Chapter 371: Sugar Coated Cannonball

The jade bracelet is a New Year gift bought by Murong Cheng for Bai Wei.
Although Bai Wei is confused, he is very knowledgeable about jade, and Murong Cheng pays more attention when buying it. Do not buy top-quality goods, so that his mother will not be suspicious. Just choose about seven to eighty thousand yuan.
Mu Zi felt that Murong Cheng was very careful, but she couldn't compare it to this. It seemed that it was like this before. Every Chinese New Year, gifts were always prepared by Mu Zening. She never worried. For this reason, the two had conflicts.
It's because she lived with her grandmother since she was a child and didn't like to move around with relatives, and she didn't have the habit in this regard.
Seeing that Murong Cheng had bought a bracelet for Bai Wei, Mu Zi also wanted to buy something for Bai Wei. She walked around the mall and couldn't make up her mind.
Mu Zi is still a student, spending too much money on gifts, Bai Wei is afraid she will be unhappy.
"It can't be too expensive, but also express your heart..." Mu Zi found it difficult.
"Buy a ladies watch." Murong Cheng suggested as he passed the watch shop.
"Watches are expensive." Mu Zi was embarrassed. Better Swiss watches cost more than 100,000.
Murong Cheng pulled her in, "You are not short of money."
She is not bad indeed. The tuition fee is paid by Bai Wei. The money from Mu Rongxuan has always been in the bank account, and she will receive the income from the company every month.
"Girls are big-handed, mother will be unhappy." Mu Zi murmured, still hesitating.
Murong Cheng's tone was disgusting: "If you linger like this, you may not be able to buy gifts at dawn."
Mu Zi curled his lips.
The two chose the watch to give Bai Wei, and before leaving, Murong Cheng asked the clerk to wrap the other watch.
Mu Zi took a curious look and thought that the style was very unique and suitable for young women. Who would it be for?
Murong Cheng seemed to see what she was thinking, and said, "This is for Huo Lin."
Mu Zi was stunned, only to realize that Huo Lin he was talking about was referring to his fiancée.
She thought to herself: Isn't it just a partnership? Why do you want to prepare New Year gifts?
But she couldn't ask about this. Once she asked, she felt jealous, Mu Zi didn't want Murong Cheng to misunderstand.
"After the New Year, Huo Lin will return to China and have a meal together." Murong Cheng said, "She has always wanted to see you."
Mu Zi: "..."
But I don't want to see her.
"I'm not going." Mu Zi turned his face away.
what is this? In what capacity did she go to meet her fiancee? Isn't the current situation not enough to embarrass her?
Mu Zi felt that Murong Cheng was cruel, and she had to put an embarrassing relationship on the table.
"I'll meet you then, you give her your watch." Murong Cheng ignored her resistance.
Mu Zi calmly said nothing, and the good mood of shopping disappeared instantly.
The feeling and atmosphere of a date are very subtle things, which may disappear because of a gesture, a look in a glance, and an unconscious word of the other party.
When she first went out, although she was awkward, she was still in a good mood.
Going home now, she sat in the car without saying a word, feeling depressed.
Mu Zi felt that the term sugar-coated cannonballs was a very appropriate metaphor for his own situation: no matter how sweet the sugar-coated, the cannonballs would still hurt her body.
...
Two days later, it was an appointment to go to Taoshui Village.
Mu Zi and her friends waited at the entrance of the train station.
The crowd was crowded. They didn't wait for Jiang Ci to come, but waited for Qu Mingjun, who was in a hurry.
"Miss Sister!" Qu Mingjun saw Mu Zi, as if he had found support, and said with a sad face, "Cousin was arrested!"
Mu Zi was taken aback and asked hurriedly: "You can tell why Jiang Ci was arrested? What did she do?"
