The dinner was finally arranged in a villa wrapped up by the monkey's house.
The monkey had asked the servant to prepare all the food and drinks. Several grills were also prepared on the wide ground outside. However, unlike usual, the grills were all filled with food that was almost ready to be eaten. There was also a large table on the ground. Servants who had been transferred to the house at the last moment were putting food on the table in an orderly manner. Next to the table, there were also several violins playing.
When his colleagues took their seats as soon as they arrived, as the servants had invited them, the rest of them stood at their original positions. Ma Jin looked at the empty seats and said to Murong Shaoyang who was seated at the side: "Murong Shaoyang, are you in the middle of us?" As he spoke, he pointed to the spot between him and the monkey.
"It's better if you two brothers sit together. After all, today is your home ground."
Ma Jin was obviously unhappy, as he pulled Murong Shaoyang and pushed him to his seat, laughing, "You should know that no matter what happens, you are always our boss, our home ground, our center." Ma Jin then asked the people present, "Everyone tell me, right?"
The other colleagues nodded in agreement.
Murong Shaoyang looked at them, and for a moment, he did not know what to say. He could only obey and sit down, then wave for everyone else to take their seats.
The topic at the table was really quite a bit. The usually sloppy employees got a little drunk and revealed their other nature. They gossiped about the company, talked about family matters, and talked about their dreams for the future.
The majority of the people were happily chatting with each other. A small portion of them were engrossed in eating and drinking, some of them because their last meal had gotten infected by their feelings and didn't want to talk, and some of them couldn't even interrupt …
For example … Mu Jinxi was one of the latter … They still have a future and a backer to work on. Once they have enough trouble, they can go back and properly depict the future, and as for her, she is destined to go back to inherit that family business.
A family business that does bad things for others.
No, no! There were also examples of happiness only because it was solved, but they couldn't say it was all bad!
Mu Jinxi fiercely bit off a piece of cake to refute herself.
Then she thought about it. Although there were good and bad things about it, she just didn't like this kind of lifestyle … At the very least, in the future, she could work on her own and choose her own path. She could also, like whoever she wanted to love, and if she wanted to be with someone, she could simply say, "I love you, unlike her …" You even have to bet your future on whether you can be with a guy you like...
"Ai, just how miserable are my days?" Mu Jinxi himself didn't feel a thing as she unknowingly said these words.
Seeing her conflicted expression, Murong Shaoyang laughed out loud and placed the wine cup in front of her, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
When his colleague saw that it was him, he quickly got up and moved to the side to give his seat to his. Murong Shaoyang sent a grateful smile to the employee and the employee laughed dryly and whispered to the person beside him.
"What exactly happened that caused Mu Liu Yanyan to become so tangled up?" Murong Shaoyang placed the cup on the table and asked. The person beside him sighed and replied, "The future ah."
Murong Shaoyang felt that he was familiar with this phrase, hence he asked her with interest, "What's the future?" It's exactly because I don't know what's going on in the future that I'm so conflicted! " Seeing her impatient look, Murong Shaoyang could not help but find it funny, so he teased her, "The future, the future, is something that hasn't even arrived yet, so why are you tangling with it so much? Who can say what will happen in the future? "
Mu Jinxi expressed her disagreement as she shook his head, "You're wrong about that! The only thing that makes me feel happy is that I don't have to worry about it. "
It was unknown if it was because she drank too much or if she intentionally caused herself to lose consciousness, but her voice sounded lonely and lonely, making people feel as if she was exposed to a bottomless pool of muddy water. There were all kinds of garbage, all kinds of pollutants, and the originally clean and clear water did not show any light, so the people in the water randomly grabbed and randomly grabbed, the more they scratched, the more they found out, they could not find any direction or light at all.
Because of this, Murong Shaoyang felt that the two of them were really like this. He couldn't help but ask this pitiful person who shared the same fate as him, "What do you think your future is?"
Mu Jinxi smiled slightly, her mouth opened wide, as if she was about to say thousands of things, but in the end, all of them were sealed in her vigilance. She turned her head and looked at Murong Shaoyang, who had suddenly sat next to her, and especially at his pair of eyes that seemed to have seen through her completely.
Murong Shaoyang thought she didn't hear what he was asking so he repeated the question again, "What do you think your future is?"
"Ah!" Mu Jinxi pretended to be conflicted as she scratched his head and asked while smiling foolishly, "About this question … "I have to think about it …" Without giving Murong Shaoyang a chance to reply, Mu Jinxi quickly lowered her head and thought seriously. However, the expression on her face was about to warp up, what did she just say to herself when she was in a daze? And what had she said?
She was afraid to move her chair to the side, so she lifted her head and put on a smile as she changed the topic. "Is the weather good today?"
Murong Shaoyang also laughed, looking up at the sky as he replied, "Indeed." Then, without saying anything else, he picked up the wine that he had brought over and started to drink.
Mu Jinxi carefully looked at him, her mind constantly thinking back to every word she had said just now. In the end, she was sure that she hadn't said anything carelessly, and comforted herself by patting her chest and exhaling deeply.
Suddenly, Mu Jinxi heard some gossips, she went over to listen.
The person who gave up his seat to Murong Shaoyang had never actually looked down upon Murong Shaoyang since the very beginning. Just now, he merely felt that since he walked over, he didn't want to have too much contact with him, so he got up and left.
The more he looked at her, the angrier he got. Thus, he caught hold of a person who normally did not have a good impression of Murong Shaoyang and started whispering to him.
Unexpectedly, because too many people knew about this secret conversation, the sound of everyone talking slowly spread through the entire crowd.
"Do you know? It's said that the brother who was extremely good with him a few days ago disappeared along with the snow mountain a few days ago. "
"I've heard of it. It seems to be a basketball player, right? It was as if he had previously lost his right to play basketball because of him. When others said that he had been lecturing on basketball every day, he didn't even pay attention to the feelings of others … "Truly such a friend."
"He doesn't treat people as friends at all. Why else would he hurt them like that? well, one Murong Shaoyang after another has happened because of him. "
"Aiya, all of you stop talking. Don't you know he's a jinx?" "Wherever he goes, he will be left with some bad luck. I heard that his stepmother had gotten too close to him, so the consequences would be quite tragic."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. They are looking at us."
This reminder silenced everyone.
Mu Jinxi had heard of that matter before, and roughly knew what that was all about. She turned and looked at Murong Shaoyang, who was standing beside him, and she pursed his lips tightly together like a stubborn child, while her eyes clearly revealed that she was not that kind of person yet she bit his lips and endured. He must have heard the discussions of those people, but she endured it with all her might.
Mu Jinxi found it hard to believe that someone who was usually scared when everyone else was shouting and hiding was actually so quiet at this moment. The silence was because he was afraid of arguing and had lost to the crowd. Looking at his trembling hands on her leg, she suddenly felt that this Murong Shaoyang had many secrets.
Mu Jinxi thought to herself, if it really was like this, shouldn't he stand up and argue with them? If that wasn't true, then shouldn't he return her innocence? If others didn't believe him, then they would use their own methods to prove it?
It was fine to curse at these people like before, or to glare at them viciously and make them shut up, but he didn't choose to shut up. He just stood to the side and fell into silence.
What are you afraid of? Mu Jinxi looked at him and screamed softly in his heart.
"Look, he doesn't even dare to answer me. Didn't he just swear that he had nothing to do with all of this?"
"Now you're still ashamed, so you don't dare to refute me, right?"
"If it's his fault, why do I have to retort? I wonder if this will only make my reputation worse?" "Truly shameless. Earlier, I thought that he was merely being a bit arrogant. Now, it would seem that he's truly being too naive. Truly disgusting."
The discussion became more and more intense.
Initially, he really wanted to get up and slap the table and curse at them. But then he thought that with his current identity, he didn't have the qualifications to argue with them about it, furthermore, at this time, it was a gathering of monkeys and nobody would look good. In the blink of an eye, Mu Jinxi saw that the monkey who was happily chatting at the side had an idea, she looked at the people who were silent at the side and sighed before he stood up and shouted at them.
Just as Mu Jinxi was about to leave the table, Murong Shaoyang's phone suddenly rang, he lowered his head, took a look, got up and went to the side to pick up the call.
"You little bastard, how long do you want me to wait? Do you still want to do business? " Before he could say anything, he was already being scolded. Murong Shaoyang frowned slightly and replied apologetically, "I'm almost there, I'm stuck in a traffic jam on the way."
"Truck? What the hell do you think is going on here? "
Murong Shaoyang clenched his fists and loosened them, pulling down his face to continue smiling apologetically, "I will immediately rush over." "Even if you die, you have to get the hell back here in five minutes!"
If it was before, Murong Shaoyang would have already thrown his phone and cursed, but he had already lost the qualifications to do so since then, and now, he could only kneel down and plead with others for his survival.
With that in mind, Murong Shaoyang kept his phone, turned around to look at the bustling crowd, and those uneasy gazes, he turned and ran off.
On the other side of the bustle, Monkey only heard Mu Jinxi's words, "Your boss seems to be in a bad mood, so he threw down his phone and rushed over immediately."
When the excited people saw Monkey coming over in a hurry, they all shut their mouths and quieted down. Monkey looked around at them before his gaze finally stopped at his seat. The person sitting beside him had already disappeared.
He turned his head and asked, "Sumire, where's our boss?" Mu Jinxi was startled by the question, and quickly looked over. The silent Murong Shaoyang was also not in the same position as before, and shook his head while looking at the monkey, "He was still here just now … "I wonder when he left."
Monkey's face immediately darkened as he quickly walked in front of them and smashed a bottle of wine on the edge of the table. He was so angry that he was like a lion, holding the bottle while shouting at the people who had participated in the gossip, "If anything happens to our boss, I won't let you off!" What the fuck are you guys? What do you know? Have you experienced the injuries our boss has received, or what? Who do you think you are, to comment on others as if you know everything? What do you think you are? "
The group of people were just playing with their mouths. They were scared when they saw that Monkey was really angry. The girls were all screaming as they stood together, while the boys were forced to take a few steps back. No one dared to argue with him.
Mu Jinxi was also stunned when she saw this, she had never seen a monkey as angry as this one before, it was like turning the sky upside down, when Ma Jin heard the commotion and the crowd that came to watch, she quickly ran over.
Originally, he wanted to ask what had happened, but he followed Mu Jinxi's line of sight. When he saw the monkey holding the bottle and threatening his colleagues, he anxiously ran over and grabbed the bottle and threw it on the ground. The bottle dropped to the ground with a soft thud, causing the surrounding employees to quiet down immediately.
Monkey looked at his husband who was pointing furiously at the group of people, but before he could even open his mouth, Ma Jin had already slapped him across the face.
A "pa" sound could be heard. It sounded as if someone had used all of their strength, scaring the staff to the side to shut their mouths and quiet them down for a while.
"Mister!" The monkey turned around as if he was wronged. Being stared at by Ma Jin's terrifying gaze, he turned his face away and swallowed all his words.
He directly picked up the phone and dialed a few numbers. After instructing them on what to do next, he grabbed the monkey's arm and quickly walked in front of Mu Jinxi. Before Ma Jin could say anything, Mu Jinxi had already understood what he meant and patted his shoulder, "I'll go with you guys to look for him."
Ma Jin's bitter face lit up, and he asked, "You … You already know about it? " Mu Jinxi shook her head, "I just can't stand to watch others criticizing the weakling who ran away without saying a word. I clearly know that I'm not in the wrong." Although her words didn't sound good, Mu Jinxi was not sure if her intuition was right, but she would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter what, she would do her best to restore the truth.
A few of them angrily wanted to go find someone, but before they could get out of the door, a group of bullies rushed in from all directions. Some directly broke through the surrounding walls and rushed in.
The hoodlums, who were holding various kinds of sticks, tightly surrounded the group of employees. Unlike last time, the head hoodlum directly came up and said, "As long as you don't kill the other hoodlums, you can do as you like."
