"How would I know!"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Mo Cheng's gaze shifted from the LCD TV screen.
He had just heard from the television that Luo Xingtong had gone missing. He did know that Luo Shixun had killed Luo Dingming and escaped. However, he did not know that the three women from the Luo Family had ended up like this, especially that Luo Xintong.
For her sake, he didn't plan to touch Luo Xingtong. However, it was said that a few days ago, at Luo Shixun's funeral, a mysterious man appeared and took her away.
His cold and detached words caused Mu Ran's entire body to tremble.
"Gu Mo City, don't you know that this is a little too fake? Didn't you want to destroy the Luo Family and kill everyone?"
Gu Mo City was also furious, this woman actually didn't believe him?
"I will take responsibility for what I have done. Even if it wasn't me, I wouldn't take it on myself!"
But this didn't seem to blame her. After all, he had done so many things that made her heart tremble. Besides that, who else could she blame but him?
At the other end of the street came her loud, mocking laugh, and then some crazy curses.
"Gu Mo City, you actually sold a girl to such a place, are you even human?"
The fingers holding the phone suddenly tightened, as if she was going to crush the hard surface of the phone. Her black eyes were also instantly filled with rage. He could hear her crying and anger over the phone, so she viciously shouted at him.
"I hate you! "I hate your Gu Mo City —"
After hanging up, he slammed his phone onto the ground in anger and roared at Dragon 2 who had just entered.
"Go and find out who the man who took Loxinton is!"
Long Er was so frightened that he immediately left his office.
Ever since Luo Xintong had gone missing, she had been extremely worried about him. She kept ringing all the people who knew her, but there was no news at all. Her hatred towards that man grew deeper and deeper in her heart.
The days passed day after day of torture, but that man did not appear again. Logically speaking, he should have gone back to his luxurious country to celebrate the new year.
Because she was not in a good mental state and the weather was cold, she was knocked down by the flu a few days ago. She directly sneezed all over, her throat was so swollen that she couldn't even talk anymore.
When he knocked on the door of her little apartment on the evening of the thirtieth of the year, he was startled by the sight of her red-cheeked and unconscious, and her hot, soft body fell into his arms.
"Dammit, how did you do this to yourself!"
He rushed to the hospital with her in his arms, and she grabbed his arm and shouted weakly,
"Don't go to the hospital! Don't go to the hospital! It's really bad luck to be going to the hospital in the new year! "
Seeing the brocade, his cold face flashed with a trace of anger.
"He's already been burned to death, yet he still doesn't want to go to the hospital?"
She opened her mouth with difficulty, but the pain in her throat was so unbearable that even drinking her saliva hurt.
"Mom said that taking medicine for the new year and going to the hospital would cause you to spend the next year in a medicine jar!"
He threw two words at her,
"Preposterous!"
He picked her up and threw her into the car and went to the hospital.
Therefore, she had spent this year's Spring Festival in the hospital with a fever, accompanied by a strange man. Ever since she saw that Jin Xin had turned into a terrifying BOSS, she felt that she was a stranger to him.
Just like at this moment, when he was sitting in front of the sickbed and awkwardly placed the peeled orange in front of her, a hint of rejection flashed across her eyes, and she stood there stunned, unable to pick it up.
Seeing Jin in embarrassment, he was quite a proud and arrogant person. He had never taken care of a woman like this before, and for the first time in his life, he was rejected. He pursed his lips and tried to help her.
"Are you afraid that I'll poison you?"
"No, I didn't mean that …"
Noticing that he was a bit embarrassed, Mu Yurou accepted it with his hand that did not drip a drop. Then, he moved away and said:
"Thank you!"
She really didn't have the meaning that he had mentioned. She only felt that they weren't related in any way, and his meticulous and considerate care of her made her feel very awkward.
He didn't think much of it and said,
"You saved my life, and I saved your life today. You can say that we're even!"
"Hehe, then let's call it even!"
She smiled along with him, and the two of them instantly fell silent. He sat there and stared at her, a complicated light flashing from the bottom of his eyes.
"Why didn't you call me?"
He saw Jin take out his cell phone after glancing at her and looked at his contact list.
Mu Wenwen felt embarrassed when he remembered that he had washed off the number he had given him, so he tried to find an excuse.
"Ugh …" Afraid of disturbing your work … "
Just as she finished her sentence, her phone rang. Just as she was about to pick it up, she hung up. She was a little confused as she saw him wave his phone at her.
"That's my number. Is it gone?"
She looked at the unfamiliar number on her phone and gave a somewhat reserved smile.
"I won't …"
Then she lowered her head again to avoid his deep gaze and put his name on it.
When he finished dripping, she got off the bed. Her legs felt a little numb from sitting down for so long, and her body staggered and almost fell. He immediately reached out to support her.
She was not shy red, but embarrassed red. Being hugged so intimately by a man she had known so many times made her feel as if her whole body had grown thorns.
He didn't seem to mind at all. He just carried her out to the car and brought her to her small apartment. Once she got out of the car, she rushed up the stairs as if she didn't care if she was still weak. She didn't even remember to say goodbye.
No matter how slow she was, she could feel that this man's feelings for her were not ordinary, but she was powerless to respond to him. Her heart was currently filled to the brim with a man named Gu Mo Cheng.
A few days after the New Year, when the holidays were over and everything was back to normal, Mu Wenwen's days returned to the small apartment in the clinic. There was still no news from him, and she was already beginning to despair.
She comforted herself. That's good, that's for the best.
That day, she suddenly received a text message from an unfamiliar number. The text message said:
"Happy New Year, Miss Mu!" Since the Luo Family is gone, let's pay attention to the Mu Family together! "
The tone of the text message clearly showed that it was filled with provocation and anticipation. Her heart clenched. She did not know who sent the message, but it was definitely from someone who knew of his revenge plan.
Other than Mu Wanjing, no one else had any value in the Mu family's existence to her. She hurriedly made a call to Mu Wanjing, but she didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries as she directly went straight to the point.
"Big Sis, you and Brother-in-law have been pretty good, haven't you? Brother-in-law's company is pretty good too right? "
Mu Wanjing's voice was as gentle as always.
"We're all fine, little sister. What happened? Why are you so nervous?"
"No, nothing, I just suddenly started to miss you guys, hehe!"
He could not be bothered to touch someone as mediocre as Mu Wanjing and Song Yidao, but if he were to do so, he should be able to do the same to Mu Lingfeng and Mu Xiyan.
"If you want, you should call us often. Come over to my place for dinner when you have time."
Mu Wanjing clearly didn't expect that the cold and aloof Mu Ru Yue would suddenly say that she missed them, so she enthusiastically invited her to dinner.
After thinking for a while, Mu Wenwen agreed.
"Alright elder sister, I will definitely come over when I have time!"
The news of the Mu family's bankruptcy started to flood the news on the TV. She sat on the sofa and watched the TV for a long time. The words "Mu family's bankruptcy" stabbed her in the heart.
The Mu Family's bankruptcy meant that their marriage had come to an end. They thought that the sweetness would last forever and they could still smile and say to each other on the day of the Mu Family's bankruptcy, "Why don't we continue like this?"
However, from the looks of it now, those things could only be hopes. Perhaps the only way to free oneself was through the end of time.
In the future, they would have nothing to do with each other. But why did their hearts tighten at the thought of this? She couldn't bear to part with it. She really couldn't bear to part with it …
