Chapter 265: Eventually, we will all face
"I'm so tired, I'm so tired."
Dongfang Qinlan returned to her residence and immediately poured herself a cup of cold tea, then began to drink it.
"You must be very tired."
Su Mu stood by, reached out his hand, and gently pinched the girl's shoulder.
"Of course I'm tired."
Dongfang Qinlan complained, "You don't know how annoying my father is. Today, I've either been pouring tea or massaging his shoulders..."
The girl chattered away, recounting in detail every detail of her day at her father's house.
"Silly boy, you're absolutely right. Father does have something against you."
The girl clenched her fists and said indignantly: "Daddy is old and confused, and he can't judge people well. Really..."
Su Mu was standing nearby, listening carefully and having a rough idea in his mind that the news of his trip to Tushan might have finally reached Dongfang Gu Yue.
Dongfang Gu Yue might even suspect that Jin Renfeng's death had something to do with him.
"But, idiot, don't worry. I'll talk to Daddy in the next few days and make sure he knows you're doing fine..."
Dongfang Qinlan spoke with some excitement. It was her first time helping the fool, and she was very motivated.
"it is good."
Su Mu nodded, then gently scratched the girl's nose: "You are exhausted, go to bed early, and take good care of yourself."
"Yes, but you have to stay with me and keep telling me stories. You can't leave until I fall asleep."
"it is good."
…………
After chatting with Dongfang Qinlan for a while and coaxing her to sleep, Su Mu covered her with the quilt and quietly walked out of the room.
Before they knew it, it was already dark. A full moon hung high in the sky, casting cool moonlight on the earth. In the room next to Dongfang Qinlan's, the lights were still flickering.
He walked to the door of Dongfang Huaizhu and hesitated a little.
"Squeak~"
The window opened, revealing Dongfang Huaizhu's pretty face, which was charming, delicate and dignified.
The hairpin that bound Dongfang Huaizhu's hair had been removed, so the girl's hair was a little messy at the moment.
As soon as she opened the window, she saw Su Mu hesitating at the door. A hint of joy flashed in the depths of the girl's eyes. She glanced secretly at her sister's room. Seeing that her sister's room was closed and the lights were off, her eyes became much bolder: "Did you just come out from Qin Lan's place?"
The girl whispered, with a hint of sourness.
"Well, I just coaxed her to sleep, and Qin Lan insisted that I tell her a story before she went to sleep."
He smiled, looked at Dongfang Huaizhu, and then pointed at the door.
Dongfang Huaizhu's cheeks turned slightly red. After a little hesitation, he left the window. Soon, the sound of the door opening was heard.
The girl was standing at the door, wearing a turquoise skirt, looking pretty.
Su Mu smiled and walked to the side. When he passed by, he couldn't help but sniff:
"smell good!"
This one sentence made Dongfang Huaizhu blush.
Su Mu liked what he saw, but he didn't go on. Instead, he walked into the house.
The house was very clean. An oil lamp was lit on the table, and the flickering light illuminated the room.
There were a lot of papers on the table, some neatly arranged, and some looked a little messy.
Su Mu walked over and casually picked up a few pictures to look through. Most of them were about Jin Renfeng.
"I've almost finished the investigation. I'll be able to show it to my father in the next couple of days."
Dongfang Huaizhu whispered.
"Ah."
Su Mu put down the paper he was reading and asked softly, "Would it be better if we let the old man discover the true identity of Jin Renfeng himself?"
"That's going to be a little troublesome."
Dongfang Huaizhu had already walked over and swiftly gathered up the messy papers while speaking, "However, if Father finds out himself, it might be better than us exposing Jin Renfeng's true identity."
After listening to this, Su Mu told Huai Zhu about Dongfang Qinlan's recent stay with her father, and then continued to ask in a low voice:
"Then tomorrow, are you sure Huaizhu can show father-in-law some evidence of Jin Renfeng's true identity?"
"It should be fine."
Dongfang Huaizhu thought about it and nodded.
"Huaizhu is really amazing."
Su Mu couldn't help but praise her. Looking at the picturesque beauty under the lamp, he couldn't help but step forward and hugged Dongfang Huaizhu in his arms.
Perhaps she was used to the other party's sudden attacks, so after a symbolic struggle, she let the other party hug her.
Su Mu was obviously not satisfied with just hugging her, so he leaned over and wanted to kiss Dongfang Huaizhu's cheek.
Dongfang Huaizhu's face turned slightly red, and she just turned her face to the side, intending to let him do as he wished, but she immediately saw a kiss mark on the side of his face.
That kiss mark was certainly not hers.
This made Dongfang Huaizhu feel a little resentful for no reason. He pushed Su Mu away and walked to the table to continue packing up.
Su Mu didn't quite understand why Dongfang Huaizhu suddenly got angry. He wanted to go up and hug Dongfang Huaizhu again, but Dongfang Huaizhu didn't let him hug her.
This made him scratch his head in confusion, not understanding what he had done wrong to offend Dongfang Huaizhu.
He walked to Dongfang Huaizhu again and held Dongfang Huaizhu's hand.
The first time I got rid of it.
Then pull again.
Shake it off again.
Then, he continued to be shameless, and after several times, Dongfang Huaizhu let him hold her little hand.
"Huaizhu, are you angry?"
Su Mu asked in a low voice.
Dongfang Huaizhu didn't say anything, obviously he was not happy.
Su Mu was telling lies, making faces, and telling all kinds of jokes to make Dongfang Huaizhu laugh.
Dongfang Huaizhu was about to forgive him several times, but when he saw the kiss mark on his cheek, he felt uncomfortable again, so he ignored him again.
Su Mu had no choice but to continue coaxing and pestering her.
"Go wash your face."
Finally, Dongfang Huaizhu scolded him in a bad mood.
Su Mu was slightly confused, but still obediently came to the washbasin in the room. He wanted to wash his face first, but seemed to think of something, and looked at the mirror in the washbasin again. Sure enough, he saw a kiss mark on the side of his face. It was the kiss that Dongfang Qinlan had left when he was coaxing Dongfang Qinlan today.
This made him suddenly realize.
I secretly cursed myself for not paying any attention to these things, and I felt a little guilty.
After quickly washing his face, he came to Dongfang Huaizhu again.
When he came to Dongfang Huaizhu again, he wanted to explain, but found that he didn't know how to explain. He could only lower his head and stay beside her dejectedly.
Dongfang Huaizhu didn't talk much either.
The room suddenly fell into silence.
Although the two have been deliberately avoiding it and have been reluctant to mention it, they will eventually have to face it.
