Chapter 86 Why are people in the hospital?
The wind started to blow in the afternoon. Through the cracks in the window, one could hear the howling of the wind like ghosts. Waves of coolness also came through the cracks in the window and went straight to the restaurant.
Xi Mozhou walked over, closed the last crack, and sat back at the dining table.
"How many times have you dealt with him? Can you still tell if it's the real person?"
"Hurry up and eat. It will rain later and the road will be difficult to walk on."
"Whether it rains or not, I'm not going home tonight."
Xi's father had been listening to the conversation between the two. Seeing that they had changed the subject, he spoke up to bring the topic back to the original topic.
"Is this him you are talking about the grandson of Brother He?"
"Want to know?" Qu Tao had a wicked smile on his face. Seeing Xi's father nodded, he said mischievously, "I won't tell you." "
You kid..." Xi's father pretended to be angry, "I think you should go back to live tonight. Staying here will only make me angry."
"No, I'm staying here tonight."
Xi's father couldn't get any useful information from Qu Tao, so he turned to Xi Mozhou with a kind face.
"Mozhou, were you talking about your uncle He's grandson just now?"
"Dad, my back hurts. The soles of your shoes are still as bad as they were in the past."
"..." Father Xi looked back and forth at the two of them, gritted his teeth and sighed, "Okay, you two don't plan to tell me, right? I'll check it myself." It was
a weekend morning, and the wind was still howling, but the sun was bright and the sky was clear.
Qu Tao put on his coat and looked at Xi Mozhou who was helping him straighten his collar: "I have nothing to do today, do you want to go see my aunt together?"
"Okay, next Saturday, we'll go to City A."
The plan did not change quickly. Qu Tao and Xi Mozhou were having breakfast, and the housekeeper who was directing the servants to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard hurried in.
"Master, Mr. Mu is here."
"Oh...", Mr. Xi, who was sitting at the table, immediately took out a tissue and walked to the living room while wiping his mouth, "Please come in."
After Mr. Xi left the restaurant, Qu Tao looked at Du Mozhou across the table in confusion: "Who is Mr. Mu?"
"Mu Jingyan's father."
"Ah...", Qu Tao paused for a few seconds, and looked at him as if he had suddenly realized something, "Is your company still trying to snatch orders from Yinfeng? Is he here to complain to you, master?"
"I don't know."
"Does Mr. Mu have a good relationship with your uncle?"
"Not bad now."
Earlier, the economy of the tobacco market was not as prosperous as it is now. Mr. Mu and Mr. Xi were competitors and partners.
They were both in the tobacco market business circle, and after more than 20 years, they have established some friendship.
Especially in the past few years when the company was completely handed over to the younger generation, the two often made appointments to go fishing and play chess together.
Qu Tao pondered for a moment and discussed with Xi Mozhou.
"It's all in the past. Why don't you stop it and don't make it too difficult for the old man."
"Let's talk about it later. Let's go out and take a look."
Old President Mu did come for this matter, but he didn't come to complain, but to plead.
If he hadn't seen the injury on Mu Jingyan's face last night, he wouldn't have thought of coming so early.
He sent someone to investigate the past between Xi Mozhou and Mu Jingyan, and also sorted out the ins and outs of it.
The reason why he turned a blind eye to the suppression of Difeng these days was that he wanted to teach his son a lesson. He
was over 30 and didn't look for a partner or get married. He finally fell in love, but it turned out to be greedy for someone else's daughter-in-law.
The most important thing is that this other person is none other than the Xi family of Difeng.
Since he couldn't get what he wanted, he should just give up. He didn't expect that his disappointing son would slander and spread rumors to reporters and ruin the reputation of others.
Although he felt heartbroken when he saw that Yinfeng, which he had worked so hard to build, was suppressed by Difeng, he also wanted to let Xi Mozhou vent his anger before talking to Mr. Xi.
"Why didn't you call in advance? It's windy today, not suitable for fishing. Have you eaten? The whole plate?"
Seeing his old friend coming, Xi's father had a smile on his face. Compared with him, Mu's father seemed much more unnatural.
"Am I here early? Haven't you finished your meal yet?"
"I have. When I get old, I can't eat much. I'm full after just a few bites." After ordering someone to get his best tea, Father Xi motioned to Father Mu to go to the glass room, "It's warm there. Let's go there to drink tea."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Father Mu followed Father Xi and stopped when he saw Qu Tao and Xi Mozhou coming out of the restaurant.
"You are so lucky, brother. Both of your sons are at home with you."
"Isn't it." Father Xi was smiled at the compliment. "An old fortune teller said that I would be blessed when I am old. Unexpectedly, he was right."
"Yes, you can tell at a glance that you are a blessed person." Father Mu thought of his naughty son who was always causing trouble recently, and sighed secretly in his heart. "Have you set a date for the wedding of these two children?"
"Not yet. Let them decide for themselves. I won't interfere." After
Father Xi finished speaking, he thought of something and waved to Qu Tao: "Taotao, come here, meet your uncle Mu."
The son is the son and the father is the father. Although Qu Tao doesn't like Mu Jingyan, he still shows courtesy to Mu's father.
"Hello, Uncle Mu."
"Mr. Qu from Yuanhang, right?"
"Yeah."
"He's good-looking and capable," said Mu's father, sizing up Qu Tao, and then jokingly said to Xi Mozhou, "You brought such a good man home. I guess your dad will be so happy that he will wake up even in his sleep."
"Indeed." Xi Mozhou agreed, not at all modest.
Xi's father glanced at Xi Mozhou, and again called for people to go to the glass room. After the two old men sat down, Qu Tao and Xi Mozhou followed them in.
When Mu's father saw Xi's father sitting down, he immediately fiddled with the chessboard and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Play later. Actually, I came here today because I have something serious to discuss."
Mu's father's expression suddenly became serious. Xi's father nodded and withdrew his hand.
"Okay, talk about whatever you want to talk about. We can play after we're done."
"It's actually about the children," said Mu's father, looking at Xi Mozhou. "Mozhou, I know you and Jingyan have had some conflicts these days, and he doesn't do things reasonably, so you suppressed Yinfeng, and I pretended not to see it, so that he can learn a lesson."
Xi Mozhou didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue. Mu's father seemed to think for a few seconds before speaking again.
"But... you shouldn't do it!"
After all, it's his own child, and seeing the bruises on his face, it's hard not to feel distressed.
Mu's father didn't get anything out of Mu Jingyan, and thought of his recent disagreement with Xi Mozhou, so he came here early in the morning.
Without waiting for Xi Mozhou to say anything, Qu Tao looked at Xi Mozhou, then at Mu's father, his face full of confusion.
"Fought? What do you mean? We didn't fight?"
"You didn't fight? What about the wound on Jing Yan's face? And the blood on his clothes..." Mu's father stopped talking halfway, "No, I may have misunderstood."
What is called desperate to seek medical help, Mu's father regretted that he had come to the door without doing a thorough investigation.
"Brother, I'm sorry for today, I have something urgent to deal with, bring Jing Yan over another day and apologize."
Mu's father stood up hurriedly, and Xi Mozhou stood up and blocked his way.
"Uncle, where is Mu Jingyan now?"
"I..." When he got up in the morning, Mu Jingyan went out, and he didn't know, "Wait, I'll call Secretary Lin to ask."
"Hospital? Which hospital?" Mu's father raised his voice to the other end of the phone, "Why is he in the hospital?"
Secretary Lin hurriedly explained when he heard that Mu's father had misunderstood his meaning.
"Mr. Mu is fine. It was the boy who was with Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu came to the hospital to see him."
