Chapter 253 Reunion After a Long Absence

Chapter 253 Reunion After a Long Absence

Yun Mu spoke coldly, "Since you think 200,000 yuan is an insult to you, then let's call the police. I want to see what the police think your car's rear end is worth."

The driver clapped his hands. "Great! Let's call the police. Who’s afraid of who? I want to see how the internet will react when they find out a top celebrity and billionaire like you refuses to pay for a car accident! Then it won't be just 200,000 yuan that can settle this!"

At that moment, a black car approached and stopped behind them.

Yun Mu looked over and was slightly stunned.

"Si Nanjue, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Yunzhe get out of the luxury car, the driver said to her, "Since you all know each other, why don’t you pay him instead? She hit my car, and she's fully responsible. Isn't 200,000 yuan reasonable?"

Yunzhe glanced at the car and then at the driver. "Your little broken car is worth 200,000 yuan? You must have added two extra zeros!"

The driver became angry. "Do rich people like you even care about this money? If you don't pay, you'll be on the front page of the news!"

Yun Mu frowned. This wasn't about the money; it was about the other party treating her like a pig and threatening her.

That minor scratch should cost no more than a few hundred yuan, yet he was demanding 200,000 yuan!

Yun Mu was already upset, and now she was even less likely to be a pushover!

"Calling the police, right? Need me to help you—"

But Yunzhe stopped Yun Mu and took out a stack of money from his wallet, handing it to the driver.

"There's several thousand here. Shut up. Since you know who she is, you should realize she's not someone you can mess with. Before this gets worse, scram!"

The driver was stunned.

He instantly understood that, given her status, getting rid of him would be as easy as squashing an ant.

Sweating profusely, he quickly got into his car and drove away.

Yun Mu took out her phone. "How much do I owe you? I’ll transfer it."

Given her personality, she wouldn't normally give so much, but she didn't want to take others' kindness for granted.

Yunzhe turned around and looked down at Yun Mu.

Yun Mu noticed he was staring at her without speaking and waved her hand in front of his face, puzzled. "Si Nanjue, what are you daydreaming about?"

Si Nanjue?

Yunzhe snapped back to reality. This was the first time he faced her after regaining his memory.

Indeed, she only treated him this way because she thought he was Si Nanjue.

If she knew he was Yunzhe...

Yunzhe's throat tightened slightly. "It's not much money. Don't worry about it."

"But how can that be? I caused the accident; I can't let you pay for it."

Though this amount of money meant nothing to Yunzhe.

"I said no!" Yunzhe's voice turned colder. "Your driving skills are good. How could such a collision happen? Yun Mu, shouldn't you be more careful while driving?"

Yun Mu's expression froze as she took a deep breath.

She couldn't refute Yunzhe's criticism.

Yes, she had been distracted, which led to the scrape.

Yunzhe had never seen her so absent-minded before and was slightly stunned. "What's wrong? Did something happen to Huo Tingying?"

He subconsciously suspected that Yun Mu had learned about Huo Tingying's health issues.

But Yun Mu immediately turned cold. "Don't mention him!"

Yunzhe, "..."

"Did you have an argument?"

Yun Mu didn't answer.

Yunzhe sighed. "For a man, you're so distraught that you almost caused a car accident! Yun Mu, when did you become so immature?"

Yun Mu was surprised. This tone felt oddly familiar.

Si Nanjue dared to speak to her like this?

Before she could react, she heard him calling his assistant to come pick her up.

Then, without further ado, he pushed Yun Mu into the passenger seat of his car.

Yun Mu tried to gather her thoughts and get out. "I can manage..."

Yunzhe's face hardened. "I don't want to see another headline about you causing a car accident. Look at yourself; you’re in no state to drive."

Well...

Yun Mu glanced at herself in the rearview mirror, her face pale like a ghost.

Fine, she obediently fastened her seatbelt and remained silent.

Yunzhe got into the car and drove directly to a Western restaurant.

Kun Mu stood at the entrance of the restaurant, hesitating. She pointed to a hot pot restaurant across the street, somewhat embarrassed.

"Can we eat there?"

Feeling down, she wanted hot pot.

Yunzhe was surprised. "Aren't you supposed to dislike spicy food?"

Kun Mu countered, "Who said that? I love it!"

Not being able to have hot pot in her previous life was a significant regret for her.

Yunzhe realized that Kun Mu had changed from before.

He nodded. "Alright, but don't eat too much spicy food; it's not good for your health."

Kun Mu frowned. "Si Nanjue, you're being quite naggy today."

"Am I?"

He smiled and didn't say anything else.

At the dinner table, he watched as Kun Mu continuously cooked hot pot without a word.

"Why are you staring at me? You ordered so much, eat up. Today's on me."

"It's been a while since we last met; I just want to look at you."

Kun Mu laughed. "How long has it really been? Less than two months!"

Yunzhe didn't answer.

In truth, for him, it had been many, many years since they last saw each other.

He never thought he would have the chance to meet her again, let alone share a meal so harmoniously.

Kun Mu asked, "Didn't you go abroad? Why did you come back so soon? Is there something going on?"

Yunzhe collected his thoughts and nodded. "Yes, there's a patient in the capital, so I came back."

"Oh, I see."

Yunzhe then asked, "How is your grandfather? How's his health?"

"He's recovering well after the surgery. The last time I saw him, he was still full of energy."

"That's good. If you have any patients around you, I can help."

Worried that mentioning Huo Tingying directly might raise Kun Mu's suspicions, he spoke indirectly.

Kun Mu shook her head. "What patients could I possibly have? None."

It seemed she truly didn't know.

Yunzhe didn't press further. After dinner, he sent Kun Mu back to her hotel.

Before leaving, Kun Mu turned to him.

"Si Nanjue, you seem troubled this time. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

"You're comforting me instead..." Yunzhe smiled and nodded. "I'll remember that. Go back and rest now."

Kun Mu nodded and entered the hotel.

Yunzhe watched her leave, lost in thought.

After a while, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Lu Shao, do you still need doctors at your hospital?"

"Nanjue? You're back! Yes, we definitely need someone like you, a medical genius!"

On the other end, Lu Nanshen was overjoyed and ecstatic.

...

Kun Mu went upstairs, changed her clothes, and removed her makeup.

She sat by the window, lost in thought. After a long while, she picked up her phone and called Ji Ming.

"Do you have time?"

"What do you think? After your man punched me, I can't even film scenes. I'm bored out of my mind!" Ji Ming was furious.

"Then help me check something."

"What is it?"

Kun Mu thought for a moment. "Xingshui Villa. Find out who the woman living there is."

Despite his complaints, Ji Ming never refused Kun Mu.

"Sure, it's a small matter. Wait for my message."
