Tong Nian'an was walking down the street in despair. Someone rushed out from the corner and hit her hard on the right shoulder. She covered her shoulder in pain. Before she could turn around, the person had already run away. She looked for her slowly.
She sat down in a flower bed, held the phone in her palm, and stared blankly at the quiet screen.
Four years later, Yin Jianmo's phone calls one after another at the airport seemed to be fresh in his mind. Tong Nian'an gritted his teeth and forced himself not to think about it again.
Tong Nian'an took a deep breath and stood up, and just as she was about to walk forward, her cell phone suddenly started ringing. She was startled and the cell phone fell to the ground with a "snap".
It was a call from the company. When Tong Nianan picked it up, she found out that something had happened to John at the company.
She hurried over and her blond colleague told her that John accidentally stepped down the steps and sprained his ankle. He was resting in the office at the moment. Tong Nianan pushed the door open and saw him stroking his ankle in pain.
"John." she called him.
He raised his head and still smiled at her: "You Chinese have a saying that is really true, people really have to obey their old age."
When she met him, he was 47 years old. Now four years later, he is already over fifty. Tong Nian'an stepped forward and sat down next to him: "You are not old at all."
In her heart, John is a good mentor and a close friend who is indispensable in her life.
John smiled and said, "I must apologize to you because I didn't consider your feelings. Since you don't want to go to China, as long as I go there in person, I won't worry about leaving this matter to others."
"What? But..."
Tong Nian'an was about to speak when he interrupted: "Ann, you don't have to persuade me, you know that my biggest wish in this life is for Naris to travel to every corner of the world. China is a huge market.
, I will not give up." He looked at her with a smile, his eyes firm.
...........
Along the way, Tong Nian'an was thinking about John's words. Doing her best for Naris was once her dream. After leaving J City, work was undoubtedly a very important thing in her life, but she really wanted to
Go back to China?
But if she doesn't go, then John insists on going. He is really not young anymore, not to mention he hurts his foot.
The door in front of her was pushed open easily, and the nanny came out with a smile and greeted her: "Miss Ann, are you back?"
The smile returned to Tong Nian'an's face. She changed her shoes and walked in. She nodded and asked, "Is she asleep?"
The nanny took her coat: "Yes, she has gone to bed."
Tong Nian'an walked towards the bedroom, and the nanny's voice came from behind: "You're back, so I'll leave first. Miss Ann, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow Maso." She opened the door carefully. The toys hanging from the ceiling were still shaking for me. The child was already asleep on the cute little bed. Tong Nian'an deliberately lowered her voice and went in. She slowly
He sat down by the bed and stared at the child on the bed.
That young and pretty little face looked even cuter under the yellow curly hair, and Tong Nian'an couldn't help but laugh. This was Enen's request to dye her hair yellow. She said she wanted to be like John.
Tong Nian'an leaned over and kissed the child's face, but Enen's big eyes opened at that moment: "Mommy."
Tong Nian'an was startled. Enen had already jumped up and hooked her neck, saying in familiar English: "Mommy, Maso took me to see Uncle John today."
Tong Nian'an frowned: "Really? When?"
"In the morning."
Tong Nian'an thought about it, and it seemed that she had something to go out at that time. She reached out and held her daughter in her arms, listening to her chattering about the happy times with John, Tong Nian'an smiled and said: "Okay, Mommy understands, you
This little rascal actually pretends to sleep, it’s getting late now, you should go to sleep.”
Enen kissed Tong Nianan's forehead, then smiled and closed her eyes.
When Tong Nian'an returned to the room, she was not sleepy at all. She sat on the bed until midnight, thinking about too many things.
...........
Two days later, at the French airport.
John walked ahead with Enen in his arms. Outside the terminal, he put down Enen and looked back at Tong Nian'an. Tong Nian'an had already pulled Enen over and scolded in a low voice: "Didn't Mommy tell you that Uncle John's foot was injured?
?Why do you want him to hug you?"
Enen clung to Tong Nian'an coquettishly, pouted and said, "Uncle John wanted to hug me!"
John smiled and said: "Ann, I'm very grateful that you finally decided to go to China on behalf of Nerys."
Tong Nian'an smiled a little reluctantly, and the person in front of him said: "Actually, there are some things that I hope you won't keep running away from. You have always been a brave person, and you have to face it when it's time to face it."
After passing the security check, Enen kept looking back at John. Tong Nianan took a deep breath, maybe John was right, and more importantly, she was going to Shanghai this time, not City J, and it was impossible to meet that person.
meet.
Enen looked up at her: "Mommy, aren't you happy?"
Tong Nian'an smiled quickly and said, "No, Mommy is not unhappy."
"En'en is very happy. En'en has never been on a plane! Mommy, let's go!" She held her hand with a smile and started to trot happily.
...........
John walked out of the airport, and the car was waiting outside. He got in the car, and the secretary sitting in the passenger seat turned around, frowned and said, "Why did the director pretend to be injured?"
John smiled heartily: "Because I want Ann to solve her own problems."
"What is it? Feelings?"
john nodded.
The secretary was very puzzled: "This kind of thing is the easiest to solve, why does the director still need to secretly help?"
John smiled and shook his head: "You don't understand. Eastern women are sometimes very traditional. They don't take the initiative like you. Haha, drive."
He and Tong Nian'an are close friends who talk about everything. Naturally, he also knows what happened between her and Mu Jingxi. He has never advised her in the past four years. This time, he is not lying. He just didn't tell Tong Nian'an.
Most of them are companies owned by Mohs.
As the car started to move, John looked back at the airport and smiled with satisfaction.
...........
Mozhuang.
Mu Jingdong stood at the door and knocked hard: "Xiao Bei, don't get up yet! Aren't you going to Shanghai today? Be careful if you are late, the old man will scold you!"
Mu Jingbei's lazy voice came from inside: "I know, I know."
Mu Jingdong couldn't believe it, so he simply opened the door and went in: "Get up quickly!"
Mu Jingbei chuckled: "Brother, don't be like this. If you are energetic, I won't mind handing over Otto to your management. Anyway, now you can manage both Hengji and Yusen as you please."
"Don't be playful with me!" Mu Jingdong took off the clothes from the rack and threw them on Mu Jingbei's head. After seeing Mu Jingbei sit up, Mu Jingdong turned around and left.
As soon as the door closed, Mu Jingbei lay down again and fell asleep.
Half an hour later, he heard the servant's voice calling "Third Young Master" from outside. Mu Jingbei jumped up from the bed with a "thump" sound. After thinking about it, he reached for the cell phone on the side and called Mu Jingxi.
Phone call: "Third brother, I feel very uncomfortable."
The door was quickly pushed open, and Mu Jingxi came in holding her cell phone: "What's wrong?"
Mu Jingbei lay on the bed with a sad face: "I seem to be sick, I feel so uncomfortable."
Mu Jingxi reached out and touched his forehead, then frowned: "I don't have a fever."
"Hey, I'm just feeling very uncomfortable!" Mu Jingbei covered his head, "But what should I do? I'm going to Shanghai today to discuss matters with France's Néris, and I'm worried to death. Otherwise..."
Mu Jingbei's eyes were exposed, and he looked at Mu Jingxi with a smile: "Third brother, look, you are the only one who has nothing to do at home, how about you go there for me?"
Seeing Mu Jingbei's treacherous look, Mu Jingxi smiled slightly: "You think I don't know what your plans are. I think the illness is fake, and the date is real!"
When Mu Jingbei saw that he had been exposed, he stopped hiding it. He simply sat up and begged him: "Now that you know it, you should help me. I am your biological brother. Can you bear to see me lose my life?"
Do you love me? Third brother, please help me! Last time I made an appointment with her, she had something to do and I couldn't go. If something happens again this time, I will die!"
Mu Jingxi frowned in thought.
Mu Jingbei took the opportunity to say: "You haven't touched the company's affairs for four years. If I don't touch you, won't you worry that your brain will get rusty? You see, you don't go out. You should go out to bask in the sun more. You have lost weight."
"If the old man finds out..."
"Third brother, are you afraid of the old man? Haha, don't be ridiculous. I know you are the least afraid of the old man. When something happens, you will block it for me, right?" Mu Jingbei said confidently.
Looking at him, since what happened four years ago, the old man has become more and more indulgent towards Mu Jingxi, but Mu Jingxi is also surprised that he suddenly becomes obedient, making Mu Jingbei have to pretend to be sick every time he wants to cross the line.
Pain. Mu Jingbei got up quickly, put on his coat, and said, "The car is waiting outside. You can just go out. Oh, by the way, all the information is also in the car. It's a three-hour drive."
That's enough for you to make up for on the road! Without further ado, third brother, I have to go, and you have to help me get it done!" He said, rushing up and kissing Mu Jingxi hard on the cheek.
Jingxi pushed him away in disgust, but he had already run out with a ghostly smile.
When Mu Jingxi arrived downstairs, the car was waiting in the yard. He opened the door and got in. The driver was surprised when he saw it was him: "Third Young Master? Why is it you?"
He said "Hmm" and said, "Drive."
The driver was a little frightened: "Isn't the fourth young master going to Shanghai? The old man said, you can't..."
"Drive." His voice was a little cold, and the driver couldn't help but tremble.
The driver came to Mozhuang just four years ago. He had only heard about the unruly temper of the third young master of the Mu family. Even Mr. Mo couldn't do anything to him. However, in the past four years, he has hardly been out of Mozhuang, even though
When he went out, he was accompanied by his brothers from the Mu family. As a driver, he had not had much contact with Mu Jingxi. The driver looked at him through the rearview mirror and saw that he had already picked up the information on one side and started reading it, with a calm expression. There seemed to be a sudden excitement in the car.
The child became cold, and Mu Jingxi felt a sense of distance that made it impossible to get close. The driver took a deep breath and started the car.
