The content was simple, just asking where she was.
Wen Tingxue was startled by Que You's words, and remembered the scene of Mu Chen hanging up the phone that night.
She always felt that the relationship between the father and son was not right.
After hesitating for a moment, she didn't reply.
"Why?"
She endured it, but couldn't help it.
She found that they had many secrets.
There was a chance she might step on a landmine.
Que You lifted his chin, his voice full of experience, and asked:
"When the surnamed Mu added you on WeChat, was he pretending to be doing it for your own good?"
Wen Tingxue nodded.
Uncle Mu said he knew Shang Ziqian's boss and could help her in times of crisis.
The key point was that he was her father's superior. If he wanted to add her, she had no reason to refuse.
Que You scoffed, "An old trick. Trust me, when you have something to look for him for, he'll most likely ignore you.
"He wants your contact information, nothing more than to know about A Chen from your mouth."
Mu Chen's father was a typical capitalist, valuing profit the most.
He never paid much attention to people who were of no benefit to him.
"Ah?" The little girl was almost incomprehensible. "But when we added each other on WeChat, I didn't even know him..."
She had met Mu Chen by chance.
Did Uncle Mu have the ability to predict the future?
Que You smiled, "Think carefully, before the surnamed Mu contacted you, did something happen, for example, your Yu ge fought for you."
At his reminder, Wen Tingxue remembered.
Indeed, the day she first met Uncle Mu was right after Yu Wenli finished his self-criticism.
Que You said, "Your relationship with Yu ge, or rather, Yu ge's concern for you, means you'll meet A Chen sooner or later.
"And, with your feelings for Yu ge, it's simply effortless to find out A Chen's whereabouts from your mouth.
"The premise is that you are willing to serve him."
Que You's lips curled into a dangerous smile.
Wen Tingxue quickly stated, "I won't! I won't betray Yu ge's brother!"
Besides, Uncle Mu was calculating, yet he didn't want to have a good relationship with his son.
Thinking about it made her shudder, especially...
Wen Tingxue glanced at the time. She had only been here for a short while, and Uncle Mu had already received the news and contacted her.
He hadn't sent any messages for so many days...
If Que You hadn't been there to tell her these things, she might have fallen into the trap he had set!
Wen Tingxue pouted angrily.
As expected, city life was full of schemes; she had never met such a scheming person in Lucheng before!
Que You poured himself another glass of wine and clinked it with hers.
"Brother believes you."
After the little girl had a drink of juice, Que You said, "Just reply briefly, after all, he's your father's boss, it's not appropriate to ignore him."
"Oh."
Wen Tingxue lowered her head to reply to the message, trying to avoid the main points.
Mr. Mu found that he couldn't get any information, so he ended the chat.
The little girl proudly tilted her chin, "First battle won."
Que You burst into laughter.
The little one was quite endearing.
"Que You ge."
Wen Tingxue seized the opportunity to lean closer to him and whispered, "What exactly is going on between Mu Chen ge and Uncle Mu?"
That night, Mu Chen hung up the phone very decisively, almost without hesitation.
If it weren't for the caller ID, she would have thought it was a promotional call.
Que You tilted his head, seeming to hesitate, then pursed his lips and said:
"Little sister, not everyone can have good parents, so...
"Whether it's A Rui, or A Chen, or Jiahe, don't talk too much about their parents."
"Oh..."
Wen Tingxue nodded as if she understood, but also as if she didn't.
Que You explained simply, "A Chen has never been close to his parents since he was a child. After the cat incident, he moved out of the Mu family directly.
"Otherwise, the surnamed Mu wouldn't have been looking for informants so desperately."
"Cats? Stray cats?"
"Yes, stray cats," Que You said, "A Chen liked cats, but the surnamed Mu didn't allow him to keep them.
"He thought keeping cats was a waste of time and distracted from important things, so A Chen's several cats were given away by him.
"But A Chen was young then, and his living expenses were all from his parents. He had no capital to make a fuss.
"Later, when A Chen could earn his own money, he rented a small courtyard specifically to raise stray cats.
"Somehow the surnamed Mu found out and rushed over overnight, forcing A Chen to let go of those cats.
"A Chen refused, so he brutally killed A Chen's favorite cat in front of him."
Brutally killed?
Wen Tingxue froze, her eyes wide open.
As if she had heard something incredible.
Que You shrugged as if it were normal, "The surnamed Mu is like that. In his world, anything unrelated to making money is a waste of time and distracts from important things.
"A Chen plays bass, and he didn't agree at first. Only after seeing that the lead singer was Yu ge and the drummer was A Rui did he immediately agree.
"It's just because he covets the influence of the Yu and Chi families. Hypocritical."
Que You rolled his eyes in disgust.
Wen Tingxue turned to look at the four dazzling figures on the stage.
At first, her attention was all on Yu Wenli, and she hadn't noticed the other three.
Mainly, Xing Jiahe and Mu Chen were both wearing hats, and it was difficult to recognize them without a careful look.
As for Chi Zerui, he was sitting and in the back. If it weren't for his striking appearance, she wouldn't have noticed him.
It was hard to imagine that these four highly sought-after young men all had their own pain behind them.
Yu Wenli...
Wen Tingxue replayed Que You's words and suddenly realized that his life was not as good as she had imagined.
No matter how many titles he had, it couldn't erase his dark younger years.
If he hadn't met Shang Ziqian, his life should have been full of glory and sunshine.
But alas...
Wen Tingxue thought of the scar on his forehead, and the obscure books in his study.
She didn't know how many fights he had gotten into from childhood to adolescence, nor did she know if he had been willing.
She only knew that from the ages of nine to twelve, which should have been the most active years for boys, he had shut himself in his small study for more than two years.
Actually... it couldn't all be blamed on Shang Ziqian.
Wen Tingxue sighed.
If it weren't for the gossip, they would both have had better futures.
After all, even Que You said that Shang Ziqian was talented in both studies and music.
As long as he wanted to, he could easily achieve first place in his grade and become a piano god.
Unfortunately, fate played tricks on them.
The most infuriating thing was that the people who spread rumors were fine, while the two who were forced into comparison suffered so many hardships.
It was really unfair!
As she thought this, the suspended stage suddenly began to descend.
The cheers from the audience were even more frenzied than before, and she could even hear the neatly chanted "Yu Wenli, I love you" confessions.
Wen Tingxue: "..."
So many love rivals.
As the stage lowered to the adjacent sound control console, Yu Wenli took off his guitar and hurried towards this side.
As if rushing to someone very important.
