Chapter 14: The Dinner
"Ah, that's it, isn't heart disease a major operation? I heard that it costs a lot of money, you little girl, you used to borrow money from me like a stray dog, why did you get the money together so quickly now, you can pay me back, you don't plan not to save people, are you?"
Tong Momo pretended to be surprised.
In fact, when Mu Haoming called her, she learned something from Mu Haoming.
Not only that, but she was also ordered by Mu Haoming to find out from Mu Chengyu who the mysterious person who helped her behind her.
In fact, Tong Momo already had some guesses in his heart, after all, Mu Chengyu, a person who was not even willing to help her relatives, where did she get so rich and such enthusiastic people who were willing to contribute money to help her. However, she has no actual evidence, after all, even if that person is rich, he is not a fool and will not contribute money for nothing.
But at present, only that person is the most likely, otherwise even if Mu Chengyu really borrowed a lot of money, it would be impossible to contact those famous hospitals abroad.
However, she didn't mention that person to Mu Haoming, first, whether this person is not necessarily the case, but if Mu Haoming knew, I am afraid that he would not be willing to accept treatment obediently.
"Don't you know if I'm mad? It's just that I'm a little luckier, and I met someone who was willing to help. ”
"Yo, whose money was picked up from the ground and given to you casually?"
Tong Momo continued to pretend that he didn't know anything.
Mu Chengyu was still hesitating what to say.
"This ...... I'll tell you later, Haoming can receive treatment now, that's the best thing, don't worry about the rest. ”
The tone of his speech was noticeably lower and much more nervous.
Tong Momo is not a fool, Mu Chengyu must have made some terrible deal, otherwise, with the friendship between the two of them, she didn't need to hide it from her so much, no wonder she didn't contact her after borrowing money from her that day, she thought she was too anxious and busy, so she didn't have time, and now it seems that she did something terrible during the time when they didn't have contact.
"What's the matter, why do you want to hide it from me? Did you do something unsightly behind my back?"
Tong Momo obviously didn't intend to give up just like that.
Mu Chengyu clenched her fists, she didn't want to say it, that kind of thing, she wasn't mentally ready to say it, it was too difficult to say.
"Momo, you don't care about this matter, anyway, Haoming can receive the best treatment now, and that's enough. ”
Tong Momo didn't want to say it when she saw that Mu Chengyu was really killed, if she continued to ask, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so she had to make concessions.
"Okay, then can you tell me if this incident has something to do with that man that day?"
Tong Momo didn't point out who the man was, but both of them knew it.
Mu Chengyu didn't expect that Tong Momo had already guessed this, so he took a step back in surprise and tripped on the bed.
She stood up silently and muttered for a long time before closing her eyes.
"Yes. ”
Like a large rock hanging in the air finally falling back to the ground, she opened her eyes as if relieved.
"It's related to him, Momo, can you not tell Haoming about this matter, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it, and he won't be willing to accept treatment when the time comes." ”
Although Mu Chengyu didn't say what deal was reached between her and Luo Yichen, Tong Momo could roughly guess what it was.
I didn't expect this to be the case.
Tong Momo's nose was sour, and he really didn't know whether to be happy or sad for his friend.
If you provoke that kind of person, you want to get out of the way, I'm afraid it's difficult.
"Don't worry, I won't say it, you have to protect yourself, don't let your brother's health get better, and you fall down again. ”
Mu Chengyu thanked Tong Momo for not piercing the last layer of paper and leaving her dignity.
"Hmm. Rest assured. ”
After hanging up the phone, Mu Chengyu sat back on the bed with a blank look in his eyes.
It's been a few days since she bothered with the novel that had just been written, and she doesn't want to bother, and now her mind is in a mess, and she doesn't know what else she can do in this situation.
Although Luo Yichen is not a workaholic, once he gets to work, he basically has no free time, and he usually eats lunch at a high-end restaurant near the company and does not come back until the evening.
This gave Mu Chengyu time to breathe, so that she would at least not feel so restrained in this huge house, except for the empty strangeness, there was no feeling of suffocation.
When she heard that Luo Yichen asked her to be on call twenty-four hours a day, she really thought that she would always be by Luo Yichen's side.
Now it seems that Luo Yichen may not be a bad person.
But her idea didn't last long, and it was snuffed out by Luo Yichen, who came back at night.
At the dinner table, the man who had been silent suddenly raised his head and spoke.
"There's a dinner the day after tomorrow. ”
So?
Mu Chengyu looked up at the man sitting opposite, if he ignored the cold eyes, his appearance would definitely make most of the women who saw him scream, the gentleman was handsome, gold and noble, no matter which point, it could make many women flock to him.
Especially now, under the light of the warm yellow light, his originally resolute and deep face is a little more gentle. Mu Chengyu couldn't help but be stunned the moment he looked up and looked at him.
The man sensed the woman's expression and smiled contentedly, but soon hid it again.
"Come with me. ”
Mu Chengyu's thoughts were pulled back by these three words.
Then he was ashamed that he had just been deceived by this man's appearance.
I didn't notice that the tips of my ears were red.
"No...... Can I not go? I've never been to ......."
Spare her, she's just an ordinary person with a dream of becoming a well-known novelist, and the biggest banquet I've ever attended is probably the graduation dinner held at the time of graduation.
However, the dinner party that Luo Yichen said was definitely not a graduation dinner.
Celebrities and elites, she didn't even think about this. Moreover, she never wished that she would be able to participate in these, she just wanted to be ordinary.
"Tsk. ”
Luo Yichen evoked a sneer.
"Since I haven't participated in it, it's just right that I have the opportunity to participate the day after tomorrow. ”
Mu Chengyu still wanted to refuse. But Luo Yichen didn't give her a chance at all.
"Don't forget the contract between us, and don't forget who you are now, do you think you have the right to refuse?"
The ruthless words came out of Luo Yichen's mouth, and Mu Chengyu's face turned white in an instant.
Thinking about it, she thought this man was easy to talk in the morning, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face at night.
From last night to today, Luo Yichen didn't do anything excessive to her except for saying something inconsequential to him, so much so that she forgot a little self-righteously that he was still the cruel person who objected to her leaving with Haoming in order to be able to see her at any time.
Now that Luo Yichen bluntly proposed the contract, she reacted.
Yes, she is just a mistress (woman) who may be abandoned and disgusted at any time, where does she get so many rights.
"Good. I got it, I'll be ready. ”
Seeing that Mu Chengyu was so well-behaved and sensible, Luo Yichen nodded with satisfaction.
"I've got your dress ready, remember to get up early the day after tomorrow and someone will help you clean up. ”
"Thank you. ”
Hearing thank you, Luo Yichen raised his eyelids and glanced at Mu Chengyu.
I thought this woman would refute something, but I didn't expect to be so sensible.
It's good to be sensible, so as not to annoy him by saying too much.
Perhaps, it was because she didn't dwell too much on what he did to her after she found out that he had done something to her, but left happily, that he would have a good impression of her.
After taking a shower and preparing to go to bed, Mu Chengyu received a cross-border call from Mu Haoming.
"Sister. ”
A faint syllable made Mu Chengyu instantly excited, just at this time Luo Yichen opened the door and came in, Mu Chengyu hurriedly turned around, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silent action to Luo Yichen, Luo Yichen frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied, but roughly guessed that Mu Chengyu was talking on the phone, didn't care, opened the door and walked into the bathroom.
Mu Chengyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Haoming's voice came from the phone again.
"Sister, is there anyone else over there?"
Mu Haoming was so alert, he had already sensed that something was wrong.
"No, it's the sound of me opening the door, it's ten o'clock now, and you know I'm old, I can't hold on, it's time to sleep. ”
Mu Chengyu finished lying with a red face and a heartbeat, and Mu Haoming reluctantly believed it.
"Hmm. ”
"Are you already over there?"
"Well, it's in the hospital right now. ”
"What about the doctor?
Mu Chengyu couldn't wait to put in his wings now, and immediately flew to Mu Haoming's side to figure out the situation.
"Seeing it, he told me not to worry, sister, it's okay, it can be cured, don't worry too much. ”
Mu Haoming's tone was gentle and steady, not much different from usual, which made Mu Chengyu feel a little more relieved, and forgot to glance at the bathroom door behind him, if something bad really happened, Luo Yichen should also tell her.
"That's good, that's good. ”
The two were silent for a long time, and in the end, it was Mu Haoming's voice full of longing that broke the silence.
"Sister, I miss you so much, there is no one I know here. ”
A plain sentence almost made Mu Chengyu's tears fall.
She didn't want him.
"Sister, I want to eat braised pork, I can't get used to the food here. ”
The coquettish words came to his ears, but Mu Chengyu could only chew these words repeatedly in his mind, chewing them repeatedly.
Two countries with very different cultures naturally have different dining habits, and it is normal for Mu Haoming not to get used to it now.
"I miss you too, when you come back, I'll make you as much braised pork as you want, okay?"
……
After that, the two chatted for a while, and the phone didn't hang up until the doctor on Mu Haoming's side went over to examine him.
After Luo Yichen took a shower and came out of the bathroom, what he saw was Mu Chengyu sitting on the small sofa with his mobile phone in his hand, looking depressed, his hair was still wet, and he only had a thin pajamas hanging on his body.
He frowned, turned up the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees, and then walked over.
"Blow your hair. ”
Mu Chengyu looked up at Luo Yichen in panic like a rabbit that was suddenly frightened.
"Good. ”
Then he quickly staggered his gaze, got up from the sofa, and hurried into the bedroom.
Luo Yichen stood in place and rubbed his hair irritably.
It's just going abroad for treatment, how long will this woman have to worry about?
The way she looked made him not feel at all in the mood to do that to her.
