MTL - Not Spare the Years-Chapter 50
Seeing Mu Xueyi turning into the madman she is now, Zhou Zhenyue felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She won't stop loving her because of the big change in Xueyi's character, she's just worried. Worried that the road ahead will go far, Xueyi will forget what she wants.
That love letter that hasn't scored 100 points, that yard with peppercorns, fennel and A Shou, in the end... in the world of Xueyi, how much weight can it still occupy?
There was a knock on the door behind him, and the food just ordered was brought over.
Zhou Zhenyue shook her head, cleared her mind, and asked the waiter to bring a low table and put it in front of Mu Xueyi's wheelchair to set the meal. She took out a handkerchief, wiped the metal chopsticks for her, and handed it to the other person.
Mu Xueyi took the chopsticks and was about to eat when the phone suddenly rang.
She took out the mobile phone Mu Guocheng gave her from her handbag, glanced at the screen, and first made a report to Zhou Zhenyue: "It's Shen Huaixing."
When Zhou Zhenyue heard that she was no longer called "Teacher", but called Shen Huaixing directly, she knew that Shen Huaixing, like Zhong Wan, had become a tool without any worries in her eyes.
"Hello, teacher?" Mu Xueyi looked at the veal on the plate and listened to the inquiries on the phone quietly, "...It's nothing, I just can't move easily...No, you don't have to come here, I'll be back in a while...um... Well, the next one is the purple clay pot? Then I may not be able to catch up, you can help me to shoot it, within 100,000 yuan, don't shoot it, it's not worth the money... um, okay, thank you, then I'll hang up first ."
Zhou Zhenyue picked up the hot coffee just delivered, and blew the heat off her face, "Do you want that purple clay pot?"
Mu Xueyi held a fork in one hand and poked the beef on the plate, "I just found a cheap one and used it as an excuse for Shen Huaixing to bring me here. I can give it to Mu Guocheng later to make him happy."
She poked for a while, frowned and looked at Zhou Zhenyue, with a little coquettish tone in her tone: "Ayue help me cut, okay?"
Zhou Zhenyue smiled, leaned over and brought the plate with the veal over, and cut the meat into small pieces evenly with a knife and fork.
When she cut the meat, Mu Xueyi kept staring at her.
The slender hand held the thick steel handle of the knife and fork, and the jade ring on the index finger touched the metal with a fine and clear sound. The wrist bones are thin and porcelain white, and the sleeves of the French shirt are wearing blue tiger eye stone cufflinks as deep as her eyes.
It seems that since she gave Ah Yue these cufflinks, she has never seen them take them off.
When Mu Xueyi stared at the cufflinks in a daze, Zhou Zhenyue had already cut it, handed the plate back with one hand, and placed it on the small table in front of her.
She seemed to have subconsciously reached out her hand and grabbed Zhou Zhenyue's hand.
The five fingers slowly tightened, and the cold jade ring felt a foreign body in the palm of his hand.
She rubbed the back of Zhou Zhenyue's hand with her fingertips, and after a while, her lips curved slightly, and she sighed very lightly:
"Nice to have you."
Zhou Zhenyue shuddered when she heard Mu Xueyi say this.
I don't know if it was her delusion. She always felt that... Xueyi seemed to have turned all the people in her world into a tool for revenge, her blood was irretrievably cold bit by bit, and she... had become the only human being in her world temperature sustenance.
"Xueyi," Zhou Zhenyue hesitated, "I..."
Mu Xueyi: "Huh?"
Zhou Zhenyue sighed softly, "It's nothing. I'm still saying that. I won't stop you from doing what you want, but if you can't hold it any more one day, I can come and pick you up at any time."
Mu Xueyi smiled, still the same as last time, without answering. The purple clay pot has been sold out, and was bought by Shen Huaixing for 80,000 yuan. The next one was the diamond bracelet, and an intermission was announced at the venue.
Mu Xueyi glanced at the time and put down his fork, "I've been out for forty minutes, I have to go back first."
Zhou Zhenyue glanced at the beef that had only eaten a few bites on the plate, "...You're still not full."
Mu Xueyi smiled and said, "It's okay, next time I see you, I will definitely eat by your side."
Mu Xueyi had already rang the service bell, and Zhou Zhenyue asked, "When is the next time we meet?"
Mu Xueyi's eyes crooked with a smile: "When is Ayue thinking?"
Zhou Zhenyue raised her chin and said softly, "After you left, I slept alone in that big bed. But I still put two pillows."
These words are a little bit revealing in obscurity.
"I may not be able to bring them down right away, but I will try to avoid being grounded as soon as possible." Mu Xueyi turned her eyes, looked at the backs of Mu Ruqing and Zhong Wan, and muttered to herself, "...it won't be long. ."
Zhou Zhenyue stood up, walked in front of Mu Xueyi, knelt down on one knee, and stroked her gauze-wrapped left arm with her right hand.
"Take care of yourself," Zhou Zhenyue frowned, her fingertips brushing the bony bones behind her elbow, "Although I hate Mu Guocheng and Mu Ruqing, if you plan to plan, you won't eat well and rehab , I'd rather never hate them again."
The light in Mu Xueyi's eyes softened.
Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a moment, and then said:
"I don't want to persuade you, but if you really decide to be a cold-blooded person, then you must remember that no matter how the situation develops in the future, no matter how far you go, I will be you... the last conscience. .”.
When we returned to the main auction venue, the break had not yet passed.
Shen Huaixing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mu Xueyi coming back. She immediately got up from her seat, took the wheelchair handle from the waiter, and pushed Mu Xueyi back to her position herself.
"You've been gone for a long time, and if you don't come back, I'll go to the bathroom on the first floor to find them one by one."
After Mu Xueyi came back, Mu Ruqing, who was sitting in front, noticed her. Just now, Mu Ruqing entered the venue late, and when she came, Mu Xueyi had already left, so she didn't make a face-to-face meeting.
Seeing each other now, Mu Ruqing sneered coldly and shouted from a distance, "Xueyi, why didn't you tell me today? You are inconvenient for your legs and feet, so tell me earlier, I'm fine too. Help Professor Shen take care of you."
Zhong Wan wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak, her eyes jumped back and forth on the faces of the sisters, glanced at Mu Ruqing, then at Mu Xueyi, her eyes couldn't hide the tension.
Mu Xueyi's face was calm: "I didn't know sister that you would come to this auction."
Mu Ruqing snorted, "You have no money, what are you doing here?"
Mu Xueyi: "I heard that there will be a rare 9-carat pink diamond at this auction. I was bored at home, so I just wanted to ask the teacher to take a look."
Shen Huaixing listened and asked in a low voice, "Xueyi, do you want that diamond?"
Mu Xueyi smiled and said in a voice that only Shen Huaixing could hear: "No, I just made a random excuse to prevaricate, because I don't want my sister to know that I bought a teapot for Dad."
Shen Huaixing: "Then how did you know that diamond? The lot hasn't come out yet."
Mu Xueyi: "I saw it on the website before, and I paid attention."
Shen Huaixing guessed that the meaning of "following" is somewhat closer to "liking". She was silent for a while and said, "If you like it, I'll give it a shot later."
Mu Xueyi was noncommittal, just smiled.
One more price hike, one more lively. What reason does she have to refuse?
The second half started.
Mu Xueyi sat in the wheelchair calmly, watching the host introduce the 9-carat pink diamond bracelet, her eyes moved slightly, and she saw Zhong Wan pointing at the chain and talking to Mu Ruqing.
The host announced the reserve price and started the auction.
Shen Huaixing took the lead in raising his hand and shouted the price of 10 million.
Mu Ruqing then raised her cards and added to twelve million.
Shen Huaixing continued to raise the placard.
Mu Ruqing continued to add.
Mixed with other guests' price increases, the driver of the Zhou family in the corner also raised a few times, but he was too low-key and no one paid attention to him.
When it reached 20 million, Shen Huaixing stopped raising it, and said to Mu Xueyi with a little apology, "I only have so much savings plus real estate, and I can't afford any more."
Mu Xueyi shrugged: "It doesn't matter, I don't really want it anyway."
When it was added to 50 million, Mu Ruqing didn't raise the price neatly after others made a bid, as he did just now. She was visibly hesitant, and it was almost more than she had at her disposal.
The host starts the countdown: "Three-"
Mu Ruqing seemed to be still hesitating.
Moderator: "Two—"
Zhong Wan suddenly turned her head, her mouth opened and closed, looking at the shape of her mouth, it seemed like she called out Ah Qing.
Mu Ruqing raised the sign again and added it to 60 million.
In the corner, the driver of the Zhou family raised his placard silently, adding directly to 70 million.
There were whispered discussions in the venue. This is the first lot to be auctioned at such a high price. Although the color of the diamond was really good, there were not many experts present and could not see whether it was worth so much money.
Mu Ruqing couldn't see it either, but she raised the sign again and added it to 80 million.
The Zhou family driver did not hesitate to add to 90 million.
The voices of discussion in the venue became more and more heated.
"Why did it start to be added thousands of times..."
"Is a 9-carat diamond really worth nine million? It shouldn't be."
"Look at the price increase so simply, you must have done your homework in advance, it's definitely worth it!"
"Indeed, raising the card is so decisive, it doesn't look like it's going to raise the price to make trouble."
"Who is that person, I don't seem to have seen it before..."
"It must be the boss looking for a substitute shoot. Look at his ears, and there are headphones."
"It might be worth so much money..."
The host held up the microphone: "Is there anything else to increase the price? If there is no gentleman or lady who raises the card within three minutes, then this 9-carat pink diamond bracelet will belong to this gentleman."
Mu Ruqing turned her head and glanced at the person in the back row who was competing with her for the auction. She beckoned to call a staff on the sidelines and asked something in a low voice.
The staff shook their heads, indicating that they had no way to control the person behind the man.
The host starts the countdown: "Three-"
His eyes swept back and forth across the venue.
"two-"
Still no one raised a placard, a professional smirk appeared from the corner of the host's mouth, and a "yi" was about to burst out of his lips with the words of congratulations.
Zhong Wan lowered her head and said something very lightly in Mu Ruqing's ear:
"Forget it, no more."
Mu Ruqing gritted her teeth and raised her card.
Hard to catch.
Retreat to advance.
Mu Xueyi in the back row rubbed the plaster on his arm, and the corner of his lips hooked lightly.
The word "love" is really a calamity that no one even cunning can get around.
