Chapter 32

Perhaps because he didn’t want to leave without any gains, Xu Mu ordered someone to investigate Lin Qingwan’s residence. After getting to the location, he drove to his destination.

Su Yunxiu’s good friend here was Lin Qingwan. With her personality, she definitely wouldn’t let her good friend stay in a hotel, so the possibility of her staying at Lin Qingwan’s house was higher.

However, when he arrived and registered at the guardhouse, he realized that he had missed again.

When Lin Qingwan heard that someone was looking for her, she put on her slippers and walked out. When she saw that it was Xu Mu, she was slightly startled. She pursed her lips, crossed her arms, and said with a fake smile, “I was wondering who it was! So it’s President Xu.”

“Miss Lin, is Xiuxiu with you? I want to talk to her,” Xu Mu said sincerely.

However, he had already waited for a long time before. Coupled with the hard knocks he faced, there was still a faint impetuousness in his eyes.

Lin Qingwan had seen Yu Wenci’s attitude towards Su Yunxiu, and now she was looking at Xu Mu. The difference between the two was obvious.

Lin Qingwan: “Xiuxiu isn’t here, President Xu should go back.”

With that, she prepared to turn around and leave.

Xu Mu panicked and reached out to grab her clothes through the gap in the iron door. “Wait!”

Lin Qingwan was displeased. She turned around and pulled the clothes out of his hands. As if they were stained with something dirty, she patted them. “What else do you have to say?”

She made a show of being all ears.

She forced herself to listen to what this self-righteous scumbag had to say.

“I want to see Xiuxiu. You must know where she is,” he said confidently.

Lin Qingwan was completely enjoying the show. She smiled and said, “You really want to know? Then beg me. Beg me and I might be able to tell you.”

Did she want him to beg?

Hesitation flashed across Xu Mu’s eyes. He was not willing to humble himself and beg others, but only Lin Qingwan would definitely know Su Yunxiu’s whereabouts. Xu Mu thought that since he was already here, he would not give up.

“Please, please tell me where Xiuxiu is.”

He never thought that such a day would come for him.

Lin Qingwan smiled playfully. “I’m sorry, I wouldn’t tell you even if you begged me. Now that you know that you can salvage the situation, what were you doing earlier?”

“I’m warning you, Xiuxiu is doing well now, don’t cause trouble.”

Xu Mu glared at her. “Are you messing with me?”

“So what if I’m messing with you? I won’t tell you where Xiuxiu is. Get lost! Don’t come here anymore.” Lin Qingwan didn’t even want to look at him for the last time. As if she felt that the blow wasn’t enough, the girl took a few steps and came back. She looked at him and said word by word, “And Xiuxiu doesn’t like roses. You’ve been together for four years and you don’t even know this. Ask yourself, are you worthy?”

Xu Mu’s body swayed and his face turned pale. He subconsciously clenched his fists.

Lin Qingwan had no time to look at his expression. No matter how ugly his expression was, it had nothing to do with her.

She wasn’t going to sympathize with this guy.

At the same time, the phone in Xu Mu’s pocket vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Song Yun.

“Hey, Yun, what’s the matter?”

“Brother Xu Mu, guess what I found out?”

“What investigation? Who did you investigate?”

“Su Yunxiu, of course”

When he heard that it was about Su Yunxiu, he was a little interested. “Why are you investigating her?”

“Don’t you want to know who the man she had dinner with last time was? I’ve found out something in the past few days.”

“What is it?” Xu Mu asked.

Of course, Song Yun wouldn’t say it so easily. She would tell him when he returned to the old residence.

Xu Mu and Tao Ping had been in a cold war for the past few days. When Song Yun suggested this idea, the man did not immediately nod in agreement. However, he could not resist the temptation and finally compromised.

When he passed the trash can, he threw the bouquet of roses in without hesitation.

Song Yun hung up and Tao Ping looked at her nervously.

The latter smiled and comforted her. “Auntie, don’t worry. Brother Xu Mu will come.”

“Really?”

Tao Ping regretted quarreling with Xu Mu. For the past few days, she had not received any replies to her messages. Today, Song Yun came over and said that she had a way to get him to go home. They would have a good chat then.

Blood ties could not be severed. It was impossible for him to not acknowledge her as his mother.

“Yes, as long as I tell him what I found out, he’ll definitely give up on Su Yunxiu.”

This time, Tao Ping was completely relieved. She patted Song Yun’s hand and said, “You have a way. Su Yunxiu isn’t a good person. Fortunately, Xu Mu separated from her.”

“You can’t judge a book by its cover. It’s not too late to recognize it now.”

“Yes.”

Xu Mu returned fifteen minutes later and Tao Ping created a space for them to be alone. The two of them chatted in the room, and no one disturbed them during this period.

Song Yun handed him the photo and told him everything he knew.

“Su Yunxiu lives in this neighborhood.”

“So?” He didn’t understand what that meant.

“Does she, a dance teacher, have the money to rent an apartment in this area? Don’t you think it’s strange? Also, that man is dressed exquisitely. One look and you can tell that he’s not an ordinary person. They definitely don’t have an ordinary relationship, so do you understand what I mean?”

Song Yun’s words probably meant that after she broke up, she immediately had a new lover. This man was even willing to buy an apartment to support her.

Such a thing was not uncommon in the circle. One was willing to beat the other, but the other was willing to suffer. However, the other party was Su Yunxiu. He would never believe it.

“The evidence is right here. If it wasn’t for that kind of relationship, Su Yunxiu wouldn’t be able to live in this neighborhood. Brother Xu Mu, don’t lie to yourself. She’s not worth your efforts to retain her, let alone arguing with Auntie over her.”

“Maybe she hooked up with that man when she was with you. That’s why she found someone else so quickly after breaking up.”

Speaking of which, it was strange that she couldn’t find out Yu Wenci’s background even after spending a long time investigating. He must be an ordinary rich second-generation heir.

After being brainwashed by Song Yun, Xu Mu’s mind was a mess. He couldn’t believe that Su Yunxiu was such a person.

She took the opportunity to pull his hand and said gently, “Brother Xu Mu, stop liking her, okay? She’s not worth it. We’re right for each other. I grew up with you. How am I not comparable to her? Or am I not good enough? Tell me, can I change?”

Toward the end, Song Yun looked like she was about to cry.

Xu Mu came back to his senses and looked at her helplessly. “Yun… can you not cry? I don’t think you’re bad.”

Song Yun’s tears fell as soon as he said that. As she cried, she felt even more aggrieved. “Then let’s give it a try, okay? Just treat it as a way to fulfill the elders’ wishes and help me, okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“My mother wants me to go on a blind date. I really don’t want to go. Brother Xu Mu, can you help me?”

Her eyes were filled with tears as she lowered her posture. Her eyes were red, and she looked like she was trying to please him.

Xu Mu couldn’t bear to see her like this. In addition, he was provoked by Song Yun’s words. He nodded and slowly said, “Okay.”
