The time of the city

Chapter 117 Qiao Mu Returns Home

On the way back to Qiao's compound, Qiao Mu was in an extremely irritable mood. He opened the car window and a cold wind immediately blew in, which was much colder than usual.

It looks like it's really going to snow today. I should have told her to wear thicker clothes this morning.

After arriving home, Qiao Mu pushed open the door and saw a room full of people sitting neatly on the sofa. It seemed that his whole family had been forced to join in, and he felt like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

He threw the car keys on the coffee table, casually fell on the sofa beside him, crossed his legs and asked, "Why did you ask me to come back?"

Qiao Wenbin kicked his calf and said, "Put your legs down. Your grandfather is sitting here. What do you look like?"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to argue with you, grandpa is here."

"Is this how you talk to your dad? If your grandfather wasn't here, I would beat you to death."

"Okay, Binzi, I'll go talk to Amu." Qiao Zhengxing lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, grabbed Qiao Mu's hand and held it in his, and said calmly:

"Xiao Mu, your uncle said that you and his grandson's wife have been very close recently?"

"Grandpa, don't listen to his nonsense. Lin Xiao and Qiao Feng have already broken up. It's none of his business whether I'm dating her or not. Besides, didn't you and my uncle break up a long time ago?"

Qiao Wenbin was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped Qiao Mu on the forehead. "You still want to date her? Even if Qiao Feng breaks up with her, it won't be your turn. Because of you and Lin Xiao, Qiao Feng's grandfather called to warn your grandfather several times. Do you really want to destroy our Qiao family's foundation?"

"Dad, I like Lin Xiao and I want to be with her. As for family matters, I'm not a great man and I can't take care of so many things."

"Asshole," Qiao Zhengxing pounded the ground vigorously with his cane. "What drug have you been fed? How can you say such outrageous words? Our family is already so far behind your great-uncle's family. Not only do you not know how to work hard, but you also want to push the whole family into the fire pit?"

"Grandpa, you once said that my great-uncle relied on crooked means to get to where he is today. Do you want me to be like that too? Now I just want to be with the person I love. I can leave the family affairs to my brother."

After saying that, Qiao Mu picked up the car keys on the coffee table and was about to leave, but suddenly he felt a headache and fainted.

Qiao Wenbin put the car keys into his bag and turned to the servants, saying, "Carry him into the room. No one is allowed to let him out without my permission. You guys keep a close watch on him."

After Qiao Mu was carried away, Qiao Zhengxing stood up and stumbled towards the study. "Wenbin will send Xiao Mu abroad in a few days. Don't let him cause any trouble."

"Got it, Dad."

"Wenbin, you are too harsh on Xiaomu. If you talk to him nicely, he will listen. Don't send him abroad." Yu Lan wiped her tears.

"It's you who spoiled the child like this. Look at how careless he is. Awen, help your mother go upstairs to rest." After saying that, Qiao Wenbin stormed out of the villa.

During class, Mo Yu saw that Lin Xiao was neither playing games nor listening to the lecture, but just staring at her phone motionlessly.

"Xiaoxiao, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so listless?" she asked in a low voice.

"That damn guy Qiao Mu didn't keep his word, and even after so much time, he still hasn't apologized to me."

It turned out that she was still upset about Qiao Mu. Mo Yu took out a bag of dried fruits from her bag and put it on her desk. "Qiao Mu said he was busy. This is not like you. I have never seen you angry for so long because of anything. Okay, okay, don't be angry. Eat something sweet and you'll feel better."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao completely wilted. She lay on the table and sighed deeply, "You don't understand my sadness."

In the office, Ni Jiamu signed his name neatly on the document brought by his secretary.

"Tell Liu Yue from the marketing department to double her bonus this month, and tell her not to knit during work hours."

The secretary nodded and said, "Mr. Ni, you have an appointment tonight. Mr. Jin has to go back to China tomorrow, so it has been rescheduled to today."

Ni Jiamu turned to look out the window. The sky was gloomy and gray everywhere. "Do you think it will snow today?"

"Mr. Ni, I don't know either, but the weather forecast says City A will have its first snow around 7pm."

"The meeting time with President Jin has been changed to 5 pm."

The classes during the final week are always extremely full. After finishing a day's classes, Mo Yu stretched herself and then pulled the listless Lin Xiao up from her seat.

"School is over, Xiaoxiao is leaving."

"I thought there were classes later."

When they left the classroom, a strong gust of cold wind blew in their faces. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shiver. "Why is it so cold? I have to go home and get warm in bed right away."

"Won't you have dinner with me?"

"Someone's here to eat with you." Lin Xiao raised her chin, and following her gaze, Mo Yu saw Nan Feng, who was smiling brightly across the street. He stood there straight, with clear eyes and a straight figure. He was a rare handsome young man.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Go on a date with your brother Nanfeng. Remember not to be discovered by brother Jiamu." After saying that, Lin Xiao got into a taxi parked on the side of the road.

The green light came on, and Nan Feng walked straight towards her. "I calculated that a primary school student will be out of school at six o'clock."

Mo Yu straightened the scarf around her neck and said, "I'm a college student."

"Do college students still like to eat chocolate now?" Nan Feng took out a piece of chocolate from his bag, just like when they first met fifteen years ago.

"I like it." Mo Yu took the chocolate, put it in her pocket and walked forward.

Nan Feng caught up with him and asked, "Why is it still the same as before?"

Mo Yu was not as cheerful as Lin Xiao. As they walked, she didn't know what to say. She could only secretly glance at the man next to her. Nan Feng had a good appearance, a tall and slender figure, and a heroic look between his eyebrows. He was handsome in a different way from Ni Jiamu.

Noticing the girl's gaze, Nan Feng turned his head. Mo Yu met his burning gaze directly and her face immediately turned red.

"Xiaoyu didn't say anything but she was secretly looking at me. Has Brother Nanfeng become more handsome?"

"You've changed a lot. If it weren't for the scar on your neck I wouldn't have recognized you."

"Then I have to thank you for fighting with someone for the potatoes and getting burned."

Mo Yu pinched his waist, and Nan Feng laughed breathlessly, "Why do you always use this trick?"

"You're so tall, and I can't beat you. Your waist is the most sensitive point, so I'm going to attack your weak spot."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. Come on, I'll take you to dinner."
