Chapter 44

In view of this, Wen Su developed a little affection for the woman in front of him.

She also returned a polite smile: "Oh, it's Mrs. Zhang, of course I remember you!"

Wen Su didn't continue talking, but looked at Zhang Ruyan with a smile in her eyes.Now that the marriage between the Wen family and the Lin family had broken up, she couldn't figure out why Zhang Ruyan was looking for her.

Zhang Ruyan also counted, and quickly said: "To tell you the truth, Mrs. Wen, I came to you today to ask about the marriage. I don't know if Mr. Lin has a partner?"

Wen Su smiled: "Not yet. I searched for several houses, but something went wrong. I'm still looking for it. Does Mrs. Zhang have any good girls to introduce to me?"

Wen Su did not lie, this is also something that Mr. Lin has been having a headache recently.I don't know what's going on, but I had my eyes on three girls before, but I didn't expect one of them to be pregnant before marriage, and the other changed her engagement temporarily, and hooked up with another big guy.As for the last one, he went abroad to study directly behind his family's back, and now he can't catch him back.

Mr. Lin wondered if this was Lin Mu's tricks, but after thinking about it, he still didn't think his grandson would be so capable. Lin Mu also behaved well recently, so Mr. Lin relaxed his vigilance towards him.

No matter what the matter is, Mr. Lin has no time to think about it. His mind is now on finding a suitable grandson-in-law for his grandson.But after working for a long time, the bamboo basket was empty, so he hurriedly assigned the task to Lin Zhongguo and Wen Su.After all, Wensu has more daughters' families that she can get in touch with, so Wensu has been getting annoyed to death recently.

The appearance of Zhang Ruyan can be said to be a timely help, but Wen Su doesn't want to find a daughter-in-law with poor quality.Although she didn't expect the daughter-in-law who came out of the marriage to win the favor of her son, as long as she didn't cause trouble for the Lin family.As the saying goes, when you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person. Wen Su was taught by everyone, so he is naturally well versed in this truth.

Zhang Ruyan said happily: "Mrs. Wen, my daughter Wen Ruoqing, do you want to meet?"

Wen Su pondered for a few seconds. Although she was a little curious about why the names of Wen Ruoqing and Wen Ruoxi were so similar, under the current situation, it was more important to find a daughter of an official family earlier to stabilize Lin Mu.Thinking of this, she nodded with a smile and said, "In that case, Mrs. Zhang, where is Miss Wen now?"

Zhang Ruyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Wen, please follow me."

Wen Ruoqing was standing by the side drinking boredly, but she was very nervous. She wanted to see how her mother and Lin Mu's mother were talking, but she was afraid that she would be rude.I could only secretly glance at Lin Mu while in a daze, to pass the time.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruyan and Wen Su talked quickly, and it can be said that they hit it off immediately.When they came over, Wen Ruoqing was still peeking at Lin Mu, but she didn't realize that the two had already walked over.

Zhang Ruyan's complexion suddenly became very ugly. In her opinion, it was because her daughter lost her sense of proportion. Wen Su would not be satisfied without the upbringing of a lady.She screamed in her heart, but she was the first to warn: "Ruoqing!"

Wen Ruoqing was taken aback, and just about to explode, she saw a middle-aged beautiful woman beside her mother.With her toes, she knew that this must be Lin Mu's mother. Of course, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on him.The anger on his face suddenly turned into coquettish anger: "Mom, you came back so fast! Who is this?"

The thoughts in Wen Su's heart are completely different from Zhang Ruyan's. She really likes the feeling that other people's daughters are obsessed with her own son. Seeing Wen Ruoqing like this, she is very satisfied with her.

"Hi, I'm Lin Mu's mother, you can call me Aunt Wen."

Wen Ruoqing smiled shyly. Since Zhang Ruyan brought the other party here, it is very likely that the other party has basically agreed to the marriage. What she needs to do now is to try her best to make a good impression in front of the other party.

"Aunt Wen, hello, I'm Wen Ruoqing."

The polite answer won Wen Su's further favor. Looking at this girl's shy appearance and her well-behaved performance, it seems that marrying the Wen family is also a good thing.It is said that Zhang Ruyan still maintains a close relationship with the Zhang family, and it is also a good choice to use Wen Ruoqing to form an alliance with the Zhang family.

The more Wen Su watched, the more satisfied she was, and she asked Wen Ruoqing some more questions, then pulled Zhang Ruyan away, leaving only the anxious Wen Ruoqing.

Zhang Ruyan couldn't hold it in her heart, because Wen Su didn't show her satisfaction.She could only ask nervously, "Mrs. Wen, do you see my daughter?"

"I think it's not bad, but we have to go back and see what our old man thinks about whether this thing can be done." Wen Su was calm on the surface, but he was happy in his heart. confessed.

Although Zhang Ruyan didn't get a definite answer, but hearing what Wen Su said, she knew that the other party had a good impression of her daughter.That being the case, the matter is half done, so how can she not be overjoyed?

"Wen Tai, thank you so much!"

Seeing Zhang Ruyan's undisguised joy, Wen Su smiled faintly: "Mrs. Zhang, I will ask the old man for instructions when I get back, and I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow night at the latest."

There is no reason for Zhang Ruyan not to agree, she smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, don't worry, Mrs. Wen, this matter is really troublesome for you."

Seeing Zhang Ruyan being so knowledgeable, Wen Su was also happy in her heart: "Well, this is also my son's marriage. Mrs. Zhang, I will call my old man now, so I won't bother you."

Mrs. Zhang said goodbye to Wen Su with a smile, and couldn't help but go back to tell Wen Ruoqing the good news.

"Dad, I just found a family of married girls, do you remember? It's the Wen family I talked to our family at first."

"Oh? Didn't you say that you couldn't get married for some reason?" Mr. Lin was playing chess with his son Lin Zhongguo leisurely at home while answering the phone.

"I've inquired before. That Wen Ruoqing had a boyfriend at that time, but now it seems that they may have broken up. I looked at Miss Wen today, and I think she's not bad, she has a cute personality and good looks. Beautiful, although the family background is a bit poor, but if the Zhang family is willing to help, it will be a good marriage."

Wen Su praised, although she also felt that her inference was a bit hasty, but the top priority now is to let Lin Mu return to the family instead of fooling around outside.As for the character of this daughter-in-law, I will naturally have time to investigate in the future.

When Mr. Lin saw that Wen Su had said this, he first had a good impression of Miss Wen's family who had not met yet.In that case, he said to Wen Su on the other side of the phone: "Since you are satisfied, let's settle it for now and meet tomorrow night."

Wen Su smiled and said: "Okay, I will inform the Wen family right away."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Su breathed a sigh of relief, now it's all over, her daughter-in-law, her grandson, will be close at hand!
The banquet was still going on, but Wen Su planned to inform Wen's family of the news tomorrow.Anyway, it's better to whet your appetite, otherwise it will appear that the Lin family intends to marry the Wen family, which will be looked down upon instead.

The extravagant banquet is the gold mine for this group of officials and wives, but in Fangji Noodle Restaurant, Wen Ruoxi was in a trance when cooking the noodles for the first time.

"Niu Niu? Niu Niu!"

Fang Yun put her hand in front of Wen Ruoxi's eyes, and Wen Ruoxi came back to her senses: "Ah? Mom, what do you want from me?"

"Niuniu, I've been watching you for 10 minutes, but you didn't react at all. Look at this side, it's almost melted by you. If you're not in the mood today, then hurry home and rest. Don't mess with me here."

Fang Yun angrily grabbed the chopsticks in Wen Ruoxi's hand, she had been busy at the company all day, and planned to come over to cook noodles to relax at night, but Wen Ruoxi looked so devastated.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking suspiciously: "Niuniu, did you quarrel with Lin Mu?"

Wen Ruoxi smiled embarrassingly: "No, we have a meeting all day today. If it wasn't for his company's temporary business, we would come back after watching the movie."

Fang Yun concentrated on cooking the noodles: "It's good that it's okay, I see, it's really the water poured out by a married daughter. She's not married yet, do you miss Lin Mu?"

Wen Ruoxi lowered her head and said nothing, but her face was a little blushing, her voice was lower than that of a mosquito: "Mom, I want to visit Huanyu, it must be very hard to work overtime at such a late hour."

Fang Yun has no objection to this: "That's fine, Niuniu, cook another bowl of noodles and bring it to Lin Mu. It's so late, let's treat it as supper."

Wen Ruoxi naturally smiled and nodded in agreement, this time she was very attentive in cooking the noodles, which provoked Fang Yun to tease her for a while.

Although it is already ninety o'clock, the number of customers in Fangji noodle shop has not decreased too much.Since the last sanitation inspection incident, Noodle Art Family has been in a slump, and the branch on Qingnian Road has officially closed down.Nowadays, people are gradually concerned about food safety. Therefore, Fangji Noodle Restaurant, which is far ahead in hygienic conditions, has become the first choice for people to eat out. No, at this point, some young people who have just finished shopping come here for supper.

The street lights on the entire Qingnian Road are brightly lit, and it is not far from the commercial street, and there are always police patrolling nearby, so Fang Yun is not very worried about her daughter's safety, but just let her go home and sleep after watching Lin Mu That's good, Fang Yun planned to work until closing time, so she slept in the noodle shop directly, and it would be more convenient to go to the company tomorrow morning.

Wen Ruoxi was holding a thermos bucket in her hand, which was full of signature noodles, and she thoughtfully put two poached eggs in it, plus a little side dish, this is Lin Mu's favorite taste.

She was walking on the road full of sweetness, not far away, the four big characters of Huanyu International were flashing, and the jumping neon lights on it seemed to be Wen Ruoxi's mood.

She quickly walked to the downstairs of the Lantian office building, but when she got closer, she realized that the whole building, except for the four characters Huanyu International on the upper floor, was not lit.

The security guard downstairs saw Wen Ruoxi, so he came out and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wen Ruoxi said politely: "I'm here to deliver supper to my boyfriend, can you let me in?"

The security guard looked surprised and said: "You won't lie to me, right? I didn't hear that Huanyu International is working overtime tonight. Today is the weekend, and no one comes to the office building all day."

Wen Ruoxi's heart sank: "Did you make a mistake?"

The security guard was dissatisfied and said: "It's impossible to make a mistake. There is only one gate in the Lantian office building. I've been here for a day. It's impossible for someone to go in and I didn't see it. I think you should leave quickly!"

Wen Ruoxi held back her breath, she noticed the security guard's eyes, as if she was looking at a thief.She suppressed the anger in her heart, walked away quickly, and planned to call Lin Mu.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off. Sorry,......"

A mechanical electronic sound came from the mobile phone, but Wen Ruoxi's heart became heavier and heavier.

the next day.

Lin Mu got up early in the morning and was about to go to work when his mother Wen Su stopped him.

"Xiaomu, you are not allowed to work overtime tonight. You have pushed back all your appointments. Mom will take you to a very important appointment tonight. This is related to your choice of fiancée. At 06:30 in the evening, you must remember to go home first Come with us."

Lin Mu frowned. He originally postponed his date with Wen Ruoxi yesterday, thinking that he would spend time with her today, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.He remembered that he had cleared away those women who might become his fiancée, but where did it come from?

However, he couldn't confront Wen Su explicitly, so he could only agree, "Okay, I'll make a note."

After Wen Su informed Lin Mu, she happily called Zhang Ruyan.

"Hi, is that Mrs. Zhang? Our old man has agreed to see your daughter! At 06:30 tonight, in private room [-] of the Alps Hotel, don't be late!"

Zhang Ruyan was naturally overjoyed after hearing this, she nodded vigorously: "I see!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ruyan couldn't hide her joy, and said to Wen Cheng and Wen Ruoqing who had been standing by the side, "It's done! At 06:30 tonight, you two will go with me!"

A smile appeared on Wen Cheng's face, since Wen Ruoqing could agree to the marriage, there was no need for Wen Ruoxi to return to Wen's family, and he finally didn't have to lie low in front of his illegitimate daughter.

Naturally, Wen Ruoqing was so happy that she didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, she stood up abruptly and ran back to her room to try on clothes. She must dress up beautifully today to make the Lin family satisfied at a glance.

As soon as Zhang Ruyan rolled her eyes, she knew what her daughter wanted to do.She couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Oh, my daughter has grown up."

Wen Cheng smiled and took her shoulders: "Ruyan, although my daughter has grown up, you are still as beautiful as you were 20 years ago."

Zhang Ruyan cast a reproachful look at Wen Cheng: "If you hate it, you know how to talk sweetly!"

The Wen family was full of laughter, but now Wen Ruoxi was sitting at home blankly. She didn't sleep all night. She felt a crack in her heart because she saw Lin Mu's lies with her own eyes.

The phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, Niuniu, hurry up and come to the company to work. What time is it? Fang Ji just opened the door not long ago, and it's really busy now. I can't do it alone. Hurry up!"

Fang Yun's voice was full of anxiety, but Wen Ruoxi's answer was very flat.

"Oh, I see, I'll be right there."

The phone was hung up, Fang Yun was a little strange, her daughter's mood didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Wen Ruoxi was stunned for a while, sighed, picked up the phone and dialed the familiar phone number.

"Hi, is this Damu?"

Lin Mu had already arrived at the company at this time, and when he saw Wen Ruoxi calling himself, the corner of his mouth curled up in a big arc: "Niu Niu, I'm so sorry, I had something to do last night, so I missed the date. You call me, Did you miss me?"

In the past, when she heard Lin Mu's words, Wen Ruoxi would have to argue with him about whatever she said.But today she is obviously not in the mood, she is eager to have a talk with Lin Mu, maybe Lin Mu will refuse to admit it, maybe he will admit his mistake, and then break up with her frankly.

No matter what the result was, Wen Ruoxi felt that the air was extremely oppressive.She paused and asked, "Damu, are you free tonight? I want to ask you out for dinner."

Lin Mu said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Niuniu, I may have to work overtime at the company tonight, and I'll be free tomorrow, why don't we meet tomorrow?"

The company had to work overtime again, Wen Ruoxi was a little annoyed, but she didn't know if it was a lie this time.She could only suppress the unhappiness in her heart, and said in a neutral manner: "Alright then, we will meet tomorrow."

Without talking to Lin Mu too much, Wen Ruoxi turned off the phone in a distracted manner, and buried her head deeply in the quilt.It took a long time for her to get up. No matter whether Lin Mu lied or not, she should still go to work on time. Wen Ruoxi didn't want to see Fang Yun disappointed because of her.

On the other side, Lin Mu still felt guilty. This was the second time he had cheated Wen Ruoxi.He knew that if there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. If he continues to lie to Wen Ruoxi, then Wen Ruoxi will find out sooner or later.He knew Wen Ruoxi's character, if that happened, Wen Ruoxi would definitely get rid of him without hesitation.

It's just that the pressure at home is too great now, he doesn't want to make Wen Ruoxi sad, but he also doesn't want his family to worry about him.Lin Mu knew what the purpose of the marriage was, but he was worried that his foundation was not stable enough, and there was no junior in this generation who would go into politics, so no one could protect him.So he chose to temporarily agree to his family's request. He believed that he was strong enough to make his company strong enough before the wedding, so strong that no one could easily shake him.If he really can't stand in the business circle at that time, and the wedding date is coming, then he will choose to cancel the engagement, even if he and Wen Ruoxi are a poor and lowly couple, they can still live happily.

Lin Mu sighed quietly, he knew that the way he did it was wrong, but he was even more afraid that Wen Ruoxi would think too much.Niuniu, just take this as a white lie, Lin Mu thought.
