He put down the phone and glanced at the clock on the opposite wall. The clock was already pointing to 11 o’clock.
After thinking for a while, Mu Tangchuan could only get up. He took the coat beside him with one hand, took the car keys, and left the office.
When the Jeep drove into the Mu family’s old residence, it was already an hour later.
“Master Chuan is back!”
The butler smiled when he saw Mu Tangchuan’s figure.
“Uncle Xu!”
Uncle Xu was very old and had watched Mu Yinan grow up. He used to serve the Mu family’s old master and was a very loyal servant. Mu Tangchuan respected him very much.
“Hurry up and go in. We’ve been waiting for a long time.”
Uncle Xu smiled.
Mu Tangchuan nodded and walked in as well.
Just as he reached the door, he heard a burst of laughter.
When he walked in, he realized that his parents were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Mu Yinan and Wang Hui were sitting on the sofa beside them. A couple of the same age was sitting on the sofa beside them. This was not the most surprising thing, what surprised him the most was the woman in a light blue dress who was sitting next to the couple.
She looked very familiar to him.
Mu Tangchuan thought for a moment and realized that this woman was the woman he had met at the Hai Tian Nightclub a few months ago.
The woman’s face seemed to be a little tense. Mu Tangchuan stared at her for a moment. He could actually see a hint of shame and anger in her eyes. Of course, there was also helplessness!
Mu Tangchuan immediately understood. She should also be a little against this kind of matchmaking, right?
Yes, it was a matchmaking session!
Mu Tangchuan understood as soon as he walked in.
“Tangchuan is back!”
Upon hearing the footsteps, Mu Yinan and Wang Hui turned around and looked at Mu Tangchuan. The couple’s faces were filled with smiles.
“Tangchuan, come, let me introduce you. This is your Uncle Zhuang, Father’s business partner. This is your Aunt, and this is their daughter, Zhuang Shurong. Come and greet her.”
Was this a marriage alliance?
Mu Tangchuan immediately frowned.
“Uncle, Aunt, Miss Zhuang, nice to meet you. I’m Mu Tangchuan.”
After a while, Mu Tangchuan removed his coat from his shoulders and went forward to greet him.
“Good, good! Brother Yinan, your son is indeed a good-looking man. He’s handsome and capable. I heard that he’s amazing now, not to mention in the future. He’s indeed a dragon among men.”
Father Zhuang was obviously very satisfied with Mu Tangchuan.
Mrs. Zhuang nodded in satisfaction as she looked at her husband. The smiles on their faces were very friendly.
Mu Tangchuan cleared his throat and the couple finally looked away. They smiled awkwardly and said, “Tangchuan, Uncle can call you that, right?”
“Of course, Uncle Zhuang!”
Mu Tangchuan naturally could not bear such a sudden change. Under Wang Hui’s stern gaze, he could only bite the bullet and sit down. As though he was going to the execution ground, his entire body tensed up uncomfortably.
Zhuang Shurong also looked at him at this moment. Seeing Mu Tangchuan’s stance, the corners of her mouth unexpectedly pursed into a gentle smile.
And Mu Tangchuan seemed to be able to vaguely recall something.
Zhuang Shurong!
Was she not someone that he had heard about when he was studying at University A?
He had often heard about her from Meng Xi before. Meng Xi had a crush on Zhuang Shurong back then.
He heard that she was also admitted as a graduate student. After graduating from university, she was assigned to work in the city court. This year, she could be considered to have participated in the work for quite a few years and her performance was very outstanding.
It was no wonder that she seemed to be more mature than before. She was straightforward and decisive. The aura on her moved him a little.
“Tangchuan, you young people are not interested in what we are talking about. The chrysanthemums in the backyard are blooming nicely now. You should bring Ah Rong over to admire the flowers.”
Even a fool could tell that the parents of both parties wanted to set them up. Naturally, they would find such an excuse.
Mu Tangchuan was also well aware of this. After thinking for a moment, he stood up silently and walked towards the backyard with his long legs.
“Ah Rong, you should go take a walk with Tangchuan. You don’t want to be bored. After the meal is ready, we’ll get the servants to call for you,” Wang Hui said very cordially.
Zhuang Shurong frowned. Naturally, she felt a little helpless and embarrassed. She wished that she could escape immediately.
She had heard of Mu Tangchuan. He was a famous person in City A back then, but he kept a low profile. She heard that he did not interact much with others, but it did not affect his charm at all. There were quite a few people in her dormitory who were infatuated with him.
He was especially good at basketball. Back then, his teacher had strongly recommended him to be the president of the Student Union. In the end, he did not care at all, so naturally he ignored that. This matter was an open secret within the student union.
Moreover, the head of the Student Union’s publicity department, Fang Xiaoxiao, and the President of the Dance Association, Tan Li, had been in love with him for a long time. For the sake of him, Fang Xiaoxiao had locked Tan Li up in the laboratory for a day and a night. Tan Li had even fainted when she was discovered, Fang Xiaoxiao had been punished at that time.
This matter had caused a sensation in the school at that time. In the end, when the other party thought that Mu Tangchuan would come out and say something, they found out that he had accepted the school’s invitation to teach in the countryside and was not at school at all.
Zhuang Shurong had a deep impression of this matter because Tan Li was a friend of her good friend at that time and they had met before.
Another reason was that at that time, the matter between Mu Tangchuan and Shen Wenna had also been spread in the school.
Everyone knew that Mu Tangchuan treated Shen Wenna very well. They often saw him carrying things and personally delivered them to Shen Wenna at the entrance of the dormitory. At that time, everyone thought that Mu Tangchuan was also chasing after Shen Wenna, but later on, they heard that Mu Tangchuan had a girlfriend.
The chrysanthemums in the backyard were blooming very well. Just as they walked into the backyard, a faint fragrance of flowers wafted from their noses.
Mu Tangchuan walked in front unhurriedly, while Zhuang Shurong followed behind.
The two of them did not speak much either.
Mu Tangchuan did not speak much to begin with. Zhuang Shurong was quiet and somewhat arrogant, so naturally, she would not take the initiative to speak.
“Do you also dislike this feeling?”
As Mu Tangchuan walked, he suddenly stopped walking and turned his head to look at Zhuang Shurong who was following behind him.
“I have to cooperate even if I don’t like it, as long as I’m not married.”
Zhuang Shurong’s tone was a little helpless. Although she was a little embarrassed and angry, there was nothing she could do. She really should consider the important matters of her life.
Upon hearing this, Mu Tangchuan smiled. “You’re right. It’s just that I didn’t expect it to be you.”
“I didn’t expect it to be you either. You’re a big shot in University A, and the teachers have a very high opinion of you.”
“Aren’t you the same?”
Mu Tangchuan suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and leaned against the railing behind him while looking at Zhuang Shurong.
