Seeing Tonghua wavering, Chen Muzhi became curious: "What happened when you just returned home? You don't even know how long it will take you to get home?"
Tonghua explained to him helplessly: "That's not my home. I'm just staying at a friend's house temporarily."
"So, you had a conflict with your friend, so you didn't dare to go upstairs..." Chen Muzhi glanced upstairs and guessed, "You, don't have a place to live?!"
Tonghua bit her lower lip and lowered her head to look at her toes which had turned red from the cold. She had just come down in a hurry and hadn't even had time to change her shoes. Several of her toes were exposed and were immediately frozen as soon as she went out.
Chen Muzhi naturally saw that scene following Tonghua's gaze, and seemed to understand something.
At this time, Zhou Rongsheng also went downstairs. He looked around and saw the fairy tale.
"I'm sorry, Tonghua. I was too presumptuous just now. Grandma asked me to take you back..."
When Zhou Rongsheng got closer, he saw a man standing behind Tonghua, and he immediately recognized Chen Muzhi. He was the man who sent Tonghua back yesterday.
Tonghua said with a resolute tone, "Thank you for taking me in during this time. I shouldn't have disturbed you for so long. Now it's time for me to go."
Zhou Rongsheng was obviously anxious. Although he brought his grandmother here just to make Tonghua agree to her proposal for his grandmother's sake, he swore that he had never thought of driving her away if she did not agree to his proposal.
"Where are you going... I didn't do that on purpose... You're all alone here, you don't know anyone, and you don't have a place to stay. You should come back!"
As he said that, Zhou Rongsheng wanted to go forward and pull Tonghua, but Chen Muzhi suddenly blocked him between the two of them.
Chen Muzhi's face was still nonchalant: "Who said fairy tales don't recognize people? I am one of them! As for where to live, don't worry, I will make sure they are properly accommodated."
After saying that, he straddled the car, sat on it, raised his chin, gave Tonghua a look, and motioned her to get in.
Tonghua whispered "sorry" to Zhou Rongsheng, got in the car and prepared to leave. After all, she really couldn't continue to face Zhou Rongsheng and his grandmother after rejecting him.
Maybe grandma was magnanimous and didn't blame her for rejecting her grandson, but Tonghua could never get over that hurdle in her heart.
Along the way, Tonghua sat in the back without saying a word, tilting her head to look at the scenery passing by. But in fact, her eyes were not focused, and she was obviously thinking about something. She didn't even know where Chen Muzhi took her.
After the car stopped, Chen Muzhi whistled, completely bringing his fairy-tale thoughts back to reality.
As soon as he got out of the car, Tonghua cheered up and said, "You helped me so much today. I don't know how to repay you."
Chen Muzhi raised his lips and said with a sly smile: "Then I'll pledge my love to you!"
. . .
Chen Muzhi laughed: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." Then, he said seriously, "It's so cold now, you should go into the hotel first."
Tonghua looked forward and saw that Chen Muzhi had sent her to the door of a five-star hotel. Tonghua smiled bitterly: "I can't stay in a hotel in my current situation. That's why I have to stay at a friend's house... But I will find a way next time... Thank you!"
Seeing that Tonghua was ready to solve this problem on his own, Chen Muzhi was unhappy: "Tell me, you are penniless now and can't stay in a hotel. How are you going to solve this problem? Would you rather sleep on the streets than ask me for help? Don't you trust me that much?!"
Tonghua tried to explain to him: "That's not what I meant. I just don't want to trouble you with my own affairs anymore."
Obviously, she and Chen Muzhi had only met three times, but she had unknowingly caused him too much trouble. Because of her mess, he even missed such an important game today. Tonghua really didn't have the face to ask him for help anymore.
Chen Muzhi took another step and sat in the car, saying neatly: "Get in!"
Since the other party was so eager to help her, Tonghua stopped being pretentious and followed Chen Muzhi into the car.
Not long after driving, Chen Muzhi brought Tonghua to a small villa on the second floor. After opening the door, he said to Tonghua, "This is an empty house of mine. I don't usually live here, but I come here occasionally. You can stay here for now."
Tonghua looked at the spacious and bright house and felt embarrassed to live in someone else's house for free, so he suggested paying the rent according to the market price.
As a result, Chen Muzhi acted as if he had heard some huge joke, and said with disdain: "How can an ordinary employee like you afford to rent a villa?"
"Forehead..."
There's no need to attack people so bluntly.
Chen Muzhi ordered: "Okay, you stay here first, I'll go out first."
Tonghua nodded slightly obediently.
After seeing Chen Muzhi leave, Tonghua's tense nerves finally relaxed and she sat down on the sofa. No matter what, she was temporarily settled.
When she relaxed, she realized that her waist was sore. After all, she was forced to ride a motorcycle all afternoon.
The culprit was naturally that person. Tonghua couldn't help but think of Qin Zun again. She wondered if he would be furious if he didn't find her. Why was he so persistent in wanting to find her? They clearly had no connection anymore...
At this moment, Qin Zun, the person that Tonghua was thinking about, suddenly coughed a few times, which immediately attracted the attention of Assistant Zhou. Without saying a word, he immediately took out a bag of cold medicine from the drawer, poured hot water into it, and handed it to Qin Zun's mouth.
"Mr. Qin, please take your medicine."
The whole process takes no more than thirty seconds.
Qin Zun stared at Assistant Zhou for a long time before taking the cup and drinking the medicine in one gulp.
"If you were this efficient at finding people, you wouldn't have bothered me to stay in Rongcheng for so long!"
Assistant Zhou lowered his head and said yes repeatedly.
It was because he knew that his boss had lost the president's wife and was unhappy, so in order not to add fuel to the fire, he was so considerate.
Assistant Zhou was also helpless.
"Did you find any information about that car?"
Assistant Zhou raised his head and replied calmly, "These heavy motorcycles without license plates are usually used in racing. And according to information I've found, there's a mountain racing competition taking place in the west of the city today."
"Oh?! Looks like I have to go to the west side of the city myself."
