Chapter 1995: No Future
I haven't relied on medication to help me sleep for several days, but after going through so much tonight, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fall asleep naturally.
Mu Xin sighed, opened the medicine box, and was about to take the medicine when there was a knock on the door.
She stiffened and looked towards the door: "Who."
"It's me, are you asleep?"
Mu Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the voice of her cousin Shi Shenyuan.
She put on a long-sleeved shirt over her pajamas, then went to open the door and asked him with a smile why he hadn't gone to bed yet.
Shi Chenyuan said that they had just met briefly and didn't talk much, so he came to see her before going to bed.
Mu Xin welcomed him in.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shi Chenyuan got straight to the point: "When I called you, you were about to go home. Why did you suddenly come to the manor?"
Before, Shi Chenyuan called Mu Xin on the train and asked her where she was.
Mu Xin is a winemaker. When she received Shi Chenyuan's call, she had just returned from a winery abroad and arrived at Haicheng Airport. She was originally going home.
But who would have thought that after she hung up the phone with Shi Chenyuan, her uncle called and asked her to come to the manor because there were some problems with the newly adopted skin-immersion brewing technology and he hoped she would come and see what was going on.
So Mu Xin came, but she didn't expect that Fu Zichen was also there.
Her uncle knew about her relationship with Fu Zichen, so he probably wouldn't deliberately bring them together. It might just be a coincidence, or a bad fate...
"If you had told me on the phone that he was there, I would definitely not have come," said Mu Xin.
Shi Chenyuan sighed. He didn't mention meeting Fu Zichen on the train because he heard her say that she was going home. Moreover, he was not sure that Fu Zichen would come to the manor at that time.
Then he looked at Mu Xin's eyes again, "So red, are you crying?"
Mu Xin laughed and said, "When I was washing my hair, the shampoo got into my eyes."
Shi Chenyuan nodded, "If he bullies you, tell me."
"He doesn't have the guts, don't worry."
Shi Chenyuan looked at her wrist again: "What's wrong with this injury?"
Mu Xin held her wrist to cover the bruise, and said with a helpless smile: "Don't mention it, I was confused just now and squeezed my arm when I closed the door."
In fact, that was the scar caused by Fu Zichen's grip. That bastard was too rough today and showed no mercy to her at all.
For a moment, she felt like she was going to die.
But she didn't want Shi Chenyuan to know what Fu Zichen had just done to her.
What's more, she didn't have the determination to push Fu Zichen away just now. She endured his invasion with a morbid and self-torturing mentality.
Even though she knew that he was just unwilling and possessive, and that he didn't want her anymore and didn't want her to be with another man, she still couldn't refuse.
It's like an addiction.
An addiction she thought she had given up, but which could easily come back...
What a loser.
But no matter what, I can't tell cousin Shen Yuan. If he finds out, he will definitely destroy Fu Zichen.
When Fu Zichen ran away from his marriage, cousin Shen Yuan brought his younger brother Rong Ye and beat Fu Zichen up.
The Fu family therefore suppressed the Shi family in the business world, but in the end the elders of the two families met and let the matter go because of their past friendship.
Although the two families did not officially open fire, they had almost no contact after that.
So Mu Xin was actually quite surprised when her uncle invited Fu Zichen to the manor today.
However, she was too lazy to think about the reason. It was probably a business matter.
For the sake of common interests, it is not impossible for the two families to make peace.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep. You should leave now. Your girlfriend doesn't know anyone here. Go back and keep her company."
"She's a stranger in this place?"
Shi Chenyuan smiled and said that his daughter Xiaoyu had become quite familiar with the chef. There was a vegetarian grilled steak for dinner, which she found delicious. After dinner, she grabbed a small notebook and went to ask for the recipe.
Mu Xin couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "It shows that this girl is studious."
Shi Chenyuan shook his head helplessly: "I'm just a greedy cat, thinking about how to eat every day."
As they talked, they walked to the door of the suite together.
Mu Xin said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Shi Chenyuan nodded: "As long as you are alright, I will go catch the greedy cat."
Mu Xin smiled and closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, her shoulders slumped and the smile on her face slowly faded.
She returned to the bed, took out a pill, swallowed it directly, then turned off the light and prepared to go to sleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, everything in the bathroom came back to her, but she immediately shook her head and told herself to treat everything that had just happened as a dream.
The drug began to take effect, her head became dizzy, her consciousness became confused, and she gradually fell into sleep.
I don’t know how long I slept, but my stomach suddenly ached and I woke up. I looked at the time and it was one o’clock in the morning.
She sat up and relaxed for a while, then felt dry in the mouth again, so she decided to go to the small kitchen on the second floor to get some hot water to drink and warm her stomach.
So he got out of bed, covered his aching stomach, and walked out of the bedroom.
When she arrived at the small kitchen, her uncle Shi Guangyuan was drinking at the bar.
"Uncle, you haven't slept yet."
Her uncle looked at her and said with a smile, "Drinking some wine will help you sleep. Are you waking up from a nap?"
Mu Xin nodded and said that she came to get some water.
Her uncle helped her get out the water cup and filled it with hot water.
She felt uncomfortable in her stomach and wanted to go back quickly. She picked up the water cup and said, "You drink slowly. I'll go back to my room first."
"Mu Xin, wait a minute, I have something to ask you." Her uncle waved to her.
So Mu Xin stopped again, walked to the bar, and sat on the bar stool opposite Shi Guangyuan.
"Ask, uncle."
"Do you still like Zichen?"
Mu Xin's heart sank, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Shi Guangyuan took a sip of wine and said, "Before your cousin Xiaoran passed away, there were some problems in the relationship between Shen Yuan's mother and me. Later, due to my negligence, Xiaoran's death was indirectly caused, which became the fuse for my divorce from your aunt..."
He sighed, took another sip of wine, and continued, "I've felt guilty and regretted all these years. If we had resolved the misunderstanding between us earlier, we wouldn't have ended up getting divorced."
He looked at Mu Xin, "What does your uncle mean by telling you this? I watched Zichen grow up, and he was your father's student. I've never doubted his character, so I never believed the rumors. You two had such a good relationship before, and he's still single now. Your uncle just hopes that you two can have a good ending, and don't wait until you're my age and regret it."
"But I'm already married..."
Shi Guangyuan shook his head helplessly: "Girl, do you really think you can fool me?"
Mu Xin suddenly raised her head.
Shi Guangyuan said, "I know that your marriage is just a formality. You two are already going through the divorce procedures."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure at the corner of the corridor swayed slightly.
