President's Brand

Chapter 219

There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and Ling He stared at her with a smile, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart, he tried his best to keep himself calm, but he didn't want to add to the embarrassment of each other, even though he was like friends with her like this He will feel throbbing in his heart and feel satisfied when chatting with each other. This kind of natural emotion cannot be deceived!

"Mu Mu, I should ask you to meet earlier, it's just what happened between you some time ago, I'm afraid you will be sad, and I don't want to cause you any unnecessary trouble!" Looking at her expression carefully, seeing her really His brows relaxed, and Ling He's tightly held heart also slowly let go.

"I understand!" Touching the rim of the cup with his fingers, Xi Mu smiled, moved by his concern.Since the breakup at the top of the mountain, this meeting was considered the most formal meeting between him and her. Looking at the man with the same brows and eyes on the other side, staring at his still warm eyes, she couldn't help but feel emotional.Those ignorant emotions in the past are really calm now, without any waves.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little cold, with a touch of melancholy.

Looking at the light flickering in his eyes, Xi Mu could only return a polite smile, nothing else.

Those jet-black eyes were as pure as water, sparkling with light, but there was no shadow of him reflected in those pure eyes.Ling He lowered his head and staggered her eyes, but the moment he lowered his head, he saw the diamond ring on her ring finger.

Once in that position, she also wore the pairing ring between him and her, but things changed, and in the end she couldn't keep it, and could only watch her slip through her fingers.

Sudden soreness welled up in his eyes, Ling He lowered his head sadly, his five fingers tightened slightly, forcing himself not to look away, not to touch the pain in his heart.

On the dining table, there was only the sharp sound of knives and forks sliding by, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly, and both ate in silence.

This condensed atmosphere made people feel oppressed, Xi Mu cut up the steak on the plate, but never put it in his mouth.She didn't speak because she had nothing to say. When she looked at him, she would always bring back fragments of the past. Those buried deep past events had already been buried, so they shouldn't be missed.

The man on the opposite side was eating the steak elegantly, his handsome face curled up with a faint smile, handsome and graceful.Ling He has kept his head down and said nothing, but he has already seen her expression, but he doesn't want to reveal it, he just wants to enjoy this kind of peace and tranquility, even if it's just being alone with her indifferently like this, it's good!
For this meal, the two had their own thoughts.

Ling He finished his lunch first, and then waited quietly for her. After watching her put down the knife and fork, he politely took out his wallet to pay the bill.Reaching out to find the waiter, he took out the wallet from his pocket, but he didn't want to bring out anything, it fell to the ground with a "slap", and bounced to her feet.

Seeing that something fell out of him, Xi Mu lifted the tablecloth, looked down and saw the lighter at her feet, bent down, reached out to hook the silver lighter, held it in her hand and straightened up.

Xi Mu picked up the thing in her hand and looked at it against the sunlight. When she saw the lighter clearly, her face sank and her fingers tightened unconsciously.

"Is this lighter yours?" Xi Mu held the lighter in his hand and said in a low voice.

Ling He took out his bank card and handed it to the waiter, then turned to look at her, smiled lightly, and said casually: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Taking the lighter in her hand and looking at it repeatedly, Xi Mu was a little surprised. Why is this lighter exactly the same as the one she found among her father's belongings?
"Do you like this lighter?" Seeing her holding on to the lighter, Ling He immediately laughed softly, "This is a gift from my grandfather, otherwise I will give it to you!"

After hearing his words, Xi Mu's expression changed suddenly, she raised her head, looked at him straight and asked, "Are you the only one with this lighter?"

Seeing that she was interested, Ling He didn't think too much about it, but said in a deep voice, "This lighter is custom-made by grandpa, big brother has one, and I have one!"

There was a buzzing sound in his head, Xi Mu's face changed a few times, many questions piled up in his head, his father and Ling Xuan didn't know each other at all, how could the lighter be on his father's body?

"Ling He, does your elder brother have an English name?" Xi Mu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the English name engraved on the lighter, he still asked a question, for fear of making a mistake.

Ling He looked at her suspiciously, feeling puzzled by her question, but after thinking about it, he still told her, "eli."

"Mu Mu, what's the matter?" Seeing her face change suddenly, Ling He frowned and asked him, faintly aware that something seemed wrong.

Taking a deep breath secretly, something flashed in Xi Mu's mind, she returned the lighter to him with a smile, and said perfunctorily: "It's nothing, just ask."

After taking the lighter and putting it in his pocket, Ling He smiled slightly when he saw that her expression was normal. Although he felt strange, he didn't find any problem, so he didn't investigate further.

Coming out of the western restaurant, Xi Mu became confused.That lighter belongs to Ling Xuan?But he and his father had never met before, how could that lighter be among his father's belongings?And I heard from Ling He that the lighter was given to them both by his grandfather, it should be a very precious thing, it should be carefully treasured, how could it be exposed so easily?

What is the connection between father and Ling Xuan?She couldn't even think of a connection between the two people she didn't know before.Suddenly aware of something strange, Xi Mu couldn't help wondering, is there something she doesn't know about?
I can't help but think back to the video I saw in the abandoned warehouse that time. It was the video of my father's death. Someone deliberately told her the cause of his father's death. What is the purpose?And who is the man behind the murder of his father?She had always suspected that it was Qiao Jing before, but now that Ling Xuan was involved, is there any connection between him and his father's death?
With many doubts in her heart, Xi Mu immediately got into the car and told the driver to go home. She was puzzled and eager to find out the ins and outs of the matter.If Qiao Xiyao was told, would his mother be involved?Thinking of this, Xi Mu hesitated again in her heart. Now their relationship is harmonious, so she doesn't want these things to destroy their hard-won relationship.
