Chapter 1071: Settling Accounts
Mu Anhan lifted her head from his embrace, seemingly not fully awake from her dream.
Why was he so calm today?
Why had he changed so much?
Was he really not angry? Or was he holding back a bigger reaction?
In response, her forehead was flicked by the man’s finger, "President Mu, if you don’t go now, the contract really won’t be signed, and if too much is lost, I’ll hold you accountable."
Mu Anhan let out a laugh, hugged him tightly once more, and then left the car to return to the venue.
He Feng followed her, and after pressing the elevator button, he saw tears shimmering in Mu Anhan’s eyes.
He Feng, of course, knew his boss’s unpredictability; even when the boss’s wife was upset, she never showed her sadness in front of them.
Regardless of why Gu Xiaozhan had changed, Mu Anhan only wanted to sign the contract and let the Emperor Group reach the pinnacle of commerce.
When she returned to the scene, everyone couldn’t help but look over.
She wore a confident smile, held her head high, and her exquisite face radiated her unique pride.
The crowd was puzzled, not knowing what had happened.
He Feng said, "President Mu had something urgent to attend to earlier."
Meaning, the signing event would continue.
Pei Zhe also looked at her, the exhaustion and apology on her face gone, replaced by an unprecedented sense of victory.
No matter what, she was willing to stay and sign the contract; every difficulty would be conquered.
She would proceed smoothly.
Mu Anhan walked to her seat, nodding at everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies."
She looked in Pei Zhe’s direction, "Your Excellency, thank you for trusting Emperor Group and all the employees participating in the aerospace project. Today, I represent the company in signing the contract, and we will definitely not let you down. Xiao Zhan and I both hope to contribute all our efforts to our country’s aerospace endeavors."
Pei Zhe nodded, "Both President Gu and President Mu are leading talents of our nation. We welcome you and absolutely trust you, hoping our aerospace industry will keep improving!"
After signing their names, the two shook hands amicably.
After the ceremony, Mu Anhan asked He Feng to stay there; she was eager to see Gu Xiaozhan.
Little did she know, after she ran out, she couldn’t spot Gu Xiaozhan’s car.
She took out her phone and called him.
He didn’t pick up.
Mu Anhan’s heart sank; what should she do now?
...
Huo Yiwen didn’t wait for the major media to report a scandal between Mu Anhan and Pei Zhe; instead, it was their amiable meeting at the signing ceremony.
The online trolls also vanished, and no one mentioned a bad word about Mu Anhan anymore.
When she couldn’t get the photos of Mu Anhan and Pei Zhe together into the email, she went to see Gu Xiaozhan in person.
Little did she know, Gu Xiaozhan was not far from the signing meeting, and Huo Yiwen called him into the hotel room.
"Xiao Zhan, your health hasn’t recovered, why are you here?" Huo Yiwen looked at him with concern.
Gu Xiaozhan glanced at her indifferently, "Waiting for Han Han."
Huo Yiwen really didn’t understand, Gu Zhentao was a playboy, marrying four wives and having more than a dozen children, living like an ancient emperor.
Gu Xiaozhan was clearly Gu Zhentao’s biological son, so why was he devoted solely to Mu Anhan?
"Look at these." Huo Yiwen handed the developed photos to him.
