After thinking about this, the expression on Mu Nuannuan's face became even colder.
When those old men talked to Mu Nuannuan, Mu Nuannuan responded lightly, not enthusiastically.
The older people are, the more they care about their face sometimes. Some of them became embarrassed when they saw Mu Nuannuan like this.
This meal was not a pleasant one.
After the dinner was over, Mu Nuannuan and Mu Zhengxiu went back to the hotel together.
The two of them didn't talk all the way back. When they arrived at the hotel and took the elevator, Mu Zhengxiu suddenly said: "Nuan Nuan, don't think that I am taking advantage of you. Everything I do now is for the Mu family."
Mu Zhengxiu's words completely stood on the moral high ground.
For the Mu family.
—Your sister deserves better.
—Don’t forget that you are also a member of the Mu family.
—I am here for the Mu family.
Everyone has their own reasons for taking advantage of her.
But what about her
Did she deserve to be used by them and resigned to her fate
Mu Nuannuan turned to look at him, with a cold expression on her fair face, which became even more cold under the incandescent light in the elevator.
She looked at Mu Zhengxiu intently: "But the harm I have suffered since I was a child is all from the Mu family."
When Mu Zhengxiu heard this, his face suddenly tightened and his expression became complicated.
As Mu Tingxiao said, Mu Zhengxiu is a smart man, and I don't need to waste words to talk to him.
After a while, Mu Zhengxiu said aloud: "It was your father and your sister who were confused in the past. Those things will not happen again in the future."
Ding-
Reaching the selected floor, the elevator opened.
Mu Nuannuan walked out first: "Mu Wanqi found someone to kill me. Is that just confusion?"
After saying that, she was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. She turned to look at Mu Zhengxiu and said faintly: "Grandpa, there is something I have always been confused about."
Mu Zhengxiu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his face was stern. Probably due to the influence of what she said before, his expression was not very good-looking.
"Back then, why did the Mu family agree to let Mu Wanqi and Mu Tingxiao get engaged? Even if Mu Tingxiao is really a disfigured and inhumane man, he can still find a woman better than Mu Wanqi to be his mistress."
Mu Nuannuan's small skills might be able to deceive Mu Liyan, but in front of Mu Zhengxiu, those small skills are unnecessary.
Since Mu Zhengxiu could find out so easily that she asked reporters to go to the factory to take secret photos, it would be difficult to deceive him about other things.
It's better to say it directly.
An extremely sharp light flashed in Mu Zhengxiu's eyes, and then he said coldly: "This has nothing to do with you, just be your own young lady of the Mu family, no matter how much you hate your father and your sister, they are you Relatives, the blood flowing in your bones belongs to the Mu family."
This was not the first time Mu Nuannuan heard such words.
She didn't expect Mu Zhengxiu to answer her question, but such a statement made her laugh.
Then, she said coldly: "The heart makes blood. Can you make my heart belong to the Mu family?"
Mu Zhengxiu's expression suddenly changed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Mu Nuannuan left with a smile.
Mu Zhengxiu and Mu Tingxiao are similar in that they are both people who are used to controlling others.
It's just that Mu Zhengxiu's desire for control is superficial, while Mu Tingxiao's is calm but extremely powerful.
…
After accompanying Mu Zhengxiu to dinner parties these past few days, Mu Nuannuan was already tired both physically and mentally.
Mu Zhengxiu expected to go back the day after tomorrow. Mu Nuannuan didn't want to stay any longer and wanted to go back directly tomorrow.
She opened her suitcase and was about to pack her luggage when she received a call from Mu Tingxiao.
"Just returned to the hotel?"
"Yes." Mu Nuannuan sat down on the edge of the bed. The events of the past few days had still affected her somewhat.
Mu Tingxiao was quiet for a moment, and then he suddenly heard him ask: "What happened?"
Perhaps sensing that Mu Nuannuan's mood was not right, his voice lowered involuntarily.
Mu Nuannuan felt warm and said, "It's okay, I just want to go back."
"Go back tomorrow?"
"Well, tomorrow."
"I will pick you up."
After talking to Mu Tingxiao on the phone for a while, Mu Nuannuan felt that her mood had improved a lot. She quickly packed her things and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, she ignored Mu Zhengxiu and left the hotel directly for the airport.
She was really tired of the people and things in the Mu family.
Sitting on the plane, Mu Nuannuan sent a text message to Mu Tingxiao and turned off her phone.
Thinking of meeting Mu Tingxiao in two hours, she felt a little excited in her heart.
When she got off the plane, she left the airport and turned on her phone to find that Mu Tingxiao had not texted her back, but instead had several missed calls from Shen Liang.
"Nuan Nuan?"
Someone called her from behind.
Mu Nuannuan thought she had heard wrong and didn't care until someone tapped her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw Si Chengyu.
Mu Nuannuan was a little surprised: "Brother?"
After the previous banquet was discussed, Mu Nuannuan was no longer so repulsive to Si Chengyu.
Si Chengyu was wearing a long concealed plaid coat and a white turtleneck sweater underneath. His hair was not done much and hung down softly. He looked warm and friendly.
His eyes fell on the suitcase in Mu Nuannuan's hand: "Where are you going?"
"I just came back from a business trip to City C." Mu Nuannuan realized that Si Chengyu didn't have an assistant or agent around him, and there was no suitcase: "What about you?"
"I just came back after going to another place to record a program. I couldn't buy a plane ticket at the moment, so they took the next flight back." Si Chengyu looked around: "Tingxiao didn't come to pick you up?"
"Maybe he hasn't arrived yet. I have to call and ask."
At this moment, Mu Nuannuan's phone rang with a notification tone for a new text message.
It was a message from Mu Tingxiao: "If something happens, I will ask Shiye to pick you up."
The expression on Mu Nuannuan's face paused slightly, and she replied "hmm" to Mu Tingxiao.
This small change in her expression did not escape Si Chengyu's eyes: "We'll be stuck in traffic again when we go back later. If Ting Xiao hasn't come yet, I can drive you back first."
Mu Nuannuan nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, brother."
Si Chengyu took out a mask and put it on, then reached out to lift the suitcase in Mu Nuannuan's hand: "Follow me."
Mu Nuannuan wanted to say that she could lift it herself, but Si Chengyu had already walked a long way, so she had to follow him.
Feeling that some girls passing by were looking at Si Chengyu, she suddenly remembered that Si Chengyu was a celebrity. If someone recognized him...
So, she slowed down and deliberately lagged behind Si Chengyu.
Si Chengyu put Mu Nuannuan's luggage in the car. He turned around and saw Mu Nuannuan sneaking over here like a thief. He couldn't help but laugh: "You look more suspicious with your covert appearance."
