Chapter 46 You Deserve It.

Perhaps I stayed in the restroom for too long.

Jing Ge's phone rang.

It was Li Mushi calling.

This phone call was like a pair of scissors, severing the unknown connection between Zhuo Yueyue and others and Jing Ge.

Jing Ge swallowed hard, his throat feeling numb, and answered the call: "Uncle... Uncle."

"..." The man paused briefly, his deep voice seemingly right next to your ear, "Not ready yet?"

“Alright,” Jing Ge said, trying to sound natural, “I’m coming out now.”

At this point, Jing Ge looked at Zhuo Yueyue and abruptly changed the subject: "Uncle, I ran into Li Zhan."

The smile on Zhuo Yueyue's lips finally disappeared.

As if understanding that the uncle Jing Ge was talking about was Li Zhan's biological uncle, the one who truly controlled the Li family's operations, Zhuo Yueyue's invisible smugness and pride vanished.

A fleeting moment of patience.

There's also the act of swallowing one's anger.

She really liked Li Zhan and didn't want to leave a bad impression on his uncle.

After hanging up the phone, Li Mushi was waiting at the entrance of the women's restroom.

The mall's restrooms are extremely luxurious, with spacious and bright corridors, and a faint fragrance of orchids.

Seeing them come out, Li Mushi asked indifferently, "What classmates?"

Zhuo Yueyue clasped her hands together, adopting a graceful and dignified posture: "Hello, Uncle. Li Zhan and I are classmates."

Li Mushi's gaze swept over him: "How did you two meet?"

"..." Zhuo Yueyue paused, not understanding. "What? Oh, Li Zhan and I met in college..."

Li Mushi interrupted her: "You and Jing Ge."

Zhuo Yueyue's mind went blank for a moment, as if she couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

"Li Zhan, please explain?" Li Mushi didn't mind being more specific, "What occasion and what reason?"

Zhuo Yueyue's lips moved slightly.

Li Mushi: "It doesn't seem so. You bypassed Li Zhan, checked Jing Ge's information, and deliberately pretended to run into him by chance. What is your purpose?"

"..." Faced with two sharp and direct questions in a row, Zhuo Yueyue was forced to back down and could no longer feign ignorance. She reflexively replied honestly, "No, Uncle. Jing Ge and I are classmates."

Li Mushi's deep gaze lingered for half a second: "You and Jing Ge are classmates, but you both introduced each other through Li Zhan, which shows that there is no classmate friendship. The culprit is Li Zhan, and you are the one who has given in to depravity."

"......"

Lin Mi was used to her boss's keen insight.

Mei Ying's eyes lit up; her admiration was overflowing.

“We didn’t do anything,” Liu Sisi said indignantly. “We just greeted an old classmate, and she slapped Yueyue so hard she bled. She hasn’t changed at all over the years. If she doesn’t like something, she’ll kill it…”

Lin Mi frowned.

That's it.

That's exactly how I felt just now.

The three of them surrounded Jingge in the middle, and from any perspective, it looked like soft bullying, but they were the ones who were the victims.

It leaves no room for argument.

It is extremely uncomfortable.

Li Mushi's expression remained unchanged.

The child's playing house was an extremely clumsy performance.

Li Mushi examined the specimen with the same calmness: "She tried to kill you?"

Jingge abruptly lifted her eyelashes: "I didn't..."

Li Mushi gave her a faint look.

Jingge's eyes stung with tears.

She was afraid that even the person she trusted most would be persuaded by Zhuo Yueyue and the others.

Liu Sisi replied matter-of-factly, "Of course..."

“Since she tried to kill you,” Li Mushi looked at her and pointed out the logical contradiction, “were you greeting her just now, or were you retaliating?”

"......"

Li Mushi: "Given your current vengeful nature, if you call a reply a greeting, then I'll have to take your words the wrong way? She tried to kill you, which means you tried to kill her?"

Mei Ying almost couldn't help but applaud him.

They truly are the rulers of the adult world.

It is possible to dissect the opponent's sophistry from a single sentence.

"Uncle, you've misunderstood," Zhuo Yueyue said anxiously, afraid of leaving a bad impression on him. "Sisi and the others were just worried about my injury, and they acted rashly in the heat of the moment..."

Li Mushi's gaze swept over her injured hand, then he frowned: "Jing Ge."

Jing Ge was in a very bad state, and looked up absentmindedly.

Li Mushi: "Hand."

Mei Ying realized what was happening and immediately grabbed her wrist, exposing her hand.

Jing Ge's palm had a deep cut on the thenar eminence caused by Zhuo Yueyue's studded jewelry.

And she didn't feel any pain.

Her body was reacting so strongly that she was completely numb.

Li Mushi's dark eyes revealed unspoken fury: "This debt is on Li Zhan's shoulders."

"Uncle, it's not his fault," Zhuo Yueyue said, her face pale. "It's my fault..."

Li Mushi said coldly, "So this student wants me to hold you accountable?"

Zhuo Yueyue was terrified and instinctively fell silent.

Spending so much time on the three girls had already exhausted Li Mushi's patience.

Let Mei Ying and Lin Mi go home first.

Li Mushi took Jingge to the hospital to treat his wounds.

The man remained cold and aloof, steadfastly controlling the steering wheel without a smile.

Jing Ge had no energy to think about anything else and slumped into the heavy passenger seat, completely exhausted.

When they went to the hospital to register, Li Mushi reached into her bag to look for her ID card and inadvertently saw the pills scattered inside.

The lid wasn't screwed on.

It's definitely not that I forgot.

It must have been something I hadn't had time to eat and had hastily stuffed into my mouth.

It is a prescription drug for treating depression and anxiety.

Memory loss is actually a very obvious side effect of the medication.

Li Mushi packed the medicine and put it into the bag.

The doctor treated Jingge's wound and prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication for her to take on time.

On the way back, Li Mushi still didn't say much.

He was extremely gloomy.

Jingge, struggling with drowsiness, called out to him in a daze, "Uncle."

"Um."

I live in a dormitory.

"Um."

“I’m exhausted,” Jingge said. “I want to take a nap first.”

"sleep."

Jingge murmured an "Mmm" and fell asleep in her seat.

He didn't wake up when we got to the dormitory building.

Li Mushi didn't call her. He took the elevator card and room key from her bag, and carried her upstairs.

As light as a ball of cotton.

The elevator lights were bright.

Jing Ge had a brief moment of clarity: "Uncle."

The man's expression remained unchanged: "Hmm."

Jingge said softly, "I remember now."

Li Mushi: "What are you thinking about?"

“At the mall,” Jingge said, “there was something I wanted to tell you, but I forgot at the time.”

Li Mushi carried her out of the elevator: "Okay, go ahead."

Jingge seemed to be lying on a small boat, which was rocking gently, with a round moon overhead.

The clean, crisp scent of soap is reminiscent of the aroma of vegetation and lake water.

“I got a promotion,” she said.

Li Mushi supported her body, pulling her closer to his chest, and used his free hand to open the door.

"Yes, congratulations, you deserve it."

The room was dark, and Li Mushi didn't turn on the light. He put her on the soft single bed in the bedroom.

Jingge could barely open his eyes as he lay on the bed, and managed to say, "New number, I forgot to tell you."

"......"

With her last ounce of strength, she murmured, "I'm sorry."

She's been taking too much medicine lately.

The side effects of the medication weakened the hearts of some people who were very kind to her.
