Chapitre 193

But it wasn't used in the right place.

"Well, since your friend is here, I have something to attend to and will head back first." Shen Moyu thought about Su Jinning, who was still waiting for him, and realized he shouldn't chat any longer.

"Okay, bro, don't worry about it, leave it to me!" Jhe winked his big, bright eyes at him.

"What do you mean, 'hand over'?!" Zhou Xingqi was so anxious he almost limped to his feet. "He just cursed at me so fiercely, how can you be at ease, bro!" He pointed at Jiehe with a wronged expression, looking like he had been bullied terribly.

Shen Moyu was stunned.

Shen Moyu: "It's alright, I won't be killed by all the scolding."

Jiehe couldn't help but laugh, but Zhou Xingqi became even more annoyed, pointing to the luggage next to them and insisting, "There's still so much luggage! My leg can only be lifted by him; the two of us can't carry it all."

"Didn't I just bring it up too?" Shen Moyu's eyes seemed to say, "Please think before you lie."

Zhou Xingqi was speechless for a moment, then a thought struck him: "But it's a hassle for both of us to get on and off the bus, and all this luggage is tiring."

Jerhe scratched his head: "Actually, my family has insurance..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Xingqi pinched Jiehe's waist hard, making Jiehe wince in pain but not daring to speak, only silently making an international hand gesture.

Shen Moyu didn't hear what Jiehe said clearly. After thinking it over, she decided that since she was already helping him, she might as well go all the way and deliver the luggage. It shouldn't take too much time.

And so, the three of them got into the Porsche that Jehr had won for his sixteenth birthday.

"It's good to be rich," Shen Moyu really wanted to say.

Along the way, the three chatted for a while. It turned out that Jhe's real name was Yuri Jhess. He was currently studying in the United States, just like Zhou Xingqi. He was of mixed Chinese and Russian descent. Although he grew up in Russia, influenced by his mother from Northeast China, he spoke fluent Northeastern Mandarin by the age of ten and even gave himself a Chinese nickname: "Mooncake."

Shen Moyu asked him why, and he said it was because he liked to eat Chinese mooncakes, which left Shen Moyu speechless.

The journey seemed long, and finally, just as Shen Moyu was about to fall asleep, Jiehe drove them to Tomson Riviera, one of the top ten luxury residences in the country.

Although Shen Moyu was from Shanghai, he had never been to a place like this before. Even though he had heard about it before, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he experienced it firsthand.

Damn, it's so good to be rich.

The villa designed by the Jehr family is very unique and stylish, simple yet noble, and luxurious beyond his imagination.

I wish I could buy a villa like this with Su Jinning someday.

After packing all his luggage, Shen Moyu showed no intention of staying. He had to hurry back to find Su Jinning, who had been missing all morning. Su Jinning must be furious and anxious.

Zhou Xingqi grabbed Shen Moyu's arm and bluntly said, "I know you're anxious to go back to him. But, can you finish your meal before you leave?"

Although his tone was earnest, Shen Moyu still pushed him away ruthlessly: "I don't have time, I still have homework to do."

"Brother!" Zhou Xingqi grabbed his wrist again: "The nanny is already doing it, so you can stay."

Shen Moyu was taken aback, then realized, "There's a nanny here?"

Zhou Xingqi fell silent.

Shen Moyu angrily shook off his hand: "Then why did you ask me to help carry your luggage? You lied to me?"

"I just wanted you to have dinner with me, didn't I?" Zhou Xingqi pouted, seemingly quite reasonable.

Shen Moyu should have realized it sooner. How could people as rich as them not have a driver or nanny? She actually believed it because she felt sorry for them.

"Zhou Xingqi, are you kidding me? Do you know how anxious I am?" Shen Moyu instantly understood what was going on.

Zhou Xingqi dropped the pretense, and Ren Da casually pointed to the door: "Fine, go ahead and leave. This place is so big, without us to guide you out, you'll never find your way out no matter how long you wander around."

"Zhou Xingqi!" Shen Moyu's face turned pale with anger. He really couldn't understand why Zhou Xingqi targeted Su Jinning again and again, trying every means to make him leave him. Every time Su Jinning was mentioned, he would get angry and even do things like this, just to prevent the two of them from seeing each other.

"Zhou Xingqi," Shen Moyu said earnestly, "I don't know why you dislike Su Jinning."

His tone was so gentle that even Zhou Xingqi couldn't help but question himself, but in fact he had known the answer for a long time, ever since Gu Junxiao appeared.

He loved his brother, and he hated everyone around him. He felt that no one but himself would treat Shen Moyu so well.

"I know you're worried about me, but he's really different from Gu Junxiao. You don't need to keep stopping us from seeing each other." Shen Moyu sighed softly, "I really dislike you doing this. It's too willful."

When the word "disgust" came out of his mouth, Zhou Xingqi's heart trembled violently, as if a large stone had been thrown into a calm lake, the splashing water and the abrupt sound startling him.

"I..." Zhou Xingqi seemed to hesitate for a long time before looking up into his eyes: "I just want... you to have dinner with me."

Even if his voice was soft and he looked aggrieved, Shen Moyu didn't want to soften her heart: "Take me back, I need to see Su Jinning."

"elder brother……"

"I'll say it again." Shen Moyu turned to look at him: "See me out, I need to see Su Jinning."

His words were so resolute that Zhou Xingqi had no confidence to retaliate.

"Brother, is Su Jinning really that important to you?" Zhou Xingqi stopped making a fuss and became very calm.

"I'm leaving in a couple of days," Zhou Xingqi said listlessly, staring at his ankles. "I have things to take care of these next couple of days, and I don't know when I'll be back."

Shen Moyu frowned as she looked at his sullen face.

"So, can you have dinner with me today? Just today, just this once, it won't take up too much of your time."

Zhou Xingqi looked at him humbly, his tender and cute face showing a hint of pleading, as if he was afraid that if he said one wrong word, his brother would not stay.

Shen Moyu still felt sorry for him, and he covered his face, scolding himself for being too overly sentimental.

In the end, he borrowed a phone from Jiehe and dialed Su Jinning's number.

"Hello?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shen Moyu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of reassurance: "Brother Ning, it's me."

There was a two-second pause on the other end of the phone, followed only by somewhat unsteady breathing.
