Chapter 1468 1588, Fate

Shu Xin didn't notice Mu Ningjing's strangeness, and took the lead to greet him, "Mayor, I'm very happy that you can do me a favor." After saying that, she looked at Yu Anna next to the man. She always felt that this woman looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was for a while? She asked with a smile: "I wonder who this is?"

Mu Yiqing's stunned eyes retracted from Mu Ningjing's face. After all, he was a person who had been in the officialdom for a long time. Even if his heart was full of ups and downs, his face could be calm and indifferent.

Mu Yiqing turned his head to look at Yu Anna and introduced her to Shu Xin, "This is my daughter." Then he introduced her to Yu Anna, "Anna, this is Mrs. Huo."

Yu Anna smiled and greeted Shu Xin, and then her eyes fell on Mu Ningjing, who was pale, and said, "Hello, my name is Yu Anna, and I'm glad to see you again."

Again?

Shu Xin turned to look at Mu Ningjing, "Ningning, do you know Miss Yu?"

Mu Ningjing was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Yu Anna answered very frankly, "I met Miss Mu at Tingxi's place, and we actually met Mrs. Huo once."

Shu Xin's heart skipped a beat, Shen Tingxi? Could it be that the mayor's daughter also had an affair with Shen Tingxi? He was puzzled, but his face was full of smiles. "Take a seat first, and we'll talk slowly."

Several people sat down.

Shu Xin naturally wouldn't ask when she had met Yu Anna. She would know when she asked Mu Ningjing.

Several people exchanged polite greetings first, and then Shu Xin started to talk about business, "Is the mayor unwilling to cooperate with our company because he is not satisfied with the price?"

Mu Yiqing pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He naturally couldn't say that he changed his mouth because he was pestered by Yu Anna. He glanced at Mu Ningjing, who had been sitting quietly with her head down, and a strange color flashed across his eyes, so fast that there was no trace, "Let's talk about this later, let's eat first."

The tone was light, revealing a hint of alienation.

Shu Xin smiled and nodded, but cursed the mayor as an old sly man in her heart, but he didn't refuse outright, which meant that there was still room for maneuver, which was also good news.

Yu Anna glanced at Mu Ningjing with a smile on her lips. Mu Yiqing had already agreed to her. This time, she only revealed one piece of news during the meal, that is, the project cannot be easily signed and needs to be considered again.

She wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Mu Ningjing, let Mu Ningjing come to her and beg her, and then she would use this project to make Mu Ningjing leave Shen Tingxi.

Shu Xin was pregnant, and after toasting Mu Yiqing with a drink instead of wine, Mu Ningjing also stood up to toast, "Mayor, I toast you."

Mu Yiqing's eyes fell on the two shallow swirls on Mu Ningjing's face, and asked casually, "Where is Miss Mu from?"

Mu Ningjing actually didn't like people asking her where she was from. Before her mother married Lu Zhiwen, she and her mother had always been the object of ridicule in her hometown, but when people asked, she couldn't help but answer, "Hucheng."

Mu Yiqing's eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help asking again: "What's your father's name?"

Mu Ningjing's face turned pale, as if someone had opened her scar, and it was bloody and painful. She didn't even know who her father was, so how could she know what her father's name was?

Yu Anna was so happy that she felt like she was gloating over someone else's misfortune. Mu Ningjing was an illegitimate daughter, and her father actually asked such a question. It was really awesome! He was worthy of being her biological father.

Shu Xin didn't expect Mu Yiqing to ask this question. This might be a very common question for others, but for Mu Ningjing, it was her pain. Shu Xin smiled and teased, "I didn't expect the mayor to be so interested in my subordinates?"

With a frivolous tone, such jokes are common at the dinner table, so naturally everyone would not take it seriously.

Mu Yiqing realized that he had lost his composure, stood up, and clinked glasses with Mu Ningjing. His tone was much gentler than when he just entered the door, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "My hometown is also in Hucheng. I thought I might know your father, so I asked one more question. I hope Miss Mu doesn't mind."

Mu Ningjing shook her head and drank the wine in the glass. The spiciness of the wine seemed to relieve the pain in her heart.

"So the mayor and Ningning are from the same hometown. You have to help her more in the future." Shu Xin saw that she was climbing up the ladder, so she didn't talk about the project directly, but just kept this relationship.

Mu Yiqing nodded, "Sure."

Because of this little episode, the atmosphere of the meal was obviously much better later, especially the mayor's attitude. When he first came in, he was indifferent and serious, but later he was friendly and cheerful, as if he had changed into a different person.

After dinner, when they walked to the door and were about to leave, Mu Yiqing suddenly turned around and looked at Shu Xin, "Mrs. Huo, I want to talk to Miss Mu alone. Is it convenient?"

Shu Xin was naturally willing. If Mu Ningjing became familiar with this fellow villager, it would be much easier for her to fight for projects in the city in the future, but she was not the kind of person who would ignore other people's feelings for business, especially Mu Ningjing, who was different from others in dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Shu Xin turned around and asked Mu Ningjing with her eyes: Is it okay?

Mu Ningjing nodded slightly. No matter what Mu Yiqing wanted to say to her, as long as she could help Shu Xin, she would spare no effort.

Seeing that Mu Ningjing was okay, Shuxin smiled and said to Mu Yiqing, "You guys chat. The fountain in Yuhe Building is famous for its spectacular scenery. I'll go take a look."

Mu Yiqing turned to look at Yu Anna, "Nana, you and Mrs. Huo go take a look together."

Yu Anna didn't like Shuxin. When Shen Tingxi was hospitalized, she went to the hospital to deliver food to Shen Tingxi. Shuxin treated her very badly. At first, she thought Shuxin was a love rival, but later she found out that Shuxin was helping Mu Ningjing to demonstrate to her. How could she like the friend of her love rival? "Dad, I won't go. I'll just wait for you here."

"Go ahead, I'll chat with Miss Mu and then I'll find you." Mu Yiqing said.

Yu Anna pouted unhappily, really wondering what he and Mu Ningjing had to talk about, weren't they just from the same hometown? There were many fellow villagers from Hucheng in Fancheng, and there was no shortage of Mu Ningjing, "I'll wait for you in the car."

After that, Yu Anna turned and left the box.

Mu Yiqing looked at Shu Xin with a little embarrassment, "My daughter is used to being spoiled, and Mrs. Huo is embarrassed."

Shu Xin smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, you guys chat, I'll go out first."

Mu Ningjing and Mu Yiqing were the only ones left in the box.

Mu Ningjing was not very good at getting along with people, especially when she was alone with a man, and this man was Yu Anna's father, so she was subconsciously a little nervous and a little uncomfortable.

Mu Yiqing, on the other hand, was very easy-going, "Miss Mu, please sit down."

Mu Ningjing sat down two seats away from Mu Yiqing, thinking that the other party was the mayor, and now she had something to ask of him, she should take the initiative to liven up the atmosphere. She was thinking about what to say in her heart, and the other party spoke first.

"Although there are many people with the surname Mu in Hucheng, they are not everywhere. It is a great fate that we can meet in Fancheng and have the same surname."
