When Lin Xi went in with the gift, Mother You was making dumplings, and the dumplings on the table were already half wrapped.
The huge living room was empty, and the floor tiles were as clean as ever, as if they had just been waxed.
Mother You raised her head, and when she saw Chu Muqing and the little guy, she immediately put down the dumpling wrappers in her hands, stood up and said happily, "Mu Qing, Cheng Cheng, you're here."
Lin Xi stood beside Chu Muqing, and when Mother You's eyes fell on Lin Xi's face, she was slightly surprised: "Xiao Lin?"
Lin Xi smiled embarrassingly, and called out to Mama You, "Auntie."
It was only at this moment that Mother You realized that the young man who had just visited the house last time was actually the one who married her niece.
She didn't even tell them about Chu Muqing's marriage before. She always thought that the child was focusing on work now, but it wasn't until Chu Muqing called and said that she would bring her lover with her. know that she is married.
Lin Xi walked into the living room, and put the large and small boxes of presents by the wall. Mother You awkwardly called You En to pour tea for them.
The little guy's back was patted lightly by Chu Muqing, and she immediately obediently stepped forward to call for someone.
She first sweetly called "Aunt and Grandma" to Mother You, then looked at You En, hesitated and called out "Uncle" in a low voice.
You En kept his head down all the time, and the peaked cap covered most of his face.
The little guy looked at him eagerly after shouting, until Mother You reminded: "You En, Cheng Cheng is calling you."
Only then did Eun look at the little guy, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."
Mother You immediately asked them to sit down, and You En also went to make tea for them, and poured out a cup of warm water for the little guy.
After everyone sat down, Lin Xi watched as Mama You rolled up her sleeves and continued making dumplings.
"I know you're coming, let's make dumplings as a family." Mother You said beamingly.
Chu Muqing looked up at her: "Are you feeling better?"
Mother You smiled nonchalantly: "I was bored in the hospital for a few days, and it will get better if it is not good. The main reason is that I am getting older and my body can't keep up."
Just as Chu Muqing was about to say a few words, Lin Xi had already rolled up his sleeves.
She looked at Mama You with a smile, and asked, "Auntie, where is your bathroom?"
Mother You immediately told You En who was sitting beside him silently: "Quickly, take Xiao Lin."
You En was called, and he looked a little embarrassed, so he stood up, turned around and walked forward.
Lin Xi also stood up and followed him.
She never expected that the genius boy who chose to commit suicide in the original text was actually Chu Muqing's cousin.
Such a coincidence made her completely unexpected, and she had been looking for You En for a long time during this period, but she had never received any news from this person. Unexpectedly, You En appeared so unexpectedly.
But after thinking about it carefully, she can understand that there will always be various coincidences in the world in the book, and all the characters that appear in it will also be related to the heroine Chu Muqing.
But...to her surprise, the original setting was that Feng Zijin relied on You En's talent, but in the end he chose to support the person who owned You En's original achievements, seeking huge benefits for the Feng family.
In the end, You En chose to commit suicide. It can also be said that he was indirectly killed by these people, and Feng Zijin couldn't escape the responsibility at all.
You En sent Lin Xi to the bathroom door, turned around and left without saying a word, got up and went upstairs directly.
In the living room, when Mama You was making dumplings, the little guy was watching quietly.
The little guy pointed at the wrapped dumplings, blinked his pretty almond eyes, and then said to Mama You: "Grandma, the dumplings look like boats."
Mother You looked at her tenderly, and said in a warm voice, "Does Cheng Cheng like dumplings?"
The little guy nodded immediately and said, "I like it. Mother Lin made dumplings last time, and Chengcheng likes them too!"
The heating was turned on in the living room, and Mother You was only wearing home clothes and an apron. She signaled Chu Muqing to take off her coat, and Chu Muqing hung the coat on the shelf.
The little guy also unbuttoned his clothes and asked Chu Muqing to help her hang them up.
Mother You smiled and went to see Chu Muqing: "Can Xiao Lin know how to cook?"
Chu Muqing pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Yes."
Mother You realized that when Xiao Lin came to our house last time, she thought he was a very nice young man.
At this time Lin Xi came back, she just made a special trip to wash her hands, she sat down beside Mother You resolutely, then took the initiative to pick up the dumpling wrapper, said with a smile: "Let me help you, it will be faster."
When Mother You heard what she said, she became more and more satisfied with her for a while. At first, she and Mother Chu were still worried. With Chu Muqing's personality, she didn't know when she would find the person she liked. Only the most qualified people are suitable for Chu Muqing.
From the looks of it now, Lin Xi was pretty good.
Lin Xi's gaze was very focused, and she quietly wrapped the dumplings, one by one, with astonishing efficiency.
Mother You asked how she met Chu Muqing, her job, etc. Lin Xi also answered them one by one. At the same time, her hands kept moving, and within 15 minutes, the dumplings were wrapped.
Mama You acted as if she didn't know anything about her marriage with Chu Muqing. Obviously, Mama You didn't see the news on the Internet.
Mama You was about to get up to cook dumplings, but Lin Xi hurriedly stopped her, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen.
When she was busy in the kitchen, Mother You's eyes fell on Chu Muqing's face.
"You haven't come to my place for a long time."
Mother You's tone was a bit sad, Chu Muqing smiled and said, "It's because I've been busy with work recently, so I'll come to see you often in the future."
Mother You smiled and said: "You and Xiao Linduo brought oranges, and You En and I are the only ones in the house, so it will be more lively when you come."
Chu Muqing immediately agreed.
Eun's father left early, and it was You's mother who single-handedly raised Eun. Now that he is old, when he should be enjoying the blessings, Eun failed at work and his life became a little tight.
Chu Muqing originally wanted to transfer money to them, but even if she said that she would lend it to them for a short period of time, and return it to You En when he got a job again, the other party still refused.
"Are you still planning to go back to the Chu family?"
Hearing Mama You suddenly asked her, Chu Muqing paused for a moment, and replied, "It's been a long time since I've contacted you."
"That's good." Mother You was silent for a while, then turned her head to look at Chu Muqing, and said softly: "If your mother hadn't found you later, I'm afraid you are still the second lady of the Chu family. Although the Chu family is not good, But at least I don’t have to carry everything alone.”
Chu Muqing smiled, and only said: "En."
But in fact, ever since her grandfather passed away, she never felt that being the second miss of the Chu family was any good.
Before, I was wondering why after she was taken back to the Chu family, everyone except her grandfather and sister treated her like an outsider.
Especially her "mother" in name, why she and Chu Muqing are both her daughters, but she only treats Chu Jinglan as her own.
Only later did she know that this was indeed the case, only Chu Jinglan was born to that person.
Mother You laughed again and said, "Fortunately, it's getting better now, you're married, and from now on, you and I will face each other together."
Chu Muqing turned her head and glanced in the direction of the kitchen. The door of the kitchen was half open. Lin Xi had already finished washing the pot and was collecting water from the faucet.
The range hood in the kitchen was turned on, and the sound inside was a bit loud.
The other party seemed to be aware of it, and at the same time turned around, looked at her, and found that she was looking at her, and immediately parted the corners of his lips and smiled at her.
Chu Muqing looked at her from a distance, and also smiled back.
Lin Xi just looked at her, didn't even realize that there was too much water in the pot, so she belatedly said "Yeah", and immediately turned off the tap in a hurry.
Seeing her flustered look, Chu Muqing and You's mother couldn't help being amused by her.
Lin Xi was busy in the kitchen, and quickly cooked the dumplings. She made some dipping sauces with the ingredients in the kitchen. Knowing that You En has a cleanliness habit, after serving the dumplings and dipping sauces on the table, she He cleaned up the kitchen carefully and restored everything in the kitchen to its original state.
There are delicious dumplings on the dining table in the living room, and Mother You specially went to get out the wine.
Except that You En didn't make much noise after taking his seat, the whole family was eating lively.
You En was in poor health and could not drink, Chu Muqing didn't drink much, she only poured a small glass and kept it there, Lin Xi naturally had to give face to his elders, so he drank a lot.
As soon as Mother You persuaded her, she felt helpless because she didn't want to save the face of her elders.
After a meal, she felt a little dizzy. Fortunately, Chu Muqing didn't plan to leave immediately. She listened to the conversation between Chu Muqing and Mother You, as if she was asking whether she should stay or leave tomorrow. , there are rooms anyway.
She didn't know if Chu Muqing agreed, half drunk and half awake she said she would go to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Mama You just laughed, and then she followed Mama You to clean up the mess on the table.
You En looked at her from the side, put the tea on the table in front of her, without saying a word, Lin Xi understood that he was telling her to drink sober up.
Lin Xi drank tea, looked at You En for a while, and suddenly said to him: "Don't worry, you will definitely not die this time."
Hearing her words, You En's eyebrows jumped, and he didn't know what she meant.
"...Huh?" Even though he was very repulsed to get in close contact with people, when he thought that this person was married to his cousin Chu Muqing, he felt that he should get closer, so he moved closer to Lin Xi and asked her, "What's the matter? "
Lin Xi leaned back on his shoulders, leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and said, "Geniuses can't die."
She was so drunk that she seemed to have lost consciousness, You En frowned, thinking about the various meanings in her words.
The other party mentioned "this time", if it was because she learned about her illness and her mental state from her cousin, she would not say "this time" when she was drunk.
Something came to mind for a moment, even if it felt unbelievable, I couldn't help but re-examine the woman in front of me, it didn't seem like some drunken talk.
Does she know something?
Lin Xi was so drunk that she felt her temples swell and ache, until someone beside her supported her arm, allowing her to use her strength to stand up.
The opponent's body was very soft, she opened it slightly, and saw Chu Muqing who was close at hand.
Chu Muqing helped her up the stairs, during which time Lin Xi stepped on the steps, and stepped on the steps several times but missed, Chu Muqing managed to help her to the bed in the room.
Chu Muqing straightened up and looked at her helplessly: "You can choose not to drink."
Lin Xi squinted at her and smiled: "It's nothing to do. It's the first time I meet my aunt, I still need to drink, and I'm drunk... not very drunk."
Chu Muqing felt quite helpless, still not drunk like this?It's hard to speak.
Chu Muqing looked at her, Lin Xi's entire face was flushed, this man was drunk, he was about to turn around and go downstairs to bring her some more water.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, his wrist was grabbed by that man.
Chu Muqing turned around and looked at her. Lin Xi's eyes seemed to become clear in an instant, but she was not fully awake. She looked at her with burning eyes and said, "I think it's good to eat as a family. It's lively. I feel It’s very close, it looks like a family.”
"Okay." Knowing that she was drunk, Chu Muqing patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and said, "We will come here often after that."
Lin Xi laughed: "Okay."
As she spoke, she let go of Chu Muqing's wrist. Chu Muqing looked at her and couldn't help being a little curious: "Did you seldom get together when you were at home?"
Lin Xi smiled wryly, closed his eyes, and spoke indistinctly: "I used to...have no family, where did I get...family?"
Chu Muqing only thought that she was talking drunkenly, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems reasonable for a family like the Lin family to have weak family ties.
It's just that Lin's mother cared for Lin Xi very much. Even her stepfather, Chairman Lin Zhourong, would take the initiative to help Chu Zhi find a school to go to, and even take the initiative to help her solve the problem of Chu's shares.
Such a family shouldn't let Lin Xi say such things?
Chu Muqing brought warm water up from downstairs, Lin Xi was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.
She slept for an hour and a half. After waking up, she was fully awake. Looking at Chu Muqing who was sitting on the side and reading messages on her mobile phone, she looked over from a distance and could only see a gentle and slim figure.
Chu Muqing heard the rustling movement behind her, turned around, saw that she was awake, and was about to say something.
Lin Xi got up from the bed in a panic, and said helplessly: "It's over, it's over, now You En will definitely blame me."
After hearing her words, Chu Muqing paused, then raised her eyes to look at her, puzzled and said, "What?"
Lin Xi became more and more flustered: "He loves cleaning so much, he must blame me for sleeping in his guest room."
"How can it be so serious?" Chu Muqing explained to her with a light smile: "You En only rejects outsiders."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Chu Muqing, with a vague smile on his lips: "You mean, I'm not an outsider?"
Chu Muqing was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect her brain circuit to go directly there.
"Yuen thinks I'm not an outsider, what about you?" Who knows that Lin Xi looked at her reluctantly, and asked her with a smile on purpose: "Do you think I'm an outsider?"
Chu Muqing paused for a moment with her fingertips holding the phone, then looked at her softly, and said slowly, "No."
After hearing Chu Muqing's "No", Lin Xi's heart that had been suspended seemed to finally settle down.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
It seemed that You En was talking loudly. The sound insulation of the room was not good, so both Lin Xi and Chu Muqing could hear it.
Lin Xi sat up from the bed in a jerk, and Chu Muqing also stood up directly. After Lin Xi put on her shoes, Chu Muqing had already walked to the door.
When Chu Muqing opened the door, there was a moment of silence outside, and there was no sound.
Lin Xi stood up after putting on his shoes, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Chu Muqing's eyes fell on You En in the corridor. The other party was holding a mobile phone in his hand, his fingers and arms were trembling slightly, his whole body seemed to lose control of his emotions in an instant, and the surrounding atmosphere became dead silent.
Chu Muqing turned her head and said to Lin Xi: "It's nothing, it's You En who is on the phone."
Lin Xi walked over, came to the door together, and glanced at You En in the corridor. You En noticed them, and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "You are not allowed to come, you are not welcome here."
What the other party said, You En hung up the phone with a serious expression on his face.
Chu Muqing went out and came to You En: "What happened?"
You En continued to lower his head, but didn't say a word.
Chu Muqing knew that he didn't want to talk, so she didn't ask again.
Lin Xi walked over with Chu Muqing, glanced at Chu Muqing, and also saw doubts in the other's eyes.
Chu Muqing said that he could easily lose control of his emotions. Seeing that his whole body was shaking at this moment, it was obvious that he had encountered something that seriously stimulated his mood.
Lin Xi opened her mouth, and was about to ask him if he needed help. If she could help, she and Chu Muqing would definitely not just sit idly by.
However, at this moment, the downstairs doorbell rang.
With the hasty doorbell ringing, You En's face became paler and paler.
Eun was silent for a moment, then turned around quickly and went downstairs, and there was a rush of sound on the wooden steps.
Lin Xi and Chu Muqing looked at each other, and followed him quickly.
In the living room, the little guy was sitting on the sofa, swinging Eun's imitation, as if he couldn't spell it well.
Mother You had already got up and went to the entrance to open the door. The moment the door was opened, a young man walked in.
"It's Xiao Chen?" Mother You greeted enthusiastically: "Your child has come here, why are you still shopping?"
The man was tall, wearing casual clothes, with a cropped cut, and a slight smile on his face. He couldn't be called handsome, but he belonged to the category that people could remember after seeing him. He wasn't ugly.
He smiled and handed the gift to Mother Lin, and called affectionately: "Auntie, let me come and see You En."
Lin Xi tilted his head to see You En's reaction. The other party's attitude was in stark contrast to the enthusiastic Mother You. She looked at the man very coldly, her thin lips were pressed down, and her fists were clenched tightly, as if she was doing her best. Suppressing the anger in my heart.
The man entered the room under the warm hospitality of Mother You, and when his gaze fell on Lin Xi's face, he was taken aback for a moment.
The news on the Internet before was almost known to everyone. Everyone knew that there was a third lady named Lin Xi in the Lin family.
What puzzled him was why Lin Xi was here?
"Auntie, are there any guests at your house?" He smiled and asked Mama You.
Mother You beckoned him to sit down, then smiled at him and said, "It's not a guest, this is You En's cousin, Mu Qing."
The man was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and looked at Lin Xi and Chu Muqing in shock.
He and Eun have been working together, and the relationship between them has always been close, but even if it is such a close relationship, Eun never told him that his cousin is Chu Muqing.
"Jing Bo, hurry up, eat some fruit." Mama You pushed the fruit plate on the table forward.
Chen Jingbo refused with a smile, then looked at You En, who was staring at him the whole time without saying a word, and said, "You En, is it convenient for you to talk to me?"
You En frowned, because the family came today, and in front of Mother You, it was not good to continue talking with this man in the living room, so he said coldly: "Well, you come up with me."
"What do you have to go upstairs to talk about?" Mother You said helplessly.
Chen Jingbo explained with a smile: "It was about work before."
As he spoke, he stood up and followed You En upstairs.
After they were gone, Lin Xi withdrew his gaze from Chen Jingbo.
Her eyes couldn't help turning cold, and she immediately connected the previous story in her heart. Chen Jingbo was the one who took You En's research results and finally defected to Feng's family, reaping huge benefits.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Muqing tilted her head and glanced at her, feeling a bit cold in Lin Xi's eyes.
Lin Xi came back to his senses when he heard the words, looked at Chu Muqing with a faint smile, leaned into her ear again, and whispered, "Weasel pays New Year greetings to chickens."
Chu Muqing didn't know why.
Naturally, Lin Xi would not tell her the original plot, and only whispered to her: "Yuen was obviously on the phone with him just now, and you saw the reaction, this person doesn't seem like a serious person."
Chu Muqing pursed her lips and didn't speak any more. She just glanced in the direction of the stairs, with obvious worry in her eyes.
"What are you two talking about?"
On the sofa, Mother You hugged the little guy, smiled at Chu Muqing and Lin Xi who were not far away, then lowered her head and smiled in the little guy's ear: "Look at your two mothers, just whisper."
The little guy took it for granted, and said in a childish voice: "They always do this."
Mother You was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again, and said "Oh" in an unclear way.
Lin Xidan coughed, greeted Chu Muqing, and went out with her mobile phone to make a call.
When she came back from the phone call, Chen Jingbo had finished chatting with You En. The expression on You En's face was still cold, but Chen Jingbo looked annoyed.
He went downstairs with Eun, gritted his teeth at last, and looked at Eun: "Don't regret it! Live with your dreams and aloofness!"
He threw down the last sentence, and walked quickly to the entrance in resentment, and the door was slammed shut by him with a "bang".
The little guy was playing with the Rubik's Cube happily, but was frightened by the loud closing sound.
Lin Xi frowned.
Mother You didn't understand, so she looked at You En: "What's wrong with Xiao Chen? Are you fighting again?"
Eun paused for a moment, but didn't make a sound. It seemed that the strength in his body poured out in an instant, and he went up the stairs again in a vain footstep.
As soon as he left, only the people in the living room looked at each other.
Mother You explained to Lin Xi and Chu Muqing in a low voice: "The two children were working together at the time, and they were doing well all the time. Later, You En resigned, and Xiao Chen stopped coming to the house. This time it was hard to come, and I didn't expect to make a fuss. into this."
Mother You's tone was full of embarrassment, the child You En never said anything to her, and he kept everything in his heart.
Chu Muqing looked in the direction of the stairs, hesitating whether to go up and see him.
Lin Xi took the lead and said, "I'll go upstairs to see him."
The huge living room was empty, and the floor tiles were as clean as ever, as if they had just been waxed.
Mother You raised her head, and when she saw Chu Muqing and the little guy, she immediately put down the dumpling wrappers in her hands, stood up and said happily, "Mu Qing, Cheng Cheng, you're here."
Lin Xi stood beside Chu Muqing, and when Mother You's eyes fell on Lin Xi's face, she was slightly surprised: "Xiao Lin?"
Lin Xi smiled embarrassingly, and called out to Mama You, "Auntie."
It was only at this moment that Mother You realized that the young man who had just visited the house last time was actually the one who married her niece.

Lin Xi walked into the living room, and put the large and small boxes of presents by the wall. Mother You awkwardly called You En to pour tea for them.
The little guy's back was patted lightly by Chu Muqing, and she immediately obediently stepped forward to call for someone.
She first sweetly called "Aunt and Grandma" to Mother You, then looked at You En, hesitated and called out "Uncle" in a low voice.
You En kept his head down all the time, and the peaked cap covered most of his face.
The little guy looked at him eagerly after shouting, until Mother You reminded: "You En, Cheng Cheng is calling you."
Only then did Eun look at the little guy, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."
Mother You immediately asked them to sit down, and You En also went to make tea for them, and poured out a cup of warm water for the little guy.
After everyone sat down, Lin Xi watched as Mama You rolled up her sleeves and continued making dumplings.

Just as Chu Muqing was about to say a few words, Lin Xi had already rolled up his sleeves.
She looked at Mama You with a smile, and asked, "Auntie, where is your bathroom?"
Mother You immediately told You En who was sitting beside him silently: "Quickly, take Xiao Lin."
You En was called, and he looked a little embarrassed, so he stood up, turned around and walked forward.
Lin Xi also stood up and followed him.
She never expected that the genius boy who chose to commit suicide in the original text was actually Chu Muqing's cousin.
Such a coincidence made her completely unexpected, and she had been looking for You En for a long time during this period, but she had never received any news from this person. Unexpectedly, You En appeared so unexpectedly.

"...Huh?" Even though he was very repulsed to get in close contact with people, when he thought that this person was married to his cousin Chu Muqing, he felt that he should get closer, so he moved closer to Lin Xi and asked her, "What's the matter? "
Lin Xi leaned back on his shoulders, leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and said, "Geniuses can't die."
She was so drunk that she seemed to have lost consciousness, You En frowned, thinking about the various meanings in her words.
The other party mentioned "this time", if it was because she learned about her illness and her mental state from her cousin, she would not say "this time" when she was drunk.
Something came to mind for a moment, even if it felt unbelievable, I couldn't help but re-examine the woman in front of me, it didn't seem like some drunken talk.
Does she know something?
Lin Xi was so drunk that she felt her temples swell and ache, until someone beside her supported her arm, allowing her to use her strength to stand up.
The opponent's body was very soft, she opened it slightly, and saw Chu Muqing who was close at hand.
Chu Muqing helped her up the stairs, during which time Lin Xi stepped on the steps, and stepped on the steps several times but missed, Chu Muqing managed to help her to the bed in the room.
Chu Muqing straightened up and looked at her helplessly: "You can choose not to drink."
Lin Xi squinted at her and smiled: "It's nothing to do. It's the first time I meet my aunt, I still need to drink, and I'm drunk... not very drunk."
Chu Muqing felt quite helpless, still not drunk like this?It's hard to speak.
Chu Muqing looked at her, Lin Xi's entire face was flushed, this man was drunk, he was about to turn around and go downstairs to bring her some more water.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, his wrist was grabbed by that man.
Chu Muqing turned around and looked at her. Lin Xi's eyes seemed to become clear in an instant, but she was not fully awake. She looked at her with burning eyes and said, "I think it's good to eat as a family. It's lively. I feel It’s very close, it looks like a family.”
"Okay." Knowing that she was drunk, Chu Muqing patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and said, "We will come here often after that."
Lin Xi laughed: "Okay."
As she spoke, she let go of Chu Muqing's wrist. Chu Muqing looked at her and couldn't help being a little curious: "Did you seldom get together when you were at home?"
Lin Xi smiled wryly, closed his eyes, and spoke indistinctly: "I used to...have no family, where did I get...family?"
Chu Muqing only thought that she was talking drunkenly, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems reasonable for a family like the Lin family to have weak family ties.
It's just that Lin's mother cared for Lin Xi very much. Even her stepfather, Chairman Lin Zhourong, would take the initiative to help Chu Zhi find a school to go to, and even take the initiative to help her solve the problem of Chu's shares.
Such a family shouldn't let Lin Xi say such things?
Chu Muqing brought warm water up from downstairs, Lin Xi was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.
She slept for an hour and a half. After waking up, she was fully awake. Looking at Chu Muqing who was sitting on the side and reading messages on her mobile phone, she looked over from a distance and could only see a gentle and slim figure.
Chu Muqing heard the rustling movement behind her, turned around, saw that she was awake, and was about to say something.
Lin Xi got up from the bed in a panic, and said helplessly: "It's over, it's over, now You En will definitely blame me."
After hearing her words, Chu Muqing paused, then raised her eyes to look at her, puzzled and said, "What?"
Lin Xi became more and more flustered: "He loves cleaning so much, he must blame me for sleeping in his guest room."
"How can it be so serious?" Chu Muqing explained to her with a light smile: "You En only rejects outsiders."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Chu Muqing, with a vague smile on his lips: "You mean, I'm not an outsider?"
Chu Muqing was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect her brain circuit to go directly there.
"Yuen thinks I'm not an outsider, what about you?" Who knows that Lin Xi looked at her reluctantly, and asked her with a smile on purpose: "Do you think I'm an outsider?"
Chu Muqing paused for a moment with her fingertips holding the phone, then looked at her softly, and said slowly, "No."
After hearing Chu Muqing's "No", Lin Xi's heart that had been suspended seemed to finally settle down.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
It seemed that You En was talking loudly. The sound insulation of the room was not good, so both Lin Xi and Chu Muqing could hear it.
Lin Xi sat up from the bed in a jerk, and Chu Muqing also stood up directly. After Lin Xi put on her shoes, Chu Muqing had already walked to the door.
When Chu Muqing opened the door, there was a moment of silence outside, and there was no sound.
Lin Xi stood up after putting on his shoes, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Chu Muqing's eyes fell on You En in the corridor. The other party was holding a mobile phone in his hand, his fingers and arms were trembling slightly, his whole body seemed to lose control of his emotions in an instant, and the surrounding atmosphere became dead silent.
Chu Muqing turned her head and said to Lin Xi: "It's nothing, it's You En who is on the phone."
Lin Xi walked over, came to the door together, and glanced at You En in the corridor. You En noticed them, and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "You are not allowed to come, you are not welcome here."
What the other party said, You En hung up the phone with a serious expression on his face.
Chu Muqing went out and came to You En: "What happened?"
You En continued to lower his head, but didn't say a word.
Chu Muqing knew that he didn't want to talk, so she didn't ask again.
Lin Xi walked over with Chu Muqing, glanced at Chu Muqing, and also saw doubts in the other's eyes.
Chu Muqing said that he could easily lose control of his emotions. Seeing that his whole body was shaking at this moment, it was obvious that he had encountered something that seriously stimulated his mood.
Lin Xi opened her mouth, and was about to ask him if he needed help. If she could help, she and Chu Muqing would definitely not just sit idly by.
However, at this moment, the downstairs doorbell rang.
With the hasty doorbell ringing, You En's face became paler and paler.
Eun was silent for a moment, then turned around quickly and went downstairs, and there was a rush of sound on the wooden steps.
Lin Xi and Chu Muqing looked at each other, and followed him quickly.
In the living room, the little guy was sitting on the sofa, swinging Eun's imitation, as if he couldn't spell it well.
Mother You had already got up and went to the entrance to open the door. The moment the door was opened, a young man walked in.
"It's Xiao Chen?" Mother You greeted enthusiastically: "Your child has come here, why are you still shopping?"
The man was tall, wearing casual clothes, with a cropped cut, and a slight smile on his face. He couldn't be called handsome, but he belonged to the category that people could remember after seeing him. He wasn't ugly.
He smiled and handed the gift to Mother Lin, and called affectionately: "Auntie, let me come and see You En."
Lin Xi tilted his head to see You En's reaction. The other party's attitude was in stark contrast to the enthusiastic Mother You. She looked at the man very coldly, her thin lips were pressed down, and her fists were clenched tightly, as if she was doing her best. Suppressing the anger in my heart.
The man entered the room under the warm hospitality of Mother You, and when his gaze fell on Lin Xi's face, he was taken aback for a moment.
The news on the Internet before was almost known to everyone. Everyone knew that there was a third lady named Lin Xi in the Lin family.
What puzzled him was why Lin Xi was here?
"Auntie, are there any guests at your house?" He smiled and asked Mama You.
Mother You beckoned him to sit down, then smiled at him and said, "It's not a guest, this is You En's cousin, Mu Qing."
The man was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and looked at Lin Xi and Chu Muqing in shock.
He and Eun have been working together, and the relationship between them has always been close, but even if it is such a close relationship, Eun never told him that his cousin is Chu Muqing.
"Jing Bo, hurry up, eat some fruit." Mama You pushed the fruit plate on the table forward.
Chen Jingbo refused with a smile, then looked at You En, who was staring at him the whole time without saying a word, and said, "You En, is it convenient for you to talk to me?"
You En frowned, because the family came today, and in front of Mother You, it was not good to continue talking with this man in the living room, so he said coldly: "Well, you come up with me."
"What do you have to go upstairs to talk about?" Mother You said helplessly.
Chen Jingbo explained with a smile: "It was about work before."
As he spoke, he stood up and followed You En upstairs.
After they were gone, Lin Xi withdrew his gaze from Chen Jingbo.
Her eyes couldn't help turning cold, and she immediately connected the previous story in her heart. Chen Jingbo was the one who took You En's research results and finally defected to Feng's family, reaping huge benefits.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Muqing tilted her head and glanced at her, feeling a bit cold in Lin Xi's eyes.
Lin Xi came back to his senses when he heard the words, looked at Chu Muqing with a faint smile, leaned into her ear again, and whispered, "Weasel pays New Year greetings to chickens."
Chu Muqing didn't know why.
Naturally, Lin Xi would not tell her the original plot, and only whispered to her: "Yuen was obviously on the phone with him just now, and you saw the reaction, this person doesn't seem like a serious person."
Chu Muqing pursed her lips and didn't speak any more. She just glanced in the direction of the stairs, with obvious worry in her eyes.
"What are you two talking about?"
On the sofa, Mother You hugged the little guy, smiled at Chu Muqing and Lin Xi who were not far away, then lowered her head and smiled in the little guy's ear: "Look at your two mothers, just whisper."
The little guy took it for granted, and said in a childish voice: "They always do this."
Mother You was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again, and said "Oh" in an unclear way.
Lin Xidan coughed, greeted Chu Muqing, and went out with her mobile phone to make a call.
When she came back from the phone call, Chen Jingbo had finished chatting with You En. The expression on You En's face was still cold, but Chen Jingbo looked annoyed.
He went downstairs with Eun, gritted his teeth at last, and looked at Eun: "Don't regret it! Live with your dreams and aloofness!"
He threw down the last sentence, and walked quickly to the entrance in resentment, and the door was slammed shut by him with a "bang".
The little guy was playing with the Rubik's Cube happily, but was frightened by the loud closing sound.
Lin Xi frowned.
Mother You didn't understand, so she looked at You En: "What's wrong with Xiao Chen? Are you fighting again?"
Eun paused for a moment, but didn't make a sound. It seemed that the strength in his body poured out in an instant, and he went up the stairs again in a vain footstep.
As soon as he left, only the people in the living room looked at each other.
Mother You explained to Lin Xi and Chu Muqing in a low voice: "The two children were working together at the time, and they were doing well all the time. Later, You En resigned, and Xiao Chen stopped coming to the house. This time it was hard to come, and I didn't expect to make a fuss. into this."
Mother You's tone was full of embarrassment, the child You En never said anything to her, and he kept everything in his heart.
Chu Muqing looked in the direction of the stairs, hesitating whether to go up and see him.
Lin Xi took the lead and said, "I'll go upstairs to see him."
