Steadily, she looked again. There was no one else around the corner.

"Are you seeing things?" She frowned and mumbled.

"What's wrong, Mu Yu?" Lu Jean tilted his head and asked.

She shook her head and looked around the corner again. "It's fine, I just got the wrong person."

"…"

Two minutes later, Lu Jean knocked on the door and brought her into an office. There was a middle-aged man in a white coat sitting by the window.

"Uncle Zhao."

The middle-aged man stood up and said, "I've come, what's the matter?"

Lu Jean carried her on his back and stepped forward, "She hurt her ankle. It was quite severe, and the swelling was very severe."

"Aiyo, hurry up and let me take a look."

Mu Yu carefully took off her shoes and socks. Her red and swollen ankle from last night had turned purple.

She told him about the dislocated ankle last night.

"Uncle Doctor, did I hurt my bones?"

Uncle Zhao lightly nodded his head on the bruise on her ankle. He shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. The foot is too swollen. Let's go to the second floor to take a film first."

"Alright, I'll take her there now." Lu Jean helped her up.

After the two thanked her, Lu Ling carried her out. Mu Yu inadvertently turned around and saw Uncle Zhao smiling amiably at them.

"…"

Perhaps it was because she was brought here by Lu Fang. Mu Yu felt that the way Uncle Zhao looked at her was so different, that … Excessive passion?

After going to the second floor to take a movie and waiting in the corridor to pick up the film, Mu Yu was bored and looked down the stairs.

When she saw it, she abruptly stood up with a face full of pleasant surprise.

F * ck me!

Isn't that man with the white shirt and black trousers, Lu Jingmo!?

Perhaps Lu Shimo had saved her last night, but this time, Mu Yu no longer gnashed her teeth in anger when she saw him. Instead, she felt a rare sense of excitement.

From her vantage point, she could see Lu Shimo's perfect profile.

emm... "This man is so handsome!

Mu Yu held the windowsill and stuck his head out. Just as he was about to shout, he shut his mouth again.

The next second.

She pushed against the windowsill with both hands, her right leg first, then her left foot.

She crouched on one foot on the windowsill and shouted down.

"Lu Shimo!"

She smiled sweetly at the man directly beneath the window and said, "Catch me!"

Just as she finished her sentence, Mu Yu's right foot stepped on the windowsill and she jumped out.

The surrounding crowd burst into exclamations.

The moment she jumped down, she saw Lu Shimo standing still on the spot, still holding his bag with one hand. He had no intention of catching her.

No way, so cold-blooded!

She wailed in her heart. Her mind was already imagining the miserable state she would be in when she fell to the ground.

However, in the end, there was a wave of shocked exclamations.

She landed firmly in Lu Shimo's firm embrace. At the same time, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

"What nonsense is this!" An angry voice boomed from above her head.

When she raised her head and met with the man's dark eyes, she smiled and asked, "I'm here to look at my feet. Why are you here?"

Just a moment ago, when he was in high spirits, he had jumped off as soon as his head got hot.

He didn't even think what he would do if Lu Tingxiao didn't pick her up, but luckily he did.

Lu Shimo stared at her with his pitch-black eyes, frowning slightly.

"Come down."

"Oh."

Mu Yu slid down from his body and steadied himself. When he turned around, he saw an old lady sitting on a bench beside him, looking at them in astonishment.

She rubbed her nose embarrassedly, this seemed to be Lu Jin's grandmother …

The old lady sized her up and asked Lu Shimo, "Third brother, this girl is …"

Before Lu Shimo could say anything, Mu Yu spoke politely, "Greetings, Aunt. I'm Mu Yu."

The moment she finished speaking, she felt the man's gloomy gaze land on her once again. She turned her head and playfully stuck out her tongue at him.

"Mu Yu, Mu Yu …" The old lady repeated her name a few times before she suddenly realized what had happened. "Is it that lass from the Mu family?"

"Yes, aunt."

She was rather perturbed to see the old lady recognize her.

However, she didn't expect that in the next second, the old lady would look at her differently.

She held onto Mu Yu's hand and sized her up with a smile. "Oh, this girl is so beautiful."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Being praised, Mu Yu was elated. She glanced sideways at Lu Shimo.

Did you see that!? Your mother even praised me for being beautiful!

Lu Zhimo stared at her expressionlessly. His black eyes were deep and unfathomable. It was hard to tell how he was feeling right now.

"You're nineteen today, right?"

"Yes, aunt."

Just as Mu Yu finished her sentence, she heard Lu Jean's roar from above.

"Mu Yu, what are you doing?!" Eyebrows... Grandma, Little Uncle? "

The three of them raised their heads in unison to look, and met the gaze of Lu Qun who had stuck his head out.

"…"

Two minutes later, Lu Jean rushed over.

He put his arm around Mu Yu's shoulder and said with lingering fear, "You scared me to death. When I get back from the bathroom, I'll hear that you jumped off a building!"

"…"

Jumping off a building?

She wasn't stupid!

After he finished talking to Mu Yu, Lu Tingxiao was about to ask Lu Jingmo why they were here. However, the moment he raised his head, he saw Lu Jingmo staring at him with a ghastly expression.

He felt a chill run down his spine. "Uncle …"

Lu Jingmo's cold gaze swept across the arm on Mu Yu's shoulder and said, "Your dad knows that you escaped from confinement last night and didn't return home during the night, right?"

"Little Uncle, don't be a snitch!" All the hairs on Lu Lian's body stood on end as he hurried over to hold the old lady, "Grandma, you have to protect me. My dad will beat me to death!"

The old granny patted her grandson's hands with a smile, "If you don't listen, don't make your father angry!"

"Right."

At this moment, Lu Shimo opened his mouth again, "Lu Jean, send Grandma home."

"Huh?"

The old lady was quite quick-witted. She glanced at Lu Shimo and Mu Yu before taking her eldest grandson's hand and said, "Let me pass. Grandmother is a little tired. Quickly send Grandmother home."

Since his grandmother had spoken, Lu Lian naturally could not refuse.

He glanced at Mu Yu and frowned as he said to Lu Shimo, "Uncle, please help me take the film. Her leg is injured, but you have to send her home after seeing her doctor."

"…"

What they were most afraid of was that the atmosphere would suddenly freeze!

Mu Yu felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw that the old lady had left with Lu Jean, leaving only the two of them behind.

"Thank you!" Mu Yu said after a while.

The man had one hand on his pockets, but he still remained as cold and aloof as before. "Right."

After a simple conversation, there was silence again.

After a long while, Mu Yu looked at his expressionless face and said nervously, "Uncle Shuai, can you not ask the principal to fire me?"

Uncle Shuai?

Very good!

He lowered his eyes and smirked coldly, "If I say no, are you going to expose my hidden ailments again?"

Mu Yu stuck out her tongue and smiled awkwardly. "It's a misunderstanding."

"Let's go."

"What are you doing?"

"Take the film."

Seeing his good attitude, Mu Yu was immediately emboldened. She hopped a few times on one foot and said, "My feet are hurting, hug me."

Lu Jingmo's footsteps paused and he narrowed his eyes. "Kneading on the nose and face?"

"No, I'm in so much pain!"

Lu Shimo lowered his eyes to look at her purplish-blue ankle. He looked at her in disdain, "Why can't I see your pain even after jumping out the window?"
