The husband I got is actually the heir to a wealthy family

Is there really a big shot behind Mu Ningxi?

Frightened by his own thoughts, Meng Tianbo was unwilling to delve further into the matter.

There has been no response from Gu Ping yet, and it is obvious that he has not settled the matter.

Meng Tianbo quickly packed himself up and prepared to go out to the company.

Escape is not a solution. I have to go there in person and discuss with Gu Ping to resolve the issue.

Before leaving, Meng Tianbo's cell phone rang. After taking a look at the caller ID, Meng Tianbo took a deep breath and answered the call.

"You little brat, you never do your job but just go around looking for girls and women. Now you've made a big mess. I tell you, if you don't settle this, you can't be the chairman anymore."

On the phone, I heard my father Meng Xianzhang's furious voice.

What is coming will always come.

Meng Tianbo's eyes were cold, but his tone was concerned: "Dad, don't be angry, your health is important, I will definitely take care of this matter."

"It may take you ten days, half a month, or even a year to deal with it, but Meng's stocks won't take you long to waste."

"Don't think I don't know. Some time ago, you and Mu Xin'er were exposed online. It was just that it didn't have much impact on our Meng Group at the time, so I didn't say anything. I didn't expect you to do this to me again today."

"What's so good about the two sisters of the Mu family? You chose the elder sister and then the younger sister. Mu Ningxi was helpful to the Meng family before, so I turned a blind eye. It was rare for me to manage you. But this Mu Xiner is really not good. She caused such a big trouble before she even got married. Tianbo, you should think it over carefully."

"Also, I'll give you a week to sort out your mess. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Meng Xianzhang finished speaking and hung up the phone.

If the Meng and Mu families didn't have an engagement, would I have known these two sisters?

Holding the hung up phone, Meng Tianbo felt a little aggrieved.

Forget it, let’s talk about these later. The most urgent priority is to deal with the online issues.

Meng Tianbo knew clearly that his father was a man of his word, and if he did not handle the matter within a week, his position as chairman of the Meng Group would be over.

At this time, if Mu Ningxi was by my side, she would definitely help me come up with a solution.

Meng Tianbo once again couldn't help but think of the days when he fought side by side with Mu Ningxi.

Mu Ningxi woke up in the morning, turned on her mobile phone, and briefly browsed the hot searches of the day. After pausing briefly in front of the news about Meng Tianbo and Mu Xiner, she turned off the phone screen.

Other people's affairs have nothing to do with her. What she should do now is to take Huo's retail performance to the next level.

As the newly appointed Marketing Director, Mu Ningxi required herself to achieve some results to convince those who were previously dissatisfied with her appointment as Marketing Director.

Wearing a professional suit and high heels, Mu Ningxi entered the office and started busy mode.

She was busy until her secretary came in and asked her to have lunch. Mu Ningxi was surprised to realize that another half day had passed.

In the Huo's cafeteria, Mu Ningxi prepared her meal and found a secluded corner to sit down. She took out her cell phone and was about to watch a TV series when Cheng Jingjing called.

"Ning Xi, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?" Cheng Jingjing is going to Bincheng to film a movie tomorrow, which will probably take several months. Before leaving, she wants to ask Mu Ningxi out for dinner.

"Just the two of us?" Thinking of the embarrassment of meeting Huo Beichen last night, Mu Ningxi asked.

Instantly understanding Mu Ningxi's intention, Cheng Jingjing responded with a smile on the other end of the phone: "Yes, just the two of us."

After a pause, Cheng Jingjing added, "My cousin has an appointment tonight and won't be with us."

Why are you mentioning your cousin in front of me for no reason?

Mu Ningxi felt that Cheng Jingjing said this on purpose.

Could it be that Huo Beichen has already told Jingjing about my relationship with him?

That shouldn't be the case. He didn't ask for the secret marriage and he is not the type of person who goes back on his word.

After some psychological preparation, Mu Ningxi readily accepted Cheng Jingjing's invitation.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Jingjing recalled Mu Ningxi's previous questions and felt very happy.

Huo Beichen, you are rejected by your wife again.

The more Cheng Jingjing thought about it, the more she felt that she should share this news with someone.

The next second, Huo Beichen received a voice message from Cheng Jingjing on his phone: "I made an appointment with my cousin's wife to have dinner together tonight, and she actually said she didn't want you to be there."

Cheng Jingjing expressed Mu Ningxi's meaning based on her own understanding.

One minute after the voice message was sent, there was no response. Cheng Jingjing continued unwillingly, "Don't pretend you didn't hear it. It must be hard to be disliked by your own wife. Hahahaha!"

This time I sent it, but there was still no response from the other side.

"Huo Beichen, you coward!" Cheng Jingjing was angry.

A red dot appeared on the phone, along with a text message: The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party.

Huo Beichen, you actually dared to block me.

Looking at the phone, Cheng Jingjing let out a long beep.

After get off work, Mu Ningxi came to the steak house where she had made an appointment with Cheng Jingjing.

"It's really hard to be a celebrity. You have to hide even when you have a meal." Mu Ningxi sighed as she sat in the private room reserved by Cheng Jingjing.

Cheng Jingjing nodded with approval in her eyes.

But the next second, she said nonchalantly, "But I just like filming. I can endure any kind of suffering for the sake of filming."

Shocked by the gleam in Cheng Jingjing's eyes, Mu Ningxi remained silent, thinking to herself, this is the professionalism that an actor should have. Compared with Jingjing, Mu Xiner is really a clown.

Mu Xiner wanted to be an actor simply to show off in front of others. She had no passion for acting at all.

In her heart, Mu Ningxi liked Cheng Jingjing even more.

The two chatted and laughed while finishing their meal. When they said goodbye, Cheng Jingjing received a call from her aunt: "Aunt, don't panic, I'll be there soon."

"What happened?" Looking at Cheng Jingjing who looked anxious, Mu Xiner asked with concern.

Cheng Jingjing glanced at her and responded, "Something happened at my aunt's house. Ning Xi, accompany me there and we can talk while we walk."

Out of concern for her friend, Mu Ningxi accepted Cheng Jingjing's request without realizing that the aunt she was talking about was Huo Beichen's mother.

After getting in the car, Mu Ningxi realized this belatedly, but the car had already started and she had no time to change her mind.

"My aunt has a son and a daughter, and you saw them the other day, cousin. My cousin went on an expedition with her husband two years ago and unfortunately died, leaving behind a son."

In the car, Cheng Jingjing slowly told Mu Ningxi about Huo Beichen's family affairs.

"Since my cousin and her husband passed away, Zihao has become very withdrawn, doesn't talk, and basically doesn't interact with people. After the child's grandparents took him home and raised him for a while, they were unwilling to continue raising him and sent him to my aunt's house."

Zihao, that’s the child’s name, right?

Mu Ningxi thought silently in her heart and did not interrupt Cheng Jingjing.

"My aunt called just now and said that Zihao has locked himself in his room and has not come out for more than two hours. She was worried that something might happen, but she didn't dare to go in, so she called me. After all, I am the only one in the house who can be alone with Zihao for a while."

It turned out to be the case.

After listening to Cheng Jingjing's story, Mu Ningxi fell into deep thought. That child, like her, lost her parents at a very young age. A feeling of sympathy arose in Mu Ningxi's heart.

At this moment, she couldn't wait to see Zihao, just like seeing herself back then.

Mu Ningxi wanted to say to Zihao and herself back then: "After winter comes spring, everything will pass. Don't make your parents who are watching you in heaven sad."

When Mu Ningxi came to her senses, she found that the car had already driven into the territory of the villa halfway up the mountain.

The villas halfway up the mountain are where the wealthy people in Beijing gather. Those who live there are either rich or noble.

Just like the name of the villa, these villas start from the middle of the mountain and spread all the way to the top of the mountain, hence they are named Half Mountain Villas.

The higher the layers are, the more prominent the villa owner's status is.

The car stopped at the highest point of the mountain. Looking at the hollow relief gate, a question flashed through Mu Ningxi's mind: What exactly does Huo Beichen do, and why can his family live at the top of the villa halfway up the mountain?

"Ningxi, let's go in quickly." Before Mu Ningxi could think about it, Cheng Jingjing had already pulled her into the gate.

After passing through a long corridor full of flowers, Mu Ningxi saw a luxurious hall in front of him.

The magnificent design and glittering golden decorations highlight the high status of the owner of this house.

The hall was empty at this time.

Led by Cheng Jingjing, the two stopped in front of a room on the second floor.

Several servants were already standing in front of the door. A middle-aged woman who was well-dressed and looked haggard saw Cheng Jingjing and pulled her aside and said worriedly, "Jingjing, your uncle and cousin are not at home. I have no choice but to call you. Will it delay your arrangements?"
