August 23rd

For three days in a row, Xi Jingshu was busy with the company's affairs, and he went out early and returned late, and Mu Chuyue basically couldn't see you and him. Mu Chuyue even felt that Xi Jingshu was still angry with her, but when she sent a message to Lu Zexi to ask, Lu Zexi said that because of work, the entire company had been working all night for two days in a row to prepare a real estate project, and she would probably get off work early today.

"Hey, finally my little flower sent me a text message, but it was asking you." Lu Zexi threw his phone on the sofa, "It's finally over, do you want to consider giving me a raise?" ”

"What did Hatsuki say?" Obviously, Xi Jingshu's concern is not about the salary increase.

"Do you have a point!" Although Lu Zexi looked disgusted, he still looked at Xi Jingshu with some doubts, "You two have a conflict?" Haven't spoken in the past few days? ”

Xi Jingshu stared at the pen in his hand and didn't respond, he didn't know if Mu Chuyue was angry, but he really didn't say a few words to Mu Chuyue in the past few days.

"Huh? What day is it? Lu Zexi took out his hand and looked at the calendar.

"August 23rd, what's wrong?" Normally, when Lu Zexi asks what number it is, Xi Jingshu will think that there is something on the itinerary.

"August 23rd, boss!" Lu Zexi raised his hand in front of Xi Jingshu, and the itinerary of the day was clearly written: The birthday of the boss who lacks virtue. "No wonder my little Chuyue called to ask, it turned out to be prepared." Lu Zexi suddenly became envious, jealous and hateful.

"Hehe, Boss Lacking Virtue?" Xi Jingshu still didn't grasp the point and deliberately provoked Lu Zexi, "Then are you going on a business trip today or celebrating the birthday of the boss who lacks virtue?" ”

"Of course it's....it's my birthday!" Of course, Lu Zexi knew the "benefits" of a business trip, and hurriedly drank a sip of water and prepared to slip away: "I still have some work at hand, hurry up and finish a piece and leave." ”

After Lu Zexi went out, Xi Jingshu picked up her mobile phone and was about to make a call home, to be exact, to make a call to Mu Chuyue, she actually knew her birthday? I don't know what to prepare, but he knows very well what he expects about this matter and how happy he is when he learns about it. I felt that it was not good to ask in advance, so I still didn't call, and as soon as I put down the phone, a call came in.

Xi Jingshu happily picked it up, but it turned out to be Feng Jian, and the expression on his face returned to seriousness: "Hey? ”

Feng Jian seemed to be very happy that Xi Jingshu could answer his phone, and his speech was not very steady: "Jingshu, how are you going to celebrate your birthday today?" I've got a gift for you. ”

"I don't know yet," Xi Jingshu didn't want to say anything, but he remembered that there are so many birthdays every year, and I don't know if there will be any difference with Mu Chuyue this year, but Feng Jian is a friend after all, so he made an invitation: "You can come too, I'll go home after work." ”

Feng Jian, who had achieved her goal, hung up the phone happily, picked up the coffee on the table, and said to the boy opposite: "If you meet at Jingshu's house, just pretend not to know each other, after all, you don't want your sister to be too ugly." ”

"Heh, are you afraid that Xi Jingshu will think that you are a scheming woman." Mu Jie's face was disdainful, she knew very well the reason why Feng Jian was looking for him, although she knew that it was wrong for her to do so, but at least it was an effort to win Mu Chuyue.

Mu Chuyue learned that Xi Jingshu would come back early today, and she didn't know why she felt very happy in her heart, looking at the photo frame that had been glued in her hand, Mu Chuyue decided to apologize to Xi Jingshu tonight. It's just that she didn't know that today was Xi Jingshu's birthday.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Chuyue was preparing for the start of school in the room, when she suddenly heard the sound of the car driving in, and immediately put down the force in her hand and ran downstairs, but when she walked out of the door, she found that it was Feng Jian, who carried a lot of things, as well as a gift box, and behind her, it was her younger brother, Mu Jie.

"Mu Jie?"

"Hello, Hatsuki." Obviously, Feng Jian was very happy, and changed his previous style, "Oh, he is really your brother, I met him at the door just now, I don't think you think he is a liar at all!" ”

Although Feng Jian's words were said lightly, they deeply pierced Mu Chuyue's heart, when someone said that the two of them didn't look alike before, she would always refute a few words, but now all the rebuttals seem to be so weak.

"Sister." Mu Jie stepped forward and saw that Mu Chuyue seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently, and his eyes were full of distress.

"Come in."

In fact, before Mu Chuyue could speak, Feng Jian had already come in with something, and seeing the two sisters come in, Feng Jian said while sitting down: "It was Jing Shu who called me to come, and he said that he would go home after work." ”

Mu Chuyue didn't care too much about what she said, because Mu Jie was here, she always felt a little panicked.

"Sister, I want to talk to you." Mu Jie opened his mouth like Mu Chuyue.

Looking at Feng Jian's happy appearance, she was really a little uncomfortable in her heart, not to mention that she could wait with Feng Jian for Xi Jingshu to come back, and she was eager to go out to get some air.

"Okay, you wait for me, I'll go change my clothes."

When Mu Chuyue came out after changing her clothes, Mu Jie was already waiting outside the door, while Feng Jian began to get busy in the kitchen.

"Miss Feng, I'm out, you can do it yourself." After speaking, he and Mu Jie walked out.

Neither of them spoke, Mu Chuyue suddenly felt weird, the two of them had lived together for so many years and didn't seem to have any memories worth it. Walking like this, Mu Chuyue looked up at the sky, feeling as if she hadn't come out for a long time.

"How's it going?" Although he didn't know how to speak, Mu Jie knew the reason why he came today.

"Not good. I didn't go to work because I was sick, and I didn't know if Xi Jingshu would pay me a salary. Mu Chuyue sighed as she spoke, what should she do in the next semester.

"He's treated you like that, why do you want to marry him?" Mu Jie was inexplicably annoyed when he heard Xi Jingshu's name, "I can also make money, and I can support you." ”

Mu Chuyue turned to Mu Jie, raised her hand and slapped him: "You stinky boy, what are you going to do to support me if you don't go to college!" ”

"I said our ......." Mu Jie had already learned that Mu Chuyue knew that he was not born to his father, and he thought that he could finally chase her openly.

"Okay, Mu Jie." Mu Chuyue opened her mouth to interrupt, "I know that we are not related by blood, but this doesn't mean that we can be together!" Aside from the fact that I am married, we have been living as a sister and brother for nearly 20 years, no matter what you think, in my heart you are my own brother, this is family affection, not love, do you understand? Although you are still young, I think you still understand that if there is no love, two people will not be happy. ”

"But you and that man don't have love!"

"Hehe," Mu Chuyue smiled a little self-deprecatingly, yes, no matter what she thought in her heart, I'm afraid Xi Jingshu wouldn't be tempted by someone like her, after all, that Feng Jian is so good, "Xiaojie, everyone has their own life, and only they know if they are happy or not." As long as you are in my life for one day, I will always be your sister! ”

The two of them continued to walk forward, and Mu Jie suddenly turned around: "Sister, I think that woman seems to be more suitable to be the mistress of that house." ”

Mu Chuyue paused at her feet, didn't look up and continued to walk, she knew that Mu Jie was talking about Feng Jian: "Well, let's take a step and see a step." ”

"No matter what, I'll always protect you, sister." Mu Jie said seriously, this sister made Mu Chuyue feel a lot more relaxed, and before she could answer, her mobile phone rang: "Qi Siyu." ”
