Xiao Ming's parents were frightened by Mu Sichen's powerful aura.

Besides, after today's trial, they also saw Mu Sichen's ability.

Therefore, the two of them stopped talking, looked at each other secretly, and walked away dejectedly.

Looking at their backs as they left in a hurry, Xia Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Putting his hands on her shoulders, Mu Si said softly, "Don't look, don't take such a person to heart."

Xia Ling followed him to the car.

Along the way, she was sullen.

While driving, Mu Sichen observed her expression from the corner of his eye.

Then, he chuckled lightly, and said, "Is there a sudden feeling that you really made a mistake?"

Xia Ling sighed and said, "How did they become like this?"

"Perhaps, they were originally such people."

Mu Si said in a low voice: "They had nothing before. They were indeed just simple farmers, and they could only be simple farmers. But because of Xiao Ming's matter, the social attention is so high, and there is a huge compensation they can get. I started to use my brain. And you, the reason why you let yourself fall into such internal friction, do you know why?"

Xia Ling listened carefully and asked curiously, "Why?"

Mu Sichen smiled, and said: "That's because in your heart, the world is always black and white. When you are sure about the black side, you think the other side must be white, so you are so Trust them and do your best to help them. As for the end, I don’t need to say, you have already tasted it yourself.”

Although Xia Ling really wanted to defend herself, she was powerless to refute what Mu Sichen said.

At the beginning, she really believed in that couple so much that she ended up like this.

Xia Ling paused, and asked curiously: "But in this situation, Qi Qi said that you won the lawsuit, does it mean that the Bai family doesn't have to lose money?"

"Winning or losing is actually not as absolute as you imagine, it's all relative." Mu Sichen patiently explained: "Like this case of Bai's worker's death, winning doesn't mean a penny. No compensation, but it will definitely not be compensated to the psychological price of Zhang Ming's family. It is estimated that the final judgment will cost 50 million yuan at most."

Xia Ling couldn't help sighing: "All of a sudden, half of it was lost? So, you said that Bai Wei took 100 million to find Xiao Ming's parents for private affairs. It was true. But at that time, their appetite was too big, Want more?"

Mu Sishen nodded, and said, "That's what it means to lose your wife and lose your army. People, don't be too greedy."

Xia Ling finally figured out the outcome of this matter.

She looked at him and said: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, you won the lawsuit. Qi Qi also said that I want to reward you! What do you want?"

"You smile, that's the biggest reward for me."

Mu Sichen reached out and pinched her face, and said, "Don't let things at work affect your mood. If you are unhappy, the baby in your belly will not be happy either."

Thinking of the baby, Xia Ling finally showed a gratified smile.

She lowered her head, touched her belly, and said, "Baby, I'm sorry, mother will try to be happy every day in the future, and take you to be happy together, okay?"

Listening to her talking to the baby, Mu Sichen suddenly felt a little heavy.

He freed up a hand, put it on her hand, and said lightly: "Lingling, you have to trust me, you understand?"

Xia Ling was slightly taken aback, and looked at him blankly.

I always feel that he has something else to say to her.

Mu Sichen bent the corners of his lips, and warned: "Remember, don't get into a corner. I'm really afraid that you will get into a corner. In fact, as long as you trust me, it will be fine. I... will not harm you."

Yes, at least, from now on, he won't hurt her anymore.

Because, he will feel distressed, and he can't bear it.

Mu Sichen is not good at saying affectionate words, and he has never spoken to any woman before.

After he said this from the bottom of his heart, he felt a little embarrassed, afraid that Xia Ling would be arrogant in the future, and would control him to death.

Unexpectedly, Xia Ling burst out laughing.

This made Mu Sichen even more embarrassed.

He frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Xia Ling tilted his head, his black pupils were still full of smiles, and said, "Lawyer Mu, what you said just now is like an old father, hahaha!"

Mu Sichen had no choice but to show the appearance of an old father, and said earnestly: "What I said just now, please remember that I will never hurt you at any time. In the future, you should be careful at work. , don’t trust anyone easily. However, you can trust me, and you can only trust me.”

Xia Ling's hippie smile just now froze on his face.

In fact, she used to try very hard to guess his thoughts before, but every time, she couldn't do it.

Therefore, she always does some wishful thinking.

But this time, she felt that she really understood, and her guess was right.

An arrogant man like Mu Sichen naturally wouldn't say nasty words like many couples in love.

So, what he just said is another kind of confession and promise?

At this moment, a warm current poured into her heart, making her feel at ease and warm.

Xia Ling's eyes were reddish, he nodded heavily, and said, "I remember!"

It had been a long time since her father had committed a crime and went to prison. No one had given her such a sense of security.

In fact, she wanted to cry very much, but she also felt that she was a bit worthless.

In the past, Xia Ling was not so easily moved!

Therefore, she smiled and said playfully: "Lawyer Mu, from now on, I will rely on you to protect me. You will be my backer, and let me rely on it for the rest of my life!"

Mu Sichen's thin lips curved slightly, and said lightly: "Don't worry, as long as I don't fall, you won't fall!"

Xia Ling only felt that the wind blowing in from the window was sweet.

The phrase "I love you" that she was looking forward to, at this moment, didn't seem to be so important anymore.

……

Since that day, Xiao Ming's parents never came to harass Xia Ling again.

Once the press release was released, it also triggered intense discussions in the society, and the number of views was very large.

Colleagues in the department are very happy, which also means that this month's bonus can be doubled again.

Xia Ling also has a sense of accomplishment in her heart. After all, after she became the editor-in-chief, the few news stories she handled have gained a lot of attention.

For some reason, as long as there is something happy now, she always wants to tell Mu Sichen and share it with him.

Therefore, she sent a wechat message: Lawyer Mu, do you have an appointment tonight?Invite you to dinner, the location is up to you!

Then, she added a playful emoji.

Mu Sichen, who was working, heard the notification, and his eyes fell on the mobile phone beside him.

Looking at her message on the screen, the corners of his lips curled up, and he turned back to her: Miss Xia, if you don't eat, I'll eat you, okay?

At this moment, a call came from the cell phone, and it was from Mrs. Mu.

"Si Chen, the engagement ceremony will be on the 10th of next month! Originally, I wanted to change it to a better date, but I asked the master to figure it out. I got engaged on this day, which is very auspicious!"

Mrs. Mu talked about the engagement with great interest.

The smile on Mu Sichen's face disappeared completely, and he said, "The 10th of next month? Is it too soon?"

"It's not too soon, after getting engaged, you have to prepare for the wedding! You are over 30, how long do you want to delay?"

Madam Mu snorted coldly, and said: "Si Chen, don't forget what you said to me that day. You said that you would listen to me and get engaged to Ya Hui, so I won't trouble Xia Ling! If you are so perfunctory to me all day long, I will go to that little vixen and ask if she has been pestering you all day and wants to take you as her own!"

Mu Sichen squeezed the center of his brows, and said coldly: "I see, you can watch it, as long as I'm there that day, it's fine, isn't it?"

Madam Mu gave up and reminded: "You must always remember Xia Ling's identity! Such a little bitch, you can just play around, don't take it too seriously. Especially if it doesn't affect your engagement. Mom knows , You have a sense of proportion, you will definitely not fall in love with a daughter who kills her father and her enemy."

Mrs. Mu kept insulting Xia Ling, which made Mu Sichen inexplicably uncomfortable.

He said: "Mom, as a noble lady who goes out and about in the upper class, it is too inappropriate for you to say such things all the time?"

"I……"

Mrs. Mu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Sichen: "Mom, I have a meeting right now, so let's not talk about it."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Sichen threw the phone aside and lightly pressed his temple.

Immediately, he called Xiao Song.

"What happened to what I asked you to do?"

Mu Sichen's tone revealed a sense of anxiety and impatience, "It's been so long, have you had no access to Bai's internal accounts?"

Xiao Song lowered his head and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, Lawyer Mu, I have really thought of a lot of ways. But this kind of thing is confidential in any company, and there are very few people who know the real accounts. It’s a beautiful fake account. Unless they gain the trust of their senior management, maybe they will have a chance to get it.”

Mu Si sighed deeply, and didn't want to criticize him anymore.

In fact, Xiao Song didn't need to say anything, he also knew how difficult this matter was.

After all, the people who hold the real accounts are all those who put their wealth and life on the Bai family.They will never easily expose Bai's Achilles' heel at will!

Mu Sichen thought about the date of engagement, the 10th of next month...

It's been a few days.

He had no choice but to say to Xiao Song: "You do this, check the background of the senior management who may have the real accounts, sort it out and send it to me, and I will find a way."

"it is good."

Xiao Song immediately went out to do errands.

Mu Sichen was not sure if he could get what he wanted before the engagement date.

Therefore, he must make two-handed preparations.

Just like that, he called Zheng Jun.

……

A few days later, Xia Ling's news department was boiling.

Because the performance of the News Department in the first quarter of this year is the first among all departments.

Therefore, the company rewards every employee in the news department to travel to Thailand next month, including air tickets and accommodation, and 15 days of paid travel leave.

This email almost made everyone jump for joy.

Especially Yu Qiqi, who ran into Xia Ling's office and said excitedly: "Oh my God, Miss Xia, am I right? I heard from other colleagues that this kind of thing has never happened in the company before. They have worked for many years , I have never encountered it before. Paid travel, including air tickets and accommodation, 15 days, a whole half a month! I just came across such a good thing in the first year of becoming a regular! This is too happy!"

Xia Ling was infected by their happiness, and said to Qi Qi: "Yeah, I have been in the magazine for a few years, and I used to give out a bonus at most. There has never been such a thing."

"I didn't expect Director Zheng to be quite human!" Yu Qiqi said straightforwardly, "Look, even though he scolded you before, when it was time to reward you, he didn't even blink! There are more than a dozen people in our department, Let’s go abroad together for so many days, the company must have lost a lot of blood!”

Xia Ling nodded and said, "It's quite a lot. I don't know if there will be such a good thing next year."

Qiqi hurriedly said: "Oh, sister Xia, you can calm down a bit. It would be great if you can go this year! With such a big temptation here, next year, other departments will have to grab it? What about our news department? Is it time to do the entertainment department? Next year, it will definitely not be our turn."

Speaking of this, she hurried to close the door, and asked mysteriously: "Sister Xia, will Lawyer Namu let you go? After all, you have a baby. If you go on a trip, will he be at ease?"

Xia Ling was also a little entangled. Although Qiqi didn't want to go as urgently as Qiqi, but the company's welfare finally caught up, and it seemed a bit too bad not to go.

After get off work at night, Mu Sichen came to pick her up.

When Xia Ling got into the car, he was all smiling.

"So happy?" Mu Sichen asked while driving, "What's the matter, please share?"

Xia Ling then told him that the company had paid for the employees of their news department to travel to Thailand.

She said with satisfaction: "Really, I really didn't expect that our magazine society is so humane. Before, it seemed that there were no such good benefits. However, this is also a recognition of me. After all, I have just been promoted to editor-in-chief. Let’s make our department’s performance No. 1.”

Mu Sichen smiled, and said, "That's right, I don't even know whose woman you are!"

Xia Ling asked for his opinion, "Then tell me, should I go or not?"

"Go, of course I will."

Mu Si Shen said: "This benefit is because you have a good leader and brought the achievements of the people in your department. They have all gone, why don't you go?"

Xia Ling's mood became even better. She said coquettishly, "At first, I was afraid that you wouldn't let me go."

"how come?"

A strangeness flashed in Mu Sichen's eyes, and he said lightly: "After staying at home for a long time, it's good to go out to relax, but you must pay attention to safety. After all, you are not alone now."

At this time, his cell phone rang, and Xia Ling saw that the caller ID was Mrs. Mu.

Although the phone kept vibrating, Mu Sichen didn't answer it.

Xia Ling was a little strange and asked, "Aren't you answering your mother's call?"

Mu Sichen paused for a moment, and said nonchalantly, "She probably asked me to go back to have dinner at night when she called. I'll send you home first, and then go there."

Xia Ling didn't say anything, but the uneasiness and apprehension flooded into his heart again.

Why, it's been so long, Mu Sichen doesn't seem to want to take her home at all.

If his mother doesn't approve, can they still go on?
