Chapter 121 067: Blood is thicker than water
In the billiards hall.
"Damn it, Brother Cang is a big deal!"
"Six is six, it's clear with one shot!"
"..."
Amidst the compliments, Lu Zicang straightened up, his thin lips were slightly raised, and his long eyes were narrowed, showing a sinister and arrogant arc.He was still holding the cue stick in his right hand, and resting his left hand on the edge of the pool table, he tapped his index finger casually, and said in a lazy and casual tone, "What is this, what a joke." The phone in the right trouser pocket vibrated suddenly.
Lu Zicang's eyes froze, and he quickly returned to normal. He put down the cue, with a very boring expression: "You guys play, I'll take a break."
The people next to him did not suspect him, and started another game.
Lu Zicang walked to the leather sofa next to him and sat down, took out his mobile phone, saw the content displayed on the screen, raised his eyebrows, and quickly clicked something on the screen with a half-smile.
Within a few minutes, Fu Yan came over.
"Brother Fu!" Li Tianhao's eyes were sharp, and he waved at him after seeing someone, "Do you want to have a game?"
"No." Fu Yan shook his head, walked directly to Lu Zicang and sat down.
Lv Zicang, whose eyes had been fixed on the phone screen, raised his eyes, raised his mouth and said, "Yo, are you here?"
"Tsk." Fu Yan leaned back and leaned on the sofa as if he had no bones. He still remembered that this guy deliberately disgusted him, so he didn't bother to talk to him at all.
Lu Zicang was not annoyed, he gave him a wink, and then looked down at the phone, as if blocking everything outside.
Having known each other for so many years, this kind of thing often happens. Fu Yan doesn't know what he is doing, but occasionally sees him staring at the phone with his head down, his expression is rare and serious.
Fu Yan didn't bother him, took out his phone to check the time, and then sent a text message to Mu Jinyue.
In that room, Mu Jinyue was talking about Wang Jieling's message to SJZT, when a message popped up on the top of the phone.
She frowned, didn't even look at it, and ignored it.
Mu Jinyue and SJZT didn't contact each other by SMS, but a software developed by the other party, and only this software could contact him.
Similarly, this software can only be used to contact him, and it is usually equivalent to a decoration that takes up memory.
Only a few seconds later, another message came in, and Mu Jinyue frowned. Just as SJZT hadn't replied to the message, she clicked on it.
Fu Yan: 【Are you home yet? 】
Fu Yan: 【Why ignore me? 】
The latter sentence was accompanied by an aggrieved emoji, and Mu Jinyue was speechless for a moment, unconsciously thinking of the way Fu Yan was pulling her sleeve and shaking her like a baby.
The impatience that had just risen from the bottom of her heart disappeared instantly. She curled her lips and was about to reply when another text message came over there.
Fu Yan: [Do you have a dog outside! 】
and dogs...
Mu Jinyue rolled her eyes, knowing that the other party couldn't hear her, she still muttered softly: "You're so childish."
Before she tapped the keyboard with her pale fingertips, the screen jumped to the interface of chatting with SJZT.
This is a built-in function of that software. As long as the other party replies, no matter what she is doing, the page will automatically jump.
Thinking that SZJT seemed to have more personal affairs, and that she was asking others for help, Mu Jinyue hesitated for a moment, did not quit, and then told him the business.

"Hey," the tinfoil iron put down the cue, hooked Li Tianhao's neck, and lowered his voice: "Look over there, what's going on with Brother Fu and Brother Cang? I see something is wrong with the atmosphere."
Hearing this, Li Tianhao also turned his head to take a look, but he didn't see anything abnormal: "What's wrong?"
"According to my observation, I haven't spoken for at least 5 minutes!"
"5 minutes..." Li Tianhao's mouth twitched, "Brother Fu didn't arrive 5 minutes ago."
Embarrassed by the heat from the tin foil, he stiffened his neck and said, "That's not the point!" He was too excited and his voice was a little loud, so he immediately shrank his neck, "The point is, these two people haven't spoken!"
"Isn't that looking at your phone?" Li Tianhao pulled off his arm, leaned over with the club in his hand, and made a good posture, "Don't worry about eating carrots."
"I don't care about them!" Tin Foil raised his eyebrows and stared at him dissatisfied. After thinking about it, he was still uneasy, so he simply threw the club and walked on tiptoe to the sofa.
A small table was set up in front of the sofa, and a few bottles of water were placed on it. The tin foil was hot and pretended to be thirsty. He picked up a bottle and unscrewed it, took a sip, rolled his eyes, and secretly glanced at Fu Yan and Lu Zicang.
Both of them were focused on their mobile phones and ignored him at all.
Thinking that he made Fu Yan unhappy because he said something wrong at noon, he heats the tin foil and thinks about it, and decides to attack Lu Zicang, who has a better temper.
He leaned over and was about to sit down, when Lu Zicang raised his eyelids in vain, and at the same time quickly locked the phone screen, narrowed his long eyes, his pupils were deep and cold, and looked straight at him.
I was taken aback by the burning of the tin foil, and froze after halfway through sitting down. The whole person showed a half-stretched posture. After a while, I stood up, took a step back, and said with a sneering smile: "Cang... Cang Brother, I'm, I'm just a little tired."
"Well," Lu Zicang stretched his brows and eyes, straightened his two long legs, and pointed to the seat beside him with a smile on his lips, "Sit down."
Tin foil scalding glanced at him again, Lu Zicang was still smiling as before, as if the sharp look in his eyes just now was his illusion.
It must be an illusion. After all, I have known Brother Cang for so long. Although he is good at his hands, he has one of the best tempers.
His thumping little heart returned to normal, and he began to smile again.
"Brother Cang," he leaned closer, glanced at Fu Yan who hadn't raised his head, and joked, "Which little girl were you chatting with just now? You almost caught up with Brother Fu without even raising your head."
Lu Zicang was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, Fu Yan on the other end cast a glance at the tin foil, "Shut up and no one will think you are dumb!" His tone was cold, full of hostility and irritability.
Obviously in a bad mood.
The tinfoil was burning my heart, and I didn't know what to say. When I heard this, I said without thinking, "Brother Fu, what's wrong? Did Miss Mu ignore you?"
Fu Yan raised his foot and kicked him.
This is being poked at a pain point and becoming angry from embarrassment.
The tin foil was hot and he immediately reacted. After being kicked, he immediately shut up and asked Lu Zicang for help with his eyes.
who knew...
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Zicang directly ignored his distress signal, sat up straight, and said solemnly: "I didn't chat with the little girl!"
The tin foil is so hot that he wants to cry, but now he doesn't care about chatting or not, if he doesn't save him, his life will die!
Lu Zicang still explained with a serious face: "I am earning extra money, not flirting with girls, those are two natures, completely different!"
As he spoke, he looked at Fu Yan's expression, and seeing that his expression was still gloomy, he immediately frowned.
The tinfoil iron was directly confused by his operation. They had teased Lu Zicang before, so why didn't he explain it so hastily?
No matter how you look at it, it seems like you are afraid that Brother Fu will misunderstand...
He was thinking in a daze, he forgot even his fear, and he didn't know how he got up and how he walked back to the pool table.
"Third, third?"
"Ah?" Tin Foil Tang looked up blankly, completely out of the situation.
"What's the matter?" The person next to him wondered, "Did you make Brother Fu angry just now?"
"No, I just discovered a shocking secret," murmured as if his soul was out of his body when the tin foil was hot: "Brother Fu and Brother Cang seem to..." Halfway through the words, he suddenly woke up and shut his mouth immediately.
The person next to him seemed to know what he was going to say, and excitedly shook his hand, as if he had finally found an ally, "You found out too! Didn't you!"
Tin foil hot looked at him defensively, thinking that he was going to set his own words.
As a result, the other party said the next sentence, which directly made him freeze in place.
"Brother Fu is too much, to abandon Brother Cang because of Miss Mu!"
Tin foil scalded and stared.
"Look, Brother Cang was so sad that he couldn't speak. He kept looking down at his phone. It must be because Brother Fu brought Ms. Mu here and was hit!" He was still talking to himself: "No, in the future Be careful, don't mention Miss Mu and Brother Fu in front of Brother Cang, otherwise Brother Cang will be very sad!"
The tin foil was hot: "..." Damn it!It turned out to be true!
On the other side, Lu Zicang was still worrying about how to convince Fu Yan that he wasn't flirting with his sister. Before he could figure out a way, he saw Fu Yan holding the phone, his face changed. The hostility and irritability dissipated, and even the corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc.
*
After Mu Jinyue replied to Fu Yan's message, she clicked on the dialogue interface with SJZT again.
The other party still didn't reply.
But Mu Jinyue didn't think much about it. After all, SJZT is a busy person, and it's not uncommon for him not to reply to messages. When he sees it, he will naturally reply.
Mu Jinyue put down her phone, went into the bathroom and took a shower, washed off the smell of hot pot, and changed into clean clothes.
After she tidied up and dried her hair, SJZT replied.
*
Three days later, Mu Jinyue received an email from SJZT.
She glanced at ten lines, and then deleted the email.
The man that day was Wang Jieling's lover, or in other words, her other benefactor.
Tian Rongguang, 45 years old, is also a modest boss. He has a wife and a daughter. He and Wang Jieling met in a traffic accident five years ago. At that time, Tian Rongguang's driver accidentally hit Wang Jieling with his car, and the two got married because of this. After only one month, Wang Jieling became Tian Rongguang's lover.
Mu Jinyue recalled that five years ago, it happened to be the time when Wang Jieling handed her the bank card to her.
Rubbing the edge of the phone with her fingertips, she sneered.
This Wang Jieling is also a talent, she can be supported by a man willingly within a month.
I'm afraid that the so-called "car accident" was not that simple.
She moved her fingertips, clicked on the photo album, and brought up the photos taken that day. The color of her shallow pupils became darker and darker, like a deep sea that makes people addicted, beautiful and silent, but there is a cold storm in the depths .
"knocking"
Mu Jinyue narrowed her eyes, locked the phone screen, put it aside, and raised her eyes again, the bottom of her eyes was clear and clean again, shallow eyes, bright but indifferent.
She got up and opened the door, and glanced at the person at the door: "Sister Wang, what's the matter?"
Sister Wang replied, "Miss, Madam's birthday is coming soon." She paused for a moment, and then continued, "The gift you prepared for Mr....what should I do?"
Mu Jinyue was stunned for a moment.
Every festival or special day, Mu Jinyue would prepare a gift and send it to Mu Yingping's company, asking him to give it to Kong Ansi, which naturally included this birthday.
It was less than ten days before Kong Ansi's birthday, but Mu Jinyue had already prepared a gift a month ago, but this time, Mu Yingping was no longer in Kong Ansi's memory.
"Just leave it to me." She said flatly, "There's no need to remind Mu Yingping."
Sister Wang smiled and said yes.
However, Mu Jinyue didn't expect that someone would do it for her without reminding her.
Two days later, in Chentian Real Estate, the chairman's office was luxuriously and exquisitely decorated, and every part of it was extravagant.
Secretary Xu did not leave immediately after reporting his work, but stood there with hesitation.
Mu Yingping was dressed in a suit and had a dignified appearance. He looked at the document with a solemn expression, without raising his head, "What else is there?" His voice was calm and decisive, revealing the aura of a superior.
"Chairman," Secretary Xu tightened his grip on the folder, and unconsciously lowered his voice, and said slowly, "Yes... Madam's birthday is coming soon."
Mu Yingping frowned tightly, raised his eyes, and there was a thin layer of gloom between his brows.
Secretary Xu swallowed her saliva, summoned up her courage and continued, "But miss, she didn't send the gift she prepared."
In the past, the things Mu Jinyue sent were all received by Secretary Xu. He was also one of the few people in the company who knew something about Mu Yingping's private life.
"Not delivered?" Mu Yingping repeated, but the wrinkles between his brows deepened. He put down the document in his hand, raised his hand to pinch the space between his brows, and asked impatiently, "When is that woman's birthday?"
"A week from now."
After pondering for a moment, Mu Yingping waved his hand, "I see, you go down first."
Secretary Xu responded, took two steps back, and then turned to leave. His steps were fast, as if he was afraid that Mu Yingping would vent his anger on him in the next second.
"Click—" the door closed, Mu Yingping's eyes were dark and his expression was unclear. After a while, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
In Kong's house, Kong Anqing looked at the caller ID on his phone, staring slightly, thinking about the purpose of his call.
Without hesitating for a long time, he connected, with a blank face, but a smile in his tone: "Mr. Mu."
Mu Yingping had also been immersed in the business world for many years, so he smiled and talked to him for a long time before getting to the point.
"I heard that the last time Mr. Kong went to Linru, the little girl was naughty. I'm afraid she offended Mr. Kong."
"How could it be?" Kong Anqing's eyes were deep, remembering what happened when he met Mu Jinyue last time and the conversation with his father later, he hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Although Kong Ansi is no longer a member of my Kong family, But after all, blood is thicker than water, that child Jinyue is relatively close to me."
