Chapter 125 You Are Just My Partner

Mu Qingjiu ruffled Mu Qingci's hair and comforted her, "Mom has been in a bad mood recently, so you should bear with her."

Mu Qingci bit her lip. "Even if you are in a bad mood, you can't lose your temper with me. It's not me who caused trouble for Mom and made her worry all day long."

Mu Qingjiu interrupted her, "Okay, go back to your room and apply some medicine, I'll talk to mom."

Mu Qingci glanced at Tang Ning's sullen face and felt dissatisfied, but she didn't go against him in the end. She stomped her feet on the spot and returned to her room in a bad mood.

After Mu Qingci returned to her room, Mu Qingjiu restrained the expression on his face and called out respectfully, "Mother."

Tangning glanced at him calmly, "Have you always been blaming me? I put you on the edge of the group. You have been so outstanding since you were a child, but I just don't recognize you?"

Mu Qingjiu smiled, "Mother has her reasons for arranging everything this way. I have never blamed her."

"Do you really think so?"

Mu Qingjiu still smiled, "Of course. If it weren't for my mother and father taking me out of the orphanage, I would have become the most ordinary person among the masses, making a living in some unknown corner. But it is because my father and mother brought me back that I became the eldest son of the Mu family, the richest family in Ningcheng, and have the glory and aura I have today. For so long, I am very grateful to my father and mother."

After hearing these words, Tangning felt a little relieved. After a while, she asked,
"What do you think of Celadon?"

Mu Qingjiu paused for a moment and said, "She has a bit of a young lady's temper, but it's harmless."

Tangning stood up from the sofa, patted his shoulder, and said meaningfully, "You should know that this is not what I meant."

The expression on Mu Qingjiu's face remained unchanged. "I guess what mother means. Please give me your instructions."

"Okay." Tangning was too lazy to continue beating around the bush. "I want to ask you, do you like her?"

"Of course I like it."

After finishing speaking, she added, "After all, she is the younger sister who has watched her grow up since she was a child."

"You can tell she likes you."

"It's no big deal if a sister likes her brother."

"You treat her as your sister, but she may not treat you as her brother."

At this point, Tangning's tone suddenly became heavier.

Mu Qingjiu seemed very frightened. "Mother is blaming me for getting too close to Qingci. I will be more careful in the future and will never go beyond that."

Tangning stopped him.

"I mean, since she likes you so much and you like her too, why don't you marry her?"

Mu Qingjiu seemed to be shocked. He looked at Tangning in disbelief, "This..."

"Are you hesitant?"

"She is my sister who I have watched grow up. Suddenly, you want me to marry her. Is this not appropriate? More importantly, Qingci may not be willing. Do I need to ask her opinion on this matter?"

Mu Qingjiu seemed to be in a very difficult situation.

"Well, since you don't want to, let's talk about this another time."

"Thank you for your help, mother."

Mu Qingjiu seemed to be relieved, but when he lowered his eyes, there was a dark look in his eyes, and he was thinking about something.

Does Tang Ning really want him to marry Mu Qingci, or is this just a test for him?

Tangning seemed a little tired and waved her hand at him, "Go and deal with the compensation that Xiao Nanxin asked for."

Mu Qingjiu picked up a piece of the fragment, glanced at it casually, and pursed his lips slightly, "This is not an antique. At most, it's just a slightly more expensive vase."

Tangning said, "I know. Xiao Nanxin did it on purpose. Qingci went to Xinghuang and caused such a scene. She is looking for an excuse to settle the score. This money is nothing to the Mu family. There is no need to make enemies with Xiao Nanxin."

After all, Xiao Nanxin represents the Xiao family.

The Xiao family and the Quan family have a close relationship.

Mu Qingjiu threw the fragments into the box and lowered his eyes slightly, "Son understands."

Just as he was about to leave, Tangning called him back, "Stop!" Mu Qingjiu stopped and looked back at Tangning, still respectfully, "Mother, do you have any other instructions?"

"You should have heard about Wen Ruoci and Quan Shijin being together, right?"

"know."

"Is there any way to separate the two of them completely?"

As long as Quan Shijin is with Wen Ruoci, she will never have peace.

It was like there was a sharp sword hanging over her head, and if she wasn't careful, the sword would stab her.

Mu Qingjiu frowned, "This..."

Tangning looked at him sharply, "You can't do it? Who once swore that you could do anything I asked for?"

Mu Qingjiu hesitated for a moment, "Son, I have a way, but I'm afraid mother won't agree."

"You talk first. After you finish speaking, I will consider whether I am willing to use it."

Mu Qingjiu paused slightly, but still walked over and whispered something in her ear.

After listening to him, Tangning looked at him with a half-smile, "I really didn't misjudge you."

"You will report to the General Manager's Office tomorrow."

"Yes."

From beginning to end, Mu Qingjiu had a respectful look on his face and there was no sign of any disturbance.

........................

Xiao Nanxin didn't expect that the Mu family would give the money so readily.

She waved her hand and generously invited Wen Ruoci, Li Fei and Ji Yao to dinner.

After all, this was money earned through deception, and she was embarrassed to keep it all to herself.

Jiangyue Tower.

Halfway through the meal, Wen Ruoci went to the bathroom, but unexpectedly met Mu Qingjiu when she came out.

She glanced at him calmly and was about to ignore him, but Mu Qingjiu took the initiative to speak, "Tangning is willing to give me the power. I have already joined the General Manager's Office. I should be able to get the things soon."

Wen Ruoci paused and said slowly, "Congratulations."

After saying that, he brushed past her and prepared to pass by.

Before she could even take a step, she heard Mu Qingjiu say, "Tangning said she hopes I will marry Mu Qingci. What do you think?"

Wen Ruoci paused and looked back at him, seemingly puzzled, "Why are you asking me?"

"I just want to know, if I really marry Mu Qingci, would you mind?"

Wen Ruoci frowned.

"This is your private matter, why should I mind? We are just partners."

The man just looked at her like this, his sight was like a big net, densely covering her face, unable to escape, he did not miss a single expression on her face, "What if Quan Shijin? What if he wants to marry someone else? Would you mind?"

Wen Ruoci's face was slightly unhappy. "You are just my partner, and he is my lover. There is no comparison between you two. Also, I told you not to come to me before you get the things."

After saying that, he left.

Looking at her back, Mu Qingjiu thought lightly.

She once said that they would only have each other, and he firmly believed so.

But she married He Ci and now she is in love with Quan Shijin.

Since she can marry He Ci and fall in love with Quan Shijin, why can't she like him and marry him?
