When I woke up the next day, my head hurt like it was going to explode. I opened my eyes tiredly and slowly raised my head to touch Mu Huainan's chin.
Perhaps my movement had woken him, but he frowned and opened his eyes. When he saw me in his arms, he pulled me closer without saying a word.
This tone of voice reminded me of last night when he cried out the name that made him think for a long time.
A woman who had never been mentioned in his heart.
I suddenly felt chilled and nauseous.
He could not help but break free from his embrace, jogging all the way to the washroom and beginning to vomit violently into the pool.
Last night, he drank the wine but didn't eat anything. He only vomited. Only after the acid in his stomach was he able to feel a bit better.
I collapsed next to the pool, and suddenly a pair of warm hands were on my back, patting it gently.
"Let you drink so much."
It was Mu Huainan, and his words carried a sense of blame.
It was mostly heartache.
I straightened up and inadvertently pulled my hand away from his.
Casually wiping my mouth with my sleeve, I turned around and left.
Mu Huainan's expression was also not too good. A man who never sleeps, actually woke up later than me today. I know that it was because of the powerful medicinal effect last night, but it was also because of it that the cautious man said the words in his heart.
It would also allow me to face myself properly and not be delusional.
He was the one who brought my breakfast into the room, and he also helped me prepare a decanter. I had been looking very tired all this time, and he probably thought it was because I didn't have enough alcohol last night and I was feeling very sick.
However, the truth was that it originated from the unfamiliar name in his mouth.
Later, he explained everything about last night, how he had lost my face in front of so many people because he was in control of his mind with drugs, and how he blamed himself when he said it, as if he wished he could make up for it with everything he had.
I could see his regret.
But now, I don't care about this at all.
It was probably because he had done too many shameful things that his face had thickened.
The only thing I want to know, is the name that came out of Mu Huainan's mouth, and who exactly is it.
"An An, don't worry. Those people didn't dare to say a word about what happened last night."
Mu Huainan still felt extremely guilty. It was enough that many things were not kept secret, as these things were seen by a few people and remembered in their hearts. There would be a day when these things would come out of the ground.
Just like me and him now.
I sat on the bed and drank my porridge in silence.
"An'an."
He called to me again.
"Right."
"I will be responsible to you for the rest of my life."
Was this a promise?
I slowly raised my head to look, Mu Huainan's eyes were extremely serious, his deep darkness stubbornly reflecting my figure. I looked at him for a moment and then I laughed.
"Uncle Huainan, stop joking."
What he had done for me was enough to make up for the damage he had done.
I'm just a small figure. I won't be unable to see my position clearly.
He was stunned.
After a while, I came back to my senses, took the empty bowl from my hands, and looked at me with bright eyes.
"You're still angry."
I shook my head. "What right do I have to be angry?"
Not giving up on myself, this sentence, is really at this moment my heartfelt expression.
Mu Huainan's face became even uglier. After a long time, he sighed and stood up.
He carried my empty bowl out and told me to "rest well" a second before he closed the door.
I actually wish this matter could just end like this.
Waiting for him to go out. I put my head back under the covers, which smelled of him all over the place. The smell of male hormones made my heart skip a beat.
I sat up abruptly, jumped out of bed, ran to the window, opened it wide, and breathed in the fresh air in great gulps.
I want to calm my mind and not think about Mu Huainan, but the more I do this, the harder it is.
From that moment onwards, I had probably realized my own insignificance. In front of Mu Huainan, a name that I had never met nor heard before was smacked all over my body.
He had no strength to fight back.
In this game, the loser is always me, and the loser is always him.
However, what was even more terrifying was that this game could not surrender. Even if they knew the outcome of this game, they still had to muster up the courage to continue playing.
It was as if he was waiting to die every second.
After that incident, I started to distance myself from Mu Huainan. He probably thought that I was hiding something and was afraid that the outside world would continue to gossip about me. He respected me.
He returned to Paris in a few days, and just like before, he left a message to look for Shen Xiuyuan, and then left.
After hearing Zhao Kun say that the movie industry had ended their cooperation with the Miluo Media, I think it was Mu Huainan's intention. He said that he would not let Fang Wu's family have an easy time, and did as he said.
I think this is just the beginning.
I don't care. I look at the stock market every day, I study business, I look at the examples of successful businessmen, and I observe the development of surging companies.
I almost didn't call Mu Huainan, he was busy, and rarely contacted me.
Time passed by in this manner. During this time, I participated in a senior high school graduation party. The young people gathered together only to drink and sing. Although I participated, most of the time I only watched from afar.
After hearing from Chen Kun that he had sincerely invited her to a few times, but Fang Wu seemed to have become a completely different person. For some reason, it was as if she had locked herself in her house and did not want to go out and meet anyone.
"Is he sick?"
Chen Kun shook his head.
He must still know something, and from his helpless moans, I can roughly guess that he dotes on Fang Wu, but he can't do anything about it.
I did not ask further. When it came to Fang Wu, I was speaking to the last episode when everyone was happily singing together.
The beer bottle wobbled in his hand, and he laughed as he faced the neon lights, half stepping on the table, the corner of his mouth curling back behind his ear.
"Do you know why Fang Wu doesn't dare to come out to meet people?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Because..."
Before the King of Eight Trigrams could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Kun who suddenly stood up.
"Enough!" He stood up with a bottle of wine and said with murderous intent in his eyes, "If you have the guts, then drink with me. Don't stay there and speak nonsense!"
To be fair, anyone who said that this Lady Boss of the Eight Trigrams was reasonable, only Chen Kun was publicly acknowledged as the most feminine man in the class.
Thus, after those words were spoken, there was a moment of silence, followed by laughter.
"How the f * ck do you have the face to say that to others?"
The King of Eight Trigrams laughed until his stomach ached. Chen Kun slapped the back of his head with the wine bottle in his hand.
That was the last gathering of our high school classmates. I think that after my junior brothers and sisters heard our stories, they would think that our class had a habit of hitting the back of the head with their hands, Fang Wu and I, as well as Chen Kun and Little Eight.
That day, when Xiao Ba's face was covered in blood, everyone was speechless. Only the girl who always liked to follow Fang Wu, Mo Wenwen, stood up.
I remember her, the silly girl who liked Peng Haobai to the point that the sky went dark.
I thought that she wanted to speak up for Fang Wu; no matter what, she should at least take Chen Kun's position to comfort him.
But she didn't expect that she only stood up to say what Little Eight didn't say.
"Chen Kun, do you think that just because you injured Little Gossip, no one knew about Fang Wu? You, as the class monitor, have done so many bad things to protect Fang Wu, don't think that you're her hero. Let me tell you, you are f * cking just bullsh * t in Fang Wu's eyes. "
Every word that Mo Wenwen said struck the heart. When I saw the veins on the corner of Chen Kun's forehead bulge out, he gritted his teeth, but he did not dare make a move.
This was because the surrounding boys were watching him like he was a tiger watching its prey. They were afraid that he would do the same thing to Mo Wenwen.
But he didn't.
You don't want everyone to know about Fang Wu's situation, it's just that you're afraid that she'll lose her face.
In her impression of Mo Wenwen, although she bared her fangs and brandished her claws, she was not a despicable person who liked to expose people's weaknesses. Furthermore, the person she was betraying was her good friend in name.
I think it's probably because Fang Wu did something unforgivable to her.
"The Fang family's media company used to be so popular that her parents poured in all their life's work into it. But now, the great Miluo Corporation has officially changed his name to Jiangnan Leather Factory!"
Jiangnan Leather Factory...
After hearing this name, everyone was stunned for a moment before they all began to laugh in tacit understanding. He then answered in unison, "It has failed!"
The Jiangnan leather factory had closed down, making it sound like a complete sentence.
Many people could not hold back their laughter, but when I saw Chen Kun, I couldn't help but blush. I saw that he still had half a bottle of wine in his hand, but he had lifted it in vain. Those who saw it widened their eyes in alarm.
But he never got there first. This time, he hit his own head.
I didn't go to see them, but from what my classmates said, Chen Kun seems to have sustained more serious injuries than Little Eight.
When they heard about Fang Wu, the company turned into a shoe factory, or a shoe factory that everyone knew was going to close down. The company suffered a huge loss, and even their houses were mortgaged.
I heard her mother was depressed, and his father was sick all over.
He wondered if she, who had matured earlier, could understand that there was a cycle of karma behind everything in this world. When she decided to frame someone, there would come a day when she would be the one to take revenge for such a bad thing.
I wanted her to understand, maybe start again, but if she didn't, it could only get more wrong.
Other than Mu Huainan, who else could make the Fang Family a joke in one night?
But thinking about it, turning the Fang family's company into a shoe factory was not my intention. Furthermore, I have never told Mu Huainan about it, I only thought it was to scare Fang Wu.
How did Mu Huainan know?
Sigh, forget it, I won't think about it anymore. Anyway, that man has so many secrets that I don't know about.
