Mu Yuan was well aware that her husband of five years was in love with another w...

Chapter 36 Is persistence meaningful?

Mu Yuan discovered that Gu Chenyi liked to take advantage of the situation.

But she was very disgusted by this intimate posture of being in someone else's arms.

No longer caring about his injuries, she pushed him away.

Looking at Gu Chenyi's grinning face, she said coldly: "If you are afraid of pain, don't do it."

"Zizi." The incoming call vibrated.

The husband's note on the screen is too eye-catching.

Mu Yuan's heart trembled for no reason.

Like doing something wrong.

But she didn't do anything wrong...

She quickly glanced at Gu Chenyi, hurried to the side, and swiped to answer the call.

"Hello?"

Huo Min's cold voice was like a deep, silent pool: "You're not in the office, are you home?"

Mu Yuan paused. Didn't he go to look for Tang Nana? How did he know she was not in the office?

Mu Yuan caught a glimpse of Gu Chenyi staring at her intently.

She was on guard, afraid that Gu Chenyi would find out something, so she lowered her voice and said, "Yeah, I'm going home."

Anyway, Huo Min asked this, which proved that he was not at home. Mu Yuan, who was too lazy to explain, just said it.

There was silence for a few moments.

Mu Yuan, who didn't hear the voice, thought the call was hung up. Confused, he moved the phone away, and after making sure that the call was still ongoing, he hurriedly said "Hello?" twice.

She's lying again.

Huo Min looked at her opposite him with gloomy eyes.

He knew they had met three times.

What about without his knowledge? How many times did they meet privately?

Where did you meet?

Do we hug each other like today?

The thought of her just waking up from his bed and immediately throwing herself into the arms of another man.

Huo Min raised the corner of his mouth and laughed at himself: He must have a masochistic problem. He knew that she was with another man, but he still called her stubbornly, hoping to hear from her that the truth was not what he saw.

But unfortunately, this is the reality.

She fell in love with another man.

Still don't like him.

The gloomy air before a rainstorm makes people feel depressed.

Huo Min took a deep breath silently: "Okay."

Mu Yuan asked casually, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"You weren't looking for me?"

Mu Yuan choked.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

She no longer had the urge to make the call, and said vaguely, "Nothing."

There was silence on the phone again.

Mu Yuan tried to probe: "Then it's alright, I'll just hang up first?"

"Mu Yuan!"

She was startled by Gu Chenyi's shout and hung up without waiting for Huo Min's reply.

Turning around, he said innocently, "I just wanted to ask if you still want to eat? If not, the boss will close the table."

It's pure nonsense.

She glanced at the phone screen... Huo Min probably didn't hear that sound just now, right?

She raised her eyes and met Gu Chenyi's straight gaze. Her wandering thoughts came to a halt because they had to discuss compensation.

She doesn't like to owe favors to others.

Mu Yuan sat back down, his mind clear: "If you don't tell me your daily salary, then I can only calculate it based on my own."

Gu Chenyi didn't respond and tried to test the waters: "Was the person who called you just now your boyfriend?"

He still remembered the last time she was with Huo Min.

Everyone knows what a dazzling light Huo Min is.

Gu Chenyi felt strong competitive pressure.

Mu Yuan raised her eyebrows, and her first reaction was: Could it be that he saw the caller ID?

But the next second, because he was asking about her boyfriend instead of her husband, she dismissed this speculation.

Thinking quickly, she admitted, "Yes."

Gu Chenyi's expression froze instantly: "I don't believe it, you are lying to me again."

Mu Yuan: "...What good would it be for me to lie to you?"

"You, you..." Gu Chenyi couldn't argue with her and crossed his arms: "Let me see the photo first! Couples always have intimate photos, right?"

"Why should I show it to you?"

"Because I don't believe what you say."

"Believe it or not, to make a long story short, I'm making 1,000 a day. Judging by the severity of your injury, it should take at least 15 days for the scab to heal, but I'm just going to calculate it for a whole month, which is 30,000. Okay, I'll transfer the money to you."

She obviously wanted to distance herself from him again.

Gu Chenyi didn't want to.

He pulled a long face and said, "Do you think I'm short of money?"

Mu Yuan said calmly: "Whether you are lacking or not is your business, but whether I compensate you or not is my business."

Gu Chenyi thought of something and raised the corner of his lips: "Money compensation is too insincere. If you want compensation, you need action."

Mu Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then said cautiously: "Tell me first."

PARKING LOT.

Huo Min threw the seafood porridge into the trash can.

With a clang.

My heart sank.

He leaned his fingertips against the car door and the cell phone rang again.

His expression was slightly stagnant.

After discovering that the caller was his agent, his indifferent expression became even more listless.

As soon as the call was connected, the agent's choked voice came out: "Mr. Huo, Nana took the pills again when I wasn't paying attention. I've never seen her so out of control and sad. Are you so cruel? Would you rather see her die? If you are still angry about what happened that day, I can explain. Although I was wrong, it was Mu Yuan first..."

Huo Min interrupted coldly: "You still dare to mention her?"

There was a moment of silence over there.

But the next second, Tang Nana's sobbing voice was heard: "It's Ah Min, right? It's him, right? Ah Min, how can you be so cruel! Don't you love me?"

The phone was snatched away, and there were constant cries of grief.

moment.

He said, "I'll go over there."

After saying that, he pressed his fingertip and hung up the phone.

Drive to the hospital.

At the door of the ward.

When Han Zhu saw Huo Min show up, he felt a little disappointed.

It's over.

This relationship won't end.

He complained in his heart, but when Huo Min gave him a cold glance, he instantly felt that his thoughts were seen through.

She became honest and walked over to him, reporting in a low voice: "Boss Huo, I've already made the conditions, but she..."

Huo Min put one hand in his pocket, his whole body cold and expressionless: "I understand."

See him opening the door.

Han Zhu couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Huo, will you stick to it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he knew he had crossed the line, but he really couldn't bear to see him continue to sink deeper into the quagmire.

But Huo Min glanced at him sideways, as if talking to himself, and seemed to be asking him: "Is there any meaning in persisting?"

Han Zhu was stunned, and inexplicably felt that he was shrouded in a trace of... frustration?

He hasn't thought about it carefully yet.

Huo Min pushed the door open and walked in.

Kaojiu's gaze fell into nothingness, so much so that he suspected it was an illusion.

Chen Zhoufeng and the evidence were taken away by the police, and lawsuits are currently pending.

In K Laboratory, everyone gathered together and cheered for this gratifying event.

The deputy dean put his hands on his hips and breathed a sigh of relief: "This is what they call "if you do something unjust, you will eventually perish! Awesome!"

Someone suggested: "If you ask me, to celebrate the fact that we've eliminated a major enemy, shouldn't we have a big meal?!"

“Yeah!”, “I agree!”

Everyone cast their sharp eyes towards the deputy dean.

Being stared at expectantly by everyone, the deputy dean raised his hand cheerfully: "Rub! Rub as much as you want! Eat whatever you want! There's enough funding! Anyway, the new funding group has been approved, so it's double happiness!"

"Yeah!" everyone cheered.

Knowing how things would develop, Mu Yuan, who was calmly repotting the new plant, was patted on the shoulder.

She glanced sideways, meeting the overly cheerful smile of the deputy dean, and immediately felt a pang in her heart: "Don't smile so creepily so early in the morning."

"Hey, we're having dinner tonight. How about you invite Mr. Huo? It would also help resolve the conflict you had last time."

Mu Yuan paused.

Then she remembered her 'husband' who didn't come home that night.

He didn't go home last night. You can guess where he went with your toes.

And invite him? He's busy with his girlfriend, right?

Mu Yuan decisively refused: "You think too highly of me. I'm extremely busy, how can I have time to attend our department's party?"
