Luo Bing threw down the bomb and left. Song Nan had never suffered such grievances since she was young. She immediately started to make a fuss.
Duan Si was about to go crazy. She called Mu Guo and Mu En and asked them to come back immediately.
Mu Guo replied as usual: [I’m not free. I’m in a meeting.]
Mu En came back dejectedly. He didn’t expect Song Nan to really succeed. He was really envious of her, but he couldn’t do anything when his mother asked him to find a way to get his brother back and marry Song Nan.
He was sure that Song Nan would have a way, so he wasn’t in a hurry and just cheered for her alongside his mother.
At this moment, Mu Guo was handing a set of emerald jewelry to Lin Jun.
Lin Jun took it from him with a smile and glanced at him. “What’s the occasion? You’re giving me a gift for nothing?”
Mu Guo smiled and said, “Since I met you, 1 wanted to give it to you. Why do 1 need an occasion to give you a gift? I’m just in the mood.”
Lin Jun was displeased. “Then how long has it been since you were in the mood?”
Mu Guo was a little embarrassed.
Lin Jun knew when to stop and changed the topic. “Mu En caused trouble again today.”
Mu Guo frowned.
Lin Jun sighed softly. “Madam asked Lin Xu to call me and tell me that Second Young Master is trapped in his room. There are already reporters surrounding him, and they found him themselves.”
Mu Guo frowned even more. “What’s wrong?”
Lin Jun shrugged. “1 heard that it was to capture him and Miss Shen Su in bed together. In the end, there was a misunderstanding. We lured the reporters away and got Second Young Master out. We realized that the girl in the room was Bei Le, Eldest Young Madam’s younger sister.”
“What kind of nonsense is this?” Mu Guo asked in a low voice.
“After sending him back to Madam, it’s not easy for me to ask how they are going to deal with him in the future. There are also people I’m familiar with among the reporters. 1 only know after asking. Second Young Master and Miss Bei Le have been secretly colluding for a long time. Even Miss Shen Su knows about it. Now, Second Young Master is in a hurry to marry Miss Shen, but Miss Shen announced that they had broken up unilaterally. That’s why Second Young Master wanted to force himself on her. Unexpectedly, there was a slip-up.” Lin Jun told him the truth.
Mu Guo gritted his teeth and said, “This little bastard. 1 thought that he finally had some foresight after choosing Shen Su. I didn’t expect him to still mess it up. Hmph! It’s all because of his mother’s pampering! An indulgent mother will raise a loser! None of them are decent.”
Lin Jun deliberately sighed. “That’s right. It’s all the mother’s fault for not taking good care of the child. Our Mu Yao is still lying in the hospital. It’s all my fault for not taking good care of her.”
Mu Guo patted Lin Jun’s hand lightly. “Why are you adding to the mess!”
Lin Jun smiled. “That’s right! Why are you adding to the mess? Madam will naturally worry about Second Young Master’s matters. You didn’t care about it in the past, so what can you help now? 1 just know about this and want to tell you. It’ll be awkward if you hear others say it outside and don’t know.”
Mu Guo sighed. “You’re the only one who knows the big picture. Alright, I understand. 1’11 ignore them and let them cause trouble.” He turned around to change his clothes.
Lin Jun looked at his back with a profound gaze before slowly putting away the box in her hand.
When Mu Guo came out, he saw Lin Jun holding a jade pendant in a daze. He walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Jun forced a smile, and there was a hint of sadness in her smile. “I’m thinking of Auntie.”
Mu Guo’s expression turned solemn. He said calmly, “Put it away.” He turned around and went to the garden.
Lin Jun hid behind the curtains in the kitchen, peeling an apple in her hand. She wanted to make a fruit plate, but her gaze didn’t fall on the knife. Instead, she stared blankly at Mu Guo, who was smoking alone in the garden pavilion. How many years had passed? Just a title could stir his thoughts. That person must have been planted in his heart, right? Nothing in this world could compare to a strand of that person’s hair.
A sharp pain came from her hand. The knife cut her index finger, and blood flowed, dyeing the apple red.
Lin Jun stared at her bleeding finger as she continued to cut it. She chopped the apple into pieces and then chopped them into bits with blood. This bloody apple mush was extremely similar to her heart.
Everything in this world could not go according to one’s wishes. Everyone had their own destiny that could not be resisted or violated. Relationships that were snatched from others, were extremely fragile, making one feel insecure. They did not know when it would be gone and they would be separated..
