Chapter 587: Chapter 513: Willing to Go to the Ends of the Earth with You_4
"Mr. Luo... this, this..." Mu Kaihua was so excited that he couldn’t finish his sentence, obviously surprised by the content above.
Although Luo Meijuan was also very curious, she still maintained a dignified posture.
Luo Jiaming smiled and said, "I’ve been abroad conducting inspections recently and did not have time to deal with domestic matters. The last time I visited your office was to understand more about you. Afterwards, I conducted further investigations and finally made the decision to hire you as the dean of Luo Hospital. What do you think?"
Dean?
As soon as this was said, the entire Mu Family was shocked. It was known that Mu Kaihua had been evaluating professional titles recently, and Luo Meijuan had said that it would take him at least ten or eight years to get a promotion. After all, getting promoted was not just about qualifications but also involved complicated relationships. It was unexpected that Luo Jiaming would directly offer Mu Kaihua such a high position.
"Actually, it was my son who recommended you to me. However, people know that I don’t like to act out of personal favoritism, so even though he recommended you, I still needed to test your character and ability. After observing you secretly for several months, I believe that you are fully capable of fulfilling the duties of a dean. I hope you won’t refuse, as no place abroad is better than one’s own homeland, don’t you think?"
By saying this, Mu Kaihua could not refuse without appearing ungrateful, especially since staying in Aus City and landing such a good job was literally the dream he had always hoped for. How could he possibly say no?
Although Mu Kaihua felt happy inside, he still displayed the composure expected of someone his age. After thoughtful consideration, he voiced the doubt in his heart: "Mr. Luo, since you’ve been so direct, I won’t beat around the bush either. I want to ask, besides recognizing my talent and ability, what’s the main reason for this decision?"
Luo Jiaming was stunned for a moment but soon burst into laughter, his gaze then shifted towards his son: "Then I’ll say it—my son recommended you because he wants to keep your daughter here. Do you believe me?"
Mu Kaihua and Luo Meijuan were stunned again, and simultaneously turned to look at Mu Chenxi, who also did not expect that Luo Jiaming and Xia Yi were already aware of her relationship with Luo Shangqing, and evidently, they approved, judging from their cheerful demeanor.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Mu Chenxi looked towards her parents, wondering how to explain herself when Luo Shangqing had already placed the hand that was holding hers onto the tabletop, clearly making their relationship public.
Seeing the surprised looks on her parents’ faces, Mu Chenxi felt extremely uneasy, whereas the man beside her spoke up calmly, "Uncle Mu, Aunt Mu, I apologize for only telling you this news now. If possible, I would have waited until Chenxi graduated to announce our relationship. However, I must keep her here now, so it’s necessary for both of you to be aware. Yes, I really like Chenxi and she likes me back; we are currently dating. Although she is my student, she is also the one I want to spend my life with. Thus, I don’t want her to leave to a foreign country. I want her to stay by my side, to protect her as she grows and to provide her with the utmost support and encouragement. I hope she can become an outstanding person like Uncle and Aunt in the future. Of course, I respect her decision, if she wants to..."
"I don’t want to emigrate," Mu Chenxi suddenly interjected, her tone firm. Luo Shangqing’s arrangement had profoundly moved her, and his words made her nearly tearful. He was never one for expressive declarations, yet he was willing to humble himself for their future. Both Academician Luo and Mrs. Xia must have supported him, and he must have done a lot of work in front of his parents to secure such an opportunity. His heartfelt efforts were clear, and she could not let them go to waste. She felt ashamed for her earlier hesitation and indecision.
"Dad, Mom, I don’t want to emigrate," Mu Chenxi repeated her decision, at the same time, clutching the hand Luo Shangqing had placed on the table, "I like Professor Luo, and I want to be with him."
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became very strange, the elders of the Luo Family maintained a calm demeanor, while the two from the Mu Family were stunned, unable to utter a single word.
After leaving the Xiangshan Club, the two families said goodbye at the entrance, with Xia Yi warmly inviting Mu Chenxi to come over to her house.
Luo Shangqing quietly made a phone call gesture to Mu Chenxi, and Mu Chenxi then got into Mu Kaihua’s car.
On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was somewhat awkward, until Luo Meijuan couldn’t help but say: "Isn’t your Teacher Luo a bit old in age?"
Before Mu Chenxi could speak, Mu Kaihua said: "It’s better that he’s older than Xixi, he can take care of people. Young ones are immature and only make you angry."
Luo Meijuan glared at him: "Did you know about this already?"
"No, I really didn’t know, and even the matter of becoming the dean, Mr. Luo only mentioned it today, I had no idea," sighed Mu Kaihua. "Well, no wonder little Luo has been so thorough, to keep Chenxi here, he has put in a lot of effort. I know Mr. Luo, he never shows partiality."
Luo Meijuan is clever, how could she not see Luo Shangqing’s sincerity towards her daughter. Although she didn’t quite agree with her daughter dating during her school years, considering it was Luo Shangqing, someone who could walk by her side in life and guide her, and seeing the open and supportive attitude of the Luo family’s elders, how could she have any reason to object.
"Sigh." Luo Meijuan took Mu Chenxi’s hand, "Since you’ve made up your mind, Mom won’t force you, going abroad was originally to create better opportunities for you. Now that you have little Luo, what the Luo family can offer you is thousands and thousands times better than what we could, following him, we also feel reassured."
"Mom, a wealthy life doesn’t matter to me." Mu Chenxi hugged her, sniffing, "What I pursue is for our family to be together, safe and sound, so, whether Dad becomes the dean or not, we’re not leaving, okay?"
"Okay, we’re not leaving." Luo Meijuan also became a bit emotional, "It’s Mom and Dad who overlooked your feelings, later on, you and little Luo get along well, don’t let him down."
Luo Shangqing watched as the car drove away, and then Xia Yi sighed, "Shangqing, when Mom sees this child now, the vitality in her eyes is something you didn’t have at that time, we demanded too much from you, and you never got to enjoy your childhood and youth. Now, you’ve grown up and have your own life and decisions, so, whatever you do, Mom will support you relentlessly, I hope you don’t blame Mom and Dad."
Luo Shangqing’s gaze returned, his lips slightly lifted, "My lost youth, I will let it bloom even more brilliantly in Mu Chenxi, so, I will no longer feel regretful."
Isn’t that right, Mu Chenxi~
