Chapter 41: What Tricks to Play?
The headache struck suddenly, and Xingyue threw away the phone in her hand suddenly.
Holding his head and tormented by severe pain, he curled up in pain.
The photo of the burned car on the news flashed in her mind, and she only felt a sense of suffocation hit her.
Finding that something was wrong with Xingyue, Xiaoshan looked at her with big eyes and unblinking, and whined in his mouth, as if to ask her if she was uncomfortable?
Xingyue hugged Xiaoshan tightly in her arms, and this feeling of relying on made her less afraid.
Gradually, her body unfolded into a ball, and she lay on the soft bed with Xiaoshan in her arms, staring at the ceiling with her eyes scattered.
Xiaoshan licked the back of her hand and leaned into her arms with peace of mind.
"What's wrong with me?"
Staring at the ceiling, Xingyue muttered to herself.
"What the hell is that feeling of fear?"
"Is it because of the fire?"
Xingyue remembered the nightmare of fire that had tormented her a few months ago, and hurriedly closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to soothe the fear that hit her heart again.
The brain that has lost its memory is as empty as if it had been wiped out of the computer's memory.
Xingyue couldn't find any clue at all.
At this moment, the mobile phone that she threw far away on the carpet rang.
She picked up her mobile phone and saw that it was Mu Lingyan's call.
"Oops! Did he find out that I was rummaging through his papers?! β
Xingyue has a kind of panic about being caught as a thief.
Especially now that Mu Lingyan's image has become a demon with fangs in Xingyue's heart.
After thinking about the phone in her hand for a long time, Xingyue didn't have the courage to press the answer button.
Until the bell stopped, she secretly breathed a long sigh of relief.
But within two seconds, the phone rang again, and it was him!
Mu Lingyan! β¨Xingyue only felt that the mobile phone in her hand had become a hot yam, and it was not to throw it away, nor was it to answer it!
This time the phone didn't ring for long, and it was hung up after a few rings.
Xingyue held the phone and didn't move, just looked at it like that.
"He's not going to call again, is he?"
Soon, the movement of the mobile phone gave Xingyue an answer.
Several text messages swooped into the phone, and the SMS prompt tone rang non-stop.
Sure enough, it's still Mu Lingyan!
"Answer the phone!"
"Do you think you can escape without answering the phone?"
"Mu Xingyue, are you fat or itchy?"
"If you don't answer the phone, I'll go to your place to find you in person!"
ββ¦β¦β
The text messages kept coming in, and when the last SMS tone just fell, a phone call came in immediately.
Still, it's still Mu Lingyan!
Like a defeated rooster, Xingyue sighed hurriedly and picked up the phone.
"Hey..."
"Mu Xingyue, you finally answered the phone?"
"Mu Lingyan, what the hell is going on with you?"
Xingyue tried her best to maintain her usual attitude, and spoke to Mu Lingyan in a tone as normal as possible.
Her mind unconsciously flashed back to the image of a cruise ship in Seattle.
The sea breeze blew through Mu Lingyan's hair, and he held a plastic coffee cup that was extremely incommensurate with his identity, patiently watching her take pictures.
Mu Lingyan, please, don't be a bad person.
Xingyue thought silently in her heart.
But Mu Lingyan's next sentence completely blinded her.
"What? If you don't answer my phone, is it because you have a weak heart? You thief. β
"What thief?" Xingyue was puzzled, "What did I steal?" β
"There's no need to pretend to be innocent," Mu Lingyan said in a cold tone on the other end of the phone.
"Saying that I am a thief and bothering your president to give evidence, otherwise it is slander." Xingyue reacted and immediately became angry again.
This man is simply unreasonable, thinking that if he has money, he can trample on the dignity of others at will?
Even if I die poor, I won't take you a penny!
Xingyue shouted this sentence angrily in her heart.
But in the next second, as soon as I looked up, I saw all kinds of supplies now placed in my originally empty room.
β¦β¦
I'll convert all these things into money, and I'll give you all of them sooner or later!!
Xingyue's teeth rattled in anger.
ββ¦β¦ Star...... Miss Xingyue......"
On the other end of the phone, the person who spoke had been replaced by Ted.
"Ted, what is that guy up to? Why do you say I'm stealing? β
Now that he has changed people, when he is not facing Mu Lingyan, Xingyue slowed down his tone and tone again.
Ted cleared his throat in embarrassment: "Miss Xingyue, do you have anything extra in the backpack you used today?" β
"Of course not! The backpack is full of toys and food from the hills! Xingyue is very sure.
"Are you sure?" Ted asked her tentatively again, cautiously, for fear that what he said would upset Xingyue.
Xingyue said into the phone, "100% sure, I haven't touched Xiaoshan's things today", while pulling the backpack on the side and flipping through it confidently.
It's not that I'm looking for the "extra things", it's all because I'm very sure that there will never be anything in the bag that shouldn't be there, and I subconsciously want to reaffirm my actions.
"You...... Look for it again. Ted's voice was lowered.
"I really don't, I'll just say ......"
Affirmatively the words are stuck.
Xingyue stared incredulously at a crystal rabbit she was dragging in her hand.
"Miss Xingyue?"
The abrupt stop made Tyde on the other end of the phone shout Xingyue a few times.
After not getting back, Ted should have guessed something, and said, "Miss Xingyue, if you find it, please send it to the company and the boss office tomorrow." β
"......" Xingyue hadn't reacted yet.
"Really, you better send it. Otherwise, the boss will really call the police. β
After saying this, Ted still didn't get a reply from Xingyue, and after finally giving another instruction, he hung up the phone.
In the midst of the beep, Xingyue was still studying the crystal rabbit in her hand.
"How did you get to my bag?"
She couldn't figure it out.
"This bag is placed in the bedroom on the second floor where I used to live, so no one will go in casually. And after I knocked over the document and was discovered by Mu Lingyan, I immediately ran out of the study, took my bag and left. This happened so suddenly, no one would have known in advance, and no one had seen anyone sneak into my bag..."
Xing Yue recalled what happened today, and carefully figured out how Mu Lingyan turned this rabbit into her bag.
But no matter how suspicious he is, Mu Lingyan, who is the most suspected, does not have any "time to commit the crime".
If Ted said first, Mu Lingyan would call the police, Xingyue bit her lip.
"There's a chance that guy will actually call the police. More is better than less, let's send him back tomorrow. β
***
At the same time, in the Mu Mansion Villa.
Mu Lingyan behind the desk looked at a book spread out in front of him.
Ted and Tang Xinhang were chatting on the side.
"Tang Shao, how do you know that there is a young master's crystal rabbit in Miss Xingyue's bag?"
Facing Ted's sincere inquiry, Tang Xinhang smiled: "How smart am I." I found out that the secret that your boss wanted to hide was discovered by his little pepper, my good buddy, of course I have to help him! β
"You put it!? However, what kind of help is it to slander her for stealing things? Ted shook his head, not understanding what Tang Xinhang meant.
Tang Xinhang said patiently: "Do you think, that girl discovered Mu Lingyan's secret, and was caught by Mu Lingyan on the spot, if it was you, what was your first reaction?" β
"Run!" Ted is categorical.
Just kidding, what I found was the secret of the boss, and if I didn't escape, I was afraid that there was only one way out.
Tang Xinhang couldn't help laughing: "That's right! That girl must have reacted the same way you did! But what about after you escape? She will definitely think crankily and make up a lot of plots in her brain, and then this misunderstanding will get bigger and bigger, and finally become a knot between the two. β
"Can we explain it to her, then?" Ted still didn't get it.
"Stupid! Ted, you've been getting stupid lately! Tang Xinhang knocked on Tyde's head, and behind the table, Mu Lingyan swept over coldly.
"She already has a preconceived belief in what she sees, and she won't believe it if you explain it, she will only think that you are deceiving her."
"Then why did you use the trick of stealing things to let her come to the company to return things?"
"People are suspicious of what they are being told directly. But if so, what about overheard? β
Tang Xinhang smiled mysteriously at Ted.
The smile was a little scary, and Ted reflexively withdrew his body.
Mu Lingyan snapped the book shut.
"Tang Shao, you really have a lot of good ideas." Ted praised.
Tang Xinhang drank coffee and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Fortunately, Xingyue is an ignorant stupid girl." β
Mu Lingyan, who didn't know when he walked to Tang Xinhang's side, completely ignored that Tang Xinhang was drinking coffee, and snatched the coffee cup in his hand!
The dark brown coffee liquid spilled out at once, pouring coffee stains all over Tang Xinhang's face!
"The price of this good idea is to turn me into a cautious capitalist and creditor who slanders her for stealing?!"
was splashed with coffee, and an angry flame instantly rose in Tang Xinhang's heart.
But thinking that he had indeed let Mu Lingyan stage a villain in front of Xiao Xingyue, he couldn't get angry.
Wiping the coffee off his face, and then looking down at the coffee on his body, Tang Xinhang wanted to cry without tears and helplessly raised his hand to beg for mercy: "Big brother, I was wrong!" Not again next time, won't you? β
Mu Lingyan tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful and smug smile.
Immediately, Tang Xinhang, who had a good heart, immediately knew Mu Lingyan's purpose.
"You're not angry, are you? I thought you were angry...... It turns out that you are deliberately looking at my jokes! β
"Don't you pride yourself on being meticulous and quick-witted, why didn't you even notice it?"
Mu Lingyan succeeded in teasing Tang Xinhang, the corners of his mouth smirked, and he left the study in a good mood.
Looking at the coffee stains on his body that couldn't be wiped off at all, Tang Xinhang wanted to cry without tears: "Beasts! Mu Lingyan, you pay me for my clothesββ! β
***
RK Group Building.
This is the first time Xingyue has come to Mu Lingyan's company.
In the hall on the first floor of the building, white-collar workers in professional attire are constantly flowing, and everyone looks very busy, but very capable.
Xingyue, who was wearing casual clothes, was a little uncomfortable touching the rabbit in her backpack, a little puzzled.
"Returning his things, you can return them even if you go to the villa, why, do you have to choose to be in the company?"
