C166 Forced (1/2)
”Granny Lin, don't be so fierce, wrinkles will appear, and then things will become ugly ~”
Lin's Mother's angry face instantly looked as if he ate a fly, and became unsettled. This kind of feeling was like using an extremely heavy iron fist to attack, but it actually hit a soft ball of cotton; it was very depressing.
Mu Xiaoxi had a face that was extremely similar to his own when he was young. When he looked at Lin's Mother with a smile, it was as if time had flowed backwards, and the cute, fair, and soft bag in front of him suddenly overlapped with Lin Shumo's face.
Lin's Mother stared at Mu Ziyao and Mu Xiaoxi with his dark and gloomy expression, the anger in his eyes quickly disappeared, he started calculating in his heart, a complicated expression flashed past his eyes, and although he opened his mouth to speak with a tone of voice, he had more or less recovered some reason, and was no longer living in tyranny.
”Mu Ziyao, give me a condition, how can I leave Calligraphy? This might be the only and the last time I'll be able to negotiate terms with you calmly. You can decide for yourself, as for the consequences of disobeying me …”
Mu Ziyao heard this and his eyes narrowed. Although this sentence seemed to be giving in, it was actually a threat that could be heard only by someone who was not retarded.
”Mrs. Lin, I have emphasized before, it is your son who cannot leave me, and it is not that I have never let go of him. If you have such a carefree time to waste arguing with me, you might as well have Lin Shumo stop looking for me, and it will be a piece of cake once and for all.”
Mu Ziyao stood tall and straight, his voice light yet clear as he jabbed his finger at Lin's Mother's chest, his heavy black eyes and the pair of old and healthy eyes staring straight at each other, thinking that this Lin Shumo was really troublesome, because he had not been able to rest in peace in the past few days.
Yes, yes, Granny Lin, Uncle Lin will look for your godmother every day, and will even make your godmother angry. Immediately after, Xiaoxi rubbed Mu Ziyao's leg like a puppy, trying to curry favor with him.
Lin's Mother saw that this whole thing was happening in unison. The anger she had suppressed previously flared up once again, and it ignited a burst of nameless anger. Following that, her face darkened.
”Since you refuse a toast and want to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. When that happens, it will not be as simple as losing your job …”
”Thank you Mrs. Lin for the high regard, then I will look forward to it. After all, this is not the first time you are trying to be a hindrance, is it?”
Mu Ziyao was already half a head taller than the Lin's Mother himself, and when he deliberately leaned towards her, he placed all of the pressure on her body. The light that flowed out of his eyes seemed to be able to see through the Lin's Mother.
Since she was unwilling to let him and Xiaoxi go, she naturally would not make the slightest of concessions.
Lin's Mother was speechless, her face was flushed red and she secretly noted this down for Mu Ziyao. This time, she would not let this woman go easily.
He turned around and walked out of the meeting room. The door creaked from the force of the slam.
Right at this moment, a short burst of noise came from outside the conference room before calming down, and the sound of the door handle twisting sounded out again. Lin Shumo seemed to have rushed over in a hurry, the aura on his body was not as strict as usual, revealing a little hurried and panicked, his ink-black hair was messily covering his forehead, and he was slightly out of breath.
”Just now …” ”Are you alright?”
Lin Shumo's tone was urgent, and his brows tightly knitted together. After receiving the news from his secretary, he rushed over like a madman. Only when he saw that the young and the old couple were safe and sound on the other side of the conference room did his rapidly beating heart calm down.
Thank you, Director Lin, for your concern. If there is nothing else, I will be going to work. As he spoke, he pulled Xiaoxi's hand and was about to walk out the door, with a cold expression on his face.
As Lin Shumo watched the large and small figure quickly walk in front of him, his eyes gradually narrowed as they tightly locked onto that stubborn figure. Just as Mu Ziyao was about to walk out of the conference room …
Xiaoxi still took a step and looked back three times, staring at him, incessantly chanting, her small mouth constantly opening and closing, causing people to love her dearly.
The moment Mu Ziyao was about to step out of the door, his sword-like eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he walked towards her side with large strides.
