Mu Tingxiao looked at Mu Jinyun's feeble rebuttal like an outsider.
Under his cold gaze, the explanation Mu Jinyun wanted to say was cut off like that.
"Finished?" Mu Tingxiao said sarcastically.
Mu Jinyun moved her lips but was speechless.
Mu Tingxiao sneered, turned and went upstairs to the study.
He closed the study door and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
It was a cold rainy night outside the window, the street lights in the courtyard were dim, the trees overlapped each other, and there were many shadows.
The rain was still falling and the wind was picking up.
Mu Tingxiao stared out the window for a while, and suddenly the scene of Mu Nuannuan and Li Jiuheng standing together flashed before his eyes.
That picture was particularly... dazzling.
…
After Mu Nuannuan and Li Jiuheng returned home, they took a hot bath and changed their clothes.
When she came out, Li Jiuheng had already cooked a bowl of ginger soup for her.
Li Jiuheng brought the ginger soup to her and said, "It might be a bit spicy."
Mu Nuannuan picked up the spoon, and something flashed in her mind.
It seems... someone has cooked ginger soup for her before...
There was a dull pain in her head, and the spoon in her hand fell back into the bowl with a "ding" sound. She closed her eyes and covered her forehead with her hands.
"What's wrong?" Li Jiuheng saw her reaction and quickly leaned forward to look at her, with concern in his tone.
Mu Nuannuan's voice was a little weak: "I have a little headache..."
When Li Jiuheng heard this, his eyes flashed slightly: "Did you remember something?"
"no… "
The dull feeling of pain went away as quickly as it came. She shook her head blankly and turned to ask Li Jiuheng: "Have you made ginger soup for me before?"
Li Jiuheng said with great interest: "What do you think?"
Mu Nuannuan laughed. Li Jiuheng was always cautious and thoughtful, and he rarely joked with her like this.
She smiled and said, "You know I don't remember anything."
"Those are not important." After Li Jiuheng finished speaking, he urged her: "Drink quickly."
Mu Nuannuan finished the ginger soup, and because it was too late, she hurriedly cooked two bowls of noodles for dinner for the two of them.
While eating, Mu Nuannuan thought of Mu Tingxiao and Mu Mu, and said casually: "That Mr. Mu seems to be difficult to get close to, but he is quite good to his daughter."
Li Jiuheng paused while holding the chopsticks and asked calmly: "What do you think of others?"
"As a father, it can be seen that he loves his daughter very much, but his temper is a bit weird." Mu Nuannuan said while nodding in agreement with her words.
"Really?" Li Jiuheng responded and stopped talking.
Mu Nuannuan raised her eyes and saw Li Jiuheng looking thoughtful.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Nuannuan rarely saw Li Jiuheng look like this and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is your work not going well?"
"No." Li Jiuheng smiled and shook his head: "Let's eat."
Mu Nuannuan continued to eat noodles with her head buried in it, while Li Jiuheng's eyes became more thoughtful.
Judging from today's scene, the two did not recognize each other.
…
The next day.
Mu Tingxiao took the car to work at Mu's as usual.
However, when the car was halfway through, Mu Tingxiao told the driver: "Go to Shengding Media."
Because of what happened yesterday, the driver didn't dare to ask any more questions and just said, "Yes."
Not long after, the car stopped across the road in front of Shengding Media.
Mu Tingxiao glanced at the door of Shengding Media and told the driver: "Go over there. When you see Gu Zhiyan, tell him I'm looking for him."
The driver got out of the car and left.
Not long after, he came over with Gu Zhiyan.
There was a man following behind Gu Zhiyan.
The man had a straight face and seemed to be a cautious and prudent person.
When he saw Mu Tingxiao in person, Gu Zhiyan still couldn't believe it: "Tingxiao, are you looking for me?"
Every time he approached Mu Tingxiao before, he was driven away by Mu Tingxiao. He never expected that one day Mu Tingxiao would take the initiative to look for him.
People are constantly being tempered by reality and constantly lowering their own requirements.
In the past, he thought Mu Tingxiao was heartless for not wanting to have dinner with him, but now it's not easy to meet him...
Mu Tingxiao looked away and responded: "Yeah."
Gu Zhiyan opened the car door and sat in. He turned around, glanced at Shi Ye, paused, and said to Mu Tingxiao: "Let Shi Ye come in too? You may not remember him. He was your former special assistant. He followed. You have many years.”
After Mu Tingxiao's accident, Mu Jinyun fired Shi Ye.
Shiye was fired and went to Shengding Media to work under Gu Zhiyan.
Mu Tingxiao returned his gaze to the man with a rigid expression and nodded invisibly.
Gu Zhiyan, who had been rejected by Mu Tingxiao, felt a little flattered. He said in disbelief: "Have you... recovered your memory?"
Mu Tingxiao said coldly: "No."
"Then what do you want from me?" Gu Zhiyan's tone was cautious. He felt like a concubine summoned by the emperor in a cold palace at this moment.
Mu Tingxiao asked him directly: "We used to have a close friendship?"
"Yes." Gu Zhiyan sighed: "With your bad temper, besides me who can stand you, who else is willing to be friends with you? It's really..."
Halfway through, he felt that the air pressure and temperature in the car seemed to have dropped.
Although Mu Tingxiao has lost his memory, his temper has not changed at all.
He smiled coquettishly: "Let me tell you, besides me, Shiye is the one who has the deepest friendship with you. After all, he has been working under you for many years."
After he finished speaking, he pushed Shiye who was sitting beside him: "Tokye, you think so."
Since he was fired by Mu Jinyun, apart from seeing Mu Tingxiao in the news in the past three years, this is the first time he has seen him in person.
After all, the difference in status was so great that there was no chance of meeting each other, and there was no chance encounter.
Thinking of these things, Shiye nodded with mixed feelings: "Yes."
Mu Tingxiao's eyes glanced back and forth between the two of them, then he took out a business card and handed it to Shiye: "I'm short of a special assistant now. Give me a call when you think about it."
Gu Zhiyan opened his eyes in confusion. Didn't Mu Tingxiao come to see him specifically today
Why did it turn into handing Tokoyami a business card now
Tokoyami was flattered and took the business card.
Mu Tingxiao took back his hand and said calmly: "I'm going to the company now."
This is an eviction order for Gu Zhiyan and Shi Ye to get off the bus.
Gu Zhiyan and Shiye looked at each other in confusion. Although they didn't understand what Mu Tingxiao meant, their deep-rooted habit of obeying Mu Tingxiao made them get out of the car obediently.
Mu Tingxiao looked at the two people's backs through the car window, thoughts flashing in his eyes.
When he woke up three years ago, there was only Mu Jinyun beside him and all his memories were lost. Of course, he chose to believe in Mu Jinyun, who was related to him by blood.
But recent events made him feel that Mu Jinyun was not so trustworthy.
