Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 143: Are You Showing Off?

Lin Jiayin's expression was quite interesting. She leaned against the door, smiling without saying a word. She slightly leaned back, presenting a slightly relaxed posture. Her two long eyelashes blinked at Yun Wuyue.

It seemed like she was saying, "Can't you communicate with people properly?"

Yun Wuyue rolled her eyes directly at Lin Jiayin, looking extremely uninterested.

Lin Jiayin smiled and walked out of the room, quickly going downstairs.

Yun Nan looked at Lin Jiayin's back in confusion. She couldn't understand why Yun Wuyue and Lin Jiayin had a conversation and yet Lin Jiayin was still smiling.

For some reason, she turned her head and looked through the crack in the door.

She only saw Yun Wuyue pinching a preserved plum and swallowing it in one go.

Her eyes narrowed, Yun Nan quickly withdrew her gaze.

Yun Zong and Lin Zong not only didn't fight, but they also seemed to get along well?

And... Yun Wuyue was actually sneaking food!

Yun Nan decided to keep this matter to herself for the rest of her life.

.."480"..

Lin Jiayin put away her smile and glanced at Lin Jiajia's room first...

Lin Jiajia didn't know what she was doing, and her room was still locked.

After opening the door and seeing the visitor, Lin Jiayin immediately greeted, "Oh, Xiaoyi, come in quickly. Jiajia is at home."

"Thank you, Jiayin sister. I want to play with Jiajia for a while."

Ouyang Yi put away her umbrella, placed it in the corner, and changed her shoes.

Lin Jiayin nodded with a smile and watched Ouyang Tai enter Lin Jiajia's room.

Returning to the second floor again, Lin Jiayin pointed to the sofa on the balcony and smiled at Yun Nan, "Go sit for a while."

"Thank you, Lin Zong."

Yun Nan took a step and walked over.

Back in the study, Lin Jiayin looked at the snacks on the table that were missing a few pieces and a smile appeared on her lips.

Yun Wuyue had already returned to her previous expression.

"Besides the Ye Group, what is the second thing?"

Lin Jiayin's expression also became more serious as she looked into Yun Wuyue's eyes. "Mu Bai."

Yun Wuyue had obviously guessed it already. "What... do you want to say?"

Lin Jiayin's gaze became somewhat confused, and she looked out the window.

The night was long, occasionally there were a few lights from street lamps, and Lin Jiayin fell silent for a long time.

Yun Wuyue was not in a hurry this time. Occasionally, she picked up a preserved plum and put it in her mouth, but her expression already seemed to have the answer.

"What... do you know what Mu Bai wants?"

Yun Wuyue's eyes showed a hint of confusion, but then she whispered, "I don't know, but I will give her everything I have."

Lin Jiayin's expression became more complicated...

There was something she didn't say... She had already given everything she had to Li Mubai.

It's just that Li Mubai didn't know yet.

Although Yun Wuyue's expression seemed indifferent, she was also deep in thought.

When Xu Shiwen came to find her last time, she had also pondered over related questions.

At that time, she and Lin Jiayin were equally anxious.

The number of women surrounding Li Mubai was increasing.

But Li Mubai seemed to have no intention of stopping.

What he wanted, what he wanted to do... was completely unclear.

And it was at this moment.

Yun Wuyue's phone buzzed.

The screen lit up, and Yun Wuyue raised an eyebrow.

It was a call from Xu Shiwen.

Looking up, Lin Jiayin nodded, indicating that Yun Wuyue could answer the call.

"Hello."

"Hello, Sister Wuyue, is Mubai with you? I just called the hospital... they said Mubai has been discharged."

Yun Wuyue fell silent for a moment. "No, after we separated, he left."

Xu Shiwen on the other end of the phone was speechless for a while before asking softly, "Then where can Mubai go? It's raining heavily outside today..."

"I don't know."

Four simple words seemed to be Xu Shiwen's answer.

But at the same time, they struck a chord in Lin Jiayin and Yun Wuyue's softest spots.

"Well... Wuyue, you go ahead, I'll hang up."

"Okay."

The screen went dark, just as Lin Jiayin was about to speak, she only managed to open her mouth.

Yun Wuyue's phone rang again.

This time it was Yun Lianxing.

"Sis, Mubai has been discharged?! Is... he with you?"

Yun Wuyue didn't know what to say, and repeated, "No, he left alone."

"Ah..." Yun Lianxing on the other end of the phone fell silent too. "Then... sis, do you know where Mubai went? There's a blue rainstorm warning today!"

"I don't know."

Before Yun Lianxing could respond, Yun Wuyue hung up the phone, her expression seeming a little angry.

"Why does everyone think that Mubai is with me? I know where he is."

Yun Wuyue lowered her head and gently rubbed her temples.

"Are you showing off?"

Suddenly, Lin Jiayin spoke softly from the other side.

Yun Wuyue turned her head and looked lovingly at Lin Jiayin.

Showing off?

When no one could reach Li Mubai, everyone's first instinct, even subconsciously, was to think that Yun Wuyue could reach him.

But Yun Wuyue said she couldn't possibly know...

It seemed like there was a hint of showing off, but Yun Wuyue truly felt innocent.

Why did they all think she should know where Li Mubai was? What did they want from her?

She looked at Lin Jiayin in confusion...

Lin Jiayin's eyes showed clear jealousy. "Because he admitted to loving you, and only you, from beginning to end."

As she spoke, Lin Jiayin picked up her phone, smiling self-deprecatingly.

Only to see that Lin Jiayin's phone screen showed that a call had already been dialed.

And the person being called was Li Mubai.

But the call had been rejected.

Yun Wuyue looked down at her own phone, her expression hesitant.

She couldn't explain what she felt in her heart...

She was afraid that if she made this call, the slight sense of intimacy between her and Li Mubai, which she had just sensed from Lin Jiayin's words, would become blurred again.

And she was even more afraid of the same outcome as Lin Jiayin.

Because it meant that, to Li Mubai, she was no different from Xu Shiwen, Yun Lianxing, Lin Jiayin... and the others.

With the awkward relationship between her and Xu Shiwen now, would he still be willing to call her?

He would definitely call Li Mubai first.

But she thought that the result would be the same as Lin Jiayin's, rejected, and she would have to call him reluctantly.

Although she didn't want to, they all believed that, besides Li Mubai himself, there was only one person who was most likely to know where Li Mubai was...

That person was Yun Wuyue.

Lin Jiayin tapped her chin and looked at Yun Wuyue's phone.

The meaning was clear.

Yun Wuyue lowered her head again, took a deep breath, as if waiting for a verdict, and opened the dial pad.

Entering one digit after another.

Even though Li Mubai's phone number was already displayed on the dial pad from the 3.7 contacts, Yun Wuyue stubbornly pressed the buttons.

Then, she pressed the call button.

"Beep, beep~"

A rhythmic sound came from the receiver.

Lin Jiayin placed both arms on the table, clasping her hands together, covering her lips as if in prayer.

Yun Wuyue pursed her lips, leaning back against the chair, her right hand against her forehead, her thumb resting on her belly...

The next second.
