Xu Xinduo and Mu Qingyi found a quiet place to chat.
They went to the tea ceremony classroom, which had a more comfortable decoration, similar to the design of a retro teahouse. There is also a separate small space in the classroom where students can take a short break even when there is no class.
Sometimes school leaders would come here to sit.
The tea ceremony teacher was quite Buddhist and had a good relationship with Shao Qinghe, so it was convenient for them to gather here after lunch.
Xu Xinduo originally didn't want to bring Tong Yan here.
But Tong Yan seemed to have done something wrong. His eyes were wandering. He didn't dare to look Xu Xinduo in the eye, but followed Xu Xinduo closely.
He looked afraid that something might happen to Xu Xinduo and he would not be able to respond immediately. He also knew that Xu Xinduo would definitely be unhappy. If he waited for Xu Xinduo to calm down, his body would also cool down, so he started to act cute from that moment on.
It is wisest to admit your mistakes as soon as possible.
Xu Xinduo and Mu Qing also sat in the small partition. Tong Yan did not participate either. He sat in the class area not far away, looked down at the teacup, reached out and touched it tentatively to see if it was hot.
Then he came over to study the equipment for making hot tea. It was obvious that he didn't know anything about the tea ceremony and wanted to drink something.
Xu Xinduo looked at Tong Yan for a while before asking Mu Qingyi, "What's the situation at home now?"
"Dad has been preparing for a project for some time and has already made some initial investments. Uncle Shen and Dad had a falling out, and the supply chain was cut off. Dad has already processed half of the materials he purchased in the early stage and cannot return them, nor can he proceed to the next step. It is considered a waste of money."
"Will it go bankrupt now?" Xu Xinduo didn't know much about this aspect and always felt that the bankruptcy was a bit too fast.
"The family business had already become a fragile shell, with insufficient income to cover expenses, and had faced a serious crisis in recent years. Dad was eager to complete this business and also wanted to work hard to ease the company's situation and make some improvements. However, an accident occurred, the initial investment could not be recovered, the supply chain was interrupted, and the capital turnover was insufficient. The losses of the previous payment can only be borne by us."
Xu Xinduo lowered her head slightly, and after a long time she asked in a heavy tone: "Have you told mom?"
"Not yet, but I guess Mom's friend will tell her. This kind of thing can't be kept secret. So far, it seems that Mom has not gone back to help Dad."
"She's not going back. I'm afraid she wants to leave half of her fortune to support you... Oh, no, we'll go to school in the future. She also wants to show me some achievements to prove herself. But I guess she's also very conflicted?"
"Dad will definitely be in debt. The company is a hot potato right now, and many friends are unwilling to lend a helping hand. Dad is currently trying to sell his house and car to pay off his debts."
Xu Xinduo tugged at the collar of her school uniform. She was wearing a sports jacket at the moment, and with the zipper pulled to the top, she could bury her chin in the clothes.
She lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "I recently accepted an endorsement, and the endorsement fee is quite high. I will get part of the endorsement fee next month. I will give you this money, and you can use it to help. When I first came back, my family also gave me money, and also paid for the nursing home fees for my grandmother. I will regard it as paying off the debt."
Mu Qing also looked at Xu Xinduo with a slightly surprised expression, then turned to look at Tong Yan.
After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Didn't Tong Yan tell you?"
"What?" Xu Xinduo opened her eyes wide, and she knew that Tong Yan was indeed involved.
Mu Qing also told Xu Xinduo about Tong Yan's plan to acquire the company, and Xu Xinduo fell silent.
Tong Yan's intention was to make Mu's father lose everything, and then the Tong family would come forward to buy out the Mu's company. The company would no longer belong to the Mu family, and at most Mu's father would no longer be in so much debt.
After the company was acquired, Mu's father's assets were probably only enough to buy a house at a relatively affordable price outside the Third Ring Road. It’s not certain whether you can even have a car at that time, let alone a private driver.
At his age, he has suddenly experienced such ups and downs, and it is unknown whether he can make a comeback. I guess I can only go out and find a job. I am no longer a wealthy man and can only live an ordinary life.
What suffers most is probably the heart.
He is a lonely man, his children ignore him, his wife doesn't want him, it's unknown whether he can cheer up.
The Tong family will help run this company, and after Mu Qingyi graduates from university, they will arrange for Mu Qingyi to work in this company. When the profit is calculated, the company will be returned to Mu Qingyi if it is high enough.
It can only be returned to Mu Qingyi alone.
If Mu Qingyi's performance is not good, he will not be able to take the company back.
During this period, the company's profits over the years belonged to the Tong family, and when Mu Qingyi used the profits to redeem it, the amount of money was doubled, which was enough for Mu Qingyi to work hard for several years.
The Tong family didn’t suffer too much.
Xu Xinduo glanced at Tong Yan again, and then asked Mu Qingyi: "Do you agree?"
"If you are embarrassed, I can think of another way." Mu Qing also respected Xu Xinduo's opinion more.
"Let's do it." After Xu Xinduo finished speaking, he reached out and picked up the teacup and took a sip. "You should also tell your mother not to come back and not to get involved with Mu Wenyan at this time. She doesn't have to worry."
"good."
Mu Qingyi walked out after chatting with Xu Xinduo.
Tong Yan watched Mu Qingyi go out, then glanced at Xu Xinduo's sullen face, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and his Adam's apple rolled violently.
After a moment, Xu Xinduo came over and stood beside Tong Yan. She didn't say anything, just kept staring at him.
Tong Yan said quickly: "I just don't want you to be embarrassed or entangled. I know you definitely don't want me to help me, so I acted first and asked for your permission later. You see, the scumbag dad has been punished, and he is suffering now. I just want to spare his life."
Xu Xinduo looked at Tong Yan, clenched his fist and then unclenched it, then said: "Tong Yan, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I don't agree with your method."
Tong Yan felt a little guilty and asked, "Is the punishment not harsh enough, or is it too harsh?"
"You know why I don't want you to help me?"
"Because... you are so strong?"
"Because I like you."
Tong Yan looked at Xu Xinduo pretending to be calm, and he felt his heart suddenly tremble, as if the mountains and seas were turned upside down in an instant, and the whole world was shaken.
He stared at Xu Xinduo in a daze, trying to calm his pounding heart.
Xu Xinduo spoke again: "I want to be with you in the future. I'm not dependent on you, nor do I covet anything from you. I just like you as a person and want to be with you. No matter what you look like, whether you are poor or rich, I only like you. Do you understand? If you do this, the feeling between us will change."
"I'm sorry... I didn't think it through..." Tong Yan quickly stood up and apologized.
"I always feel like I'm so bad, my family is like this, my health is like this. I didn't dare to confess my feelings at first, I always felt that I was not worthy of you..."
"Deserve it! Only you deserve it!"
"I have low self-esteem. The more you act like this, the more low self-esteem I feel. I feel humbled whenever I'm with you..."
Tong Yan felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment, as if his heart was being squeezed violently, making him feel extremely distressed.
Hugging Xu Xinduo randomly, he lowered his head and whispered: "Our Duoduo is so powerful, but I am a stupid boy who can only rely on my family, don't you think? I can't help you for nothing, Mu Qingyi will have to redeem the company in the future, and you... give me your endorsement fee."
This would also make Xu Xinduo feel more comfortable.
Tong Yan would not touch the money Xu Xinduo earned with great effort, and saved it all for her.
Xu Xinduo agreed immediately: "Well, okay."
"From now on, you have to hand over your monthly salary to me. Give me 30% as compensation."
"Um."
"Also, you have to spend a few days with me every month, okay?"
"good."
Mu's father sold the old house of the Mu family.
Nowadays, land approval for villas is no longer available and the number of villas in this city is basically decreasing as each one is sold. Moreover, these new villas are relatively close to the suburbs and the location is not very good.
The Mu family's house is in a good location and is a nice-sized villa with an independent yard. The distance between villas is also sufficient. The property and gardens are also first-class, the supporting facilities and school district are very good, so there is no need to worry about sales.
This kind of house can be considered a luxury house. If someone sells it, there will naturally be someone to buy it. Some people also knew that Mu's father was in urgent need of money, so the price also made Mu's father feel a little anxious.
All the servants in the house have been dismissed recently.
Mu Qingyao has been alone at home these days. She doesn't know how to cook, so she can only use her mobile phone to look up the instructions to learn how to cook and cook for herself every day.
Her personal driver quit, and she couldn't ask the driver to buy things for her, so she used her own pocket money to shop online or order takeout.
There was a sudden noise at home today. Mu Qingyao thought someone had returned home, but when she walked out of the room, she saw it was the real estate agent who was bringing a buyer to see the house.
She just stood there and watched quietly, then turned around and went back to her room. She was still in her pajamas, which was not suitable for meeting people. There would be outsiders coming to the house without notifying her.
She eavesdropped in the room for a while and found that the real estate agent and the buyer were talking. Their words implied that they wanted to sell the house as soon as possible, and urgently.
After his family went bankrupt, Mu's father completely ignored Mu Qingyao and left her in the house to fend for herself.
Now the house is being sold without even notifying her. She even heard about the moving company coming to move the house tomorrow from the real estate agent.
She was not given any time to pack her things, and where would she live after moving out?
There was absolutely no intention to arrange anything for her.
Just abandon the pawn.
Her life and death were just irrelevant matters to Father Mu. Now that she was no longer of any value to him, she was completely useless.
Mu Qingyao took out her cell phone, opened WeChat and found no unread messages.
She uninstalled the school's app yesterday just to control herself from visiting the school forum. There was also news in WeChat that Shen Zhuhang had broken up with her: Mu Qingyao, let's break up, I really hate being deceived and used by you.
Chen Zhuhang: My dad asked me to tell you in person that we should break up peacefully, but I don’t think it’s necessary. It's really disgusting that you are so full of lies and can take someone else's place with a clear conscience. Xin Ning told me a long time ago that you are definitely not her biological child, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that she is the best at judging people.
Chen Zhuhang: Okay, I’ve deleted you as a friend. Bye.
Mu Qingyao did not reply to Shen Zhuhang's message. She knew that Shen Zhuhang must have deleted her as a friend. If she sent a message to him again, she would only see a red symbol, indicating that she had been deleted.
And she knew that she was kicked out of the friend group and her former good friends had deleted her WeChat account.
Another person simply sent a message: You are so shameless.
Then I deleted her.
The situation she is facing now is that Chen Zhuhang has broken off the engagement, Mu's father has abandoned her, and the family house is going to be sold, so she will have no place to live in the future.
She knew that the Mu family went bankrupt and Mu's father must be resentful of her. If her grandmother had not replaced the child, the Mu family would not have been in such a mess. In Mu's father's opinion, the company's current situation was not his fault, and his family's bankruptcy was only due to an unstable engagement.
All this hatred will be transferred to her.
This is why Father Mu left her alone.
Mu Qingyi attends classes at school and lives on campus every day instead of going home. Mu's mother moved out to protect her. Mu Qingyao didn't know where she lived or how to contact her.
She didn't know where her future would go, and in an instant she became disheartened and hopeless.
Just as she was in a daze, Mu Qingyao looked down and saw that she had received a message from Mu Qingyi on her phone: I have looked at several short-term rental apartments, take a look at which one is suitable.
Seeing the message sent by Mu Qingyi, Mu Qingyao couldn't help but be stunned. Among all people, only this brother cared about her.
She stared blankly at the screenshots on the screen of her mobile phone. She did not reply to the message immediately, but quickly put down her phone and began to clean up the room and organize her things.
Then he found a dagger in his locker.
She took it out and looked at it, tested its sharpness with her fingernails, and then played with the dagger back and forth.
There was a noise outside again. Mu Qingyao went to the door, opened a crack, and looked out. She saw that it was Mu's father who came back and seemed to be chatting with the buyer.
Afterwards, the buyer left and Father Mu pushed the door open and walked in alone.
After entering the house, Father Mu looked around, as if taking a last look at the house, and then went straight to his study, probably to pack up his important belongings.
Mu Qingyao retreated back to the room, put on a pair of socks, and made sure that she could walk quietly in the socks without making any noise before she felt relieved.
Fortunately, I am not as tall as the Mu family members, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
She walked towards Father Mu's study with a dagger in her hand. The door was not closed tightly. She observed quietly, then tiptoed in and suddenly called out, "Dad."
Father Mu had not heard the sound before and was startled. He turned around abruptly and was stabbed in the abdomen the moment he turned around.
Father Mu was caught off guard by the attack, and subconsciously pushed Mu Qingyao away with a palm. Mu Qingyao pulled out the dagger and took several steps back before standing firm.
Father Mu held his stomach in pain, could hardly stand up straight, and fell to the ground.
He pressed so hard, but blood still oozed out from between his fingers, and his body was twitching and shaking, as if his body was uncontrollably moving after being attacked.
She deliberately chose the abdomen because she felt that if she were to stab the ribs or the back, she might not be able to do so, so the abdomen was the safest choice.
Now it seems that the choice was correct.
Father Mu opened his eyes wide, stared at Mu Qingyao and asked: "What...what are you going to do?"
The sound was hoarse and grainy, like tearing paper.
Mu Qingyao was also very panicked at first, after all, it was the first time she did such a thing.
When she saw Father Mu falling to the ground in pain, looking miserable and covered in blood, she suddenly felt relieved and laughed happily: "Haha, weren't you very powerful when you beat me? Why aren't you powerful now?"
Father Mu was in so much pain that he couldn't say anything.
Mu Qingyao shook off the blood on the dagger in disgust, frowned slightly, and made two "tsk tsk" sounds. Then she walked to Mu's father, found his cell phone, and deliberately put it far away.
After doing this, Mu Qingyao stepped back again and looked at Father Mu coldly, as if admiring her own work.
She smiled and said, "Just enjoy yourself here quietly. You won't die for a while. I'll lock the door tightly. Oh, useless thing. You have a temper but no ability. You are bankrupt. What's the point of you living? I can't count on you at all."
After saying this, Mu Qingyao turned around and left the study, closing the door.
After doing this, she returned to her room and went into the bathroom, calmly washed her hands and dagger, and then changed into her school uniform.
She even chose things on purpose, seeing what to bring in her bag, and sprayed perfume before leaving.
She put the dagger in her coat pocket.
Since when did you start to become evil inside?
She herself couldn't explain it.
She knew she had no future and she couldn't live a hard life. Mu's parents no longer care about her, and her engagement is cancelled. I guess she can't stay in school anymore, right?
Who can she rely on? Mu Qingyi? He can't even take care of himself.
envy.
envious.
Why is Xu Xinduo still living so well even though she has left the Mu family?
There are also magazines with Xu Xinduo on the cover on her bookshelf. Xu Xinduo is so dazzlingly beautiful. As long as you are beautiful, you can do anything! The more the comparison, the more ironic it was, the more unwilling she felt.
Why did she have to go through all this? If she had been born ordinary, she probably wouldn't have suffered so much.
He let her have everything and yet left her with nothing, so she was so jealous that she was twisted.
Her life will never be better, there is no future.
Then let’s destroy it together!
After she arrives at the school, she can only attack once, and then others will be on guard against her. She has learned piano and dance, and only knows basic self-defense skills. I should have learned more earlier. At least I could beat people when I’m angry. It comes in handy now.
She could only rely on the element of surprise.
Who should this knife be given to?
Sinking construction? Li Xinning? Xu Xinduo?
Oh...if it was Tong Yan, would Xu Xinduo feel even worse?
Chen Zhuhang is a heartless person. Even if something happens to Li Xinning, he will only feel bad for a few days and then find the next one.
Tong Yan and Xu Xinduo are different. If one of them is missing, the other will go crazy.
When she left the Mu family, she locked the door of the house carefully. After locking everything, she walked around outside to check the doors and windows, and only left after making sure they were sturdy.
Without a private driver, she had to find a way to get to school on her own.
I walked to the entrance of the villa, took out my cell phone to hail a car, and after sitting in the car, I checked the items in my bag again. If I take these things with me, it will make my life more convenient if I am caught. They are all necessities.
