Money swindled?
Mu Nannan suddenly realized, "That's right, he tricked me out of that 500,000 yuan, I should get it back."
Jian Yu nodded slowly, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"How do you want it?"
"Just ask for it back. If they don't, find a lawyer to help you get it back."
Upon hearing that she needed to hire a lawyer, Mu Nannan immediately started calculating the costs using her phone's calculator.
Jian Yu saw that she had entered several large sums of money and asked, "What is this 128,000?"
Mu Nannan's eyes darted around, "It's the money I spent at the KTV that day."
"......", Jian Yu, a group of people who only exchanged gifts worth 100 yuan each, yet spent 128,000 yuan?
“What did you do?” Jian Yu asked, enunciating each word clearly.
"Lu Wei and his group ordered several bottles of Martell Noblige and a bottle of Louis XIII."
Jian Yu doesn't know much about alcohol, but several bottles of wine that are so expensive are clearly not something you'd find in an ordinary KTV.
Even if they did, they wouldn't recommend it to poor students like Lu Wei.
"Did they order it on purpose?"
Mu Nannan nodded.
Jian Yu thought they went to the KTV just to sing and drink beer and soft drinks, but he didn't expect that they were deliberately going there to broaden their horizons.
There was also a sum of 160,000 yuan, which Jian Yu didn't ask about, but guessed was the cost of the birthday banquet.
"You've only been together for such a short time, and you've already spent over 960,000 yuan on Lu Wei?"
What a sucker! No wonder he spent all of his seven million yuan savings in three years of dating.
In the end, they couldn't even afford the tuition.
Mu Nannan lowered her head, not daring to look at Jian Yu.
Seeing her like this, Jian Yu didn't want to scold her anymore. "Let's go have lunch first. After lunch, I'll take you to a law firm and find a lawyer to help you get your money back."
Mu Nannan responded with a muffled "Mmm".
The computer screen was covered by the caller ID. Jian Yu peeked out and saw that it was still Mu's father.
Mu Nannan glanced at it and then casually exited the page.
Jian Yu saw that the number on the phone icon was 55, all of which were calls from the Mu family.
Lu Wei neither called nor sent a message.
Jian Yu wasn't sure if he would give up so easily, so she tentatively asked, "If Lu Wei really breaks up with Hu Die and comes back to pursue you, would you still agree to be with him?"
Mu Nannan froze, and after several minutes, she finally spoke, "I don't know, but I don't want to be with him anymore."
"Sure?"
Mu Nannan nodded, "Actually, I caught him chatting with people behind my back a few times, and his voice was very affectionate. I had a feeling about it at the time, but I forgot about it after he coaxed me. I thought I was just being paranoid, but it turns out I wasn't."
Messages kept coming in on Mu Nannan's phone.
They were all members of the Mu family.
Looking at the unread list that filled half the screen, Mu Nannan felt aggrieved and tears streamed down her face.
Jian Yu handed her a tissue, saying, "Don't look anymore."
Just as I finished speaking, Mu's mother called.
This time, Mu Nannan answered, "Hello?"
His voice was very nasal; you could tell he was in a bad mood just by listening.
Mu's mother's anxious voice came through, "Nan Nan, are you crying? Don't cry, Mom is here!"
Hearing her mother's comforting words, Mu Nannan burst into tears, crying out, "Waaah... Mom... Mom... Mom..."
The crying was deafening.
Jian Yu was so close that she felt a bit dizzy from the shock.
George quietly covered his ears.
Mu's mother was surprised that Mu Nannan was so aggrieved, and immediately lashed out at Mu's father beside her, "Old Mu!!! You're really something, for the sake of others, you've driven my daughter to this state! I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and let those parasites stay at home to bully my daughter."
Mu's father was also startled; Mu Nannan had never cried so sadly before.
Was the tone of his voice message too harsh?
He was annoyed by his mother's repeated phone calls, and since Mu Nannan kept ignoring the calls, he spoke without thinking.
I never expected Mu Nannan to be so heartbroken.
"Nan Nan, don't cry! Mommy is going home now, and I'll kick those people out."
"Old Mu, try saying another word to me, you son of a bitch."
“My repeated compromises have only resulted in my daughter suffering repeated grievances.”
"Fine! They can't leave, right? Nan Nan and I will go!"
Mu's father's deep voice was completely drowned out by Mu's angry mother.
Jian Yu didn't hear a single word clearly.
Not only Jian Yu, but Mu Nannan also didn't hear clearly, and just stared blankly at her phone.
After hanging up the phone, Mu's mother sent another message.
It is an address.
Then another voice message came in.
This is a three-bedroom apartment I bought. The keypad code is your birthday. I originally planned for your uncle's family to live here, but your uncle thinks it's too small and doesn't want to move out. Wait for me here; I'll be there tonight.
Mu Nannan was stunned for a long time before she reacted.
She can move out of the house and no longer live with her grandma and uncle's family.
Mu Nannan was overjoyed and grabbed Jian Yu's arm, asking, "Jian Yu, does my mother mean that I don't have to live with Grandma and the others anymore?"
Jian Yu nodded with a smile.
Mu Nannan exclaimed, "That's great!"
I quickly replied, "Okay."
Jian Yu silently recited the name of the neighborhood, knowing that it was a mid-range neighborhood.
The key issue is that it's quite far from the Mu family villa.
It's better to be further away; it's more suitable for Mu Nannan's current living situation.
Jian Yu asked Mu Nannan what she wanted to eat.
Mu Nannan thought for a moment, "Hot pot."
"Okay! Hot pot."
George nodded and entered a famous hot pot restaurant into his phone's map.
The three of them chose a private room and ordered a lot of dishes.
At first, Jianyu thought they wouldn't be able to finish it, but soon she realized she had worried too much.
Mu Nannan seemed to have channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, devouring the food with gusto.
Jian Yu glanced at George silently, and George understood, immediately going out to order a lot more dishes.
Seeing the newly served dishes, Mu Nannan felt a little embarrassed, gripped her chopsticks tightly, and secretly glanced at Jian Yu.
Jian Yu was cooking beef in a hot pot and didn't notice her gaze.
A spoonful of beef was placed on Mu Nannan's plate, and the second spoonful was given to George.
Mu Nannan looked at the beef, her eyes getting a little wet. Apart from her parents, no one served her any food.
Oh, and there's also Lu Wei.
Thinking of Lu Wei, Mu Nannan felt a little angry. Every time she ate with Lu Wei, she would order the dishes that Lu Wei liked.
Lu Wei didn't care about her tastes, which often left her hungry, forcing her to rely on snacks after meals.
When Lu Wei saw her eating snacks, he would sometimes snatch some and take them back to his dorm to eat.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, George took Jian Yu and Mu Nannan to one of the law firms that cooperated with the Huo family.
This is a top-tier law firm that handles all major cases.
Mu Nannan was assigned this minor task to an intern lawyer as practice.
Although he was an intern lawyer, he was a graduate of a prestigious university and his words and actions demonstrated professionalism.
Mu Nannan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him quickly organize the evidence materials.
After leaving the law firm, the three of them went to the neighborhood that Mu's mother had mentioned.
The landscaping in the neighborhood is quite nice.
Mu Nannan nodded in satisfaction.
The house must be cleaned regularly; it's quite clean inside.
The furniture and appliances are also complete.
Jian Yu stayed with Mu Nannan until Mu's mother returned before leaving, by which time it was already past ten o'clock at night.
When they came out, Jian Yu was a little hungry.
On George's recommendation, we chose a French restaurant for a late-night snack.
George was in charge of ordering, while Jian Yu just tilted her head curiously, looking at the pictures on the menu to try and judge how it would taste.
When Huo Qizhen and his companion came out, they saw Jian Yu with his elbows on the table, his head close to the other person's, looking at the same menu.
Jian Yu's eyes lit up, and when she saw a picture, her eyes curved slightly.
She parted her red lips slightly and said a sentence.
George then added that dish.
George pointed to the pictures behind him and asked Jian Yu what he thought.
Jian Yu nodded slightly.
These dishes were then added.
Huo Qizhen didn't know what was going on, but he felt that Jian Yu wasn't very interested in the later dishes.
She's just not good at making demands.
George didn't seem to notice either.
Staring at Jian Yu's delicate face and slender neck, Huo Qizhen's gaze grew increasingly deep. Were the two of them too close?
