Chapter 233 What a Silly Dog
In Building 108 of Jinyang Villa, the living room was filled with a quiet and slightly tense atmosphere. Chairman Bai sat steadily on the sofa, his posture like a towering mountain, motionless. He gently picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea fragrance, and then slowly drank the tea. His every move showed majesty.
Bai Jinrong was like a lively little deer, wandering around the hall with curiosity on her face.
Her slender fingers seemed to have magic as they gently slid across the table, leaving her cheerful breath wherever they passed.
She smiled as brightly as a blooming flower and said loudly, "Not bad, Mr. Mu, the founder of Renxin Hospital? Dad, Mr. Mu seems to have difficulty walking?"
President Bai nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "Yes, but the performance that day did not affect his performance at all. His momentum and ability are definitely not something that ordinary people can match."
Bai Jinrong playfully walked behind President Bai, lying on the sofa like a lazy kitten, and said coquettishly, "Dad, I'll go and have a sparring match with them later to test my skills."
President Bai immediately frowned and scolded, "Rong'er, don't be rude. This is someone's home. Discussing in someone's home is considered a provocation. We are guests and should behave like guests."
Bai Jinrong shook her head nonchalantly: "Dad, you think too much. I just think they are a little interesting. I just want to get to know them."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting!" At this moment, Mu Xiaoji's gentle voice sounded like a clear mountain spring, breaking the slightly tense atmosphere in the living room.
Bai Jinrong looked back curiously, and suddenly, her eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and could not be moved away.
Mu Xiaoji was seen holding Jiang Chengyu's hand and walking down the stairs slowly, handsomely and gracefully.
Mu Xiaoji was wearing a white casual outfit, and the pure white made his temperament more elegant.
Although his legs were slightly lame, it did not affect his handsome face at all. Instead, it added a bit of pitiful and fragile beauty.
Jiang Chengyu, who was standing beside him, had white hair that shone with silver light in the sun, like a god descending. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and his deep pupils seemed to hide endless secrets.
The high nose bridge stands like a mountain, and the angular facial features are just right.
Her thin lips curled up slightly, and that smile seemed to be able to melt all the ice in the world, with an irresistible affinity.
He was wearing a tailored shirt with a fresh and elegant light blue hue, and a pair of white casual straight-leg pants that made him look tall and straight.
The movement of going downstairs was light and graceful, and the white hair floated lightly with it, showing the appearance of the two men as refreshing and handsome big boys.
Bai Jinrong stared at the two of them blankly, as if she was under a spell. Her rosy little mouth couldn't help but mutter, "Wow, so handsome!"
Bai Jinhui couldn't help shaking his head and laughing at his sister's infatuated look. He stood up and walked closer to Bai Jinrong, patted her shoulder gently, and whispered in her ear: "You're drooling, restrain yourself."
Bai Jinrong was immediately embarrassed. She quickly looked away, glared at her brother, and pushed him coquettishly.
Seeing this, President Bai smiled and broke the awkwardness: "Excuse me for interrupting!"
Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji then noticed that the coffee table was filled with exquisite gift boxes. Mu Xiaoji hurried forward and said, "President Bai, you are the elder. If you have anything to say, please feel free to ask. These are too much trouble for the younger generation."
President Bai said sincerely: "My father's kindness in saving my life is beyond words. This is just a small token of my gratitude. You must accept it."
Jiang Chengyu smiled and replied: "How can we young people understand antiques, jade, and famous paintings? Let's leave it in the hands of you who know the business!"
Bai Jinrong could no longer suppress her naughty nature. Her eyes rolled and the evil taste in her heart surged up.
She walked towards Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji with a smile, and reached out to pick up a long box with an exquisite appearance, which contained a painting.
She said with a smile: "Boss Jiang, let me help you hang it up! I think the restaurant over there is more suitable for the occasion."
After that, he couldn't wait to open the lid of the box and tried to take out the calligraphy and painting. Seeing this, Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji stretched out their big hands at the same time to press the opened lid.
Bai Jinrong looked confident, her eyes sparkling, and her determined look showed a determination to not give up. She dodged the two men's hands and turned flexibly, preparing to walk towards the restaurant.
Jiang Chengyu was quick to grab her shoulders and said seriously, "A treasure can only reflect its value if someone appreciates it. We are just young boys who are still wet behind the ears. What do we know? Let's return it to President Bai!"
Bai Jinrong refused to give in. She held the brocade box in her left hand and swept it towards Jiang Chengyu's face.
Jiang Chengyu took a step back swiftly and snatched the calligraphy and painting. He then used his right hand to lightly push Bai Jinrong's abdomen with his internal energy, and his tone was still polite: "A guest is a guest. Please take a seat, Miss." Bai Jinrong did not expect this move and fell unsteadily on the sofa.
Seeing this, President Bai's face darkened and he scolded, "Rong'er, don't be rude."
Bai Jinrong retorted nonchalantly: "No, such a generous gift is placed here, how can it be rude!"
After saying that, she leaped up and slapped Jiang Chengyu like an agile bird.
Jiang Chengyu dodged sideways, and Bai Jinrong took the opportunity to grab Jiang Chengyu's wrist, used a grappling move, and actually pressed Jiang Chengyu on the coffee table.
She smiled proudly and said, "Boss Jiang, are you convinced?"
Jiang Chengyu smiled helplessly and said modestly: "I admit defeat."
Bai Jinrong winked mischievously and said, "I'll give you a reward." Then she gave Jiang Chengyu a mischievous kiss on the cheek.
Mu Xiaoji's face turned cold in an instant, and a barely perceptible gloom flashed across his eyes.
Jiang Chengyu was embarrassed and speechless at Bai Jinrong's bold move when they met for the first time.
When President Bai saw that Rong'er had left a red lipstick mark on Jiang's fair cheek, he became angry and said, "Rong'er, you are too outrageous!"
Bai Jinrong, however, had a bright smile on her face. After letting go of Jiang Chengyu, she clapped her hands and said, "I have always been free to follow my heart since I was a child. Dad, if you know this, there is nothing to be surprised about."
President Bai saw that Jiang Chengyu intended to give in to Rong'er and find a way out for himself; but Bai Jinrong was so bold that she kissed Jiang Chengyu on the cheek in front of everyone.
This action was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, instantly causing thousands of waves.
Jiang Chengyu only felt a warm sensation on his cheeks. The sudden kiss made him feel a little overwhelmed. He got up in a hurry and walked quickly to the bathroom. His back looked a little embarrassed.
After entering the bathroom, he turned on the water valve and the cold water flowed. He washed his cheeks vigorously, as if he wanted to completely wash away the embarrassment and humiliation.
In the living room, Mu Xiaoji was furious but tried hard not to show it.
He pulled a seemingly gentle smile at the corner of his mouth and said to Bai Jinrong: "Miss Bai is really good at kung fu, and her personality is innocent and straightforward. She is not pretentious, just like the heroine Hua Mulan. I admire her."
Bai Jinrong didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, and still winked mischievously: "Boss Mu, let's have a discussion too, but we'll stop when we're done."
Mu Xiaoji hastily refused, "No, no, no, my martial arts were taught by the little demon beast, and he is already inferior to me. I have been weak and sick since childhood and was born with a disability, so I am definitely not your opponent!"
There was a barely perceptible hint of disgust in his eyes, but he concealed it well.
Jiang Chengyu walked out of the bathroom with an embarrassed look on his face. He smoothed his hair with his hand, and after thinking for a moment, his expression became serious: "President Bai, I have an unwelcome request."
President Bai looked at him, nodded and said, "Mr. Jiang, you don't have to be polite. Just speak frankly."
Jiang Chengyu slowly walked over to Mu Xiaoji and sat down, his eyes revealing a hint of pleading: "Xiaoji and I have no intention of competing for supremacy. I taught him the exercises because he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and the exercises have a certain effect on healing his heart and lungs.
However, the arrest of Feng Yuhang brought us both into trouble and controversy invisibly; our original intention was to establish Renxin Hospital to save lives; however, we did not expect that things in the world are unpredictable.
Today I beg President Bai to help me. I hope to live a leisurely life under the protection of President Bai in the future."
His words were sincere and genuine, with a desire for a peaceful life.
After hearing this, President Bai was moved: "I admire you two for being so low-key and calm.
You two are young yet you are dedicated to benefiting the people. I will fully support your good deeds. If there is a storm in the future, I will clear the snow in front of your door for you two."
"Thank you, President Bai, for your care." Mu Xiaoji and Jiang Chengyu clasped their fists in response.
It was late at night and the moonlight was shining like water on Jinyang Villa. The surroundings were quiet except for the occasional sound of car horns.
Mu Xiaoji still followed his usual routine. After dinner, he returned to his bedroom as usual.
The light in the bedroom was soft. He leaned quietly on the mattress, immersed in the world of books, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
At this time, Jiang Chengyu was busy in the kitchen. He skillfully picked up the milk pan, poured fresh milk into it, and heated it on the stove.
Soon, the aroma of milk filled the whole kitchen. He carefully poured the hot milk into the cup, then cleaned the milk pot meticulously and hung it on the hook on the wall.
After everything was cleaned up, he walked upstairs to the bedroom, holding the cup of steaming milk with a gentle smile on his face.
Entering the bedroom, he walked gently to the bedside and sat down. Looking at Mu Xiaoji who was reading, he said softly, "Xiaoji, I heated up some fresh milk. Here, drink it and go to bed early!"
Mu Xiaoji, however, had a calm expression on his face, as if he had not heard anything. He did not move his eyes away from the book and did not speak a word. He was like a silent iceberg.
Jiang Chengyu was a little confused and asked again: "What's the matter?"
Mu Xiaoji stared at the book intently and said angrily, "You know it yourself."
Jiang Chengyu frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized: "You are, you are angry with Bai Jinrong?"
He was a little bit unbelievable. A day had already passed, but he didn't expect that Mu Xiaoji was still brooding over this matter.
Mu Xiaoji snorted unhappily: "I can't believe you're enjoying it, right?"
Jiang Chengyu waved his hands and explained: "I didn't, please don't say anything. She is so bold, and it's the first time we met. How could I know that she is so bold as a girl? So what do you want me to do now?"
Mu Xiaoji said with disgust: "Cut it off."
Jiang Chengyu was stunned at first, then he stood up without hesitation, walked to the coffee table, reached out to pick up a fruit knife from the fruit bowl, and pretended to cut the place on his cheek where he had kissed.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoji was shocked and angry. He took a book and threw it at Jiang Chengyu, hitting him on the arm. The fruit knife in Jiang Chengyu's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Mu Xiaoji shouted: "Little monster, you are stupid!"
Jiang Chengyu looked aggrieved: "What else? Isn't this the reason why you can't sleep?"
Mu Xiaoji held his forehead helplessly and sighed: "I surrender to you, okay! Come over here and sleep! Ha, you are such a stupid dog."
He muttered as he moved closer to the bed. Although there was helplessness in his eyes, there was more doting on Jiang Chengyu.
Jiang Chengyu then came over innocently, scratched his head embarrassedly, walked over and lay down beside Mu Xiaoji, and pinched Mu Xiaoji's waist in a naughty way.
Mu Xiaoji flicked a finger on Jiang Chengyu's forehead and said jokingly, "Cute silly dog, haha!"
Jiang Chengyu stretched out his slender arms and Mu Xiaoji rested his head on his arms. A happy, sweet warmth lingered in the room. The bedroom returned to silence, with only the sound of their even breathing.
