Chapter 283: No One Can Tell
After learning of Yu Qiang's concerns, Mu Zhuoyao asked him directly: "Say, how much money do you owe?" β
Faced with the question raised by Mu Zhuoyao, Yu Qiang frowned and hesitated for a long time, before he said frankly: "180,000!" β
After learning the specific figures, Mu Zhuoyao made a decisive commitment.
"I'll pay back the 180,000 for you, you just have to promise me and do what I say."
Such a good thing is very rare for Yu Qiang!
Naturally, he readily agreed.
The truth of the matter back then, Mu Zhuoyao's psychology was always a little eyebrow-raising.
It is certain that there must have been something else hidden in the counterfeit drug case back then.
Otherwise, Ruan Manjun would not have bought Yu Qiang to make up such a lie to stimulate Yan Huaijing and send her to prison by despicable means.
For the first time, Mu Zhuoyao took the initiative to invite Ruan Manjun to dinner.
Sitting in the private room, Mu Zhuoyao's face was cold.
What lingers in my mind are the words that Yu Qiang said, as well as the memories of that little girl as a child.
is so intertwined and overlapped, but he has never been able to compare the current Ruan Manjun with the little girl back then.
After a long wait, Ruan Manjun finally walked into the private room with a smile on his face.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
Hearing Ruan Manjun like this, Mu Zhuoyao frowned slightly, and there was a little more alienation in his tone, and said perfunctorily to Ruan Manjun: "No, sit down!" β
Ruan Manjun just sensed at a glance that there was something a little wrong with Mu Zhuoyao today.
But the excitement quickly replaced the uneasiness in Ruan Manjun's heart.
After sitting down, he waved to the waiter in the private room and asked the waiter for the menu.
"Dishes, I've ordered them all!"
Mu Zhuoyao did this, and Ruan Manjun suddenly became embarrassed.
looked at Mu Zhuoyao with a smile and said approvingly: "You are still as careful as before, and you always prepare everything for me." β
Mu Zhuoyao was not very interested in what Ruan Manjun said.
Giving the waiter a look, the waiter opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for Mu Zhuoyao and Ruan Manjun successively.
The atmosphere today is so romantic and harmonious.
Ruan Manjun inevitably felt a little more emotion in his heart, elegantly held the goblet, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since we've sat together and drank like this, Zhuo Yao, I really miss my previous life, it's so beautiful, we ......"
Just as Ruan Manjun wanted to ask if they could still meet the past, Mu Zhuoyao opened his mouth at this moment.
Raising his cold eyes, he asked Ruan Manjun calmly: "Some things, once you miss it, you miss it, and there is no possibility of returning to the beginning, the beauty of the past is indeed very nostalgic, but it is the past after all......
A few short sentences undoubtedly sent Ruan Manjun to hell.
There is a little loss in his eyes, but he still doesn't want to spoil the atmosphere of today's meal.
Far-fetched squeezed out a smile, looked directly at Mu Zhuoyao in front of him, and said lightly: "Maybe, but sometimes people are so ridiculous, knowing that this thing doesn't belong to you, but you still want to desperately grab it, just for the last little possibility." Zhuo Yao, just like you, I know that you are married, but I just can't let it go! β
I can't put down the last sentence, it sounds so bitter.
But Mu Zhuoyao really didn't mean to take it to heart.
After the meals were served, he took the initiative to serve dishes for Ruan Manjun for the first time.
finally made Ruan Manjun let go of the guard in his heart.
Ruan Manjun's heart was full of joy at this time, and he mistakenly thought that Mu Zhuoyao had changed his mind.
But thinking of what Mu Zhuoyao said before, he felt that it was unlikely!
"Manjun, do you remember the scene when we first met?"
A brief inquiry, but Ruan Manjun's heart was moved.
His eyes widened, his emotions were particularly excited, and he said to Mu Zhuoyao quite excitedly: "Remember, of course I remember!" β
A happy smile spread across her cheeks.
Completely intoxicated with their own memories.
"We met at a banquet, and you were so handsome at that time! I never thought that you would suddenly take the initiative to find me? After all, at that time, you felt so high. β
Hearing Ruan Manjun say this, the coldness in Mu Zhuoyao's eyes deepened a little.
His fists were obviously clenched, and he lowered his voice and took the initiative to ask Ruan Manjun: "Shouldn't it be the time of the orphanage?" β
Being questioned by Mu Zhuoyao like this, the smile on Ruan Manjun's face froze significantly.
Then, he made a perfunctory remark to Mu Zhuoyao: "Yes, when it was the orphanage, I gave you a bread at that time, but it was a long time ago, and I almost forgot it." β
Ruan Manjun said this, Mu Zhuoyao's mood did not ease.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Zhuoyao looked for some other topics seemingly at random.
The main thing is to let Ruan Manjun let his guard down.
Afterwards, after Ruan Manjun completely relaxed her vigilance, she hesitated for a few seconds, took out the hairpin from her pocket, and put it directly in front of Ruan Manjun.
Staring at the childish-looking hairpin on the table, Ruan Manjun held it in his hand full of doubts.
After looking at it carefully, he asked Mu Zhuoyao with a smile: "Is this a hairpin?" It looks so naΓ―ve, as if it was a child on his head. β
Ruan Manjun's short sentence made Mu Zhuoyao sure that Ruan Manjun was not the little girl back then.
Although the little girl was not very old when they first met, she should have some impression of her own things.
But Ruan Manjun's reaction and what she said didn't seem to have an impression of this hairpin at all.
In this regard, Mu Zhuoyao was disappointed.
However, it is precisely because of this discovery that he has a different idea about Ruan Manjun.
Noticing that Mu Zhuoyao's face was a little ugly, Ruan Manjun lowered his head and looked at the hairpin in his hand.
Vaguely aware that this hairpin must be extraordinary for Mu Zhuoyao.
She was smart, and then she reacted, her eyes widened, and she looked at Mu Zhuoyao in front of her.
Full of anxiety, he said, "I remember, this is my old hairpin." β
Hearing Ruan Manjun say this, Mu Zhuoyao's eyes were obviously cold.
With wide eyes, he glared at Ruan Manjun in front of him, and asked quite seriously: "Your hairpin?" This is obviously something I just picked up, I picked it up in the orphanage before, and I was thinking about which child would drop it, but I didn't expect Miss Ruan to bring such a childish thing! β
Mu Zhuoyao's answer undoubtedly slapped Ruan Manjun's face hard.
Ruan Manjun looked embarrassed and looked at the hairpin that was taken back by Mu Zhuoyao.
