On the way back to Fengju in the car, she didn't speak for a long time, and Mu Yuchen didn't bother her. Seeing that she was falling asleep leaning against the car window, he took a thin blanket and covered her up.
The night was getting late, and the traffic on the road leading to the suburbs gradually decreased. The tree shadows cast by the dim street lights fell mottled on the car window and moved back, flashing across her white face. desolate.
She could see her unbearable fragility when she closed her eyes. She silently felt the soreness still lingering in her throat. She opened her eyes slightly, looking at the receding streetlights outside the car window through the blurred vision through the cold rain. In an instant, it became a little peaceful and distant.
She suddenly coughed intermittently, and stretched out her hand to pull the thin blanket on her body. Her dry and hoarse voice sounded a bit cold, and Mu Yuchen who was at the side quickly took a tissue and handed it to her.
"When I was five years old, my father had just been transferred to the Municipal Bureau. Because of the job adjustment, he could take half a month off... He took my mother and I to the seaside for a long-term stay..." Xi Xiaye took the tissue he handed over, and suddenly gently uttered aloud, there was a sense of loss in his indifferent eyes.
He listened and lowered his eyes to look at her, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear her next words.
After a long time, she raised her hand to caress her forehead. As if she suddenly thought of something pleasant, Xu Ran pulled a light smile on her beautiful face, "My mother was very considerate of my father at that time, and she said that she also wanted to experience raising a family. So all the expenses during that time were borne by the money my mother earned from painting, while my father cooked meals at home and waited for my mother to come back, and I helped my mother sell paintings... I came to play near the beach Many of them are enthusiastic young people, and they all like mother's paintings... "
As she spoke, her face suddenly changed slightly, and after a long time, she sighed and said, "At that time... the family lived happily, but now—everything is just a memory."
Mu Yuchen's eyes darkened for a long time, but he didn't answer...
The car slowly drove into Fengju, and stopped steadily in front of the door. Xi Xiaye pushed the door open, got out of the car, walked directly into the house, and went upstairs.
When Mu Yuchen walked into the house, he happened to see her disappearing at the top of the stairs. He took a slight breath, took off his coat, and went into the kitchen.
When Xi Xiaye came out after taking a refreshing shower, the phone kept vibrating. She picked it up and saw that there were many missed calls. They were from Shen Wenna and Su Nan. She simply replied a text message and then turned off the phone. .
She walked out of the bedroom just in time to see the man entering the door with a bowl of something.
"Eat something, let's worry about tomorrow's affairs."
He gently placed the bowl on the low table in front of the sofa, Xi Xiaye looked into the bowl subconsciously, it was a bowl of egg noodles...
He turned his head and handed the chopsticks to her. She wanted to say that she was not hungry, but seeing him like that, she couldn't bear to reject his concern, so she took the chopsticks and sat down.
"Go and wash, too. I'll put the water in for you."
She picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of tomato, and was about to stuff it into her mouth, however, seeing that he was still looking at her, she paused, and put the tomato towards his mouth.
He was slightly taken aback, but he didn't refuse. He lowered his head and ate, while reaching out to touch her head, a faint smile flashed across his handsome face, and without saying anything, he got up and walked towards the bedroom...
…
In the early morning of the next day, when Xi Xiaye woke up, washed up, went downstairs and was about to have breakfast and go to work, there was a rush of cell phone ringing, and she took it out to see that it belonged to Su Nan, so Xi Xiaye answered it.
As soon as the phone was connected, Su Nan's eager voice came over immediately—
"Xia Ye, Xia Ye, watch TV and Weibo, hurry up! Big news!"
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously walked towards the living room, only to find that the man was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, she picked up the remote control on the low table and turned on the TV...
What came into view was actually a large group of reporters from Yueying Culture Media downstairs. Many reporters were holding the same paper and photos as last night. Deng Wenwen and Yue Lingsi were tightly held by the reporters. Surrounded by everyone asking about Xi Xinyi...
There was a lot of scolding on Weibo, some were fans of other actresses suspected of being raped by Xi Xinyi, and of course there were fans who defended Xi Xinyi...
She reached out to grab the newspaper in Mu Yuchen's hand, lowered her eyes, and saw that a large page was full of reports about Xi Xinyi's affairs. After the media edited it, the effect became more prominent.
Is he... planning to block Xi Xinyi
These news, just based on the intimate photos of Xi Xinyi accompanying a certain person in and out of a certain resort hotel, can cause an uproar in minutes, not to mention the news that a certain actress almost broke a bone due to a suspected wire break.
"Mr. Liu just called. Huangtian Jewelry City's endorsement advertisement is about to start. The public relations department has decided to change people and withdraw Xi Xinyi's contract as the spokesperson of Jewelry City. Manager Fang is out of the company, so you need to sign and go to Yueyue." Shadow, what do you think?"
Mu Yuchen took a sip of tea and looked at her calmly.
It was only then that Xi Xiaye remembered what had happened at the opening ceremony. The PR department knew about Mu Yuchen's dissatisfaction, so they had planned to remove Xi Xinyi a long time ago. Now that something like this happened, it would be easier to take action.
After a moment of silence, Xi Xiaye nodded, fluttering her slender eyelashes a few times, "I'll take Manager Fang's place this afternoon."
"You don't need to worry about those unpleasant things. No matter what, you are Mrs. Mu who Mr. Mu is very optimistic about." While talking, he raised his hand to take the newspaper in her hand, and glanced at it indifferently, "Don't be cruel , stand firm, this sentence applies to any position."
She listened, slightly shocked, and then nodded.
…
Amo just went to Mu Yuchen's office after punching out his card.
When he pushed open the door of the office, he saw Mu Yuchen leisurely watering the potted plants on the side flower shelf. When he heard the door open, he didn't stop what he was doing.
"Master!"
Amo came behind Mu Yuchen and called out respectfully.
Mu Yuchen straightened up, put down the water bottle in his hand, took a wet towel beside him, wiped his hands, and said, "There's something you need to do yourself."
With that said, Mu Yuchen slightly raised his eyes to look at Amo.
"Master, please speak!"
Amo replied in a low voice.
Mu Yuchen nodded, walked slowly to the table, took out a document from the bookshelf behind the desk, opened it, took a look at the document inside, and handed it to Amo.
