Chapter 29 Bai Yueguang’s Substitute (29)
Everyone is looking forward to it.
Especially Li Yahan and Wang Nannan, they couldn't wait to see Jiang Lai's jokes.
——
Outside the office, Mu Chen knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in."
Pushing open the door and walking in, the room was as dark as ever. A set of dark-colored desks and sofas looked particularly low-key and luxurious, but they also gave off a sense of depression. Especially after seeing Shen Liao sitting opposite the desk, I felt even more... The entire space was filled with the man's strong and oppressive aura.
Mu Chen took a deep breath, walked forward with a smile, turned on the light in the room for him just like five years ago, and then hung up the suit that was thrown on the sofa.
"How come you still don't know how to take care of yourself."
Shen Liao looked at her. She was wearing a long dress, black hair and shawl. It was a familiar look to him, and it was also a look that he had often missed in the past few years.
Now this person was standing in front of him, but he couldn't feel any fluctuations in his heart.
"What are you looking at? You haven't seen me for five years. You don't remember me?"
Shen Liao withdrew her gaze and spoke calmly.
"Nothing, you are the same as you were five years ago, nothing has changed."
Mu Chen walked up to Shen Liao.
"You haven't changed, neither have we."
Shen Liao didn't like the current situation, nor did he like an unfamiliar woman standing in his private space, so he spoke straightforwardly.
"I have to work. Please help me close the door when you go out."
The harsh and cold words were like a thorn, directly piercing Mu Chen's heart and trembling.
She was in disbelief, with a disappointed look on her face, but the man opposite him showed no intention of changing his story.
It was pointless to stay any longer at this point. Mu Chen forced a smile, turned around and walked towards the door.
The moment she opened the door, she thought of the girl Wei Fu mentioned, and felt a little uneasy in her heart. Although it was very few, she couldn't help but look back at Shen Liao.
The man had lowered his head and was messaging someone with his cell phone. There seemed to be a smile on his lips.
Such Shen Liao was something she had never seen five years ago.
A gentle, calm, genuine smile.
"Shen Liao, I won't leave this time."
The man raised his eyes and glanced at her, then nodded lightly.
"Yeah."
Shen Liao's response was as cold as ever.
She was angry, he must be angry with her. When had Shen Liao been so indifferent to herself?
He must have done this to avenge himself for leaving without saying goodbye.
Thinking of this, Mu Chen grabbed the door handle, bit his lip and walked out of the room.
When she went downstairs, Wei Fu, Wang Nannan, and Li Yahan gathered around her and asked her excitedly and expectantly.
"How is it? How is it? Did Shen Liao do anything to you?"
Mu Chen slapped Wei Fu angrily.
"We are friends, don't talk nonsense."
"Oh, please stop treating Shen Liao as a friend. He doesn't want to be friends with you. None of us know that he has been waiting for you for so many years. Tell me, have you promised him?"
Mu Chen thought of Shen Liao's reaction just now, feeling secretly uneasy in his heart, but with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"Okay, if you don't even look where this is, how could he be here..."
"That's right. Shen Liao will definitely choose a good time, arrange a grand scene and then declare his love to you grandly... No, maybe it's a proposal! If that's the case, Chenchen, just agree to him, Shen Liaoduo Well, there is no better man than him in Jiang City.”
"Take it if you like, don't make fun of me."
Wei Fu waved his hands repeatedly.
"I'm not good enough for our boss Shen. Besides, he only likes you. Don't pretend you don't know!"
The other two people also strongly supported it, wishing that Mu Chen could move in now.
Mu Chen said nothing and lowered his head silently.
After the party, Mu Chen asked casually on the way back.
"How long has the Jiang Lai you mentioned been with Shen Liao?"
When Wei Fu heard this, he quickly handed over the phone.
"Nuo, look, this is her Weibo. During the period when you haven't come back, she has been calling herself Shen Liao's girlfriend. Weibo is full of disgusting things she posted."
< br>
Mu Chen took the phone and flipped through a few items. In the dim car, her face was always hidden between the light and shadow.
"She looks beautiful."
"Tch, of course she is beautiful if she looks like you. Shen Liao is really the same. She just randomly found someone to replace you when she couldn't catch you. It's really disgusting."
Mu Chen handed the phone back and stopped talking.
"But don't worry, Shen Liao doesn't take her seriously at all. You see, she doesn't dare to announce who her boyfriend is. But since you also plan to continue with Shen Liao, it's best to deal with her. . If you can’t do it, I’ll help you.”
"It's nothing to deal with, it's just a little toy. You are my best friend. How could I let you do such a thing."
When Wei Fu heard this, he sighed helplessly.
"You are just too stoic. Even if you don't care about that kind of person, you can't let her take advantage of it in vain. I heard that she spent a lot of money this year. Don't worry, I He will make her spit out all the money, and also let her know what will happen if she hooks up with someone she shouldn’t hook up with!”
"Okay, don't go too far."
"Don't worry, that kind of low-level garbage doesn't require many tricks."
Without Shen Liao, she could crush Jiang Lai to death with one finger.
——
Jiang Lai heard from Xiao Puding that today is Shen Liao's birthday.
The original owner has been following Shen Liao for so long, and still doesn't even know when his birthday is, which is really humbling.
"People like Shen Liao won't waste time celebrating birthdays. It's normal that you don't know."
But Jiang Lai still packed his things and prepared to go back.
"I have to go back. There is a big show to be performed tomorrow."
Little Pudding understood immediately.
"Tomorrow is Grandma Shen Liao's eightieth birthday. Jiang Lai will definitely not miss it."
This was the beginning of all the nightmares for the original owner.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lai quickly booked a high-speed rail ticket for herself, and then transferred to a plane back to Jiang City. After arriving in Jiang City, she was not in a hurry to return to the villa, but booked a hotel to continue completing the unfinished drawings.
Early the next morning, she took a taxi directly back to the villa.
Aunt Liu didn't expect Jiang Lai to come back suddenly, so she quickly sat up from the sofa to say hello.
"Miss Jiang, why didn't you say hello before you came back?"
Jiang Lai put down his luggage and looked at the "Happy Birthday" ribbons in English letters that had not been cleaned up on the wall of the villa, and asked casually, pretending not to know.
"Whose birthday is it?"
"It's Mr. Shen's birthday, don't you know?"
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows, a hurt look appeared on his face, and his eyes dimmed. (End of chapter)
