Chapter 14: The Chamber of Secrets
Zhang Ma and He Lu exclaimed in fright, and Mu Kunlong threw down the rattan and picked up Yunshi.
"Call Dr. Xu—" He picked up Yun Shi and walked to the bedroom on the second floor.
Zhang's mother immediately ran to the table to pick up the phone and contact the private doctor at home.
Mu Jianfeng, who was on the side, covered his chest with a muffled snort and slowly sat on the ground.
"Husband, husband." Seeing this, He Lu panicked and stepped forward to support him.
"I'm fine, help me back to my room." He waved his hand and said to He Lu with chest pain.
"Lulu, help mom and dad." She shouted at Xiaolu. Xiaolu stepped forward, and the two helped Mu Jianfeng up to the second floor.
At three o'clock in the morning, Mu Jianfeng woke up. He picked up his reading glasses from the bedside table and put them on, and quietly walked out of the room. Passing 4 wall lamps along the corridor, he stopped in Xiaolu's room and gently pushed the door open. Xiaolu was sleeping soundly on the bed at this time, Mu Jianfeng helped her cover the thin blanket, and got up to check the air conditioning display on the wall. Confirm that the air conditioner is not turned on too low. When he walked to the door, he turned to look at Xiaolu who was sleeping soundly before leaving.
Yunshi's room is next to Xiaolu's. Mu Jianfeng stood at the door, put his hand on the doorknob and put it back, repeated it twice and still didn't go in, he sighed heavily. saw the door open, and Mu Kunlong walked out of it.
Somewhat surprised, he looked inside the room and asked with concern. "How is she?"
"Asleep. Dr. Xu had already medicated her. Mu Kunlong closed the door as he spoke. I went to the basement and passed by here, and I heard her crying, so I went in and had a look. ”
Mu Jianfeng glanced at the red wine that Mu Kunlong had taken from the underground wine cellar in his hand.
"Still having insomnia?" He asked, pausing before speaking. "Let's have a drink."
The two went to the fireplace on the first floor. Mu Kunlong found two goblets from the kitchen, opened the wine, poured a glass, and handed it to Mu Jianfeng.
Mu Jianfeng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the scenery outside the window for a while before slowly turning around and asking Mu Kunlong, who was sitting by the fireplace.
"I heard that Changhua Industrial wants to compete with us for a piece of real estate in New York, how is things going?"
"I have sent Zhang Kai to New York last week to prepare, and tomorrow I will participate in the bidding in New York."
Mu Jianfeng nodded trustingly. He groaned again.
"I feel that my body is not as good as before these days, and you have to be ready to take over the Muhe Group." After he finished speaking, he took a sip of wine, which was soft and sweet, with a slightly astringent taste. "You're still young, and the seniors on the board are a little worried...... Remember to be full of losses and humble to benefit. The Tang family is a bloody example, the Tang family is arrogant, stubborn and stubborn, it didn't take a few years to lose the foundation of the ancestors, and the Tang family business collapsed. ”
He sighed and turned to look at the moon outside the window. couldn't hide his emotions and muttered: "You say, will that kid hate me?" ”
Mu Kunlong looked up at Mu Jianfeng's somewhat gloomy back. "Although Yunshi is stubborn by nature, she has a cheerful personality and does not know how to hold grudges. Not as sensitive and fragile as Lulu, and will be fine in a few days. ”
"That's right." Mu Jianfeng sighed: "But if she wants to know who I am, I'm afraid she will hate me for being biased." ”
The next day, there were three poles on the sun. Yun Shi was awakened by the sun. She broke open her hazy eyes and saw Mama Zhang standing at the window, arranging the curtains.
"Mama Zhang." Yun Shi got up and rubbed her eyes. The first feeling was that the calf was a hot pain.
The housekeeper Zhang's mother is in her early 60s and has a stout body. He has been in the Mu family for more than 40 years. She approached the rhyme.
"Mr. Mu said that you have a leg injury, you don't need to go to school these days, and you can keep it at home."
"Really?" Yun Shi looked up at her when she heard this, and her eyebrows and eyes smiled.
Zhang's mother looked at her and thought, if she is really a heartless girl, she can laugh so happily after being beaten so badly.
"Don't be too happy, Mr. Mu has found you a tutor, and he will come in the afternoon."
Yun Shi's mouth immediately deflated when she heard this. joked: "It's too miserable to study after being beaten so badly, isn't it?"
Zhang's mother looked down and checked her calf and said to her. "Your leg is still swollen, don't go downstairs. I brought the food. With that, she scrambled out of the room.
About five minutes later, she walked into the room again with a delicate plate. He was followed by another aunt with a small table in her hand. Yun Shi smelled the aroma of rice and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
The two set the table on her bed, and Zhang's mother brought the meals one by one. Yun Shi counted, a plate of stir-fried meat, a plate of vegetarian okra, a night of beef soup, a bowl of rice, and some desserts such as cake and peach crisp. Zhang's mother handed the chopsticks and spoon to Yun Shi and said to her.
"Whatever you want to eat, tell me." After saying that, I got up and wanted to leave.
Yun Shi whispered. "Mama Zhang...... That ......"
Seeing this, Zhang's mother asked the aunt next to her to leave first, and she walked back to Yunshi's side and sat on the edge of the bed.
"What's the matter?"
"I want to ask about yesterday......" Yunshi smirked at her embarrassedly and patted her head. Hehe, I forgot about it later. ”
"Last night, Kunlong came down to help you out. Later, I invited Dr. Xu to help you with medicine. ”
"Is it gone?"
"What else do you want?" Zhang's mother asked her rhetorically.
"Oh, it's nothing." Yun Shi lowered her head and dug a spoonful of rice and put it in her mouth. "Last night in my dream, I felt someone holding my hand and comforting me all the time, which was quite warm."
"Maybe Lulu." Zhang's mother looked at Yun Shi, "You live close, and my wife has asked her to keep an eye on you at night." ”
"I see." Yun Shi was full of emotion when she heard it. "I thought she hated me to death."
"You," Mama Zhang sighed and poked Yunshi's head. "It's good to spend even half of your energy every day on studying. You don't have to worry about it. Last night, Mr. Mu took a lot of blood pressure medicine because of you. You don't know where you came from, and you don't look like your parents at all. ”
"Mom Zhang, do you know my parents?" Yun Shi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she asked eagerly.
"Well, it was more than 20 years ago." Zhang's mother avoided the important and preached lightly. "Your mother is dignified and elegant, down-to-earth and generous, and she speaks softly, even we women like it."
"Well, how is that possible?" Yun Shi waved her hand when she heard this, and shook her head again and again. "My mom was so loud that she could hear her screaming for hundreds of meters. We used to distribute rice to the village chief in the countryside, and she could resist two bags alone. One time I was bullied at school, and the boy smashed my head with a stone, and she went to school and beat the parents of her male classmates to the ground. ”
Zhang's mother was stunned when she heard this, and was silent for a while before speaking. "I didn't expect that I hadn't seen it for so many years, and it had changed so much."
"Where's my dad? What kind of person is my dad? Yun Shi asked.
Mama Zhang looked at her innocent eyes and felt pity in her heart, but she just said to her. "Since your mother didn't mention him, don't talk about it. Adults have their own adult truths, and she will naturally say it when it is time for you to know. ”
Yun Shi wanted to ask again, but Zhang's mother had already gotten up.
"I still have work to do in the flower room. Eat while it's hot. She left.
Yun Shi no longer dwelled on the topic just now, and the intestinal sound caused by hunger made her quickly devote her body and mind to eating.
After a storm, it was a mess in less than half an hour. Yun Shi patted her bulging belly and decided to go down for a walk.
The moment she moved her legs, she felt that her whole nerves were crying pain, she first allowed herself to stand up, and when she got used to it, she walked and stopped and slowly moved forward.
The house has the architectural style of the European Renaissance, classical elegance, and solemnity. She is familiar with the facilities and layout of the first and second floors. She rarely set foot on the third floor, because the entire floor was used by Mu Kunlong. He often leaves early and returns late, and when he is at home, he mostly stays on the third floor. All she knew was that there was a kitchen, a swimming pool, and all kinds of household amenities.
Yun Shi stroked the stairs and went up the third floor step by step. The eye catches the eye with jellyfish-shaped crystal chandeliers, blue-gray long sofas, and light brown background walls. On either side of the wall hanging, there are white lattice-shaped openwork cabinets with books, picture frames, and small potted plants. A little further in, there are five armchairs of the same light brown color, clustered around a small round table. To the left of the table is a row of taller silver cabinets, on which are placed small white sculptures, medals, and some cute figurines.
Yun Shi walked in slowly, and the doors of the two bedrooms inside were closed, and only one was open. She pushed the door and entered, and saw an iron-gray bed on the white-gray floor, and the background wall behind the bed was very unique, like a rain flower stone, white gray, light gray and mud yellow. In front of the bed is a floor-to-ceiling window of glass of varying sizes, and by the window is a low, slender cabinet, on the left side of which is a white vase with a thin waist with tree-like branches, and on the right is a blue swivel chair.
Yunsy was drawn to the hourglass of wine glasses at the head of the bed, and she stepped forward to pick it up and fiddle with it. As soon as she looked down, she saw a crystal table lamp on the low white bedside table that was connected like raindrops, so she put back the hourglass and reached out to touch the table lamp, and when she touched the lamp base, she unintentionally turned around, and suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, and the back wall in front of her with the color of the rain flower stone suddenly and slowly opened from the right side.
Yun Shi was dumbfounded, came back to her senses and walked in cautiously.
It was dark inside, and she fumbled for the wall with the light from outside and turned on the light. She saw two rows of tall bookshelves on either side, and in the middle was a set of light gray sofas with a coffee table and a TV in front of it. Yun Shi curiously browsed through the shelves, with many old video tapes, some folders, and miscellaneous items in the frames. Each one is numbered. She picked up a set of black photo albums, opened them and saw that they were newspaper clippings, the contents of which were cut out of different newspapers in chronological order, framed with beautiful gilded lace, and then carefully pasted into the album. Yun Shi flipped through the newspaper clippings, and was suddenly attracted by a piece of news, only to see the title read: He Yikuan, the successor of He's enterprise, and his wife Min Xianya were both killed in a car accident this morning.
