Falling tonight

Chapter 2

She closed her eyes, leaned on the sofa in the taxi, and let her head empty.

At this time, the driver reminded her that she had arrived at her destination.

Zhao Rou dragged her suitcase and walked into the door. The servants were slightly surprised when they saw it, and they immediately regained their composure and bowed: "The eldest lady is back."

Zhao Shijin was having breakfast. Hearing this, he looked up and looked at her: "Didn't you go home last night? Where were you?"

"Dad, I was tired from catching a flight yesterday, so I'm resting in the hotel."

Seeing her stepmother Zhou Yun and sister Zhao Fangyi also at the dining table, she said hello: "Aunt Zhou, Fang Yi."

Zhou Yun didn't look up and responded with a "hmm".

Zhao Fangyi gave her a blank look.

Zhao Rou took it for granted and calmly continued to pull her suitcase back to her room.

In the Zhao family, she was an infrequent presence. From the time she could remember, her relationship with her father, Zhao Shijin, was not that close. Her mother was said to have died in childbirth, and Zhao Shijin rarely mentioned her mother at home.There were no photos of her at home, and she had no idea what her mother looked like.

After putting things in order, it was already noon.She was called downstairs for lunch by her servants.

"When you come back this time, you won't go abroad again, right?" Zhao Shijin suddenly asked at the dinner table.

"...I'm not sure yet. It's possible that I will return to Country M after attending the charity night." Zhao Rou pursed her lips and replied.

"Your sister is getting engaged soon. You are not young either. Think carefully. It's not that our family can't support you, so there's no need to go so far away."

Zhao Rou was silent.

She had never mentioned Han Zihao's existence to them, and now, there was no need to mention it.

Zhao Fangyi raised her head with a proud expression: "Dad, isn't Brother Mu coming over tonight? He has many friends. Let's introduce him to my sister. Maybe if I find the right one, I won't go abroad."

Zhao Rou's ears twitched.

Brother Mu?Such a coincidence, his surname is also Mu?
Zhao Shijin's eyes lit up: "Yes, the friends around Mu Zhou are not ordinary people. Let him introduce them, maybe they can give an extra boost to the Zhao family's business."

Turning to Zhao Rou, she said, "Mu family, Mu Zhou, please remember that you and your sister are now discussing the engagement."

"cough--"

Zhao Rou choked on a mouthful of rice and quickly covered it with her hands.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shijin frowned.

"It's okay. I ate in a hurry and choked." She took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, her heartbeat pounding.

Mu Zhou?Is it Han Zihao's cousin Mu Zhou?Engaged to Zhao Fangyi? ?

Wouldn't it be so coincidental!

What a coincidence that she not only slept with Han Zihao's cousin, but also slept with her future brother-in-law?

A feeling of guilt suddenly rose in her heart. When she caught a glimpse of Zhao Fangyi's cheerful face, she buried her face on the dining table and stopped making any sound.

Whether they have the same name or the same person, we'll talk about it later in the evening.

Zhao Fangyi is 1 year younger than her. Unlike her fate of being sent abroad since she was a child, Zhao Fangyi grew up under the care of her parents.

In everything, she wants to outdo her sister. As long as she likes it, no matter what it is, she will reach out and grab it.

What if that man in the morning was really Zhao Fangyi's fiancé, and she found out that she had already slept with her future brother-in-law...

At night, a Bentley parked in front of Zhao's house.

As soon as he entered the door, Mu Zhou's attention was attracted by the woman sitting in the corner of the sofa.

Why did she appear in Zhao's house?

With doubts, he calmly walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Mu Zhou, this is Fang Yi's sister, Zhao Rou. She just came back from abroad yesterday." Zhao Shijin poured him a cup of tea with a hint of compliment in his tone.

Zhao Rou only glanced at it and felt that the blood all over her body was rushing to her head. The man sitting on the sofa with Da Ma Jin Dao was not the person who had been honest with her that morning!
Swallowing her saliva, she made herself look as calm as possible and waved to him: "Hi."

The man who slept with my sister had to pretend that he didn't know her. This feeling was so uncomfortable.Mu Zhou's deep eyes moved and he nodded in response.

I came to Zhao's house today for other reasons. We will learn more about her background later.

"Fang Yi said you had something to discuss with us tonight. What was it?" Zhao Shijin put down his teacup and asked.

Muzhou was silent for a moment and said, "I'll talk to her alone later."

Hearing this, Zhao Fangyi looked shy and put her hands on his arms, looking like a little bird.

After Mu Zhou and Zhao Shijin briefly chatted about daily life and business.

Zhao Shijin laughed: "Fang Yi's sister has been single for so many years. Mu Zhou, if there is a suitable young man around you, can you introduce her to her?"

single?

Mu Zhou narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Rou who was far away from the sofa.

The latter's eyes and nose were concerned, and he listened quietly to their chat, with almost no sense of existence.

He put down the teacup and said, neither salty nor bland, "Yes, yes."

Zhao Shijin smiled happily, as if he saw a rich son-in-law in front of him again.

"But Miss Zhao may not like it." He added.

Zhao Rou, who had her head buried far away on the sofa, was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.

"Brother Mu, how do you know your sister won't like it?" Zhao Fangyi smiled and shook his arm.

He reached out, put the teacup on the coffee table, and quietly broke free of Zhao Fangyi's hands.

Zhou Yun snorted coldly: "She is so aloof, who can she fall in love with?"

Jian Yue's harsh tone made Zhao Rou very uncomfortable. Coupled with Mu Zhou's obvious appearance at her home, she had still digested this relationship and just wanted to escape from this space.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Yun calmly. She stood up and said, "Dad, I'm a little uncomfortable. I'm going back to the room first."

"Look, look." Zhou Yun pointed at Zhao Rou's leaving back and said coldly to Zhao Shijin: "There are no rules at all. The guest is still here, and he left just like that."

Zhao Shijin moved his lips, but in the end did not refute Zhou Yun.

"Brother Mu, didn't you talk to me about something? Let's go to the room to talk." Zhao Fangyi said shyly.

"Let's go." Looking at Zhao Rou's hurried away figure, the depths of his black eyes moved.

Zhao Fangyi happily took Mu Zhou's arm and jumped upstairs.

Ten minutes later, the door upstairs opened, and Mu Zhou and Zhao Fangyi walked down the stairs one after another.

However, Mu Zhou's face didn't look good, and Zhao Fangyi's eyes were red, looking like she had cried.

Zhou Yun noticed the strangeness between them before and came over and asked: "What's going on..."

Mu Zhou stopped at the entrance of the stairs, exuding a calm and powerful aura, and said coldly: "Don't discuss the engagement with my parents in the future, they can't be my master."

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhou, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Before Zhao Shijin and his wife could react, Mu Zhou strode away without looking back.

On the way back, he made a phone call: "Check up Zhao Rou."

"Wow..." Zhao Fangyi leaned on the handrail of the stairs and cried loudly.

"What's going on? Did you quarrel?" Zhao Shijin asked with a frown.

"Dad... wu... Brother Mu said that he is not willing to get engaged to me... wu..."

"Why do you say that? A few days ago, Mu Zhou's father promised us that he would agree..." Zhou Yun frowned, stepped forward and patted Zhao Fangyi's back gently.

Zhao Fangyi sobbed and told the story of drugging Mu Zhou the night before.

Mu Zhou has been reluctant to agree to the engagement. Last night, taking advantage of the opportunity to be alone with him, she put the medicine she had prepared in advance into the water and gave it to Mu Zhou to drink. She wanted to take advantage of the effect of the medicine to do the natural thing for him. .In this case, Mu Zhou could not help but not get engaged.
