Su Yunxi bought two servings of food, but since Lu Zhiyang was there, she was too embarrassed to ask him if he wanted to eat.

Fortunately, Lu Zhiyang was quite perceptive and said that he had a game in the evening and left first.

Ye Wanrou showed Su Yunxi the check, beaming. "I was originally quite annoyed by being bitten, and Mu Shiyu wasn't punished, but now that I see the amount of the check, I'll reluctantly forgive her!"

She was not short of money originally, but her old father blocked her credit card and did not pay her the salary for the performance, so she was in a very tight financial situation.

This time it’s a blessing in disguise!

Su Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are quite open-minded, you are different from before!"

Ye Wanrou took two sips of soup and said, "After experiencing life without money, I understand the importance of money!"

Su Yunxi asked, "I see you and Lu Zhiyang are having a very happy chat. What are you talking about so happily?"

Ye Wanrou chuckled, "I found that he broke my stereotype of lawyers. He is humorous and handsome."

Su Yunxi was in a complicated mood, "Have you taken a fancy to Lawyer Lu?"

They both have the surname Lu, and based on the lessons learned from their previous lives, Lu Jinwen is not a good person and is not a good match.

As for Lu Zhiyang, a smart and capable lawyer, he sounds very impressive, but it is hard to say what his family background and character are like.

Ye Wanrou smiled and said, "I'm not as fickle as you think. I like every girl I meet."

Su Yunxi said seriously, "It's hard to say, you are just obsessed with looks. When you see a handsome man, you can't resist him at all."

What's more, Lu Zhiyang is an eloquent and shrewd lawyer. If he really wants to fool a girl, it would be easy.

Ye Wanrou picked at the food in her bowl. "No, my focus right now is work. I won't indulge in love."

Su Yunxi reluctantly believed, "It's better."

After dinner, Su Yunxi stayed with her for half an hour before going home.

Seeing Lei Ming and Mu Shiyan in the neighborhood, she stopped and rolled down the car window. "How rare!"

Mu Shiyan looked at her, "What?"

Su Yunxi thought about it and asked Lei Ming to help her drive the car back, and she accompanied Mu Shiyan for a walk.

"I heard about Mu Shiyu's matter from Lu Zhiyang. I warned you before, but you didn't take it seriously," said Mu Shiyan.

"Who knew she would use such a sinister trick, and I don't know where she learned it from," Su Yunxi laughed.

"If she wants to deal with me or Xiaorou, she will always find an opportunity. No matter how hard we try to guard against her, we can't."

Mu Shiyan pinched his fingers, his fingertips slightly warmed from rubbing them, his face expressionless, "You're always making excuses."

Su Yunxi smiled and tried to chat, "What did you eat tonight?"

She had been having dinner with Ye Wanrou in the hospital these past two days, not with him.

Mu Shiyan didn't want to pay attention to her, "Are you concerned? Go ask Aunt Qiong."

His expression was calm and there was no trace of resentment in his expression, but Su Yunxi sensed some displeasure in his tone.

Su Yunxi looked at him quietly, trying to see through his face to see his hidden emotions. "Are you unhappy that I'm not having dinner with you?"

Mu Shiyan denied it, "I'm not that naive."

Su Yunxi couldn't help laughing. "Whether someone is childish or not is not up to you to decide. It's the feelings of the people around you. Sometimes the person involved is not even aware of it."

Love can make people childish and petty.

They want to calculate who likes whom more clearly and don't want to admit defeat.

There is a lake ahead, with black and white swans swimming leisurely, and green trees on the shore, their reflections on the water surface, creating a beautiful contrast.

No one spoke, it was quiet.

Su Yunxi followed behind Mu Shiyan, her eyes falling on the man's fluffy and soft hair.

Mu Shiyan could clearly feel Su Yunxi's gaze without looking back. She was always behind him.

A few minutes later, a figure jumped out from the bushes and rushed towards Su Yunxi.

Su Yunxi was hit and staggered, and the figure pushed her, causing her to fall backwards into the lake.

The cool lake water instantly surrounded her from all directions. She couldn't swim, so she flapped her wings instinctively.

Mu Shiyan heard the sound of someone falling into the water and moved so quickly that he almost fell to the ground.

There was someone by the lake, grabbing Su Yunxi's collar and pressing her head with one hand, and when she floated up, he pressed it down hard again.

"Stop!" Mu Shiyan's voice was cold and stern.

The man turned around and bared his teeth at Mu Shiyan, provocatively and viciously, "Mr. Mu, why don't you come and save your wife? Do you want to watch her drown with your own eyes?"

He was wearing a baseball cap and tilted his head, revealing only the part from the middle of his right nose downwards, making it difficult to see his specific appearance.

Su Yunxi choked on the water several times and grabbed the man's arm, leaving several bloody marks on the man's arm.

Mu Shiyan's face was gloomy, his hands tightly grasping the armrests of the wheelchair, veins popping out on the back of his hands. He had never felt so deeply the helplessness of having his legs crippled.

"Let her go, I told you to let her go!" Mu Shiyan shouted in an icy voice, but he couldn't stand up, he couldn't get through.

It was clearly only less than two meters away, but he just couldn't get through and could only watch Su Yunxi being bullied.

Mu Shiyan's eyes were red as blood, and he was filled with murderous intent.

The man was fearless, and kept speaking provocatively, "Mr. Mu, don't you want to save your wife? Why don't you save her? Why don't you save her?"

He scoffed arrogantly, "Oh, you can't save her, you are a waste now."

After three seconds of dead silence, the man was knocked down and instantly let go of Su Yunxi.

Su Yunxi was able to catch her breath, breathing deeply. She pushed aside the messy wet hair from her face and saw clearly that it was Mu Shiyan who had knocked the man down.

But the man quickly pushed Mu Shiyan away, and Mu Shiyan fell to the ground in a mess. The man grabbed his collar and punched him in the face again and again, hard and heavy, as if filled with deep hatred.

"Don't hit him, don't hit him!" Su Yunxi struggled to climb ashore, and after climbing up, she pulled the man hard.

The man threw Su Yunxi away, and Su Yunxi fell to the ground. He sneered, "Miss Su, you should be able to see clearly what kind of man you married! He is a waste!"

"You bully him, what's your ability!" Su Yunxi was angry and fierce. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she rushed forward and pushed the man away.

She hurried to check on Mu Shiyan's condition, "Are you okay?"

"No, nothing's wrong," Mu Shiyan said gloomily, looking embarrassed and awkward. He asked with difficulty, "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Su Yunxi's face was filled with tears or lake water, and she suddenly hugged Mu Shiyan tightly.

Mu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his hand, hugged her, and patted her lightly twice.

He had never been hugged by Su Yunxi before, especially when she was in such strong and full emotions.

The man stared at the two men with his dark eyes. Before he could move forward again, Lei Ming appeared and grabbed him in two or three moves.

But the man was very cunning. When Lei Ming was checking on Mu Shiyan's condition, he took the opportunity to escape.

The three returned to the villa, and Lei Ming instructed people to check the community surveillance and make sure to find the attacker.

Su Yunxi went to the bathroom in the second bedroom to wash up, while Lei Ming cleaned and treated the wound on Mu Shiyan's face in the master bedroom.

Mu Shiyan remained silent throughout the whole process, but one could tell from his expression how bad his mood was.

"I know you have a strong sense of self-esteem, but don't let others trick you into thinking too much. It will do you no good," Lei Ming said in a rare attempt to comfort others.

Mu Shiyan's mind was filled with what had just happened by the lake. He clutched his knees tightly and said, "It's true. I'm a loser now."
