Chapter 101

  Just back to the hospital's villa, the phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, my heart slightly paused, and I quickly pressed the answer button, putting the phone to my ear with a clear gaze.

  "Have you rested?" On the other end of the phone, with a strong sense of fatigue, just his voice was enough to make Su Mo Ruo feel that he must be rubbing his temples, his face full of exhaustion.

  "Are you so tired?" She also knew that being an official was tiring, let alone a man with ambition and exceptional abilities.

  "Mm." With a nasal tone, after a while, he said: "I miss you..."

  "...It seems that being with Tan Yunning has never made him express his emotions so directly, and Su Mo Ruo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard it."

  The voice on the other end stopped, and Tan Yun Ning also understood Su Mo Ruo's temper. A soft and elegant laugh came through the phone into Su Mo Ruo's ears, "Ruo Ruo, do you miss me?"

  “……”

  “……”

  Both of them fell into silence, and for Sumo Luo, sweet words couldn't be spoken.

  As for Tan Yunning, he can say a sentence, but no one will follow up with the next sentence, so it's all in vain.

  "Next month I'll be transferred to Beijing..." Tan Yun Ning's voice was light and gentle, although he was being promoted, it didn't seem like a particularly exciting thing for him. He only told Su Mo Ruo so that she could understand his recent situation.

  "Congratulations." When he first entered politics, he had hoped to rise rapidly through the ranks. Now, it seemed that his wish had finally come true, and he couldn't help but feel happy for him.

  "Stupid girl...... I miss you." When he was exhausted, the person he most wanted to see was Su Mo Ruo. This girl had given him countless warmth, and no matter how tired he was, as long as he thought of her, her voice and appearance could give him strength, allowing him to support himself and do a good job.

  "I'm in Hong Kong, I'll go to Beijing in September." Also mentioned the school arrangements for her to Tan Yuning, they haven't seen each other for a long time, and truly, there's some nostalgia in my heart.

  "Are you in Hong Kong?" The voice on the other end of the phone rose noticeably, sounding astonished, but immediately turned into thick excitement.

  Listening to that inexplicable surprised voice, Su Mo Rou slightly frowned, "What's wrong?" Could it be that he is also in Hong Kong? She thought so in her heart, but she never expected that she was actually misled.

  "Where are you in Hong Kong?" The tired tone on the other end of the phone was dispelled a lot at this moment, and obvious joy occupied more, with less fatigue.

  Upon hearing this, Su Mo also began to suspect, "Are you in Hong Kong too?"

  "Yes, the organization recently went to Hong Kong for an inspection, and Secretary Li asked me to come along too. Later, going to Beijing will definitely be very busy, but this inspection trip has no drawbacks for me." Tan Yunning's tone also became especially gentle when talking about Li Xin.

  Originally in Hong Kong for inspection, thinking that she would have to stay in Hong Kong for nearly two months, unexpectedly met Tan Yuning again on this side, and a joyful expression gradually appeared on her face.

  "Where are you now?" Tan Yunning's voice was also trembling with excitement.

  "I'm at Mary's Hospital." From his words, Tan Yun Ning seemed to be planning to come over and find her, so he directly reported where he was.

  On the other end of the phone, Tan Yunning's surprised voice immediately rang out, filled with concern, "How did you end up in the hospital? Is something wrong?"

  Tan Yunning, this person, saying he is cold and aloof, that can only be towards people who are not close to him. Those who truly know him will find that he is actually very caring, considerate and concerned, more so than when he himself falls ill, he would still worry about whether others are doing well.

  "I'm fine, it's just that one of my grandmothers is ill and I need to accompany her." Although she still hadn't explicitly stated their relationship with Tan Yun Ning, they both already understood each other in their hearts. As for Tan Yun Ning, she also truly believed he was suitable, this man could spend a lifetime with her. So seeing Mu Xinhua again wasn't a problem either, and it just so happened that he was currently in Hong Kong too.

  "...can I go see you...and your grandma too?" The hesitant voice was filled with a hint of expectation.

  Listening to this, Su Mo'er pursed her lips and the corners of her mouth curved up in a pleased smile, "My grandmother is resting at this time..."

  "I know, I mean, tomorrow I'll come over and see her, and you too, okay?" Su Mo said this, Tan Yun Ning had a kind of awkwardness, but quickly adjusted his emotions and tone.

  "...Alright." It was as if an entire century had passed before Su Mo finally spoke up, agreeing to let Tan Yunning go to Mary Hospital to see Mu Xinhua.

  Finally, she simply lay in bed and told Tan Yunning some words to take care of himself before hanging up the phone. Since Tan Yunning said that he would go out for inspection with the team tomorrow afternoon, they agreed to meet at Mary's Hospital tonight. She also planned to cook a table of dishes for him and his grandmother Mu Xinhua in person.

  On the second day, Sumo woke up early and made breakfast for Muxinhua as usual. After Huichen arrived, they went to the study without disturbing Muxinhua. Although some handover work needed to be explained by Muxinhua, at least for now, Huichen was capable of taking over from Sumo. The whole morning passed in the study.

  When he came out at noon, Huiqin had already prepared a meal. Looking at the full table of food, Sumo still didn't have much appetite.

  The Mu Group, although it looks magnificent at first glance, is actually a huge burden to manage. With countless big and small matters to attend to every day, over a hundred documents to process daily, numerous development projects and planning cases, and meetings of all sizes, it's likely that at least 15 hours of the day are occupied, leaving little time for anything else.

  It seems that she won't be able to relax for a long time, at least during this initial period, all big and small matters must be handled by herself. She has never been at the bottom of the Mu Corporation, so she doesn't understand many things. Therefore, it is necessary to work hard at first, but after getting familiar with everything, later tasks can be handed over to Huiqin and other trusted people for processing.

  Sitting at the table, looking at today's not bad dishes, if it were in the past, Su Mo Ruo would definitely have a good appetite. However, today, after staying in the study for half a day and reading too many things, she felt a bit dizzy and her eyes were blurry.

  Looking at the full table of dishes, she didn't have much appetite either.

  Looking at Su Mo's appearance, Mu Xinhua also felt some heartache and comforted her: "There are too many things in the Mu family, you don't have to take over everything so hastily, come on slowly, if you don't understand, ask me or Huiqin, if you really can't handle it, let Huiqin help you with it."

  Huī qín is already at this age, but there isn't a man by her side. According to Sū Mò Ruò's idea, she should be given some time and freedom, let her go out and get in touch with men, who knows, maybe in her later years, she can still find a man who can bring happiness to the second half of her life.

  "Aunt Hui has a lot on her plate, I'll take it over slowly." With a smile, she glanced at Huiqin who had served the rice and sat down, saying, "Actually, Aunt Hui can find an old partner now."

  It never occurred to her that the normally icy Su Mo Ruo would say something like this, and Hui Qin's face suddenly turned bright red, but she didn't say a word, only picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

  "Don't tease your Aunt Hui." Mu Xinhua looked at Huiqin with her head down, and she let out a deep sigh in her heart. She had followed her all the way here, and she was very clear about her past, just like herself, having gone through similar experiences. Huiqin also had a boyfriend back then, but he went to join the army during the war, and there had been no news from him for many years. No news meant that person was gone, but Huiqin never wanted to believe it. She took care of her boyfriend's parents until they passed away, and now she was alone, waiting single-mindedly for his return.

  But people from their generation all know that it's normal for wars to end.

  Sumo Ruo also sensed He Qín's unease, and after glancing at Mù Xīn Huá, she too fell silent. She had a faint feeling that she might have said something wrong, stirring up He Qín's painful memories.

  In the afternoon, Su Mo Ruo told Hui Qin that a friend was coming over, so she wouldn't deal with work anymore and would go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables for dinner tonight.

  Huiqin is also a veteran, although she didn't end up marrying her boyfriend in the end, but she still kept that love in her heart, smiling at Su Moruo, "Is it your boyfriend?"

  Originally, Su Mo Ruo had a feeling with Tan Yun Ning, but the relationship was not confirmed yet. Su Mo Ruo's face turned slightly awkward, and he immediately stopped speaking, stepping out of the villa directly.

  "Huiqin, this young man's business, we old folks shouldn't interfere." After Suomoruo left, Muxinhua appeared at the villa gate, looking at Huiqin who was standing in a daze, and said with a bright tone.

  Looking up at Mu Xinhua, who had been recovering well over the past few days, he also smiled and said, "Yes, we're all old now. Let young people fight for their own things, don't think about us, and leave regrets for a lifetime."

  "Are you still thinking about that person?" Although Huiqin was much younger than herself, the two had lived together for a long time, and Muxinhua had already regarded Huiqin as her own little sister. She had always been concerned about Huiqin.

  "Hehe, it's all in the past..." After saying that, she didn't mention those things again. Su Mo Ruo didn't drive, but instead took a taxi from the hospital to the nearest vegetable market. Since this was a private high-end hospital where wealthy people stayed, the vegetable market was also quite far away. Su Mo Ruo directly hailed a cab and asked the driver to head towards the city center's vegetable market. Anyway, Tan Yun Ning was staying at the Berlin International Hotel in the city center, so it would be convenient to pick him up on the way back to the hospital.

  The driver also seemed to have figured out that Sumo was not a local, and ruthlessly cut the fare from 60 yuan to 202 yuan by the time they arrived at their destination.

  She got off the bus and was about to leave without even looking back.

  The driver was also stunned, thinking that he had gone to great trouble to take this little girl on a big detour, and it would be a waste if nothing came of it.

  "Little girl, you haven't paid yet." The driver seemed to feel a bit guilty too, but he also knew that things had already been done and couldn't be undone. He looked at Su Mo with a somewhat embarrassed expression, while the other's eyes, which seemed to have been soaked in icy water, made him dare not meet her gaze. Those eyes made him feel a chill run down his spine just by looking at them once, causing all the hairs on his body to stand on end.

  She took a glance around and found that people had already started pointing at her, even hearing some voices calling her "mainland girl" or "country bumpkin".

  He slowly turned his gaze back, looking at the taxi driver standing in front of him, "You said, if I tell these people about you taking me on a detour, or report this... what would be the consequences?"

  The driver seemed to be a person who couldn't bear stimulation either, and when stimulated, his temper came up. He twisted his face and said coldly to Su Mo Ruo: "What are you capable of telling me? There's only you and me in the car, can't you testify for yourself?"

  The people around did not hear what the driver said, but only saw her say something to this mainland girl who got off the bus without paying at close range.

  Upon hearing this, Su Mo felt a bit surprised. She had always known that Hong Kong looked down on mainlanders, but to be openly bullied like this was something she experienced for the first time herself.
