Lots of misunderstandings, the president's bride

Chapter 43
Ke Muyang leaned against the car door without saying a word.

The night hid him.

"when!"

A slight voice broke the silence slightly.

The lighter flame flickered in the faint darkness, and he lit a cigar.

Then it was pitch black
The red flames were faintly visible, but the reddish light could not illuminate everything around.

Ke Muyang threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out with his foot, turned around, opened the door, and got in the car... All the actions were done in one go without any hesitation.

"Drive." He said lightly.

Asen looked at Ke Muyang in the rearview mirror, "Miss An..."

Ke Muyang said in a deep voice, "She is no longer a child."

An Xi struggled to walk to the door of her house.

It took only one or two minutes to walk up the stairs, but An Xi felt that the stairs were so long that she even felt that it was impossible to finish.

When An Xi opened the door and walked into the house, she found that the lights in the house were on.

She looked towards the kitchen where the sound came from, and saw her mother covering her chest with one hand, struggling to cook the noodles.

"Come back?" Mother didn't turn her head, but she knew that it was Anxi who came back.

"En." An Xi replied, she just felt that she was very tired and didn't want to talk, so she turned around and prepared to go back to the room to rest.

She just wants to sleep well, sleep well.Maybe when I wake up, nothing will happen.Maybe the next day she discovered that it was just a dream.

"Go to see Ke Zhen?"

An Xi was taken aback, she stopped and turned to look at her mother, "You know I'm going to see the chairman?"

"Chairman?" Mother frowned slightly, but soon she smiled and walked out, "Did he recognize you?"

An Xi looked at her, stared blankly for a moment, then turned her gaze to the side, "Mom, me, am I really his granddaughter?"

"Heh, since he is willing to see you, it means that he has no doubts about you. It's up to him. Don't worry, since he is willing to see you, it means that he will recognize you. It's just a matter of time, you old man of the Ke family. You can't run away as a young lady, so let's enjoy your blessings in the future."

An Xi looked at her with an unusually calm expression.

Her mother's bitter and indifferent voice cut her heart again.

"Mom, don't you agree with me going to work in the Dynasty? I will resign tomorrow. I won't go in the future, okay? We..."

But before she could finish her sentence, her mother interrupted her mercilessly:

"It's up to you. From now on, you will be the young lady of the Ke family. Whether you take that job or not is the same for you."

"Mom!" Anxi finally couldn't stand her mother's ruthless indifference, she cried and stepped forward to hold her hand tightly, "Mom, don't you want me? Do you really want me to go to that Ke's house? Mom... ..."

But the mother ruthlessly shook off her hand, "Not going back? Oh, not sending you back?"

"I can support you, I will work hard to make money to support you..."

"Are you kidding me? Is your brain sick? Don't you want to let you go back to live a good life? Do you want to live this life for the rest of your life?"

"I don't want to! I think this is very good. Mom, no matter how hard we are, can't we live a good life? Mom, let's leave here and start again, okay?"

"What's good! Don't you have enough of this kind of life? Think about it with your head, do you want anything when you go back to Ke's house? You can learn whatever you want, and you can ask for whatever you want. Isn't that bad? Anxi, let me tell you, you don't want this kind of life, I want it! I've had enough of this kind of life, understand you!"

An Xi looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, she suddenly felt that she was so strange, and even felt that she was not the biological mother who gave birth to her at all.

The mother looked at An Xi, took a deep breath after being silent for a while, and her distorted facial expression softened a little, she stepped forward, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said softly, "Okay, don't The child has lost his temper. Mom knows that you can't accept it for a while, but that's true. No matter what, it's your father's father. Since he wants to recognize you, it means that he accepts you. You can go back with him , your father will be happy when he finds out. At least he won’t have to work so hard in the future. Besides, didn’t you always want to learn to draw? Mom knows that you have never given up on your dream, and you also want to take a good exam Isn’t it your university? When you return to Ke’s house, Ke Zhen will always plan a good future for you. Don’t worry, be good, you are tired, go and rest.”

In the end, Anxi could only smile helplessly, then lowered her head, turned around and walked into her room silently.

That night, she sat in a small corner of her room, curled up, her arms hugged her knees, like a wounded cat, hiding in the corner and licking the spots on her body Wound.

She tightly held a very old brass-colored pocket watch in her hand, which was given to her by her father when she was very young, and it was also the only memento left by her father.

"Dad, tell me, why did this happen? What should I do in the future?"

Sometimes, she even asked herself, is she an orphan without a home?
She doesn't even know why she exists in this world.

It's like a superfluous existence.

The next day, she still went to work.

Come to work on time, leave work on time...

It's just that she seemed to have no soul all day long, without saying a word.

Colleagues are still quietly talking about Mr. Ke coming to pick her up from get off work yesterday.

"It's not like they're dating, are they?"

In the tea room, there was always a period of time when a few women sat around and began to gossip about these things.

"Mr. Ke's eyes are not blind, right? Ke will always fall in love with a woman like her?"

"Don't underestimate her... I, Qingyan, saw her go to the bar after work to be a beer girl. Well, we saw it the other day when we went to the half-human world, didn't we?"

"Wow, I can't tell, I'm usually honest, but I'm still a wine companion."

An Xi stood at the door of the tea room and listened to his colleagues talking about him behind his back, just listening.

"Cough, cough, cough..." A person found Anxi, and immediately pretended to cough a few times to remind others, "I still have a report, I'm going out to do errands first." After speaking, she left in a hurry.

The others also looked at Anxi, and then each found a reason to leave the tea room.

An Xi waited for them to leave before she lowered her eyes and smiled wryly...

The busy work made her forget the time to get off work.

When she raised her head, she realized that it was past ten o'clock.

She sat in her seat and didn't want to go back for a moment.

Family?
Where is her home?

Mother?grandfather?
Why is it so strange to her?
She lowered her head and realized that she was a little hungry, as if she hadn't eaten anything all day.

She thought about it, so she stood up and went to the tea room to get a box of instant noodles, and then made another cup of coffee.

She didn't want to go home, so she increased the workload on herself, and she wanted to numb herself with work.

She stood in front of the brewing station and stared blankly at the box of instant noodles in front of her. She didn't know what she was thinking, but just stood there in a daze.

"cough!"

When she was in a daze, she was startled by a coughing sound, she turned her head suddenly, only to see Ke Zhen standing at the door of the tea room.

"Chairman?" She quickly glanced at Ke Muyang behind Ke Zhen, "Mr. Ke."

Ke Muyang didn't respond.

And followed Ke Zhen into the tea room.

Ke Zhen looked at the watch on his wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone else has left, why are you still working overtime here?"

An Xi pursed her lips and replied, "I'm stupid and slow to do things, so it takes a lot of time."

"Really." Ke Zhen obviously didn't care, he walked to the table and reached out to open the bowl of instant noodles that seemed to have been soaked, "You eat this at night?"

"Yes." Anxi nodded honestly.

The old man raised his head to look at Anxi who was beside him, then smiled and said, "Girl, are you really willing to work overtime?"

An Xi looked at Ke Zhen, "Why did the chairman say that? I don't quite understand?"

"Hehehe... Did you do this on purpose for me to see? Did you know that I would come to the company today? So work hard to win my favor?" Ke Zhen said bluntly, with a hint of suspicion in his tone, "Girl , Did your mother teach you to do this? Or did you do it yourself?"

After working so hard in the mall for so many years, Ke Zhen no longer trusts anyone, obviously including his biological son Ke Muyang.

Facing An Xi's actions, he naturally had to have habitual doubts.

An Xi looked at Ke Zhen, she was not an idiot, she knew what he meant, she smiled, "Chairman, I don't think I need to do this, because I am just a small employee who has just been hired, and I don't know the high-level employees at all. About you coming to the company today, I only found out when you came, and no one told me that the chairman will come here at this time."

The old man looked at the little girl in front of him, his originally serious face softened a little, and then looked at Ke Muyang, "Take this girl out for something to eat later."

"Understood, chairman." Ke Muyang's eyes paused on An Xi for a while.

The old man didn't say anything else, and slowly walked away with his hands behind his back, "Mu Yang, I'm going back first, you can attend tomorrow's board meeting for me, just say that I'm not feeling well."

"Yes. Chairman."

The two followed the old man all the way to the hotel gate, where a black Rolls Royce was already waiting there.

After seeing the old man off, Ke Muyang's car stopped in front of them.

Ke Muyang opened the car door very gentlemanly, looked back at Anxi standing there, and said, "Get in the car."

An Xi looked at the car in front of her that hadn't driven away, and then sat in the car silently.

Ke Muyang closed the car door for her, and walked around to the other side.

He still took her to the restaurant last time. This time, they sat by the window.

The two sat face to face, Ke Muyang pushed the menu in front of her, and said softly, "What do you want to eat?"

An Xi looked at him, then looked at the menu in front of him, and said in silence for a while, "I don't understand English very well, please order for me."

She was very honest.

Ke Muyang didn't say anything, and handed the menu to the waiter beside him, "The red wine filet is good, you can try it."

Anxi nodded without comment.

When the steak was served, Ke Muyang still reached out and took her plate, and carefully cut the steak into small pieces for her.

Seeing his earnest and careful look, Anxi's nose was a little sore, but she still held back her emotions, and she calmly said to him, "If you have something to do, you can go first."

"You don't have to pay attention to what the chairman said today. The reason why he went to the public relations department is because he has secretly investigated your usual work attitude. He knows that you often stay and work overtime."

"It's not important, what's important is that he accepted me, right?"

Ke Muyang looked at her, then lowered his eyes and continued to cut the steak in his hand, and gave a faint "hmm".

At this time, his mobile phone on the table vibrated, and Ke Muyang glanced at it casually and pressed mute directly.

Then he put the cut steak in front of Anxi, "Eat it." Then he ate the steak in front of him
"Let's go first if you have something to do, and leave me alone." An Xi lowered her head and ate a piece of beef, and said very calmly.

"The chairman asked me to accompany you to dinner."

"Chairman? So, is this your job? Eating with me is just work?" Anxi looked at him and asked.

Ke Muyang looked at her, and then said nonchalantly, "If you think so, it's fine."
