In her past life, Huo Wu understood the hard way that tears were worthless and useless. Instead, crying just made people more vulnerable than they already were.
In her past life, she never cried again after her grandmother’s death. She didn’t cry when she was slapped forcefully by the woman acting as the female lead in the filming set or when she wore only a thin layer of clothing in the coldest day of winter during filming. Even though she almost froze to death, she didn’t utter a word of complaint or shed tears.
After experiencing so much, she didn’t cry after experiencing such a scary situation.
However, it did not mean that she didn’t feel any grievances in her heart.
Huo Wu slowly pulled her hand away from Mo Ze’s palm.
Mo Ze looked down at his empty palm that had been holding Huo Wu’s hand just a moment ago. He slowly closed his palm and then opened them again.
He repeated this action several times until he finally slipped his hand in his pocket. He rubbed his fingers in the palm of his hand and it seemed as if he could still feel Huo Wu’s delicate hand in his grasp. He glanced at Huo Wu and momentarily paused for a few seconds before he said, “Don’t fret about this, I will find the culprit.”
Huo Wu wasn’t in the mood to speak, so she just let out a soft ‘mhm’ after hearing his promise.
Mo Ze looked at the time on his phone and realized that it was around dinner time by now, so he asked, “Have you eaten dinner yet?”
Before Huo Wu could respond, Yu Xinxin stepped in and replied in an anxious tone, “No, we planned on singing a few songs here before heading out to dinner. After the incident, we’re both starving.”
Mo Ze suggested, “Why don’t we have dinner together?”
Yu Xinxin hooked her around Huo Wu’s arm and leaned towards her ear. She cautiously said, “A’Wu, why don’t we have a delicious meal to relax?”
In Yu Xinxin’s ideology, there was nothing in the world that cannot be solved by a delicious meal. If there was, then two meals ought to resolve the matter. Besides, she knew that Huo WU was frightened by the scary situation, so she wanted to spend more time with her.
Huo Wu didn’t have an appetite after experiencing such a traumatic event, but she couldn’t bear to refuse Yu Xinxin’s kindness. IN the end, she nodded her head and agreed to the meal.
It was rare for Mo Ze to display his gentlemanly and elegant demeanor because he usually acted like a playboy or a flirt. He asked the two ladies for their opinions, “Where do you want to eat?”
Yin Xinxin looked at Huo Wu eagerly, after all, Huo Wu was the one in charge today, so everything depended on her decision.
After what happened earlier, the anxiousness in Huo Wu’s heart had not completely eased yet. She was not in the mood to think about the location of their next meal, so she casually told them the name of a restaurant that first popped up in her mind.
This restaurant had only opened its doors a few days ago; it was a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant had good reviews and the restaurant had quite a good reputation among the diners who had eaten there. Huo Wu had seen the name of the restaurant while she was browsing through the internet a few days ago, so it just happened that this restaurant’s name was the first that came to mind.
While Jiang Zhining was driving, he suddenly turned his head to look at Mo Ze who was sitting in the passenger seat and asked, “Brother Ze, are you not going to pick up Sister Lili’s call? She started to call me now because you didn’t pick up her call.”
Jiang Zining’s phone continued to vibrate. The screen flashed the caller ID “Lili” from time to time.
The expression on Mo Ze’s face instantly changed. He couldn’t carefully think about his sudden course of action because his body acted before his mind could process everything. He quickly reached out and picked up Jiang Zhining’s phone, hung up the incoming call, and blocked Lili’s phone number on Jiang Zhining’s phone. Afterward, he powered off the phone and put back the phone to where it originally was placed. He managed to do all of that in ten seconds.
Even Mo Ze was confused by his actions.
His body merely followed his feeling and intuition to block that woman.
Jiang Zhining looked at Mo Ze confusion and asked, “Brother Ze, don’t you usually cut off your relationship with these women smoothly? Why did you suddenly…”
Mo Ze interrupted Jiang Zhining before he could finish speaking, “Just drive the car.” Had he known that the kid would’ve been that nosy, he should’ve left this kid at the Royal Court KTV and asked him to accompany their other friends to escort the three hooligans to the police station.
