Chapter 182: You can't mention this name in the Ji family
Dong Yaning looked at Mu Xi, "Since it's okay, then I'll go back first, you can rest well." β
"Good night, Madame Yaning."
"Good night."
Dong Yaning's body shook as soon as he took a step, as if he was about to faint.
"Mrs. Yaning, are you alright?"
"It's just a little dizzy, it's not in the way." Dong Yaning covered his forehead with his hand, and after walking less than two steps, he stumbled and was about to fall.
Mu Xi stepped forward quickly and hugged Dong Yaning, "Mrs. Yaning, your face is not very good, I'll go and call Miss Ding for you." The description of Dong Yaning on the notepad is that this woman is scheming and competitive, but now Dong Yaning gives Mu Xi a kind of kindness, sincere and friendly feeling, even so, but Mu Xi does not dare to take it lightly.
"I'll be fine when I go back to my room and lie down, can you help me back to my room?"
Faced with Dong Yaning's initiative, Mu Xi chose to agree, after all, she also wanted to personally understand what kind of person Dong Yaning is now, "Okay." β
Dong Yaning's face was pale, as if he couldn't walk steadily, and he had to hold Mu Xi's arm when he walked, for fear that he would faint.
When going up the stairs, Mu Xi kept reminding Dong Yaning to be careful of his step.
"Secretary Mu, you are really attentive and considerate, when I saw you, I thought of Xunxia."
Looking for summer? ββ¦β¦β
Without waiting for Mu Xi to ask who this person was, Dong Yaning continued: "I heard Jiaqi mention you, she said that your education is not enough for the position of secretary, so I comforted Jiaqi and said that you can be competent, you must be better than her in ability, otherwise why would my son choose you to be the secretary with my son's critical eye, I know now, you are not only better than Jiaqi, but even your personality is very similar to Xun Xia, probably because of these, so Lu Jun will choose you as a secretary." β
Who is this Xun Xia?
The names that came out of Dong Yaning's mouth were very unfamiliar to Mu Xi, and it also made Mu Xi realize that she didn't know anything about Ji Qianjun's past except for the content on the notepad, and the notepad didn't record this Xunxia, so she didn't know what kind of past they had.
"The bracelet on your hand looks familiar."
Dong Yaning's words once again aroused Mu Xi's curiosity. Mu Xi raised his hand, "That's what you're talking about?" β
Dong Yaning was a little excited, held Mu Xi's hand and looked at it carefully, "Like, really like ......"
...... "Could it be that this bracelet also has a past?"
Dong Yaning seemed to affirm that the thing she was wearing on her hand was the bracelet that Dong Yaning knew, and sighed and reproached, "Lu Jun is really true, you can't go to Xun Xia, so I will put the gift he gave to Xun Xia on you, and let you be Xun Xia's stand-in." β
Since she misunderstood Ji Qianjun because of Dong Yaning's words that night, what comes out of Dong Yaning's mouth now, Mu Xi has to think twice, so as not to cause misunderstandings and cracks in the relationship between the two people.
Mu Xi's tone was calm, as if he was not angry with Ji Qianjun because of Dong Yaning's words, and looked back at Dong Yaning's eyes when he was looking at her, "Mrs. Yaning, you are too worried, Mr. Ji is just afraid that this bracelet will rust, so he put it on my hand, and I will return it to him when it is bright." β
"I see." Dong Yaning nodded lightly and said in a gentle tone, as if reminiscing about the past, "Xun Xia is very important to Lu Jun, at that time, Xun Xia was often lost, and Lu Jun was afraid that he would not be able to find her, so he found someone to make her a bracelet, and Lu Jun said that as long as the bell rings on her hand, she can find her." β
What a coincidence, Ji Qijun also said this to her. Although he was repeatedly skeptical of Dong Yaning's words, Mu Xi couldn't help but be interested in this person named Xun Xia.
After sending Dong Yaning back to the room, Mu Xi met Ji Youyang in the corridor as soon as he came out of the room.
"Secretary Mu, such a coincidence."
Ji Youyang was holding milk in his hand, as if he was going to deliver something to someone, and he happened to pass by and met Mu Xi.
"Hmm." Mu Xi replied and walked away.
Because I don't love him, doesn't I even have a trace of affection, and the relationship that was once so good is now simply broken? Ji Youyang, who was so painful that he was unwilling, grabbed the passing wood, looked at the section of her robe wrapped in gauze, her heart turned into distress, and she tried to raise a smile. Xi Muxi, "Congratulations on moving in so soon, it is commendable to have a heart to climb up and work hard to marry into a wealthy family, but my second brother has not disclosed your identity, you can't wait to be so close to my little mother, and send someone to the room, don't you think your move is a little too attentive?" β
At this moment, Ji Youyang not only disappointed Mu Xi, but also began to make Mu Xi a little disgusted with his words and deeds, "Thank you Si Shao for reminding me." β
He heard Sister Mu's indifferent tone, and also heard his heartbroken voice, he didn't hate, no anger, only peace of mind, because all this was exactly what he wanted, he didn't want her to be caught between him and Ji Qijun in the future, since this is the case, then hate him to the end, dislike him to the end, so that she doesn't have any worries.
Ji Youyang looked at the maid who was coming not far away, let go of Mu Xi's arm, and "Good night...... "My sister Mu." The secrets that cannot be told are left behind the ellipsis and guarded until death.
"......" answered Ji Youyang with the footsteps of Mu Xi leaving.
The voice that faded away was like the relationship between him and Mu Xi.
It didn't matter how much he cared about the smile on his lips, and the man continued to walk forward, and began to whistle in order to show that he was particularly happy.
β¦β¦
A police uncle came to look for Mommy, Mommy went downstairs to find a maid to blow his hair, after the hair was dried, Mu Xiaobao lay on the bed to read, waited for almost half an hour and didn't see Mommy come back, I was really not at ease, put down the book and went out to find someone, just walked to the stairs and saw Laura walking in the direction of the guest room with a glass of water.
Still pouring water so late, did Mommy go to the old lady's room again? Out of curiosity, Mu Xiaobao followed Lola all the way to the door of the old lady's room, and Mu Xiaobao pouted his little ass eyes and stared inside the crack of the door.
In the old lady's room, the light was dim, and there was a cough from time to time, and after Lola put down the water glass, she handed the old lady a handkerchief, "Old lady, are you better?" β
"This man is like a hanging bell, running day after day, year after year, and there will always be problems after a long time, and in the end it is all tinkering and making do."
The old lady spoke with such humor, Lola smiled and patted the old lady's back gently, "The police just came downstairs, it seems that they came to ask about what happened tonight, Mrs. Yaning accompanied Miss Mu downstairs to see the police, and then the police received a call that Miss Liang's testimony was just an ordinary dispute accident, and the police left." β
The old lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed softly, "cough, cough, cough......"
"Tonight, thanks to the old lady, if it weren't for you, the old lady, Miss Mu would probably have met with an accident." Laura's words were very meaningful, as if he was alluding to something. "Old lady, you are really kind."
"Don't brag about me, I just can't see Xiaobao lose his mother at such a young age."
Indeed, this is also a reason, but the most important thing is that the old lady is kind-hearted and saves Miss Mu's life.
"Crunchβ" There was the sound of the door being pushed open.
Lola looked back in the direction of the door, "Who is it?" β
"It's me." He heard it all, it turned out that the old lady was not bad, for the sake of her saving Mommy, then go in and care about her.
"Little treasure is here." When the old lady heard that Mu Xiaobao was coming, she was in a lot of spirits and handed the handkerchief to Lola.
Lola got up from the side of the bed and saw Mu Xiaobao running in, Lola smiled and patted the side of the bed lightly, "Come here and sit." β
After Mu Xiaobao ran to the bedside, he saw that the old lady's face was a little pale, so he took the initiative to climb on the bed and reached out to touch the old lady's forehead, "Grandmother, are you sick?" β
"Grandmother is fine, why don't you rest so late?" The old lady lifted the quilt and covered Mu Xiaobao's lap, afraid that he would blow the air conditioner and freeze.
"My mommy went downstairs and hasn't come back yet, so I'll come over to see my grandmother."
This little mouth is sweet, more pleasing than those people outside the door, "Oh, then you sleep at Grandma's, I'll ask Lola to tell Mommy in a while, and she'll come and pick you up when she's done." β
Seeing the old lady, he thought of the old lady, at that time he couldn't accompany the wife well, the wife left only to find that after people become stars in the sky, no matter what she does, she can't hear it, and she will always feel very uncomfortable empty, so the old lady is so good to them, since the old lady likes him, then he will accompany the old lady well, squeezing out a bright smile that the old lady likes to see the most, "Okay." β
After Lola left, in the quiet room, Mu Xiaobao lay in the arms of the old lady, and the old lady gently patted Mu Xiaobao's chest like a baby, and sang a nursery rhyme that Mu Xiaobao had never heard.
"Grandmother, this song is so good, I've never heard it before."
"You like, grandmother sings to you every day."
"Okay." He seemed to see tears in his grandmother's eyes, why, why did his grandmother cry when she sang this song?
The old lady's singing voice became choked, and when her wrinkled hand was raised to wipe her eyes, a small soft hand wiped her tears.
Finally, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the old grandmother took a deep breath, "Grandmother will tell you another story." β
"What's the story?"
"The story of a polar bear."
"Okay." Actually, my grandmother wasn't bad, right, I knew that he had just watched a movie about polar bears and told him this story.
Lola stood at the door of the room for a long time, and heard the voice of the old lady telling the story inside, and couldn't help laughing, I haven't seen the old lady happy like a child for a long time, it seems that the old lady is now more and more fond of Xiaobao, and she is about to love Xiaobao as her own little great-grandson.
Lola walked away, and met Mu Xi walking on the opposite side of the corridor, that direction is where Dong Yaning Ji Jiameng lives, it seems that Mu Xi is sending Dong Yaning back to the room. "Miss Mu, good evening."
"Good evening, Lola."
Mu Xi nodded and said hello, not knowing that Lola still had something to look for her, so he continued to walk forward.
Lola followed Mu Xi's footsteps, "Miss Mu, Xiaobao is at the old lady's place, can you let him stay there for a longer time to accompany the old lady?" β
"Huh?" The old lady looks really fond of Xiaobao. Mu Xi nodded slightly, "Then I'll come back later to pick him up." β
"Thank you, Miss Mu, you are really kind in your heart, and kind people will be rewarded." The old lady likes Xiaobao, so she will naturally protect Miss Mu, with the protection of the old lady, maybe in the future it will be like tonight, with the old lady here, Miss Mu's mother and son will be safe and sound.
"Accept your words." Mu Xi smiled slightly, nodded without speaking, and continued to walk forward, about a few minutes away, Mu Xi, who had been thinking about something, couldn't help but ask: "Laura." β
"Miss Mu, please speak."
"Who is Xun Xia?"
Mentioning this name, Mu Xi noticed that Lola's face became very serious, could it be that this person is a big man and can't be mentioned?
"Miss Mu, you can't mention this name in the Ji family in the future, just treat it as if you haven't heard of it." Sometimes, a name is like a fuse that ignites the smoke every minute.
"Then what the hell is she......" Mu Xi didn't finish asking, but was interrupted by a laughing voice, "Secretary Mu, I heard that you came in to live, if you need anything, just tell me." β
The person who interrupted Mu Xi's words was Luo Zhiqiu, Luo Zhiqiu walked over with a smile on his face and enthusiasm, and looked up at Lola when he walked in front of Mu Xi, "It's time for a meeting." β
"Okay, I'll do it now."
Luo Zhiqiu's hand was on Mu Xi's shoulder, "I heard that you are injured, take care of your injuries here, just treat this place as your home, don't be polite, let's go over first, you go back to your room early to rest, if you have something, just trouble me." β
"Thank you, ma'am." Luo Zhiqiu is both left and right, enthusiastic about everyone, and will reach out to you at critical moments, with this kind of sleek ability to observe words and colors, it is no wonder that he can take care of the internal affairs of the Ji family.
After Luo Zhiqiu and Lola left, Mu Xi went back to the room, took a shower and sat on the sofa on the balcony looking out the window at the garden and the woods beyond, the dark garden and woods were like the past of the Ji family and Ji Qijun, many things, including the man she loved deeply, she didn't know anything.
Mu Xi took off the bracelet on his wrist, leaned on the armrest of the sofa and looked at the silver bracelet that seemed to have a layer of luster under the moonlight, his eyes gradually fell into deep thought, and he was swept away by tiredness in deep thought, and finally fell asleep a little bit.
The maids who were having a meeting in the living room were shocked when they saw Ji Qijun coming back, only Lola knew that Mr. Ji appeared here for the woman in the second bedroom.
"Mr. Ji is good." The servants bowed their heads in greeting.
After Ji Qijun passed through the crowd, he met Luo Zhiqiu, who was presiding over the internal affairs meeting.
Luo Zhiqiu looked at Ji Qijun with a smile on his face, "Do you want to stay overnight tonight?" I asked people to tidy up the master bedroom. β
His family Ji was anxious to see Miss Mu and Young Master Bao, and it was estimated that they didn't have time to talk to Luo Zhiqiu, so Fei Yixing stepped forward to reply for Ji Qijun, "Madam, I'll deal with it, you can continue the meeting." β
"Then I'm bothering you." Ji Qijun didn't stop to talk to her, Luo Zhiqiu had long been used to this kind of scene, Luo Zhiqiu nodded, put his hand on Fei Yixing's shoulder and patted it gently, "Then you will take care of Mr. Ji, tomorrow breakfast will be half past seven, and the breakfast menu will be sent to Mr. Ji for a while." β
Fei Yixing glanced at the people who walked away, retracted his eyes, and swept his gaze over the neatly arranged servants in the living room as he spoke, "It's okay to dock with me, Mr. Ji has been busy for a day, and he doesn't want anyone to disturb him, no one can step into the master area on the second floor tonight, and call me if there is anything." β
