Lin Qiqi put down her phone, eyes full of disappointment.
She wanted to take the opportunity to add Gu Zhiyin's WeChat account and get closer to him, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't give her a chance.
What does it mean to hang up directly? Don’t you want to take care of it?
Lin Qiqi felt that her calculations were wrong. Gu Zhiyin didn't seem to care who Mu Ning fell in love with.
The sky was overcast and it was threatening to rain.
Lin Qiqi glanced at the coffee shop again and drove away unwillingly.
…
Mu Ning looked at the steaming coffee on the table, "What do you want from me?"
He Xiangyang suddenly looked at her seriously, "Ning Ning, have you known Gu Zhiyin for a long time?"
Mu Ning was slightly stunned, not expecting He Xiangyang to mention Gu Zhiyin.
She didn't hide it, "It's been a long time."
"you like him?"
Mu Ning was silent and nodded.
"Then you two are...together now?"
Mu Ning said softly "Hmm".
He Xiangyang took a deep breath.
Mu Ning didn't want him to keep asking, "If you have anything to say, you can just say it."
"Ning Ning, Gu Zhiyin is very dangerous, stay away from him."
Unexpectedly, He Xiangyang said something like this.
Mu Ning smiled, "He Xiangyang, why do you worry about me?"
"Ning Ning, I know that you little girls love powerful men. He does have some status in the capital, but you don't understand him. He is not as good as you think. He is too complicated..."
After hearing this, Mu Ning was a little unhappy.
She frowned, "He Xiangyang, what exactly do you want to say."
He Xiangyang was interrupted by her, stared at her silently for a moment, and breathed out.
"Last time my bar was smashed, I thought it was vicious competition in the industry."
"But I've always found it strange. Vicious competition doesn't lead to wealth, so why should I arrest you?"
"Later, I specially asked someone to investigate, and the group of people who rushed in..."
He Xiangyang looked at her and said, "Gu Zhiyin called me here."
Mu Ning paused.
All expressions were frozen on his face.
"I know you must be shocked when you hear it, and most likely you won't believe it. If you look at this, you will believe what I say."
He Xiangyang opened his phone and showed it to her.
Mu Ning only glanced at it, and his face began to turn pale.
She bit her lip. The video was still playing, but she had already looked away, not wanting to watch it anymore.
It was Gu Zhiyin who ordered people to smash up He Xiangyang's bar and break his hand.
"Ning Ning, he smashed up my shop and took it out on me. He staged a drama of a hero saving a beauty, making you think that he saved you, and you feel grateful to him."
"Once you do this kind of thing too much, a girl like you who is easy to deceive will naturally become admirable and dependent on him."
"But all this was directed and acted by him. Ning Ning, his motives are not pure. Don't be deceived by him."
Mu Ning's face turned pale, unable to respond to He Xiangyang's words.
Her mind was in turmoil now.
The cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
Mu Ning was startled.
Picking up the phone and looking at it, Gu Zhiyin's number was beating.
Mu Ning's palms were sweaty and he pressed several times before hanging up.
After a while, it rang again.
Mu Ning knew that if he didn't answer, he would keep hitting.
She licked her chapped lips, glanced at He Xiangyang, and answered.
"Where is Ning Ning?"
His voice was a little deeper, but still as gentle as ever.
Mu Ning felt a little heavy, "I was shopping with Lu Xinting."
"I'm hungry. Can Ning Ning accompany me to eat?"
"Let's talk about it later."
Mu Ning responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone in a hurry.
She muted her phone and turned it upside down on the table.
Outside the French window, a Bentley was parked on the roadside.
The man clenched the phone with his cold knuckles and stared at the girl in the cafe with his dark eyes.
"Master Gu, do you want to go in and bring Miss Mu out?"
"Ning Ning asked me to wait for her."
Gu Zhiyin chuckled, "I want to see how long she can make me wait."
Song Heng only felt that the smile on his face was creepy.
Gu Zhiyin sat in the car and kept looking at her and He Xiangyang.
The whole carriage was suffocating.
Song Heng felt that if this situation continued, Master Gu was not crazy, but he was about to go crazy.
I just hope that Miss Mu Ning can end it soon.
As a result, Song Heng turned around and saw Mu Ning holding He Xiangyang's hand.
what's the situation?
"Master Gu..."
He swallowed subconsciously and looked in the rearview mirror.
Gu Zhiyin's eyes were full of self-deprecating sneers.
Let him guess what He Xiangyang would say to Ning Ning, so that she would not hesitate to lie to him.
…
It took Mu Ning a long time to digest what He Xiangyang said.
"your hands……"
"It's useless."
Mu Ning's lips trembled.
He Xiangyang's hands could no longer lift heavy objects, and would twitch slightly from time to time.
The doctor said that continued treatment may improve his condition, so he should not get too high hopes.
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurts when it rains."
Mu Ning let go of his hand and looked at him apologetically, "I'm sorry."
"Ning Ning, you don't need to apologize to me. This is of my own free will."
Mu Ning shook his head, feeling extremely depressed.
It didn't know when it started raining outside the window, pattering on the glass.
She turned her head and unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a car parked on the side of the road.
Mu Ning was stunned.
The window was lowered at this point.
They looked at each other through the blurry curtain of rain.
Mu Ning's breath tightened.
Suddenly, lightning appeared in the sky.
The coffee shop suddenly lost power and fell into darkness.
The customers were in an uproar, "What's going on? Why is the power outage?"
The blood on Mu Ning's face faded, and he looked at the heavy rain outside the window with a touch of fear in his eyes.
She trembled her lips and stood up to leave.
A thunderous "boom" sounded.
"ah--"
Mu Ning held his head and screamed uncontrollably.
He Xiangyang was startled, and everyone looked here strangely, "What's going on with that girl?"
"It's just a power outage, why such a big reaction?"
Mu Ning's body was shaking violently.
"Ning Ning!"
He Xiangyang stood up immediately, walked around the table to her side, and stretched out his hand to comfort her.
Suddenly a coat was put on Mu Ning's head, and she was picked up.
He Xiangyang looked up at the man who appeared and subconsciously took a step back.
"Leave far away."
Gu Zhiyin said something coldly, hugged Mu Ning and left.
Song Heng held an umbrella for him outside the door, and he carried Mu Ning into the car.
"Be good, it's okay, I'm here."
She huddled in his arms like a frightened cat.
Every time it rains or thunders, Gu Zhiyin will almost always be by her side. Over time, a kind of dependence has formed.
Only in Gu Zhiyin's arms would Mu Ning not be frightened by the thunder.
Fortunately, the weather in Beijing is dry and rain is rare throughout the year.
Today, for some reason, the sky is so gloomy that it makes people breathless.
Gu Zhiyin comforted her gently.
After the burst of thunder passed, Mu Ning recovered from the huge fear.
She looked at Gu Zhiyin, her eyes suddenly turned red, "Gu Zhiyin, why did the coffee shop suddenly lose power?"
Gu Zhiyin stirred and looked at her like a frightened little rabbit. The suppressed emotions in his heart dissipated a lot, and he slowly raised his lips, "Maybe there was a thunderstorm and the voltage was unstable."
He touched her head, "Are you scared?"
"The voltage is really unstable. Isn't it your fault?"
The smile on Gu Zhiyin's lips froze, "Do you think I did it?"
Thinking of He Xiangyang telling her everything Gu Zhiyin planned behind her back.
Mu Ning pushed him away in response, "Who else but you would do such a despicable and boring thing."
There was a thunder, the coffee shop happened to have a power outage, and he appeared just in time to rescue her from the excessive shock.
He did this kind of self-directed and self-acted things very often.
The temperature in Gu Zhiyin's eyes gradually cooled down.
"Uh, Miss Mu, interrupt me, you have wronged Mr. Gu."
Mu Ning glanced at Song Heng.
Song Heng wanted to say something to Gu Zhiyin, "You and Mr. He were chatting harmoniously in the coffee shop. Mr. Gu was waiting outside and didn't come in to disturb you..."
"No need to explain." Gu Zhiyin reached out and pressed the button, causing the partition in the car to rise.
"If you have any other charges, just tell me."
When Mu Ning saw him like this, he knew he was angry.
"Okay, I misunderstood you just now. Did you ask someone to smash He Xiangyang's bar?"
Gu Zhiyin was not surprised by Mu Ning's question and snorted lightly, "Is this the purpose of asking you for coffee today?"
"Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"
He nodded, "I asked someone to smash it."
"You even disabled one of his hands!"
"Now I regret why I didn't destroy him."
"You..." Mu Ning gritted his teeth angrily.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Ning into his arms, but Mu Ning dodged him.
"Gu Zhiyin, you make me hate you again."
