The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 329 - 329 329 Xu Qingqing's Visit

329: Chapter 329 Xu Qingqing’s Visit 329: Chapter 329 Xu Qingqing’s Visit Moongaze Building, twenty-sixth floor, President’s office of Mu Group.

The atmosphere was slightly heavy.

Her waterfall-like soft black hair cascaded down, and her tailored professional attire perfectly enveloped her curvaceous and delicate figure.

Mu Shanshan possessed a natural nobility and elegance, especially when she was focused on her work, her entire demeanor became even more distinguished and inviolable.

“Still haven’t thought it through, or do you need me to remind you?!”

After a while, having closed the folder, Mu Shanshan slightly lifted her chin, her cold and sharp eyes turned toward Lin Fei, who stood in front of her spacious desk—he was her nominal husband.

“I’ve thought it through.”

“Then say it!”

“As the Vice Minister of the Security Department, I indeed have many shortcomings.

Although I have achieved considerable merit for the company, I have not done enough and there are still many areas where I fall short.

In my future career, I will definitely—”

“Lin Fei.”

“Hmm?”

“Can you die from not pretending to be dumb?!”

Watching Lin Fei, who stood close to her, Mu Shanshan, who in just two years had led the entire Mu Group to multiple its achievements manifold, sincerely felt a sense of powerlessness.

Being the president of Mu Group, how could she not be aware of the daily performance of Lin Fei, the Vice Minister of the Security Department?

As for Lin Fei’s hard work and ambition, Mu Shanshan had basically given up hope.

If it were because of Lin Fei’s work issues, why would she waste her precious time and specifically instruct Meng Xue’er to notify Lin Fei to report to her office immediately upon his arrival at the company?

If it were someone else summoned to her office like this, there would be no need for further explanation—it could only be for official business.

As for Lin Fei, her nominal husband, it could only be personal matters!

It’s not that she, President Mu, didn’t want to discuss business matters with Lin Fei; rather, between them, there were no business matters to discuss.

Between them, what needed to be discussed, what could be discussed, were only personal matters.

As for what those personal matters were, it was actually quite simple.

Shen Peini, that enchantress, could guess that Lin Fei, after returning from Ningzhou to Zhonghai, had gone to Ling Weiwei’s house, hence she waited in the lobby early in the morning just to catch Lin Fei and vent her anger by grabbing him.

Mu Shanshan, as Lin Fei’s legitimate wife and also the president of Mu Group, how could she not know when Lin Fei returned from his business trips?

She, President Mu, had agonized for half of yesterday whether to go to the airport to pick up Lin Fei.

Although, in the end, she didn’t go to the airport due to feminine pride and because Ling Weiwei was with Lin Fei.

Yet, she, President Mu, had specifically asked Aunt Lan to make a table full of delicious dishes to treat Lin Fei, her nominal husband, on his return.

Left waiting, waiting, and nothing but a night of waiting!

Because of this, her, President Mu’s, anger was obviously even greater by threefold than that of Shen Peini, that enchantress.

As a matter of fact, as soon as Lin Fei stepped into her office, she, President Mu, had thought to confront him and thoroughly scold Lin Fei.

But, considering that Lin Fei’s business trip to Ningzhou had also contributed somewhat to the company, she, the president of Mu Group, suppressed her anger and gave Lin Fei, this so-called husband, an opportunity to come forward and admit his mistakes on his own.

However, Lin Fei clearly had no intention of seizing this opportunity, which truly infuriated Mu Shanshan.

Think about it, Mu Shanshan, despite facing immense pressure from the board of directors, had aggressively acquired shares of Fangxing Group, solely to retaliate against Fangxing to vent anger on behalf of her so-called husband, Lin Fei.

And Lin Fei?

Having returned from his business trip, he didn’t come home at night nor did he even bother to call her; he simply didn’t take her, his wife and president, seriously!

This could be tolerated, but his wife couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

Although, Mu Shanshan had indeed expressed that before she truly accepted and acknowledged Lin Fei as her husband, she wouldn’t interfere too much in Lin Fei’s personal life.

But Lin Fei’s neglectful behavior towards her was something Mu Shanshan, the president, clearly couldn’t accept anymore.

“If I remember correctly, you should have arrived yesterday afternoon, so where were you last night?!”

You’re playing dumb, so let me refresh your memory and see how you continue pretending!

At this moment, Mu Shanshan, with her chilly gaze, stared directly at Lin Fei, clearly in an accusatory mode.

“President Mu, I just remembered, I brought some gifts for my wife from the trip and left them in the office.

If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”

After all, they had been married for over half a year and had lived together for a few months, Lin Fei could tell that Mu Shanshan, his wife and president, was probably about to explode.

Right then, Lin Fei couldn’t pretend to be clueless any longer and tried to sneak away after hastily making up an excuse.

It wasn’t that he, Lin Fei, hadn’t discerned that Mu Shanshan was giving him a chance to come clean and admit his mistakes.

Having learned from Penny Shen’s prior lesson and Meng Xue’er’s indirect warning, before he even entered Mu Shanshan’s office, Lin Fei had realized why his wife and president was angry.

Hearing is one thing, but Lin Fei clearly couldn’t bring himself to confess honestly to Mu Shanshan, his wife and president.

Lin Fei knew what Mu Shanshan was thinking, but he genuinely hadn’t spent the night at the beautiful Vice Minister Weiwei’s house.

These things, if they happened, they happened; if not, not.

He, Lin Fei, was obviously not shameless enough to use the beautiful Vice Minister Weiwei as a scapegoat.

As for confessing the truth, that obviously was even more impossible.

The matter with Xue Mei must not be disclosed to Mu Shanshan at any cost.

Even if Lin Fei were to confess, given Mu Shanshan’s nature, she most likely wouldn’t believe him anyway.

Besides, matters involving marital emotional disputes tend to worsen the more they are explained.

Being the one in the wrong, Lin Fei naturally did not want to discuss this type of issue with Mu Shanshan, his wife and president, more than necessary.

“Did I say you could leave?!”

Lin Fei intended to escape, but having been ignored by Lin Fei and after waiting alone all night, Mu Shanshan certainly didn’t intend to let the matter go lightly.

Gifts?

Why hadn’t he thought of that earlier!

If, when Lin Fei had entered her office, he was holding gifts and had spoken a few sweet words, perhaps she, President Mu, would have been moved and not pursued the matter further.

Now that she had brought the issue to the table, and he only then remembered to mention the gifts, it was too late!

Just as Mu Shanshan was thinking about how to teach Lin Fei, her so-called husband, a lesson to prevent him from frequently neglecting her, his wife and president, in the future.

One of Mu Shanshan’s secretaries, the petite and fine-featured Shen Xuan, knocked and entered.

“President Mu, there’s a call at the front desk, a high school girl claiming to be Vice Minister Lin’s mistress, says she has important matters to discuss with Vice Minister Lin, what do you think?”

Having just considered Shen Xuan as a lifesaver and wanting to seize the chance to escape, Lin Fei, in an instant, was dumbfounded…
