Shen Liang and Gu Zhiyan were both stunned after hearing Li Jiuheng's words.
The two looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Shen Liang met Mu Nuannuan when they were in high school. Before that, Mu Nuannuan had always been a loner and didn't seem to have many friends.
But Li Jiuheng's tone didn't sound like a lie at all.
Li Jiuheng continued: "As for how she and I met, I think there is no need to tell Miss Shen."
When he spoke, his eyes were still staring at the elevator door. He was so calm and indifferent, but there was a calm aura in his tone.
"Mr. Li, you..."
Shen Liang was about to say something when he was interrupted by the sound of the elevator arriving.
Li Jiuheng turned to look at Shen Liang and said calmly: "We're here."
The three of them walked out of the elevator.
Shen Liang walked up to Li Jiuheng and blocked her way: "How do I know if you are lying?"
"If it weren't for you being her friend, I might not have given you the chance to question me." Li Jiuheng's face was no longer calm, and there was a haze in his eyes, making him look angry.
Shen Liang's expression changed slightly: "Since you knew she had friends, why didn't you contact us when you found her?"
"Why should I contact you? What responsibilities and obligations do I have?" Li Jiuheng curled his lips and showed a sarcastic smile.
"you… "
Before Shen Liang could say anything else, Gu Zhiyan pulled him behind him.
Gu Zhiyan's face didn't look too good either: "At least, Nuannuan and we are true friends, what about you?"
Li Jiuheng ignored Gu Zhiyan's question and raised his wrist to check the time: "I have a few patients with appointments for the afternoon, so I won't send them away."
After he finished speaking, he strode towards the parking lot.
Gu Zhiyan turned to look at Shen Liang, and seeing the worry on her face, he couldn't help but said loudly, "How about we take Nuannuan away?"
"Nuan Nuan will not leave with us. No matter how Li Jiuheng and Nuan Nuan met, I can see that he is really good to Nuan Nuan and will not do anything to hurt Nuan Nuan."
Shen Liang paused and said, "Besides, Li Jiuheng has taken care of Nuan Nuan for three years, so it would be unkind for us to take Nuan Nuan away like this."
At this moment, Gu Zhiyan's cell phone rang.
He answered the phone and didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone. He responded: "Well, send it to me now."
"What?" Shen Liang asked him curiously.
Gu Zhiyan replied: "I asked someone to check Li Jiuheng's information."
When the two returned to the car, Gu Zhiyan received an email from his subordinate.
As he read, he read: "Li Jiuheng, a doctor of criminal psychology, was once employed as a criminal psychology consultant by a criminal investigation detachment..."
Seeing the end, Gu Zhiyan couldn't help but look at Li Jiuheng in a different light: "The resume is very clean, he is a talent."
"Yeah." Shen Liang couldn't help but nodded.
But the doubts in my heart are getting heavier and heavier.
…
The days of Mu Nuannuan were as ordinary as water.
During the day, Li Jiuheng went to work in the clinic, while Mu Nuannuan was alone at home, with a small range of activities.
Perhaps because she leads a more comfortable life, her health is getting better and better. Although she still looks very thin, she is much better than when she was discharged from the hospital.
After Shen Liang asked for her phone number, he called her often.
That day, when Li Jiuheng went out, she received a call from Shen Liang.
"Nuan Nuan, are you out shopping? I'll pick you up."
Mu Nuannuan actually didn't like to go out very much, but Shen Liang was too enthusiastic, so she had no choice but to agree.
Shen Liang came so quickly that Mu Nuannuan even suspected that Shen Liang was holding her tight and waited for Li Jiuheng to go out before he came to her.
As soon as she got in the car, Shen Liang pretended to be casual and asked, "How do you get along with Mr. Li?"
Mu Nuannuan buckled her seat belt and replied, "It's okay."
She felt that she and Li Jiuheng didn't look like an unmarried couple at all. Instead, they looked like roommates sharing a house, having dinner together and not communicating much.
But this kind of relationship made her feel comfortable.
"That's it..." Shen Liang paused, looked at her hesitantly, and finally said nothing.
The two went to the mall together.
Shen Liang still loved shopping and took Mu Nuannuan to try on many clothes.
Everything went smoothly except that I met a reporter when I was leaving the mall.
In the past three years, Shen Liang's acting career has been booming, and now she is a first-line actress. There are always some reporters specifically following her.
"Run!" Shen Liang pulled Mu Nuannuan and ran back.
"What's wrong?" Although Mu Nuannuan didn't understand what was going on, she still ran with her.
Shen Liang had no choice but to explain to Mu Nuannuan: "They are here to chase me. I am an actor. Recently... I have been a bit popular."
During this period, Mu Nuannuan didn't follow dramas except occasionally watching the news, so she didn't know that Shen Liang was an actor.
There were already a lot of people in the shopping mall, and reporters chased Shen Liang. The scene was a bit chaotic for a while.
This directly led to Mu Nuannuan and Shen Liang getting separated.
When Mu Nuannuan looked back, Shen Liang's figure was nowhere to be found.
She found a corner and called Shen Liang.
The call was answered quickly.
Shen Liang's tone was a little urgent: "Nuan Nuan, I'm in the parking lot, where are you?"
"I'm still in the mall." Mu Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what she said.
Shen Liang said: "Come here quickly, I'll wait for you in the car."
"No, you go first, I will go back by myself, lest those reporters come to find you again..."
Of course Shen Liang didn't want to leave first, but in the end he was persuaded by Mu Nuannuan on the grounds that he would call her when he got home.
Mu Nuannuan hung up the phone, turned around and saw a little girl holding a little stuffed animal, standing in a corner not far away looking at her.
The little girl wears a navy-style blue and white striped top, with powder blue shorts that just reach her knees. She has a pair of round black eyes, a chubby face with baby fat, and black hair draped over her shoulders. It is covered with a layer of soft bangs...
She was looking at Mu Nuannuan with curiosity, and she looked so cute in her little face.
Mu Nuannuan compared her height and guessed that she might be three or four years old.
Mu Nuannuan looked around and found that there was no adult, so she walked over and squatted in front of her and asked her: "Kid, where are your parents?"
Upon closer inspection, Mu Nuannuan felt that the little girl looked familiar.
An idea flashed in her mind, and the pouty little face in front of her overlapped with the face she saw the day she was discharged from the hospital.
No way…
Is this Mu Tingxiao's daughter
What is it called? It seems to be something like "mumu".
Mu Mu tilted his head and looked at Mu Nuannuan for a few seconds, then suddenly squinted his eyes and smiled: "Pretty sister..."
Mu Nuannuan's heart moved. Does this little dumpling still remember her
She remembered that the little dumpling called her the same way that day.
