Chapter 120: Difficult
At this time, Mu Xichen was standing on the terrace at the end of the corridor to answer the phone.
The lighting on the terrace was a little dim, reflecting his slender figure with dignity and elegance, but with a little more ...... Bleak.
I haven't seen him for days.
She couldn't help but stand there and look at her a few more times, until he turned around after the call and saw her at a glance.
Shen Xin didn't have time to escape, so he had to step towards him generously.
"Mr. Mu, long time no see."
Mu Xichen looked at her and calmly spit out: "It's not a long time. ”
“……”
She coughed dryly and asked, "Why is Mr. Mu here?" ”
"With friends."
"Mr. Mu still has friends?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Xichen raised his eyebrows.
"Well, I mean Mr. Mu has only been back to China for half a year, and he is so cold on weekdays, it shouldn't be so easy to make friends."
"Am I that difficult to get along with?"
"What if I say...... It's really a bit difficult, will Mr. Mu be angry? ”
Mu Xichen glanced away: "It's not the first time you've said this. ”
Shen Xin thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he had indeed said it before.
So his tone changed: "But although Mr. Mu's temper is a little uncertain, he is still very good." ”
Is this a commendation meeting?
"It's not."
Shen Xin shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. Mu can do his best to save Young Master Mu regardless of his previous suspicions, which is quite appreciative and admired." ”
Mu Xichen glanced at her, then turned to face the night view outside the terrace.
Shen Xin didn't see the gloom that flashed in his eyes.
"But I'm a little curious why Mr. Mu asked him."
Shen Xin walked to his side and stood still, looking at his Gangyi side face: "After all, after Master Mu recovers from his illness, your position in the Mu Group may not be guaranteed." ”
"You know a lot."
With a click, he took out a cigarette and lit one.
The misty smoke blurred his already elusive eyes even more mysterious.
"Because Aunt Ya is very worried about you, and she is very afraid that you will be kicked out of the Mu Group by Old Madam Mu."
Mu Xichen nodded in understanding.
Shen Xin saw that he didn't want to say much, so he said to him, "I'll go find my friend first." ”
She turned away.
Behind him, a man's hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "Are you gone?" ”
She looked back puzzled: "Mr. Mu still has something?" ”
"Didn't you say I had no friends? Don't talk to me? ”
"......," she was surprised.
"I don't think Mr. Mu wants to talk about it, so I ......"
"Don't you want to know why I saved Master Mu? Sit with me, I'll tell you. ”
Shen Xin heard him say this, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over a rattan chair and sat down.
Mu Xichen sat down elegantly on another chair next to her table and snuffed out the cigarette between her fingers in the ashtray.
Shen Xin looked at the gloom in his eyes and said, "Actually, I don't have to know, Mr. Mu doesn't want to say it, so don't say it." ”
It's not that Mu Xichen doesn't want to say it.
It's just that I'm not used to expressing my emotions to others, and I'm not used to talking about my private affairs to others.
He silently played with the wine glass that the waiter had just brought him, and his slender fingers were particularly beautiful reflected by the amber liquid, like jade pipes.
Shen Xin coughed dryly and reminded, "Mr. Mu, drink less foreign wine." ”
Mu Xichen spit out a sentence faintly: "I don't know if you have noticed, Mu Jinnian's right leg has a scar more than ten centimeters long." ”
Shen Xin didn't follow his train of thought for a while.
After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head: "I didn't pay attention." ”
This acupuncture is basically performed on the upper body.
"What's wrong with the scar?" She asked.
"His scar was left when he was 12 years old when he broke his leg when he was fighting to protect me."
Mu Xichen was still playing with the wine in the cup, and his tone was very light: "For more than ten years, he has been walking on crutches, and he has been ridiculed behind his back for being a lame. But he didn't seem to mind, and he didn't resent me, but the elders of the Mu family hated me so much, thinking that I had harmed him like this. ”
"In fact, it was indeed me who did it." He finally raised the wine in his hand and took a sip.
Shen Xin finally gradually understood.
"Why did Young Master Mu help you in the first place? You two have a good relationship. ”
"Well, he said he wanted a brother, but I didn't want a brother." Mu Xichen laughed self-deprecatingly: "Because I never believe in people's hearts, let alone human nature, I don't like to be given alms, but I have always been forced to accept alms." ”
"What do you mean by forced almsgiving?"
"For example, because my surname is Mu, I can have no family, no freedom. But I can't dress too poorly and live too poorly, because that would ruin the reputation of the Mu family. ”
Shen Xin nodded: "I finally understand why when I was wearing the identity of Mrs. Mu, Mr. Mu always asked me to pay attention to the image, it turned out to be a family tradition!" ”
Mu Xichen hooked his lips and sneered.
"I don't seem to force you to live in a luxury house, drive a luxury car, and wear a famous brand."
"It seems that Mr. Mu won't even lend me 50,000 yuan."
Mu Xichen looked at her sideways, and only spit out a sentence after a while: "Don't hold grudges so much, otherwise you will be unhappy like me." ”
After a pause, he added bitterly: "Of course, your relationship with me is different from my relationship with the Mu family, as soon as the divorce certificate is obtained, we will have nothing to do with each other, and we don't have to care about each other's feelings." ”
Shen Xin looked at his increasingly dim eyes.
changed his words: "Let's go back to Master Mu, it turns out that Mr. Mu found him a doctor to repay him for breaking your leg when he was a child?" ”
"Not only did he break my leg for me, but he was also kind to me in other aspects."
"So if others say that you caused him a car accident, it's complete nonsense."
Mu Xichen was silent.
She said, "Mr. Mu, you should explain. ”
"I never cared what people thought of me."
"It is precisely because you don't explain that Old Madam Mu hates you so much, and never forgets to remind you to return the position to Young Master Mu."
"Do you think she'll like me if I didn't cause the accident?" He silently raised his wine glass and took a sip: "When you don't like someone, no matter what the other person does, you don't like it." ”
Shen Xin couldn't agree with his statement.
But he couldn't think of a suitable reason to change his mind.
You can see that he is quite injured.
It was even the first time she had seen in him a sense of brokenness that shouldn't have been.
"Mr. Mu, the ...... Drink less. ”
She reached out for the cup in his hand.
The fingers holding the cup were suddenly wrapped in his big palm.
The warm touch made her unconsciously stunned, and she raised her eyes, and her gaze just collided into the man's deep eyes......
