On the sofa in the living room of the Sheng family, Mu Yuxiu and Sheng Qizhou were sitting on one side. Opposite them were Sheng Qizhou's biological mother, Shao Manzhu, who is now the wife of the Sheng family, and Mu Yuxiu and Sheng Qizhou's common father, Sheng Shichang.
Shao Manzhu gave birth to Sheng Qizhou when she was seventeen years old. She is only in her forties this year and is already at the municipal bureau level in politics. And because she pays great attention to personal care, she looks like a beautiful young woman in her thirties.
"Axiu, thanks to your help in sealing the Dongcheng Casino this time." Shao Manzhu put down the documents in his hands and said gently to Mu Yuxiu.
There was no expression on Mu Yuxiu's handsome face, and he said calmly: "We are all one family, we can't talk about helping or not. If my aunt has more political achievements, I, as the eldest son of Sheng, will also benefit from it."
After his mother died seven years ago and Wen Wan left him, he was depressed for a period of time. He had committed illegal activities such as smuggling arms and selling drugs.
Because of his strong family background and connections, he was considered a figure in Taoism back then, so even though Rong Zhaoming had a backing, he still caught Rong Zhaoming's hand.
If a single incident affects the whole body, it is estimated that the relevant officials who have anything to do with Rong Zhaoming's casino this time will be dismissed and investigated.
He gave Shao Manzhu a chance to be promoted for meritorious service.
Father Sheng turned to Shao Manzhu and said, "You really don't need to be grateful to this bastard. Seizing the casino or seizing drugs is just a matter of words according to his ability."
Sheng Qizhou had just received a text message from Dong Weizhuang and was currently replying. When he heard this, he paused with his fingers and frowned his thick black eyebrows.
He raised his eyes with deep meaning, "Dad, have you taught the new parrot you bought to speak?"
Sheng Shichang's face suddenly turned ugly, "That parrot is too stupid and you can't teach it."
Speaking of Sheng Shichang, he actually has no ability at all.
To put it simply, he is a typical example of someone who rose to great heights by climbing high branches.
At that time, Sheng Shichang had a poor wife, Mu Nanyan, and gave birth to a son, Mu Yuxiu. However, he abandoned his wife and son for his career, and used various means to make Shao Manzhu, who was born into a wealthy family, pregnant. Not only did he marry a wealthy family
Thousands of gold, a house, a car, and a company overnight.
Not to mention Mu Yuxiu himself, even a gentle-tempered person like Sheng Qizhou didn't like to see his biological father.
At the age of only 25, he ousted Sheng Shichang from the position of president of Shengshi. In the past few years, he simply let Sheng Shichang enjoy his old age at home.
On weekdays, Sheng Shichang could only keep pets and flowers, and had no status at home.
"Okay, I'll find someone to teach me another day." Sheng Qizhou's words meant he was scolding Sheng Shichang for being incompetent.
You can't even tame a beast, how can you rebuke your elder brother?
Sheng Shichang had a cowardly temperament, and when his son scolded him with such insinuations, he did not dare to answer the words easily, for fear that his son would cut off his financial path.
He had no choice but to turn his finger on Mu Yuxiu, "Azhou's words are reasonable. Ahxiu has changed his ways now. I shouldn't mention the past things again."
Change your ways?
What a reformer!
Doesn’t this mean that the biggest criminal is in our home?
The corners of Mu Yuxiu's thin lips curved into a cold and ironic arc, and he pinched his fingers one by one. The veins on the back of his hand popped out, and even the light blue blood vessels were clearly visible.
"Why hasn't Amin come here yet?" Shao Manzhu saw Mu Yuxiu and Sheng Shichang, the father and son, secretly fighting again. She quickly changed the subject and told the servant, "Go and call to urge her. If she has something to do, she can't come.
, we won’t wait for her, the food is getting cold.”
As soon as the words finished, Qiao Feimin had already been led in by the servant, laughing loudly, "No wonder I kept sneezing along the way. It turns out that you, aunt, were talking about me early in the morning. I'm sorry, I'm late.
, let your whole family wait for me."
"You kid, I haven't seen you for a while, but your mouth is still so sweet." Shao Manzhu said with a smile, but the corners of his eyes still showed wrinkles as deep as a knife.
After Qiao Feimin greeted Shao Manzhu, she turned to Mu Yuxiu, with tenderness in her eyes, "Axiu, you're here too."
Mu Yuxiu lowered his head and played with the lighter. After hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced at her. He saw that she was wearing a purple evening dress, elegant and elegant. He raised the corners of his lips and said, "I just asked you to come over for a casual meal, but you dressed up."
Being present makes us look shabby."
This sounds ironic.
After all, Qiao Feimin still bears the title of Mu Yuxiu's fiancée. Even though she knew that Mu Yuxiu always spoke harshly, her face still turned a bit pale.
Sheng Qizhou stood up at this moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister-in-law."
Qiao Feimin's expression softened a little.
Unexpectedly, there was a "ding" in his ear, and Mu Yuxiu lit a cigarette and said coldly: "Azhou, don't try to trick others into trying to identify her. I have never admitted that she is my fiancée."
"Who do you think you are?" Sheng Shichang stood up and raised his voice angrily: "Don't admit it?! If you don't admit it, get out of the Sheng family!"
Mu Yuxiu laughed contemptuously, stood up slowly, and tried to walk away, but was grabbed by Qiao Feimin.
Qiao Feimin turned to Sheng Shichang and said, "Uncle, why are you so angry? Ah Xiu just doesn't like being bound by a marriage contract. Don't be angry. I know that uncle loves tea. I brought a good tea set here to see if he likes it."
"
After saying that and winking, Shao Manzhu went to the kitchen to ask the servant to serve the food, while Sheng Qizhou hooked Mu Yuxiu's shoulder and walked into the restaurant.
After the meal, Mu Yuxiu talked a few words about work with Sheng Qizhou. Seeing that it was almost time, he said hello and left, preparing to pick up Wen Wan at Shen Du's house.
Just after leaving the villa, Qiao Feimin followed, "Axiu, let's find a place to talk!"
Mu Yuxiu kept walking, making gentle calls while saying: "There is nothing to talk about between us."
"What if it's the truth about your mother's murder?" Qiao Feimin saw Mu Yuxiu suddenly stop, she chased after him again and stood in front of Mu Yuxiu.
Qiao Feimin stretched out her slender arms and hugged Mu Yuxiu's neck, pressing her whole body close to him, almost hanging on his body, "If you ask me once, I will tell you everything I know."
The phone in Mu Yuxiu's hand vibrated.
He glanced at a familiar series of numbers, slowly moved his index finger to the reject button, pressed it gently, and then turned off the phone.
He stretched out his arms, bent his waist, picked up Qiao Feimin and walked towards the car.
***
Wen Wan stood in front of the window. The phone rang several times but no one answered. The last time she hung up, she called again and heard a notification tone that the other party's phone had been turned off.
She slowly lowered her hands, her palms were covered in sweat, and her phone was about to slip from her palms.
Shen Du came over and stood beside Wen Wan, "Still no one answered?"
"No!" Wen Wan shook her head and said clearly in a clear voice: "He said to wait for me outside and asked me to go out now. I'm leaving. You and your sister-in-law can go to sleep! I'll come back another day when I'm free."
After she finished speaking, she left and turned around quickly.
Before Shen Du could catch her, she had already ran out. In Shen Du's eyes, she couldn't wait to see Mu Yuxiu.
Shen Du's fists clenched and his waist tightened. Dong Weizhuang pressed against his back and said, "Barrister, after sending my sister away, should we go to bed too?"
Shen Du turned around and hugged Dong Weizhuang, closing his eyes hard, but the red eyes and staggering back when Wen Wan left were still in front of his eyes.
***
After Wen Wan came out of Shen Du's house, she walked to the street and looked at the time. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening.
There were not many cars at this time, and Shen Du's villa was not located in a busy area. She walked for more than half an hour before she got a taxi.
After returning to the apartment, Wen Wan went to the study first and then returned to the bedroom. After Mu Yuxiu was nowhere to be seen, Wen Wan was sure that Mu Yuxiu would not come back tonight.
She took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she sat back on the bed, she found blisters on her feet. She suddenly felt that she must have been really delicate recently. How far did she have to walk?
Wen Wan usually goes to bed alone first, and tonight was no exception. She fell asleep not long after lying on the bed after turning off the lights.
But when it was almost time for Mu Yuxiu to come back every night, she woke up out of habit.
Without Mu Yuxiu's arms under her head and his broad chest, Wen Wan tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep. She had no choice but to get up and take the medicine from her bag. After swallowing it with water, she fell asleep again within a few minutes. Go to sleep.
Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes again, the sky outside the window was still as black as ink. She took out her mobile phone.
Four o'clock.
Four o'clock.
Her biological clock has been completely disrupted by Mu Yuxiu's quirk of four o'clock.
She couldn't sleep at all, so Wenwan washed the sheets and pillowcases, but it still didn't light up.
She really had no choice but to use a vacuum cleaner and mop to clean every corner of the house, and the long night was finally over.
The moment Wen Wan saw the sun rising from the east, she almost felt like she had escaped from the darkness and was reborn.
Mu Yuxiu still hasn't come back.
Wen Wan guessed that Mu Yuxiu had gone to the company, and was about to go to the kitchen to prepare his own breakfast when the doorbell rang.
Didn't Mu Yuxiu bring the key?
Wen Wan frowned and opened the door in confusion.
After the door opened, a woman was seen standing there bent over and panting, and on her slender shoulders was the unconscious Mu Yuxiu.
Wen Wan smelled the pungent smell of alcohol and subconsciously took a step back.
Before he could speak, the man spoke first, "You are just gentle, right? Ah Xiu was drunk at my house last night, and he just asked me to send him here. Can I go in?"
Her tone was very polite, her voice was gentle and nice, and her face was sincere and sincere, making it impossible to refuse easily.
Even though Wen Wan had thousands of reasons to help Mu Yuxiu over and close the door, when she saw the vague red marks on Mu Yuxiu's neck, she still stiffly and slowly turned sideways to make way.
Qiao Feimin thanked her and walked straight into the bedroom. Wen Wan still maintained the same posture, motionless, only holding her fingers on the door frame with little force.
