Chapter 142 Mu Yunzi Moves Out
Song Yilin went to the company and told Xu Qingmin about Mu Yunzi's reaction.
Xu Qingmin also realized that things were starting to go wrong.
Xu Qingmin looked serious, made a phone call, and arranged for someone to keep a close eye on Mu Yunzi, including who she was in contact with.
Song Yilin, who was originally sitting on the sofa, moved to sit in front of Xu Qingmin.
"Qingmin, did I cause trouble? I shouldn't have said those things to Mu Yunzi."
Xu Qingmin got up from his seat and carried Song Yilin back to the cubicle.
I gently placed her on the bed, and then lay down beside her.
Talking in bed made Song Yilin less nervous, and it sounded like a casual conversation between a married couple.
Xu Qingmin lay on the bed and said to Song Yilin, "You did nothing wrong. You were just trying to give advice. But Mu Yunzi, and her sister, if they had any moral compass, wouldn't do something like climbing into someone's bed."
"But I knew all along that Mu Yunzi was a person with warped values. I should have stopped lecturing her earlier. Now she's holding a grudge against me. The key is that I don't know what she's up to now. It's not reasonable to guard against thieves every day."
Xu Qingmin casually played with her hair: "Don't blame yourself, it's not true. She will make a move sooner or later about kicking Mu Yunzi out. If she continues to live in the Xu family, she can still fantasize that she is still the daughter of Mu Yun Group. Once she leaves, her dream will be shattered, and she will take action sooner or later."
Although Xu Ming made things difficult for Mu Yunzi while she was in the Xu family, Old Master Xu had instructed Manager He to treat them well. Therefore, Mu Yunzi's life in the Xu family was not bad compared to others.
In addition, Mu Yunzi's income from the Xu family can support her high consumption. She has not worked for more than ten years. Suddenly entering the workplace to find a job with a monthly income of four or five thousand, competing with thousands of college students, she will realize the cruelty of society and resent the people who drove her out.
Perhaps she has spent all the retirement money Song Yilin gave her while she was away, and she might not be able to survive.
After getting off work, Song Yilin went to the hospital. Her mother-in-law was recovering well and would be discharged in a few days.
There has been no rejection so far.
After leaving the ward, I ran into Ji Weichen, who was making his rounds.
Song Yilin nodded to Ji Weichen, politely said goodbye, and prepared to leave.
Ji Weichen's voice came from behind: "Song Yilin, would you like to have a cup of coffee together?"
Song Yilin was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant and nodded.
When she was with Xu Qingmin during her student days, she didn't have much interaction with Ji Weichen.
She had no reason to refuse. Ji Weichen had just helped her mother-in-law with surgery, and if she were to be coy and refuse when he invited her to have a cup of coffee, it would be too much of a betrayal.
Ji Weichen took her to a coffee shop next to the hospital.
Ji Weichen ordered an iced Americano, while Song Yilin, who doesn't actually like coffee, casually ordered a cappuccino.
The coffee had been served, but Ji Weichen still didn't say much. Song Yilin took the initiative and asked, "Dr. Ji, what's wrong with my mother-in-law's illness?"
Ji Weichen put down his coffee and said somewhat awkwardly, "No, your mother-in-law seems to be recovering quite well so far. If there are no issues with rejection, then there shouldn't be any problems."
Song Yilin tactfully took a sip of coffee, waiting for Ji Weichen to explain why he had asked her out today.
This coffee was arranged by Ji Weichen, so Song Yilin wouldn't take the initiative to speak.
Ji Weichen's silence is probably just his style.
Ji Weichen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are you with Xu Qingmin because he saved your grandmother?"
So it turns out they're on Xu Qingmin's side, here to hold the door for their good buddy?
Song Yilin answered truthfully, "There was that opportunity, but the formal decision to marry him was due to something else?"
"So, Miss Song, you're someone who likes to repay kindness? You were like that when you married your ex-husband, and you are now too?"
When Ji Weichen said this, his eyes were full of expectation. He seemed to be hoping that Song Yilin was with Xu Qingmin out of gratitude.
It's probably just a misperception. Xu Qingmin is his good friend, and she probably hopes that she's with Xu Qingmin because she genuinely likes him, not out of gratitude.
"No, when we first got together, there was gratitude, but there was also love. Now, it's because of love, and also because Xu Qingmin is someone I can spend my life with."
Ji Weichen picked up his coffee and took another sip: "Really? Then I wish you and Xu Qingmin happiness."
Song Yilin picked up her coffee: "I hope you can attend the wedding."
Ji Weichen had never found an iced Americano so bitter. He gave Song Yilin a smile and said, "Definitely. Xu Qingmin will probably ask me to be his best man."
Xu Qingmin's close friends are probably all married. Her best friend, Gu Sinan, is married, and the only one she knows who isn't is Ji Weichen.
"Thank you. When you get married, I'll have my daughter be your flower girl."
Ji Weichen joked, "I'm against marriage."
When others say they are against marriage, Song Yilin would take it as a joke, but when Ji Weichen says it, it seems very credible.
Ji Weichen's home has a style that suggests he's destined to live alone for the rest of his life.
"Being single is fine. There are millions of people in this world, and there are millions of different ways to live. Marriage is not necessarily happiness, and choosing to be single is also for the sake of happiness."
Ji Weichen tapped Song Yilin's coffee cup against his own: "Great minds think alike."
After leaving the hospital, Song Yilin returned to the Xu family's old house. Now, because she needs to travel between the hospital and the company, and the Xu family's old house is closer to the hospital, she lives there for convenience.
Xu Ming, who used to be cold to her, now greets her occasionally.
When I got back, it was 11 p.m., but I ran into Mu Yunzi carrying big bags and small packages of luggage and getting into a taxi.
Song Yilin asked, puzzled, "Why so late? You could have waited until tomorrow during the day to leave."
Mu Yunzi stubbornly said, "No need. You don't need to pretend. You rushed back at this time just to see me make a fool of myself."
Song Yilin was speechless: "I don't have the mood or the energy to laugh at you."
She suggested that Mu Yunzi leave tomorrow, simply because Mu Yunzi was a woman who hadn't lived outside for many years and it wasn't safe for her to go out at this time. But in Mu Yunzi's eyes, there was only hatred.
"You're not in the mood? Then why did you come back at this hour? It's 11 p.m. Don't tell me you've been working overtime until now. You're the CEO of a branch of the Xu Group now. Do you need to work overtime until now?"
“Your suspicions are somewhat reasonable, but I really don’t think so. If it’s confirmed that it’s safe to go out carrying big bags at this time, then I wish you a safe journey.”
"Song Yilin, take off your hypocritical mask. Didn't you force me to go out with all these bags?"
Song Yilin asked herself if she was a kind person; she was just instinctively greeting someone she knew at this time.
