The time of the city

Chapter 110 Summation

The next day, there were two hot searches in the news, one about Lin Xiao and the other about Xiao Hecheng.

As expected, Lin Xiao’s sleeping video was posted online, and since she was Qiao Feng’s ex-girlfriend, she immediately became the second most searched topic.

There are both good and bad comments in the comments section. Some say that the daughter of a wealthy family is very cute because she has no airs at all and can even sleep on the street.

Some people raised the issue of upbringing, saying that she occupied public areas and that Qiao Feng dumped her because she didn't pay attention to her image. Then some netizens dug out that Lin Xiao failed an exam.

This incident even affected the Qiao family. When Qiao Zhengrong saw the news, he slammed the table in anger. "This is such a shameless thing! If I didn't need something from the Lin family, would I have let my A Feng marry this girl?"

"Godfather, now that Ah Feng has announced that he and Lin Xiao have broken up, what opportunity do we have to inquire about that thing?"

Qiao Zhengrong tapped his fingers on the table. "Lin Yuan wants my Qiao Corporation's investment and he won't give up on letting Lin Xiao marry Ah Feng. We need to be patient this time. Ah Feng is very close to that friend of his, so you know what to do. And we need to remove all the videos of Lin Xiao from the internet."

Wu Kang immediately understood, nodded and left the study.

Qiao Zhengrong watched the video again and frowned even deeper. "By the time I find something, you will be useless."

The mayor of City A's post praising Xiao Hecheng on Weibo became the top trending topic. He urged young people to learn from him, to strive for self-improvement even in adversity, and to never give up on their dreams.

The city's media also rushed to report on Xiao Hecheng and his other paintings. His name became known throughout the city, and he was praised as a talented painter and a rising star.

After class, Mo Yu took out her phone and saw these two trending searches. She turned around to look at Lin Xiao, who was playing games enthusiastically and didn't know that she was on the headlines, but it was okay that way.

"Xiaoyu, wait for me for a few minutes, I will be done soon. Come to my house for dinner today, Qiaomu will cook a big meal."

"Okay, take your time and I'll pack up first."

Just after she finished packing, her phone rang. It was Shang Xue calling. Mo Yu picked up the phone and said, "Mom, I was going to video call you tonight."

"Xiaoyu, are you busy with your studies? You haven't been back to the old house for a few weeks. Come back today. I'll ask Amu to pick you up. When you come back, we can have a good meal together as a family."

"Mom, I can take a taxi myself, no need to trouble brother."

"My brother is here to cause trouble. I've already called him and he should be here soon." He said and hung up the phone without waiting for Mo Yu to speak.

"Xiaoxiao, I can't go to your house. My brother is here to pick me up. I want to go back to the old house. Let's go together. Let my brother take you home."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm a little scared of Brother Jiamu. I can take a taxi by myself. You can go first and don't have to wait for me."

Mo Yu wanted to persuade Lin Xiao again. She really didn't want to face Ni Jiamu alone, but Lin Xiao started a new game, so she had to pick up her bag and slowly leave the classroom.

As soon as she left the school gate, she saw Ni Jiamu's car parked on the side of the road. He was leaning back in his seat, resting with his eyes closed. Thinking that he must have been waiting for a long time, Mo Yu quickened her pace and walked to the car.

Mo Yu was afraid that opening the car door suddenly would scare him, so she knocked gently on the car window. Hearing the sound, Ni Jiamu opened his eyes. It was the person he had been thinking about day and night, but he didn't show any expression, just opened the car door for her.

"Brother" greeted Mo Yu and she got into the passenger seat. But Ni Jiamu didn't start the car. Mo Yu turned to look at him, puzzled, only to see his head slowly leaning over, his body still smelling faintly of laundry detergent.

What was she going to do? Mo Yu was extremely nervous. In the end, she saw him pull up the seat belt and fasten it. Oh, it turned out that she was not wearing a seat belt.

"Thank you." Mo Yu said to him in a very low voice.

But he still heard it, "It's okay." Then he started the car and drove towards the old house.

Mo Yu stole a glance at him. Ni Jiamu had lost a lot of weight since they last saw him, his jawline more pronounced than before. Dark circles were clearly visible under his eyes, and he looked incredibly tired.

Mo Yu couldn't help but feel distressed. He was only 8 years older than her and less than 29 years old, but he had to face the company's heavy workload every day, staying up late every day and shouldering heavy responsibilities.

When they arrived at Ni's house, Shang Xue heard the whistle and ran out with a shawl on. Mo Yu got out of the car and they gave each other a big hug.

"You bad boy, you didn't go home even though you were not far away. Amu said you have a lot of homework to do, but you still have to go home."

Mo Yu nodded repeatedly, admitting her mistake with a very good attitude, "Mom, I was wrong. I will go home every week from now on."

"That's right." He said, and affectionately took Mo Yu's arm and walked into the house, with Ni Jiamu following closely behind.

In the room, Ni Yuantang was leaning on the sofa reading a newspaper, with a cup of fine Tieguanyin tea brewing on the table. Since Ni Jiamu returned to China, he had handed over all the company's matters, big and small, to Ni Jiamu, and he had much more free time.

"Dad, I'm back."

"Hey, Xiaoyu, how come you've lost weight in a few weeks? You need to eat well and not follow other girls and try to lose weight. My Xiaoyu is already pretty enough."

"I know dad."

"Auntie Wang, please bring out the dishes. It's time to eat."

At the dinner table, Shang Xue kept picking up food for Ni Jiamu and Mo Yu, muttering to herself.

"Amu, I'm telling you to take care of your health no matter how busy you are at work. And don't get drunk every day. That's not good. Your dad and I are old and have to take care of you."

"I know mom."

Mo Yu looked up at Ni Jiamu, and when she saw him looking at her, she immediately lowered her head, and in an instant, several more pieces of pork ribs appeared in her bowl.

"Xiao Yu, you are too thin. When you go out, I think my Ni family can't afford to eat. Everyone is as thin as a monkey."

"Mom, I don't eat fatty meat." Mo Yu looked at the pork belly that Shang Xue had just put into the bowl.

"Mom didn't see it was fat meat. If you don't want to eat it, give it to your brother."

In the past, Mo Yu would have given it to Ni Jiamu long ago, but in this situation, Mo Yu thought about it and decided to eat it anyway. At most, she would just drink a few more sips of water.

As soon as I picked up the pork belly, Ni Jiamu pushed the bowl towards me and said, "Give it to me."

"Okay." Mo Yu put the meat into his bowl and lowered her head to eat in silence.

"Jiamu, Xiao Hecheng, who is signed by your gallery, is indeed a talent and can be well trained."

"Okay dad, he is indeed very talented in drawing."

After listening, Shang Xue said, "My Xiaoyu's paintings are also good. Amu will also hold an art exhibition for Xiaoyu in the future. Do you hear me?"

"Mom, I can't do it."

"Who says you can't? Mom thinks Xiaoyu draws the best."

After dinner, Mo Yu saw that Wang Ma was having a hard time clearing the dishes by herself, so she went to help pick up the bowls. Unexpectedly, Ni Jiamu also wanted to do the same. The two of them were holding the same bowl, and the scene was very awkward for a while.

Ni Jiamu spoke first, "Let me do it, you go and rest."

"Let me do it." Mo Yu wanted to pull the bowl out of Ni Jiamu's hand, but she used too much force and her elbow knocked over several plates on the table. The porcelain plates fell to the ground with a crisp sound and then broke into pieces.

"It's okay, I'll clean it up." Ni Jiamu was so anxious that he picked up the fragments with his hands.

"Hiss" His hand was cut and blood was flowing out.

"I'm sorry, I should have come here. I'll bandage your wound." Mo Yu's eyes were filled with tears.

When Wang Ma heard the noise, she walked out of the kitchen and saw Ni Jiamu squatting on the ground with a bleeding finger and Mo Yu standing there with bloodshot eyes. She had sensed something was wrong the moment they entered, but she was just an employee, so she couldn't say anything.

"Xiaoyu Jiamu, this is my job. You don't need to help me. Xiaoyu, quickly take Jiamu to bandage his wound."

"Okay, brother, go sit in the living room first. I'll go get the medicine box."

"it is good."

Mo Yu quickly found gauze and disinfectant, squatted in front of Ni Jiamu, gently picked up his hand, blew on it while disinfecting it, and then bandaged it. The whole process was very careful.

Looking at the girl squatting in front of him with a nervous look on her face, Ni Jiamu's heart softened.

"Xiaoyu, I miss you so much."

Mo Yu said nothing, just focused on the bandaging work in her hands.

"The sum of the first and last terms multiplied by the number of terms divided by two"

She looked up. "What?"

"Please make peace, Xiaoyu, I was wrong. Let's just be like before, okay? Please don't ignore me. I really can't stand this."

Mo Yu saw fear in his eyes. How could she bear to ignore him? He was a very special person to her.

She raised her head and smiled brightly, "The peace was won!"
