Quite awkward

Chapter 161: Really a Heartless Person

During this meal, there was no communication between Qi Yu and Muchenan. They seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and deliberately did not talk to each other.

But in Mu Yanqing's eyes, he felt that Qi Yu had already let go of her feelings for Mu Chenan. She was indifferent to her ex throughout and obviously had no intention of getting back together.

Most of his attention was focused on discussing company affairs with Muchenan, and he only occasionally paid attention to Qi Yu.

After Qi Yu had eaten his fill, he put down his chopsticks, stood up, said hello to the two of them, and left.

It was not until she walked out of the box that Mu Chenan turned his gaze back and continued his brother's words very naturally.

Mu Yanqing's face turned slightly cold, but he didn't point out the matter, lest he become slick and start acting inappropriately again.

The two chatted until ten o'clock in the evening, when the restaurant closed and their respective drivers were waiting at the hotel entrance.

At the moment of parting, Mu Chenan stood under the street light and suddenly remembered to ask: "Brother, which hotel are you staying in?"

Mu Yanqing intended to keep this matter secret, and walked away, leaving behind a sentence: "It doesn't matter which hotel I stay in, you should go back and rest early."

A black business car drove away in front of him. Mu Chenan saw that the route the car took was completely different from the direction of his own hotel, so he guessed that his elder brother might be wary of him, so he deliberately did not reveal the specific location of the hotel where he and Qi Yu were staying.

It's really unnecessary.

A moment later, Muchen got into his own car. He asked the driver to drive around on the nearby roads while he made a phone call to someone.

Unfortunately, the line is busy.

He was very patient and waited for a few minutes before calling Qi Yu again.

This time it finally worked.

"Do you want me to come and keep you company tonight?" Mu Chenan asked directly.

"No need." Qi Yu refused without thinking.

Her elder brother lived next door to her, so she didn't have the courage to ask Mu Chenan to come and accompany her. Besides, the hotel was comfortable and safe, unlike the gloomy atmosphere of a B&B room. She felt very comfortable here alone.

“What a heartless person.”

Qi Yu hesitated for a moment, thinking that she had indeed been using him these past two days, and she would dump him after she was done with him. She did not feel much guilt in her heart.

"No more chatting, I'm sleepy."

Too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him.

"Don't go to sleep yet, I have something serious to tell you."

Mu Chenan thought about it and decided to tell her the truth about the blue-tiled house now to eliminate her fear of the house and ensure that she could live in the B&B with peace of mind in the future.

When Qi Yu learned the cause and effect of the ghost story, he suddenly gained a deeper understanding of human nature.

She discovered that, apart from her eldest brother, no one in this world seemed to truly wish her the best from beginning to end.

The owner of the blue-tiled house just made a fortune through business, but his former neighbor, out of hatred for the rich, maliciously fabricated a ghost story to frame him. This false story was even widely circulated, making many people believe it.

Reality is always more complicated than fiction.

Qi Yu is living the life of a character in a script, but her life is absolutely in her own hands.

"Qi Yu, are you still there?"

She came to her senses and replied, "I'm here."

“What were you thinking about just now?”

"I was just shocked after hearing the truth. I didn't expect human nature to be so bad," she admitted.

Mu Chenan was silent for a moment, feeling that he was even worse than those people.

The business world is like a battlefield, and his swift and decisive approach always terrifies his competitors.

Just now during the meal, his elder brother advised him that the group should develop in a stable and progressive manner and remember not to be reckless.

He has been the president for many years and is very experienced. He knows how to weigh the pros and cons and is better at judging the situation than his elder brother.

He didn't want to be a dwarf in love and a coward in his career.

Whatever you want to do, just do it with all your might.

Therefore, he would not give up Qi Yu because of his elder brother's obstruction.

-

It rained all night in Qingcheng, making the road very slippery.

On Sunday, Qi Yu got up early in the morning and went to the styling studio to get her hair done. She had to dye her hair and curl it, so it would probably take her a whole day.

Mu Yanqing volunteered to stay with her, planning to send her back to Yuening Ancient Town after she was done.

He had a big class on Monday afternoon, so in order to stay in Qingcheng longer, he booked a flight back to Yunnan and Guizhou on Monday morning.

Qi Yu was sitting in a swivel chair with a reclining back. The stylist was applying layer upon layer of hair dye to her hair. She lowered her chin slightly and held her phone in both hands to check her unread messages.

After casually reading some unimportant information above, she clicked on the chat box with Mu Chenan and naturally saw his message.

Mu Chenan: [I'm back in Linjiang today. If you say you miss me, I'll come see you right away.]

Mu Chenan: [Also, tell Big Brother to leave quickly.]

Qi Yu also did not reply to him, intending to cool down the intimacy that had suddenly occurred in the past few days. She wanted to deal with the emotional problems by escaping, and she did not have an accurate answer in her heart.

In fact, she didn't want to have any further contact with him, but she became dependent on him unknowingly.

She despised herself for being like this, but didn't want to embarrass herself, so she could only choose to deal with this relationship in an indifferent and perfunctory manner.

It turned out that Mu Chenan had predicted her right.

This is totally the behavior of a scumbag.

She will reflect, but she won't change.

This wasn't an act of revenge on her part.

……

Mu Yanqing had nothing to do, so he sat on the sofa in the styling studio and flipped through several fashion magazines. None of the magazines was as attractive as his professional books.

At noon, he went to the mall alone to eat, and when he came back he packed a light salad for Qi Yu.

This is what she specifically requested to eat.

Mu Yanqing has now become Qi Yu's assistant, but he is happy to do these things for her.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Yu finally finished doing her hair. Her original long black hair turned into the current big reddish-brown waves, which was a necessary image change for the character in the play.

The stylist said that this hair color makes her look whiter and more fashionable.

When Mu Yanqing saw it for the first time, he smiled and praised it for being beautiful.

Qi Yu raised her hand and touched the ends of her hair, a smile on her face.

As an actress, she always has to try various hairstyles, so whether it looks good or not is secondary, the key is whether it fits the role.

"It's getting late. Go back to the hotel to get your things. I'll take you back to the ancient town."

Qi Yu picked up her bag and took a car back to the hotel with him. It was raining all the way and it seemed like it would continue to rain.

"Brother, why don't I go back to the ancient town by myself? You've been with me all day, and the weather isn't very good."

She wanted him to rest in his room instead of running back and forth on a rainy day.

Mu Yanqing lowered his eyes to look at her and insisted, "It's okay to have a driver. I won't feel at ease until I see you return safely to the guesthouse in the ancient town. Riding in a car is also a way to rest."

Qi Yu sighed slightly.

The eldest brother always considers her in every aspect. His kindness to her is even unbearable. She has no idea how to repay him.

Qi Yu took her personal belongings from the room, and Mu Yanqing checked out for her. The two of them returned to the car.

At that time, it was rush hour in this small third-tier city. The car was moving slowly, as if its pace was slowed down by time.

Qi Yu pressed the car window and reached out to feel the raindrops falling from the sky.

The rain gradually subsided, and the air was mixed with the smell of floating dust, which made people feel nervous and depressed.

-

Yuening Ancient Town is striving to become a popular local tourist attraction, and the road leading from the main city to the ancient town has been widened to be spacious and smooth, with only a few cars driving along the way.

Mu Yanqing had a phone call with a student in the car. After putting down the phone, he turned to look at Qi Yu, looked at her new hairstyle carefully, and was about to start a conversation.

The next moment, I suddenly heard a roar in my ears, approaching from a distance like a flash of lightning, and gradually became deafening.

A five-person motorcycle convoy completely disregarded traffic regulations and drove against traffic on the road. This behavior is extremely dangerous.

Faced with the sudden emergency on the road, the driver swerved the steering wheel and angrily cursed: "Dare to drive fast in this weather? You are really risking your life."

Qi Yu's heart was beating rapidly and he felt a strong sense of unease.

She was just about to move to the middle and look forward, but Mu Yanqing noticed the serious situation on the road faster than she did, and quickly grabbed her arm, holding her tightly in his arms.

With a loud bang, the two motorcycles collided violently with the black commercial vehicle. The motorcycle was like a giant beast, slamming into the rear door. The door was quickly deformed under the impact, with a large part dented, and the glass was shattered and fell into and out of the car.

The people in the car were frightened at first, and then knocked unconscious by the strong impact of the collision.

The front and rear seat airbags popped out, and the driver withstood the pressure and stopped the car.

At this moment, a sharp piece of glass pierced the back of Mu Yanqing's hand, but his injured hand was still firmly blocking the side of Qi Yu's head.

At the same time, due to the slippery road surface, three other motorcycles lost control and were thrown off the road, creating a chaotic scene.

……

"Brother, brother, are you still awake?"

Mu Yanqing was lying unconscious on the stretcher in the ambulance.

Qi Yu's hair was disheveled, her shoulders were twitching and shaking, and her eyes were red.

She placed her hands gently on the side of his face, sobbing, wanting to feel the warmth of his body.

Her originally slender white wrist was now covered with purple bruises and had swollen a circle, which was particularly shocking.

Not long ago, at the moment of the car accident, Mu Yanqing used his broad body to protect Qi Yu in time, blocking all the impact for her. After the accident subsided, he held up the hand that was pierced by the glass, lowered his head and wanted to care for the person in his arms first.

He spoke with difficulty: "Ah...Ah Yu, are you...ok?"

Qi Yu had not yet recovered from the shock. She was breathing rapidly and her throat was dry. She immediately raised her head from his arms to breathe in plenty of fresh air. So before she could answer his question, her body involuntarily collapsed and she fell into a deep coma.

In addition to the obvious external injuries on the back of his hand, she was particularly afraid that the strong impact would cause potential damage to the human internal organs, or that broken bones would puncture surrounding organs. These were all hidden problems that could not be ignored.

It was not until the moment she saw her elder brother being pushed into the operating room that her tense emotions completely collapsed. She leaned against the wall, covered her face and cried, immersed in sadness and pain.

If her eldest brother had not protected her in time, the sharp glass fragment would have mercilessly pierced her head, and she might have become one of the seriously injured, suffering from physical pain and mental torture.

The "operation in progress" indicator light came on in the operating room.

Qi Yu was waiting nervously outside. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed that her elder brother would be able to walk out of the operating room safely.

At this moment, her brother's cell phone in her pocket vibrated a few times.

When I took it out, I saw that it was a call from Muchenan.

Qi Yu sniffed, his fingertips trembling as he pressed the green answer button.

"Brother, I've been to Linjiang. I've read the document. You're right..."

Before Mu Chenan could finish his words, he heard an extremely familiar female voice, which was full of pity and fragility.

"Brother, my eldest brother was in a car accident and he's in the operating room right now."

Qi Yu finished this sentence with a hoarse throat, and her tears flowed uncontrollably, dripping onto the white floor tiles of the hospital and forming a puddle of water.

Mu Chenan's heart sank suddenly. It took him a few seconds to digest the bad news. Then he asked anxiously, "Why did the car accident happen? Is my brother seriously injured? What about you? How are you? Are you hurting anywhere?"

Qi Yu was so confused by the flurry of questions that her attention was completely focused on her eldest brother. She continued to answer with a trembling voice, "I saw a lot of blood on his hand. He asked if I was okay, and then he fainted. I kept calling out to him in the ambulance, but he didn't wake up."

After that, she said whatever came to her mind.

"It was almost evening when my brother drove me back to Yuening Ancient Town. On the way back, we encountered a few young people on motorcycles going the wrong way. Because it had just rained, they couldn't control the direction of their motorcycles and crashed directly into our car. The driver was also slightly injured, but not as seriously as my brother."

"Qi Yu." Mu Chenan couldn't help but call her name, trying to bring her a little comfort.

She continued to talk about the car accident as if mumbling to herself.

"I don't know how badly the motorcyclists were injured, but it seems they were all loaded into ambulances."

As she spoke, Qi Yu felt a surge of sadness in the corners of her eyes and the tip of her nose, and her heart ached. She poured out all her heartache.

"Second brother, it was my eldest brother who protected me at the moment of the car accident. If it weren't for him, I would have been the one injured."

Mu Chenan's heart was shaken, but he wasn't particularly surprised.

Protecting Qi Yu's personal safety at the critical moment is what the eldest brother must do. Her fragile body cannot withstand such a severe impact.

Just big brother...

He is still lying unconscious in the operating room, and everything is unknown.
