Chapter 765: Gathering
Mu Chen remained expressionless.
Yin Yi said, looking aggrieved, “Brother Mu Chen, the photo that day was taken by a boy who’s pursuing me. I’ve already spoken to him, and he agreed to hand over all the photos to me. After I obtain them, to appease Dr. Song, I’ll hand them over to her so she can destroy them, okay?”
At the same time, Guan Tang said to Cheng Che with an earnest expression on her face, “Yin Yi is really sincere about apologizing to Chairman Mu. She knows she’s in the wrong.”
Cheng Che’s expression was extremely unsightly at this moment.
Suddenly, Mu Chen rose to his feet. He placed one hand in his pocket before he said to Cheng Che, “Let’s go for a meal. Bring your two younger sisters with you.”
Cheng Che was stunned.
Yin Yi and Guan Tang were stunned as well.
Yin Yi was the first to react. She was ecstatic, feeling like she had achieved her goal. She clapped her hands and said happily, “Alright, alright! Cousin and I happen to be very hungry as well.”
Guan Tang looked embarrassed as she reached out to tug Yin Yi’s sleeve.
Yin Yi quickly pushed Guan Tang to Cheng Che’s side and said, “Brother, shouldn’t you give Cousin an explanation? She’s now become a laughingstock among our relatives. It’s not appropriate for you to treat a girl like this, right?” Then, she turned to Mu Chen and said, “Brother Mu Chen, thank you for forgiving me. Otherwise, I’d really be overcome with guilt.”
…
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and entered the room before saying, “Chairman Mu, President Ye is looking for you.”
Ye Cheng did not wait and walked into the office with a smile. Yin Jia was with him as well.
Ye Cheng said with a smile, “It seems like there’s a huge gap between our titles now. You’re already Chairman Mu while I’m still President Ye. I really can’t catch up to you at all in my life.”
Mu Chen smiled insincerely and said, “It’s not difficult at all if you want to become Chairman Ye.”
Ye Cheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No, no, no, I don’t want to.”
Mu Chen said, “At least you still have a conscience. Otherwise, I’ll have to tell Uncle Ye about it.”
The light joke quickly dispelled the awkward atmosphere.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Cheng and asked, “We’re going to eat. Do you want to join us?”
Ye Cheng was stunned by Mu Chen’s invitation. When he recovered his senses, he said with a smile, “Of course. It seems like I came to the right place at the right time. How lucky!”
…
Mu Chen’s secretary had already made a booking at the restaurant so they were led to a private room as soon as they arrived.
With Ye Cheng around, the atmosphere was much more harmonious. He was very tactful when dealing with people unlike the taciturn Mu Chen. As for Cheng Che, he could not be bothered to lighten the atmosphere either. Hence, everything fell on Ye Cheng.
Yin Jia looked at Cheng Che worriedly and asked, “I heard from Grandpa that you’ve agreed to come home. The arrangements have been made. When will you come home exactly?”
Yin Jia was Cheng Che’s elder sister so she acted like his mother. Cheng Che was also very patient with her.
Cheng Che said, “I still have matters to attend to. I’ll try to settle them as fast as I can.”
Yin Jia nodded. Seeing that Yin Yi was talking to Mu Chen, she reminded Cheng Che in a hushed voice, “Okay, if you need anything, just let me know. There are some things that are better said now than later. You also have to remember your limits; don’t overdo things. Otherwise, the tide might turn against you. You have plenty of time in the future so remember to take it slow…”
Cheng Che was expressionless as he said perfunctorily, “I understand, Sister.” Then, he glanced at Ye Cheng, who was talking to Mu Chen, briefly before he asked, “Does he treat you well?”
Yin Jia felt her cheeks burn as she nodded slightly.
Cheng Che said, “He’s very cunning. You must be careful when you’re with him.”
Yin Jia’s eyes reddened slightly when she heard her brother’s words of concern. She said emotionally, “Yes, I know. I have you as my support now. I’m really happy that you’re back.”
