Chapter 366: Silent Call
"It's a bit presumptuous to invite you so suddenly."
Looking at the person who appeared in front of him on time, Mu Wanye took out the gift box and pushed it in front of him:
"But this gift is too expensive for me. We are friends, and friendship depends on each other, not on that. ”
"It's very obvious when you say that."
Looking at the gift box that was pushed back, Xu Shuo had no surprise on his face, he raised his eyes to look at her:
"It's just to congratulate you on your birthday in advance, I think you're almost forgetting your birthday."
"Birthday?"
Mu Wan'an couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized it later.
She couldn't help but pat her head:
"If you don't say I'm going to forget, it's been too busy...... But speaking of which, I'm such an old person, and I always feel that birthdays are not as important as they used to be. ”
"Is that so? I remember when you were looking forward to your birthday. ”
A trace of guilt flashed on his face, and Xu Shuo lowered his head:
"It's all my fault, it's me who makes the decisions."
Seeing him feel so guilty, Mu Wan'an was also very unhappy in her heart, her original intention was just to return this necklace, not to let him show such an embarrassed look.
"Actually, I want to thank you...... I am still very happy that someone remembers me, but this necklace is too valuable. ”
"You and I have passed that kind of time when we are worried about food and clothing, and this necklace is nothing."
Looking at Mu Goodnight with a sincere face, Xu Shuo continued to explain her gently, and he said with a smile:
"It's a big deal, when I have a birthday, you can also send me a gift."
"That's what I said......"
As soon as she blurted out the words, Mu Wan'an felt that she seemed to be a little excessive, and she quickly changed her words:
"But also, my mind seems to have been stuck in my student days. In the future, when you celebrate your birthday, I will also give you a gift in return. ”
"And there's a reason why I chose this gift for you. Li Nian seems to be getting married soon, and I see that the invitation card stipulates that she must wear a dress. Give you a set of jewelry so you can match it. ”
originally thought that Li Nianhui would be a strong opponent, but he didn't expect him to quit so early, Xu Shuo showed a faint smile on his face, lining his warm and jade-like face, which made people feel more and more harmless.
"Did you receive an invitation too? It looks like we'll see each other again soon. ”
Mu Wan'an didn't expect the senior to send an invitation to Xu Shuo, and there was a slightly surprised expression on his face.
"yes, I was surprised, too. But when you think about it, those unpleasant things seem to have happened a long time ago. ”
Raising his glass, to hide the emotions in his eyes, Xu Shuo thought for a while and said:
"I'll see you at the wedding site."
Back in the office, Mu Wannight saw the designers who were resting gathering in twos and threes to discuss gossip, and she listened to them while catching water:
"Is there really a resurrection from the dead? It's really strange that even the children are mistaken? How could such a thing happen in such a rich person's house? ”
"It's only in the rich that this kind of thing happens, right? You don't want to think about it, we ordinary people have no money at home, who will change the children? ”
……
This situation seems to be the same as the situation of the Song family.
Mu Wan'an instinctively slowed down, she stood in the pantry with a glass of water and quietly listened to one of the high-minded conversations:
"The Chen family just fell, and Chen Xinxue came back, which is really timely. But I think the timing of her return was really accurate. You see, Chen Xinrao, who has been eyeing her all along, has been disfigured, and she is not very satisfied with her Old Man Song has been set aside, I heard that her parents didn't pay much attention to her before...... Tut-tut, the right time, place and people! ”
Now it seems that it is no secret that Chen Xinxue came back, and even Pingping has officially got his due "name".
Mu Wan'an was a little worried, she sighed, and now she doesn't know how Xiao Si is.
Seeing Mu Wanye coming out of the pantry, the group of employees were silent, and the sudden silence made her look up at them suspiciously:
"Why didn't you talk after I came out?"
"It's not ...... Isn't it time to work? ”
Several people hurriedly dispersed and returned to their seats, Mu Wannight knew something, she was a little helpless, but she didn't say anything.
When she returned to her office, she was about to contact the servants in the former villa to ask them about Xiao Si's current situation, when a phone call came in.
She looked at the number, which was deleted but unfamiliar, and hesitated, but picked it up.
When she picked up the phone, there was a long silence, and all she could hear was the sound of light breathing.
"Hello? Is there anything please? ”
waited for a long time, and finally she spoke first, this long silence was simply suffocating, and it didn't look like Song Bingjue's style.
There was a long silence there, and finally she heard only the sound of a soft tap on her phone.
After the phone was hung up, she looked at the call that lasted more than ten minutes suspiciously, "This is ......"
When she was about to get back to work, she suddenly remembered something-the voice that tapped on her phone lightly, it was obviously -
didn't have time to think about it, she quickly grabbed her phone and ran out:
Song Bingjue would never call her at this time! That kind of gently knocking sound is obviously Xiao Si!
Think about what I saw in kindergarten again...... hurriedly stopped a taxi, Mu Wannight was very anxious, and urged the driver to drive faster all the way.
finally suffered all the way to Yulong Bay, Mu Wannight looked at the closed gate, but the security guard at the door was unwilling to let her in:
"Now we have a new hostess, and we are strictly ordered not to let some indiscriminate women in. Miss Mu, you and the president of our family are already in the past, so don't embarrass us as subordinates. ”
"I didn't want to see Song Bingjue, I came here for Xiao Si. I just got a call from him and I really want to meet him now! ”
Seeing this person shaking her head, Mu Wan's peace of mind became more and more anxious, and she couldn't help but stomp her feet:
"Don't talk about anything else, Xiao Si has grown up with you, aren't you worried about him?"
"Miss Mu! You don't want to think about it, now that the Song family is still willing to continue to raise Xiao Si, it is already very kind, if you rush in again at this time, won't it make the president and Miss Chen disgusted him even more? I understand your love for Xiao Si, but ......"
Listening to the words of the security guard, Mu Wan'an gradually calmed down, and she also knew that she was indeed too inconsiderate to run over so recklessly.
But if they all came, she didn't confirm Xiao Si's safety, and she really felt relieved:
"Can you please help me get Xiao Si out? I want to see if he's okay now......"
"Alas, Miss Mu, why are you so troubled?"
Seeing that she had a posture of not leaving if she didn't see Xiao Si, the security guard had no choice, he glanced at the quiet residence not far away, shook his head and said:
"I'll help you take a look, and if Xiao Si can come out, I'll let him come over."
After waiting like this for more than ten minutes, Mu Wan's night was so sunburned that he almost fainted, only to see a tall and a short slowly walking over.
Suddenly in good spirits, Mu Wan'an came closer, looked at Xiao Si, who seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently, through the iron door, and reached out to hold his:
"Xiao Si, was that what you called me just now? Are they treating you badly? Or did Ping Ping bully you? Well? ”
Sensing that his little hand moved in his palm, Mu Wan'an looked at Xiao Si with a serious book with worried eyes, "Don't be afraid, just tell me, everything will be fine." ”
"Miss Mu, Xiao Si has not been beaten, and there is no shortage of food and clothing...... Miss Chen is just ignoring him at most, and you shouldn't worry about it. In a few years, Young Master Xiao Si will be able to be independent, and everything will be fine by then! ”
Worried that Chen Xinxue or the new young master would come to see it, the security guard looked around and persuaded bitterly:
"You've met, Xiao Si has nothing to do, you can go back quickly."
Seeing that Xiao Si refused to speak, Mu Wannight could only give up, she looked at Xiao Si standing in front of her through an iron fence with a worried face, and then said to the security guard:
"Thank you so much for today. This kind of thing is really difficult, but if there is anything wrong with Xiao Si, please tell me. ”
Saying that, Mu Wan'an was about to let Xiao Si go back, but found that he pinched the corner of his clothes at some point, and she said with surprise on her face:
"Xiao Si, you are ......"
As soon as her words fell, Chen Xinxue's unique sharp and yin and yang strange tone came from not far away:
"Yo, I thought there was a thief in the house! In broad daylight, I saw someone on the door! I didn't expect it to be our Miss Mu...... It's so interesting! ”
Unexpectedly, Chen Xinxue found out so quickly, a trace of panic crossed Mu Wan'an's face, and then immediately calmed down.
She clenched Xiao Si's hand, and looked at Chen Xinxue, who led several servants over, who was a little more arrogant than when she first saw her, surrounded by the Song family's brocade clothes and jade food:
"I've heard before that you have adopted a child before, is Miss Mu unable to have a child by herself, so is she addicted to adoption-adoption-child?"
These words were indeed harsh, but because this was on the territory of the Song family, it was indeed unreasonable, so Mu Wan'an could only endure it:
"Miss Chen, please be careful, I'm just here to visit this child. Of course, it was my fault that I didn't inform you in advance. ”
"I didn't expect that one day, I could hear Miss Mu apologize to me."
Seeing that she was soft, Chen Xinxue couldn't help but show a smug smile, and her face became more and more arrogant:
"However, a mistake is a mistake, and it cannot be made up for by simply apologizing."
