"Don't scare me, Ning Ning. If you don't open the door, will I break down the door?"
The door was opened from the inside.
After seeing Mu Ning's confused sleeping face, Lu Xinting took her hand back and muttered, "Ning Ning, are you here?"
Mu Ning turned around and let her in, "If I weren't here, where would I be?"
Lu Xinting followed behind her, "Then I called and knocked on the door. Why didn't you open the door? I was shocked. I thought you couldn't get over it..."
Lu Xinting said as she put the food on the table, and suddenly realized something.
She secretly looked at Mu Ning's face.
Mu Ning didn't have any expression. She opened the curtains, and a whole starry sky surged over with the sound of sea water, which was very vivid.
She smiled and said, "Xinting, since I was seven years old, I have known that my life will not be easy. It is not easy for me to think about it."
Lu Xinting wanted to answer her words, but was attracted by the starry sky outside the window. She suddenly looked around in surprise, "Ning Ning, how much does your room cost per night? Why don't I feel like I can afford it?"
Mu Ning paused and said, "Oh, the hotel gave me a free upgrade."
"..." Lu Xinting winked, "Can such a good thing happen?"
"Yes, they rented out the room I booked before without my consent or even a phone call, and they used this room as compensation."
"Then this is too exaggerated! What on earth do they think? How much will they lose this night? It's all for nothing!"
Mu Ning shrugged, "You can live with me as long as you want. Why do you want to know what they think?"
Lu Xinting walked around the room, speechless.
Mu Ning glanced at the table, "Tingting, did you bring fried chicken? Beer?"
There was a whole box of beer, and I don’t know how she carried it all by herself.
Lu Xinting's voice came from the bathroom, "Is it better for me? I know you must not have eaten tonight. It just matches the view of this sea-view room. Let's eat fried chicken and drink beer until we get drunk."
In the past, Gu Zhiyin strictly prohibited her from drinking, but now no one cares about her, and she can finally let herself go.
Mu Ning was sitting cross-legged on the sofa on the balcony. Lu Xinting couldn't hold it anymore and opened two bottles of beer without pouring it into the cup. She just raised her head and took a few sips from the bottle.
"happy!"
Mu Ning faced the sea breeze and took a sip, which was refreshing and refreshing.
After going back and forth, the two of them didn't eat much and drank a little too much.
Lu Xinting sighed.
"Ning Ning, do you know? I used to envy you. You are raised by a rich, handsome and powerful man like Gu Zhiyin. No matter if he is uncle, father or boyfriend, you are so respectable. Every day You can eat it just by looking at it, what a beautiful thing.”
She burped, gritted her teeth and cursed angrily, "I realize now that he is a bastard, a scum of an animal. How could he treat you like that? Is he still a human being? His beautiful face was blinded in vain, bah! "
"When I see him in the future, I will slaughter all eighteen generations of his ancestors! How could he teach such a dog man! He is simply a lunatic!"
Lu Xinting's tongue was so big that she kept popping out civilized words one after another.
Mu Ning was lying on the table, his eyes were blurred, his cheeks were pink, and he looked delicate and naive.
She nodded aggrievedly, "Xinting... I envy you so much. You have parents, you have your own home, you will also have a husband who loves you in the future, and you will have lovely children... But I don't know anything about it. There’s nothing… nothing left…”
Lu Xinting felt extremely distressed and hugged Mu Ning's shoulders, "Fool, you have me, fuck the man, fuck Gu Zhiyin, it's his loss if he doesn't care for you or love you, I will love you from now on, I love you, let him get out of here!"
Mu Ning chuckled.
Lu Xinting finally expressed her worries, "Ning Ning, you will be alone after you leave the Gu family. I mean, with Gu Zhiyin here before, no one dared to touch you even if you walked around the capital. Everything is possible. He's carrying you around. Now that Gu Zhiyin is gone, won't you be used to it?"
Mu Ning suddenly raised the wine bottle and said loudly: "I want to be self-reliant and let him know that I can live without him and live well!"
"That's great if you think so!" Lu Xinting had always hoped that she could get rid of Gu Zhiyin and grow up on her own.
She pinched Mu Ning's face and said, "Ning Ning, it's not like you are in the Gu family now. You have no source of income, so you have to save a little, you know?"
"But don't worry. I will protect you from now on. If you have no money, just tell me. I have a small treasury and can still afford to support you."
"No need, Xinting, I have money."
Mu Ning stumbled and took the phone, "If you don't believe me, just take a look."
Lu Xinting came over, leaned on her phone, and counted several times.
Even though he was drunk, he could still feel the huge number.
"Fuck, eight million!"
Too reckless.
She just said she wanted to raise Mu Ning... She'd better hold her thigh with peace of mind.
"Tsk, although Gu Zhiyin is annoying, I have to say that he has not been harsh on you in terms of money in these years. This amount is enough for you to spend three to five years without any problem."
Eight million?
Mu Ning was startled.
She couldn't remember clearly. It seemed that the last time she was going abroad, Gu Zhiyin called her daddy twice and got the money from him. There were many other times when she saved up all the money she wanted from Gu Zhiyin and waited. It's for going abroad.
It turns out that there are already so many.
Mu Ning said blankly: "Oh, these were originally intended to be used abroad."
"Going abroad?" Lu Xinting grabbed Mu Ning's arm, "Are you still going abroad? Haven't you always wanted to go abroad?"
Mu Ning shook his head, "I have no plans for the time being, I will graduate first."
"Why did you change your mind?"
"I used to go abroad to escape him, and then I went abroad to be with him better. Now I don't need either, and it doesn't mean much. If you want to further your studies, wait until you graduate."
"Okay, no matter what decision you make, I will support you!"
The two got drunk and turned on the TV and stereo in the middle of the night, jumping around the room.
…
On the other side, Song Heng sent Gu Zhiyin back to the villa, still a little worried.
Gu Zhiyin waved him away directly.
He hadn't eaten and wasn't hungry. The bright villa was deserted and cold, but not a single light was turned on for him.
He stood in the hall, feeling empty in his heart.
This place is filled with the atmosphere of her life. She left, but it seems she has not left.
A splitting headache.
He pinched his eyebrows, unbuttoned his collar, and sat down on the sofa.
Zhang Ma frowned when she heard the voice. She didn't want to care about him at first, but she was still worried.
"Headache?"
Zhang Ma knew that he had headaches.
This problem started when Mr. Gu passed away and branches of the Gu family came to make trouble.
At that time, the competition for property was very fierce. He was only half a child, and his parents died early. It was not easy for a person to support a huge family and face relatives who could eat people without spitting out their bones.
But later, after Mu Ning came, his headaches gradually became less frequent.
Gu Zhiyin paused when he heard the sound, and then gave a faint hum.
Zhang Ma went to the kitchen and poured him a glass of water.
When she turned to leave, Gu Zhiyin stopped her and said, "Mama Zhang, help me find something."
…
Gu Zhiyin locked himself in the room, inserted the USB flash drive into his laptop, and then put it on the big screen on the wall.
There are twelve videos in total, recording every birthday of Mu Ning.
From seven to nineteen years old.
Gu Zhiyin was leaning on the sofa, holding a burning cigarette between his fingers and holding a glass of wine, while his dark eyes stared silently at the girl on the screen.
At first, she was a little girl with braids and two teeth missing. She looked like she was seeing a cake for the first time. Her eyes were watery and she showed a surprised expression.
Then a surprise smile appeared on her young face, and she took the gift from his hand.
Then slowly, there is a young girl with a fair face filled with youth, smiling happily with a group of friends.
It kept changing every year, and finally appeared in front of him as a woman.
