Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 37 Offended Mr. Mu

"God! I'm freezing! Who was the jerk that messed with the air conditioner?" Rain Xia yelled and rushed

out of the office. It seemed that he was eager to find out who did this and was going to kill him. Edward

stopped and gave Rain a cold eye. Rain was confused and wondered if he had done something that

offended him.

Of course! Of course he had offended him! Because that so-called 'jerk' was Edward's son, so how

could Edward not be angry?

"Edward, you're here! Wow! And with Justin too! When did Justin come here? Why didn't you come see

me?" Rain put on a saccharine smile. Everyone could tell that he was buttering them up.

Justin rolled his eyes, thinking why couldn't this man act like a normal person? Why did he behave so

oddly every time Justin showed up?

"Uncle Rain, do you have a problem with daddy? If not, how come you just noticed him? He was there

a long time!" What he said would affect both Edward and Rain. How dare Edward hire that woman?

How dare Rain call him jerk? Killing two birds with one stone, that was his favorite thing to do.

"Justin, Did I offend you today? Don't start with me again!" Rain was pissed off. He couldn't figure out

how he had offended both of them. Could anyone give him a reason? He was always left out. This time

he wouldn't stand for it. He would know what was going on.

"You didn't offend me. But you offended Mr. Mu." Justin wore a bright smile on his face. His smile was

as beautiful as a blooming flower.

Rain scratched his head. Did he really offend him? Why didn't he realize it?

"Edward, I didn't even talk to you today, so how did I offend you? I just..." Rain almost cried! He finally

knew what was going on here. Justin was all dressed up. He should have known that only Mr. Mu and

his son had the right to adjust the air conditioner however they wanted! No wonder that Mr. Mu stared

him with that horrible look. He had called his son a jerk. Wouldn't that mean that Mr. Mu was a jerk too?

But why did they turn the temperature down so low?

"We're going to grab a bite to eat. Do you want to go with us?" Edward decided to ignore them. He

wasn't stupid, he knew the tricks Justin played. It was difficult to get him involved in anything, unless he

was willing to be.

"Great. Since you guys are buying, I'd be stupid not to go." Rain still remembered the expensive bill last

night. He'd make that up by eating on their dime.

"Edward, can I go with you?" Mary asked in a whisper. Mary was unwilling to be ignored. She also

wondered why there were so many handsome men in the FX International Group! She may have a

crush on Edward, but the man next to him was just as hot!

"Since you are willing to go, then let's go!" Being a CEO of a multinational company, Edward knew that

sometimes he couldn't do things in an absolute way, leaving no space to compromise, so he always

remembered to show some respect to the others.

"Well, Edward, won't you introduce me to this beautiful lady?" Rain really wanted to laugh. The reason

why Justin lowered the temperature of the air conditioner was this lady, who was standing right in front

of him! Alas! Rain had not noticed her, either! Mary was having a very bad day.

"This is Mary, the daughter of the CEO of Ouyang Foreign Trade." Edward introduced her with a distant

voice instead of a warm one. Rain paid little attention to her as well. If Edward didn't care, neither did

he.

"Oh, so you are Mary. I am sorry, I didn't see you just now. My name is Rain Xia, deputy CEO of the FX

International Group. Nice to meet you." He reached out his long, slender fingers to shake with her

without realizing what he said made Mary so awkward.

"Mr. Xia, nice to meet you too." Mary thought she was really calm today. Although she was totally

ignored by them, she still could talk to them peacefully. If others treated her like this, she would have

already lost her temper. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Justin was unhappy. He couldn't understand why they would take that annoying woman with them!

"Let's go." Edward carried Justin and walked out first while Rain followed them casually. Mary bit her lip

and caught them up. She knew something was wrong. Everyone ignored her. She resolved to change

her situation.

Due to the hot weather, Edward chose a fancy restaurant which was close to the office. He hated being

hot and sweaty. As they walked in, they immediately drew people's attention. After all, it would be

difficult not to pay attention to handsome men and charming girls, not to mention the cute little boy.

One of Edward's biggest pet peeves was being stared by lots of people when he ate. He'd lose his

appetite. That's why he generally chose to have his meals in a private room.

Mary followed them closely and looked at Edward in admiration now and then. Her face went red with

shyness.

Just like Mr. Mu, Rain never paid attention to people that he didn't care about, so Mary's situation was a

little awkward.

But Justin was glad to see this. As long as this woman didn't pester his daddy, everything was OK,

because Mr. Mu could only belong to his mommy. If other women wanted to get close to his daddy,

they should get his permission first.

Mr. Mu! Did you know your kid already has your future planned out? He had you wrapped around his

little finger.

As soon as they entered the private room, Rain checked the menu. He was going to make up for being

stuck with the bill last night. Justin rolled his eyes for the second time. 'Uncle Rain was so

disrespectful!' Because Justin was hungry, and he should order first!

"Miss Ouyang, please have a seat! Order whatever you like." Mr. Mu! You finally noticed her this time.

She was beginning to wonder if she were invisible.

"Sure. Edward, you can call me Mary! You don't have to be so formal." Mary was annoyed when Mr.

Mu called her Miss Ouyang. It felt like they were strangers and she really didn't like this feeling.

The truth was that because of Daisy, Mary and Edward were absolute strangers. It would be awkward if

Edward didn't give her the cold shoulder.

"Daddy, could I have an ice cream?" Justin interrupted this exchange deliberately. 'Daddy only belongs

to mommy, and not to this woman who was obviously starting to flirt.' Saved by the boy!
