Lin Mu moved quickly, and arrived in the Xicheng area the next day. According to his thin memory, Alai, the "little princess of the iron factory", lived nearby.

At the coming-of-age ceremony before, Lin Mu mentioned the Xicheng area in front of Alai. He seemed to be quite familiar with this area, but in fact, his adoptive parents' home was not in Xicheng, and he didn't know much about Xicheng at all.

The Xicheng area is intricate and complex, separated by a road, there are high-rise buildings and intersecting lanes, and all kinds of people live here, from billionaires with a net worth of tens of billions to beggars.Finding someone is really looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, the little princess's reputation was very bad, so Lin Mu asked two random people to inquire about it, and found out the approximate location.

After asking all the way, he came to an old tube building.

This is an old city, with tube buildings and shantytowns. It is very crowded. It is a gathering place for poor people who come to the city with their families to work, but cannot afford the high rent.

Lin Mu thought of Alai at the coming-of-age ceremony that day, wearing a low-cut skirt and bright makeup, she was so beautiful, no one would have thought that she came from such a place.

Circling up the old stairs, he came to the house number 1178 in the fifteenth building.

"Knock knock!" He started knocking on the door.

The soundproofing of the old house was not good. Lin Mu could hear clearly when he knocked on the door, inside and outside the door, upstairs and downstairs. He even knocked a dozen times, but there was no movement inside the door.

Lin Mu was wondering if Alai was not at home, or did he find the wrong place?As a result, when No.11 was knocked, there was finally a sound in the door.

It seemed that someone was overwhelmed and finally got up from the bed, but she couldn't hold back her temper, but the things on the bedside were messy, so as she got up, the things on the bed fell down with a bang.

All the way to the door, it was already a few minutes later, Lin Mu waited tirelessly, knocking on the door again and again, like a Taoist priest urging the soul.

Ali was very upset.

She was wearing suspenders, slippers, and disheveled hair. She opened the door with a "boom", and before she could see the face of the knocker, she pointed at the knocker's nose and cursed: "Knock, knock, what are you knocking? Hurry up!" Reincarnation!"

After seeing clearly who the person standing outside the door was, the scolding in her mouth stopped instantly, and she seemed a little surprised: "Why are you?"

This question was quite hostile. Obviously, she hadn't forgotten how Lin Mu demolished her at the coming-of-age ceremony.

Alai didn't look good, but Lin Mu wasn't angry either. He smiled and took a step forward: "I have something to do with you."

He blinked, not beating around the bush at all: "At the coming-of-age ceremony, why did you get close to Yuan Qinghao? Did you...have a grudge against Yuan's family?"

In the early stage of the novel, there is not much ink on Alai, but there is a vague mention of her hatred for Yuan's family.

Lin Mu decided to try it out.

Upon hearing this, Alai's face immediately turned green, and her instantly stiff expression showed that she never expected Lin Mu to ask such a question.She was a little flustered, a little angry, and a little panicked as if someone had revealed her secret.

All kinds of emotions were intertwined, and the result was a "bang", and she slammed the door back again.

Lin Mu was shut outside the door, touched his nose resentfully, and muttered, "Why is it so cloudy and sunny?"

But at this time, he already had a conclusion in his heart.

He didn't realize that he had run into a wall at all, and after blinking his eyes, he became a good man again, and said to the woman who was walking in the room making a loud crackling noise:

"Alai, you don't have to be so excited when you see me. It's understandable that you don't like the Yuan family. Although I am also from the Yuan family in theory, I was abandoned outside since I was a child. It has nothing to do with what they did. None. If the Yuan family really did something to you, then you should hate them, and you shouldn't blame me, right?"

The room fell silent, no one answered.

Lin Mu felt that the other party listened to it, so he continued: "And the original family is not good to me, you know I was just admitted back, right? Everyone in their family looks down on me, and you look down on me, everyone They are embarrassing me, if possible, I would rather not be from my original family."

Lin Mu cleared his throat, "Do you know why I came to you?"

Finally, there were some small movements in the room, rustling like sand, and it was hard to hear what they were doing.

Alai still didn't speak, but Lin Mu felt that since he didn't say no, then there was no big problem, so he continued: "I'm here to seek cooperation, you have a grudge with the Yuan family, I can help you."

"How can you help?" After a long silence, Alai finally spoke.

Lin Mu, who was standing outside the door, narrowed his eyes, and chose a comfortable position to lean against the wall: "I am the nominal son of the Yuan family now, what you want to know and investigate, I always have a better chance than you."

The people inside the door didn't move, but Lin Mu knew she was listening, so he slowed down his tone: "As long as there is a chance, what should I do?"

As he spoke, Lin Mu laughed softly, and Alai heard it, and felt that there was an inexplicable bewitching meaning in the laughter.

Then Lin Mu paused, and said, "But you have to help me, mutual benefit is called cooperation, isn't it?"

"...what's the matter?"

Lin Mu blinked, imitating the original owner's arrogant nature in front of outsiders, and opened his mouth: "I hate that kid Siyuan Qinghao, if there is him without me, if there is me without him, I have to first Just piss him off."

"Don't tell me you still want to fight for the family property?" Alai was surprised.

"What is contention? Isn't this what I deserve? I am the real son of the original family now."

Lin Mu's greedy tone seemed to have finally moved the woman in the old house. It was half an hour before the door in front of Lin Mu opened again.

At this time, Alai, who was wearing suspenders and disheveled hair, disappeared, and standing in front of him was the beautiful woman at the coming-of-age ceremony.

Unexpectedly, Alai had no intention of shutting Lin Mu out at all, but closed the door to put on makeup and change clothes.

Alai racked his brains to climb up to Yuan's family, but of course it wouldn't stop Lin Mu from approaching, but just when he opened the door, she was startled when she saw someone coming, and her sloppy appearance in suspenders was all exposed in front of him.

Including Lin Mu's probing sentence, also briefly made her panic.

In desperation, she slammed the door shut.

As soon as she closed the door, Alai regretted it. She was worried that Lin Mu would leave in a fit of anger, but she didn't expect that the young man who smiled maliciously at the coming-of-age ceremony turned out to be a gourd with a bad mouth. She didn't have anything Said, the other party has already babbled a lot.

It was all nonsense. Alai didn't want to talk to him at first, but he heard Lin Mu say that he wanted to seek cooperation.

She couldn't help but speak up, and her impetuous heart sank miraculously, and she began to sit in the messy room and put on makeup for herself.

Some random thoughts flashed through her mind.

Lin Mu obviously investigated her; Lin Mu said he hates Yuan Qinghao; Lin Mu's ambition is not small.

Alai thought, maybe we can try to cooperate with this person?

So she quickly finished her makeup, which was not as delicate as usual, but the person outside should not be able to tell; she also quickly finished her hair, and finally picked up two clean clothes from the debris pile and changed into them.

Pretty and beautiful appeared in front of Lin Mu.

"You were putting on makeup just now?" Lin Mu blinked, his eyes bright.

He immediately realized Alai's series of psychological twists and turns, and praised him without hesitation, "It's more suitable for you to look beautiful."

After putting on makeup and wearing clothes that accentuate her figure, Alai seemed to have really turned into a delicate and elegant woman.

Her every move is no longer as rough as before, but more bright and kitschy, and her breath, every move reveals a taste of seduction.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a "little princess".

Lin Mu smiled: "Yuan Qinghao will definitely like you."

He said so, but Lin Mu didn't think so in his heart.

Yuan Qinghao despises this kind of gaudyness. In the novel, Alai had an excellent opportunity, but he never succeeded with Yuan Qinghao.

Personally, I like nice sounds, and Alai smiled happily: "I've slept for a long time, and I'm just hungry."

After seeing Lin Mu's chatter, Alai seemed to have given up on covering up her true nature. She slapped Lin Mu's face with the delicate backpack, turned her head and gave him a wink, and said, "It's just time for dinner. Now, I'll give you a chance to invite me to dinner."

Lin Mu raised a smile: "Okay."

Soon, Lin Mu's smile collapsed.

When he said please eat, he really invited him to eat. Alai chose a restaurant with a sea view. There was a violin player in the restaurant, with ambiguous and flickering candlelight, and a golden price list.

Although he lives in the old city, Alai is worthy of being a "little princess". He hangs out with men a lot, goes in and out of high-end restaurants and dance parties, and has five people and six people in front of others. Madam's manner.

The two of them took their seats under the guidance of the waiter. The seat was booked well. On the side of the table was a huge sea-view glass wall. Through this glass, Lin Mu seemed to be able to hear the sound of the turbulent waves coming from the sea.

When he recovered, the restaurant was quiet and warm, and there was an extremely bright rose on the table. The color was so red that it hurt Lin Mu's eyes.

Alec enjoyed it more than he could.

"I've only been here twice," Alai looked at the turbulent sea outside the glass window, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, which seemed a little sad.She seemed to be very familiar with this place, but what she said was not like that: "This is the second time."

Lin Mu followed her words and asked, "When was the first time?"

"The first time was with my dad."

According to Lin Mu's knowledge, after the hardware company of Alai's family went bankrupt, Alai's father abandoned them and ran away with the money, and their whereabouts are unknown.

This was an unexpected answer. Lin Mu felt that he and Alai were not familiar enough to be able to spy on each other's heart. After thinking about it, he didn't answer.

The two fell silent.

In order not to make the atmosphere too awkward, Lin Mu began to talk about other things.

Then he added fuel and embellishment to the situation where he was treated coldly at the home of his adoptive parents, and was targeted everywhere after being taken back to his original home.

He is very good at adding oil and vinegar. Although he has never done it before, he is very familiar with it for the first time, and when it comes to Yuan Qinghao, Lin Mu is very sincere:

"Yuan Qinghao is really annoying. He just looks at people with his nostrils. You say he is an adopted son, why should he be superior to me?"

Arrogance, that is the arrogance of looking down on those around you.

Lin Mu was also arrogant, feeling that the people around him were stupid, but what he hated most was the same arrogance.

At the beginning, when he scolded Yuan Qinghao, it was like a flood opened, and he talked endlessly. On the contrary, when he talked about other people, he was brushed aside, and even his eyes became colder. It seemed that it was not worth mentioning a few words at all.

In the end, Lin Mu found a good angle in advance, and drew a cold and ironic smile on the corner of his mouth: "And you know, I suspect that it was not an accident that I was hugged wrong back then."

Alai was surprised when he heard that, but Lin Mu stopped there and didn't say much.

After Lin Mu's side had finished digging out his heart and lungs, his eyes lowered, he glanced over to Alai's side, and said, "It's your turn."

Lin Mu talked a lot, but didn't seem to say anything. The strange thing was that Alai felt that Lin Mu was still sincere, so she brewed it up and briefly talked about her situation.

With an attitude and tone that is as understated as possible, he said: "My family used to run a hardware company, but later the company went bankrupt, my mother jumped off the building, my father... ran away, and I took on a huge debt. I need money, I need money. Lots and lots of money."

So she resigned herself to depravity and climbed into the beds of many men,

"I didn't understand anything when I was in high school. I didn't know anything about companies, finances, and equity. When I went to college, I found out that when my dad's company was preparing to merge with another company, he had a very close relationship with a woman."

"I suspect that the bankruptcy of the company was caused by her."

"Yes, it's Zhou Fuyu from the Yuan family."

Alai didn't say much, and Lin Mu didn't forcefully ask questions when they met for the first time. They just got a general understanding of each other's situation, and they ordered as soon as they could, and the restaurant began to serve food.

Alai made a big deal and ordered a lot of dishes. If she didn't pay the bill, she was very generous.

Appetizers, main courses, and desserts were served one by one, and the waiter refilled them with red wine on the way.

The red wine in the glass was like blood, reflecting the faces of the two under the light.

Alai looked at Lin Mu carefully.

Under the soft lighting and almost ambiguous atmosphere, the gentle and handsome young man seems to have changed his temperament. When he is not speaking, he looks very mysterious, probably because of the red wine, his dark eyes seem to reflect There was a ray of red light.

Suddenly, Alai was a little stunned.

"You look a bit like a man." Alai said suddenly.

"Who?"

Lin Mu blinked, opened and closed his eyes, with a sense of bewilderment.

"It's the woman in my dad's photo album."

It was a very beautiful woman. When he was young, Alai's father put the picture of that woman in his wallet. In the dead of night, he often took out the picture to see things and think about others.

Little Alai didn't know who the woman was, but her mother kept talking to her, saying that the woman was a vixen.

Seeing Alai's expression, Lin Mu knew that this was not a suitable topic for questioning. He stopped his mouth properly, and then started talking nonsense: "Zhou Fuyu must have something to do with your father's company bankruptcy. I hate Yuan Qinghao. You should investigate Zhou Fuyu." Fuyu, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Lin Mu raised his glass at the right time, and said a witty remark: "I wish us all a bright future."

Two transparent goblets, filled with scarlet liquid, collided with each other with a click.On the goblet, their thoughtful eyes are reflected.

The reflected figures are not even limited to them.

When Lin Mu saw those familiar arrogant eyes appearing in the restaurant, even he couldn't help being stunned.

Yuan Qinghao, even came to this restaurant?

Under the ambiguous light, he and Yuan Qinghao caught sight of each other unexpectedly.
