Perhaps the sunlight streaming in through the window was too intense, making her, who had just woken up, uncomfortable, and she quickly closed her eyes again.

"Whoosh!"

She had just closed her eyes when she heard someone draw the curtains.

Who is so thoughtful?

Where is she now?

And everything that happened last night...

After fully regaining consciousness, memories that had been tormented by the effects of the drug and forced to the back of her mind resurfaced, causing her to suddenly open her eyes and look down at her own body.

At this moment, neither Mo Jingjing nor Major General Mo could accept being insulted by others.

fine.

Aside from some unexplained ligature marks, she suffered no other injuries.

Moreover, judging from the surroundings, she must have been taken to the hospital.

"Don't worry, you're awake. No one dared to touch your body without your permission. It's just that the medicine you drank was too strong, and the journey to the hospital was delayed. Current medical methods can't completely remove the medicine, so some is still inside. Your body suffered a bit last night."

Having taken in all of the other party's actions, Su Mu took the initiative to speak.

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingjing looked up and met Su Mu's face. "So, you were the one who appeared just in time to save me yesterday!"

She is quite sensitive to people's scents. Yesterday, in a hazy state, she thought she smelled Su Mu's scent!

"It's me." Su Mu didn't hide it. "So, are you planning to leave while I'm gone? How much money are you leaving me for medical expenses?"

It's obvious he's still angry about what happened last time.

"I……"

Unexpectedly, he asked so bluntly, leaving Mo Jingjing speechless for a moment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Su Mu, who had just sat down, suddenly leaned forward, abruptly closing the distance between him and Mo Jingjing.

Today, Su Mu's actions and words were completely unexpected by Mo Jingjing. She admitted that she was somewhat flustered at this moment.

This is terrible.

Why are her cheeks so hot and her heart beating so fast at this moment?

There must be lingering poison!

She deliberately avoided looking at Su Mu, secretly finding an excuse for her unusual physical condition.

Just then, Su Mu spoke again, his voice magnetic and soothing, very pleasant to listen to, "I remember you said last time that you were asexual and would never fall in love with anyone, so why did you run away so fast? Are you feeling guilty, or did you realize after saying those words that you had already started to like me without even realizing it?"

"No! That's not it! I just feel that one shouldn't accept favors without doing them. At most, we can only be considered friends, and I have no reason to keep accepting your kindness."

Upon hearing Su Mu's words, Mo Jingjing immediately retorted.

Are you sure?

Su Mu pressed for an answer.

"Of course, I'm sure!"

Mo Jingjing answered affirmatively.

"Alright, since you're friends and have nothing to hide, you shouldn't run away. General Mo, have you forgotten what you said yourself? Only the guilty and the weak choose to run away."

"You can pay me back the medical expenses, but what about the debt of gratitude you owe me, and the life-saving favor you showed me? How do you plan to repay that?"

After posing two questions in a row, Su Mu seemed to have no need for Mo Jingjing's answer and simply turned and left.

Watching the man's departing figure, Mo Jingjing suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

For a fleeting moment, her reason told her that Su Mu was right.

Since she has no guilty conscience and doesn't like him, she shouldn't hide or run away.

That's the behavior of a coward.

Just then, the sound of another door opening rang in her ears, causing her to immediately turn her head and look over, thinking that Su Mu had returned.

A fleeting look of disappointment quickly crossed her eyes.

It wasn't Su Mu, it was Cheng Meng.

"Sister Meng."

She called out and prepared to sit up in bed.

Seeing this, Cheng Meng quickly took a few steps to help her, and also brought the breakfast that Su Mu had already prepared for Mo Jingjing to her, urging her to eat it.

"You suffered so much last night, you must be very weak. We still need to catch our flight this afternoon, so eat more. This is a medicated ointment that Su Mu specially asked the doctor to prescribe for you to reduce swelling and bruising. I heard it works really well. I'll apply it for you in a bit."

Cheng Meng looked at Mo Jingjing with heartache and secretly blamed herself.

Health is the foundation of everything.

Having already etched this sentence into her motto, she is particularly obedient and self-disciplined when it comes to eating.

One should not speak while eating or sleeping.

After finishing her breakfast, Mo Jingjing turned to Cheng Meng and asked about what had happened yesterday. "Sister Meng, actually, everything that happened yesterday had nothing to do with you. I was too hasty, which gave them an opportunity. However, after I lost my temper yesterday, I don't remember anything that happened. Can you tell me in detail why Su Mu suddenly appeared?"

She wanted to know everything that happened yesterday.

"About what happened yesterday... Actually, I noticed something was off after you left. You know how limited my network is. I happened to have work to discuss with Su Mu at the time, so..."

Since Mo Jingjing asked, Cheng Meng didn't hide anything and told Mo Jingjing about what happened yesterday, roughly what happened.

Just as Su Mu had instructed, say what should be said, and don't say what shouldn't be said.

The parts that shouldn't be mentioned include the more gory ones.

besides……

The entertainment company that Mr. Ma used to run now belongs to Mo Jingjing.

However, for the time being, I'll leave this matter to her to handle.

Anyway, what Su Mu told her at the time was that the matter was over, that President Ma had received the punishment he deserved, and that the company was a form of compensation for the harm Mo Jingjing had suffered.

However, some legal procedures are not yet completed, so I cannot tell Mo Jingjing for the time being.

Although what she heard from Cheng Meng was an abridged version, she still felt the danger that had befallen her yesterday and the importance of Su Mu's timely appearance.

And his dedication to her.

"It seems he really is a good person, Sister Meng. Maybe I was wrong last time. Just like he said, if I were truly innocent, I shouldn't have avoided him."

If she isn't as open and honest as she seems, then she shouldn't hide away; she should confront her own feelings and face them squarely.

"Um"

Hearing what Mo Jingjing said, Cheng Meng's mind went blank for a moment.

Therefore, all she wanted to know was everything about Su Mu from yesterday.

Seeing Mo Jingjing's serious expression, Cheng Meng suddenly felt that her innocent little sister was walking step by step into a pit dug by someone.

And they were unaware of it.

A true movie star, indeed a movie star.

After resting at the hospital for about two more hours, Mo Jingjing's body had recovered by about half.

The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was really unpleasant, so at Mo Jingjing's repeated requests, Cheng Meng accompanied her home after her discharge.
