He had a good impression of Jiujiu in his heart, but he did not treat her as a complete individual. In his eyes, Jiujiu was the storage of Mu Linlang's heart. Even if he had a good impression of Jiujiu, it could not be compared to Mu Linlang's position in his heart.
But at this moment, when he heard Jiujiu telling Mu Rong that she only liked to study with a serious face, a thought flashed across Li Jue's mind. This thought was too outrageous and flashed too quickly. He did not catch it, but he felt the sense of loss in his heart getting heavier.
In contrast to Li Jue's serious face, Mu Rong was much more relaxed. Mu Rong's broad palm rubbed Jiujiu's head and said with a smile, "I've already helped you contact the school. You can go to school next Monday. Are you happy?"
"I'm happy."
Jiujiu's happy voice made Li Jue's chest feel even more uncomfortable, as if it was blocked by something. Li Jue suppressed the disappointment in his heart and looked at Jiujiu to ask, "Do you really want to marry Mu Rong?"
Even if Mu Rong was very rich, his character was arrogant and eccentric. Not only was he much older than Jiujiu, but he was also a cripple.
No matter how much money he had, it could not make up for the fact that Mu Rong was a cripple.
Even those who cooperated with Mu Rong, even if they showed respect to Mu Rong in front of him, they despised him behind his back.
Humans were like this. They were two-faced existences. They were hypocritical, but they were real and scary.
Li Jue looked at Jiujiu quietly, waiting for Jiujiu's answer.
However, to Li Jue's disappointment, Jiujiu did not deny his question. Instead, she said with certainty, "Mr. Mu is a very good person. He's also very good to me. I like him very much. I want to marry him."
Jiujiu's serious expression and words that were close to a confession made Mu Rong's face bloom with a smile. Li Jue's expression became more and more unsightly because of Jiujiu's words. If Mu Linlang wasn't here, he would probably ask, "What about me?"
He was the one who saved Jiujiu. Why did Jiujiu like Murong instead of him?
This was unfair, Li Jue thought to himself.
However, just as these words were about to come out of his mouth, Li Jue received Murong's warning and cold gaze. Li Jue immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
For this meal, Mu Rong and Jiujiu ate well, but Li Jue and Mu Linlang couldn't eat.
Mu Linlang thought that if what Mu Rong said was true, even Li Jue could not touch Jiujiu.
Even though Li Jue had already told her that there was a problem with the heart, Mu Linlang didn't think that it would be this problem.
As long as Murong was alive, she would never be able to get Jiujiu's heart. At the thought of this, Mu Linlang's vision turned black.
Her body didn't allow her to wait any longer. She had to do a heart transplant as soon as possible. However, she wanted a heart that was highly compatible with her body and wouldn't reject her. She didn't want a heart from a stranger that was likely to reject her.
However, now that she had been chased out of the Mu family by Mu Rong, Li Jue didn't dare to provoke Mu Rong. It was impossible for her to get Jiujiu's heart.
As for Li Jue, because Jiujiu said that she liked Mu Rong and wanted to marry Mu Rong, his heart was particularly upset.
After the meal, Li Jue and Mu Linlang both left with a solemn expression. On the way back, both of them were particularly silent.
It was clearly a great day for the two of them to get married and buy wedding rings, but neither of them was happy.
After Mu Linlang and Li Jue left, Mu Rong sneered and turned to look at Jiujiu. She smiled faintly and asked, "How do you feel?"
Jiujiu held her chin with one hand and looked at Li Jue and Mu Linlang's backs.
Li Jue clearly liked Jiujiu so much before, but from the backs of the two of them leaving together, Jiujiu couldn't tell how much Li Jue liked Mu Linlang.
It was publicly known that Mu Linlang had a bad heart, but Li Jue didn't know how to be considerate of Mu Linlang and walk slower. On the other hand, in order to keep up with Li Jue, Mu Linlang almost forced herself to follow Li Jue at a pace that would make her uncomfortable.
It seemed that Li Jue didn't like Mu Linlang as much as she had imagined.
Jiujiu felt that Li Jue's liking for Mu Linlang might be a habit. It was probably because he had always liked her in the past, so he thought that he liked her now. However, in reality, his liking for Mu Linlang was already very faint, but he didn't notice it at all.
Li Jue could keep his chastity for Mu Linlang for so many years, but he just had to meet Cheng Xiaocao, who looked very similar to Mu Linlang.
Li Jue used the excuse that he was a man and had a normal body. Cheng Xiaocao was exactly the same as Mu Linlang, so there was no difference between him and Cheng Xiaocao and Mu Linlang.
However, even twins couldn't be guaranteed to be exactly the same, not to mention that Cheng Xiaocao and Mu Linlang were sisters from the same father and mother. Therefore, Li Jue touched Cheng Xiaocao at that time because his liking for Mu Linlang was already extremely faint.
Thinking of how Li Jue cared about her just now, Jiujiu's lips curled up slightly and she said with a smile, "I think Mr. Li doesn't seem to like Miss Mu as much as you said."
Mu Rong sneered and said in a disdainful tone, "She's just a drowning dog. How can she be worthy of the surname Mu?"
Jiujiu smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
When Li Jue and Mu Linlang returned home, Mu Linlang felt a little uncomfortable because she walked too quickly just now. She didn't notice Li Jue's abnormality and went straight back to her room to rest.
Li Jue's heart was really uncomfortable. When he thought of Jiujiu seriously telling him that Mu Rong was a good person, that she liked him, and that she wanted to marry Mu Rong, Li Jue really wanted to shout that she knew what kind of person Mu Rong was. Did she know that Mu Rong was already 33 years old this year? Mu Rong was twice her age, and he was even a cripple who couldn't even walk upright.
At the thought of this, Li Jue was extremely anxious. His mind was filled with the image of Jiujiu seriously telling him that she liked Mr. Mu just now.
After the weekend, early on Monday morning, Mu Rong sent Jiujiu to her new school.
From now on, Jiujiu was a freshman in high school.
Although she came halfway, Mu Rong still arranged for Jiujiu to be in the top class.
Jiujiu was good-looking, and because of the important instructions of the head teacher, Jiujiu got along well with the classmates in the class.
The teacher in Jiujiu's class originally had a lot of opinions about Jiujiu, a transfer student who came in halfway. However, after asking a few questions, she realized that Jiujiu knew everything and even had a lot of opinions about it. Thus, she treated her as an equal.
The school didn't end at noon. Jiujiu was taken to the cafeteria by her deskmate to have lunch. When she arrived at the classroom door, she saw Li Jue standing at the classroom door waiting for her.
