Love So Sweet

143 Something Happened

Zhang Li Xue followed Mu Zhen Yu’s assistant and came out to the space where Mu Zhen Yu was going to give his speeches.

Coincidentally, she met Mu Zhen Yu’s younger brother, Mu Zhen Lin. The two of them started to chat before the event started.

Zhang Li Xue stood at the side while watching Mu Zhen Yu stand with his business partners and spoke about the company that they had worked hard to establish.

Hearing how Mu Zhen Yu had encountered a lot of difficulties for this company made Zhang Li Xue admire him a little more.

It was not easy for one to establish a business.

Although Mu Zhen Yu came from a rich and influential family in Y City, the man had not asked his family for help. He and his friends had established the company from their small apartment in G Country.

The speeches ended in less than half an hour. Soon, Mu Zhen Yu and his friends stood in front of their office and the group began to cut some ribbons to commence the beginning of their company in Y City.

Zhang Li Xue stood among the crowd and clapped with the others.

Because Mu Zhen Yu was the boss of the company, a lot of people began to surround him after the ceremony ended. Everyone wanted to congratulate him as well as to look for an opportunity for cooperation.

.....

Seeing this scene, Zhang Li Xue decided not to bother him.

She stood at the corner while looking at everyone else.

“Sister Li Xue, don’t you want to go over and talk to my brother as well?” Mu Zhen Lin asked. “I’m sure that my brother would be happy.”

Zhang Li Xue shifted her gaze to look at Mu Zhen Yu who was still talking with a few of his guests. “It’s alright. Your brother is still busy. I’ll just wait for him to finish.”

Zhang Li Xue guessed that those people who were talking to Mu Zhen Yu should be his potential business partner. Therefore, she did not want to interrupt.

Mu Zhen Lin looked at his brother and heaved a long sigh.

He knew very well that his elder brother liked Zhang Li Xue for years. Therefore, he could never understand why would his brother would suddenly decide to pursue his study in G Country.

Mu Zhen Lin had always thought that his brother was a little blockhead.

Fortunately, Sister Li Xue had never dated anyone while his brother was away in another country. Now that his brother had returned to Y City, Mu Zhen Lin hoped that his brother would finally confess to Sister Li Xue his feelings.

As the younger brother, Mu Zhen Lin thought that he should give his brother a hand. He had suggested for Zhang Li Xue go over to his brother. Unfortunately, the girl did not seem as if she was going to take this chance to approach his brother.

Mu Zhen Lin glanced at his brother who was surrounded by people. At his brother’s side, there were a few girls who were trying to impress him.

Seeing this scene, Mu Zhen Lin could only heave a sigh.

Now that his brother had returned to Y City, Mu Zhen Lin hoped that the man would take his chance to confess his feelings before he would be too late.

Mu Zhen Lin continued to accompany Zhang Li Xue for a while. However, once he ran into someone he knew, he could only excuse himself and go with his friends.

Mu Zhen Yu could finally escape the group of people almost twenty minutes later. He jogged over to Zhang Li Xue with an apologetic smile on his face. “I’m sorry. Have you waited long?”

“It was alright.” Zhang Li Xue said with a shrug. Since she did not have any plan afterward, she did not mind waiting for a while longer.

Moreover... Mu Zhen Yu was busy with something more important.

Mu Zhen Yu gave her a look over and realized that Zhang Li Xue has been standing in the corner alone.

His heart ached and he was feeling guilty.

“Have you eaten?” Mu Zhen Yu asked.

Zhang Li Xue shook her head and smiled. “I was waiting for you.”

Mu Zhen Yu heaved a helpless sigh. Although he felt guilty for letting her wait for too long, Mu Zhen Yu was happy to know that Zhang Li Xue has been waiting for him.

“Then, let’s go and have something to eat first,” Mu Zhen Yu said. “The caterer’s chicken wings are quite delicious. I hope that there is still food when we get there.”

Zhang Li Xue laughed. She followed Mu Zhen Yu to another room where the buffet table was prepared.

Fortunately, the chicken wings Mu Zhen Yu promised were still available.

Mu Zhen Yu picked up a plate and helped to fill Zhang Li Xue’s plate. The two of them were about to eat their food when Mu Zhen Yu’s business partners walked over to their table.

A helpless sigh escaped him. Mu Zhen Yu could only introduce the two guys to Zhang Li Xue. “Li Xue, this is my business partner, Jiang Bin and Chen Xin Yu. Guys, this is my childhood friend, Zhang Li Xue.”

Zhang Li Xue flashed them an amiable smile. “Hello.”

Jiang Bin and Chen Xin Yu exchanged a glance. Chen Xin Yu was about to say something and noticed the warning look in Mu Zhen Yu’s eyes. In the end, he decided to swallow his words. “Miss Zhang, we have heard a few things about you.”

“Oh?” Zhang Li Xue turned to Mu Zhen Yu with an inquiring glance. “I hope it was all good things?”

“Of course.” Chen Xin Yu flashed a mysterious smile at his friend. “Zhen Yu always spoke about his childhood friends in Y City. We are finally able to meet you.”

Zhang Li Xue could sense that there was something strange in Chen Xin Yu’s words. However, she could not pinpoint what it was.

They only exchanged a few polite words before Jiang Bin and Chen Xin Yu walked away.

Mu Zhen Yu’s gaze was too scary and they did not want to stay for too long.

Seeing that he was finally alone with Zhang Li Xue, Mu Zhen Yu finally heaved a breath of relief. His hand clenched into a fist as he thought of the words he wanted to tell Zhang Li Xue.

After a brief hesitation, Mu Zhen Yu began to speak, “Xiao Li Xue, I have something to tell you.”

Mu Zhen Yu has been planning this day for a long time. This was the reason why he wanted Zhang Li Xue to attend this ceremony. Now that the time has come, he was not going to back off again.

“What is it?” Zhang Li Xue wiped her fingers with a wet tissue and looked at the man before her. Noticing the anxious look on his face made her frown.

“Li Xue, I like-”

“President Mu! Something happened!”

Before he could say the words he wanted to say, his assistant had returned to his side with an apologetic look on his face.

Mu Zhen Yu’s expression darkened.

The assistant leaned over and whispered. “President Mu, Miss Ye had an accident. It seemed pretty bad.”

His expression changed again when he heard his assistant’s words. Mu Zhen Yu glanced at Zhang Li Xue reluctantly.

“Brother Zhen Yu, go ahead.” Zhang Li Xue smiled. “We can always chat next time.”

Mu Zhen Yu hesitated. Seeing the anxious look on his assistant’s face, he finally decided. “Xiao Li Xue, I’m sorry. You go back first. I’ll call you after this.”
