After being locked up in a mental hospital, she married a wealthy heir in a flash

At this time, Mu Xichen was standing on the balcony at the end of the corridor to answer the phone.

The light on the balcony was a little dim, reflecting his slender figure in a dignified and elegant way, but it was a little more... bleak.

It's been a long time.

She couldn't help but stand there and look a few more times, until he turned around after making the phone call, and saw her at a glance.

Shen Xin didn't have time to escape, so she had no choice but to step towards him generously.

"Mr. Mu, long time no see."

Mu Xichen looked at her, and said calmly, "It's not a long time."

"..."

She coughed dryly and asked, "Why is Mr. Mu here?"

"With friends."

"Mr. Mu still has friends?"

"What do you mean?" Mu Xichen raised his eyebrows.

"Uh, what I mean is that Mr. Mu has only been back to China for half a year, and he is so cold and cold on weekdays. It should not be so easy to make friends."

"Am I that difficult?"

"If I say...it's really difficult, will Mr. Mu be angry?"

Mu Xichen glanced away: "This is not the first time you have said that."

Shen Xin thought about it, it seemed that she had indeed said it before.

So his tone changed: "But although Mr. Mu's temper has become a little volatile, he is still a very good person."

Is this a commendation meeting?

"No."

Shen Xin shook her head, and said solemnly: "Mr. Mu can do his best to treat Young Master Mu regardless of the previous suspicions. This is something that people appreciate and admire."

Mu Xichen glanced at her, then turned to face the night scene outside the terrace.

Shen Xin didn't see the flickering darkness in his eyes.

"But I'm a little curious why Mr. Mu asked him."

Shen Xin walked to his side and stood still, looking at his steely side face: "After all, after First Young Master Mu recovers from his illness, your position in Mu's Group may not be guaranteed."

"You know quite well."

With a click, he took out a cigarette and lit one.

The misty smoke made the bottom of his already elusive eyes even more mysterious and incomprehensible.

"Because Aunt Ya is very worried about you, and is very afraid that you will be kicked out of the Mu Group by Mrs. Mu."

Mu Xichen nodded, expressing his understanding.

Shen Xin saw that he didn't want to say much, so she said to him: "I'm going to find my friend first."

She turned away.

A man's hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Are you leaving?"

She turned around in confusion: "Mr. Mu, is there anything else?"

"Didn't you say I have no friends? Won't you chat with me?"

"..." She was surprised.

"I think Mr. Mu doesn't seem to want to talk, so..."

"Don't you want to know why I saved Young Master Mu? Sit with me and I'll tell you."

Hearing what he said, Shen Xin hesitated for a while, then walked over to a rattan chair and sat down.

After Mu Xichen sat down gracefully on another chair beside her table, he extinguished the cigarette between his fingers in the ashtray.

Shen Xin looked at the dimness in his eyes, and said: "Actually, I don't have to know, Mr. Mu doesn't want to say it."

It's not that Mu Xichen didn't want to say it.

It's just that I'm not used to expressing my emotions to others, let alone talking about my private affairs with others.

He silently played with the wine glass that the waiter had just brought up, his slender fingers were reflected in the amber liquid, like jade tubes.

Shen Xin coughed dryly, and reminded: "Mr. Mu, drink less foreign wine."

Mu Xichen murmured quietly, "I don't know if you noticed, but Mu Jinnian's right leg has a scar that is more than ten centimeters long."

Shen Xin didn't follow his train of thought for a while.

After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head: "I didn't notice."

The acupuncture and moxibustion are basically performed on the upper body.

"What happened to the scar?" she asked.

"His scar was left when his leg was broken when he was fighting to protect me when he was 12 years old."

Mu Xichen was still playing with the liquid in the glass, and said in a soft tone: "For more than ten years, he has been walking with a cane, and has been ridiculed behind his back as a cripple. But he doesn't seem to mind, nor has he resented me. But the elders of the Mu family hated me to the core, thinking that I made him like this."

"In fact, it was indeed my fault." He finally raised the foreign wine in his hand and took a sip.

Shen Xin finally gradually understood.

"Why did Young Master Mu want to help you in the first place? You two have a very good relationship."

"Well, he said he wanted a younger brother, but I don't want an older brother." Mu Xichen laughed at himself: "Because I never believe in people's hearts, let alone human nature, and I don't like being given alms, but And has been forced to accept handouts."

"What is forced charity?"

"For example, because my surname is Mu, I can have no family and no freedom. But I can't dress too poorly or live too poorly, because that will damage the reputation of the Mu family."

Shen Xin nodded: "I finally understand why Mr. Mu always made me pay attention to my image when I assumed the identity of Mrs. Mu, so it's a family tradition!"

Mu Xichen sneered.

"I don't seem to force you to live in a luxury house, drive a luxury car, or wear a famous brand."

"It seems to be the same. Mr. Mu won't even lend me 5 yuan."

Mu Xichen looked at her sideways, and after a while he uttered: "Don't hold grudges so much, or you will be as unhappy as I am."

After a pause, he added bitterly: "Of course, your relationship with me is different from my relationship with the Mu family. Once the divorce certificate is obtained, we will have nothing to do with each other, and we don't have to care about each other's feelings. "

Shen Xin looked at his increasingly dim eyes.

Changed his words: "Let's go back to Young Master Mu. It turns out that Mr. Mu found a doctor for him in order to repay his kindness for breaking your leg when you were a child?"

"Not only did he break my leg for me, he also treated me kindly in other ways."

"So when others say that you caused the car accident for him, they are talking nonsense."

Mu Xichen was silent.

She added: "Mr. Mu, you should explain."

"I never cared what other people thought of me."

"It is precisely because you don't explain that Mrs. Mu hates you so much. She always reminds you to return your position to Young Master Mu."

"Do you think she would like me if I didn't cause a car accident?" He silently raised his glass and took a sip: "When you don't like someone, no matter what the other person does, you don't like it."

Shen Xin could not agree with his statement.

But he couldn't think of a suitable reason to change his mind.

It was obvious that he was hurt.

It was even the first time that she saw from him the sense of brokenness that should not belong to him.

"Mr. Mu, that... drink less."

She reached out her little hand to take the cup in his hand.

The fingers holding the cup were suddenly wrapped in his big palm.

The warm touch made her startled unconsciously, and when she raised her eyes, her eyes just hit the man's deep eyes...
