Chapter 1471 1591, Signing

Gradually, relatives and friends began to look down on them. Seeing them was like seeing the plague, they hid far away, and the neighbors also pointed fingers at them behind their backs.

Grandma quarreled with neighbors over this several times, and then hid in the room and cried after returning home.

Grandpa would occasionally scold my mother when he saw this situation, mostly asking her who the irresponsible man was? Or scolding my mother for not living up to her expectations and embarrassing him, why did he give birth to such a useless thing... Then he would sit on a chair and sigh and smoke.

Every time my grandfather asked, my mother just cried and never hummed.

When she was nine years old, my mother took her away from Hucheng.

She expected that her mother would take her to find her father, but she didn't. She cried and asked her mother why she didn't take her to find her father? My mother didn't say anything, but just hugged her and cried heartbreakingly.

Since then, Mu Ningjing was afraid of making Zhao Xiangping sad, so she never asked about her father again.

Mu Ningjing never thought that she would hear something about her mother's relationship today, and asked impatiently: "Uncle Mu, have you been in touch with my mother? Do you know who my mother was with later?"

Mu Yiqing covered his eyes with his palms and rubbed his face vigorously. He didn't know if it was because of the wine, but his eyes were stained with some red bloodshot. He tightened his hand holding the cup, and because he was too strong, his joints turned slightly white.

After two seconds of silence, Mu Yiqing drank the wine in the cup, "We lost contact after graduating from college."

The light in Mu Ningjing's eyes disappeared instantly, and a faint loss climbed up her face.

Mu Yiqing saw that Mu Ningjing was sad, and felt uncomfortable like a knife in his heart. There were some words... he couldn't say.

"Let's not talk about this." Mu Yiqing waved his hand to change the subject, "Did you bring the contract? Let's sign it."

The topic changed too quickly, and Mu Ningjing was a little unable to react, and handed the contract to Mu Yiqing woodenly.

Mu Yiqing didn't even look at the contract. He took out a pen from his suit pocket, turned to the last page, and signed his name.

Mu Ningjing saw the name on the contract and realized that the project had been won.

So easy to win?

"Don't you want to take a look at the contract?"

Mu Yiqing smiled, "We have discussed the contract before, right? And I trust you."

It feels good to be trusted. Mu Ningjing's previous melancholy mood has improved a lot because of signing this contract. "Thank you, Mayor..."

"Huh? Still call me Mayor?" Mu Yiqing seemed to interrupt Mu Ningjing unhappily.

Mu Ningjing curled her lips slightly and changed her words, "Thank you Uncle Mu for your trust. Our company will definitely design this project well and will not let you down."

Mu Yiqing nodded, and the two sat and chatted for a while. Mu Ningjing didn't like to talk much, and it was basically Mu Yiqing who talked more.

Mu Yiqing looked at the quiet Mu Ningjing and smiled, "Ningning, you are so quiet, it's not good to run sales."

Mu Ningjing blushed with embarrassment. She usually followed Shuxin, or with colleagues. She had never faced customers alone, especially the opposite sex.

If it weren't for the fact that Mu Yiqing and she were from the same hometown, and she was her mother's first love, and someone who had a relationship with her mother, she would feel particularly close, otherwise she would talk less and be quieter.

Mu Yiqing saw Mu Ningjing blushing and lowering her head, looking like a cicada, and hurriedly said: "Uncle has no other meaning, just hope you can be more lively, so that you can live happily."

Mu Ningjing saw the worry in Mu Yiqing's eyes, knowing that he really cared about her, and nodded, "I will try hard."

Mu Yiqing thought of what Yu Anna said to him yesterday. Mu Ningjing was bullied by her stepfather at a young age. Mu Yiqing's heart was like being put in a meat grinder and was so painful that it was difficult to breathe.

Pick up the wine glass and pour it into your mouth one by one, as if this would make it better.

Mu Ningjing frowned slightly and looked at Mu Yiqing, saying in a worried tone: "Uncle Mu, drink slowly, drinking like this is harmful to your health."

Mu Yiqing paused as he was about to pour the wine into his mouth. Looking at Mu Ningjing's concerned eyes, his vision instantly became cloudy. In just a moment, he lowered his eyelids, hiding his surging emotions in his eyes, and put the wine glass in his hand on the table.

She cares about him!

Mu Yiqing raised his hand to block his eyebrows and eyes, pinched his brow bone hard, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and looked at Mu Ningjing again, with a smile in his eyes, "Ningning, let your uncle take care of you instead of your mother in the future, okay?"

Mu Ningjing didn't expect Mu Yiqing to say such a thing. It was too sudden. He was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I don't mean anything else, it's just..." Mu Yiqing was a little nervous when she saw Mu Ningjing didn't speak, "You can come to me anytime if you have anything. We can have a meal and talk together when we have time. Don't treat me as the mayor, let alone a customer, but as a relative or friend, as an elder, okay?"

Mu Ningjing's heart was boiling with heat, she lowered her head and twisted her hands tightly. She had never felt such care from her elders except her mother. This feeling was very strange, making her a little at a loss, but also very happy.

Mu Yiqing thought Mu Ningjing didn't want to, and she was disappointed in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say it..."

"I do." Mu Ningjing looked up suddenly.

Mu Yiqing was shocked to see that Mu Ningjing's eyes were full of tears, and her heart ached, "Why are you crying?"

Mu Ningjing hurriedly wiped her tears, smiled and shook her head, "I'm just... too happy..."

"Silly child." Mu Yiqing felt a sour taste in his mouth. How much suffering did this child have to endure to be so happy because of his words? He became more and more determined in his heart to take good care of her in the future.

After the two finished their meal, Mu Yiqing wanted to send Mu Ningjing back to the company. Mu Ningjing refused. She didn't want to delay Mu Yiqing's work, but Mu Yiqing insisted. She looked stern and seemed to be angry. Finally, Mu Ningjing had to nod and agree.

Back to the company, Mu Ningjing gave the contract to Shu Xin. Shu Xin was so scared when she saw the contract that she stood up from her seat and looked at Mu Ningjing anxiously, "What did you promise Yu Anna?"

Mu Ningjing shook her head, "Yu Anna didn't go when the contract was signed."

Shu Xin was a little surprised. Did she guess wrong yesterday? Didn't Yu Anna want to embarrass Mu Ningjing? Why did the mayor ask Mu Ningjing to go by name?

Shu Xin suddenly thought of something, and her heart was hanging. "Yesterday I saw the mayor's eyes drifting towards you from time to time. Could it be that he has some impure thoughts about you?"

Mu Ningjing frowned awkwardly, "Shu Xin, actually..."

"Nowadays, rich and powerful people like to keep a mistress outside. Ningning, you are so beautiful and your personality is not ostentatious. Officials like you the most. If they think they are bullying you, you won't hum." Shu Xin was completely immersed in her own imagination, and she became more and more angry. "Yesterday Mu Yiqing said that he was from the same hometown as you. Maybe he just wanted to get close to you and let you let down your guard. Then he took the initiative to ask you out today and used his power to embarrass you and let you fall into his trap, right?"
