Like the New and Dislike the Old - Chapter 30

It was almost time for dinner when he came out of the train station, and Mu Yi checked into a hotel with his suitcase.

Her hometown is a small county below City C. The closed development is slow. The county seat six years ago and the county seat six years later have not changed a bit.

Putting the box in the hotel, Mu Yi only carried a bag and went out. Not far from the hotel is the high school she attended, and there is a snack street in front of the school.

The weather was dark and gloomy, and she came to the snack street and found that the rice noodle stall owner who was still at the school gate had taken the shop, and the name of the store was very rude and straight-the school gate rice noodle.

She smiled and walked into the rice noodle shop.

At this time, school was not over. She was eating rice noodles while looking at the school gate. The grandfather security guard at the door is older and bald than before. The once gray hair, now half of his head is a shiny skull.

After eating the rice noodles, Mu Yi sighed contentedly. She still remembers that when she was still in high school, she was reluctant to eat rice noodles for five yuan a bowl. Every time I bought rice **** at a small stall at noon, I would approach the rice noodle stall and take a few deep breaths to relieve my greed.

Thinking about this, I had just eaten rice noodles, and now I miss the taste of rice balls.

She looked at the school gate, did not see the stall selling rice balls, and asked the boss, “There used to be a house selling rice **** here, why didn’t you see it today?”

“Oh, you haven’t been back in years?” The boss said while collecting the bowls: “It’s been three years. The boss was too anxious to go out of the stall and was hit by a car and became disabled. He has been lying in bed for several years.”

For a while, Mu Yi didn’t know what to say. She paid for the rice noodles and went out and walked along the familiar street.

Mu Yi returned to the home she had always wanted to escape from, in a very old neighborhood. There is no elevator, no greenery. The houses on the first floor are basically shops, small supermarkets and restaurants. Now is the best time for food business.

She lowered her head slightly and walked all the way through the crowd, into one of the buildings.

When I was going upstairs, I met a fat aunt who came downstairs. Mu Yi walked over, relying on his thinness, sideways.

The aunt watched her walk up, and went downstairs uncertainly. When she met someone, she said, “Lao Mu’s daughter seems to be back.”

“Which old admirer?”

“Which other old admirer?”

“Oh—” the man uttered a long oh, “Didn’t it mean that his daughter never came back after going out to college?”

“I just went downstairs and saw it. The little girl hasn’t seen each other for years. She looks more beautiful.”

“Oh, why did she come back? The old couple didn’t give her a good life back then.”

“you do not say……”

“Boom boom boom.”

Mu Chengcai, who was sitting on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone, heard the knock on the door, and immediately raised Erlang’s legs irritably, and shouted, “Go and open the door!”

Qian Lili, who was cooking in the kitchen, rolled her eyes when she heard this, “You can’t open the door when you are idle?!”

Complaining, she still put down the spatula and wiped her hands on the apron, hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and opened the door.

Mu Yi appeared at the door and looked at her faintly.

“Ouch, scare me…” Qian Lili looked at Mu Yi with surprise and complexity, and shouted inside, “Lao Mu, your daughter is back!”

Qian Lili is Mu Chengcai’s second wife and Mu Yi’s stepmother. Mu Yi’s mother passed away at the age of seven, and within half a year Mu Chengcai took Qian Lili back home.

“Mu Yi is back?” Mu Chengcai walked over in slippers and saw Mu Yi standing at the door. He seemed to want to say something, but he held back, but frowned and said: “I’ll come in when you come back, and why don’t we ask you to do it?”

Mu Yi was silent and glanced down. There were no slippers for her on the shoe rack. So she opened the bag and took out the cheap slippers she had prepared and put on them.

“I won’t come back early or late. I just came back at this time.” Qian Lili complained as she walked to the kitchen, “There are only three people’s rice in the pot, how to eat this?”

Mu Chengcai said in a bad mood: “You can’t die if you don’t eat a meal!”

Mu Yi didn’t speak the whole time. After entering the house, he took out a disposable cup from the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of water. Mu Chengcai sat on the sofa looking at her, and squeezed out an awkward smile, “So come back at this time?”

Mu Yi held the cup in his hand and said coldly, “Didn’t you let me come back?”

“What’s your attitude?” The head of the family got angry, “I haven’t come back after running out for so many years. This is the attitude when I came back? Lao Tzu sent you out to college. This is what you learned? No wonder you messed around outside. As a junior…”

“When did you send me out to college?” The current Mu Yi is no longer the Mu Yi six years ago. “Have you ever paid a penny for the car and tuition and living expenses when I went to college?”

“You shameless thing…” Mu Chengcai was furious, standing up and raising his hand to hit him.

Qian Lili stood at the door of the kitchen and said loudly, “Lao Mu, what are you doing? The child has just returned. What are you doing?”

“Xiao Yi, sit down.” Qian Lili changed her smiling face and pushed Mu Yi to sit. “Your dad also cares about you. Don’t quarrel with him. If you don’t go home in the past few years, your dad is worried. It’s incredible…”

At this time the door opened, and a teenager who was overweight walked in. He was surprised when he saw Mu Yi: “Sister, are you back?”

He kicked off his shoes in a hurry and didn’t wear slippers. He ran towards Mu Yi wearing socks, “Great, you are finally back, did you bring me a gift?”

After finishing the day’s work, Lin Qianshan checked the time, thinking that Mu Yi was about to get off work, so he was going directly to the downstairs of Mu Yi’s house to wait for her. Forgot to ask Juniper to order a bunch of flowers in advance, but the problem is not big, he can buy a bunch of flowers on the way, anyway, there are florists everywhere.

Jun Jun walked in with a pile of documents, “Mr. Zhang asked you to have dinner with you at night, do you need me to reserve a place?”

“No need, push it, I have something to do today.” Lin Qianshan stood up and walked to the window, leaning on his reflection on the glass. While admiring his appearance, he asked: “Is it OK for me to wear this suit? Does it seem too serious?”

Juniper resisted the twitching corners of his mouth and said the truth, “But you don’t have any lively clothes.”

That said, Lin Qianshanxin said it was time to buy some casual and lively clothes.

“Do you have a date?” Du Song couldn’t help asking, “Who is it with?”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Lin Qianshan changed his tie, “You can get off work.”

“Yeah.” Du Songxin said that this was just right, and he could ask Liang You to go to the movies.

Du Song originally thought that Lin Qianshan was going to see Mu Yi. After all, the boss recently seemed to care about Miss Mu. But after seeing Liang You, he learned that Mu Yi was out traveling. So who else can the boss date? Have a new goal so soon?

Liang You sat in the co-pilot in his new clothes and looked at the phone and said, “She’s cool, and she can still travel. I have a headache every day. When can I go out to play?”

“Wait when I have time to take you on a trip, okay?” Juno smiled and said, “Where do you want to go?”

At this time, the car passed by Jiangcheng Dental Hospital, Liang You saw two girls at the entrance of the hospital locking the door while talking.

“Stop parking.” She hurriedly asked Juniper to stop.

Juniper: “What’s wrong?”

“Strange.” Liang You had a strange feeling in his heart, “Didn’t you mean that everyone in the hospital went to the team building together? Why are they both still here?”

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu locked the door of the hospital together, and smiled and talked about going shopping during the holiday. Suddenly a person came over, “Let me ask, didn’t your hospital go to the team building?”

“Huh?” The two turned their heads blankly and saw a young woman. “What are you talking about?”

Liang You: “Your hospital is open today?”

“Of course.” Xiao Zhang thought this person was super strange, “Our hospital is open on weekends.”

“Then… Where’s Dr. Mu? Does she go to work today?”

“Doctor Mu has asked for leave, and is absent from work today.”

“…” Liang You’s mind went blank for a moment, “She asked for leave? Why did she ask for leave?”

“I don’t know.” Xiao Liu shook his head and said, “Do you know Dr. Mu? You can come to our hospital tomorrow. Our boss should know why she asked for leave.”

Lin Qianshan waited downstairs for a long time and did not wait until Mu Yi came back, instead he waited for Juniper and Liang You.

“Boss?” Du Song looked at him in surprise, “Why are you here? Are you waiting for Miss Mu?”

“Can’t it?” Lin Qianshan saw Liang You. He met Liang You, thinking that he was Mu Yi’s friend, so he politely extended his hand, “Hello, I am…”

“I have no time to meet you!” Of course Liang You knew Lin Qianshan. It would be nice if she didn’t scold Lin Qianshan. Passing the two of them, she hurriedly walked into the corridor and pressed the elevator.

Lin Qianshan was a little surprised, Du Song was sweaty, and whispered: “Boss, don’t be angry, she is just too anxious. Miss Mu may have something wrong, she is anxious.”

Mu Yi’s phone turned off, and Liang You smashed the door frantically outside 1206.

Lin Qianshan frowned and watched this scene. When he saw Mu Yi the day before yesterday, she looked normal. Did something happen after a day?

“Mu Yi!” Liang You shouted loudly, “You get out of my mother!”

“Juniper.” Lin Qianshan said: “You should check the surveillance first to see if she has gone out today.”

“Okay.” As soon as Du Song turned around, he saw a familiar person standing not far away.

Flat-headed black-rimmed glasses, aren’t these Miss Suman’s classmates in the United States? Juniper whispered: “Look, boss.”

Lin Qianshan turned around and Zhao said, “I heard a voice upstairs, are you here to see Doctor Mu?”

Liang You turned around abruptly, “Do you know where she is?”

“I may know.” Xin Zhao licked his dry lips. “She came to me yesterday and said something…”
