I went bankrupt after slacking the rich and powerful

Chapter 16 An Unusual Thing Happened

In the coffee shop, two equally good-looking men sat facing each other, one handsome and elegant, the other fierce and handsome, just sitting and doing nothing was pleasing to the eye, just like the scenery.

Xiang Qingnan stirred the coffee with a calm expression, "Mr. Li, why don't you consider my suggestion? Anyway, it's just to complete the task. I think I'm a good candidate."

Anyway, marriage is just a ceremony, and after marriage, each plays its own way, and there is no difference, and it saves the bombardment of the elders to urge the marriage.

"No need." Li Shimo glanced at his watch, his tone was very cold, as if nothing could move his emotions.

Xiang Qingnan noticed that Li Shimo has been looking at his watch frequently since he came here. Is there anything special about this watch?Or...is there someone waiting for him?

Li Shimo looked at the man on the opposite side and found it boring. He didn't understand what Mrs. Li was looking for in him, but this is not an example, he would never agree to such a blind date again.

He began to distract himself unconsciously, he thought of the guy staying in the villa, wondering what he was doing now?

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone in the Li family is on vacation, including the old housekeeper, who is not in the villa, only Xu Mu is left alone.

Before leaving, he asked Xu Mu to take care of the house.

Xu Mu agreed, and eagerly asked him to bring back mooncakes.

Li Shimo ignored him at the time, but now he couldn't help but think of Xu Mu's eyes watching him leave over and over again, like an abandoned puppy, full of loneliness.

Xu Mu's parents had passed away long ago, Xu Mu was the only one left in the Xu family, and there were no other relatives.

Thinking of this, Li Shimo sympathized with Xu Mu a little bit.

But it's just sympathy, he will never have any emotions similar to distressed, he is the last kindness if he doesn't make trouble.

This blind date gradually came to an end, Li Shimo rejected Xiang Qingnan's suggestion, and the other party would naturally not continue to entangle, and after saying a few words on the scene, it was considered to be the end of this non-embarrassing blind date.

Generally speaking, it was decent, the two of them didn't like each other, and they didn't reach some kind of agreement. They said goodbye peacefully and politely, and hoped from the bottom of their hearts that there would be no next time.

Before leaving, Li Shimo glanced at the desserts in the window.

"This, put it on."

The waiter looked at the indifferent man with "Don't get close to strangers" written all over his face, then glanced at the cute strawberry cake in the window, and smiled, "Okay, sir."

When Li Shimo returned to Li's house, the whole villa was quiet.

He walked in and saw Xu Mu squatting under the osmanthus tree, not knowing what he was doing, the silvery white moonlight fell down, his thin back looked extraordinarily lonely.

Li Shimo frowned unconsciously, but his voice was so low and gentle that he couldn't even notice it, "Xu Mu."

Hearing the voice, Xu Mu turned his head abruptly. When he saw Li Shimo, he couldn't help laughing. He threw away the branch that stabbed the ant nest, and almost jumped over, "You're back!"

At that moment, Li Shimo only felt that his eyes were brighter than the moon in the sky, as if they could shine into all the dark corners of his heart.

Xu Mu rushed towards him like a rabbit, as if he was going to crash into his arms, he almost subconsciously opened his arms to catch it...

"Let me be healthy! Did you bring me mooncakes?" However, Xu Mu braked quickly, almost stopped in front of him, and bent down to look at the things in his hand curiously.

Li Shimo withdrew his hand calmly, concealing the slight embarrassment. He was inexplicably annoyed, and replied bluntly, "There are no mooncakes."

Xu Mu was a little disappointed at once, but he soon saw the strawberry cake in Li Shimo's hand, and immediately became happy again, "You bought a strawberry cake!"

Li Shimo let him snatch it away, watched him excitedly open the box to taste, and then squinted his eyes to show a satisfied expression, the whole person was vivid.

His happiness is so simple.

Maybe losing his memory is a good thing for him.

At least, he no longer remembers the grief of losing a loved one.

***

After the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Xu Mu felt that Li Shimo had become a little strange, and he asked the system: "Why don't you say that Li Shimo doesn't torture me now?"

The system thought for a while before answering: "Maybe he is busy?"

Xu Mu analyzed it and thought something was wrong, "I think he's free every day, drinking afternoon tea and playing golf or something. Doesn't he want to take revenge on me?"

His retribution value has not moved for a week.

The system was shocked, "Ah, what should we do then? If it is true, how will you complete the task as the host!"

Xu Mu thinks about it too, he is such an insignificant little person, Li Shimo has lost his freshness after taking revenge for a few days, so why don't he bother to talk to him?

But he will not give up.

For the sake of retribution, he also created opportunities for Li Shimo to take revenge.

Thinking of this, a good idea immediately came to Xu Mu's mind, and he quickly got up.

As soon as he left the room, he saw the little maid wiping the vase, and went up to grab her rag, and said enthusiastically, "Go and play, I'll wipe it for you!"

The little maid was a little embarrassed, "Is this not good?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "bang", and the half-person-high vase in front of her was accidentally pushed down by Xu Mu, breaking it all of a sudden.

The little maid was dumbfounded looking at the debris all over the floor, her little face turned pale, "Xu Mu, you..."

Xu Mu pushed her to avoid stepping on the broken pieces, and then excitedly said: "Go and tell Mr. Li that I broke the vase!"

The little maid suddenly looked confused, "Why?"

Isn't Xu Mu afraid of being punished by Mr. Li?

"Go!" Xu Mu urged her, but the little maid refused to go, so he had to go to the study to surrender.

After Xu Mu knocked on the door and got permission to enter the study, the first thing he said was, "Mr. Li, I broke the most expensive antique vase!"

Li Shimo slowly raised his eyes to look at him, and said indifferently: "You look so happy, is it on purpose?"

"Of course not!" Xu Mu knew that he had to be careful when he got into trouble, and he couldn't be too arrogant, so he immediately managed his expression, "I accidentally broke it, and now I feel very guilty, you should punish me!"

"En." Li Shimo lowered his head and continued to read the documents, as if he didn't take this matter to heart, and said casually: "Then transfer the compensation to the debt you owe."

Xu Muqian didn't overwhelm himself, he didn't care about this at all, and after waiting for a while before Li Shimo could speak, he asked in disbelief, "So, it's just gone?"

"Huh? What else do you want?" Li Shimo raised his eyelids and looked at him indifferently.

"I..." Xu Mu hesitated and couldn't tell why.

Li Shimo seemed a little impatient, and said directly: "Go out if you have nothing to do."

"Oh..." Xu Mu went out limply like a ball that had been punctured, not forgetting to ask about the value of retribution in his heart.

The system replied: "Retribution value +1, the current retribution value is 62."

"It only increased a little?" Xu Mu was a little unhappy, and complained to the system, "How many years and months will I be able to save enough retribution if this continues? Li Shimo is not fooled, the one who tormented me before Where did the energy go? You can't give up halfway, you know..."

He couldn't believe it anymore, he wanted to see how long this guy could bear him!

Because in the days that followed, Xu Mu started to get into trouble frequently, always "accidentally" breaking this and that, from a cute little guy everyone liked to a daredevil everyone hated.

Xu Mu: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I ruined your clothes!"

Li Shimo: "Deduct money."

Xu Mu: "Mr. Li, your favorite flower was drowned by me, woohoo!"

Li Shimo: "Deduct money."

Xu Mu: "Mr. Li, I broke the glass in the study!"

Li Shimo: "Deduct money."

Buckle money buckle money buckle money!Li Shimo only knows how to deduct money!

Xu Mu was very annoyed, this guy has nothing new!His retribution value has only increased to 65 now!

Can't you give him a little more retribution?Cheapskate!

In fact, not only Xu Mu found Li Shimo strange, but even Li Shimo felt that Xu Mu was very abnormal recently. He saw the other party's intentional troubles, but he was indifferent.

He wanted to know what Xu Mu wanted to do.

However, the other party just kept getting into trouble, as if deliberately making him angry, and it happened to be on the edge of his bottom line.

After Li Shimo replied to the last work email, he searched the Internet to find out what happened to Xu Mu.

Soon, the search results came out.

If a person often makes trouble in front of you and wants to make you angry on purpose, then he is probably trying to attract your attention.

Li Shimo narrowed his eyes unconsciously.

Xu Mu...was trying to attract his attention?

He recalled the other party's various behaviors, which indeed fit this possibility, so the question came, why did Xu Mu attract his attention?Could it be...

Li Shimo didn't continue to think about it, his eyes were as deep as night.

The next morning, Li Shimo got up early to go to work, and when he went downstairs, he found an unexpected figure in the kitchen - Xu Mu.

The reason why it was called an accident was because Xu Mu had never woken up so early, and tried every means to stay in bed every morning, competing with the kindergarten children, and no one could wake up.

Unless Li Shimo picked him up himself.

But how could Li Shimo waste his precious time on getting Xu Mu to get up?As time goes by, I don't bother to care about him. If he doesn't care, others don't care.

Therefore, it was really surprising that Xu Mu got up so early today, as if the sun came out from the west.

What's even more unreasonable is that Xu Mu actually cooked breakfast for Li Shimo himself today, so attentive that Li Shimo suspected that the breakfast was poisoned.

"Mr. Li." Xu Mu looked at Li Shimo with a smile, his expression full of anticipation, "Eat quickly, you can go to work after eating."

Li Shimo looked down at the breakfast on the table. Simple preserved egg porridge with lean meat, served with side dishes, soy milk fritters and eggs. A typical Chinese breakfast, it looked pretty good.

However, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

The author has something to say: Xu Mu: Dalang, it’s time to drink medicine~

Li Dalang: I think I can still save it.
