After Shen Liang finished speaking, he walked over and took Mu Nuannuan's arm to walk outside.
Mu Tingxiao stood up from the ground, walked to Mu Nuannuan in three steps and held her in his hand: "Follow me home."
"I don't want to go back." Mu Nuannuan lowered her eyes and threw away his hand without even looking at him, her expression extremely cold.
Mu Tingxiao's ink-like eyes turned gray for a moment, but soon disappeared. He tensed his jaw, a look of patience on his face, and his hands hung by his sides, clenching and unclenching, then clenching again...
Finally, he opened his lips slightly, and his deep voice was as soft as coaxing a child: "I will pick you up in a few days."
The unquestionable tone was not asking Mu Nuannuan, but informing her.
"Let's go." Mu Nuannuan ignored him, pulled Shen Liang and walked outside.
Gu Zhiyan glanced at Mu Tingxiao and hesitated to speak.
"I'll send them out." After saying these words, Gu Zhiyan went out.
All three people went out, leaving Mu Tingxiao alone in the room.
He stood motionless for a long time before slowly bending his knees and sitting down on the sofa.
He bent his arms, put his elbows on his knees, and held his forehead with the other hand. His upper body leaned forward slightly, showing a very tired posture.
It looks a bit fragile.
…
Gu Zhiyan's address is relatively secret, and no media knows it yet.
But he still looked at the gate of the community uneasily for a long time before letting Shen Liang and Mu Nuannuan leave.
He wanted to send the two of them directly to Shen Liang's residence, but thinking that there was Mu Tingxiao at home, he had to watch Shen Liang's car leave and wait for a few minutes at the gate of the community to make sure that no media cars were following him. , then turned around and walked back.
As a result, he met Mu Tingxiao at the elevator entrance.
Mu Tingxiao walked out of the elevator with a cold face, raised his eyes and looked at Gu Zhiyan: "I'm going to trouble you these days."
Gu Zhiyan understood that he was referring to Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan obviously didn't want to see Mu Tingxiao now, so she could only ask Gu Zhiyan to pay more attention to her situation.
Gu Zhiyan said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Have you always troubled me a lot? I'm not used to it if you don't trouble me any day."
Mu Tingxiao didn't say anything, he raised his feet and was about to leave.
Gu Zhiyan quickly stopped him: "What happened this time? Is it really related to Movie Emperor Si?"
Mu Tingxiao paused slightly, but left without saying anything.
After leaving the community, Mu Tingxiao called Si Chengyu while driving.
The phone only rang once before being picked up. The owner of the phone seemed to be impatient to receive his call.
"Did you finally call me?" Si Chengyu's voice was unhurried, even with a hint of smile.
Mu Tingxiao's voice was as cold as ice: "Where can we meet?"
"my home."
Mu Tingxiao hung up the phone and drove directly to Si Chengyu's home.
When Si Chengyu came to open the door, Mu Tingxiao grabbed him by the collar of his clothes, pushed him in with a strong hand, and closed the door with his backhand.
"Why do you do this? If anything happens, come to me!" Mu Tingxiao had a sinister face, and a strong sinister aura emerged between his eyebrows.
He held Si Chengyu's collar tightly, and the collar of his shirt strangled his neck tightly. His face turned red from suppressing it, but the expression on his face remained calm and calm.
It seems that the two of them are not good brothers drawing swords and fighting each other at this time, but they are still the deeply affectionate cousins they used to be.
"Coming for you? Is it useful?" Si Chengyu smiled slightly, with a bit of weirdness in his tone: "I'm coming for you, and you don't feel any pain at all. Only things related to Mu Nuannuan can make you happy. So impulsive."
Mu Tingxiao's expression became darker, and he threw him to the ground. As if he felt that he was not relieved enough, he clenched his fists, but did not make any move.
He showed no mercy this time, Si Chengyu was thrown to the ground hard, his face changed in pain, and he could no longer maintain the calm expression on his face.
He coughed several times before finding his voice: "It seems I made the right bet."
"What's the point of dealing with a woman?" Mu Tingxiao almost said this through gritted teeth.
"Isn't it enough if it works?" Si Chengyu laughed again, which was particularly dazzling.
Mu Tingxiao stared at him for a few seconds: "Did you hear the conversation between grandpa and Mu Qingfeng that day in the teahouse? That's why you did all this?"
I don't know which word in this sentence irritated Si Chengyu. His face turned pale in an instant and turned as white as a piece of paper.
He coughed violently while covering his chest, and his expression became panicked: "What do you know?"
"What are you afraid that I will know?" Mu Tingxiao approached him step by step, with no emotion on his face.
The two of them faced off for a long time, and Si Chengyu suddenly laughed loudly, looking crazy and completely without any trace of his usual high-spirited appearance.
"You don't know at all, and you will never know what you want to know." Si Chengyu said in a determined tone, then turned around and staggered back to the room.
…
Mu Nuannuan and Shen Liang returned to Shen Liang's home safely.
"What do you want to drink?" Shen Liang asked while giving Mu Nuannuan slippers.
Mu Nuannuan took the slippers and shook her head.
Entering the room, Mu Nuannuan hugged a pillow and settled on the sofa.
Shen Liang still poured her a glass of hot water, handed it to her, and sat down next to her: "What's going on?"
Mu Nuannuan held the cup of hot water, curled up on the sofa, and told Shen Liang the recent events and her speculations.
"Impossible..." Shen Liang scratched his hair irritably: "The relationship between Movie Emperor Si and the big boss should be very good. How could he do such a thing? There is no reason?"
"Yeah." Mu Nuannuan nodded in agreement.
Even Shen Liang, an outsider, felt that it was impossible for Si Chengyu to do such a thing, let alone Mu Tingxiao.
She was different from them from the beginning.
Shen Liang's family is harmonious. Although Mu Tingxiao has been kidnapped, he still has his father, grandfather, and other relatives.
She is the only one who has been like an outsider in the Mu family since she was a child. She has no sense of belonging to the Mu family. She has no relatives and only one friend: Shen Liang. She has to be independent and brave since she was a child, which makes her develop a very sensitive personality. character.
She trusts her own judgment.
Mu Tingxiao never denied it, so Si Chengyu must have done it.
Seeing Mu Nuannuan's lack of energy, Shen Liang hugged her distressedly: "I didn't mean that, Nuannuan, don't be like this..."
"I'm just a little tired." Mu Nuannuan twitched the corner of her mouth and found that she really couldn't laugh at this time.
Even if she was just pretending, she couldn't laugh.
