Su Junyan was obviously stunned, as if he had never expected to get such an answer.

Just then the car arrived. After Mu Jin showed him the handwriting, he turned around, opened the door and got in.

Su Junyan watched her walk away without looking back. It was not until the car drove away that he realized that Mu Jin had rejected him.

It seems that this task is more difficult than imagined.

......

In the restaurant kitchen, Song Yunchen was busy and sweating, washing the piles of dishes.

Mu Jin quietly appeared at the door and took out the handwriting on the paper to show him.

Song Yunchen was surprised at first, then a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but he finally nodded.

When Su Junyan was waiting outside the restaurant as usual after get off work, he saw this scene:

Mu Jin was seen holding Song Yunchen's arm affectionately, and the two of them walked out very intimately.

Under Su Junyan's shocked gaze, Song Yunchen spoke according to the pre-arranged words:

"Second Master Su, as you can see, Xiao Jin and I are together. Thank you for coming all the way here, but from now on... I won't bother you with anything."

Su Junyan's gaze fell on Mu Jin's arm around Song Yunchen, and his eyes were dazed for a moment.

Just as he was about to say something, Mu Jin had already pulled Song Yunchen into the car.

After the car drove away, she looked through the rearview mirror at the man who was still standing there, his figure gradually shrinking, and said silently in her heart:

"Su Junyan, we are not suitable. I am no longer the Mu Jin I used to be. I no longer have the courage to stand by your side. Go away and meet a better girl who is more suitable for you."

The scenery outside the car window was rapidly receding, just like the misplaced fate between them.

Mu Jin closed her eyes and buried deep in her heart the feelings that she had to extinguish with her own hands before they could even blossom.

At this moment, Su Junyan was standing on the street, looking at the cars going away, and for the first time he felt what heartache was.

He didn't understand why, when he finally saw his own heart clearly and decided to take that step, he had already lost the qualifications to get close to her.

It was also at this moment that he truly understood what his younger sister said: if you don’t grab it early, it will be too late when you miss it.

Yes, love, no one will always be waiting for you.

......

Song Yunchen was very happy at first, but when he saw Mu Jin staring at Su Junyan through the car window, his heart sank a little bit.

Her eyes and her heart were clearly still on that man.

His voice was bitter, breaking the silence in the car: "Do you love him so much?"

Mu Jin came back to his senses and shook his head slightly.

Song Yunchen suddenly gripped the steering wheel tightly: "If you don't love him, why are you staring at him? If you don't love him, why are your eyes...red? Xiaojin, you can lie to others, but don't lie to yourself."

Hearing this, Mu Jin lowered his head, trying to hide the bitterness in his eyes.

She slowly typed on her phone: [I am no longer worthy of him.]

"Tsk--" Song Yunchen was so angry after seeing this sentence that he stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.

"You can't think like that... You're very good. At least in my heart, whether in the past or now, you are the best girl in the world. You are worthy of any man and deserve the best love!"

Mu Jin opened her eyes wide in surprise, as if she had not expected him to be so excited.

Song Yunchen suddenly turned his head and looked into her eyes seriously: "Xiao Jin, since you don't choose him, then choose me, okay?"

He couldn't help but grab her hand, and with the courage to burn his boats, he said, "If you think the Song family's family background is too high, then I don't want anything. I will give all my property to my sister, leave the house empty-handed, and from now on, it will just be the two of us together."

Mu Jin pulled his hand back abruptly as if he had been scalded.

Song Yunchen did not give up and continued to confess: "Xiao Jin, I am sincere, from a long time ago..."

Before she finished speaking, Mu Jin was already typing anxiously on her phone: [Song Yunchen, calm down. I just said it, it's just acting. You're a good person, but I don't like you.]

Looking at the clear words on the screen, Song Yunchen seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He slowly let go of his hand, his eyes hurt: "Xiao Jin, your words make my heart hurt. I would rather you say something else than give me a nice guy card."

The carriage fell into a long silence.

In the end, Mu Jin only wrote three words: [I'm sorry.]

......

Song Yunchen sent Mu Jin back to the residential building in the alley of the old city.

Because Mu Jin rejected all his good intentions, he still waited outside.

It was just getting dark when the alleys of the residential buildings were suddenly filled with noise.

Mu Jin was not asleep yet. He was startled by the noise outside and pushed the door open.

The corridor was packed with sleepy residents. The building owner was knocking on every door, announcing, "Everyone, this building has been acquired. Everyone needs to move out immediately!"

A tenant who was woken up shouted angrily: "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Where are we going to live if we move out?"

Another person echoed, "Exactly. Isn't this just killing us all?"

"No, I won't move!"

"Let's not move, let's see what he will do!"

"This damn capitalist!"

The poster quickly explained, "Don't worry, it's good news! The buyer is arranging for us to move into an existing, high-end residential complex next door. Existing tenants won't have to pay rent, and those who buy their own homes will get a new apartment for free! Everyone's going from a studio to a spacious three-bedroom apartment, so feel free to move in!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd exploded.

The neighborhood next door is truly high-end. Moving from an old and dilapidated house into a fully furnished apartment, is there such a good thing as pie in the sky?

This acquirer is such a kind person!

The original poster added, "We'll move tonight. There's a bonus for finishing before dawn! Demolition starts here tomorrow."

The residents who were originally indignant suddenly smiled and went home to pack their luggage.

Late at night, the old city was bustling with activity.

Mu Jin stood at the door, looking at the neighbors' cheerful faces, but a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Such generous conditions, aren’t they too good to be true?

Song Yunchen thought something had happened and rushed over. When he heard that they were moving, he couldn't help but feel strange.

It's too strange that the whole building suddenly moved in the middle of the night.

He suspected that it was Su Junyan's doing.

But then he thought again, it seemed unlikely. Was Su Junyan such a boring person? Was he willing to mess up the entire building just to find a new place for Mu Jin?

He didn't think much about it: "Xiao Jin, let me help you move it."

Without waiting for Mu Jin to refuse, Song Yunchen took the initiative to carry her luggage.

Meanwhile, the landlord was hiding in a corner, talking on the phone, his tone flattering: "Mr. Su, you are so generous! On behalf of all the residents of the building, I want to thank you. You are such a kind person!"
