At six o'clock in the evening, I was a little hungry, usually at this time the maid had already counted the meal, but today somehow no one came upstairs for a long time.

Just as I was calling a maid in to inquire, Sister-in-law Gui came in from outside the room and said to me, "Miss, Mr. just instructed me to go downstairs for dinner today." ”

As soon as I heard this, I put down the book in my hand and asked, "Can't you eat dinner in your own room?" ”

Sister-in-law Gui said: "Mr. specially ordered, let's go downstairs for dinner, and Mrs. is also going." ”

Hearing Sister-in-law Gui say this, I didn't speak, Wang Zhizhi has been busy going in and out these days, and Mu Jingchi is almost the only one left in the Mu house, but it is rare to eat at home, today's meal, it seems that she is getting together.

I didn't say anything after listening to it, and after a while, I said to Sister-in-law Gui again: "I know, you go down and get busy, I'll come later." ”

Sister-in-law Gui replied and withdrew from my room.

After Sister-in-law Gui went out, I continued to flip through the book there, and only after a certain time did I put the book down, got up and walked downstairs, just halfway down the stairs, Sister-in-law Gui was about to walk upstairs, as soon as she saw me coming down, she said: "Miss, Mr. has been waiting for you for a long time, why haven't you come down yet?" ”

I said, "I accidentally fell asleep in my room just now, and I didn't pay attention for a while." ”

Sister-in-law Gui naturally didn't believe me, so she pulled me and said, "The food is cold, let's go over quickly." ”

When I got there, sure enough, Mu Jingchi and Wang Zhizhi were sitting there and waiting for me for a while, and the food on the table gradually had a tendency to cool down, and the maids wanted to take the food on the table and heat it again, but when they saw me coming, they immediately stopped.

Feng'er was being held in Wang Zhizhi's arms, and said with a look of grievance that he was hungry and wanted to eat, but Wang Zhizhi held him down and did not answer, Mu Jingchi sat on the main seat, and when he saw me coming down from upstairs, he looked at me.

I said, "I just fell asleep." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't say anything, he said to me, "Let's eat, the dishes are cold." Then, he instructed the maid to bring the unserved dishes, and then I naturally picked a place to sit down, and sat directly opposite Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi was preparing food for Feng'er, Feng'er was really hungry, where did she care about the dining etiquette, and grabbed the chicken leg that Wang Zhizhi had just sandwiched in the bowl before she had time to break it and bit there.

Wang Zhizhi was about to reprimand him, but Feng'er took a step ahead of her and said: "You didn't let me eat before, but now I can eat or not, I have already finished eating at this time, and today for her alone, why do my father and mother have to sit like this!" ”

As soon as Feng'er's words came out, Mu Jingchi's hand that was about to reach out to pick up the vegetables stopped slightly, and his eyes swept over Feng'er with a slight coldness.

Wang Zhizhi didn't expect him to say something like this, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and asked in a threatening tone: "Have you forgotten how your mother usually educated you?" ”

Feng'er saw that Mu Jingchi's eyes swept him coldly just now, and he became more and more aggrieved, so he had to keep his head down.

Seeing this situation, I smiled and said to Wang Zhizhi: "I forgot that children can't stand hunger, so it's my rudeness to let Mu Renfu wait." ”

Regarding my words, Wang Zhizhi smiled very generously and said: "It's nothing, the child has to be hungry twice to have a long memory, and you are an elder, so he should wait for you." ”

I said, "So Mrs. Mu and Mr. Mu are my elders, so let you wait, shouldn't it be mine?" ”

Wang Zhizhi hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant, Qingye, don't misunderstand me like this." ”

When I was about to speak, Mu Jingchi asked on the side: "What, is this because I haven't gotten away when I wake up?" ”

When he asked like this, Sister-in-law Gui said to me with a smile behind her: "Miss, there is meatball soup today, I will serve you a bowl." ”

I said, "Well, lower my anger." ”

Sister-in-law Gui took the bowl handed by the maid and served it to me there.

Mu Jingchi saw that I finally stopped being so scathing and harsh, so he said with a little displeasure: "Let's go." ”

After that, I sat there and ate quietly, but Mu Jingchi and Wang Zhizhi chatted about some things there, and asked her how familiar she was with business matters.

Speaking of this, Wang Zhizhi's face was naturally full of energy, and she told Mu Jingchi about the situation of several banks she went to in the past few days, as well as the operation of some other department stores, as well as what she had learned, and her opinions.

Although Wang Zhizhi is an old woman, and the school she attends is also a private school, she is very talented in business, and her opinions are also very decent, which makes Mu Jingchi very satisfied.

This may be what Mu Jingchi said to him the most, at the dinner table, Mu Jingchi rarely taught her some business things, Wang Zhizhi couldn't hide the smile on his face, and he couldn't help but listen there.

The maids all stood aside with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound, and I naturally couldn't understand, and after eating two bites there, I didn't have much appetite, so I put down my chopsticks and drank the soup boringly.

Sister-in-law Gui saw that I had no sense of existence at all, so she said to Mu Jingchi on the side: "Sir, when Miss used to study abroad, she also studied business, and I think I should know a little bit about this aspect of things." ”

Sister-in-law Gui led the topic to me, and Mu Jingchi glanced at me sitting next to me, but after a long time, he said to Sister-in-law Gui: "You ask him which dance hall abroad has the strongest wine and which bureau has the best class room to squat, and she can answer you a thing or two." ”

Seeing Mu Jingchi sarcastically mocking me there, I sat there and sneered: "No, in the past few years of studying abroad, I have learned a lot of ballroom dancing, you might as well ask me how to seduce men more practically." ”

After I finished speaking, I didn't care about Mu Jingchi's face, but got up from the chair, and I said to Sister-in-law Gui: "In the past few years of studying abroad, I have long forgotten everything, how can I remember anything, Sister-in-law Gui, don't make a fool of me, I finish eating, you use it first, and I will leave first." ”

I got up from the chair, but Wang Zhizhi said at this time: "Qingye, I still don't understand a lot, and I was about to ask you, why are you eating now and going back to your room?" ”

I looked at her with a smile and asked, "What, Mrs. Mu is trying to learn from me how to seduce men?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhizhi's face instantly turned pale.

I said, "Yes, Mrs. Mu still needs to learn from me, people who are far away abroad can be easily led back by you, and I want to learn from you." ”

Wang Zhizhi's face became more and more ugly, but she didn't care about me unexpectedly, just sat there silently with her head bowed.

Sister-in-law Gui saw that Mu Jingchi's face was naturally not too good-looking, so she stopped in front of me and said to me: "Miss, let's hurry upstairs, it's not too early, you wash up and rest early." ”

Hearing Sister-in-law Gui's words, I didn't look at anyone present anymore, turned around and walked towards the outside of the restaurant.

Although Mu Jingchi's face was ugly, he didn't say anything, but said to Wang Zhizhi: "Let's eat." ”

Wang Zhizhi had no choice but to nod.

When I returned to the room, Sister-in-law Gui naturally couldn't help but count me down, and asked me what was going on downstairs just now, a good meal, and I had to say those ugly words.

I didn't answer Sister-in-law Gui, nor did I pay attention to Sister-in-law Gui, but just walked towards the bathroom.

Sister-in-law Gui came over again and said: "Miss, Mr. has been getting better in the past few days, can you bear some temper, and you see how smart Mrs. is, now that she has got everything, I wish you could suppress him and pretend to be pitiful in front of Mr., why do you still take yourself to her——"

Before Sister-in-law Gui finished speaking, I closed the bathroom door directly, shut her out, turned on the faucet again, and took a shower there.

Sister-in-law Gui was locked out of the door by me, so naturally there was no way, so she stayed for a while, and then sighed and left.

After Sister-in-law Gui's footsteps were far away, I turned off the faucet again and went straight to the bathtub with my clothes.

How can Sister-in-law Gui understand, just hold a person high, she will know how painful that pain will be when she falls, she is now the time when the spring breeze is proud, I naturally have to add icing on the cake for her.

I stared at the foam on my hands for a long time, and then sank into the bathtub.

After that, I stayed in the room for a few days, and I didn't go out of the room much, and the Mu family was rarely calm.

After Gu Huizhi's case was concluded, the Shen family hung up the white flags for three days, and after the white flags were hung, the Shen family naturally moved out of Jinling on the grounds of business changes.

On the day Shen Zishan and they left, he also sent me a letter, in which he said that if there is anything else to help with in that matter, find them as much as possible, and he also said that after they leave Jinling, they may not come back in the future, he said that now that Gu Huizhi has two children, he has long been concerned about his body and mind, so he will no longer be obsessed with her revenge, let me rest assured.

At this point in the letter, Shen Zishan seems to have stopped his pen, because there are traces of pause on the nib of the letter.

When I looked at the next line, Shen Zishan said again, Huizhi, let me say sorry to you.

When I saw those three words, I sat there for a long time without moving, and when the maid came in, I crumpled the letter in the palm of my hand, and then spread out the envelope and folded a paper airplane, which I put in my hand for a while, and then put it on the table and lit the candle, and let it be swallowed up by the flames.

That Grandma Wang was not very familiar with Gu Huizhi before, and she never thought that after Gu Huizhi asked her to deliver her second child, she actually worshipped her and became a godmother, which shows that Gu Huizhi has put a lot of effort into this Grandma Wang.

I looked at the puddle of black ash on the table, and a few smiles tugged at the corners of my mouth.

After Gu Huizhi left, it was naturally the problem of Kimura's burial, because the body was secretly transferred to Mu Jingchi's hands, so he couldn't make any noise to the outside world.

The cemetery and cemetery were all handled by Steward Sun, and they did not set the cemetery in Jinling for the sake of getting things right, but went to other provinces, so I went to other provinces in the Mu family's car that day.

It rained so hard that day, I had never seen such a heavy rain in Jinling, the whole road was submerged, the whole city was almost half submerged by that heavy rain, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road.

Our car was stuck in the middle of the road and couldn't move forward.

Halfway through, someone from Mu's side sent a letter to us not to go any further, saying that the embankment outside the city had collapsed because of the heavy rain, and it was the time of the great flood, so we should go back quickly.

I don't know who gave this order, it was Steward Sun who escorted me, so when Steward Sun said that he wanted to go back, I said to Steward Sun: "I'm not going back, I'm going to rush there." ”

Steward Sun was in a hurry, he thought I didn't know the seriousness of the situation, so he said to me: "Miss, we can't move forward outside, if we continue like this, we will all be in danger of our lives, this is the order given by the gentleman." ”

I sat there and said, "Go back, and I'll go alone." ”

Steward Sun glanced at the time on his watch, because tomorrow Kimura's corpse will be buried in the ground, if we don't go over today, we won't be able to catch up tomorrow, the corpse has been frozen in the freezer for so long, it can't be left out for too long, and it's still the time of the flood today.

Steward Sun had no choice for a while, and the person who came to deliver the letter saw that we were still not moving, so he said to Steward Sun: "Steward Sun, Mr. said that today is no matter what, no matter what, the flood over there will be more fierce at night, and we can't get through, and Mr. also said that if Miss doesn't listen, he will be tied back." ”
