Lots of misunderstandings, the president's bride

Chapter 44
She never knew that in her mother's eyes, she was just an item, an item that could be bought and sold by her at will, and could be exchanged for equivalent value with money.

Mr. Ke seemed really unwilling to stay in this place for another second. He turned around and leaned on his crutches. He walked to the door and looked at Anxi slightly sideways, "You don't need to pack anything, I will ask someone to prepare it for you." After speaking, he walked downstairs without looking back.

There is no kindness in his words, and his serious and cold voice makes people feel no warmth.

An Xi looked back at her mother, but her mother seemed more interested in the check she got from the old man's assistant, and she didn't even look at An Xi again.

An Xi took a deep breath, but the air she inhaled was bitingly cold, which hurt her heart.

She turned around and said softly, "Mom, I'm leaving."

But her mother still didn't respond, she pursed her lips, suppressed her tears, and walked out of the apartment building where she had lived for so many years without looking back.

Downstairs, the car was already waiting for her with the door open.

Lao Yang next to Mr. Ke stood in front of the car door, looked at An Xi very respectfully and said, "Miss Sun, please get in the car."

An Xi looked at the old man sitting in the car, she lowered her eyes and nodded.

Then she stooped into the car.

The car slowly left the alley where the smell of stinky water could be smelled everywhere, and turned onto the main road.

Lao Yang, who was sitting in the front passenger seat of the car, answered a phone call and turned to look at Mr. Ke behind him, "Sir, all the directors are here."

The old man took out an old brass and diamond-studded pocket watch from his breast pocket, looked at the time, "I'll be at the company in half an hour."

"Yes, sir."

But Anxi looked at the pocket watch in his hand without blinking.

Ke Zhen seemed to have noticed something, and turned his gaze to An Xi.

"Girl."

Ke Zhen's voice was so loud and powerful that Anxi trembled in fright, she looked back at him, "Grandpa."

"Interested in this watch?"

An Xi shook her head quickly, "No, no, no, it's just that I also have the same pocket watch."

Ke Zhen's face changed slightly when he heard this, "Oh? That's right, let me have a look."

An Xi nodded, "Okay." After finishing speaking, she turned around and took out the pocket watch, which was also brass and diamonds, from her bag.exactly the same.

An Xi didn't leave anything behind her father, except this pocket watch, which she always kept.

Ke Zhen opened the pocket watch, and a photo on the cover caught his attention.

He pointed to the little girl in the photo who was only three or four years old and wore a pair of ram's horn whips and asked, "Is this you?"

Anxi looked at the picture where she represented her father, and her father's smile was gentle and loving. She nodded, "I heard from my mother that this photo was taken when I was three years old."

Ke Zhen took out his pocket watch, opened it, and inside was a black and white photo of a little boy and a handsome man.

"When I was three years old..." Ke Zhen's expression was a little sad, "At that time your father was only five years old."

An Xi looked at the pocket watch in his hand, but found that the old man's hands were trembling.

She looked up and saw that the old man's stern face seemed to have lost all that vigor at that moment, but was more sad.

Maybe it's because he's really old, or maybe he's just feeling sad, otherwise, how could such a person show his weakness so easily?
At that moment, what An Xi saw was not a tycoon who dominated the mall, but a poor and lonely old man.

Maybe she was still very unfamiliar with the concept of grandpa, but when she saw his weakness, she still felt sorry for him.

What in this world is more sad than a white-haired person giving a black-haired person?

"Grandpa." An Xi stretched out her hand and gently placed it on the back of his old hands.

The old man suddenly realized something, quickly closed the cool watch, returned An Xi's watch, and then smiled, "This is my pocket watch that your father accidentally broke when he was young." , He was afraid that I would be angry, so he asked someone to order another exactly the same watch. He thought I didn’t know, but I knew everything. Unexpectedly, he repaired this watch.”

An Xi tightly holds the pocket watch in her hand, is this predestined?

Recognize ancestors.

Maybe Dad loves his father very much, otherwise he would always carry this pocket watch with him.

Acknowledging the ancestors and returning to the ancestors...

But thinking of this, her heart ached.

She has never longed for the life of a wealthy family, but why is it her?

Why not tell her earlier that they are impossible, maybe she won't sink so deep, maybe she won't feel so much pain now.

Why did she fall in love with her own uncle?

uncle?
She never thought that in the end, it was the person she loved the most that hurt her the most.

Dynasty Hotel...

Mr. Ke seldom convenes meetings of all directors, especially after he fell ill, he seldom comes to the company.

But the sudden meeting of the board of directors obviously aroused a lot of high-level discussion.

Ke Muyang stood in his office, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his arms crossed, looking out thoughtfully:
Early in the morning, he received a call from his father.

He checked that An Xi was still drowsy, stood up and walked out of the ward.

"Father."

The old man had never called him so early, it seemed that it was something urgent.

"I'm going to hold an interim board meeting today, you can arrange it for me."

Ke Muyang slightly raised his eyes and looked out the window, "Okay, father, I'll call someone to notify the directors immediately." He didn't ask why, although he also wanted to know why.

After hanging up the phone, he went back to the ward, looked at Anxi, and then left...

"Mr. Ke, the chairman hasn't held such a large-scale board meeting for a long time, do you know something?"

Ke Muyang didn't speak, but turned his head slightly and glanced at them.

If there was no major event, would the old man call a board meeting casually, not to mention it was so sudden that there was no prior notice.

"Hey, don't you want to announce that Mr. Ke will take over his position as the chairman, and he wants to officially retire?" A director sitting over there suddenly said.

"Boss Lin's words are reasonable. The chairman's health is not good. In the past few years, Mr. Ke has been handling the company's affairs. I think so."

These directors are all supporters of Ke Muyang's side.I can't say loyalty, everyone gets what they need.

Maybe they all think that Ke Muyang must be the successor of the company in the future. After all, he is the only son of Ke Zhen and plays a vital role in the entire dynasty.He is almost the person who carries the entire dynasty, and his voice is also very high in the board of directors.

But Ke Muyang didn't think so well.

He even had a bad premonition lingering in his heart...

The board meeting is punctual.

And when Anxi followed the old man into the huge office, Ke Muyang, who was sitting by the side, raised his jaw slightly. He looked at Anxi, narrowed his eyes, but didn't leave any expression on his face. face.

His eyes remained on the girl next to his father.

He knew that after today's board meeting, her fate would be completely changed.

She will become the brightest star in the circle of high ladies.She will be the focus of everyone's pursuit.

She will become the most legitimate Ke family.

He looked at her, but she never raised her eyes, just stood beside the old man silently.

And An Xi's inadvertent, when her eyes flashed past her eyes, they unexpectedly bumped into Ke Muyang's deep eyes.

The eyes of the two met, but they were relatively silent.

An Xi looked sideways slightly, turning her gaze away.

Perhaps it was because of Ke Zhen's health, and the board meeting was only to announce Anxi's identity to the outside world, and the meeting ended after only 15 minutes.

The meeting ended, and the old man stopped Ke Muyang.

"Mu Yang, stay here, I have something for you to do."

"Yes, chairman." In the company, he never called him father, but respectfully called him chairman.

Ke Zhen was still sitting on that seat, and Ke Muyang stepped forward and stood in front of him.

"I'll leave this girl to you. Today you will go out with her and buy some clothes for her. She will move back home today. You young people can communicate easily."

Ke Muyang looked at An Xi, "Understood, chairman."

"Well, that's it."

The old man stood up and looked at An Xi, "He is your uncle, just tell him what you want."

An Xi raised her eyes to look at Ke Muyang, then nodded, and said with a smile, "Okay. I see, Grandpa." Then, she cast her eyes on Ke Muyang, showing him a A very bright smile, "Uncle."

But Ke Muyang didn't know why, when she called out these two words, he was inexplicably taken aback, and he didn't know how to think for a while.

He was in a trance for a while and then returned to Zhengzang, with an "en".

Anxi tried her best to make it look like nothing happened and sent the old man out of the company.

They stood at the entrance of the hotel and watched the old man's car leave.

"Wait for me, I'm going to drive."

"Where are we going?"

"Didn't you hear? The chairman asked me to go shopping with you today."

"Hehe, let Mr. Ke accompany me to go shopping in person, isn't it good?" Anxi looked away, "I'll go by myself."

"This is the order of the chairman." Ke Muyang replied lightly.

An Xi looked back at him, Ke Muyang had already turned and walked towards the parking lot.

Looking at the back, An Xi bit her lips, she even felt that her tone just now was too aggressive, full of provocation.

But she really knew what state of mind to use to talk to him so that it would appear natural.

Not long after, Ke Muyang stopped in front of her in his car.

He sat in the car, reached out and opened the passenger seat, "Get in the car."

After Anxi hesitated for a moment, she chose the back seat instead of the co-pilot.

Ke Muyang raised his eyes to look at An Xi who was looking out the window, then chuckled and reached out to close the co-pilot's door.

The car then started slowly.

After a few minutes of silence in the car, An Xi looked out the window and said calmly, as if she was talking to herself.

"It's a surprise."

Ke Muyang chuckled, "Why do you ask that?"

"Just now when everyone knew that I was the granddaughter of my grandfather, they all showed very surprised expressions."

"I already knew who you are, so there is nothing surprising. But I thought it would take some time for this day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Congratulations, the chairman has admitted your identity to the outside world."

An Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the white marking lines on the road outside.

"Let's go shopping for clothes first. You need some beautiful clothes and jewelry. I'll take you to order a few sets later..."

"Didn't you know there was going to be a board meeting today?"

"No." Ke Muyang replied truthfully, "This is the chairman's decision."

An Xi didn't respond right away, she just looked outside and was silent for a long time before hearing her murmur, "I'm sorry..."

Ke Muyang didn't speak.

An Xi lowered her head and repeated again, "I'm sorry..."

Ke Muyang looked up through the rearview mirror and met An Xi's eyes.

"Why do you apologize?
"Just embarrassing you."

Ke Muyang frowned.

Anxi immediately turned her head to look outside, because just when Ke Zhen announced that she was his son Mu Qing's child, the other directors sitting aside all turned their eyes to Ke Muyang.

She saw it all, and at the same time she seemed to suddenly realize something...
