Mountains have trees and trees have branches

Chapter 172
Mu Xiliang still felt a little guilty about driving Fang Meijing away last time. When he saw her, he quickly put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile, "Is there something wrong so early?"

Fang Meijing is the director of the Intelligence Office, and the situation has gotten worse recently. If there hadn't been the battle in Chengzhou, the first thing Mu Xiliang would do every day at work would be to see Fang Meijing.

Fang Meijing's eyes were dark, she didn't speak, she just put an envelope on his desk lightly, Mu Xiliang was taken aback, looked down, and the words "resignation letter" instantly came into view.

Mu Xiliang frowned.

He picked up the letter of resignation, opened it and looked at it. It was nothing more than official words, and there was nothing worthy of scrutiny.

Mu Xiliang raised his head with a serious expression.

"Mei Jing, what's going on?"

Thinking of the day before Mu Xiliang left, Fang Meijing felt as if she had been stabbed in her heart. She didn't want to think about it anymore, and said lightly, "My mother is gone, and my father is a bit lonely by himself. Besides, he can't stay in Huating for a long time. I should go back and help my father too."

Mu Xiliang squeezed the letter paper and said nothing.

After a long time, he said, "Mei Jing, are you angry with me because I drove you home that day?"

Fang Meijing's complexion changed slightly when she was told about the central matter, and her heart was full of grievances, and she subconsciously recognized it and opened her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Mu Xiliang apologized, "Mei Jing, it's my fault. That day was too hasty, and I drove you home before I could explain it to you. You should be angry. I always put You treat yourself as your own person, so that day will be more casual."

As soon as he said "one of my own people", Fang Meijing felt even more aggrieved, she bit her lip and remained silent.Mu Xiliang said again, "Mei Jing, some things are not as you see them on the surface, and Xue Yanhe is not as superficial as you know, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the great position he is today. That day Xue Shaochen and I know the matter in our hearts. I firmly believe that we will not lose the battle, so we will never turn back. Meijing, since you took charge of the intelligence room, you have done a very good job. No one can replace you. If the situation permits, I will I really hope you can stay."

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, I also know that you are the only daughter of Uncle, and you need to inherit Nuo Da's family business. It would be shameful for me to keep you here, so if you make up your mind to leave , can you wait for me to find someone to replace you?"

Fang Meijing was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head.

What Mu Xiliang said was to keep her on the surface, but he was actually blaming her for meddling in her own business.

I have been persuading him for so long, persuading him not to join forces with Xue Yanhe, and Mu Xiliang agreed every time on the surface, but according to what he said, he had already reached some kind of contract with Xue Yanhe.

In vain, she still worried about him, knowing that he didn't like it, but still insisted on dissuading him.

A wave of shame and anger rushed straight to the top of her head. She glanced at Mu Xiliang and said coldly, "I'm leaving soon, Xiliang. Thank you for taking care of me these days. Let's see you again when we have a chance."

Mu Xiliang thought about it, Fang Meijing was determined, and he couldn't say anything, so he signed the resignation letter with a stroke of a pen and handed it back to Fang Meijing.

"Mei Jing, I respect you. If I have time, I will treat you to dinner. If you want to go back to Chengzhou, you have to tell me. Even if we are friends for so many years, even if we don't work together, if you have anything to do in the future, just ask. I can help." Will definitely help."

Fang Meijing looked at the resignation letter signed by Mu Xiliang's name in her hand, and couldn't believe it.

Mu Xiliang actually agreed just like that!

For a moment, she was angry and regretful, but the deal was done, and she couldn't bear to beg Mu Xiliang, so she squeezed the resignation letter in her hand, said "goodbye", and forced herself out of the office.

On the way home, Fang Meijing had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She felt that she was really stupid and hated Mu Xiliang's ruthlessness.

As smart as he is, can't he see that he is just having a temper and doesn't really want to leave.

He said a few good words and sincerely persuaded her to stay, how could she still be willful?
She was just angry, not reconciled that she might not be that important in his heart, Mu Xiliang is such a smart person, can't he see it?

Thinking about it this way, Fang Meijing felt as if a villain had stabbed her hard with a knife, and she could hardly breathe in the pain.

She struggled back home, and as soon as she got to the bedroom, she threw herself into the bed, covered her face with the quilt, and burst into tears.

After crying for a while, she had cried enough, she sat up, only to realize that the house seemed to be quiet, Qiao Nanyi was not at home, as if her father was not there either.

She was a little strange, she went out to look for her, and searched upstairs and downstairs, but sure enough, she was not at home.

Looking at it this way, she remembered that Dad seems to be away often at home recently.

Since my mother left, my father didn't want to stay at home any longer.

Thinking of her mother and what happened today, Fang Meijing's tears were about to flow down again, when suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the yard, and after a while, Qiao Nanyi and Fang Chengye came in from outside.

"dad?"

Fang Meijing was almost taken aback when she saw Fang Chengye's smiling face.

Since his mother left, Fang Chengye has never laughed like this again.

At this time, he was dressed as an old farmer for a while, and he was holding a big bucket in his hand. There were strawberries sticking out of the bucket.

Now is the season for strawberries.

However, even Qiao Nanyi was dressed in peasant clothes.

"What are you doing...?"

When Fang Chengye saw Fang Meijing, he rushed up excitedly to meet her.

"Look, Meijing, this is the strawberry I planted, it's big and sweet. By the way, I'll wash some for you to eat."

As he spoke, he ran into the kitchen like a child.

As soon as he left, Fang Meijing frowned and hurriedly asked Qiao Nanyi, "What's going on?"

Qiao Nanyi hurriedly said, "Mei Jing, it's like this, I saw that my uncle was bored at home all day, and I was afraid of getting sick, so I rented a small piece of land with a fellow villager nearby, and wanted my uncle to grow something to pass the time. Unexpectedly, Uncle was really interested, planted a small piece of strawberry, and it really became a success!"

After a pause, she said uncomfortably, "Mei Jing, I'm sorry, I made my own decision and didn't tell you."

Fang Meijing was silent for a long time, leaned forward and hugged her.

"Nan Yi, thank you so much. You take care of my father so hard, I really don't know what to say. Seeing my father's smiling face again... Nan Yi, I thank you so much!!"

She choked up and couldn't continue, Qiao Nanyi hurriedly said, "Meijing, what are you talking about, I should do these things for you, we are friends."

"Uh-huh."

While talking, Fang Meijing couldn't help crying, Qiao Nanyi comforted, "What's wrong with you, Meijing, do you have something on your mind?"

Fang Meijing was so wronged that she told Qiao Nanyi what happened in the morning while crying.

When Qiao Nanyi heard this, he blamed, "Mei Jing, how can you resign? This man is actually very stupid. A man like Mu Xiliang can have as many women as he wants. How can he work hard to resign?" Guess what a woman is thinking. If you do this, Mu Xiliang will think that you really don't want to do it anymore, look, you're going to be stiff!"

When Qiao Nanyi said this, Fang Meijing cried even harder.

"Then tell me, what should I do? I, I'm just angry."

"I know you can't be angry. It's right for you to go to Mu Xiliang, but you can't resign. You should let him know that you have been wronged in this matter, and make him feel guilty to coax you. You see , will this shorten the distance between you?"

Fang Meijing was taken aback, indeed, any time in the past, Mu Xiliang would come to apologize to her!

She realized that she had messed up everything, and she covered her mouth anxiously and cried. Qiao Nanyi smiled and said, "Okay, that's fine, Mu Xiliang is not a fool, he should know the reason why you resigned suddenly Yes, as long as he knows the reason, it will be easy."

Fang Meijing was overjoyed, hurriedly wiped away her tears, looked at Qiao Nanyi pitifully, "What can you do, tell me quickly."

"Don't worry, I'll think about it carefully,"

Qiao Nanyi touched Fang Meijing's chin lovingly, "Meijing, don't worry, with me here, no one will try to bully you."

Fang Meijing bit her lip, and hugged Qiao Nanyi again. Not far behind her, Fang Chengye looked at Qiao Nanyi, and Madam Fang appeared in his mind.

"My good daughter, with my mother around, no one can bully my Meijing."

Back then, she said the same thing.

Before Fang Chengye's eyes, Qiao Nanyi's figure and Mrs. Fang's figure gradually merged into one person.

It was night, it was dark, and it was raining lightly outside.

Yuan Xiang still lives in the small villa that Mu Xiliang arranged for her.

There are two girls in the villa who take care of her daily life.

Yuanxiang's daily life is very regular, almost like a Puritan. On the surface, she also has no desires or desires.

Also, she never smiles.

The maid who took care of her personally made the bed for her and said respectfully, "Miss, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed."

To be honest, the girl is a little afraid of Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang nodded, closed the book in his hand, and stood up when he heard a knock on the door.

The girl looked back, "Who is it, it's so late?"

While speaking, she turned her head and saw Yuan Xiang's expression suddenly changed.

"Go down, I'll open the door."

The girl hesitated for a moment, "But..."

"Go down!"

When Yuan Xiang rarely had such a stern look, the girl was taken aback and hurriedly answered and left the room.

Yuan Xiang walked out of the room, walked all the way to the door, opened the door, and a man in a black cloak stood at the door.

The man stepped through the door and slowly took off the hat on her head, revealing her terrifying appearance.

It's Qin Zhao's mother-in-law.

"Mother-in-law."

Yuan Xiang called out respectfully, removed the raincoat for Grandma Qin Zhao, and brought her a cup of hot tea.

Qin Zhao's mother-in-law took a sip of hot tea and said calmly, "You haven't done it yet?"

Yuan Xiang lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Qin Zhao's mother-in-law glanced at her, called "trash", and said, "But is that Fu Qinghuan acting as a hindrance?"

Yuan Xiang shook his head.

"It's my granddaughter's inability to do things well, and she still hasn't let Mu Xiliang accept me."

Granny Qin Zhao glanced at her, stood up and walked in front of her, raised her hand, and a loud slap sounded in the room, and Yuan Xiang was beaten and fell to the ground.
