The time of the city

At this time, Mo Yu heard a waiter talking to Ni Jiamu, "Mr. Ni, please come into the restaurant for dinner. You are a friend of our boss, so you don't have to queue."

Mo Yu quickly walked to the waiter and Ni Jiamu and said, "Brother, you also know the owner of this restaurant." Ni Jiamu shook his head, obviously confused.

The two were brought into a small private room in the restaurant by the waiter. Mo Yu looked around and found that there was only one private room in the restaurant. Almost everyone ate in the hall, and this private room was obviously where the boss himself ate.

"Mr. Ni, here is the menu. Just order whatever you want using WeChat. Our boss will treat you." After saying that, the waiter retreated and closed the door.

Instantly, the noisy sounds in the hall disappeared completely, demonstrating the excellent soundproofing here. Ni Jiamu frowned slightly, holding the menu in his hand as if thinking about something.

"Brother, have you even forgotten who your friends are? They let us not queue up and directly arranged a private room for us and even treated us to a meal. It's obvious that you have a good relationship. I didn't expect you to forget them. If it were me, I wouldn't treat you to a meal." Mo Yu kept talking while swiping her phone.

The door was opened again. Ni Jiamu and Mo Yu thought it was a waiter, so they didn't look back.

"Jia Mu" A gentle and crisp voice came from behind, and Mo Yu knew it was Leng Xiyan.

Then Leng Xiyan sat next to Ni Jiamu and said, "Jiamu, this is my newly opened Sichuan restaurant. If you want to eat, just let me know. You don't have to queue." Leng Xiyan was wearing a low-cut skirt, and Ni Jiamu could see the whiteness of her chest as soon as he looked up.

"Xiaoyu and I have something to do, so we'll leave first. Thank you for your kindness." Ni Jiamu always kept a stern face in front of Leng Xiyan. Under his expressionless face, there was alienation and coldness.

"Jiamu, have dinner before you leave. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Leng Xiyan wanted to step forward and grab Ni Jiamu's hand, but Ni Jiamu dodged her. He glared at her with a look of disgust in his eyes.

Mo Yu didn't dare to say anything, holding the menu and thinking about which dish on it was the most delicious, but she couldn't help but take a few glances.

"Leng Xiyan, how many times do you want me to tell you to stay away from me and stop sending people to follow me?" Mo Yu's eyes widened after hearing what Ni Jiamu said. She finally understood why Ni Jiamu hated Leng Xiyan so much. She hated him too.

Mo Yu rolled her eyes at Leng Xiyan and continued looking at the menu. Leng Xiyan knew that Ni Jiamu had discovered her and wanted to say something, but her lips trembled uncontrollably and her throat seemed to be blocked by something. She couldn't make a sound for a long time, and in the end, only two lines of tears flowed down.

"Xiaoyu, let's go." Ni Jiamu grabbed Mo Yu who was sitting next to him and was about to walk out.

"Jiamu, I like you too much." Leng Xiyan yelled at Ni Jiamu's back, her voice trembling.

Ni Jiamu didn't react at all. He pulled Mo Yu out of the restaurant. When they reached the door, he found that Mo Yu was still holding the menu. "Why did you take this out? Throw it away." He then took the menu from Mo Yu's hand and threw it directly at the restaurant door.

"Brother, we waited in line for half an hour and didn't get anything to eat. What a pity!" Mo Yu said dissatisfiedly.

"We had such a fight with them, how can we still have the nerve to eat there?" Ni Jiamu looked at Mo Yu, who was a head shorter than him, with a smile in his eyes.

"That's because you were arguing with someone, but I can still stay for dinner."

"You...Mo Yu, you have to stand on the same line with me, understand?"

After dinner, the two returned home. "Amu has a delivery for you. I signed for it and put it in your room." Shang Xue was watching TV in the living room, feeling very comfortable.

Mo Yu saw the missed call from Gu Bai on her phone and was so happy that she even forgot to change her shoes. She ran upstairs to her room with her phone in her arms.

The phone rang a few times and Gu Bai answered it.

"Gu Bai, I was outside and didn't hear you. Why did you call me?" The girl's gentle voice was filled with joy. "Auntie, are you feeling better?"

"Ask your brother to let me go." Gu Bai's voice was hoarse, with a pleading tone in it.

"I...Gu Bai, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with my brother?" The smile on Mo Yu's face faded and her expression became serious.

"My mom's shop was reported. Someone got food poisoning after eating her cooking. Now the relevant personnel are here to investigate. My shop has been closed for the time being."

Mo Yu couldn't believe that so many things had happened to Gu Bai in just a few days, but at the same time, she was curious about what these things had to do with Ni Jiamu.

"Your mother is in the hospital, how are you going to feed others? What does this have to do with my brother?"

"Moyu, this must have been done by your brother." Gu Bai raised his voice, making Moyu's ears hurt. "He said he wouldn't let me go. You heard it too. My mom hasn't opened the shop in a few days. That guy came to my house for dinner a few days ago, and they're only reporting it now. And why is my illegal construction suddenly being reported? It must have been your brother. Please ask your brother to let me go."

"My brother would never do such a thing, Gu Bai, you're overthinking it."

"Mo Yu, your brother has always been against you and me being together. It must be him." Gu Bai's voice grew louder and louder. Even through the screen, Mo Yu could imagine Gu Bai's blushing face, but that was not the Gu Bai Mo Yu remembered. In his impression, Gu Bai was gentle, gentlemanly, and his every move exuded the air of a scholar.

"Gu Bai, I know you're sad about what happened, but you have to calm down. I'll ask my brother."

"Mo Yu, if these things happened to you, would you be able to stay calm? My mother is sick, and I still owe the hospital several thousand in medical bills. Now that she has just gotten better, something happened to the restaurant again, and she is angry and her condition has worsened. That restaurant is all my mother's hard work." Gu Bai's voice gradually weakened, and there was even a hint of tears in his voice at the end.

He poured out all his recent worries, and Mo Yu could only keep comforting him on the phone. After hanging up, Mo Yu transferred all her 5,000 yuan pocket money to Gu Bai, who thanked her and accepted it.

Mo Yu paced back and forth in the room thinking about Gu Bai's words. She felt that Gu Bai would not lie to her, and she also felt that Ni Jiamu would not do such a thing. After thinking it over, she decided to go and ask clearly.

Mo Yu came to Ni Jiamu's door and knocked gently, but the door opened by itself. It turned out that Ni Jiamu had not locked the door. The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Ni Jiamu was taking a shower. Mo Yu took a look and saw Ni Jiamu's blurry figure reflected on the glass door of the bathroom.

Mo Yu felt a surge of heat, her face instantly flushed. She decided to leave, so she headed for the door. She saw her own photo on the desk. She approached, revealing a collection of documents. Her passport was on top, and underneath were some information about foreign universities.

Ni Jiamu really wanted her to go abroad, and all kinds of thoughts about Gu Bai's family flashed through Mo Yu's mind quickly.

The sound of running water stopped at some point, but Mo Yu didn't notice, her mind solely on the ID card on the desk.

"Why... did you come to my room?" Ni Jiamu was shirtless with a white bath towel wrapped around his lower body.

Mo Yu screamed and quickly covered her eyes, "Hurry up and put on your clothes."

Ni Jiamu took his clothes to the bathroom and came out a few moments later, fully dressed. "I'm dressed now, you can take your hands off. What do you want from me?"

"I...what's up with these things on your desk? Are you really going to take me abroad?" Mo Yu's face was still red as she pointed at the documents on the desk and looked directly at Ni Jiamu.

"What else?" Ni Jiamu's hair was still dripping with water, which flowed down his face to his forehead, across his nose, and finally onto his collarbone, adding a touch of sexiness to his already impeccable features.

His eyes were filled with mist and he stared at Mo Yu with a sharp gaze. She looked over and found that there was a hint of teasing in his gaze.

"So you reported them for illegal construction and framed his mother's restaurant?" Mo Yu's eyes were filled with resentment and suspicion.

"What did you say? What do you mean I'm going to report Gu Bai?"

"You said before that there are plenty of ways to make me go abroad with you. Are you just teasing Gu Bai and making me go abroad with you?"

"Am I so shameless in your heart? Do I have nothing to do?" Ni Jiamu's bright eyes dimmed in an instant, becoming indifferent and cold, with an icy chill. Mo Yu was frightened by Ni Jiamu in front of him, but the words he said were like spilled water, and he could not admit defeat.

"Gu Baidu is sure it must be you, and only you would do this." Her face flushed red, but she still pretended to be calm.

"Gu Bai, Gu Bai, whatever Gu Bai says is what it is? So you believe Gu Bai and not your brother? You are really a love-brained person." Ni Jiamu slapped the desk with his hand, and the place where he slapped happened to be the photo of Mo Yu on the paper.

Mo Yu couldn't help but think that if this slap hit her face, her head would be knocked off.

"Anyway, I won't go abroad with you"

"I'm the one who did what happened to Gu Bai. If you don't go abroad with me immediately, I'll make his life even worse." Ni Jiamu's voice was very hoarse, and his eyes seemed to be burning at her as if on fire.

"So it was you." A flash of disappointment flashed across Mo Yu's eyes, then vanished in an instant. She ran back to her room, grabbed her phone, and tremblingly sent a message to Gu Bai, "I'm sorry, Gu Bai. My brother did it. He asked me to go abroad with him, but I disagreed. I didn't expect him to do this to you. I'm sorry."

The moment the message was sent, Gu Bai called. "Mo Yu, I told you that it was your brother who ruined my family. I was just dating you, but did I provoke him? What do you have to do to make him let me go?"

In the past, he always called her Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, but today he called her Moyu, which made Moyu feel uncomfortable.

“He asked me to go abroad with him.”

"If you go abroad with him, will he let me and my mother go?" Gu Bai paused. Just when Mo Yu thought Gu Bai was telling him not to go abroad, "Actually, going abroad is not bad. You and your brother can still be together. It's a good thing that you have the ability to go abroad. I can't even go out if I want to."

"I... I'm going abroad. Gu Bai, let's break up. I'll ask my brother to compensate you. You don't have to pay back the five thousand yuan I gave you. Hang up, Gu Bai." Mo Yu sat in front of the window, staring out the window, tears flowing silently.

She seemed to feel that she had never understood Gu Bai.
