a bit temperamental, so what? Look at today’s society, which woman doesn’t have a temper?"
"Are you saying your wife has a big temper too?"
Yang Bo glanced at him and laughed after asking.
Qiao Yi immediately furrowed his brows in fear: "Talking about others, why bring my wife into this? She’s fine, even if she has a bit of a temper, I can handle it."
Qiao Yi spoke as if he were a manly man who could handle anything.
But it made those who heard it want to laugh.
"You’re relying on the fact that Xi Meng isn’t outside the door, aren’t you? Should we call her up and ask who calls the shots at home?"
Yang Bo joked, not forgetting that when Xi Meng was seven or eight months pregnant, they had all arranged to meet Qiao Yi. Then, when everyone was gathered, Qiao Yi suddenly called saying he couldn’t come. They heard the sound of a bowl smashing over the phone.
Actually, Xi Meng had accidentally dropped a bowl of soup she was carrying from the kitchen, but since then, Qiao Yi has been labeled as someone afraid of his wife. Everyone thought Xi Meng intentionally smashed the bowl, and the more Qiao Yi explained, the less clear it became.
"Even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I couldn’t clear my name. But do you really think Xi Meng is that fierce? Think about it, when she’s sitting outside, when has she ever spoken loudly?"
Qiao Yi pointed outside as he spoke to the two of them.
"So, you mean she only speaks loudly at home?"
Yang Bo frowned, completely clueless about women.
Qiao Yi...
Mu Yichen couldn’t help but laugh: "Let’s not dwell on this; if we continue, old Qiao might want to jump into the river."
"Let’s just turn the page on this. No one is allowed to bring it up again. Officer Yang, now that your big trouble is solved, aren’t you going to treat us tonight?"
Qiao Yi hadn’t attended a gathering with the guys for a while, but recently, he had some free time and the mood for it.
"No problem! Tonight at AM, the usual private room, call Zhao Huai and the rest, tell those younger ones to come along too. Some of them have been stirring up trouble in the city recently, and it’d be a good chance for me to give them a lesson."
Yang Bo was quite happy with the idea and felt concerned about those younger than them. Lately, they had been causing trouble in the city; everyone said it’s not so much like relatives, but there was a hint of affection, so he wanted to use the opportunity to educate them.
Mu Yichen originally didn’t want to go, but hearing that Yang Bo wanted to educate the kids, he raised his eyes slightly, then said calmly: "You guys go ahead, I’ll pick up the tab!"
"You’re not going?"
Qiao Yi turned to look at him.
"I won’t go! Qin Mu just got back, it’s not appropriate for me to go out."
Mu Yichen said, as if he were a faithful and upright man.
Qiao Yi and Yang Bo were not quite pleased and glanced at him, and Yang Bo couldn’t help but tease: "You should take care of your body; if you push it too much, and you can’t make it, do you want us to find another man for Xiaomu?"
"Exactly! If you spoil her now and can’t support her later, what then?"
Qiao Yi started speaking more absurdly.
"Even if none of you make it, it won’t be my turn."
Mu Yichen’s confidence soared.
Qiao Yi couldn’t help but frown at him, as if he were about to punch Mu Yichen.
Yang Bo also couldn’t quite control himself, drumming his hands on the sofa armrest, squinting slightly, half-smiling: "Yichen, brother, I don’t even have a woman yet, don’t jinx me like that!"
Mu Yichen raised his eyes: "Then, since today’s weather is nice, hurry up and find one." After speaking, he looked down, holding his phone to text Qin Mu: "Lunch together?"
Qin Mu: "No, I’ve already arranged to have lunch with my partners at the nearby restaurant. Don’t come over, we agreed not to bring any family members!"
"Got it! The food at your studio is terrible! Qiao Yi and I will eat at the office building’s ’canteen’!"
After sending the text, Mu Yichen glanced outside; the rain had stopped, and it was sunny in the morning. The ground was still wet and wasn’t warm at all, quite refreshing.
——
At noon, Wu Jiaojiao and Lu Fei had agreed to have lunch at the AM Chinese restaurant. They laughed and walked toward a window seat, but were stopped by a waiter when they sat down.
"Ladies, I’m sorry, but this seat has been reserved."
"Who reserved it? It’s almost twelve and they haven’t come; are you sure they’re still coming to dine?"
Already in a foul mood because of yesterday’s events, Lu Fei finally felt a little better because Wu Jiaojiao gave her a Chanel bag. She picked up her mood and came out to treat Wu Jiaojiao to lunch, only to run into this situation, and she was instantly displeased.
