Chapter 203: Why Are You Alone
The phone rang, Mu Yuchu came back to her senses, she retracted her gaze with a complicated expression, lowered her eyes, and suddenly saw that it was a call from Zhang Shu, she was slightly stunned, and after saying thank you to the waiter, she raised her steps and walked to the side to answer the phone.
At that time, Gu Chengze, who was standing at the door with Shen Zixi, subconsciously turned his eyes to her, his face was complex and deep, he never thought that Mu Yu was already married at a young age.
Wouldn't he have a chance?
On the other side, Shen Zixi didn't know what she was thinking about with her mobile phone, and after about half a minute, when she saw Mu Yuchu answering the phone over there, and there would be no sign of hanging up in a short time, she asked Gu Chengze with a faint expression.
"Mr. Gu, I still have something to do here, wait for my sister-in-law to come over later, you help me tell her that I have left in advance, thank you." ”
She spoke politely.
"Okay. ”
Gu Chengze suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded at Shen Zixi with a gentle expression, and looked like she could leave first if she had something.
Shen Zixi also nodded slightly, which was considered to be a response to him, and then, she glanced at Mu Yuchu worriedly, and finally clenched the mobile phone in her palm and quickly set off towards the cinema where Shen Yan'an was.
Otherwise, as soon as the movie ends, she won't be able to find them.
....
"Hey, Assistant Zhang, is there something wrong with you calling me at this time?"
Mu Yuchu answered the call from Zhang Shu as he walked, wondering why he suddenly called her, it stands to reason that Lu Zhannan is going on a business trip temporarily, he should be very busy.
"Madam, the old mansion has called and asked you to go back for dinner in the evening. ”
Zhang Shu straightforwardly explained the meaning.
"Old mansion?"
Mu Yuchu was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be this.
"But, Zhannan, didn't he go on a business trip?
She followed up and asked, and her eyebrows were slightly twisted together, and she didn't think that Lu Zhannan had just been on a business trip, so why did the old mansion suddenly notify them to come over for dinner.
"Yes, I have already reported this matter to the president, and the president asked me to go back to the old mansion with you tonight, madam, where are you now, I will come and pick you up. ”
Zhang Shu asked respectfully.
Since Lu Zhannan said so, Mu Yuchu had no objection, after all, last time she stayed alone in the old mansion for a long time, and she couldn't talk about embarrassment and discomfort, although Mrs. Lu was stern, she didn't speak mercilessly.
But Mu Yu saw at first glance that the old lady was a good-hearted grandmother, after all, she was a believer in Buddhism, so how bad could her heart be.
As for Lu Zhannan's parents, they are even more amiable and kind, I don't know how many times better than the Mu family, and now that she is married to Lu Zhannan, his parents are also her parents.
"Well, I'm in.... ”
Mu Yuchu subconsciously glanced at the name of the private restaurant, and then said to Zhang Shu.
"I'm in the Banyan Garden, do you know here?"
"Okay, madam, then you wait for me at the door of the store, and I will come and take you home to change your clothes first. ”
"Good. ”
Mu Yuchu hung up the phone in response, then put the mobile phone in his pocket, raised his eyes and walked to the door of the private restaurant, no, as soon as she looked up, she saw that only Gu Chengze was standing at the door of the private restaurant, and there was no Shen Zixi beside him.
She walked up to him strangely and asked subconsciously.
"Mr. Gu, what about Zixi, did she leave first?"
"Well, she asked me to tell you that she had left beforehand. ”
Gu Chengze nodded gently, his narrow gaze stared deeply at her clear face, and he also thought about which friend of Jiang Ci had married the girl he had been thinking about for more than ten years.
"Hmm. ”
Mu Yuchu nodded, indicating that she knew, and suddenly remembered that Shen Zixi appeared here for Shen Yan'an, and just now she and her also heard that Shen Yan'an was going to take his blind date to the movie behind the door.
The result is not difficult to guess, Shen Zixi should have chased after him.
It's just that when I thought that Shen Zixi was still obsessively in love with Shen Yan'an, but Shen Yan'an had already started a blind date and was ready to get engaged, Mu Yuchu inevitably felt worried about her, this feeling must be very uncomfortable and painful.
Mu Yu didn't see her many times for the first time, but she never saw a smile on her face, and she sighed slightly when she was happy to see her.
It's just that after she finished thinking about it, she didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and she licked the corners of her dry lips, not to mention how embarrassed she was.
She paused for a moment before she said with embarrassment.
"That's... When I went to check out, the waiter told me that you had settled the bill, and it was clear that you were my savior, and I should invite you to dinner, how could you... ”
also paid the money, Mu Yuchu had no confidence to say this.
Because if he hadn't settled the account in advance this time, she would have been the one who would have lost face at the cashier, but he settled the account, not to mention how uncomfortable and embarrassed Mu Yuchu was, he couldn't say anything he invited them to dinner.
Gu Chengze smiled slightly, and said with a gentlemanly appearance.
"As a gentleman, how can you make a lady pay for dinner with a lady, it doesn't matter, but if you have to invite me to dinner, it is better for us to leave a WeChat message for each other, and when you have time, you will ask me to make a meal. ”
The price of this private dish is not cheap, how could Gu Chengze let a student invite him to dinner, he didn't plan to ask her to pay.
Of course, he did it for a purpose, and if he didn't, there would be a next date.
"Next time you have a treat, you choose the place. ”
At the end, Gu Chengze added another sentence.
What else can Mu Yuchu say, he can only silently take out the mobile phone in his pocket, open the QR code of adding friends, and look serious and stubborn.
"Mr. Gu, that's okay, next time I have a treat, don't rush to pay with me. ”
"Good. ”
Gu Chengze's face was warm, and at the same time, he took out his mobile phone and scanned her QR code, and when his narrow eyes noticed her new mobile phone and the phone case with diamonds around the edge of her mobile phone, he frowned imperceptibly, and his eyes changed and changed.
It can be seen from this phone case alone that her current husband must be very good to her, otherwise how would he buy her such an expensive phone case, if he is not mistaken, it is inlaid with real diamonds, each of which is worth a lot of money, and it can't be down without millions.
"Your phone case looks so good. ”
Gu Chengze sighed inexplicably.
"Uh-huh... ”
Mu Yuchu was stunned unexpectedly, his eyes inexplicably glanced at Gu Chengze who was speaking, and then lowered his eyes to look at the mobile phone in his palm, the diamond on the edge of the mobile phone emitted a dazzling beam of light under the sunlight, dazzling and extravagant.
Realizing that he was looking at his mobile phone, Mu Yuchu retracted his hand in embarrassment, put his mobile phone into his pocket with an unnatural expression, and twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Thank you. ”
She naturally realized that her phone case was a little too public, and if she still wore it in school in the future, it would indeed seem too ostentatious, but fortunately he suddenly said this, otherwise she wouldn't have realized it.
After all, the school is a mixed and densely populated place, and there are all kinds of people, so she should pay attention.
Gu Chengze hooked the corners of his lips undeniably, and didn't say anything, waiting for him to finish adding friends.
"Miss Mu, I've already added you, remember to add me when you go back. ”
"Oh, good. ”
Mu Yuchu nodded hurriedly, and then took out the mobile phone in his pocket again and added him as a friend, Gu Chengze saw this, and then he was a little relieved, and then the time was almost up, so he asked.
"Miss Mu, where are you going next, do you want to go home? Why don't I send you?"
He proposed, and it happened to see where she lived, as long as he came, as long as he checked the property there, Gu Chengze would be able to know who the man she married was, and who could make a girl who had just grown up marry him so without hesitation before graduating from college.
"Ah, no, no, Mr. Gu, don't bother, someone will pick me up later. ”
Mu Yuchu hurriedly postponed it, and then said.
"I'm going to school this week, I'm afraid I don't have time to make an appointment with you, why don't I wait until Saturday and Sunday, I'm informing you when I'm free, and then I'll invite you to dinner, okay?"
In the end, he owes someone a favor and doesn't invite him to dinner, Mu Yuchu can't get over it, but this time he checked out in advance and helped her a lot, this time she seems to owe him more.
The reason why Gu Chengze did this was completely to intersect with her, so that she would slowly think of herself, where would she think that she really invited him to dinner, everything was just a reason, but looking at her more real appearance, he didn't want to brush off her kindness.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll wait for your information. ”
As soon as Gu Chengze finished speaking, the mobile phone in Mu Yuchu's pocket rang again, no need to guess, it should be Zhang Shu who came to pick her up, she hurriedly said to Gu Chengze.
"Mr. Gu, the person who picked me up is here, then I'll leave first. ”
She waved at him, and didn't wait for him to respond and quickly ran out of the door of the private restaurant, as soon as she went out, she happened to see Zhang Shu's car parked at the gate, she opened the door and sat in.
At that time, Gu Chengze, who followed her out, watched his beloved woman get into someone else's car, and his sharp eyes subconsciously looked at the co-pilot, wanting to look at the person sitting in the car through the co-pilot's window.
It's a pity that the sealing of the window film is too good, and from his angle, he can't see who is sitting in the driver's seat at all.
The black sedan quickly drove out of the private restaurant and merged into the traffic, and it was at this time that Zhang Shu, who was driving, unconsciously glanced at the mirror, and happened to see a back walking in the opposite direction of them.
He didn't pay attention to anything, and respectfully said to Mu Yuchu.
"Ma'am, shall we go home first?"
"Well, it's okay, I'll go back and change my clothes first, and you can wait for me downstairs later." ”
Mu Yuchu nodded by default, at this moment she was still wearing the clothes she used to wear, since she was going back to the old mansion, how could she dress up a little, so as not to make the old lady and the Lu family think that Lu Zhannan treated her harshly and did not buy her clothes.
She couldn't lose Lu Zhannan's face.
"Okay. ”
Zhang Shu replied respectfully, and the car quickly drove into the villa area where they were.
After Mu Yuchu got home, she first went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then took out a generous and simple dress from the closet and put it on her body, and then tied her hair up again, and then she was ready to take her mobile phone and go out.
It's just that as soon as she took the mobile phone on the low cabinet, her eyes touched the dazzling mobile phone case outside, she frowned, decisively took off the phone case, opened the drawer of the low cabinet and carefully put it and the black card together.
When she was done with all this, she raised her steps and walked downstairs, naturally not wanting Zhang Shu to wait too long.
....
"I'm sorry, I really don't know the hotel where my president is staying now, and he didn't take me with him on a business trip this time, so I'm really sorry. ”
Here, Mu Yuchu had just walked to the staircase, and he heard Zhang Shu seemed to be talking to someone on the phone, and the word president seemed to be mentioned on the phone, could it be that Lu Zhannan was not at ease calling?
Realizing this, Mu Yuchu's eyes lit up, raised his steps and hurriedly walked downstairs, but it was also at this time that Zhang Shu's voice came again.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I really don't know where my president is, and I'm really sorry. ”
Zhang Shu opened his mouth with an embarrassed face, and suddenly he didn't know what to do, Xu was too nervous, he subconsciously wanted to pace back and forth, but he didn't want him to turn around, and at a glance he saw Mu Yuchu who hurriedly went downstairs.
He was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the mobile phone in his ear with a panicked look, almost out of instinct, he hurriedly said sorry again, and hung up the phone immediately with a nervous expression, and the pestle looked like a child who had done something wrong.
"Madame, you are down. ”
He greeted her respectfully, and his absent-minded appearance was full of emptiness, as if he had done something unseemly, which made Mu Yuchu Erzhang confused.
"Hmm. ”
She responded in surprise, and her strange expression fell on Zhang Shu, who looked very nervous, thinking about what happened to him suddenly, looking so strange, as if she didn't want her to hear the content of the phone.
From the conversation just now, she also reflected that the person who called was not Lu Zhannan, she lowered her eyes in frustration, at first she thought it was Lu Zhannan's call, but then she thought it was just the time for a meal, maybe he hadn't gotten off the plane yet.
In order to prevent Mu Yuchu from seeing his strange appearance, Zhang Shu hurriedly said.
"Ma'am, it's almost time, it's time for us to go. ”
At this moment, Zhang Shu's heart was about to jump out of his heart, and he also thought that he should have answered the phone outside just now, and now he doesn't know how much his wife has heard.
In fact, Mu Yuchu didn't hear anything at all, she only thought that the call was from Lu Zhannan, and later after knowing that it wasn't, she was very disappointed, and she didn't pay too much attention to what Zhang Shu said, his worries were completely unnecessary.
Of course, she naturally noticed his strange appearance.
"Okay, let's go. ”
...
The two quickly went out and got into the car and went in the direction of the old house, because Lu Zhannan was in a hurry on this business trip, Mu Yuchu was not a little curious, and asked curiously while Zhang Shu was driving.
"Assistant Zhang, Zhannan, why is he so anxious on a business trip this time, is there something special in Linshi, or is there something wrong with the project?"
Mu Yu's first school studied this part, and he still understands it more or less, besides, this time Lu Zhannan went in person, so something important must have happened.
Otherwise, he just needs to send Zhang Shu to go.
For Mu Yuchu, Zhang Shu naturally has nothing to hide, naturally he knows everything and says everything, he quickly explained.
"Well, Lu's branch took on an important project, and the person in charge there couldn't eat it, so the president went to negotiate with the other company in person, because to come up with a design plan, it would take a week for the other company to confirm. ”
He explained briefly, and he was afraid that Mu Yuchu would think and worry about Lu Zhannan, besides, he had just heard the president of his family report to Mu Yuchu that he was going on a business trip, so he had nothing to hide.
"I see. ”
Now Mu Yuchu was also relieved, she thought that something was wrong when he left in such a hurry, since he was going to talk about cooperation, she was completely relieved.
It just so happened that the sedan also drove into the old house soon, and Mu Yuchu didn't continue to ask, and when it was time to get out of the car, Zhang Shu said.
"Madame, I'll be waiting for you outside, and you'll call me when you're about to go back. ”
"Okay, that's troublesome Assistant Zhang. ”
Mu Yuchu opened his mouth with a grateful face, and he really thanked Zhang Shu for specially accompanying her over when he got off work, and then he had to send her back, and when he went home by himself, it was a cold pot and a cold stove, and he couldn't even eat a hot meal, she suddenly felt that Zhang Shu should really have a girlfriend.
I don't know if Xu Siya has such a blessing.
When Zhang Shu heard her say this, he was not flattered and hurriedly said.
"Madam, you're welcome, this is what I should do, don't say thank you to me. ”
Mu Yuchu is polite, gentle and easy to get along with, the more Zhang Shu looks at it, the more he feels that Mu Yuchu is good, not only that, but she can also protect Lu Zhannan, he can see that she really likes Lu Zhannan.
Therefore, Zhang Shu treated her with the same respect as he treated Lu Zhannan.
Mu Yuchu bowed her head slightly, and then raised her steps and walked towards the Lu family's old house, naturally she didn't want the Lu family's parents to wait for her for a long time, and Zhang Shu was waiting for her to come out at the door.
Staring at Mu Yuchu's slender figure and entering the door, Zhang Shu's respectful face suddenly collapsed, replaced by endless worry, he took the mobile phone on the shelf, his eyes touched the call he had just received, his expression became even more solemn, and his gaze towards Mu Yuchu's figure became more and more calm.
...
Here, as soon as Mu Yuchu entered the door, he heard that Lu's mother was instructing the maid to cook and make light dishes, and there was no one in the living room.
Mu Yuchu entered the door with a shy face, and obediently walked to Lu's mother and shouted.
"Good afternoon, Mom, I'm here. ”
"Oh, it's the first time I've come, hurry up, go to the living room with my mother to sit, the smell of oil smoke here is too big. ”
Mother Lu enthusiastically took Mu Yuchu's hand and walked to the living room, liking her appearance as if she had seen her own daughter, Mu Yuchu didn't feel warm in her heart, and she also followed Mother Lu obediently, sensible and well-behaved.
"Hmm. ”
Here, the two had just sat down, and Lu's mother instructed the maid to call Mrs. Lu from the backyard over for dinner together, and Mu Yuchu and Lu's mother got up from the sofa together when they saw this.
"Mom, you're here, come and sit down. ”
Mu Yuchu naturally shouted obediently.
"Good afternoon, Grandma. ”
Old Lady Lu glanced at Mother Lu and Mu Yuchu with a cold expression, and when her eyes touched the living room where there were only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she asked Mu Yuchu with a more and more cold expression.
"Why are you here alone?"
