"Gu Yan, you came to eat too? What a coincidence, are you with your friends?" Or —. "
Mu Hai might have realized that Yu Mo was around, but he suddenly stopped and looked around nervously. When he saw that I was alone, his expression relaxed.
How strange, Mu Hai actually greeted me with an amiable expression? But I didn't bother to wonder why. I glanced at him, then went back to washing my hands.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Mu Hai took a step forward.
"Gu Yan, you don't know, I've been living very badly these past few days. Gu Xiaomei is too petty, constantly looking at my phone, making it so that I don't have any privacy at all. In comparison, you've never done these dirty things before, so I still feel better about it. Gu Yan, we …"
I didn't expect that not only did Mu Hai's character get worse, his skin also became so thick that others would despise him. I sternly stopped him.
"Mu Hai, please have some self-respect!" "Also, I'll tell you solemnly that making friends with you is the most regretful thing I've done in my life. It's such a waste of a few years of good time, and if possible, I don't want to see you again for the rest of my life."
After I said that, I raised my foot to leave. Mu Hai's face was completely red as he blocked me.
"Gu Yan, just tell me the truth, I want to ask you a favor. Can you let me be your supermarket chain's supplier of alcohol and tobacco? No, even if it's a supermarket, it's fine. Now, my small company can't even send me any wages anymore, I have to close the door if I don't want to."
I immediately understood that Mu Hai had spoken to me with such a tone because of the supermarket chain's matter. 'It's really three years!' After lamenting for a while, I coldly snorted and said.
"Mu Hai, you should stop thinking as soon as possible. As for the reason, I don't mind telling you. I've already given my family's supermarket chain to the auction company. Therefore, you will never have the chance."
Looking at Mu Hai's disappointed expression, I suddenly had a sudden impulse and raised my eyebrows in ridicule.
"However, even if it has already been auctioned off, as a former shareholder of the supermarket chain, I still have a certain amount of words to say. It's not impossible to discuss about the tobacco and alcohol supplier, but the prerequisite is that —"
As I said this, I deliberately paused for a moment. As expected, Mu Hai's eyes were fixed on me, making me feel very satisfied. However, on the surface, he seemed to be very serious and said, "The condition is that you have to admit that you're a person who eats soft food. Only then will I be able to open my mouth."
Mu Hai's complexion changed from red to green to purple. He had a premonition that I wouldn't help him and his attitude took a 180 degree turn immediately.
Two beams of ruthlessness shot out from his eyes as he said angrily, "Gu Yan, I'm looking for you because of your face, and you're actually treating yourself like a dish. My cousin already sold off the supermarket chain, he's the real new owner there."
In an instant, as if I was shocked by the news of hail in the world of Da Xia Empire, I reprimanded Mu Hai in a fierce manner, "Mu Hai, stop messing around here and spitting feces from your mouth."
Mu Hai saw that I was being rude and glared angrily at me. He raised his hand to hit me and I welcomed him without any fear. At this moment, someone came to the bathroom and Mu Hai had no choice but to leave with hatred.
I just stood there, unable to move, my mind full of Yu Mo's purchase of the supermarket chain.
It's not that I don't agree with Yu Mo's purchase, I just don't understand. For such a big matter, Yu Mo Yi clearly knows that I'm very concerned, but why didn't he mention it to me? What was there to hide?
I can't lie to myself. Hearing this news, I feel a little awkward.
Because I had something on my mind, when I returned to my seat at the table, I couldn't help but glance at Yu Moyi.
Yu Mo asked with concern, "Why are you away for such a long time? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Lifting his hand, Yu Mo was about to touch my forehead.
I picked up my chopsticks at the right time and ate to avoid his hand. Then, I casually said, "It's nothing. I met some old acquaintances and chatted for a while."
I wanted to ask all the questions, but Lu Gang and Ling Ling were still there. I couldn't possibly ruin the meal by insisting that we finish it. When we got home, I was ready to ask Yumo about it, but I held back.
I thought, Yu Mo — perhaps before I could say it, he would tell me the truth without warning, and my doubts would be quietly dispelled.
I suppressed my emotions and calmly asked, "Did we say that we had something to discuss with each other?"
Yu Mo looked at me and answered sincerely.
"That's right, the most important thing for two people to do when they are together is to communicate. Only by communicating in a timely manner will we be able to make each other trust each other and have a lasting relationship. But my wife, why do you ask this question?"
I didn't get what I wanted and had to say, "But why did you hide the fact that you bought my dad's supermarket chain?"
Just as Yu Mo was walking into the living room, he suddenly turned his head and asked sternly, "Who told you that?"
I felt a pang in my heart. Yu Mo Yi was still talking about him, so I didn't say anything. I just stared at him.
After a long while, Yu Mo Yi finally admitted to it.
"I did buy Uncle's supermarket chain, but I didn't want to hide it from you. I just feel that the time is not right, and I want to wait for the supermarket to get back on track in a few months. When we get married, I'll give it to you as a gift."
Yu Mo Yi's words were flawless and full of emotion. I should have believed him, but somehow, I still couldn't get over it.
Finally, I suspect that the auction company has yet to write the results, which is why they didn't allow Yu Mo to boast about it?
As for Mu Hai, he already knew about this matter. If this speculation was true, then he probably found out about it from a small sect. Thus, I decided to personally go to the auction company to inquire about the situation.
I have to say, at this moment, I was still looking for an escape route for Yu Mo Yi. I still didn't believe that he would hide it from me, because I really didn't think that it was something that needed to be kept secret.
The next day, I went to the auction house early in the morning, found the female staff member in charge, and asked, "Hello, I'm Gu Chengnan's daughter. Do you want to know if the auction for the supermarket chain in the south of Gu city is over? Of course, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to say. "
The female staff member looked at me in surprise and replied, "There's nothing to hide. Your father's auction was completed a few days ago. It was bought by Director Yu of 'Mo Yi' Company. Didn't he tell you?"
Suddenly, she realized the mistake in her work and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this matter should have been reported by me personally, but I just happened to have some urgent matters that day and I had to trouble Director Yu to do it for me. However, I did this because you're part of my family, but who would have thought that you wouldn't know that this matter was all my fault.
So there was nothing to say? So it was Yu Mo — he really wanted to give me a "surprise"? But all I have is surprise.
I thought of another question and asked the female staff member, puzzled, "I didn't say we were a family. How did you know?"
The female staff smiled, "On the day of the auction, Director Yu sent someone over to deliver the candy. Only then did we learn that you guys have received your certificates, at that time the entire office was touched by Director Yu's pursuit of love despite the real family's circumstances. I even took the risk of being punished and called Director Yu, telling him many secrets behind the success of the auction.
Yu Mo sent someone to deliver the candy to the staff members before the auction? I was surprised, but even more so.
Although this was only human nature and not a bribe, but more or less, there was a suspicion that someone was playing the role of a lover for the auction. That was the truth, the female staff member was moved, and then told him the trick of the industry.
I frowned deeply, but after a second or two, I thought of another question and asked quickly, "On what day did the auction take place?"
The female staff said, "Last Wednesday morning."
I was stunned when I heard the time. Last Wednesday morning? Isn't that the second day Yumo and I got our license? When he thought about the day he received the certificate, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Could the reason why Yu Mo Yi requested for my certificate that day be because he was preparing for the auction? Or, to go further, he didn't add my name to the certificate to increase my sense of security at all, but to lay the groundwork for it, moving me first, and then smoothly, to get what he wanted.
But must my guess be right?
I think back to what happened, and I can still clearly picture Yu Mo — his expression at that time, he was so focused and affectionate, if a person's words can lie, but the manner can never be false.
My mind was in a mess. I was certain that Yu Mo Yi had designed it, and that I had been fooled; I blamed myself for it in a very strong way. How could I ignore Yu Mo Yi's feelings and be so confused that I didn't even know how to get out of the auction company?
I wanted to believe in Yu Mo Yi, but once I had the suspicion, it didn't go away so easily, and it got magnified as time went on.
Along the way, when the idea of being "designed" popped up from time to time, it didn't take long for me to feel like my heart was blocked by a huge boulder, and I couldn't even breathe comfortably anymore.
