Chapter 59: Meeting with Shen Jie
Wen Yan's body suddenly tense up, and he was more afraid of that kind of thing: "I can fall asleep! I just slept a little too much during the day. You go to bed, I won't wake you up again..."
Mu Tingchen didn't say anything, and the movements in his hands didn't continue. She breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the dark ceiling empty, but he didn't know that he was also open, his eyes were clear, and he didn't wake up like he had just slept...
The next morning.
Wen Yan woke up from a nightmare and sweated a lot. The room was too warm and she was a little uncomfortable. She got up and debugged the heating. It was just dawn outside, and Mu Tingchen had not woken up yet...
She sat on the sofa opposite the bed and turned on her phone to watch the news. After last night, Chen Mengyao's factory collapsed completely. The news reported the bankruptcy of the jewelry processing factory, which was ranked third in the imperial capital, and even the huge debts owed were reported one by one.
At this moment, she felt a little pale and powerless, and watched Chen Mengyao fall but couldn't help.
Wen Yan looked up at the man on the bed. He was not that serious while sleeping, he would not be gentle in front of others, nor would he be indifferent to her. This is the real him, the closest he is to her...
At eight o'clock in the morning, Mu Tingchen woke up almost on time. Wen Yan poured him a glass of warm water: "The heating is a little dry, drink some water."
His eyes narrowed slightly, looked at her for a moment before taking the water: "I want to meet someone today, you go with me."
Wen Yan wanted to say that it was not very comfortable and didn't want to go out, but when he said something, he swallowed it back. He didn't like being rejected...
When Mu Tingchen went out to do business, she stayed in the hotel for the whole morning. At noon, Chen Nuo drove her to a high-end restaurant. It was still a quiet private room. He saw people outside the window without hearing the noise.
When she entered, in addition to Mu Tingchen, there was another gray-haired old man in the private room. He looked quite energetic. He looked at his clothes and dressed up, but he was not ostentatious, but he was low-key and luxurious.
"Yanyan, this is Uncle Mo." Mu Tingchen smiled with a smile on his eyes.
Wen Yan was still not used to his sudden gentleness. It was obvious that he was a little respectful to the old man, so he cooperated and called "Uncle Mo".
Mo Canghai looked at her and greeted her with a smile: "No need to be restrained, Tingchen's father and I are childhood friends. We just settled abroad a few years ago and have just returned not long ago."
It is fake to say that he is not nervous. Wen Yan doesn't understand why Mu Tingchen brought her to see Mo Canghai. It's like taking her to meet elders...
Mu Tingchen was chatting with Mo Canghai throughout the whole process. She was having dinner and almost didn't say much. She responded when Mo Canghai asked her.
After drinking for three rounds, Mo Canghai became a little drunk and suddenly asked, "Tingchen, have you ever seen your brother?"
Mu Tingchen's expression froze: "Uncle Mo, what are you talking about? Where do I have any younger brother?"
Mo Canghai waved his hand: "You are so old, it's okay to tell you. Your father... had a son outside. Judging from your reaction, the mother and son have never looked for you for so many years? He is so calm."
Mu Tingchen didn't say anything. Wen Yan noticed something was wrong and silently put down the chopsticks in his hand. Not to mention that Mu Tingchen had never heard of it, she didn't even know what kind of younger brother he had. She seriously suspected that Mo Canghai was drunk and talked nonsense.
Perhaps he was really drunk, Mo Canghai started to talk about the past again, as if the words like thunder just now were not from his mouth.
After leaving the restaurant, Mu Tingchen and Wen Yan took Mo Canghai into the car and then turned back to the hotel.
Since the topic started, he had been calm and did not dare to ask too much. He didn't sleep well last night and felt a little sleepy during the day. He was still there, and she felt embarrassed to lie down and sleep directly, so she could only hold on.
Mu Tingchen seemed to have nothing to do in the afternoon, so he didn't go out and just sat on the sofa and worked hard in front of his laptop.
Wen Yan yawned Lian Tian, and couldn't help but find topics to be clear. For some reason, he slipped into what Mo Canghai said: "Do you really have a younger brother?"
Mu Tingchen's hand froze slightly, his face gloomy: "Do you think it's possible? If there were any, he would have come to the door to separate the property long ago."
She realized that she was saying the wrong thing and didn't dare to say anything again. When she was sleepy and tired, she suddenly received a text message from her phone: I am also in City J.
City J is the city where she and Mu Tingchen are currently located. Who is the person who sent the message? How did you know that she is here?!
Her heart began to jump wildly. After a series of eliminations, she had a bold guess that the owner of this number was Chen Jie...
She looked at Mu Tingchen guiltily and confirmed that he had not noticed her, she replied to the message and asked: Who are you?
The message was quickly replied: Chen Jie, I am at Qiaoxi Cafe, are you going to come here?
She subconsciously replied with the word "Yeah" and quickly deleted the information.
After a while, when she calmed down, she said, "Mu Tingchen, can I go out for a walk? It's a little boring..."
Mu Tingchen focused on what he was doing and said without raising his head: "Go, don't go too far, and you are not comfortable letting Chen Nuo follow you. Go by yourself, get lost and drive the navigation. If you really can't do it, take a taxi and remember the name of the hotel."
He actually knew that she was a roadie??? For so many years, she really only remembered the road she went home. Now that she has arrived in City J, she can't find North even if she goes out.
Wen Yan responded and left the hotel and went to the street. She casually found a passerby to ask about the location of Qiaoxi Cafe. What made her a little uneasy was that Qiaoxi Cafe was only 200 meters away from the hotel where Mu Tingchen was...
She began to retreat. If she was discovered, Mu Tingchen would definitely tear her alive...
After thinking about it, she bought a mask and put it on, and went to the appointment with her head down.
As soon as I walked into the cafe, I received a message from Shen Jie: "I'm behind you."
Wen Yan turned around and saw Chen Jie sitting by the window. His smile was still so warm, as if it could make this winter suddenly warm.
What is different from before is that he seemed to give up on white and fell in love with black. The well-tailored black suit outlined his perfect figure. The color can change a person's temperament, and the same is true for Shen Jie, which makes him feel a little more calm.
After not seeing each other for three years, she sat down a little restrained: "How did you... recognize me? I'm wearing a mask..."
Chen Jie reached out and took off her mask: "Even if you turn into ashes, I can recognize you. What should I drink?"
She shook her head: "Just boiled water, I can't stay for too long..."
Chen Jie didn't ask why, both of them seemed to deliberately avoid their other half. She didn't want to mention Mu Tingchen at this time, nor did he want to mention Gu Wanwan.
"Mu Tingchen...Is he good to you?" Chen Jie asked.
