Hearing the noise, Mu Yu's heart skipped a beat. She pushed Jiang Wenwen away and rushed to open the door: "Dad, what..."
"Master Qin is here!"
"Ah?!" Mu Yu almost bit his tongue, "He, why is he here?"
Before she finished speaking, Qin Jinhuan walked up behind her father with a smile on her face: "I also want to try mom's cooking skills."
Mu Yu was extremely stunned by being called "Mom" so smoothly.
Her parents didn't know about her relationship with him, so was it necessary to act in front of them
"Tasting auntie's cooking skills is fake, but thinking about Xiaoyu is real, right?" Jiang Wenwen teased her with a smile, "It's true that not seeing her for one day is like three autumns."
"You're nonsense..." Realizing that she shouldn't say random things to friends who didn't know what she was talking about, Mu Yu immediately changed to a sneer, while glancing at Qin Jinhuan from the corner of her eyes. By chance, she met his affectionate eyes, and her heart suddenly melted. He missed a beat and looked away hastily.
"Master Qin, you're here." Hu Meiling rushed out of the kitchen to say hello.
"Be careful of the spatula staining Young Master Qin's clothes!" Mu Ziyao quickly stopped his wife to remind her.
Only then did Hu Meiling realize that she was holding a spatula in her hand. She hurriedly took two steps back and apologized with a smile on her face.
"It's okay." Qin Jinhuan asked with a smile, "What are you cooking? It's so fragrant."
"Stir-fried minced pork... oh, it's my dish!" Hu Meiling shouted and rushed into the kitchen.
"Young Master Qin, please sit down first. Xiaoyu, you sit with Young Master Qin while I go help you. Mom." Mu Ziyao then ran into the kitchen. There were only three people left in the living room for a while. Jiang Wenwen, who thought Mu Yu's parents wanted to make space for Mu Yu and the two of them, felt very uncomfortable. She patted her head and pretended to shout: "Oh, Xiao Yu, I suddenly remembered that there is something else at school. Son, I won’t be having lunch with you today.”
"Leaving after dinner won't delay anything. You and Xiaoyu can chat for a while, I still have some work to do." Qin Jinhuan pointed to the laptop in his hand, then walked into the study on the side and passed by Jiang Wenwen. At this time, he secretly winked at her.
Jiang Wenwen understood what that look meant, but because of Mu Yu's presence, she couldn't tell him that the task was completed, but she felt relaxed, and then she hugged Mu Yu and entered the bedroom again.
After closing the bedroom door, she began to sigh: "I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so kind to you. Hey, the look in your eyes just now almost melted me!"
Mu Yu's heart softened, but he pretended to be disapproving and poked his friend's forehead: "Do you think you are a popsicle? It melts so easily."
"Hey, don't pretend to be false to me. Don't think I didn't see you blushing just now. Your heartbeat must have accelerated. Let me touch it?"
"Hey! What are you doing!" Mu Yu grabbed her friend's hands and pushed her onto the bed while changing the topic, "What did you say about Brother Xiao Bing just now?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Wenwen lay down on the bed and responded very comfortably, "I just wanted me to say thank you to you and also said that I would treat you to dinner another day."
"How much did his boss end up costing him?"
"No compensation was paid. He said that his boss later checked the warehouse surveillance and discovered that it was not him who lost the goods at all, but that he missed the goods when he was picking them up."
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding."
"If you hadn't intervened, it wouldn't have been a misunderstanding."
"How do you say this?"
Jiang Wenwen was a little angry: "Let me tell you, Brother Xiaobing's boss is famous for being dark and cunning. If Brother Xiaobing hadn't met you, his boss would definitely not check the surveillance. Even if he checked the surveillance, he would be found in the warehouse. His boss will definitely have to hide that item, and Brother Xiaobing will have to pay for it. "
Mu Yu suddenly laughed: "It seems that Brother Xiaobing is quite lucky."
"Let's take it as a matter of fact. In fact, Brother Xiaobing is very pitiful." When Jiang Wenwen said this, she sighed heavily.
“When you work for others, it’s inevitable that you will get angry.”
"That's not what I mean," Jiang Wenwen's expression became more solemn, "Brother Xiao Bing originally had a very happy family. His wife was gentle and virtuous. He worked in a bank and received a good salary. His parents were also in good health. They bought a house in the city. The old man wanted to save more money for them, so he stayed in his hometown to farm. Five years ago in the spring, his wife was pregnant. The family was very happy, but because they could not let go of the fields in the countryside, his parents discussed with them. Finally, I decided to come back to the city to take care of her after the autumn harvest.”
"Then what? What happened?" Mu Yu asked urgently.
"I still remember the day when Brother Xiaobing went to the countryside to pick up his parents. It was Saturday, September 17th." Jiang Wenwen's eyes filled with mist. "That morning, I was still sleeping in at home, and my mother suddenly rushed in. He pulled me out of the house like crazy - it turned out that there was a fire in Brother Xiao Bing's house next door. All the neighbors came out, but Brother Xiao Bing's eight-month pregnant wife didn't run out and was burned to death. "
"Huh?! Oh my God!"
"When Brother Xiaobing and his family came back, the fire was put out, but his wife had turned into a charred corpse. Brother Xiaobing's father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot and died on the way to the hospital. His mother Because of excessive self-blame and sadness, her hair turned gray overnight and she became seriously ill. After being discharged from the hospital, she refused to stay in the city and returned to her hometown in the countryside to live alone. "
"Brother Xiaobing, why don't you go back to the countryside with your mother?"
"Do you think he doesn't want to? But he can't," Jiang Wenwen sighed again, "Burying his wife and father, treating his mother, made him owe a lot of debt, and the house is still mortgaged - because he has died, and He couldn't sell it for a price. The neighbors felt sorry for him and donated money to help him simply repair the burned home, but they didn't hold his house responsible - the fire was caused by his wife's improper operation of the electrical appliances. Yu, who used to work in a bank, was expelled from the bank because of several mistakes at work, and ended up working around to pay off debts. Due to excessive stimulation, a person who was originally quite outgoing and capable became dull and dull, and he did not like to interact with others. He is not favored by others no matter what he does, and his life is very difficult. You see, he looks like a man in his forties, but he is actually not even thirty. "
Mu Yu was extremely sympathetic for a moment: "I didn't expect him to have such a miserable side."
"Yes, no one can predict the misfortunes and blessings that come and go, so we must cherish the present."
Hearing this, Qin Jinhuan's figure appeared in front of Mu Yu for some reason.
What does he have to do with me? She quickly put aside her random thoughts and continued to listen to her friend.
"But fortunately, the neighbors are very good to him and have helped him a lot. In the past year or two, his mental state has been much better and he can communicate with others normally."
Mu Yu then understood why his friend was so excited when he saw Yan Xiaobing being bullied, and then sighed: "There are still many good people in this world. Without your help, I'm afraid he will be depressed for the rest of his life."
Jiang Wenwen smiled sheepishly: "I haven't helped Brother Xiao Bing much. It's all the kind-hearted neighbors who help him."
"Karma, the cycle of good and evil. If the neighbors are willing to help him so enthusiastically, I must have been enthusiastic about helping others before."
"When you said that, I suddenly remembered something. Didn't our school hold a charity donation event in Chengxi Park a while ago? I saw Brother Xiaobing also donated money. Although I didn't see clearly how much he donated. , but considering his current financial situation, even donating one yuan is still a gesture of gratitude."
"The fact that he lives in the south of the city and goes to the west of the city to donate money is worthy of our admiration."
"Yeah. I hope he can..."
"Xiaoyu, it's time to eat."
Upon hearing Qin Jinhuan's voice, the two immediately fell silent, smiled at each other, and walked out the door holding hands.
After eating, Jiang Wenwen left first because she had something to do at school. Qin Jinhuan originally wanted to take Mu Yu away, but when he saw Mu Ziyao and his wife holding Mu Yu's hands with reluctant expressions, he hesitated several times. After thinking about it, he didn't force it and just said that he would let Huang Bo come later. Pick her up.
Now that Qin Jinhuan was leaving in Huang Bo's car, Mu Ziyao and Hu Meiling took a deep breath, pulled Mu Yu into the living room who was about to put away the dishes, and sat down next to her on the left and right.
Seeing his parents looking at him up and down with smiles on their faces, Mu Yu couldn't help but feel suspicious: "Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Ziyao glanced at his wife meaningfully and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu mom, please tell me."
"Okay." Hu Meiling cleared her throat solemnly and looked at her daughter, "Xiaoyu, after this period of contact with Mr. Qin..."
"Especially today." Mu Ziyao added.
"Yes, especially today," Hu Meiling continued, "Your father and I both think Mr. Qin is a very good person. Not only does he have a good family background, strong ability, education and talent, but he also has a deep love for you..."
"What is it about being deeply in love? Don't you know this is acting?" Mu Yu hurriedly interrupted her mother, "Can acting be taken seriously?"
"Why can't you take it seriously? This is called pretending to be real! Do you dare to say that you are not attracted to Mr. Qin?"
"I… "
"Silly girl, don't run away. You have to face the relationship between you and Mr. Qin soberly." Mu Ziyao interrupted with a smile.
"No, no, there is nothing between us at all..."
"You call yourself a fan of the authorities!" Hu Meiling looked through Mu Yu and smiled happily at her husband, "Today I look at Mr. Qin as my mother-in-law looks at my son-in-law. The more I look at him, the more satisfied I am. Thank you, my parents, for blessing me. , let Xiaoyu meet such a good man like Mr. Qin. "
"Yeah, let's go back and pick an auspicious day to hang paper money for them."
"Yes, hang more. Hey, I will take the almanac now to see which day is auspicious."
"Hey! Mom!" Mu Yu immediately grabbed his mother who was about to get up, and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, "Don't forget why Qin Jinhuan and I became a contract couple. Can't you just deceive yourself and others by wishful thinking here? It's very embarrassing. "
"That's what we call destiny. Silly daughter, you have to 100% believe in my and your mother's keen insight." Mu Ziyao's face was full of confidence.
"That's right, you have to seize this opportunity for me, and don't push Young Master Qin's heart out for some reason," Hu Meiling warned sternly, "I don't know how many women in Ancheng covet the position of the young mistress of the Qin family day and night. ”
"that is."
"Dad! Mom! You are really..."
Without waiting for Mu Yu to refute, the two of them started a new round of compliments to Qin Jinhuan, which made her unable to even say anything and could only smile bitterly. Until Huang Bo came to pick her up and take her back to Qin's house after dinner, her parents' voices praising Qin Jinhuan were still ringing in her ears, which made her have to suspect that her parents had given her the drug.
When she got home, Qin Jinhuan, who had worked overtime, hadn't come back yet, so she went back to the bedroom first. She saw two suitcases in the corner. Knowing that the maid had packed the clothes for tomorrow's trip, she felt relieved. After turning on the TV , and went into the bathroom to wash up.
"...The manhole cover was pried open, and innocent passers-by were injured..."
The news was playing on the computer, but Mu Yu didn't want to listen. She changed into pajamas and lay on the bed. She couldn't help but think about her parents' words in her mind, which made her feel irritable.
To divert her attention, she turned off the TV and took out a small notebook to check her notes. Thinking of the tragic experience of Yan Xiaobing told by Jiang Wenwen, she felt a little sad.
Yan Xiaobing... September 17th... West of the city... Sun Meilan...
The sudden flash of inspiration in her mind shocked her whole body and she jumped up from the bed.
