Chapter 636: Chapter 632 Mu Qingxue Arrives

”Qiaoqiao, you’re still young. You don’t understand,” she said.

Hearing Qiaoqiao’s words, Shen Manjun’s lips curved into a bitter smile as she sighed deeply in her heart. She had thought about finding a dependable man. She did not want Qiaoqiao to look enviously at other children accompanied by both parents whenever they went out. Although Qiaoqiao hid it well, how could it escape her notice?

Unfortunately, some things were beyond her control. She was no fool; many men, the elite among elites, pursued her, all very outstanding. Yet, not one treated her sincerely. Every one of them had an ulterior motive, aiming to gain the support of the Shen Family’s power.

The Shen Family was one of Beijing’s prominent families, and she was the Sect Leader. Whoever pursued her would, in effect, gain the support of the Shen Family, inheriting everything from them. All her suitors were after this, their facades differing from their true intentions. She had encountered too many such situations, and more importantly, she did not want to end up bringing a wolf into the den, harming Qiaoqiao in the process.

”Mom, I’m not young anymore. How could I not understand?”

Unsatisfied with her mother’s words, Qiaoqiao protested, ”Mom, I know you’re maintaining this family alone, presenting yourself as strong to keep everyone at a distance, to make them fear you. But I know, every night, you stand alone on the balcony, staring at the moon, lost in thought. I can feel your loneliness. I’m almost seventeen. I’m not a child anymore.”

Slightly trembling upon hearing Qiaoqiao’s words, Shen Manjun looked at her stubborn-faced daughter and realized that her daughter had grown up and was no longer the little girl who followed her everywhere.

Seeing Shen Manjun’s expression, Qiaoqiao’s eyes flickered mischievously as she chuckled, ”Mom, if you can’t find the right one, how about I pick someone for you?”

At this, a faint smile appeared on Shen Manjun’s face as she asked, ”You will pick someone for me? Who?”

”The uncle,” Qiaoqiao blurted out.

”It’s that uncle who saved me back in Modu. I think he’s a pretty good person. Although he’s a bit dark-skinned, he’s agile and knows how to take care of others. I think he’s really suitable for you, Mom. What do you think?”

”Him!”

Hearing Qiaoqiao’s description, Shen Manjun’s expression darkened dramatically. She certainly remembered Lu Tianxing, the man who had dared to brazenly flirt with her the first time they met, especially in Xiangjiang. How audacious he had been! It was preposterous, too brazen, and she could never forget Lu Tianxing, a boldly reckless man.

”Mom, what’s wrong? Don’t you like the uncle? I think he’s pretty nice,” Qiaoqiao cautiously commented, seeing the look on Shen Manjun’s face.

After cursing Lu Tianxing in her mind, Shen Manjun took a deep breath and said, ”I’m fine, Qiaoqiao. You lie down and rest a bit; I’ll go make some porridge for you.”

Saying this, Shen Manjun stood up and walked outside.

Qiaoqiao didn’t speak further but watched her mother’s retreating figure and thought mischievously, ”Uncle, this is as much as I can do for you. My mom seems to be really upset with you right now. But there’s a saying, the deeper the hate, the deeper the love will be later. Uncle, you must not let me down. My mom has never been this angry because of any man before.”

Inside Bai’s Group.

Lu Tianxing, completely unaware that he had been schemed against by a young girl, was joyously playing a game, watching ”Great God, carry me!” pop up continually in the bottom left corner of the screen, his face lighting up with a brilliant smile.

Just then, the large door of the office was suddenly knocked.

”Come in,” Bai Zhiqing put down the document in her hand and looked up to say.

As her voice fell, the office door was pushed open, and Lan Xin walked in from the outside. She first glanced at Lu Tianxing, then respectfully said to Bai Zhiqing, ”Mr. Bai, the front desk just called. A woman wearing a mask has come downstairs wanting to see you, but when the front desk asked her to remove her mask, she refused. Moreover, she said that she met with you last night and had arranged to visit the company today.”

At this, Bai Zhiqing was slightly stunned. Could the visitor be Mu Qingxue?

She remembered that she had indeed said such a thing to Mu Qingxue the night before. It was only a polite invitation, yet she did not expect Mu Qingxue to actually plan to visit Bai’s Group.

”Do you know her name?” Bai Zhiqing asked for confirmation again.

”I don’t know. The front desk asked her, but she wouldn’t say. She just told the front desk that her surname is Mu.”

”The surname Mu!”

Bai Zhiqing was taken aback, her face showing a hint of joy as she said, ”I know who she is now. Please ask her to come up quickly.”

The only Mu she knew was Mu Qingxue.

”Yes, Mr. Bai, I’ll call the front desk right away.”

Lan Xin looked at Bai Zhiqing with some surprise. She rarely saw Bai Zhiqing display such excitement. However, knowing better than to ask, she nodded and stepped out.

At this moment, Lu Tianxing also exited the game and looked at Bai Zhiqing, asking, ”Wife, could it really be Mu Qingxue coming to Bai’s Group?”

”Of course.”

A hint of pride was evident on Bai Zhiqing’s face. ”It seems my Bai’s Group has truly made it when even a big star is coming over voluntarily for a visit.”

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s demeanor, all Lu Tianxing could do was give a bitter smile. Only someone oblivious like Bai Zhiqing would believe that Mu Qingxue would visit Bai’s Group for inspiration. He was well aware of the Mu Family’s power; they were quite renowned in Beijing. If Mu Qingxue mentioned wanting to visit a company for inspiration, even the top 500 global companies would likely extend an offer for her to visit.

Lu Tianxing had a feeling that Mu Qingxue might be coming specifically for him, and perhaps even recognized him as the one who had rescued her, prompting her to rush to Bai’s Group today.

With this thought, Lu Tianxing sighed softly. If she was indeed coming for him, what should he do?

Seeing Lu Tianxing sigh, Bai Zhiqing was slightly taken aback and displeasedly said, ”Lu Tianxing, why are you sighing? What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy that Mu Qingxue is visiting Bai’s Group? Or is it like you said last night to Weiwei, that you went back to the makeup room to try your luck with Mu Qingxue, only to be harshly rejected, and now that you hear she’s coming to Bai’s Group, you’re worried about being exposed, so you’re sighing?”
