After Ji Xiaohuan leaves, he will take the initiative to call Kuang Mu.

One at noon and one at night.

Just like Kuang Mu's year.

Ji Xiaohuan didn't talk much at first.

When he called Kuang Mu back then, Kuang Mu always pestered Ji Xiaohuan to talk, pestered Ji Xiaohuan not to let him hang up the phone, pestered Ji Xiaohuan to tell him that he missed him.

So even though Ji Xiaohuan didn't speak at that time, he didn't seem unfamiliar.

And now Kuang Mu doesn't talk very much, and the two of them often fall into a situation where they have nothing to say on the phone, but after a couple of times, Kuang Mu gets used to it.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, after taking a shower, Kuang Mu wiped his hair while looking down at the mobile phone on the bedside table.

After he finished wiping his hair, he sat on the edge of the bed with wet hair, staring at the phone in a daze.

About 10 minutes later, Kuang Mu's cell phone rang, and the caller displayed on it was Ji Xiaohuan.

Kuang Mu watched the phone blink for a few seconds before raising his hand to pick up the phone.

"Hello, Yue'er."

Ji Xiaohuan's low voice rang on the phone.

Kuang Mu replied in a low voice: "En."

"Have you eaten tonight?"

"have eaten."

"Okay." Ji Xiaohuan was silent for a while, then asked again: "Are you feeling unwell today?"

"No......"

Ji Xiaohuan said hello again, and then the phone fell into silence.

Kuang Mu held the phone tightly with his hand, lowered his eyes and looked at his knees, but did not speak.

In this quiet atmosphere, he could even hear Ji Xiaohuan's slight panting, again and again, which made his heartbeat slow down.

"Moon."

Ji Xiaohuan called him again in a low voice.

"En?" Kuang Mu responded.

"One takes care of oneself at home."

"it is good."

"Call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

It was still these clichés, Ji Xiaohuan had asked him several times, and Kuang Mu had complied a few times.

After saying this, the two of them hung up the phone.

Listening to the beeping sound of the phone over there, Kuang Mu's fingers unconsciously clenched the phone tightly, and then slowly put the phone on his lap with his hands down.

After hanging up Ji Xiaohuan's phone call, Kuang Mu felt a little uncomfortable again.

He felt his heart beating fast, which made him anxious.

So Kuang Mu stood up and walked around the room twice, went to the living room, took three Valium pills and swallowed them.

Then he picked up little Xingxing and walked into the room, and Xiaobai followed behind Kuang Mu.

The two cats were lying on the bed and sleeping with Kuang Mu, and the sound of breathing came from around, which made Kuang Mu feel much more at ease.

Kuang Mu fell asleep until noon because he took the stable medicine.

When he got up, he was sweating profusely. Looking at the bright sunlight on the ceiling, he was in a daze for a while. What time is it now?

Kuang Mu didn't have class all day today, and he started to prepare his doctoral student's final thesis at home.

In the afternoon, Kuang Mu received a call from Zhou Bingshuang.

Fang Chu was also on a business trip these days, and Zhou Bingshuang couldn't stay at home alone, so she tried her best to invite Kuang Mu to eat a French restaurant with her on the phone.

It's still the two of them.

Kuang Mu thought for a while and agreed to Zhou Bingshuang's invitation.

At 06:30 in the evening, he arrived at the place he had agreed with Zhou Bingshuang as promised.

Zhou Bingshuang had already sat down, opened a bottle of red wine and started drinking.

She has always been impatient, and every time she makes an appointment with others, she habitually arrives ten minutes earlier.

Seeing Kuang Mu coming, Zhou Bingshuang raised his eyes and greeted Kuang Mu, "Here we are."

Kuang Mu nodded and sat opposite her.

Zhou Bingshuang made a new set of wine-red manicures, holding the goblet with her slender fingertips. The color of the manicures and the color of the wine complement each other perfectly.

Zhou Bingshuang took two sips of wine and called the waiter to serve the food.

The French food here is not bad, but because Kuang Mu has a lot of food that cannot be eaten, most of what Zhou Bingshuang ordered today is very ordinary dishes.

Zhou Bingshuang is a little abnormal today.

She didn't talk as much as usual when she was eating with Kuang Mu.

If Zhou Bingshuang and Kuang Mu had met before, Zhou Bingshuang wished he could finish everything he had said before he met Kuang Mu.

Every time Kuang Mu just sat in his seat and nodded in response.

Today Zhou Bingshuang has been eating in silence.

After finishing the steak, she wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief beside her, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Mu, do you still like Ji Xiaohuan?"

Kuang Mu paused abruptly while drinking the soup, and looked up at Zhou Bingshuang.

When Kuang Mu and Zhou Bingshuang get along, Zhou Bingshuang rarely mentions Ji Xiaohuan in front of him.

Because Zhou Bingshuang knew that once that person was mentioned, Kuang Mu would not be able to eat today's meal.

Today is the first time Zhou Bingshuang asked this question in front of Kuang Mu.

Kuang Mu held the spoon tightly in his hand, and lowered his eyes to look at the bowl of golden pumpkin soup on the table.

The pumpkin soup was obviously delicious, but he suddenly lost his appetite.

Kuang Mu remained silent and did not answer.

This time Zhou Bingshuang seemed to want to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

Holding the goblet of red wine in her hand, she asked again: "Do you like him?"

Kuang Mu took a deep breath, wanted to change the subject and said, "Sister, today..."

Zhou Bingshuang interrupted him and asked, "Do you still like him very much now?"

Kuang Mu's voice stopped and he bit his lower lip.

"Kuang Mu, if you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Back then, you could tell me that you liked Ji Xiaohuan very straightforwardly. Let me not look at him with prejudice. You are 25 years old this year, why did you even Don’t dare to say a word of liking?”

What Zhou Bingshuang said was not light or heavy, but it was like a knife that peeled Kuang Mu's heart, tearing away the layers of protective film that Kuang Mu had tried so hard to wrap his heart before. He was torn bloody and in excruciating pain, but he gradually regained consciousness.

Kuang Mu's mouth trembled, and he slowly leaned back on the chair.

Yes, back then he was able to move forward.

Even though Ji Xiaohuan didn't love him at the beginning and held a lot of hostility towards him, he was still able to walk to Ji Xiaohuan's side step by step without fear of injury or difficulty, and bravely face his love for him .

And now that he is 25, Ji Xiaohuan treats him so well, wishing he could hold him in the palm of his hand, but he is so scared of being hurt, he starts to become timid, and he doesn't even like the word "like" Dare to say it.

He was afraid that once he uttered these two words, it would touch the deepest and most painful place in his heart.

Zhou Bingshuang's eyes were still looking at him.

Kuang Mu's eyelashes trembled, he nodded slightly and said, "I like it."

When Zhou Bingshuang heard this sentence, she seemed to be expecting it. She put her hand on the table, shaking the goblet up and down, and looked at Kuang Mu slightly.

She saw Kuang Mu sitting opposite him, he seemed to be in pain after saying this, his eyelashes were trembling, he bit his lower lip tightly, his mouth was about to bleed.

After a while, Kuang Mu let go of his teeth biting his lower lip, and added softly: "I like it very much."

Zhou Bingshuang picked up the goblet, took a sip of the red wine, and said, "Ji Xiaohuan came to see me a few days ago."

Kuang Mu tightened his grip on the spoon and asked, "Why did he look for you?"

"Because of your affairs, otherwise what else could it be?" Zhou Bingshuang said: "He showed me your psychological report, and the situation is not very good."

Kuang Mu had long thought that his psychological condition would not get any better, so he lowered his head and let out a low voice.

Zhou Bingshuang continued: "He asked about your situation in the past seven years, and the questions were very detailed."

Kuang Mu's Adam's apple rolled, and he nodded again.

Zhou Bing looked at Kuang Mu's preoccupied look, and asked, "Have you ever asked Ji Xiaohuan why he wanted that piece of jade?"

Kuang Mu shook his head.

He and Ji Xiaohuan never mentioned what happened back then.

"I asked." Zhou Bingshuang said.

Kuang Mu clasped the handle of the spoon with his fingers, he took a breath and asked, "What did he say?"

"He said he had to get that piece of jade at that time, but I went home and thought about it, and I don't understand why it must be at that time? That piece of jade is a family heirloom of their Ji family, but it has been given to Yan Minhui for several years. Why did he suddenly want it? in such a hurry?"

Kuang Mu knew that Ji Xiaohuan was in a hurry to get that piece of jade.

He will never forget that in court, Ji Xiaohuan told the judge that Kuang Mu had never done anything to hurt him, and that Kuang Mu was willing to donate Yan Minhui's inheritance to him, but he rejected Kuang Mu's request .

That's when the judge asked him, "Why did you say no?"

Ji Xiaohuan said: "It's too slow. Kuang Mu needs to be at least 21 years old to pass on the inheritance to me. I can't wait."

He couldn't wait for Kuang Mu to turn 21.

He was in a hurry to get that piece of jade.

Kuang Mu couldn't figure out why Ji Xiaohuan was doing it at first, but after a long time, he didn't want to think about it anymore.

But today Zhou Bingshuang told this matter again.

Zhou Bingshuang continued: "Ji Xiaohuan sent me a message before going to Mingcheng this time, asking me to take care of you in these four days, and I suddenly felt... Maybe he is sincere to you too .”

Kuang Mu didn't speak.

Zhou Bingshuang looked at Kuang Mu and paused, then continued: "Since you like him, he treats you well now, why didn't you ask about those knots back then? Maybe Ji Xiaohuan just didn't want to tell me this outsider, Not necessarily that he won't tell you."

After Zhou Bingshuang said these words, he didn't say any more.

She turned her head and looked out of the window, taking sips of her wine.

Kuang Mu was touched by Zhou Bingshuang's words, and he was thinking about it when he returned home.

Zhou Bingshuang was right.

He likes Ji Xiaohuan, he has liked Ji Xiaohuan since childhood.

He is stubborn and unreasonable.

Having loved Ji Xiaohuan in this life, as long as he is alive, it is impossible to fall in love with others.

He likes Ji Xiaohuan, and Ji Xiaohuan treats him well now, which was originally a good thing.

But now he retreats again and again because of the knot in his heart.

The living room was pitch black, with only one yellow light on. Little Xingxing was lying at his feet, rubbing his little head against Kuang Mu's ankle.

Kuang Mu sat on the sofa, thinking about this matter.

At this time the phone rang again, it was Ji Xiaohuan's time to call him every day.

Kuang Mu picked up the phone and listened to Ji Xiaohuan's deep voice over there.

Ji Xiaohuan still asked the usual questions, and Kuang Mu answered as usual.

When Ji Xiaohuan was about to hang up the phone, Kuang Mu suddenly called out: "Ji Xiaohuan..."

Ji Xiaohuan on the phone said, "What's wrong?"

Kuang Mu choked his throat and opened his mouth again and again.

He wanted to open his mouth to ask about the past, but found that once he wanted to talk about it, his throat seemed to be blocked by someone, and he couldn't ask.

He was still terrified.

His courage is like a balloon full of gas.

When he didn't face Ji Xiaohuan just now, he filled the balloon with gas until it was full, and wanted to find out what happened back then in one go.

But when he faced Ji Xiaohuan, when he heard Ji Xiaohuan's gentle voice, a needle stuck into his balloon, and all his courage ran out along with the wind.

Kuang Mu was afraid that he would hear the cruel words Ji Xiaohuan said in prison again.

That was Kuang Mu's nightmare every night.

So Kuang Mu's hand holding the phone tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and finally he said: "Be careful over there."

Ji Xiaohuan seemed to smile and said, "Okay."

Kuang Mu hung up the phone, then lay on his back on the sofa, staring at the dim ceiling with distracted eyes.

This matter is much more difficult than he imagined...

Kuang Mu lay in bed that night as long as he closed his eyes, he could recall what Zhou Bingshuang had said to him.

She said she felt that Ji Xiaohuan was sincere to him.

She said that since you like Ji Xiaohuan, why didn't you ask Ji Xiaohuan why he was back then.

.......

Zhou Bingshuang's words made Kuang Mu's already dead and withered heart ready to move, as if he had returned to the age of seventeen or eighteen, and his heart beat faster for Ji Xiaohuan.

But every time Kuang Mu's heart began to recover quickly, he would think of Ji Xiaohuan sitting in the prison back then and speaking cold words with him through the glass.

Just like this, going back and forth, one cold and one hot, tossed Kuang Mu up all night and didn't sleep well.

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, Kuang Mu sat up from the bed with red eyes.

He looked at the hazy sunrise in the sky, and suddenly a thought arose in his heart.

This idea may be very impulsive and rash.

Kuang Mu has been imprisoning himself tightly for the past seven years, and has never made an impulsive decision, but once this idea ignited, Kuang Mu couldn't sit still.

Only this method can allow him to quickly know what the barrier between him and Ji Xiaohuan is.

Kuang Mu thought so, touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, and booked himself a train ticket for the nearest train to Mingcheng.

He was booked until eight o'clock in the morning.

The time was rushed, and Kuang Mu didn't even have time to pack anything.

He got up from the bed, filled the lunch boxes of Xiao Bai and Xiao Xingxing with food and water, then changed out of his clothes and hurried out the door.

Kuang Mu didn't sleep well last night, and his condition during the day was even worse. In addition, the driver he took a taxi was driving very fast, and Kuang Mu suffered from motion sickness along the way.

When he got out of the car, he squatted on the side of the road and suffered from nausea and nausea

Kuang Mu didn't eat anything in the morning, and he ate very little last night, and he couldn't vomit anything, but his eyes were red with retching.

After getting on the train, this state did not get any better.

Kuang Muding's ticket was booked urgently. It was not a first-class seat on the high-speed rail, but an ordinary hard-seat train.

As soon as he got into the car, Kuang Mu smelled a pungent smell of instant noodles.

That smell revived the nausea that he had suppressed just now, and he didn't even go into the carriage, turned around and rushed into the bathroom, and there was another intense nausea and retching, and the vomit was full of water, which made him Stomach started to throb.

Kuang Mu is indeed squeamish.

Few people would suffer from motion sickness on such a slow train, but he did.

For the remaining few hours, Kuang Mu sat by the window, tightly holding an empty white plastic bag in his hands, leaning against the window with his eyes closed, his red lips tightly pressed, enduring the physical discomfort. .

Sitting next to him was a female college student, and that girl's eyes lit up when she saw Kuang Mu sitting next to her.

She kept staring at Kuang Mu along the way, and wanted to strike up a conversation countless times, but she was discouraged when she saw Kuang Mu's tightly closed brows and eyes and his ice-cold demeanor.

The girl didn't dare to speak to Kuang Mu until she got off the car.

Kuang Mu arrived in Mingcheng in a daze, took a taxi directly and went back to his apartment, and fell asleep in a daze before even cleaning the house.

Ji Xiaohuan called him at noon, but he was still sleeping.

The phone rang several times in a row before Kuang Mu sat up with his hands on his waist.

He tossed and tossed all morning today, got dizzy in the car all morning, not to mention his stomach was uncomfortable, and his back was sore from sitting.

"Hello..." As soon as Kuang Mu answered the phone, his voice was weak.

Ji Xiaohuan paused and said, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you?"

"What..." Kuang Mu just woke up, his head was very dizzy, and his voice was lazy and slightly hoarse.

"It's [-]:[-], you're sleeping, are you sick?"

Ji Xiaohuan's voice lowered a little, making Kuang Muting's head gradually clear.

He looked up at the clock in the bedroom, and suddenly felt guilty.

Kuang Mu's slender fingertips were tightly hooked on the bed sheet, but his voice said lightly: "I'm not sick, I'm just a little tired."

Ji Xiaohuan was silent for a while, and after a while he said: "Okay, remember to eat later."

"kindness."

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow, take care of yourself."

"it is good."

Most of Kuang Mu's responses to Ji Xiaohuan were like this, a bland word that seemed a bit cold, but apart from these Kuang Mu didn't know what to say.

Ji Xiaohuan hung up the phone, and Kuang Mu sat alone in the room for a while and was stunned, not knowing what to do next.

Every time Ji Xiaohuan ended the call with him, Kuang Mu felt a sense of detachment, that feeling was like a thread of blood was pulled out from his heart, including muscles and tendons.

Not very painful, but very uncomfortable.

Every time Kuang Mu had to slow down for a while to regain his composure.

After 10 minutes, Kuang Mu turned on his cell phone and dialed the number of a person he thought he would never contact in his life.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Kuang Mu came to the community where Ji Xiaohuan's uncle Ji Haojun lived.

He had been to that place once, seven years ago.

Kuang Mu still remembered that this community was very large, and it was a well-known wealthy community in Mingcheng.

There is a large phoenix statue at the gate of the community.

When Kuang Mu came here seven years ago, the phoenix statue was still new. It was painted with pure white paint and stood proudly at the gate, but now the statue has become gray and yellow after years of wind and rain.

Sitting in the taxi, Kuang Mu turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, feeling that the past seven years were like a dream.

The taxi took him all the way to the gate of Ji Haojun's villa.

Kuang Mu got out of the car, and when he was paying the driver, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy also came towards this side on a bicycle.

The boy was wearing a white school uniform, holding the handrail of the bicycle with both hands, his wrists were well-boned, his pure black hair was blown by the wind, and he seemed to be full of the youthful spirit of a boy.

Because his appearance was so outstanding, Kuang Mu glanced at him inadvertently when he raised his head.

The boy obviously saw Kuang Mu too.

His light brown eyes froze for a moment, he parked the car under a tree at the gate of Ji Haojun's villa, and smiled at Kuang Mu.

That smile was very warm, full of kindness against the backdrop of the sun.

Kuang Mu frowned, feeling that the boy's smile looked familiar.

At this time, the driver held the change in his hand, stuck out his hand, and said to Kuang Mu impatiently, "Take the money!"

Only then did Kuang Mu come to his senses and took the money.

Then Kuang Mu turned around and walked towards the gate of Ji Haojun's house.

He went to the iron railing in the garden and rang the bell.

Before the people inside came out to open the door, the boy just stepped forward, holding a bunch of keys in his hand, and put the door card on the top of the key on the sensor and beeped.

The door opened.

At the same time, two big dogs in the yard jumped on the boy wagging their tails.

Kuang Mu was afraid of the dog and took two steps back.

He looked at the boy's back and pondered for a while, then asked belatedly, "Are you Ji Shili?"

Ji Shili's subordinates touched the little head of the golden retriever, and nodded at Kuang Mu with a smile.

Ji Shili seemed to see that Kuang Mu was afraid of dogs, so he turned around and tied the two dogs to the pillars, and pointed his head at Kuang Mu towards the back room to signal Kuang Mu to go in with him.

Kuang Mu looked at Ji Shili's back along the way, feeling his throat was dry, and he was a little speechless.

Only now did Kuang Mu realize how long seven years was.

Seven years may not be obvious to them as adults, and their appearance will not change much, but these years are particularly obvious on children.

Kuang Mu remembered very clearly that Ji Shili was still a child in his early ten years old, with a childish face.

Although he was slightly taller than children of the same age, he didn't even reach Kuang Mu's chest when he stood in front of Kuang Mu.

And now...

Kuang Mu looked at Ji Shili who was walking obliquely in front, he was almost as tall as Ji Xiaohuan, no matter how he looked at it, he was over 185.

His appearance is also more handsome than when he was a child.

It's just that Ji Shili's handsomeness is not as sharp as Ji Xiaohuan's, sharp like a sword, showing his sharpness, but softer and more friendly than Ji Xiaohuan.

Perhaps feeling Kuang Mu's gaze, Ji Shili looked back at Kuang Mu and smiled, took out a small notebook from his pocket, wrote a sentence, and handed it to Kuang Mu.

——Brother Kuang Mu, long time no see.

Seeing the neat and beautiful handwriting on the notebook, Kuang Mu suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

After so long, Ji Shili has grown up, and everything has changed.

He is tall and handsome, and it should have been the best time when he was seventeen or eighteen, but he still couldn't speak...

Kuang Mu pursed his lips, looked up at Ji Shili and said, "Long time no see."

Ji Shili nodded towards Kuangmu.

The two reached the gate, and Ji Shili opened the gate with a key, leading Kuang Mu in.

Then Ji Shili walked to the sofa and gestured please to Kuang Mu.

Kuang Mu said thank you and sat down on the sofa.

There are still about 10 minutes before the appointment time between Kuang Mu and Ji Haojun. Ji Haojun has not returned home yet, and there is only one nanny at home who is preparing tea for Kuang Mu.

Ji Shili walked to the nanny's side, made a gesture, and the nanny put down the water glass in her hand, took two steps back and walked away.

Ji Shili stood in front of the bar in the living room and poured tea for Kuang Mu, and brought it to Kuang Mu himself, very polite.

Kuang Mu said to him, "Thank you."

Ji Shili sat on the sofa opposite Kuang Mu, took out a notebook and began to write.

He held the notebook in front of Kuang Mu, and his shallow eyes looked at Kuang Mu without blinking.

——Brother Kuang Mu, are you waiting for my father?

Kuang Mu said, "Yes."

Ji Shili nodded, lowered his head and was about to continue writing when Kuang Mu's cell phone rang.

It was Aunt Sun who called him.

Kuang Mu said sorry to Ji Shili, walked to the side and picked up Aunt Sun's call.

Aunt Sun is still working as the housekeeper of the Kuang family.

She usually calls Kuang Mu two or three times a week.

Every time, Aunt Sun would ask about Kuang Mu's recent situation, and then tell Kuang Mu some trivial things she heard recently.

She is old and has no children under her knees, so she regards Kuang Mu and Zhou Bingshuang as his children.

Sometimes, like other old ladies, she likes to talk about random things, which is a bit long-winded.

But now Zhou Bingshuang is very busy every day, no one can listen to her except Kuang Mu.

So no matter what Aunt Sun talked about with Kuang Mu, whether Kuang Mu was interested or not, he listened patiently to Aunt Sun every time.

This time Kuang Mu answered the phone, and Aunt Sun routinely asked about Kuang Mu's latest situation.

Kuang Mu stood by the window looking at the scenery outside, and patiently responded to Aunt Sun's words with a low voice.

After asking about Kuang Mu's situation, Aunt Sun began to talk about what happened recently.

She lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Mu, has your second uncle asked someone to contact you recently?"

Kuang Mu frowned.

He has had no contact with the relatives of the Kuang family.

After Ji Xiaohuan's accident that year, Kuang Mu and Kuang Jinshan fell out, and even lost contact with the Kuang family.

"What did he contact me about?"

"He wants you to help him with the lawsuit. He even went to your father to mention this matter a few days ago."

"What lawsuit?" Kuang Mu asked.

Aunt Sun on the phone sighed and said, "Your second uncle is really disappointing! Yongyang Real Estate had such a big trouble back then, and it only calmed down in recent years. A while ago, he opened a chain KTV, in the last month, someone suddenly jointly reported that his KTV was not only involved in pornography, but also involved in drugs! It is said that Kuang Fengliang was also involved in drug trafficking, alas, this time it is a criminal case, and he can’t keep him even if he spends money... ...It is estimated that ten years is not enough."

Aunt Sun sighed several times.

When Kuang Mu heard Aunt Sun say such things, he frowned in disgust.

He didn't want to hear about the dirty things that the Kuang family did, so Kuang Mu lowered his voice and said to Aunt Sun: "I won't help Kuang Fengliang if he finds me. He deserves what he deserves. Aunt Sun, I still have something to do here." , if there is nothing else, I will hang up first."

"Oh, okay, okay, then you are busy and you are busy, you must take care of yourself in the hot weather these days, Xiao Mu."

"okay, I get it."

Kuang Mu hung up the phone, stared out the window with the phone in his hand, and stared blankly for a while.

The garden of Ji Haojun's villa is very large.

It is summer now, and the flowers, plants and trees planted in the garden are all trimmed beautifully, and the greenery is abundant from afar.

At this time, Kuang Mu saw a black car driving in at the gate.

Ji Haojun is back.

Only then did Kuang Mu turn around, and when he looked back, he saw Ji Shili was still sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

Ji Shili changed his sitting posture, leaning his upper body crookedly on the back of the sofa chair, leaning on the armrest with his right elbow, gently swinging the teacup in his hand, looking at Kuang Mu with a pair of light brown eyes with a smile.

It's strange to say that when Ji Shili looked at Kuang Mu with a slight smile in his eyes, Kuang Mu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him.

Kuang Mu walked to the sofa and said to Ji Shili, "Sorry, I answered a call, did you have something to say to me just now?"

Ji Shili smiled at Kuang Mu and shook his head.

At this time, the door of the living room opened, and Ji Haojun walked in.

Ji Shili stood up winkingly, gave up his seat, and walked out of the living room.

Ji Haojun seems to be very busy today.

He arrived 10 minutes later than the agreed time, and he was still wearing a suit, as if he had just attended some important occasion.

Sitting opposite Kuang Mu, Ji Haojun raised his hand to loosen the tie around his neck, and the nanny immediately came over and poured him a cup of tea.

Ji Haojun actually looked younger than the last time Kuang Mu saw him.

The last time Kuang Mu saw Ji Haojun was seven years ago.

Perhaps because of Ji Xiaohuan's incident back then, Ji Haojun's face was haggard and his hair was also gray.

But seeing Ji Haojun again today, his hair has been dyed pure black, and his complexion has also improved.

He is handsome and looks like a mature man in his 40s.

Ji Haojun took two sips from his teacup, looked up at Kuang Mu, and asked him, "What do you want to see me today?"

Kuang Mu had no expression on his face, and asked, "I want to know about the incident when Ji Xiaohuan went to prison."

When Kuang Mu asked this question, Ji Haojun was not surprised at all.

As if he had expected why Kuang Mu came here today, he smiled and said, "Ji Xiaohuan is always by your side now, why don't you ask him directly?"

Kuang Mu squeezed the side of his clothes tightly, and said silently, "I never asked him."

Ji Haojun smiled: "If you ask him, he won't tell you."

Kuang Mu frowned, not understanding what Ji Haojun meant.

Ji Haojun turned his head to the side and blew two mouthfuls of tea, watching Kuang Mu's reaction without haste.

In his memory, Kuang Mu and seven years ago did change a little.

Ji Haojun still remembers the scene when he saw Kuang Mu that year.

At that time, Ji Xiaohuan had just been arrested, and Kuang Mu came to his house alone and asked to testify for Ji Xiaohuan, so that Ji Xiaohuan's sentence could be commuted.

The victim should help the perpetrator, but also allow the perpetrator to reduce his sentence.

What an absurd thing.

But at that time Kuang Mu was sitting where he was sitting now, his face was pale, and his figure was as thin as a fragile glass branch.

He didn't worry about whether Ji Xiaohuan really wanted to kill him, but firmly clenched his fists and told Ji Haojun that he wanted to help Ji Xiaohuan.

At that time, Kuang Mu was reckless but very brave, like a deer who didn't know how deep he was, obviously he was not strong, but he had to bump forward with the horns on his head.

But now Kuang Mu is more mature than then, and he pretends to be calmer and calmer.

He sat opposite Ji Haojun, and it was difficult for Ji Haojun to see the depth of his words and deeds.

"Can you tell me the reason for that year?" Kuang Mu couldn't bear the lengthy silence, so he spoke first.

"Yes." Ji Haojun answered very simply.

He put the cup in his hand back on the tea table, leaned slightly, but did not directly tell Kuang Mu what happened back then, but asked Kuang Mu a question first.

"Are you still blaming him?"

Kuang Mu hesitated.

In fact, he always thought that he didn't blame Ji Xiaohuan.

He has always been very tolerant towards Ji Xiaohuan, he has been like this since he was a child, no matter how Ji Xiaohuan made him angry or sad, as long as Ji Xiaohuan is willing to coax him, he will never blame his brother.

This time Ji Xiaohuan coaxed him for a long time, several months, and Kuang Mu himself thought that he didn't blame him.

But Kuang Mu thought of what he said to Ji Xiaohuan that day...

That sentence was subconscious, without passing through his brain, but it was the most real thought in his heart.

Kuang Mu nodded.

Ji Haojun said: "Ji Xiaohuan never harmed you back then, do you know that?"

Kuang Mu nodded.

Ji Haojun asked again: "Then why did he plead guilty and why did he go to jail, do you know?"

Kuang Mu's fingers clenched his clothes tightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I know."

Ji Haojun raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, he said: "You know? Then why do you say?"

"For that piece of jade..." Kuang Mu's voice was difficult.

"Is this the only reason?" Ji Haojun asked again.

Kuang Mu raised his head, looked at Ji Haojun, and didn't speak.

Ji Haojun looked at him for a while, then suddenly gave a chuckle, shook his head and said: "I thought you and Ji Xiaohuan grew up together, at least you would understand him, but now it seems that you still don't understand Ji Xiaohuan ah......"

Kuang Mu frowned, not understanding what Ji Haojun was talking about.

Ji Haojun's eyes sharpened, he pointed the coffee table with his index finger, looked up at Kuang Mu, and said word by word: "He was willing to plead guilty back then, not for Yu, but for you—"

When Kuang Mu heard these words, his body froze suddenly.

He unconsciously straightened his upper body, clenched his fingers into fists, and said in a hoarse voice, "What are you talking about..."

Ji Haojun didn't stop his voice at all because of Kuang Mu's shocked face.

He didn't give Kuang Mu any buffer time, and told Kuang Mu everything without the slightest ups and downs in his tone.

Every word Ji Haojun uttered was like a heavy hammer, hitting Kuang Mu's heart hard, causing Kuang Mu's face to turn paler and paler, and his hands to grip the sofa more and more firmly.

But Ji Haojun looked at Kuang Mu without any pause on his face, as if he was taking revenge.

He told Kuang Mu about the incident back then without any scruples or reservations.

Ji Haojun told Kuang Mu that Tian Mingyong is indeed a lunatic. He was very prosperous in the road in his early years. He looks calm and steady, but in reality he is cruel and poisonous. There is nothing he dare not do, but he is righteous to his brothers and has a subordinate. Help the outlaws who are willing to work for him.

There is almost no one on the Internet who does not know the name "Tian Ye".

Later, Tian Mingyong had an accident, and it was Lin Guiye who rescued him and helped him.

So Tian Mingyong followed Lin Guiye and became the housekeeper of the Ji family after retiring from the police, but he was only loyal to Lin Guiye, and no one in the Ji family could order him except Lin Guiye.

Later Ji Mingyi died and Lin Guiye fell ill.

Lin Guiye's mind was getting more and more in a trance, he wanted to see Ji Mingyi, he wanted to see that piece of jade.

Ji Mingyi won't be able to see him anymore, but Yu can.

One piece of jade was given to Ji Haojun by Dragon Jade, and the other piece was given to Ji Mingyi by Tiger Jade.

The two jades are indispensable, and the lack of one can drive Lin Guiye crazy.

But Ji Mingyi's piece of jade was in Yan Minhui's hands.

So Ji Xiaohuan promised Lin Guiye to bring her the jade intact.

Agreeing to Lin Guiye is equivalent to agreeing to Tian Mingyong.

Ji Xiaohuan did what he said.

He is very smart, it took him a few months to find the loopholes in Yan Minhui's company, and designed a series of business traps and traps, but
