Chapter 190 The Little Mute is on Strike (10)
In fact, Shu's father had gradually forgotten the past. The two of them accidentally met each other's eyes. Looking at Mu Lai's careless gaze, after many years, Shu's father once again remembered those gloomy and hateful eyes, as well as some very complicated emotions that he could not understand.
Mr. Shu thought to himself that perhaps he shouldn't have sent the invitation.
He even suspected that this person was responsible for the problems in their company.
There's no way, that look is really unforgettable.
It was like being stared at by a giant python, giving him the illusion that he was the prey.
When Mu Lai appeared in the hall, the banquet had already started for more than half an hour.
When he came, he looked around as if he was looking for someone.
Later he declined the invitation and sat alone on the sofa nearby.
Behind him, people kept coming one after another, but they never got too close to him.
Because Mu Lai doesn't like it.
He didn't have this problem at first, but after his parents passed away that year, he went out to work alone, doing all kinds of menial jobs, such as collecting debts, chopping people's hands and feet, joining gangs, and going into business, etc.
The work done before was all dirty and shady.
Later, he hated people very much.
When Mu Lai received this invitation, there were many other invitations, all inviting him to visit others. Mu Lai had them treated as garbage. Somehow, this one fell to the ground, or maybe it was dropped and not seen.
When the aunt came to clean the house that day, he was sitting there, so she didn't go over to clean. Later, Mu Lai accidentally saw it, but he didn't take it seriously until he saw the name on it -
Shu Fanli.
The name of the little mute.
He came later.
Even if the possibility is very small.
You know, he has been restraining himself in the past few years and was unwilling to look for news about the little mute.
If it really is her.
That means it fell into his hands.
When his parents passed away that year, everyone in the village came to help. Mu Lai kowtowed to the elders and villagers of Xiaohe Village to thank them for helping take care of his parents' funeral.
Mu Lai knelt in the mourning hall, silent.
Mu Lai stood up only after everyone had dispersed late at night.
I knelt for too long and my legs were numb. When I stood up, I fell back to the ground.
He laughed.
Smiling is uglier than crying.
He didn't even have the chance to see them for the last time before they left him and went west.
Then I thought of the little mute again.
They said that his parents came and scolded him, and maybe even got into a fight. Later, the little mute passed away, and both his parents were gone.
Mu Lai started crying while laughing.
This was the first time he could remember crying.
His admission quota was taken away that year, and the school teacher did not dare to stand up for him. Instead, he turned the tables and made him drop out of school. Later, when his father got into trouble, Mu Lai took on the burden of the Mu family.
He was barely an adult at the time, but he didn't even blink, let alone cry.
but now.
The three people most important to him left him at once.
The parents of the little mute are most likely the murderers of his parents.
Faced with such an absurd result, Mu Lai really couldn't accept it.
He really wants to be a little mute...
Fortunately, she is still alive.
But he also resented...
Or, don't let him see the little mute again...
But things are never as we wish.
Mu Lai still met Shu Fanli.
Even though he hadn't been looking for it deliberately.
He didn't know how to face this person who was most likely to have killed his parents.
Looking at her smiling face like a flower, she looks so beautiful.
Just want to be destroyed.
Then, drag her into hell.
Let her stay with him forever.
Little mute, don't blame him for being cruel.
......
Mu Lai looked at the little princess who had appeared in the middle of the banquet hall like a moon surrounded by stars.
His eyes never left.
It's really her!
Shu Fanli was wearing a white long dress with layers and clear levels, dotted with pearls, which were very valuable. She wore a pearl necklace on her white neck and matching pearl earrings on her earlobes. Her long hair was tied up and she wore a small crown on her head. Her skin was as white and translucent as white jade, and her eyes were clear and clean, which was very moving.
A little princess indeed.
As for now.
In this era, the Shu family was indeed in the right place, as everything was developing rapidly, especially electronic products, and the Shu family company happened to specialize in electronic products.
The crisis has certainly not passed, it’s just that some people just can’t stand others doing better than they already are and want to drag them down with them.
If Li Shan's success was partly the reason for her rebirth, the majority of it was due to herself; then Mu Lai's success was inevitable. The things he had experienced, the people and events he had met were much more than what Li Shan had experienced in her two lifetimes combined.
He thought very quickly, otherwise he would not have been able to get into the capital university on his own from a remote mountain village, although his place was replaced.
Later, Mu Lai personally exposed the matter. Of course, it was not just this matter, but more about this person accepting bribes. Once those things came out, in an era when the Internet began to develop rapidly, the resignation of that senior official was inevitable.
Later, someone related to Mu Lai took that position.
He is not a good person, he just was powerless at the beginning. Now, as soon as he got the chance, he paid a hundred times the price.
Mu Lai had no interest in being stepped on by others, nor did he have the slightest interest in stepping on others.
As the days passed, he wanted to find Shu Fanli, but at the same time he didn't want to find her.
until today.
He met Shu Fanli, his little mute.
She stood in the crowd, like the moon surrounded by stars. The smile on her face was familiar to him, and so was her fair and pretty little face.
Someone nearby saw Mu Lai staring at Shu Fanli and said, "This is Mr. Shu's darling. It is said that she was lost a few years ago and was not found until more than half a year later. She has been hiding at home for fear that something bad might happen to her again."
Another person, perhaps seeing that Mu Lai was listening and thinking that he was interested, said in a smart way: "Yes, this is the first time she has officially appeared in front of everyone. If there hadn't been problems with the company, she probably wouldn't have been allowed to show up. She's so pure and beautiful..."
The rest of the words stopped under the man's sharp gaze, "Shut up."
The man had a blank expression on his face, and the scar at the corner of his eye looked even more frightening. The man was a little frightened, thinking that he shouldn't have said that.
He smiled in a flattering way, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, I said the wrong thing."
Mu Lai is actually still very young, but he is called by many names, including Mr. Mu, President Mu, Young Master Mu, and Brother Mu. However, the people calling him that are different.
Mu Lai's gaze stayed on this person for two seconds, then he turned to look at the people in the crowd.
When he turned around, Shu Fanli had just left.
Mu Lai saw this and controlled the urge to get up and go to Shu Fanli. He reached out and took a glass of wine from the tray in the bent waiter's hand and took a sip to ease his inner emotions.
His eyes followed Shu Fanli's back until she completely disappeared from his sight.
The hand holding the wine glass gradually tightened until someone spoke.
"Today is Miss Shu's birthday. I wonder if she will like the necklace I gave her."
"What's wrong? I like it."
"Ms. Shu is really pretty."
"What's the point of being pretty? I heard she's mute."
The last sentence was said in a low voice.
Mu Lai didn't hear what was said afterwards.
He doesn't care about these people.
Mu Lai finally stood up, and the people around him followed his gaze.
Some of the bolder ones asked: "Mr. Mu, are you leaving now? This is my business card. My company is related to materials. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to have a meal with Mr. Mu..."
The person at the side was secretly annoyed that he was not the first to step forward and hand out his business card, but Mr. Mu actually accepted it. Then he was glad that he did not step forward.
Because Mu Lai threw the business card that this person handed over directly to the ground.
Then he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands.
Every action of his showed that he hated dirt.
The man's smile froze on his face, and he felt like he was slapped in public.
But he dared not say anything and just watched them leave with a smile.
After the others left, he looked at the mocking eyes of his business rivals, pouted, and muttered something.
Anyway, it's not a good thing.
Mu Lai turned and went to the corner of the bathroom on the side. He had to pass through here whenever he went in or out.
Shu Fanli was not going to the toilet, but there were too many people in the hall and she felt a little uncomfortable. She originally wanted to go to the back garden, but her brain short-circuited and she went to the bathroom.
Shu's parents protected her very well, and Shu Fanli was rarely exposed to the complicated world outside, so scenes like this were even rarer.
Mu Lai saw that the person was walking towards this side, so he followed.
He didn't know why he followed or what he was going to say.
As Shu Fanli came out and turned the corner, she saw a person.
She was stunned for a moment, but didn't think much about it, just thinking that they were guests attending the banquet.
He was half leaning against the wall, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his posture was very lazy and relaxed, so relaxed that people would think he was the host. The man was tall and straight, with a cold and handsome face, and the scar at the corner of his eye added a bit of fierce murderousness. The aura around him made Shu Fanli stop and she didn't dare to go to him.
Especially when his eyes were fixed on Shu Fanli.
Shu Fanli felt like she was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
But this turning point is the only way out. After hesitating for a few seconds, Shu Fanli finally moved.
She walked forward with her head down, her pace quickening.
Mu Lai was leaning against the wall with a cigarette between his lips. When he saw Shu Fanli, the smile on his face seemed to be decorated with ice and snow, revealing a bone-chilling chill.
"Shu Fanli, Miss Shu, right?"
Shu Fanli originally wanted to leave quickly, but the man's sharp eyes, filled with sarcasm and coldness, made her uncomfortable.
But for some reason, she felt that this person was somewhat familiar.
Hearing the voice, Shu Fanli had to stop, smile at the person and say hello.
When she raised her foot to leave, Shu Fanli could still feel the deep gaze behind her.
She reached out and touched her arm, only to feel a little cold.
Between going back to her room and following the path to the back garden, Shu Fanli chose the latter.
If I go back to the room, I can't avoid meeting those people at the party.
She doesn't like places with too many people.
This would make her a little scared and timid.
Shu Fanli is not a cheerful person. Her congenital defect prevents her from talking to others normally. Over the years, she can still remember the strange looks from others.
There are curious, inquiring, sympathetic, disgusted, abhorrent...all kinds of looks.
Because she couldn't speak, she would just cry when she was bullied at school. Knowing that she couldn't speak or complain, those people bullied her even more happily. They also didn't allow her to tell her parents, otherwise, they would ask her family to suppress their company. If she complained to the teacher, the teacher would be made to disappear from the school.
Such a young child said such scary things and did such vicious things.
But Shu Fanli was so scared. She didn’t want to go to school, didn’t want to talk to others, and didn’t dare tell her parents or teachers.
There was a period of time when I was completely isolated.
Finally, it was discovered by Shu's mother when she touched Shu Fanli one day.
Shu Fanli was fair-skinned and very afraid of pain. When her mother accidentally touched the wound on her arm, Shu Fanli started crying. Her mother felt a little strange and tried to coax her. Later, when she saw Shu Fanli crying and hiding behind her, she thought something was wrong and rolled up her sleeves. As a result, she saw the bruise on Shu Fanli's arm, which was very conspicuous and scary on her delicate and fair arm. Her mother widened her eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
After being stunned for two seconds, she went on to check if Shu Fanli had any other injuries.
It turns out there was more than one.
Shu's mother's tears suddenly flowed out.
They all thought that A'li was doing well in school. The teacher also said that she was very well behaved and sensible. They were a little proud of her at that time. But now they suddenly think that there might be something wrong with such a young child being so obedient and sensible.
Moreover, before going to school, Shu Fanli would always smile and ask for hugs every day. But after that, she rarely even smiled, let alone reaching out for hugs.
At that time, they were busy with work and social activities every day and had very little time for Shu Fanli.
There was also a nanny taking care of Shu Fanli at home, but the nanny saw the injuries on Shu Fanli's body and not only did she not say anything, she sometimes even beat Shu Fanli when she cried. After that, Shu Fanli didn't even dare to cry.
Shu's mother was very upset at that time.
As a mother, how could she not feel heartbroken when her beloved child was bullied at school?
After Shu's mother coaxed Shu Fanli, she immediately took action. She first told Shu's father, and then contacted the school's teachers and principal. The principal was afraid of offending the parents of other children, so he played the matter over and said it was just the children playing. Of course, Shu's father and mother couldn't just let it go.
Their company makes electronic products, so they posted on the Internet about the malpractices in the school and how the kids took advantage of their family's jobs to bully their classmates. They also reported the case to the Education Bureau and attached evidence.
Later, the matter became a big deal. The homes of the children who had bullied Shu Fanli were all investigated, and almost none of them were spared. The principal was dismissed and investigated.
But Shu Fanli didn't want to go to school anymore. After this happened, Shu's father and mother didn't dare to send their precious daughter to school.
She can't speak, and won't complain even when she's being bullied.
