Chapter 1438: Blow, Fragile Friendship
Chapter 1438: Blow, Fragile Friendship
Auntie looked at the jewelry box again and again. Inside was a pair of earrings, with a logo printed on the box, revealing its high value. Inside the jewelry box was a bag containing two bracelets, also with the same series logo printed on the back.
Auntie packed the things up again. If they were not given by others, could Xuanxuan afford such jewelry with her own ability?
Thinking of this, the aunt hurried upstairs to let Mu Ning identify it.
Mu Ning entered the room and sat down on the chair closest to the door without saying a word. Auntie knocked on the door and then walked in directly.
"Ms. Mu, this was found in Xuanxuan's box. Take a look." Auntie was just asking. How could a young nurse have such valuable jewelry? Of course, it's not ruled out that it was given by someone else.
Mu Ning took a look and immediately frowned, "Found it in Xuanxuan's box?"
Auntie nodded, "Yes, miss, is this yours?"
"The earrings were given to me by the Third Madam, and the bracelet was taken off the hand of the eldest lady." Mu Ning said softly, then leaned weakly on the chair.
The bracelet was taken from the eldest lady's hand and put directly on her wrist. She hadn't worn it for a few days when it disappeared. She remembered that she took off the bracelet and watch while washing her face and put them on the washstand. Later, when she remembered the bracelet, it was gone. She asked Zixuan if she had seen it. She clearly remembered that Xuanxuan asked in surprise, "Is the bracelet that the eldest lady gave you gone?" But now, she found it in Xuanxuan's box.
Haha, Mu Ning laughed softly.
The aunt placed the jewelry box in Mu Ning's hand and asked hesitantly, "Miss Mu, is there anything else you've lost? Perhaps it's all in that little box."
"besides……"
The watch, lost along with the bracelet. And a dazzling anklet, also given to her by the eldest daughter. The eldest daughter threw away all sorts of nice things, like boutonnieres for parties, pearls, buttons, hair ornaments, and so on. She had even more skincare products, too. She'd bring over dozens of boxes of face masks, and she was always stocked with makeup. If the eldest daughter hadn't shared the products she'd tried at the hospital, even her naturally beautiful skin wouldn't be this radiant.
However, most of the things that the eldest lady had shared with her were taken by Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan did use more facial masks and cosmetics than Mu Ning, so it was better to give them to Xuanxuan than to keep them for herself.
Because she gave Xuanxuan a special pardon, every time the eldest lady came, Xuanxuan would come over to pick things.
But what Mu Ning allowed were only skin care products, cosmetics and various maintenance products for daily use, but she never agreed to any jewelry.
She remembered that Xuanxuan asked for it once, but after she refused, Xuanxuan never did it again. At that time, Mu Ning thought Xuanxuan was a person who knew when to advance and when to retreat, and she never thought that she would take it without being asked.
Haha...Mu Ning smiled bitterly with sadness.
"Forget it, let her go. She has been punished."
"Ms. Mu, we can't just let this go. In Xuanxuan's case, we could have called the police. It was already very merciful of us not to call the police and let her go to jail." The aunt spoke softly for fear of disturbing Young Master Zhuang.
Mu Ning suddenly felt annoyed. "Stop talking. Let her go. It's no big deal."
The aunt wanted to say something but stopped herself. She glanced at the young master who was sitting with his back to the door, and without saying anything else, she went downstairs immediately.
Mu Ning slumped in the chair as An came up from upstairs with the flying knife in his hand.
Mu Ning glanced at her, closed her eyes, and said to An Haoyi, "Miss Mu, if you feel tired, just lie down on the bed for a while. In order to free up more space in the room for the young master's rehabilitation activities, we have moved your previous bed out and replaced it with a large bed that can sleep two people."
After Zai An finished speaking, he waited for Mu Ning to speak, but she looked dazed, as if something was on her mind, so Zai An smiled politely and walked into the house. Not long after, Zai An left again, closing the door behind her.
Only Zhuang Shiyuan and Mu Ning were left in the room. Zhuang Shiyuan was still sitting in the wheelchair with his back to her. Mu Ning's mind was filled with a lot of messy things and she was in a bad mood.
After being with Xuanxuan for four years, it is impossible to say that I have no feelings for her.
The point is, she's been so good to Xuanxuan, so good—isn't she giving her enough? Why does she do this? And why does she even slander her behind her back?
Was she sacrificing her friendship just because she didn't want to leave? Mu Ning couldn't understand why she didn't want to leave. After Zhuang Shiyuan recovered, even they had to leave. Was Xuanxuan thinking that as long as she replaced her, she would never leave?
After a long time, Zhuang Shiyuan stood up from the wheelchair, holding onto the railing and moving step by step towards the bed. He looked at Mu Ning without saying a word, because his breathing was unstable. If he spoke, the weakness and trembling in his voice would be heard. So he walked to the bedside, sat down on the edge, and after calming down for a moment, he spoke.
"Didn't you say you wanted to take a nap? Don't you want to sleep anymore?"
He wasn't in a good mood, having read the comments from her friends and classmates, which were still lingering in his mind. Because he'd experienced something far more infuriating, he didn't really take Ye Long's comments seriously.
Mu Ning slowly opened her eyes, looked at Zhuang Shiyuan, and walked towards him after a long time.
"Where do I sleep?"
"Didn't you hear what Uncle An said?" Zhuang Shiyuan asked back.
"Hmm?" Mu Ning looked at him in confusion. Zai An seemed to have said something to her, but she didn't listen much.
"Let's sleep together, the bed is not small." Zhuang Shiyuan said softly.
"Huh?" Mu Ning still stared at him blankly. After realizing what he had said, her face suddenly flushed. "But, but I'm fat..."
If they really slept together, she was really afraid that she would crush him when turning over. His friend said that she would crush him to death at night, but she must not let it come true.
"It's okay, I'll give you two-thirds." Zhuang Shiyuan's voice was very low. Over the past few days, his vocal cords had slowly begun to function normally.
Mu Ning leaned down and gently hugged Zhuang Shiyuan. "I don't mind reversing our roles while you recover. I'll take care of you and help you, as long as you stop losing your temper for no reason. You work hard to recover and be my support again, okay?"
There is something I haven’t said in my heart: I will work hard to lose weight, make myself beautiful again, and stop others from laughing at you.
"Okay." Zhuang Shiyuan nodded.
Mu Ning took off her coat and climbed onto the bed. "I'll set an alarm. Otherwise, I'll sleep until dark without it."
"it is good."
Mu Ning adjusted the alarm clock, holding the phone in her hand. Of course, she would swipe and glance at various places and open the circle of friends.
Usually, few people pay attention to her updates, but today, the comments came in like a tide.
