Chapter 37: Invitation

During the lunch break, Wen Tao ate another five-person serving, and Mu Shi was used to it.

Mu Shi asked curiously: "Boss, why don't you get fat after eating so much, but your figure seems to have gotten better?" ”

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Wen Tao joked: "Because when you are sleeping and dating, I am exercising." ”

Mu Shi felt aggrieved: "No, I haven't seen Zixuan for a long time, and now it's almost the end of the year, and he is busy all day." ”

Now that the time has come to December, it is not far from New Year's Day, and the end of the semester is approaching, whether it is academics or various activities on campus, there are a lot of activities, as the president of the student union, it is strange not to be busy.

Wen Tao was puzzled: "Anyway, you all talk about this love as if you are in a long-distance relationship, how did you persevere?" What do you like about him? Wen Tao didn't have any good feelings or dislike for Chu Zixuan, and he was indeed curious about what advantages he didn't know that made his little clerk so obsessed with him.

Speaking of Chu Zixuan, Mu Shi smiled happily: "Because he is very good and capable, although his family conditions are average, he is self-motivated, he is handsome, and more importantly, he is very good to me." We didn't see each other much, but he called me every night to say goodnight. ”

Wen Tao covered her face, this silly girl's requirements are really low, a phone call every night can be satisfied, and choosing a boyfriend to choose a good one for herself is also a simple requirement.

And Chu Zixuan is indeed a very good person, after all, there are not many people with brains, ambitions, abilities, and good looks, even Wen Tao has one less ambition than him, just one more rich.

Sometimes money is very important, but for money that is not earned by one's own ability, although it is comfortable to use, it is easy to wear down one's will.

Just like Wen Tao, this kind of lazy character, once he loses his financial resources, may be inferior to ordinary people - provided that what happened after meeting Tianyi is not counted.

"Okay then." Wen Tao packed up the garbage and prepared to throw it into the trash can outside the door. "It's good if you're happy."

"Wait a minute, boss, I still have something I want to discuss with you." Mu Shi stopped Wen Tao.

Wen Tao stopped when he heard this, and looked at Mu Shi suspiciously.

The little girl who was talking eloquently just now was a little embarrassed at the moment, and the blush crept up her cheeks, Wen Tao swore to Tianyi that it had absolutely nothing to do with him!

"My mom would like to invite you...... On New Year's Day...... Visiting our house...... "Mu Shi's head is getting lower and lower, like an escapist ostrich.

"Huh? Invite me? Why? Wen Tao felt inexplicable.

"Is it because of your adult birthday?" Wen Tao guessed that New Year's Day happened to be Mu Shi's birthday.

"No, I'm just grateful that you've taken care of me for so long, and I want to thank you in person......" Mu Shi's neck was almost parallel to the ground at a 90-degree angle with his body, and his long soft hair covered Mu Shi's face completely, but Wen Tao knew through the two red ears that emerged from the ends of his hair that Mu Shi was now extremely shy, so he didn't tease her anymore.

"Does your mother know about Chu Zixuan?" Wen Tao asked suddenly.

"Zixuan also went to my house, but he was not notified on New Year's Day."

"Then why...... Forget it, I'll just go, and it's better to close early on New Year's Day and rest. Wen Tao felt very strange, this looked as if he was going home to meet his parents with Mu Shi, but since they knew about Chu Zixuan's existence, they shouldn't have misunderstood their relationship with Mu Shi, right?

"That'...... That's it! After receiving Wen Tao's affirmative reply, Mu Shi ran away as if he were running away, not daring to say a word to Wen Tao again.

Wen Tao felt that this matter was full of weirdness, first of all, Mu Shi's mother, who had never known him, invited him to their house as a guest on New Year's Day, why did it have to be New Year's Day, couldn't it be tomorrow or the weekend? Then according to Mu Shi's usual personality, if it was because of his mother's misunderstanding, Mu Shi would only feel helpless instead of shy......

Forget it, I don't want to, anyway, I'll know until New Year's Day.

What Wen Tao didn't expect was that Mu Shi didn't talk to Wen Tao for the next few days, Wen Tao was still idle at first, but three days later, Mu Shi was still like that, Wen Tao could only arrest Mu Shi and educate him, and Mu Shi finally returned to normal.

Soon, New Year's Day arrived.

"Sorry, we closed early today......" After seeing off the last customer of the day at 18 o'clock, Wen Tao closed Sanchenzhai and didn't dress up in particular, and prepared to go to her home with Mu Shi in civilian clothes.

"What's in your hand?" Before going out, Wen Tao saw Mu Shi holding a big box and asked strangely.

"Hehe, this is a gift~" Mu Shi's expression was very excited, it seemed that she was in a good mood today.

Wen Tao was stunned after hearing this, and said with annoyance: "Oh no, I forgot to buy a gift today, I just remembered that today was New Year's Day and I was going to your house, but I forgot that today is still your 18th birthday." ”

Mu Shi's expression froze for a second, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered his expression and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can send me a birthday wish." ”

"So...... Happy birthday to you! Wen Tao took out a card from his arms and handed it to Mu Shi, his face was filled with a wicked smile, and after teasing Mu Shi, the whole person was in a happy mood.

"Wow! What is it? Mu Shi didn't expect the plot to turn around in an instant, and said in surprise.

"Wait, why is it a supermarket shopping card???" Seeing the appearance of the gift, Mu Shi was full of question marks.

"The little girl's family, do you still want to receive a lipstick envelope? No matter how much nonsense there is, next time it'll only be Barbie! ”

"Hmph, then I'll reluctantly accept it." Although Mu Shi looked like she was about to have an awkward relationship with Wen Tao, the corners of her mouth couldn't hide her upturned, betraying her mood at that time.

The reason why I gave Mu Shi this supermarket 1,000 yuan shopping card was because I wanted her to spend some money on herself, but her salary was not low, but she always sent money back, and she had to deduct and search.

And although she has been working for two years, probably because she is still young, she doesn't often use cosmetics, bags and lipsticks and other girls' must-haves, so Wen Tao didn't give her these gifts.

As for jewelry, it's better to give it to your boyfriend or girlfriend, whether it's as an older brother or a boss, it's too strange to give a ring necklace.

After a while, I finally went out.

Wen Tao didn't have a need to use a car, so he never got a driver's license, and he never bought a car, so he called an online car-hailing car from Mu Shi, and the address displayed on Mu Shi's mobile phone was "Yu Lezhiju Children's Welfare Institute".

That's right, this is Mu Shi's home, she is an orphan, and her so-called mother is actually the director of the welfare home, and the children in the house call her the director's mother.

Wen Tao naturally knew a long time ago that Mu Shi's weekly vacation was basically to go back to the welfare home to visit her younger siblings, and the sister she used to call was a girl who came out of this welfare home before and now lives alone.

Perhaps it was the identity of the other party who also had an orphan that made Wen Tao feel more sympathetic and close, so he regarded Mu Shi as half of his sister.

It was precisely because he knew that Mu Shi was an orphan that Wen Tao wondered why the dean's mother invited him over.

Lezhiju Orphanage is an old private welfare home in Chongqing, but the welfare home is no different from others, and the longer it is established, the older the infrastructure.

It's not that the hospital doesn't want to renovate, but it's really shy and stretched.

Unlike public welfare institutions, private welfare homes do not have financial allocation and financial support from the government, and can only rely on donations from caring people from all walks of life and the savings of the dean's mother over the years, which is one of the reasons why Mu Shi came out to work at the age of 16.

And Mu Shi has no savings because she will remit 4,000 yuan to the orphanage's account every month, and the rest of the money has to maintain the expenses on weekdays and the dating fund with Chu Zixuan, so her pockets are cleaner than her face.

Because it is an anonymous remittance, the dean does not know that the caring person she has always wanted to see who sends money regularly every month is Mu Shi, otherwise she will definitely not accept it, the dean's greatest wish is to hope that whether it is a child in the orphanage or a child who has gone out, there is a happy life, and he does not want the welfare home to become a burden for adult children.

It is her responsibility as the director to keep the orphanage running, not the children's obligation!

Lezhiju Welfare Institute is not too far, but the location is relatively partial, it is not very convenient to take the subway and bus, so I chose to take a taxi to go over, although Mu Shi is careful to live, but when he is with others, he does not pick the door, so it took nearly an hour to get there and the cost of the road is not distressed.

What's more, the wool comes out of the sheep.

It was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening when I arrived at the welfare home, but the courtyard of the welfare home was rarely full of cars, and most of them were luxury cars, which was in stark contrast to the online car-hailing car that Wen Tao and the others were sitting in.

Co-authored not only invited himself, Wen Tao was a little enlightened, since it was on New Year's Day, then it seems that there should be a New Year's Day party.

Wen Tao turned his head to look at Mu Shi, this girl must know the inside story, but she kept holding back, so Wen Tao guessed that there must be something unspeakable, which should be the reason why she was too shy to speak.

As for the reason? Anyway, they're already walking here, so let's just go in and take a look.

With the surrounding crowd wearing suits or expensive coats walked into the door together, although Wen Tao and Mu Shi's casual clothes are more eye-catching here, but they only attract a little curiosity from everyone, everyone is a high-quality person, there are not so many people who want to come over to mock Wen Tao's clothes.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this is a welfare home, and the people who can appear here on this day are more or less caring, not to mention that Wen Tao also found that several reporters came in and out here with cameras.

Even if they have the heart to show off their superiority, no one will be stupid enough to send material to reporters.
