The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu's Pampered Wife Chapter 1394 - Grief and Indignation 3

Chapter 1394 Grief and Indignation 3

Su Chen leaned against the door frame as he squinted at her, then smiled with admiration while playing with the car keys in his hand.

“Are you saying that I didn’t have taste before this?” Ji Zitong rolled her eyes and reached out to take the car key from his hand, then tossed her handbag at him.

Su Chen caught it accurately and frowned at the woman who had already turned to walk towards the door. He felt something.

Ji Zitong seemed to be less and less courteous with him now, and she had quite the temper, but when did he start to put up with her and even willingly hold her handbag for her?

He did not think too much as Ji Zitong’s slender figure already vanished out the doorway, thus he could only follow after her.

After a while, the black Land Rover slowly drove out of the villa area. Ji Zitong drove while Su Chen sat leisurely in the front pa.s.senger seat with his arm as a pillow.

“This thing with Ah Mo has finally come to an end, hasn’t it? It’s quite surprising to me that Doris would make a move on him,” Ji Zitong could not help but say.

Su Chen glanced at him. “What’s so surprising? It’s even hard to believe that she was the mastermind behind the incident six years ago. You should know that because of that accident, Ah Chen blamed himself for six whole years. When it first happened, the calm that he showed scared even me and Zimo. We almost never left his side for more than a month.”

When he recalled the past, Su Chen still had lingering fears. “Rich and powerful families have got so much conflict and grudges going on. Sometimes, I really think that it’s simpler to be us common bosses. You don’t have to rush to refute me. I’m not targeting you. I’m just saying that it’s mostly like that, especially when facing a huge amount of a.s.sets and all sorts of temptations.”

Ji Zitong seemed to understand this because when she thought about it, she could not help but think about her tragedy back then. Did that man not choose another woman because of her mediocre family background?

Su Chen could keenly sense this too.

When Ji Zitong said that, his sharp gaze looked over and instantly caught the darkness that flashed in her eyes.

“That’s because you met all the highest qualities, like us Su family and the Zhou family would. As for Ah Chen, I think the others are just plotting against him. The entire Mu family should be his. When he joined the military academy back then, Grandfather Mu had already made that very clear. All three of us buddies didn’t join the academy to go down the path of the army and government. Our elders just thought we were too full of youthful vigor and needed to discipline our will,” Su Chen said.

Of course, he did not think that he would change his career and return to be in the Traffic Bureau. It was not a great thing to be a government official. If you did not know your stuff, the people above would look down on you, and if you did not perform things well, the common people below would criticize you, so it was not easy.

In fact, in a large city such as City Z, there were so many establishments for office bearers. Just the traffic police department alone was overwhelming to him.

When he thought about this, Su Chen paused a while, then said to Ji Zitong, “Next time, don’t let our child be a government official. It’s not a great job. Teach him to do business.”

Ji Zitong was surprised by his words. After a while, she reacted. Having thought about what he said, she then responded, “We’ll talk about it when we have one.”

Initially, they decided on having a child next year, so they should make plans in advance now. “It’s best to control your consumption of alcohol and cigarettes. I notice that you’ve got quite a cigarette addiction. That’s not good for your health.”

Upon hearing that, Su Chen, who was about to reach into his pocket, paused, thought about it, then kept his hand away again. “I don’t have many interests to while the time away. I only have that habit usually, but I’ll do my best to smoke less.” He compromised for once.

…

Su Chen and Ji Zitong rushed over. When they found the private room, Su Nan and Ruan Heng were already there. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye sat together, and the four of them were playing mahjong. On the side, they had already ordered tea, fruits, and pastries, as well as some red wine, which was not as strong as whiskey. Inside the private room, slow and soft music wafted in the air.

When he saw Su Chen and Ji Zitong walk in, Mu Yuchen handed his cards to Xi Xiaye beside him, then waved to Su Chen. The buddies sat and drank together. Just when they were about to pour another round of drinks, Mu Yuchen’s phone buzzed. He picked it up and saw that it was Zhou Zimo.

Before Mu Yuchen could answer, Zhou Zimo’s voice came through, “Mmm? It’s me. Quickly pick me up. I’m at the airport. Prepare some food. I’m starving!”

Initially, he thought that he could return for Christmas, but now that the days went on, he managed to rush back before New Year’s Day. Otherwise, he really could not stay put any longer.

Even though Zhou Zimo was reckless and loved freedom, he still missed City Z. it was only when he returned to City Z that he felt at home. Even if some questions were frustrating, this did not stop his love for the place because, to the buddies, their friends and kin had all met here.

…

Mu Yuchen kept his phone away, but he did not pick Zhou Zimo up personally. He thought about it for a moment and wanted to call Qi Lei. Because they were both not too far away from the highway from the airport, the glorious task of picking Zhou Zimo up was handed to Qi Lei.

When Qi Lei reached the airport by car, from afar, he could see Zhou Zimo wrapped in a black coat while his a.s.sistant, Ya Yan, was beside him.

“Quickly get into the car!” Qi Lei lowered his car window and said to Zhou Zimo.

“How did you come over?” Zhou Zimo was shocked to see Qi Lei sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat.

Zhou Zimo nodded and pulled open the car door to sit shotgun. Xu Yayan quietly opened the door to the backseat too. He was about to slide in when an urgent and sad voice was heard, “Qi Lei! Wait up!”

Everyone subconsciously paused. Qi Lei and Zhou Zimo exchanged a look, then looked to where the sound came from.

Not too far away from the car, dressed in a white faux fur coat with long hair was a lady who held the back door to another car open, and she had a little girl with her…

When he saw the little girl, Qi Lei was stunned. He looked up to see the long-haired woman who held her hand.

Gu Lingsha…

Why was she here?

Qi Lei subconsciously frowned.

“Qi Lei, bring me to the police station, please! The flight was delayed. I couldn’t find the person who was meant to pick me up from the airport! I…” Gu Lingsha looked exceptionally wan and sallow whereas her initially alluring voice had turned raspy now…
