Aguang heard the cautious expectation in Xu Youning's tone, and hesitated not knowing how to speak.
On the surface, Musijue is certainly normal.
The only exception is that Musijue occasionally wanders off. No one knows what he is thinking about when he is distracted, or... who he is thinking about.
After weighing it up, Aguang finally chose to hide it: "Brother Qi is just like before. After finishing the company's work, he has to go to the club to deal with other things. Your job has been taken over by someone. That person has done a good job. Qi.
Brother didn’t send anyone to trace your whereabouts anymore, he probably gave up, you can rest assured.”
Mu Sijue stopped chasing her - this should be the answer Xu Youning wants, right?
In fact, Xu Youning also hoped that this was the answer she wanted, so that she could say "oh" lightly to show that she didn't care.
However, this simple word was stuck in her throat and she couldn't pronounce it.
Her departure really had no impact on Musijue.
Why are you still disappointed and feeling empty and sad even though it was something you had expected a long time ago?
After a long time, Xu Youning found his voice, said a hard "hmm", and abruptly changed the subject: "Did Mu Sijue do anything to you after you went back that night?"
"Of course I'm fine." Aguang smiled easily and tried to whitewash the situation, never mentioning the truth about that night. "You also know the relationship between my dad and the Mu family. Brother Seventh wouldn't do anything to me just for such a trivial matter.
In this way, he just said that if there is a next time, he will definitely not let me go so easily."
At this point, the relaxation in A Guang's tone disappeared, and he sighed, his tone seemed to be smiling, but also full of sadness: "But... there should be no next time."
Xu Youning knew what A Guang meant.
She could no longer go back to Mu Sijue. The meeting with A Guang on the top of the mountain that night was their last meeting, and it was also the last time A Guang helped her.
They will never meet again.
For Xu Youning, Aguang is a very special existence.
Ever since her parents' accident, Xu Youning no longer believed in so-called friends, so during her decades of student life, she lived alone without a single close friend.
Later, she followed Kang Ruicheng, and was surrounded by Kang Ruicheng's subordinates, and all of them were in a competitive relationship. She instinctively did not trust the people she met in this environment. In addition, she was used to living alone before, so she simply didn't
Show up at any party.
In the eyes of others, she is trying to remain mysterious, but in fact, she is just too lazy to deal with strangers.
After so many years, she didn't feel it was strange to have no friends.
Until she met A Guang.
In front of ordinary people, Aguang is a healthy and handsome young man. His smile is almost dazzling. He is even more modest and polite to others. He smiles as if he will never lose his temper. There are countless girls in bars and clubs who do this openly.
Secretly like him.
But when facing Mu Sijue's enemies, Aguang seemed to be wearing another mask. He became ruthless and decisive, attacking quickly and ruthlessly. His kingly style was not inferior to that of Mu Sijue.
He is obviously a two-faced person, but he always makes people forget his ruthless side and only remember how sunny and dazzling he is.
What's even more amazing is that a group of his subordinates and his brothers outside don't just call him brothers on the surface, but really regard him as a brother and have 100% trust in him. As long as he says a word, those people can all
Appear.
Even a person like Xu Youning who is used to living alone can't help but want to become friends with him.
He is also Xu Youning's only friend.
Xu Youning lost her grandmother, she lost Mu Sijue, and now, she was about to lose her only friend.
It was as if his heart was suddenly pricked by a needle, a sharp pain spread from his chest to his whole body, and Xu Youning's eyes suddenly heated up.
She covered her mouth to prevent herself from choking: "It's okay. Goodbye, Aguang."
Aguang's voice was low: "Goodbye."
This time, maybe we will never see each other again, even if we meet again, it will be hostility.
So, it’s better not to see you.
Xu Youning hung up the phone and buried his face in his palms. After all, he couldn't hold it back, and the tears quickly wet his palms.
In order not to reveal her secret, she hid herself under the quilt, biting the corners of the quilt with all her strength, swallowing back the choking sounds.
The road ahead is still long, but no matter whether it is dangerous or smooth, she can only walk it alone.
…
…
Dingya Villa, Lu Family, Study Room.
As soon as Lu Boyan finished processing the documents, he received a call from Mu Sijue:
"She has been taken back by Kang Ruicheng. She told Aguang that she was very happy after getting rid of me." Mu Sijue's calm voice revealed a hint of weariness, "Now, you can compare the death of Grandma Xu and Xu Youning being an undercover agent.
I told Su Yicheng about it."
"I know." After a pause, Lu Boyan asked, "How are you?"
Mu Sijue smiled bitterly: "I understand how you felt when Jian An signed to divorce you. But you are luckier than me. Jian An doesn't really want to divorce you, but Xu Youning... is true
Can’t wait to leave me.”
By the end, Musijue's tone had become self-deprecating.
Lu Boyan said with a smile, "This is the first time I heard you speak in this tone. I didn't expect it was because of Xu Youning."
Mu Sijue laughed: "I didn't expect it to be Xu Youning..."
He thought that he would never fall in love with anyone in this life. But in the end, he fell in love with an undercover agent who approached him with an ulterior motive.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Boyan still said: "I once thought there was no possibility for me and Jian An, but now, we are very good together. Maybe you and Xu Youning..."
"There is no possibility for me and Xu Youning." Mu Sijue interrupted Lu Boyan, his voice low and deep, as if to hide some emotions, "You and Jian An can be together in the end because you like her, and she is just right
I like you, but Xu Youning..." Mu Sijue suddenly paused and abruptly changed the subject, "How long can I keep this matter from Jian An?"
"At the latest, she will find out the clues when Yicheng and Xiao Xi hold their wedding." Lu Boyan said, "I don't want to hide this from her for too long. She has always regarded Xu Youning as a friend. It's better for me to wait until she finds out the clues herself."
Come tell her the truth."
Musijue just said: "You might as well tell her."
After saying a few more words, Lu Boyan hung up the phone and turned around to see Su Jianan standing outside the study door.
Su Jianan's expression was as usual, and it was hard to tell whether she heard anything she shouldn't have heard.
Lu Boyan walked out and asked tentatively: "Aren't you resting in your room?"
"What's wrong with You Ning?" Su Jian'an put a hand on her stomach and looked at Lu Boyan calmly, "I heard it all, what's going on?"
Lu Boyan knew he couldn't hide it any more, so he led Su Jianan into the study, asked her to sit on the sofa, and told her concisely that Xu Youning was an undercover agent sent by Kang Ruicheng.
"There are two more things." Lu Boyan continued, "The document that Kang Ruicheng threatened you with six months ago was given to Kang Ruicheng by Xu Youning."
"What?" Su Jianan just felt unbelievable after hearing this, "Why would she do this?"
Because of Grandma Xu's relationship and her good first impression of Xu Youning, Su Jianan has always regarded Xu Youning as a friend. She never thought that Xu Youning would do anything to hurt her.
However, the biggest harm she suffered after losing her mother was caused by Xu Youning...
It was hard for her not to be disappointed.
"However, the person who restored Lu's innocence was also Xu Youning." Lu Boyan continued, "She disobeyed Kang Ruicheng's order and handed over the explosives in Fangting Garden. The police concluded based on what she handed over.
The responsibility for the accident does not lie with Mr. Lu. Otherwise, Mr. Lu may not have overcome that difficulty until now."
Su Jianan shook her head: "What happened to Youning?" Hurt her, but helped Lu get through the difficulties. Is this compensation from Xu Youning?
Lu Boyan said: "We cannot imagine many things that happened to Xu Youning."
"...Will Mu Sijue do anything to You Ning?" Su Jian'an found that she still couldn't hate Xu You Ning, and there was worry in her tone.
Lu Boyan said: "According to the rules, Si Jue should deal with her cleanly."
Su Jianan naturally understood what this "handling" meant, and subconsciously grabbed Lu Boyan's hand: "No! Grandma Xu is very old. She lost her daughter when she was young. Youning is her only relative.
She can't bear such a big blow."
"Jian An," Lu Boyan held Su Jianan's hand and told her seriously, "Grandma Xu passed away."
"..."
This time, Su Jianan didn't react for a long time, and looked at Lu Boyan in a daze, with a layer of mist slowly filling her eyes.
"Don't cry." Lu Boyan hugged Su Jianan into his arms and let her head rest on his chest, "Grandma Xu doesn't want you to be sad."
"What's going on?" Su Jianan raised her head and looked at Lu Boyan with misty eyes, "When we were on the island, Grandma Xu was obviously fine."
On the island, she and Xu Youning called Grandma Xu together, listening to the old man's voice coming from the distant G City. Only a few days ago, she actually told her that Grandma Xu was gone?
"Jian An, what's going on here is very complicated. I can't explain it clearly to you now." Lu Boyan wiped Su Jian'an's tears, "When this matter is resolved, I will tell you the whole story.
You, huh?"
Although Su Jianan was eager to know the truth, she knew that she should listen to Lu Boyan at this time and nodded: "Where is Youning, where is she now?"
Xu Youning and Grandma Xu have been dependent on each other since childhood. When Grandma Xu passed away, the person who was most saddened should be Xu Youning.
"Xu Youning is in City A." Lu Boyan said, "She has returned to Kangrui City."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Su Jianan's eyes brightened, but the second half of the sentence that followed quickly dimmed the light in her eyes.
"Is this Youning's choice?" Su Jianan asked.
Lu Boyan nodded.
Su Jianan struggled for a while, and finally just sighed: "Forget it."
Everyone has the right to choose. Xu Youning must have her own reasons for choosing to return to Kangruicheng. She is not Xu Youning, so what qualifications does she have to make unreasonable comments?
She couldn't understand why Xu Youning made this choice. It only proved that no one had ever really understood Xu Youning...
