Chapter 311 He and Lu Yiran know each other
Mu Nanyan's fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge of the phone, and the cool metal touch calmed her down a little.
She opened her eyes, looked at the mottled wall of the stairwell, and spoke in a deliberately soft voice:
"Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to hear your voice."
Tang Yutong's crisp laughter came from the other end of the phone:
"Come on, when did you become so cheesy?"
Tang Yutong's laughter suddenly stopped, and turned into a serious tone: "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Tang Yutong knew Mu Nanyan too well. She was a very strong-willed person and was used to bearing everything alone. Just like when Mu Nanyan suddenly went abroad, she only found out about it after Mu Nanyan had settled down in Country F.
At this moment, Mu Nanyan's abnormal hesitation to speak made Tang Yutong feel ominous.
Mu Nanyan took a deep breath, her knuckles turning white from the exertion.
She finally made up her mind that she must tell Tang Yutong about this.
If it was a misunderstanding, it could be resolved; if it was true... at least it would allow her to be on guard and not get deeper into trouble.
"I do have something I want to tell you. It's about your boyfriend."
Tang Yutong's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. About her boyfriend? Yanyan had only met Chu Ci once, so how could she know anything about him?
Her voice tightened unconsciously:
"What is it?"
"He and Lu Yiran know each other..."
Tang Yutong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this:
"Phew~ You scared me to death. I thought it was something else. They're both from the Beijing business community. Isn't it normal for them to know each other?"
"But what if I say they don't just know each other, but are childhood friends?"
Mu Nanyan spoke word by word, and then told her own guesses and what happened today.
“…”
"That's about it. Has he ever taken you to meet his other brothers before? Or has he ever mentioned Lu Yiran to you?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Tang Yutong's face turned pale instantly, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
She tried desperately to recall every moment she had spent with Chu Ci, but no, not even once...
He never took the initiative to bring her to meet his friends, let alone mentioned the name Lu Yiran.
"Actually... Chu Ci and I's relationship wasn't stable before. I never mentioned wanting to meet his brother, and he didn't..."
Tang Yutong's voice suddenly became very soft, as if it came from far away. At the end of her speech, her voice was almost inaudible.
The phone fell into silence, with only a faint sound of electricity proving that the call had not been hung up.
Mu Nanyan's heart was in a knot, she seemed to see Tang Yutong's thin shoulders trembling silently.
"Yutong..."
She called out softly, but suddenly choked.
At this moment, Mu Nanyan couldn't find a word to comfort others. All words seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.
"I'm fine."
Tang Yutong suddenly spoke, her voice was unexpectedly calm, like a pool of stagnant water, without a trace of ripples.
"I will get to the bottom of this matter. Thank you for telling me, Yanyan."
She paused, her voice suddenly softening.
Mu Nanyan keenly caught the forced strength in her tone, but could not hear any other flaws.
She could only say "hmm" softly, and added:
"Call me anytime if you need anything."
"good."
The busy tone sounded particularly harsh in the empty stairwell.
Mu Nanyan remained in the posture of answering the phone, the cold touch of the phone still lingering on her fingertips.
I don't know when it started raining outside the window, and the raindrops hit the glass heavily, like someone crying silently.
In the dim light, her shadow was stretched out very long, and was reflected alone on the mottled wall.
The sound of rain became heavier, and Mu Nanyan suddenly remembered that Tang Yutong liked rainy days the most.
She always said that the sound of rain was the most beautiful lullaby. I wonder if it’s raining in the capital right now...
