Now that things have happened, he has nothing to hide.
"My adoptive father told you that your mother and I are old friends. After your mother left, I saw you were often alone, and I felt pity for you, so I gave you a hand."
Mu Jingchen looked at him intently.
"You and my mother are just old friends?"
Quan Zhengrong raised his eyebrows.
"Jingchen, what do you mean by this?"
Having said this, Mu Jingchen said bluntly: "If my adoptive father was just an old friend of my mother, he wouldn't be so interested in me, and there would be no need to hand over a property as big as the Quan family to an unrelated person. relationship people.¡±
Quan Zhengrong¡¯s eyes darkened slightly, with an unnatural expression on his face after being exposed.
After a few seconds of silence.
He looked at Mu Jingchen's scrutinizing gaze and admitted, "You are right. Your mother and I are not just old friends. To be precise, I was her admirer when she was young."
Mu Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous look in his cold eyes.
Quan Zhengrong noticed the coldness in his eyes and immediately explained.
"Jingchen, don't get me wrong, I don't have any evil thoughts towards your mother. I know she belongs in my heart and I have never expected to be with her.
When I was young, I always stayed by her side in the name of a friend and never did anything out of line. Your mother never knew what I thought of her.
As for helping you, I just want to do my best to make her feel at ease no matter where she is.
"However, you don't have to think too much. Your achievements today are all due to your own ability and understanding. At most, I played a role in fueling the flames.
I never thought that the Dihua Group and the Quan family would have the status they have in country Z. After all, my adoptive father has to thank you. "
His words did not make the coldness in Mu Jingchen's eyes fade away.
Knowing that his adoptive father was actually his mother's former admirer, he felt an indescribable sense of alienation.
The kindness his foster father treated him was all because of his mother.
Knowing this, his face was filled with indifference.
He does not need any gifts from that woman, even if these gifts come from other people related to her.
"There is no need to thank me. If I had known that you accepted me as your adopted son because of her, I would not have anything to do with you."
His emotionless words fell on Quan Zhengrong¡¯s ears.
Quan Zhengrong was not surprised.
He knew the gap in Mu Jingchen's heart and could understand his unhappiness.
"Jingchen, actually, your mother"
Midway through his words, Mu Jingchen shot him with a cold-dagger look.
"I don't want to hear another word about her from you."
Quan Zhengrong understands his temper.
If we go any further, the relationship between the two as foster father and son may be difficult to maintain.
After hesitation, he did not continue the topic, but sighed deeply.
"Okay, let's not say it anymore, but my adoptive father just hopes that you don't think too much about it. Although you are not my biological son, I have treated you as my own son over the years, and you can feel it.
I adopted you as my adopted son, not just because of your mother, but more because I think you are different from ordinary children. You were young at that time, and the maturity and strength in your eyes deeply attracted me.
After so many years, in my adoptive father's heart, you are no different from my biological son. My adoptive father hopes that you can forget the unhappiness of the past and live happily. "
Mu Jingchen could tell that his adoptive father spoke from the bottom of his heart.
¡°If I hadn¡¯t felt my adoptive father¡¯s sincere treatment over the years, I would have broken up with him when I learned that he was my mother¡¯s former admirer.
¡°That¡¯s it, don¡¯t mention the past anymore.¡±
He didn¡¯t want to hear anything about his mother anymore, so he got rid of the topic in one sentence.
Quan Zhengrong nodded and did not continue.
"Forget it, Jingchen, come, my adoptive father will drink tea instead of wine. I wish you better and better days in the future!"
After saying that, he raised the tea cup and sent it forward.
Mu Jingchen glanced at the tea in front of him, picked it up and touched it with him.
"Thank you, foster father."
The two of them put the tea cups into their mouths in perfect sync.
Just at this time, Lin Ze suddenly walked in and shouted: "Mr. Mu!"
Quan Zhengrong¡¯s eyes were immediately attracted to Lin Ze.
At this moment, Mu Jingchen took out a square towel from his windbreaker pocket, wiped his lips, and unknowingly put it in his mouth.spit out the tea.
After putting the handkerchief into his pocket, he put down the teacup and looked at Lin Ze.
"how?"
Lin Ze took a piece of information and handed it to him.
"Mr. Mu, there is an emergency contract that needs your signature to verify."
Mu Jingchen took the information and read it carefully.
After checking that everything was correct, I signed the contract.
Quan Zhengrong kept watching his movements, his eyes inadvertently passing over the tea cup in front of him.
Seeing that the tea cup was empty, he withdrew his eyes with satisfaction.
Soon, Lin Ze put away the information and left the hall.
Seeing that it was getting late, Quan Zhengrong smiled and said, "Jingchen, it's late. You have to get up early to go to the company tomorrow, so go upstairs and rest first!"
Mu Jingchen didn¡¯t say much, he nodded and said, ¡°Well, foster father, you should also rest early.¡±
After saying that, he gathered his coat and went upstairs.
Quan Zhengrong saw him entering the room, and then looked at the other end of the corridor upstairs.
"Huangfu Liyue" was standing there, nodding towards him.
¡
The room upstairs.
Mu Jingchen smelled a faint fragrance as soon as he entered the door.
He closed the door and walked straight into the bathroom.
After taking a bath, a strong feeling of tiredness suddenly came over me.
He turned off the light and went to bed, quickly falling asleep.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the room gradually opened.
A woman wearing only a bath towel walked in.
Relying on the faint moonlight in the room, she walked step by step to the bed.
Looking at Mu Jingchen who was sleeping soundly on the bed, she raised her hand and lightly traced his face with her fingertips.
His handsome face looks even more delicate and attractive under the hazy moonlight.
She leaned down and wanted to kiss him on the lips.
But remembering her previous failures, she stopped, took out the black medicine bottle Quan Zhengrong had given her before, and placed it on the tip of Mu Jingchen's nose for more than ten seconds.
"In this medicine bottle, there is an extremely strong medicine that can enhance people's desire.
"As long as it is inhaled by someone, it will be like being poisoned and you will be unable to control yourself.
The only way is to find someone to ¡°detoxify¡± you!
After the medicine bottle stayed on the tip of Mu Jingchen's nose for more than ten seconds, he really reacted.
He seemed to feel the heat, and he frowned and pulled away the quilt on his body.
"Huangfu Liyue" sitting beside the bed was a little excited.
She put down the medicine bottle, put her lips to his ear, and shouted in an extremely gentle voice: "Jingchen"
Mu Jingchen seemed to have heard her call and turned sideways, unconsciously tugging on the bathrobe with his hands.
She knew that the medicine was taking effect.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she continued to tease him in his ear.
"Jingchen, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Mu Jingchen tugged on his bathrobe tightly and murmured unconsciously: "It's hot" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
