Chapter 17: The Shadows

Some people do things, and no one can figure out what they want to do.

When Mu Ziqian thought of this Shura field, she didn't actually think much about the related sequelae, and she didn't think that there was anything worth considering about the sequelae of this Shura field.

Everyone is an adult, and they have their own plans for eating, drinking, and having fun, so even if Xiao Yunli received a call, he didn't think much about it.

Xiao Yunli has always maintained a calm appearance, listening to the scolding female voice on the other side of the phone, but in a blink of an eye, he smiled at Mu Ziqian, who knew nothing, as if nothing had happened.

Mu Ziqian was a little embarrassed that he looked elsewhere when he answered the phone, but he couldn't help but feel a little sweet.

She coughed lightly, picked up the wine glass and gently blocked her lips, and her eyes turned from looking directly at each other to lowering her eyes, as if she was embarrassed, pitiful and cute.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunli smiled gently and said to her, "It seems that I am going to start dealing with something here." ”

Mu Ziqian was stunned for a moment, instantly understood the meaning of his words, raised her eyebrows a little unknowingly, and snorted: "Then you can go, I'll go home by myself later." ”

As if he hadn't expected this, Xiao Yunli was also slightly stunned, he frowned in distress, and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”

Mu Ziqian was just joking, she didn't expect to receive such a formal apology, she also frowned, and glanced at Xiao Yunli strangely, but unfortunately his expression was complete at this time.

Mu Ziqian sensed some broken emotions hidden under the perfect mask, but looking at Xiao Yunli's appearance, she couldn't bear to reveal it.

She was silent for a while, then nodded, picked up her bag and turned to leave, leaving a message by the way: "If you need help, you can contact me." ”

Xiao Yunli stiffly felt the pity from the girl he had a crush on, and his brain was a little unable to function.

All reactions were driven by the body's instincts, and his soul seemed to have been separated from the body, and when he heard Mu Ziqian's words, Xiao Yunli heard the sentence from thousands of screams: "Dreaming." ”

He was sadly and lucid back into that nightmare, he thought he could escape, but there was nothing he could do.

Even, he himself almost forgot the nightmare, but the source of the nightmare would not let him go so easily, Xiao Yunli's expression was unwavering, but his heart had already turned over.

And in this regard, Mu Ziqian, who thought that she had been driven away, knew nothing, she just vaguely felt weird.

The eccentricity did not prevent Xiao Yunli from falling into work, she blinked, and didn't care about Xiao Yunli's student days, which were rarely described in the information...... It is said that the mother who recuperated in a mental hospital.

After all, now they are actually just two mature adults with a one-night stand, and they can fully afford to pay their own responsibilities.

She has no enmity with Xiao Yunli, so Mu Ziqian has already decided that this matter will be over, and she can't really force him to be responsible in front of others, right?

How can two adults do such a childish thing in the world, but this is only one of them.

The second is that Mu Ziqian really can't imagine that she just escaped from a fire pit, and when she turned around, she took the initiative to jump into another fire pit.

She sighed softly, sealing some emotions back in her heart that shouldn't have been.

A man may have good things, but Mu Ziqian feels that at least now she shouldn't touch this man, even if he is a good man, but she already has post-traumatic sequelae.

Speaking of this, both parties couldn't help but sigh, but on Xiao Yunli's side, there were obviously more troublemakers.

Soon after Mu Ziqian left, Xiao Yunli watched her back disappear completely, the smile on her face could no longer be supported, and she sawed into a broken mask inch by inch, and said coldly to the other end with heavy eyes: "Don't cry, I'll go back tomorrow." ”

It's just a pity that the one standing next to the mother who was crying uncontrollably was not the one who would let Xiao Yunli go.

So Xiao Yunli had no choice.

So Xiao Zhijie was so excited that he was about to go crazy.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he looked down on himself as the illegitimate son of the family who was many years older since he was a child, but since he was a child, he had excellent grades, and he was an honor student praised by all teachers.

Xiao Zhijie, who was pressed everywhere, did not expect that one day he would be able to get support from the ethical and moral aspects.

He stood aside, watching Xiao Yunli's mother's painful screams and questions, the corners of his lips couldn't help but bring a deeper, irrefutable smile, and there was only one thought in his heart.

"Xiao Yunli, you can't rob me this time, right?"

He poked out the news of Xiao Yunli's dating with Mu Ziqian, at this time, there were actually people in the family who didn't even know that they were divorced, so Xiao Yunli suddenly became the target of public criticism.

He was irrefutable, especially when his mother asked him if he was with his niece and daughter-in-law, he could only nod.

Only in this way will be met with more intense anger from the mother, who blames her child in fierce terms, and asks him why he has done such an immoral and unjustified thing.

This kind of reprimand never stopped from the time he picked up the phone until he returned to City B, thousands of miles away, the next day.

Xiao Yunli lowered his head, helpless to bear it.

Mu Ziqian didn't know the inside story, after all, Xiao Teng International was not docking with Xiao Yunli, she was now transferring the blame to another person, for example, Gu Xiaoman.

Gu Xiaoman's relationship with her may have to start from the first day she met Xiao Zhijie.

But in fact, the reason is quite simple, there is nothing else to say except jealousy, and there is also a kind of hatred of the concubine for the wife? Mu Ziqian couldn't tell the difference, but she had already summarized the two as one.

The Gu family and the Xiao family have always been neighbors, even if the Xiao family is developed now, the Gu family has always been a vampire next to them.

Of course, the Xiao family, who was attached, didn't feel it at all, they naturally enjoyed the Gu family's compliments to them, and there would be a meaning of indicating him as a courtier family.

This is still in the case that the family is not yet developed, and Gu Xiaomei, who doesn't feel that her family is weak, of course has thoughts.

But at this time, Mu Ziqian and Xiao Zhijie didn't expect to go together, especially Mu Ziqian.

She also thought that the Gu family had reached a consensus on the answer, and fully supported the possible heir of the Xiao family, that is, Xiao Zhijie.

Xiao Zhijie's project is a steady promoter, and according to Mu Ziqian's previous requirements, the project team reported step by step.

I didn't notice anything unusual, and Xiao Zhijie even thought that this was the project process of a large company.
