Chapter 175: 175: Mu Baicheng Confesses
Hearing this, Bai Lu's expression changed.
Driven out?
How can it be!
"Xianxian is not that kind of person." Bai Lu said.
Hearing this, Lu Lingli asked, "Then why did you come back so soon?"
As a mother, she always wanted face, even if she was driven out by the Zhang family, she was too embarrassed to speak out.
Bai Lu glanced at Lu Lingli, and then said, "That's because Xianxian was feeling a little uncomfortable, so I came back early."
uncomfortable?
Even if it is really uncomfortable, you can't just drive the guests out, right?
Bai Lu didn't bother to say anything more to her daughter, because people's prejudices are really terrible. Under the influence of Mrs. Lu, Lu Lingli already had a very bad impression of Zhang Xianxian. Won't trust myself.
So, it is useless to talk more.
Bai Lu continued: "I'll hang up first."
After finishing speaking, Bai Lu hung up the phone directly.
Lu Lingli went to the kitchen to help Lin Guixiang make dumplings.
But Lin Guixiang pushed her into the living room, "Lingli, we and your grandma have already made the dumplings. You don't need your help. You can play in the living room for a while. By the way, the machine on the coffee table is a game console bought by Xiaowu. It is said It's pretty fun to play, you can try it."
"Good Aunt Lin." Lu Lingli nodded.
She was not interested in games at first, but when she heard that Lin Wu bought the game console, she wanted to try it.
After all, Lin Wu doesn't look like a girl playing games.
Even the games she plays must be very good.
Lu Lingli turned on the game console.
The host computer is directly connected to the TV, just press the switch, the TV will display the game screen.
This is a survival game.
You can choose to continue, or you can change gears and start over. Lu Lingli is playing for the first time, so of course she has to choose to start over.
I thought that the games in Survival are all the same.
Unexpectedly, the moment the game started, Lu Lingli was amazed directly. The game screen is very exquisite, and the animals and plants are lifelike. Even though there are no VR glasses, it gives people an immersive feeling.
It was the first time for Lu Lingli to play such a high-end game when she was almost thirty years old.
Moreover, the content of the game is also very real, making people more and more addicted to it, until Lin Guixiang calls for a meal, Lu Lingli is still a little reluctant to part.
Lu Lingli finished her meal in a hurry, sat on the sofa and continued to play games.
Two hours later, she put down the game controller, took a photo and searched for the same game console on Taobao, but she couldn't find any of the same model, nor the name of the game.
This game is a bit strange!
Lu Lingli frowned slightly.
Right at this moment, footsteps came from outside.
Then came Lin Wu's voice.
"Grandma Jin."
"Xiao Wu!" Seeing Lin Wu again, Mrs. Lu hugged her excitedly.
Lu Lingli also threw away her phone and walked to Lin Wu's side, "Xiao Wu, you are back."
"Sister Lu." Lin Wu called out politely.
Lin Wu wore a beige windbreaker today, paired with wide-leg pants and white shoes, she looked rustic and good-looking.
Lu Lingli couldn't help sighing.
Sure enough, she is a natural hanger!
It looks good in anything.
After chatting with Lin Wu for a while, Lu Lingli brought the topic to the game console.
"Xiao Wu, where did you buy this game console? Why can't I find the same model on Taobao?"
Lin Wu said: "This game console is not yet on the market, sister Lu, if you like it, I will give you this one."
The game console was made by Lin Wu when she was bored. She had nothing to say, and she put it in the living room when she was done. When guests come to the house, she can play it if she is bored.
But so far only Lin Guodong has played.
"No, no, no," Lu Lingli waved her hand immediately, she couldn't win people's favor, "I'd better wait until it's on the market before buying."
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Lu proposed to leave.
Lin Guixiang brought two sets of Beauty Yin's latest Xi Shi suits, "Aunt Jin, please bring this."
Seeing the latest Xi Tzu suit, Lu Lingli's eyes lit up.
She has wanted to buy this series for a long time, but she has never bought it.
Didn't expect Lin Guixiang to give it away as soon as he said it.
Old lady Lu smiled and said, "Guixiang, then I won't be polite to you."
"Aunt Jin, you are welcome with me." The words fell, Lin Guixiang continued: "By the way, has Aunt Fang come to Qingshi recently?"
She likes Mrs. Lu and Fang Youling very much.
It's that kind of weird liking.
Especially Fang Youling, every time she sees Fang Youling, or thinks of Fang Youling's face, Lin Guixiang feels inexplicably at ease and kind.
"No." Mrs. Lu shook her head.
Hearing this, although Lin Guixiang was a little disappointed, she didn't ask any further questions.
After the words fell, the old lady Lu said again: "When Xiaowu is admitted to the Capital University, let's go to the capital to meet your Aunt Fang and let her, the host, treat you."
"Sure." Lin Guixiang nodded.
She and Lin Wu sent Old Madam Lu and Lu Lingli downstairs.
26th floor.
Mu Baicheng was admiring the river view of Qingshi with a telescope.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the telescope.
I saw that Lin Guixiang was talking to an old lady downstairs.
Seeing this scene, Mu Baicheng immediately put down the binoculars, and quickly ran towards the door.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
He is going to run into Lin Guixiang in the elevator!
Mu Baicheng stood in the elevator and adjusted his breathing.
Ding!
The elevator door opened.
Mu Baicheng walked out of the elevator in a leisurely manner, and stopped in front of the elevator that Lin Guixiang often took.
The elevator just stopped on the first floor at this moment.
Mu Baicheng looked in the direction of the door, Lin Guixiang should not have come yet, in order to prevent accidents, Mu Baicheng walked into the elevator, pressed the button for the 25th floor, and then walked out of the elevator, and started to run when the elevator door closed When it was time, Mu Baicheng pressed the button again.
When the elevator reached the 24th floor, there were footsteps and Lin Guixiang's voice at the door of the apartment building.
Mu Baicheng heaved a sigh of relief.
It seems that the time card is just right.
When Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu walked to the elevator entrance, they saw Mu Baicheng standing there straight.
Lin Guixiang greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Mu."
Hearing this, Mu Baicheng turned his head to look at Lin Guixiang, as if he had just seen Lin Guixiang, "What a coincidence, Ms. Lin."
"It's a coincidence." Lin Guixiang nodded.
Mu Baicheng's eyes fell on Lin Wu, "Who is this?"
Lin Guixiang then introduced: "This is my daughter Lin Wu."
After finishing speaking, Lin Guixiang continued: "Xiaowu, this is the Uncle Mu whom I told you about in Country P."
Lin Guixiang told Lin Wu about Mu Baicheng.
is just a very simple description.
But Lin Wu was deeply impressed by this Uncle Mu who had never met before, because Lin Guixiang seldom mentioned the opposite **** in front of her.
Mu Baicheng was the first.
Moreover, when Mu Baicheng was mentioned, Lin Guixiang's eyes were full of light.
"Hello, Uncle Mu." Lin Wu greeted Mu Baicheng generously.
Looking at Lin Wu's face, Mu Baicheng suddenly froze for a moment, then scratched his head, "Little girl, have we met somewhere?"
Lin Wu felt too familiar to him.
just like.
I've seen the same somewhere.
This kind of familiarity is very strange. It is not the kind of familiarity that I have seen recently, but the familiarity that I have known for a long time. Even Mu Baicheng can't describe it.
"Probably not." Lin Wu said.
Mu Baicheng continued: "Have you been to country P before?"
Lin Wu shook her head slightly.
"What about the capital?" Mu Baicheng asked immediately.
Lin Wu still shook her head, "Uncle Mu, I have grown up so much, besides my hometown, Qingshi is the farthest place I have been to."
"So, you haven't traveled far?"
"You can say that."
Hearing this, Mu Baicheng's eyes were full of doubts.
Since Lin Wu has never traveled far, there must be something wrong with his feelings.
While talking, the elevator has reached the first floor.
The three entered the elevator.
Mu Baicheng first pressed the 28th floor, and then pressed the 26th floor.
It was only then that Lin Wu knew that Mu Baicheng was the friend who asked Lin Guixiang to take the initiative to deliver the meal.
Although we only met once, Lin Wu has no dislike for Mu Baicheng, and judging from his appearance, he is not the kind of heartbreaker either.
So, if he is also single, Lin Wu is very supportive of Lin Guixiang being with him.
Although Mu Baicheng's marital status is not yet known, based on Lin Wu's understanding of her mother, she would never take the initiative to deliver meals to a man with a wife, let alone be ambiguous with him.
Thinking of this, Lin Wu said with a smile: "Uncle Mu, come to my house for tea when you have time. It just so happens that my mother is on her annual leave recently and she is not very busy."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Guixiang was stunned.
Mu Baicheng was also stunned.
No one expected Lin Wu to say such a sentence.
Ding!
The elevator arrived at the 26th floor at this time.
Mu Baicheng looked at Lin Wu, and said a little excitedly: "Okay, thank you, little girl, you and your mother will also come to my house for tea when you have time."
"Uncle Mu, you can call me Xiaowu."
Mu Bocheng was flattered.
He didn't expect that Lin Guixiang's daughter not only did not object to Lin Guixiang's re-finding, but also became an assist.In today's society, such sensible young people are rare.
He likes this daughter so much.
The elevator doors close again.
Lin Guixiang looked at Lin Wu, "Xiao Wu, you?"
Lin Wu smiled slightly, "Mom, I can tell that Uncle Mu is interested in you. Is he chasing you?"
Lin Guixiang's face turned red instantly.
Although she has given birth to a child, strictly speaking, Lin Guixiang has never been in a relationship, nor has she been pursued by anyone.
This is the first time.
The 28th floor arrived soon, the mother and daughter walked out of the elevator, Lin Wu continued: "Mom, I think Uncle Mu is quite a nice person, as long as you like it, I support you to be with him."
"But this is the first time you have met, how do you know that he is a good character?" Lin Guixiang asked back.
"It feels like it." After entering the house, Lin Wu said while changing her slippers, "Anyway, he doesn't look like the kind of scumbag who cheats money and sex."
Lin Guixiang didn't speak.
Lin Wu changed her slippers, turned to look at Lin Guixiang, "Mom, I hope you are happy, and I also hope that you can talk about your own love, even if this love has no results."
In the past few decades, Lin Guixiang has been living in a muddle.
In the following years, Lin Wu didn't want to see any regrets left in Lin Guixiang's life.
After a long while, Lin Guixiang sighed, and continued: "But Xiaowu, the gap between me and your Uncle Mu is too much, I'm afraid, I'm not good enough for him."
She thought about accepting Mu Baicheng's pursuit.
But she couldn't face the past herself.
Lin Wu was taken aback, "Mom! Do you know what you are talking about?"
Not good enough?
Now Lin Guixiang has a brilliant career, not to mention Mu Baicheng, even if he is a male college, he is worthy of it.
How could Lin Wu have thought that Lin Guixiang would have such scruples in front of Mu Baicheng.
Lin Guixiang looked up at Lin Wu, "You don't know how big the gap is between me and him."
"How big can it be?" Lin Wu continued: "Mom, don't forget, you are the founder of Meirenyin now, do you know how many people outside envy you?"
"Your Uncle Mu is a top student in a prestigious foreign school with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree. He has his own business abroad, and the Mu family is also a well-known family in the capital. What about me? Not only do I not have a decent degree, I have never even entered a school. The family background is also very ordinary."
Educational issues have always been a point of inferiority for Lin Guixiang.
The other one is family background.
Although she has never been in contact with a real rich family, she also knows that rich families pay attention to being well-matched.
Otherwise, Zhang Dalong would not choose Wei Nan, the daughter of the daughter.
Lin Wu walked to Lin Guixiang and sat down, "Mom, although you have never been to school, you are no worse than those who have never been to school. You have mastered four languages, and you are also very good at management. Talent, if you weren't in control of the overall situation, Meirenyin wouldn't be able to develop so fast."
If Lin Guixiang was a person with no business talent, no matter how good the beauty song was, it would not be able to develop into this.
As the words fell, Lin Guixiang continued: "Education is a stepping stone for college students who have just graduated. Without this stepping stone, they would not be able to choose the industry they like. But you are different. You are not the one who is chosen. You You stand above the people who choose them, so education is dispensable for you! When people talk about you, they will not laugh at you for not having a high degree. They will only be surprised that a person without a high degree Even people with high academic qualifications can do such a good job in their careers! Even better than those with high education."
"So, don't feel inferior because of your academic qualifications, you should be full of confidence, because you are really good."
"As for the issue of family background, don't worry about it. With Beauty Yin here, what are you afraid of? Beauty Yin and I are your strongest backing!"
Lin Wu's tone is light, but like the breeze in April in the world, it is dyed with a touch of magic power, which can comfort people's hearts.
Lin Guixiang's eyes lit up because of this sentence, "Xiaowu, I, am I really as good as you say?"
"Of course!" Lin Wu nodded slightly.
Lin Wu continued: "So, Mom, what you want to say now is not to reject love, but to openly welcome your own love and bravely march towards your own spring."
As a daughter, Lin Wu also hopes that there will be one more person who loves her mother in this world.
"Okay." Lin Guixiang nodded, suddenly enlightened.
My daughter is right, she should face herself and love bravely.
Mu Baicheng insisted on sending Lin Guixiang good morning and good night every day, although Lin Guixiang never replied.
Originally planned to send Lin Guixiang goodnight, he would go to bed, but unexpectedly, Lin Guixiang actually replied tonight.
Mu Baicheng rubbed his eyes, thinking he was wrong.
But the next second, the text on the screen still didn't change.
Lin Guixiang really replied to herself!
"Yeah! Yay!" Mu Baicheng jumped up from the sofa, his face was full of excitement, "I got it back! She got it back!"
Lin Guixiang finally replied to herself.
Mu Bocheng was so excited that he kissed the screen of the phone crazily.
At this moment, Lin Guixiang sent another WeChat message.
do you have time tomorrow? I know there is a good western restaurant nearby, let's go and sit down?
Mu Bocheng was already excited, but after seeing this message, he was even more out of control.
What is a good day today?
Lin Guixiang not only replied to his WeChat, but also took the initiative to invite him to dinner.
Mu Baicheng replied with trembling hands: [Okay, what time do you have tomorrow?
Six o'clock in the afternoon?
Mu Baicheng replied immediately: Yes.
After thinking about it, Mu Bocheng then sent another WeChat message, [I heard that the horror movie that was released recently is not bad, why don't you go watch it together after dinner?
good.
Seeing Lin Guixiang's reply, Mu Baicheng wished he could jump up from the sofa.
This trip to Qingshi was really not in vain!
Because of tomorrow's date, Mu Baicheng was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night, and woke up early the next morning, and then started counting the time.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Mu Baicheng came to the restaurant he had made an appointment with Lin Guixiang in a suit.
The environment of the western restaurant is very good.
There is a cellist playing live.
Time passed by one minute and one second, and at 5:40 in the afternoon, Lin Guixiang appeared at the door of the western restaurant.
For today's date, Lin Guixiang specially put on light makeup.
Her appearance instantly colored Mu Baicheng's world, and Mu Baicheng couldn't care less about his image, and waved his hands wildly at her, "Ms. Lin, this way."
Seeing Mu Baicheng, Lin Guixiang immediately walked over here.
It was only 5:40 at this moment, Lin Guixiang thought she came early, but Mu Baicheng was already waiting, "Mr. Mu, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No," Mu Baicheng shook his head, "I just arrived too."
At the end of the sentence, Mu Baicheng continued: "Ms. Lin, sit down quickly."
Lin Guixiang bent down and sat opposite Mu Baicheng, and said with a smile, "We've known each other for so long, you can just call me by my name from now on."
Call the name!
Is Lin Guixiang going to give him a title?
Mu Baicheng almost went crazy with excitement, "Then, my name is Axiang?"
"Yes." Lin Guixiang nodded slightly.
The fundus of the eyes is a little moist.
Since her parents died, she hasn't heard anyone call herself that in many years.
Mu Baicheng continued: "Then you can also call me by my name directly."
"Okay." Lin Guixiang nodded slightly.
No one knew how happy Mu Baicheng was at this moment. He concealed his panic by handing the menu to Lin Guixiang, and then said, "Ah Xiang, let's see what you want to eat. The dishes recommended by the chef today are not bad. .
Lin Guixiang took the menu, "Then let's serve all the dishes recommended by the chef."
"Okay." Mu Baicheng called the waiter, "Just serve us the dishes recommended by the chef."
The waiter asked about taboos.
Mu Baicheng shook his head, "I have no taboos, do you have any, Axiang?"
"Me neither." Lin Guixiang replied.
Mu Baicheng looked at the waiter, "Then serve the food normally."
"Okay, just a moment."
The dishes recommended by the chef are not bad.
Looking at the medium-rare sirloin steak in front of her, Lin Guixiang chuckled softly.
Mu Baicheng was taken aback, "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Guixiang continued: "I remembered how embarrassing I was when I ate steak for the first time. At that time, I thought that the steak was not cooked enough and dared not eat it. Only later did I realize that this is called hemoglobin in Western food."
In the past, Lin Guixiang would not have dared to show her true self in front of Mu Baicheng.
But not now.
Lin Wu is right.
She is who she is, the most authentic her, she doesn't need to change herself into a stranger in order to cater to others.
People who like you will not leave you just because you can't eat steak.
People who hate you don't think you can do everything, so stop hating you.
Hearing this, Mu Baicheng smiled and said: "Actually, I wasn't used to eating medium-rare steaks before. I remember when I first arrived abroad, I often had stomach problems because of this."
At the end of the sentence, he pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "Sorry, isn't it impolite for me to say this while eating?"
Lin Guixiang put down the knife and fork, smiled faintly, "It's okay, but we can really change the subject."
Mu Baicheng nodded, "Well, I think so too."
The two ate and chatted, and had a romantic dinner without knowing it.
After dinner, Mu Baicheng and Lin Guixiang walked to the cinema.
It may be the reason for the annual holiday, the cinema is almost full.
But they are all young couples in their early twenties.
Horror-themed movies are not good-looking, nor are they ugly.
After watching the movie, the two walked out of the movie theater.
The two were walking side by side, but Mu Baicheng's pace slowed down, leaving Lin Guixiang several steps behind.
"Ashanti."
It wasn't until Mu Baicheng called her that Lin Guixiang realized it and looked back at Lin Guixiang.
I saw a bouquet of fiery red roses in Mu Baicheng's hand at some point, kneeling on one knee, "Ms. Lin Guixiang, can you be my girlfriend?"
Good morning everyone~
Ask for a ticket~
