Chapter 1696 How do you know I didn’t go back?

After Shen Muye left the hotel, he received a call from Xu Lue.

"Makino, where are you? You didn't go home last night?"

"Um."

Shen Muye took out a cigarette and lit it, then puffed out his eyes skillfully, "How do you know I didn't go back?"

"I went to your house last night to look for you. I brought a late-night snack after get off work, but you weren't there, so I came back and ate it alone. Did you get the person?"

Xu Lue knew that Shen Muye had a target recently, and he was the daughter of the Jiang family. He was not rich enough. If he got a chance to get married, wouldn't the entire Jiang family belong to him?

President Jiang is such a one-child, and I heard he is very fond of her.

"Didn't sleep."

Shen Muye answered straightforwardly and glanced at the sky, "I'll talk about it when I get back."

Today is Saturday, Xu Lue doesn't go to work, so he is waiting for Shen Muye at his home.

Shen Muye arrived very quickly and met Xu Lue by chance in front of several trash cans. Xu Lue was taking out the trash. There were several pools of sewage in front of the trash cans in this place. You would step on them if you were not careful.

Seeing him coming, Xu Lue's face was filled with surprise.

"Did you come back directly from the hotel? Xu Lue, tell me honestly, did you really not sleep? You can bear it. Didn't you say that Miss Jiang is quite frivolous?"

"It's quite frivolous."

Shen Muye thought of Jiang Liu's unsolicited kiss, so the dislike on his brows should not be too obvious.

Xu Lue's face suddenly turned sour, "I'm really convinced by you. You can hold back your sleep for this. Damn it, if I had a face like yours, I would have several girlfriends."

Xu Lue has an average appearance and is 1.75 meters tall. Among men, he is extremely ordinary.

But he and Xu Lue are good friends, but best friends.

The two of them walked to the home in the alley together. This home was very remote and not spacious, but at least it had a place to stay, and it belonged to Xu Lue himself, so he didn't have to pay rent like Shen Muye.

Shen Muye had lived here for a while before and was very familiar with it.

There was a little girl sitting on a wheelchair in the small yard. This was Xu Lue's younger sister. She had never stood up since she was a child because of her atrophic legs.

In order to treat her illness, Xu Lue still has no savings, but after all these years, he has finally come to realize that his sister's leg cannot be cured.

Like Xu Lue, the brother and sister have no relatives, but Xu Lue still has a fiancée in the hospital. He works hard just to pay for Qiao Ting's medical expenses.

Xu Lue knew Qiao Ting. They used to play together before Qiao Ting was hospitalized.

At that time, everyone ate instant noodles together, drank cheap beer at night, cooked skewers together, and scolded the imperial capital for being such a shitty place to bury people’s dreams.

On nights when it snowed heavily, Qiao Ting knitted a scarf for Shen Muye. Although we didn't have any money at the time, we worked together and were able to save a lot every month, but we just couldn't afford big brands.

Xu Lue was present that night when Shen Muye received the scarf. The man became jealous on the spot and hugged Qiao when he heard that he was going to marry her.

The young couple smiled heartlessly, facing the snowflakes, and it was so sweet.

Xu Lue was jealous at the time, "I'm envious of you, my childhood sweetheart, my childhood sweetheart. With your looks like Makino, your future children will be so good-looking."

Qiao listened and said, "That's right. I've never seen anyone better looking than Makino."

Xu Lue was annoyed by the two of them, but he was also happy for them.

But the good times didn't last long, Qiao Ting soon fell ill and went to the hospital for diagnosis, which turned out to be a brain tumor.

Doctors in ordinary hospitals did not dare to operate, so they went to the tertiary hospital for examination. After a lot of trouble, they lost hundreds of thousands of money, but the disease never recovered.

Later, Shen Muye came to her one day and said that he had found out the truth about the car accident and that he was going to get money from Jiang Liu.

Shen Muye was really nice to Qiao Ting. Hundreds of thousands of dollars went in without making a sound, and he didn't complain at all.

Later, I had no choice but to gamble again. He was smart and ruthless. He won hundreds of thousands, but he offended some gangsters and often suffered physical injuries.

After spending hundreds of thousands on it, Qiao heard that the situation was even worse. If he didn't have surgery within half a year, he would probably die.

Shen Muye's only way is to get to know Jiang Liu and get money from Jiang Liu.

Xu Lue thought he was joking, but it didn't take long before he actually got Jiang Liu's phone number.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting in the hut. Shen Muye held a cigarette between his fingertips and leaned back with one foot slightly propped up, looking a little unfocused.

Xu Lue had seen him gamble at all, betting on everything. As a result, the group of loan sharks still refused to let him go.

Shen Muye was the first to win money from loan sharks and even win a large amount.

"So the hotel where you stayed with Miss Jiang last night?"

"Um."

"Really nothing was done?"

"Kissed."

When he said this, he frowned, as if he didn't want to remember.

Xu Lue started to peel the oranges on the table jealously, "I said you don't like others. Even if you sleep, it will be in vain. You have to put down some things sometimes. Otherwise, if you join in, don't you expect to die without dedicating yourself to it? How can there be such a good thing in the world if you take money from other people's hands?"

The only daughter of the Jiang family sacrificed her life, yet he actually despised her like this.

Xu Lue felt that the orange in his hand was a bit sour.

Shen Muye was in a bad mood and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can nearby, "I just don't like it."

He only had Qiao Ting in his heart, and he never forgot that he did all this for Qiao Ting. (End of chapter)
