His Beloved Treasure Chapter 171 - 78 We Got Married (4)5

"Why wouldn’t she dare?"

Mu Yichen finally lifted his eyes, and his gaze was piercing.

Qiao Yi was suddenly at a loss for words, and Secretary Xi beca so nervous that she imdiately lowered her head, as if afraid that they would discover her eavesdropping.

"She definitely wouldn’t dare, she only has the guts to be arrogant with you, right?"

"Don’t you think your viewpoint is quite amusing? Who is her father? Who is her man? Why wouldn’t she dare argue with others?"

Qiao Yi...

Qiao Yi suddenly realized that Xiaomu’s situation wasn’t so pitiable after all. Her father was a high-ranking official, and he had been wanting to make ands with her ever since she returned. Moreover, Mu Yichen really did have her back.

"So, should I continue to address her as ’Madam’ in the future?"

"Starting this month, you’ll get a raise."

Secretary Xi, hearing the boss affirm Qin Mu so confidently, mustered the courage to ask, but she hadn’t expected such good fortune to co so suddenly.

She was actually getting a raise.

"Thank you, boss. I will definitely work hard from now on, and also, I will provide thorough service to Madam."

"Mm, let’s eat."

Mu Yichen suddenly gave his secretary another look, feeling he had chosen his secretary well.

Qiao Yi asked with frustration, "When will you give a raise too, boss? It’s been several years without an increase."

"Is that so? Go back and have soone check the salary history of Qiao Tezhu for the past few years."

President Mu imdiately instructed Secretary Xi with much grace.

"Okay!"

"Hey, hey, hey, never mind, forget it, ah, no need to check! No need for a raise!"

Qiao Yi was about to lose his appetite due to Yichen’s words, but fortunately, he had eaten a bit more earlier.

"Jing Qing is still filming outside. You let her take on that micro-movie too, are you actually just hoping she stays outside for a bit longer?"

Later, as the three of them were returning to the company, Qiao Yi asked the man about to get into the back of the car.

"I never said that."

President Mu got into the car.

But Qiao Yi had the feeling that Mu Yichen was intentionally letting Jing Qing film without returning, either because he didn’t want Jing Qing to disrupt his life, or perhaps because he was afraid Jing Qing would hurt Qin Mu.

Yet regardless, what could he actually do for Jing Qing?

Jing Qing plainly rejected him and even drunkenly said she hated him once.

Perhaps, from every perspective, he wasn’t suitable to pursue Jing Qing. He gave up, climbed into the driver’s seat, and upon seeing the woman beside him calculating sothing on her phone, he couldn’t help but smile: "Calculating your salary?"

Secretary Xi gave him a smile but then imdiately focused back on the calculator on her phone.

Each ti they got a raise, there was a limit. She was calculating what she could afford with the salary increase this ti.

Helian Hao went to the studio to find Qin Mu, and upon hearing she was allowed to stay at the Mu Family ho again, he was genuinely happy for her but joked with a straight face: "They allow you to return and you just go back? What do they take you for? We’re not going back."

Qin Mu couldn’t help laughing, thinking since they were letting her return, why would she fuss over it?

She decided to focus on her career from now on.

Being Mrs. Mu on one hand and pursuing her career on the other, she thought things would definitely go much smoother.

"No more joking, you and Mu Yichen are quite good together. I have so serious news, though. The Jing Family’s old master is ill."

Qin Mu...

"I heard he went to see Mu Yichen yesterday, then got ill last night. However, Jing Feng said it’s just a minor headache, probably caught a cold or sothing."

Qin Mu...

Thank heavens, it’s just a minor headache.

If she had actually caused him any serious trouble with her words, the Jing Family mbers wouldn’t just tear her apart, they would have taken half her life.

Rembering the old master of the Jing Family clutching his chest, looking as though he was about to faint at the hotel yesterday, she was genuinely worried, frightened that the old man would really collapse there and then.

"If I tell you that I told the old master yesterday that I married Mu Yichen, will you... bla ?"

When Qin Mu tentatively broached the subject, Helian Hao blinked in astonishnt: "What?"

"Yesterday, he gave Mu Yichen a tough talk, essentially, the situation was pretty bad."

"So you told him about your marriage?"

"Yeah!"

"No wonder, that easily explains the old master’s headache. Complaining about a headache in the heat of sumr caused by the wind doesn’t seem like a credible reason."

Qin Mu...

"But why would I bla you? I think it’s quite good. Knowing that you two are already husband and wife, the old master probably won’t pressure his granddaughter to be with Mu Yichen anymore. You two can also breathe a sigh of relief."

Helian Hao felt they should have co clean long ago. Could the Jing Family still shalessly cling to Mu Yichen? Could they still have the nerve to trouble Qin Mu further?

"Given that, this matter probably can’t be kept from Jing Feng anymore, right?"
