Chapter 154: Housewarming Party
“You!” Elderly Lady Gu, face turning pale in anger, only wanted to slap on Qin Muxuan’s face fiercely. However, as she saw Qin Xiaobai’s eyes fixed on her, she withdrew her hand.
She knew that if she hit Qin Muxuan in front of Qin Xiaobai, she would never be able to bring the boy back!
“I know that our humble meal here is not to your taste, Elderly Lady Gu. Please go back now, I’ll bring Xiaobai to visit you from time to time. You don’t need to go to the trouble of coming to our home next time.”
Qin Muxuan sat back on her seat and didn’t even want to send Elderly Lady Gu off.
Since Elderly Lady Gu called her a motherless person who lacked manners, she decided not to put on a show of politeness then.
“Qin Muxuan, you should know that the house you and Xiaobai are living in belongs to the Gu’s real estate company.”
Elderly Lady Gu pulled a long face, which made her look quite intimidating.
However, Qin Muxuan was not frightened by that and only replied in a flat tone, “The Gu’s properties are all over the world. As long as Xiaobai and I still live on earth, we can’t avoid getting involved in the Gu’s industry chain. Elderly Lady Gu, if you forbid Xiaobai and me to live in Gu’s property or eat the food produced by Gu’s industrial chain, I will have to take legal action.”
Elderly Lady Gu went furious with her face turning pale and her hand shivering on the walking stick. Qin Xiaobai was a bit worried that she would fall down all of a sudden.
Luckily, the old lady stood still quickly and turned around to leave. She felt that she would faint in anger if she stayed here any longer.
After a few days, the director called to ask Xiaobai to continue to act in the series which told a story of a talented boy.
Qin Muxuan always taught Xiaobai to carry anything he did through to completion. So even though she wanted his son to quit acting, she still agreed to let him finish that series.
As a result, Qin Xiaobai got busy in shooting again.
“Muxuan, I heard that you moved to a new house, a villa. Why didn’t you hold a housewarming party to celebrate this?”
When Qin Muxuan was at work, her colleagues all gathered around to chat with her.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Qin Muxuan said with a smile, “There will be a lot of people living in that villa in the future. I only rent one of the rooms. I’m afraid that a party would bother others.”
“Then how many roommates do you have now?”
“There is only me and my son.”
Qin Muxuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. The agent had said that this villa was very popular, and many people would compete to rent the rooms. However, even now, no one hadn’t moved in yet.
“Then what are you worrying about? You have to hold a party now. When the others move in the villa, you won’t have a chance to do this!”
“… Fine.”
“Qin Muxuan, Mr. Qin needs to see you in his office now.”‘
Qin Muxuan stood up and walked to Qin Feng’s office.
“Qin Muxuan, how are you doing in your house?”
Qin Feng talked to Qin Muxuan with his eyes on the computer the whole time.
“I’m fine.” Qin Muxuan answered with a smile. She didn’t know why everyone cared about the place she lived today.
“The house is quiet and very suitable for me to work.”
“I can see that your design is better than before. I guess your new villa has offered you not only quietness but also inspiration.”
Qin Feng finally took a glance at Qin Muxuan, “Lately a few new clients took a fancy to your designs. If you are available, you can work overtime here to do more designs. There will be a percentage of the profits for you.”
“Oh, thanks, Mr. Qin, I’ll work hard!”
Qin Muxuan was touched deeply. She wondered if those new clients truly had taken a fancy to her designs. Maybe it was only because Qin Feng had introduced her to them.
‘Perhaps he wants to help me because he feels it is very hard for me to raise Xiaobai alone. He has helped me so many times.’
“By the way, Mr. Qin, I plan to hold a housewarming party in the house I just rented, would you like to come?”
“I never realize you would do this kind of thing.” Qin Feng was a bit surprised. Qin Muxuan was always a girl who liked to stay low-key in his view. Ever since she started to work here, she had never held any parties.
“I never wanted to hold one, but our colleagues insisted on having fun at my place, so I just had that idea.” Qin Muxuan chuckled and continued, “It’s good to have a party there, otherwise the place would be too lonely for me and Xiaobai.”
“OK, just tell me the date. By the way, I’ll begin to develop a new set of designs the week after next. You should arrange a schedule now because you are not allowed to ask for day-offs in the week after next and the other two weeks after that, so you have to make time for your kid.”
“No problem.”
Qin Muxuan agreed right away. The kindergarten she had found for Qin Xiaobai had a childcare center which could let her pick up Qin Xiaobai in the middle of the night or arrange a place for him to stay for the night.
Qin Muxuan didn’t want Qin Xiaobai to live in the kindergarten because of her heavy workload, but she also knew that this was a problem she couldn’t avoid as a single mother.
Qin Muxuan went back to her seat, feeling quite relaxed.
The agent had claimed that her house had bad Feng Shui, but she actually found the house had brought her good luck. Ever since she moved in the house, her life had become only stabler than before and her income had increased, and even her relationship with her colleagues had got better.
In fact, she always had a good relationship with her colleagues. However, ever since she moved into the Gu’s house, her colleagues all knew that Qin Xiaobai was Gu Zijin’s kid. After the rumors had been spread, Qin Muxuan was isolated for no reason.
Now that she had moved out of the Gu’s house, everything seemed to have gone back to normal. She felt herself fitting in again.
“Dabai, why did you buy so many things? Are we rich now?”
After school, Qin Xiaobai was brought to the supermarket by Qin Muxuan.
Qin Muxuan seldom brought him to the large supermarket. However, this time she bought a lot of things that they would not need in their everyday life as if she wanted to empty her pocket.
Qin Muxuan said smilingly, “No, my colleagues want me to hold a party. I have to buy some supplies for that.”
“Oh.”
Qin Muxuan seldom attended any party since she had to take care of Qin Xiaobai. It was inappropriate for her to bring Qin Xiaobai to the party. Nor could she leave the boy at home alone.
So, she didn’t have much experience in holding a party. On the day of the party, she saw her colleagues drinking, shouting, singing, dancing and throwing the bottles as if they were about to tear the roof while some girls even tried to throw themselves at Qin Feng. Then she couldn’t help feeling worried.
She was afraid that she would receive complaints from her neighbors.
The villas were situated far away from each other, but she was pretty certain that the noise her colleagues made could even be heard from ten miles away!
While everyone was having a blast, Qin Muxuan sneaked out secretly and tried to find if any neighbor of hers was heading toward her house.
As a result, there truly was!
Heart beating fast, Qin Muxuan groaned inside.
‘I’m doomed. I’ll be cursed for sure!’
After she prepared her apologies, she saw the man who came over. Then she was utterly shocked instantly.
“Youting?!”
