Quite awkward

How to describe the feeling at that moment.

I had been holding on to this day with hope, but before I could react, I was sentenced to death.

Those once complicated thoughts disappeared in an instant.

Qi Yu lowered his eyes in disappointment, staring at the pattern on the porcelain plate in a trance.

Mu Chenan tapped the smooth marble table with his fingers.

Try to get her attention.

Didn't work.

He unlocked his phone, dialed Lai Yao's number, and turned on the hands-free mode.

"Hey, Brother Chen."

"Lai Yao, she's here. Tell me about the situation over there."

Qi Yu heard a hoarse male voice with a slight accent from the southeast coastal areas. She raised her eyes slightly and found that Mu Chenan was talking on the phone with someone.

"Oh, sister, listen to me." Lai Yao shouted on the phone.

Although Qi Yu didn't know who the other party was, he should be Mu Chenan's connection.

She stood up, walked around in three or two steps, came to Mu Chenan, bent down slightly, and responded.

"Hello, I'm here."

Lai Yao nodded and began to tell the result.

"The man named Jiang Yuhuai has been taken away by the domestic police. My men saw it with their own eyes. Don't worry, he will definitely be punished."

Lai Yao had no idea who Mu Chenan's sister was. He only knew that this little sister had been badly deceived by Jiang Yuhuai. He had always been a bold and rough man, but now he could actually comfort a little girl in a soft voice. If his brothers in the gang knew about this, they would definitely be scared.

"Where's the money? My money." This is what Qi Yu cares about most.

She hoped that Mu Chenan was just playing a trick on her and that she could get her money back.

"Sister, I don't think you can get your money back. Jiang Yuhuai lost one or two million in the casino, and he was beaten up by the locals. I guess he has no money left. The police there should contact you soon. You can ask them then."

Lai Yao could do nothing about it, his mission was accomplished.

Jiang Yuhuai gambles?

And lost it all?

That's her money.

Qi Yu's breathing was short and heavy.

The two of them were very close, and the woman's warm and light breath sprayed on Mu Chenan's cheek, but he turned his face away.

She remained bent over, her head felt dizzy, her heart sank, and she almost couldn't stand.

Mu Chenan raised his hand in time, supported her arm, and casually hooked a chair with his foot so that she could sit down safely.

He said calmly: "If it's efficient, Jiang Yuhuai will return to China tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The police will contact you soon. I have arranged a lawyer for you, and he will help you handle the matter later."

He helped her arrange the follow-up matters in a thoughtful manner, his tone steady and calm.

There was a dead look in Qi Yu's eyes. She relied on her willpower to hold back her tears, but she still felt extremely uncomfortable.

I regret that I don’t know people well enough and am not on guard against them.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuhuai will be severely punished, but her money will never be returned.

The last shred of fantasy was shattered.

She hit rock bottom overnight and became completely penniless.

If Mu Chenan hadn't wanted to talk to Qi Yu about the situation, he might have taken a shower and gone to bed directly after returning home, and would not have gone downstairs to wait for her to wake up.

Looking at the pitiful woman with red eyes, he had no intention of comforting her. He just felt that she was very unlucky.

This was the first time he showed any sympathy.

After Mu Chenan went upstairs, Qi Yu sat alone in the restaurant for a long time. Her head felt heavy, as if there was a huge rock on her head, smashing her into the ground bit by bit.

When she was alone, she broke down and cried, letting all the tears of sadness dry up. The dining table was covered with tissues that she had used to wipe her tears and snot.

In just a few days, her savings exceeded one million, but she quickly fell into poverty.

She raised her eyes and saw the luxurious and gorgeous decoration in front of her. She rubbed her red eyes gently, slowly came to her senses, and realized where she was.

This is Mu Chenan's home. She is just staying here temporarily and does not belong here.

No matter how sad she was, she had to face reality.

She couldn't get her money back, but she had to go on with her life.

Qi Yu struggled to stand up by holding onto the edge of the dining table, cleaned up the garbage on the table, and went back to her room to get her phone to check her plane tickets.

The Spring Festival is coming to an end, and it is the time when air ticket prices are the highest. Qi Yu does not have enough money to pay for an expensive ticket now.

So she decided to take a hard seat on the train and prepare some food for the journey. As long as she could endure more than ten hours, she would arrive in Beicheng safely. Xiang Wei's home was her only home.

She quickly grabbed a train ticket from Linjiang to Beicheng at 5 pm that day.

Don't stay too long, just go.

Qi Yu is self-aware.

Even if Muchenan helped her this time, with his usual arrogance and indifference, it didn't mean that he could accept her existence.

Now that the matter is over, she should leave here as soon as possible and not disturb anyone.

When she first came here, she didn't bring much luggage.

Now that she was going back, she filled a whole suitcase and couldn't help but think that spending the night in the train compartment for more than ten hours would be very difficult.

The last time she remembered riding a regular train was when her father took her back to her hometown when she was five years old.

The train was shaking and moving very slowly. She looked out the window at the low hills and woods receding into the distance and found everything so novel.

People always have to grow up. Qi Yuyuan is not that fragile. She must cheer up and face the future life.
