Chapter 48: The Water of the Quiet Spring

Mu Xichun didn't say a word again along the way. Twenty minutes later, the car entered a high-end community. I was a little stunned when I looked at the tall buildings in front of me.

I thought that Mu Xichun could only find me a cheap ordinary house at most, but I didn't expect that she would rent me a house here.

You must know that this place is second only to Cuiweiju Villa and Villa in the city, and it is far away from the villa area. Those who can settle here are either rich or expensive, so the housing prices can be imagined, and the rents can also be seen.

Mu Xichun parked the car and walked straight to the elevator of a building without even looking at me. I was full of doubts, but at this point, I could only bite the bullet and follow him one step at a time.

The elevator stopped on the twenty-fifth floor. Mu Xichun got out of the elevator, took out the key from her bag, opened a door, looked back at me and said, "This is it!"

Seeing my frightened expression, he said in a stronger tone: "Go in!"

I then nervously carried my suitcase in. When I entered the room, I discovered that the house was nearly 200 square meters in size. Not only was it fully equipped with home appliances, but the brand-new decoration and unique design showed that the owner was quite tasteful.

.

I looked around this luxurious and huge space and touched the milky white leather sofa, and suddenly I felt panicked.

"This...this place! You...you think I can afford to rent it?" I said with my tongue tied.

"Anyway, I've paid the rent for half a year. It's definitely impossible to check out. You have to live here!"

"Let me tell you, I won't rent it if it's too expensive. Don't try to take advantage of me. It's you who rents the house, not me. I'll find a new place on my own!" After that, he packed up the suitcase and walked out.

Mu Xichun leaned against the door and blocked my way. He smiled contemptuously and said, "Look, I scared you! Okay, then tell me how much the rent was for the house you lived in before?"

"I live in a warehouse for free!" I blurted out without thinking.

Mu Xichun's face became gloomy when she saw that I deliberately misinterpreted her meaning, as if she wanted to have an attack but was trying her best to hold it back.

"You know what I mean, do I mean the warehouse?"

"Two...two thousand and five!" Seeing that she was angry, I quickly changed my words.

"Okay, I'll pay NT$2,500 for this house, and the rest will be treated as benefits provided by the company! I'm leaving."

"What you said...is true?"

I can't believe it. Although I have never lived in such a nice house, I still have some idea of ​​the rental price.

With my income, I can only afford to pay the rent for living in such a house.

If it is true that just 2,500 yuan is given to me as Mu Xichun said, then this benefit is too great.

Mu Xichun looked at me with disdain, put down the key and turned around to leave.

I stood at the door and watched her walk into the elevator for a long time before I came back to my senses. This incident made me a little confused. So far, it seems that not only did she not punish me for my part-time job, but she also helped me solve a real problem.

, this is where I feel confused.

I don't believe that she did this to ensure my working status and avoid causing losses to the company, as she said, then her purpose is really intriguing.

I thought about it again and again, trying to find some clues from some details that I had ignored before, but in the end I had no clue.

I looked around this luxurious space and sighed. After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Since I can't figure it out, don't think about it. I'll just take it as it comes. Since someone has given me such good benefits, why shouldn't I accept it?

I looked through all the rooms. The beds in the master bedroom and the two auxiliary bedrooms are fully equipped, the kitchen equipment is also available, and even the plants on the balcony are bright and vibrant.

If what happened just now wasn't too real, I really couldn't believe that I could live in such a house one day. It's no wonder that Mu Xichun didn't let me bring too many trivial things. Now it seems really unnecessary.

Bundle

After I simply put away the things I brought, I sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. The cool breeze from the air conditioner blew on me, making me feel an illusory sense of comfort.

After I relaxed, I thought of a question: How did Mu Xichun know that I worked in a bar and about my living situation.

If she said that she specially sent someone to investigate me, I would definitely not believe it. Firstly, this is not her style, and secondly, it is completely unnecessary for me, an employee who will leave her job soon.

I thought of Annie again. Annie went to the company to find Mu Xichun a few days ago to help me solve this matter. Could it be that she told Mu Xichun?

Thinking about it, it is entirely possible that she told Mu Xichun about my predicament in order to make her accept that she would pay off my debt. After thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only possibility.

I felt a little melancholy when I thought about Annie. I thought that the reason why Annie misunderstood me this time was because of my housing problem. Now that the problem was solved, I felt it was necessary to tell Annie, so I took out my mobile phone and dialed Annie's number.

When the call was connected, I briefly told Annie what happened today.

"Did Mr. Mu arrange the house for you?" Annie asked after being silent for a few seconds after hearing what I said.

"Yeah, I wonder how she knew that?" I asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Anne was silent for a while and said, "I told her last time. I wanted to help you pay back the money and ask her to let you go early, but she didn't agree. She didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

"She didn't make things difficult for me, she just asked me to find another place to live," I said truthfully.

"Brother!" Annie's tone suddenly became soft.

"I have thought about it carefully in the past few days. Maybe I did not do this properly enough and ignored your feelings. If I solved the problem like Mr. Mu, I would not have made it so difficult for you. Will you blame me?

?" Anne blamed herself.

Annie's words made me feel a little distressed. I'm afraid that only kind people like her in this world can still find reasons for themselves when encountering such things.

"Annie, don't say that. You are just trying to help me. You are not wrong, so how can I blame you?"

"To put it bluntly, I can only blame me for not living up to expectations and always letting you worry about me. I promise you that after I resign, I will find a job and live a serious life." I said emotionally.

"Well! Brother, I believe you!" Annie's tone became firm.

"Okay Annie, it's hot. You must take care of yourself. I will pick you up when you come back!"

Anne hummed, and just as I was about to hang up the phone, Anne said again: "Brother, actually, I don't think Mr. Mu is as unkind as you said. Although she looks strong on the surface, we can see from this incident that she is actually

She is still very reasonable! Could it be that you have some misunderstandings about her? "

I laughed secretly in my heart, how can you understand this woman Mu Xichun? I just offended her without knowing her identity, and she took revenge on her and arranged me next to her to find a way to give me little shoes to wear. How could this happen?

It could be as simple as a simple misunderstanding, but I couldn't tell Annie about this.

So he said perfunctorily: "Annie, don't worry, I will handle the relationship with her!"

Annie didn't say anything else, just said "I understand" and hung up the phone.

I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when I thought about what Anne said just now that she believed in me.

Over the years, Anne has always firmly believed in my words, but my promises are often unable to be fulfilled in the end. However, Anne never seems to be disappointed in me and still has full confidence in me.

On the contrary, I became more and more disappointed with myself and felt that I had betrayed her trust.

Since moving into the new place, my sleep quality and energy have been significantly better, and it seems that my quality of life has also improved qualitatively.

Going in and out of such a high-end residence every day will inevitably give rise to some false pride, as if you have become a high-end person like everyone else.

Although I understand that this house is similar to

I have almost no connection, I am just a idiot with a glamorous appearance. It seems that human nature is indeed ugly.

Since this place is far from the bar, I have to go to three places every day, especially in the morning I have to get up earlier than before.

Fortunately, I have a good means of transportation, which is not only convenient but also does not have to worry about traffic jams. Over the past few days, I have almost figured out the duty rules of the traffic police on these road sections, so that I can always avoid them very well.

Mu Xichun didn't make things difficult for me these days. As she said, she didn't punish me for violating the company's rules by working part-time outside, which made me feel at ease at the same time.

She never interfered with my personal life again, and our relationship returned to its previous state of non-interference.

That night I came to the bar to work as usual. What I didn't expect was that Mu Xichun suddenly appeared in the bar again.

When she arrived, it was the busiest time in the bar. I was preparing drinks for the guests at the bar and didn't see when she came in.

When I found her, she was already sitting on a stool in front of the bar, with an enigmatic smile still on her face.

I handed the drink in my hand to the waiter and said, "Why are you here?" Since the band in the bar was performing, I raised my voice and said to her.

She glanced at the bartender Xiao Li who was making drinks and said to me: "Can you make drinks?"

"What flavor do you want to drink? Just ask my bartender to make it for you."

"Whatever! But I want you to tune me out!" She looked at me with a slightly naughty expression.

I'm a little suspicious of what kind of tricks this woman is trying to play. Recently, I've found that I can't figure out her tricks any more. I don't even bother to ask her if she's a monster or a ghost. If she wants to do something evil, she'll always show her fangs.

I took the bartending utensil from Xiao Li's hand, poured some wine into it, and pretended to shake it using the half-baked bartending skills I learned from Xiao Li.

Mu Xichun watched my movements with great interest from outside the bar, with a smile on his lips, which made me feel uncomfortable.

When I brought the wine to her, she looked down and looked hesitant, as if she was hesitant to drink it.

"What kind of wine is this?" she asked.

"Of course it's a good wine!" I answered the question incorrectly.

"Don't you all like to name every drink you make? Does this one have a name?"

I didn't expect that a young lady like her would understand the social traditions of this kind of bar, which really impressed me.

"Of course!" I thought for a while and said, "This is called the water of Youquan. Do you dare to drink it?"

"Water from a quiet spring? Do you think I'm a monster?"

I laughed loudly: "Then do you dare to drink it?" I thought that you are self-aware.

Mu Xichun looked at me quite disdainfully, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. I looked at her silently, waiting for her to make a fool of herself. Who knew that she could hold back from spitting out the wine, but she frowned and finally swallowed it.

I clapped my hands and gave a thumbs up and said, "It's so rare, so courageous indeed!"

"What kind of wine is this? Why is it so bitter?" Mu Xichun said while holding back retching.

I looked at her with a slight contempt and said: "This is medicinal wine. It is a bit bitter but it can nourish the liver and stomach. It is good for the body, especially for women like you who are prone to losing their temper!"

This is true, although my original intention was to make her look embarrassed, because Xiangdong once gave me this medicinal wine. I knew that it tasted extremely bitter, but it had a nourishing effect on the liver, so I took it out.

I gave it to her to drink, but I didn’t expect that she could really hold back and not spit it out.

"Really?" Mu Xichun was a little confused.

"Of course. Have you ever felt that your internal organs are warm?" I said firmly.
