Chapter 296: Chapter 290: They’re Actually Pretty Nice!

Chen Xixi walked to Xu Mu’s side and leaned down slightly, "What’s wrong with you?"

Xu Mu raised his head and saw who it was, frowning as he spoke, "It’s nothing, I was too busy looking for scenic spots to check-in and didn’t watch my step on the stairs, I accidentally twisted my ankle."

As he said this, he moved his ankle and winced from the sharp pain.

Chen Xixi expressed her concern, "How about we contact the program crew to take you to the hospital to have a look?"

Xu Mu casually said, "No need, it’s not that serious."

Chen Xixi straightened up, a gentle smile playing in her almond eyes, "So dedicated; your family would be worried if they knew."

Xu Mu’s eyes darkened at some word in that sentence, and he said coldly, "This is my own business, no need for your concern!"

Chen Xixi laughed lightly, "Alright then, I was just being nosy. I’ll be going now."

When Xu Mu saw she was really about to leave, he suddenly called out, "Wait!"

He did not want to just sit here in the sun.

Chen Xixi turned her head, her mouth still smiling just right, innocent and kind, "What’s up?"

"Could you... help me find a stick?"

"Of course, I can."

If it were someone else, Chen Xixi would not have indulged them after hearing the slightly unpleasant tone from Xu Mu, nor would she have left them with a friendly face.

But Xu Mu was a little different. If Xu Mu was indeed from the Xu family of Haisong Group, then she might have a great use for staying in his good graces. Hence, she agreed very quickly and also rapidly picked up a stick from the nearby woods.

Xu Mu took the stick, looked at Chen Xixi gratefully, and standing with some difficulty, said, "Thank you."

"No need to be polite," Chen Xixi spoke with significance, "President Zhou mentioned that if I were to encounter you, I should take good care of you."

"President Zhou?" Xu Mu was slow to realize who this President Zhou was, and he frowned, "Did he really say that?"

"Yes, you know, last time he didn’t bring you to dinner because he said he wanted to train you, to rely on yourself more. Besides, games are only fun if there are wins and losses, don’t you agree?"

Chen Xixi’s tone and expression were as sincere as can be. It was hard for Xu Mu not to believe her, and after all, his brother and Zhou Jinyuan were good friends, and their family had deep ties with the Zhou family. It made sense for Zhou Jinyuan to say such a thing.

Moreover, Chen Xixi had no reason to lie to him about this.

Xu Mu, leaning on the stick, hobbled forward, "Did he say anything else?"

"Nothing much else... Oh, right! He also mentioned your brother, Xu..." Chen Xixi cut off mid-sentence, her brows slightly furrowed as if recalling something.

Xu Mu timely reminded her, "Xu Nianying."

Chen Xixi suddenly remembered, "Oh, right, right, right."

Xu Mu had mentioned his brother’s name last time, but she hadn’t paid much attention then.

Xu Mu asked out of curiosity, "What did Jinyuan say about my brother?"

Chen Xixi thought for a long time.

She still hadn’t grasped the relationship and didn’t know what kind of made-up story would be appropriate, so she pretended to regret, "I’ve forgotten."

Xu Mu didn’t continue to inquire. He thought of Chen Xixi as an outsider, guessing that Zhou Jinyuan probably wouldn’t tell her everything, just some pleasantries.

Chen Xixi slowed down, immediately took out her phone to search online for Xu Nianying and Xu Mu, the brothers, but there was almost no information about them online, nor much about Haisong Group, only that the chairman had a son, but no details about the son were available.

She clicked her tongue lightly, these paparazzi aren’t up to much either!

Just as Chen Xixi finished her internal complaint, she suddenly heard Xu Mu’s voice, hesitating, "Could you... help me a bit longer?"

She looked up and saw some steep steps ahead. Just as she was about to say something, a man’s voice preempted her from the side, "She can’t."

Chen Xixi glanced at Zhou Jinyuan standing beside her, puzzled about how he came to follow her.

She withdrew her gaze, looked at Xu Mu, and said with a tender smile, "I’ve been following you the whole time, your partner might get jealous, so I just contacted the staff for you. You should sit here and rest for a while."

Xu Mu was a bit touched. They really were quite nice!
