Chapter 759 Shen Zhuo Turns into a Weasel in a Melon Field
Meng Jie hesitated for a few seconds, but still obeyed Mo Erhao and went into the office in her high heels.
Seeing her father on the sofa, whom she hadn't seen for several years, Meng Jie's expression was awkward yet tinged with longing.
No matter what, he was her biological father.
Although the father and daughter disagreed, their relationship remained strong.
Her father actually loves her very much, but he's a bit stubborn when it comes to her studies.
"Jie'er, Jie'er..."
Meng Huaiyu was very excited to see his daughter whom he hadn't seen for several years.
He stood up from the sofa, wanting to hug his daughter.
Remembering something, he withdrew his hand, his expression turning sour.
"Dad...Dad, what brings you here? How are you and Mom doing?"
After a while, Meng Jie was able to face her father with ease.
Anyway, she had already gone against her father's arrangements, so she would have to face it sooner or later.
"You...you still remember your dad and your mom?"
Meng Huaiyu's eyes welled up with tears, and his hands trembled.
"I'm sorry, Dad."
An apology that was years overdue, just one sentence, broke Meng Huaiyu's defenses. He walked over and hugged his daughter tightly.
“Silly child, even if you don’t want to study according to your father’s arrangements, you can’t sneak back and not come home to see us! Your mother was so worried when she found out.”
"dad…"
Holding her father, Meng Jie felt a moment of regret. But several years had passed, and she had already disobeyed her father's arrangements; regret was useless now.
"Let Dad see, have you lost weight? How are you feeling?"
Meng Huaiyu released his daughter and examined her closely.
"I'm fine! Dad, I'm sorry I haven't been home to see you all these years. Are you and Mom alright?"
"We're all fine, it's just that your mom misses you a lot."
"Dad, don't you miss me?"
Having resolved her issues with her father, Meng Jie became more carefree and mischievous.
"Of course I miss you! As soon as I found out you were working at your son-in-law's company, I came looking for you."
"Dad... he's not your son-in-law yet."
Meng Jie blushed deeply at her father's words.
"It's only a matter of time. Didn't your mother-in-law say that she's going to hold an engagement banquet for you two soon?"
"You watched the video online?"
"Of course I saw it. I even received a threatening text message from a woman! It seems to be from Bai Jingya, the fake heiress of the Bai Group. What's going on between you two? Daughter, you can't ruin other people's relationships and become a third party."
Mo Erhao became anxious upon hearing his future father-in-law's words.
He pulled Meng Jie close, embraced her, and hurriedly explained to Meng Huaiyu.
"Dad... Uncle, that was just Bai Jingya's wishful thinking. I've never had anything to do with her. She was the one who wanted to get me, ruined my relationship with Xiao Jie, and deliberately framed and slandered Xiao Jie."
"Oh, I see! Jie'er, I'm so glad you didn't become the hated third party! Dad was so angry I lost my temper. Even your mother-in-law has denied it, and Dad still..."
"Dad, I've never met or had any dealings with that Bai Jingya. I guess she likes Erhao but can't have him, so she's deliberately slandering me. Don't you know what kind of person your daughter is?"
A hint of resentment towards Bai Jingya flashed in Meng Jie's eyes, but she quickly composed herself.
“Dad knows, my darling daughter, that’s not that kind of person. I came to see you today to take you home. From now on, you can work wherever you want. Your son-in-law has also promised me that he won’t interfere with your work.”
"Dad...it's a bit early to call him son-in-law. Please call him Erhao!"
Meng Jie's eyelids drooped, and she was too embarrassed to look at Mo Erhao.
Her father kept referring to her as his son-in-law, his mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law, which made her very embarrassed.
She and Mo Erhao are still in the early stages of their relationship, and it remains to be seen what changes may occur in the future.
It was indeed inappropriate for her father to call her that.
"Xiao Jie, it's okay. We'll get married sooner or later, so it's not wrong for Dad to call you that."
Mo Erhao was secretly delighted.
He was eager to change his address and get closer to his father-in-law.
"Look, your son-in-law has already agreed, what are you still being coy about? Your mother is home, waiting for you to call her son-in-law. How about we go home together for a meal later? Son-in-law, what do you think?"
Meng Huaiyu turned his gaze to Mo Erhao.
"Okay! Dad, this is my first time visiting, so I need to prepare a gift. Please wait a moment."
Mo Erhao changed his tune very naturally.
He picked up his phone, about to dial Shen Zhuo's number, when he saw Shen Zhuo standing to the side in the office, holding a teapot, looking like a gossipy morsel in a melon patch.
He kicked it while cursing.
"Aren't you going to get out here and prepare gifts for my parents-in-law?"
"Yes, Vice President."
Shen Zhuo, with a gossipy look on his face, turned around and took the teapot out.
Mo Erhao then realized that kicking Shen Zhuo in front of his future wife and father-in-law might have damaged his refined and elegant image. He immediately tried to make amends with a forced smile.
"Xiao Jie, Dad, Shen Zhuo and I grew up together, we're like brothers, we have a very good relationship, and we're very casual with each other in private, so please don't mind. I'm very polite, I'm not usually like this."
Meng Jie chuckled to herself.
This side of Mo Erhao is actually better than his cold and aloof demeanor.
"Dad understands. You're brothers, so it's fine to be casual! There's no need to prepare gifts, right? Your mom will be happy as long as you come home."
Meng Huaiyu quickly expressed his understanding.
The son-in-law is not a violent person; it's just a harmless joke between friends.
"As a future son-in-law, it is essential to bring a gift on my first visit to Xiaojie's home. This shows how much I value her."
"Alright then! Thank you, son-in-law."
Meng Huaiyu waved his hand helplessly.
Half an hour later, Shen Zhuo and another assistant from the secretariat knocked on the door carrying large bags of gifts.
"Junior Vice President, based on your status, President Meng's preferences, and the distinguished status of the President's husband, we have purchased these gifts. Do you think they are appropriate?"
Shen Zhuo's words revealed his shrewdness and tact.
This not only highlights Mo Erhao's status but also emphasizes the nobility of Meng Huaiyu and Meng Jie, as well as the importance of the father and daughter in Mo Erhao's heart.
As expected of someone who has followed Mo Erhao for a long time, understands his preferences, and is deeply immersed in the profession of special assistant, he is the most professional special assistant.
His speaking skills were so impressive that even the secretary in the secretariat wanted to applaud him.
This also made Mo Erhao, Meng Huaiyu, and Meng Jie very satisfied.
"Okay, thanks for your hard work!"
Mo Erhao said it casually.
"It's no trouble at all. We are honored to serve President Mo, his wife, and President Meng."
The secretary in the secretariat seemed to have lost all sense of hearing.
When did Assistant Shen become so greasy and fond of flattery?
"Shen Zhuo..."
Mo Erhao also felt that his special assistant and good brother had become unusually greasy today.
"I'm here."
"You can go now! Put the gifts in my car and have the driver get them ready. I'll be off work in half an hour and heading to Xiaojie's house."
"Okay, Mr. Mo."
Shen Zhuo agreed and, together with the secretary from the secretariat, carried the gifts out. Half an hour later, Mo Erhao, Meng Huaiyu, and Meng Jie got into the car and returned to the Meng family's east building.
