Chapter 24: Unpleasant
When Fang Zhou saw this scene, his eyes were about to pop out, and he subconsciously looked at Mu Jincheng, wanting to see his reaction.
saw that he just looked at it expressionlessly, without showing an angry expression, and he didn't even frown, but Fang Zhou still felt that the air pressure around him seemed to be low.
Seeing his wife hugging other men with his own eyes, he was so calm, but Fang Zhou felt bad, because the Mu Jincheng he was familiar with was not this style.
"Mr. Mu......" he called tentatively, but seeing that he didn't react, he said, "Or...... Shall we go?"
This time, Mu Jincheng finally responded to him, he put one hand in his trouser pocket, made a posture of preparing to watch the play, and said very calmly: "Go, why go, watch it." ”
Seeing this, Fang Zhou became more and more unable to figure out what he was thinking in his heart at this time, could it be that the relationship between Mr. Mu and his wife was really so bad?
Downstairs café.
As soon as Su Ji entered the door, she was pounced on by Zhou Yuyang, who rushed over, and the energy made her involuntarily take two steps back.
Su Ji looked at the excited big boy in front of him, stretched out his hand and wrapped around him, patted him lightly on the back a few times, and couldn't help but be a little doting in his tone: "I'm already an adult this year, how can I still be like a child." ”
Zhou Yuyang rubbed her shoulder and said coquettishly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm so happy!"
Su Ji smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, let go of me, so many people are watching!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuyang let go of her and looked at her with a smile, with a little childishness on her sunny and handsome face.
He held Su Ji's two hands, and said with a little grievance in his tone: "Sister, I almost miss you, and you won't come to the UK to see me." ”
Su Ji looked at the boy in front of him, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he changed the topic and said, "You plan to let me stand like this and talk to you all the time?"
"Look at my joy, forget it, let's sit down and talk. After Su Ji's reminder, Zhou Yuyang suddenly reacted and led Su Ji to his previous seat.
The waiter came up and ordered.
Su Ji looked at the big boy he hadn't seen for a long time, and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?
"Yes, so I sneaked back this time!" Zhou Yuyang said a little proudly, but he thought of something, and hurriedly said nervously, "Except for you, no one knows that I'm back, sister, don't expose me, please~"
Su Ji couldn't resist his coquettishness to himself, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, don't worry! I won't tell others." ”
Seeing her agree, Zhou Yuyang immediately smiled again: "I knew that you love me the most in the world!"
Su Ji also raised his lips and smiled, looking at the big boy in front of him who had always loved to stick to her since he was a child, and looked carefully, he couldn't help but look a little like her, and a little like his mother, Zhou Li.
This is her half-brother, whom she first met five years ago.
At that time, Zhou Li forced her mother to commit suicide by jumping off the building, and she was lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
At that time, how much she hated Zhou Li, how much she hated the illegitimate child she brought, but Zhou Yuyang was like a piece of kraft candy, she always liked to come to her, no matter how vicious she spoke to her, and even smashed things at him and pushed him, he was scared away at that time, and when he waited until next time, he was still so faceless and skinless to be close to her.
Sometimes he showed her his paintings, sometimes he gave her candy from his classmates when he was in school, and sometimes he would take out the flowers he secretly picked from others.
At first, Su Ji would tear up his paintings, throw away the sugar, and trample on the flowers, but later found that it was useless, so Su Ji planned to ignore him all the time and let him talk to himself there alone.
Until one day, he ran to her with a bandage on his forehead and a blue nose and swollen face, and was very happy to tell her that he had won a fight at school today.
At that time, Su She was really frightened when she saw him like that, but she couldn't have the slightest pity.
But his next words made her stunned.
He said: "Sister, if they dare to say bad things about you, I will beat them to cry and cry my mother, and I will grow bigger and bigger, I will not lose in the fight, and I will go to learn martial arts later, so that I can better protect you, I will not let others bully you, I will always protect you!"
Later, he really went to learn taekwondo, and then learned judo, as he said, in order to better protect her.
After that, their relationship gradually eased, and later, it became so close now, and Zhou Yuyang became more and more attached to her as her relationship increased with age.
Now, even if she still hates Zhou Li in her heart, she is very fond of Zhou Yuyang, in fact, how innocent he is, his parents are morally corrupt, how could he want to be an unsightly illegitimate child, he has no choice.
After all, it is a relative whose blood is thicker than water with her.
The waiter interrupted her thoughts as he brought her coffee.
"What are you doing when you sneak back to China?" asked Su Ji.
Zhou Yuyang put down the coffee and said, "I'll come back to see you, speaking of which, sister, you're really too much!"
Seeing that his face suddenly changed, Su Ji couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with me?"
"You didn't even tell me about such a big thing as you got married! If I hadn't learned about it from a former classmate, I wouldn't know about it now! Do you still think of me as your brother?" he said angrily.
In fact, Su Ji was also very surprised, he didn't know, it seems that Zhou Li didn't tell him about her getting married.
She smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that you will run back like this now, ignoring your studies, so I plan to wait until you have a holiday to tell you." ”
"Hmph! excuse!" Zhou Yu turned his face away in anger.
Su Ji shook his head helplessly, and changed the topic: "Okay, how many days are you going to stay this time?
"It's okay, I've finished the exam this month, but I can't stay long, I have to go back tomorrow morning, and I said it was sneaking!" he said.
"And where do you live now?" asked Su Ji again.
"Aren't I waiting for you to arrange it for me, sister?" Zhou Yuyang said, his eyes skimmed under the table, and Su Ji found that there was a suitcase under the table.
"You see I'm in a hurry to see you, and I haven't booked a hotel. He smiled.
Su Ji was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.
Zhou Yuyang said: "Sister, how are you doing after marriage, how is my brother-in-law treating you?"
Hearing this, Su Ji was stunned for a moment, remembered what Mu Jincheng had done to her, and then smiled: "He...... It's good for me. ”
Zhou Yuyang didn't doubt it, after all, in his heart, Su Ji was the best person in the world, and no one would dislike her.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you call your brother-in-law in the evening, and let's have a meal together!" Let me and my brother-in-law get to know each other, we don't know each other yet!"
Su Ji was stunned again, and asked Mu Jincheng to come out for dinner? I'm afraid that Mu Jincheng will not agree, but she still has self-knowledge.
"I'm afraid there's no way. Su Ji said.
"Why?" Zhou Yuyang said in surprise, and then quickly changed his face, "Are you lying to me, my brother-in-law is actually not good to you?"
Seeing that he was suspicious, Su Ji hurriedly lied and said: "No, he is really good to me, it's just that he happened to go on a business trip in the past two days, so there is no way, wait for next time, there will be opportunities in the future." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yuyang was still a little skeptical: "Really?"
"Really. She nodded solemnly, and Zhou Yuyang believed her.
Seeing that he drank about the same coffee, Su Ji said, "Let's go and book a hotel for you first, and after putting the things in the hotel, I'll take you to dinner." ”
"Good. ”
After settling the bill, the two of them walked out of the café, Su Ji suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yuyang turned his head to look at her, pulling the suitcase with one hand and holding her hand with the other.
Su Ji lowered his eyes and looked at his lower abdomen, put his hand on it, and said, "I'm pregnant." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yuyang was stunned for a while before jumping up violently: "What... What!pregnant?pregnant!"
"Well, you're going to be an uncle!" Su Ji smiled and nodded.
"I'm going to be an uncle!" Zhou Yuyang repeated excitedly, then walked up to Su Ji and bent down, staring at her stomach, a little incredulous, "This... Is there really a person in there? Can I touch it? It's amazing......"
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Su Ji to speak, he directly touched it, he first poked it with his fingers, and then carefully touched it, like a child who had discovered a new world.
Su Ji couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Okay, how unsightly the audience is, I don't know and think that you are the child's father!"
When she said this, Zhou Yuyang withdrew his hand, and was busy trying to help her, but was stopped by Su Ji.
"I'm only a little over two months now, I don't need support, I'm not that expensive. ”
"In my heart, sister, you are the most precious person in the world!" Zhou Yuyang said, holding her arm.
The two left happily, but the people upstairs who had been watching them from the beginning were not happy.
Fang Zhou peeked at Mu Jincheng next to him.
Standing here and looking at it for so much, they don't know what the identity of the other party is, but what they can know is that the relationship between the two must be very close, so intimate that Su Ji is willing to let that person hug her and touch her stomach, it seems that their relationship is not simple!
Seeing that Mu Jincheng still didn't react, he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Mu, do you want me to find out who this person is who I met with my wife?"
Fang Zhou originally planned that as long as Mu Jincheng didn't say anything, he would take his acquiescence, and then find out the eighteen generations of that person's ancestors, but he heard Mu Jincheng say in an extremely flat tone: "No." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Fang Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed, thinking about whether to tell Xin Yuzhi or not.
But the person in front of him seemed to be able to hear his heart, and said again: "Don't think about going to my mother to make a small report, if her old man knows, it will be a lot of trouble." ”
Fang Zhou was startled, and then had to respond: "Yes." ”
Fang Zhou felt that in the more than 20 years since he and Mu Jincheng had known each other, it was the first time that he couldn't guess his thoughts so much.
——
In the evening, when Su Ji went home, it was already after dinner, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of TV, Su Ji planned to say hello to Xin Yuzhi first and then go back to the house, and walked into the living room, but saw that Mu Jincheng was actually there.
In the past, when Mu Jincheng came back, she was either ready to sleep, or she had already slept, and it was rare for her to come back so early, which made her surprised.
Compared to her surprise, Mu Jincheng just glanced at her expressionlessly, and continued to look back on the TV screen.
"Xiaoji, come, come and sit down, watch TV with me for a while. Xin Yuzhi beckoned to her and said.
"Good. Su Ji responded, walked to Xin Yuzhi's side and sat down, Mu Jincheng didn't even look at her the whole time.
"Why don't you go home for dinner tonight, it's rare for Ah Jin to go home for dinner today. Xin Yuzhi said.
"I happened to have an appointment in the evening, and it was rare for the other party to come back from abroad, so it was natural to get together. Su Ji said truthfully.
"Who is it?" Xin Yuyi asked casually while watching the TV.
Su Ji originally wanted to tell the truth, but suddenly remembered Zhou Yuyang's coquettish expression when she told her not to tell anyone, and couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, and said, "A person I have known since childhood." ”
"I see. Hearing this, Xin Yuzhi only regarded him as a neighbor or friend, and didn't ask any more.
Thinking of Zhou Yuyang, the expression on Su Ji's face unconsciously became a little more pleasant.
What she didn't expect was that the smile she showed when she thought of Zhou Yuyang just now made him frown involuntarily when someone next to her saw it in his eyes.
After a while, Su Ji looked at the time and said, "Mom, I'm a little tired today, so I'll go up and rest first." ”
"Okay, there you go. Xin Yuzhi nodded understandingly.
Su Ji bowed, got up and went upstairs with his bag, Mu Jincheng looked at her back as she went upstairs, and his eyebrows kept frowning.
Although he had been watching TV just now, he had been looking at them from time to time, and Su Ji had not looked at them since then, except for a glance at him when he had just come in.
He felt extremely depressed when he remembered that he saw Su Ji and that man being intimate during the day, and the way she had just mentioned that man smiling.
When Su Ji came out of the shower, he saw Mu Jincheng also open the door and walk in from outside.
The two looked at each other, stunned each other, and looked at each other for a few seconds, then Su Ji lowered his eyes and staggered his gaze, and said, "Do you want to take a bath?" I'll go and put water on you. ”
"No need. Mu Jincheng responded lightly, then turned around and walked towards the locker room.
Seeing him walk into the locker room, Su Ji lowered his eyes and groaned for a while, and then walked away.
When Mu Jincheng came out after taking out his clothes, he saw Su Ji sitting in front of the dresser blowing her hair, and the scent of shampoo left on her hair wafted all over the room.
He subconsciously glanced at the bathroom that was still dark, and his face sank somehow, and he walked into the bathroom with a low atmosphere.
As soon as his bathroom door was closed, Su Ji glanced back at the bathroom door, frowning a little confusedly, Mu Jincheng didn't seem to be in a good mood today.
When Mu Jincheng came out after washing, the lights in the room were still on, but Su Ji had already gone to bed, and she turned on the night light on one side, as if to wait for him to turn off the headlights and leave, she didn't need to get up and turn on the lights again.
Obviously, everything is the same as usual, but today Mu Jincheng felt faintly unhappy, he left the room with a black face, and came to the guest room where he slept these days, but he felt hopeful and bored, he didn't blow his head, walked to the balcony, and took out his mobile phone.
As soon as the phone rang, before Mu Jincheng could speak, he heard a crackling voice over there: "Hey, let me tell you, don't want to ask me to drink with you again, every time you call me out, you just throw me there and leave by yourself after a few drinks, I'm fed up!"
"I'm not asking you to drink this time. Mu Jincheng said.
"Then why are you calling me, in the middle of the night, miss me, want to hear my charming voice?" Yu Xiao said deliberately in an ambiguous tone.
Listening to his underwhelming tone, Mu Jincheng rolled his eyes in disgust: "I suddenly felt that it was a mistake for me to call you." ”
"Tsk, I can't help but laugh!" Yu Xiao said angrily, "What do you want to say, say it." ”
After he finished speaking, the earpiece was quiet, and if it weren't for the whirring wind in the earpiece, he would have thought it was disconnected.
"Hey, are you still there?"
Hearing his voice, Mu Jincheng said: "There is nothing to say." ”
Hearing this, Yu Xiao couldn't help but say with a blanket face: "I have nothing to say, so why are you calling me?"
After saying that, the other party fell into silence again, Yu Xiao thought for a while, and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Hearing this, Mu Jincheng's tone suddenly sank: "No." ”
"Look at the tone of your voice, you are obviously angry, and you still say no, is something happening?" Yu Xiao asked.
Mu Jincheng still didn't admit it: "No, it's no different from before." ”
"That's normal as always, what are you angry about?" Yu Xiao said, thought about it and said, "You probably are on fire, you usually always eat things that you love to be on fire, and you are not defeated by fire, and over time, the liver fire is too strong, so you are easy to get angry, well, it must be so!"
"Probably, hang up. Mu Jincheng stopped listening to his nonsense and hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, Yu Xiao was depressed and angry: "Hey, this person, in the middle of the night, the phone will be called, and the phone will be hung up, and I really treat my number as 10086!"
Mu Jincheng put down his phone, and remembered Yu Xiao's words just now, it was no different from usual, normal as always, what are you angry about?
He also wanted to know what he was angry about and what he was unhappy about.
Mu Jincheng felt that he was probably going crazy.
The next day, when Su Ji woke up, she was startled by the person lying next to her, if it weren't for her hand on the bedside table, she was afraid that she would fall out of bed.
Su Ji looked at the person lying on the quilt without covering it, and after a while, he gradually calmed down.
Mu Jincheng ...... How could he sleep here?
Her movements made Mu Jincheng wake up, he rubbed his forehead, opened his eyes, and saw Su Ji still looking at him in shock.
Mu Jincheng was also startled, and hurriedly got up, and began to think about what happened last night, how could he wake up and lie here.
After he lay down last night, he couldn't sleep, and then he went downstairs, ready to drink a few sips of wine to help him sleep, but he couldn't stop drinking, and finally Shuheng, who was about to go back to the house to sleep, subconsciously went to the bedroom.
He patted his forehead in annoyance, it was really a mistake to drink.
Because of his profession, Su Ji has always been sensitive to smells, and when he calmed down, he noticed the subtle smell of alcohol in the air.
"You...... Did you drink?" she asked.
Mu Jincheng was immersed in chagrin, she didn't say anything, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "In the future, it's better to drink less bars, it's not good for your health." ”
Seeing that he had been rubbing his head, Su Ji thought for a while and said, "If you are uncomfortable, then rest for a while, and I will go and ask someone to cook you sobering soup first." ”
With that, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, preparing to leave the room, Mu Jincheng finally said yes, his lips moved, and he said, "No need." ”
Hearing this, Su Ji stopped and turned to look at him: "Let's cook a little and drink, you still have to go to work today, don't affect the state of the whole day." ”
As she spoke, she continued to walk out, Mu Jincheng couldn't help frowning, and raised her voice and said, "Come back, I really don't need to, I'm fine." ”
Su Ji looked back at him, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "That's good." ”
Mu Jincheng watched her turn around and walk into the bathroom, letting go of the hand that was rubbing her head.
When Su Ji came out after washing, Mu Jincheng had already gotten off the bed, and when he saw her come out, he immediately walked in.
Su Ji turned sideways to look into the bathroom, in the past few days, Mu Jincheng has become a little abnormal, so abnormal that she can clearly feel it, I don't know if he has encountered something.
After breakfast, it was already 8 o'clock, Zhou Yuyang was on the plane at 10 o'clock in the morning, Su Ji planned to take him to the airport first, and then go back to the studio after he left.
The cars of the two left the old moon one after the other, Mu Jincheng's car drove behind, if it was before, he would have overtaken and left directly, but this time he followed behind with a good guard, and then he saw Su Ji's car turn in the direction and drive in another direction.
He frowned suddenly, he remembered that she went to the studio, not this way, so if she didn't go to the studio, where would she go?
The picture of her being with that man yesterday suddenly came to mind, was she going to see that man?
Thinking of this, Mu Jincheng's heart was inexplicably depressed.
……
Su Ji came to Zhou Yuyang's room, rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door opened.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Yuyang put his hands on her shoulders unkempt, leaned forward and leaned his chin on her shoulder.
"Sister, you're here......" he called out to her with a wistful voice that had just woken up.
Su Ji grabbed his hand and wanted to push him away: "Why are you still like a child, hurry up, you are more than one meter eight tall on me, and you are dead!"
"I'm one meter eight eight ......" Zhou Yuyang grinned and blew up his height, and obediently got up from her.
"It's tall again, and it's still old. Hearing this, Su Ji looked up at his figure, sighed, and then pushed him into the house, "Okay, go and clean yourself up, and I'll catch a plane later." ”
"Got it!" Zhou Yuyang replied and closed the door.
They never noticed that in a distant corner, a pair of eyes were staring at them.
