Chapter 42 The Prodigal Son Returns Home

With a "click" sound, the closed wooden door suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman in her fifties with white hair on her temples appeared, with a suspicious look on her face.

"What are you doing, young man? You opened the wrong door!"

When she caught her eye, she saw a very familiar young man holding a key to the door lock of her house. Chen Huizhu asked with a wary look:

"Mom, we haven't seen each other for only a month, and you don't even recognize your own son?" Li Mu looked at his mother with a dumbfounded look:

"Xiao Mu? Are you Xiao Mu? Why are you so thin? Oh my God! Are you sick?" Chen Huizhu's eyes bulged and she almost dropped to the ground.

Her son Li Mu used to be a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms, but now he is as thin as skin and bones. The gap between the front and back is too big. If it weren't for the familiar face and the familiar "Mom", Chen Huizhu would not dare to recognize that the person in front of her is him.

son.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm not sick. I lost weight by taking diet pills!" Li Mu put his hand on his mother's shoulder and comforted her:

"real?"

After hearing what Li Mu said, Chen Huizhu's uneasy mood gradually calmed down. She looked at Li Mu up and down, frowned, and said unhappily: "Did you lose weight by eating Qingzhiling? Why have you lost so much weight? You look too thin like this."

!”

"It's okay! Isn't Mom's shop busy? Why are you back so early today?" Li Mu quickly changed the subject:

"Busy, why aren't you busy? Don't you want to come back? I'll come back early to do... Who is this girl? Is she your girlfriend?" Chen Huizhu said halfway, her eyes fell on Xu Yating who was standing behind Li Mu, her eyes shining brightly.

ask:

"Hello, Auntie, I am Mr. Li's secretary - Xu Yating!" Xu Yating blushed slightly and quickly greeted herself. I introduced and clarified:

Not a girlfriend, but a secretary?

Isn't my boy just a salesman who drinks wine? When will the company provide secretaries to salesmen? Chen Huizhu's eyes widened, a little disappointed and a little surprised.

"Mr. Li? Secretary? Brat, don't be so playful, what are you doing?" Chen Huizhu patted Li Mu's hand on her shoulder and scolded with a dark face:

"Can you let us into the house first? Let's talk about it later." Li Mu helplessly withdrew his hands and said:

"That's right, Yating, come in quickly and don't stand at the door!" Chen Huizhu greeted enthusiastically, and then blamed Li Mu: "You brat, you didn't tell me in advance when you brought the guests home, so I was not prepared at all."

"Mom, there is nothing to prepare. Yating is not an outsider." Li Mu entered the room, sat down on the sofa, and looked at Xu Yating: "Yating, you can do whatever you want. You are welcome!"

"Okay, Mr. Li!" Xu Yating responded weakly:

"You brat, how can you treat a girl like this? No wonder you don't have a girlfriend yet." Chen Huizhu scolded Li Mu:

Xu Yating covered her mouth and giggled. She didn't expect that Li Mu had such no status in the family and would be scolded at every turn. It was very different from the image she had before.

"Mom, can you save some face? My subordinate is here, and the boss's majesty makes you lose your mind." Li Mu said helplessly:

"Just you! Can you still show your dignity as the boss?" Chen Huizhu glanced at Li Mu with disdain, then came back to her senses and asked, "What's going on? Hurry up and tell the truth!"

A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Yating's eyes. Didn't his family know about Li Mu's company?

"Mom, I accidentally got a secret recipe for weight loss pills, quit my job, and now I have opened my own company!" Li Mu explained:

"What, you quit your job? And you started a company by yourself? No, close the company quickly! Why open a company if you don't work hard! If it goes bankrupt, your dad and I won't have the money for you to fill the hole!" Chen Huizhu couldn't think of anything else.

If you don’t want to, just send it directly:

Chen Huizhu knew exactly what her little boy was capable of. She had never dreamed of starting a company and becoming a boss to reach the pinnacle of life, becoming rich and famous. She only hoped that Li Mu would be safe, work hard, and marry a virtuous wife as soon as possible.

Just holding a grandson.

"Mom, you are looking through the cracks in the door! I don't need to ask for money from my family to open a company!" Li Mu rolled his eyes and retorted with some lack of confidence. In fact, when there was financial difficulty, his first thought was

He reached out to his family. Fortunately, the weight-loss drug responded well and he was able to overcome the difficulty in time.

"You can't do it without family money. Anyone who speculates in stocks, starts a business, or believes that the price of a house will drop is a fool! Mom doesn't want you to be a fool! Shut down the company quickly!" Chen Huizhu said with a dark face, pouring cold water:

"Auntie! Mr. Li's company is doing very well! If it is shut down, the losses will be huge?" Seeing that Li Mu was in trouble, Xu Yating quickly spoke up to help:

"Yes, Mom, you are too unreasonable. Aren't you trying to make Yating lose her job?" Li Mu chuckled, looked at Xu Yating's alliance and said:

Xu Yating gave Li Mu a look. She didn't expect that he would take advantage of her good intentions to help. It was so shameless!

How long has it been since Li Mu resigned and started a company? In less than a month, he hired such a beautiful secretary. In Chen Huizhu's opinion, it would be a matter of time before the company closed down.

"Well... Yating! My boy's company will close down sooner or later, so you should find another job. It's better to find one sooner rather than later. It will be easy for a beautiful and capable girl like you to find another job!" Chen Huizhu said earnestly.

Di said to Xu Yating:

"Okay, Auntie!" Xu Yating glanced at Li Mu proudly and said with a sweet smile:

Li Mu couldn't help but feel angry about it, and would pour cold water on him. How could there be such a mother? Now even the personal secretary has switched sides.

"Mom, I'll talk to Dad about the company when he comes back. We have guests coming at home later! Let's get ready first!" Li Mu sighed and quickly changed the subject:

"Guests? What guests? How many people are there? Do you want me to buy some more food?" Chen Huizhu asked over and over again:

"I don't know how many people there are! Just prepare some fruits. They probably won't stay for dinner!" Li Mu frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said:

"How do you do things like this kid? You don't even know how many customers are coming! How can you open a company with such a casual temperament? Close your crappy company immediately and go to work!" Chen Huizhu scolded Li Mu with a dark face.

, after saying that, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen, and soon he came out carrying a shopping bag.

"I'm going to buy some vegetables and fruits, and you can cook more!" Chen Huizhu told Li Mu, and then looked at Xu Yating and apologized: "Xiaoting, you're welcome, just treat yourself as your own aunt and go to the supermarket!"

"Okay!" Xu Yating responded obediently and watched Chen Huizhu leave in a hurry.

Chen Huizhu, carrying shopping bags, had just walked out of the gate of the community when she saw a row of black motorcade driving into their community with extraordinary momentum.

Chen Huizhu paused and watched the convoy enter the gate of the community. She curiously asked the old security guard at the community booth, "Uncle Lin, who is marrying their daughter in our community! This convoy is really impressive!"
