Quite awkward

After dinner, Mu Yanqing insisted on visiting the residential complex where Qi Yu lived. She couldn't refuse and had to compromise.

A million-level luxury car suddenly stopped at the gate of Fenglan Community. Passersby looked at the car with curiosity, as if they wanted to see clearly through the dark car window who was sitting inside.

"Brother, this neighborhood is lively and safe, so you can rest assured." Qi Yu put his hand on the back door, feeling like he was about to open the door and get out of the car at any time.

Mu Yanqing didn't respond, but glanced at her posture lightly. He felt that she was strange for some reason, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

The carriage was silent for a long time.

"Well, take care of yourself and go home."

The next second, Qi Yu got out of the car and smiled sweetly as she passed by the driver's window, feeling relieved.

"Goodbye, big brother. Drive safely."

Mu Yanqing glanced sideways and nodded calmly.

The car turned around and drove away smoothly. He saw Qi Yu's back in the rearview mirror. Without hesitation, he stepped on the accelerator and drove to Muchan's community.

Muchenan had just gotten home from get off work. He poured a glass of whiskey, the brown-orange liquid swaying in the transparent classic glass. He casually hooked his long legs onto a high stool and sat down. The laptop on the island was playing a documentary about cross-border mergers and acquisitions. His parents who were abroad were interested in exploring new territories.

Mu Yanqing didn't say hello in advance. He took the elevator to the 14th floor, entered the password into the entrance hall, walked to the island counter and sat down, first reporting to his fiancée Xu Nianhan, and then the two brothers began to communicate.

"Where did you go today?" Mu Chenan turned off the documentary and looked up to ask.

"Ayu encountered some trouble while filming. I hired a lawyer for her and just sent her home." Mu Yanqing summarized what happened this afternoon in a few words.

Mu Chenan extracted two pieces of information from this passage.

Qi Yu didn't work as a waiter.

Qi Yu went to film a movie.

The two met again after a long time.

He rested his elbows on the table, picked up the wine glass, thought for a moment and asked, "Does Qi Yu know that you are going to have a wedding?"

"I've been busy today and haven't had time to tell her. Besides, she's just a guest at the wedding, so she doesn't need to make any special preparations."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenan lowered his head in thought, and then had a new idea.

"I'll be the best man on the wedding day. Have you chosen your bridesmaids?"

"Nianhan asked her cousin to be the maid of honor."

"Are you friends with her? I need to talk to my bridesmaids in advance."

Mu Chenan smiled casually, and Mu Yanqing couldn't help but suspect that he had bad intentions.

"Don't have any bad intentions. Nianhan's cousin is still in college, and I don't have her contact information."

Mu Chenan didn't hesitate, and smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll go ask my sister-in-law for it."

Mu Yanqing stayed here tonight. After the two of them finished discussing company matters, he started talking about Qi Yu.

"When I saw her today, I felt like she was worried and didn't look particularly happy."

"She's in a transitional period in her life. It's normal for her to be like this now, brother. You don't have to be too sensitive."

In fact, Mu Chenan didn't hit the point. He was just making a perfunctory response, but Mu Yanqing had lived four years longer than him and was not easily fooled.

Mu Yanqing lowered his eyes and analyzed carefully: "It shouldn't be the reason you said. I can feel that Ah Yu has been avoiding me since graduation. Tell me, is this the reason why I want to get married?"

Mu Chenan snorted coldly without answering. He really guessed it right.

Mu Yanqing was troubled by inexplicable sad thoughts.

"Even if I have a family, I will still treat her well. She will always be my sister."

"You and I have both watched Ah Yu grow up. When I'm not free, please help me take care of her. It must be difficult for a girl like her to survive in society."

Mu Chenan didn't have much patience to listen to him talk about Qi Yu.

More than ten years ago, the eldest brother cared about Qi Yu more than he cared about his own brother.

What does it have to do with him whether Qi Yu is living a good life or not?

"Well, okay, I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow is not the weekend, I have to go to work."

At the counter, Mu Yanqing rinsed the cup used by his brother and poured himself half a glass of wine.

Late at night, all the man's worries came to his mind.

Mu Yanqing always felt that Qi Yu should enjoy her life instead of arguing with bad people for a little money. She didn't have to suffer the hardships of life, but she was too proud and refused to accept anything he gave her. It's not good for a girl to be too sensible.

He has always respected Qi Yu's ideas and would not force her to do anything she doesn't want to do, but his original intention was just to make her safe and happy. If he can't even do this, then he is not worthy of being her elder brother.

The person who handled the labor dispute for Qi Yu was a senior lawyer. This kind of wage claim case was easy for him. Qi Yu only needed to provide relevant evidence, clarify her demands, and then wait quietly.

After a while, Qi Yu received the withheld salary, along with an apology letter from the person in charge.

She had clearly only taken back something that belonged to her, but she was extremely happy and jumped for joy on the spot.

If she had suffered this loss in the past, she would not know how to deal with it if she encountered such a situation again in the future. This time she learned the law of the jungle in society: being too weak will only lead to being bullied, so she still has to fight back.

During this period, she has been playing small supporting roles in modern urban dramas. Each part usually takes two or three days to complete. She takes on work intermittently and is able to support herself.

Actresses of the same level will spend a lot of money on plastic surgery or skin care after making money.

But when it comes to Qi Yu, she is young and beautiful, and has naturally good skin, which allows her to save money on medical beauty.

Qi Yu maintains close contact with Xiang Wei in Beicheng. The two often video chat, and the chats are all fragmented information without a single theme, which shows that their friendship is very solid. They are relaxed and natural in front of each other without the need for deliberate disguise.

Xiang Wei has not signed with an agency, nor does she shuttle between various crews like Qi Yu. She has an aunt who is a producer of variety shows. She said she wants to introduce her to participate in a dating variety show, but she is still hesitating.
