Li Ni looked at Nianmu, then at Mu Shaoling, her heart was full of inquiry, and even the sumptuous hot pot couldn't arouse her interest.
All she could think about was, if Nian Mu and Mu Shaoling really had an affair, what would Ruan Bai do?
Li Ni's heart is full of entanglements, and the hot pot she was looking forward to has become unsavory.
After eating in a daze, Nianmu looked at the few side dishes left, and sighed silently in her heart. Fortunately, she prepared more, otherwise, it would be embarrassing.
Seeing that it was almost time for Group T to go to work in the afternoon, she stood up and took the initiative to clean up the dining table.
Li Ni sat there, looking at Mu Shaoling.
He didn't help Nianmu. Looking at it this way, it seemed that he was here to enjoy the hot pot, which is not what the host should do.
But she wasn't sure yet.
Mu Shaoling knew what Li Ni was thinking, glanced at the time, stood up and said, "It's almost time, I'll go back to work first."
His words were like a husband reporting to his wife. Nianmu felt a little strange, but he was sure that the words were addressed to himself, so he nodded and walked into the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks.
Mu Shaoling stood up and wanted to leave.
Li Ni also stood up, followed behind him, and left one after the other.
She gently closed the door without locking it, in order not to let Nian Mu hear their conversation.
"Mu Shaoling, I have something to ask you." Li Ni no longer called him Boss Mu politely this time, after all, in her heart, Mu Shaoling is now a man who is sorry for her best friend.
Mu Shaoling stood there, turned around, and looked at Li Ni, "What's the matter?"
With a light tone, it seemed that everything he did was normal, and he knew nothing wrong.
Li Ni snorted coldly and said, "How do you know the combination lock of this house?"
"It's always been this combination lock." Mu Shaoling said, knowing what she wanted to know, when she asked, he answered.
Li Ni was stunned, answering so frankly?
She asked again: "Is the clothes hanging on the balcony yours?"
"The men's clothes are mine." Mu Shaoling continued.
Li Ni took a deep breath, under what circumstances would a man's clothes appear in a woman's apartment? The answer is that the two are living together.
She clenched her fists and asked, "You treat Xiaobai like this? Does she know what you did?"
"So what if you know? So what if you don't know?" Mu Shaoling asked back.
Li Ni is now certain that Ruan Bai's going abroad was not voluntary. It was 100% because Mu Shaoling despised her, so he sent her abroad. Known by Ruan Bai.
She felt sorry for Ruan Bai from the bottom of her heart, "Mu Shaoling, you are really not human, it's not fair at all to treat Xiaobai like this."
"Li Ni, you are so naive." Mu Shaoling watched Li Ni eager to stand up for Ruan Bai, and shook his head, "You don't know anything, so don't say such things, and your own Don't meddle in other people's business before the matter is resolved, not to mention, you are eating the hot pot that Nian Mu prepared for you, is that what you want to say? Do you consider her a friend?"
Li Ni was stunned. Of course she thought Nian Mu was a friend, but when she thought of Nian Mu and Mu Shaoling together, she couldn't help it, and said, "It doesn't matter if I treat Nian Mu as a friend or not. For your betrayal of Xiaobai, I didn't expect that she would choose such a heartless person like you."
"You regard Nian Mu as a good friend from the bottom of your heart, so you shouldn't say such things. You have decided that I am a heartless person, so what is Nian Mu?" Mu Shaoling pressed the elevator, not intending to continue entangled with her on this topic.
For a woman who can't even control her own emotional affairs, if she talks too much, she will be confused.
Li Ni took a deep breath, a little guilty, yes, she regarded Ruan Bai as a friend, and naturally, she also regarded Nian Mu as a friend.
But the man in front of her made her doubt whether her friendship was sincere.
Could it be that her friendship with Nianmu is not sincere? The current proximity is purely because she can be a safe haven when she is helpless and has nowhere to go?
The reason to associate with Nianmu is because she is used as a tool?
Li Ni quickly denied this idea, she was sincere with Nianmu.
But Ruan Bai...
When the elevator arrived at the floor, Mu Shaoling pressed it to prevent the elevator door from closing. He said, "When you don't know who you really regard as your friend, or even the ins and outs of the whole thing, don't treat others casually." To criticize, you don't know many things, not only my side, but also your own side, Li Ni, as a human being, you can't just avoid it blindly, and you can't be too confused."
After speaking, he walked into the elevator.
Li Ni suddenly became angry, "Who do you say is confused, I am smarter than you! Damn it!"
No matter how much she scolded, the elevator door was still closed. Looking at the numbers that kept going down, she secretly said, "I'm so mad!"
Nianmu stood at the door, listened to what they said, and sighed, Li Ni was still suspicious.
The more she wanted to avoid things, the more things she wanted to hide from her, everything was exposed by Mu Shaoling's move.
Li Ni walked in and saw Nian Mu standing behind the door, she was startled and said, "Did you hear what we said just now?"
"Well, I heard everything." Nianmu nodded, she didn't close the door, but just covered it up, so that the voice that should come in could still be heard.
Li Ni explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want Xiaobai to be sad."
Nianmu shook his head, and naturally knew what she meant, "You don't need to explain, I understand, but things are not what you imagined."
"The clothes belonged to Mu Shaoling." Li Ni said, the clothes that Mu Shaoling changed were hanging in her home, doesn't that explain everything?
"Mr. Mu's clothes are more than this one, and there are many more hanging in the closet in the nanny's room." Nianmu sighed, whether she believed it or not, she had to explain, "Now the T Group is busy with bidding, he I usually come over when I work overtime late, but I don’t sleep in the master bedroom, but in the nanny’s room. After all, if I want to go back to the old house, the journey will take nearly an hour. It’s much better, so he occasionally sleeps here, and the part-time workers will help to clean the changed clothes, which is what you see now, he changed it last night, and the babysitter’s room is also covered with quilts. It's for him to rest, and the toiletries in the public bathroom are all his, while mine are in the bathroom of the master bedroom."
Listening to her explanation, Li Ni didn't go into the nanny's room to look, but walked over and hugged Nianmu.
