"I thought that with your personality, after that incident, you would have to go into seclusion for at least half a year. I didn't expect you to come out so soon.”
"Get lost! Why are you so talkative when I invited you to my place for a meal? Don't you want to come? Here! The door was there! You don't need me to kick you out, do you?"
"It seems that everything is completely normal. I can rest assured now.”
The man jokingly joked about Xue Yinghua and patted him on the shoulder. He did not hide the smile on his face. There was not a trace of hostility between his gentle brows. His perfect side profile seemed to be shining with sunshine, and his tone was very comfortable.
When Ou Ziyi found out about the death of Xue Yinghua's beloved one a month ago, he had predicted that Xue Yinghua would be dispirited for a while. As his best friend, Ou Ziyi knew him very well. However, he did not expect that his best friend would take the initiative to invite him to his house for dinner a month later. It seemed that his emotions had stabilized. He knew that Mo Xi's death was a huge blow to Xue Yinghua, so he would never mention this name again. It was not easy for Ying Hua to be in the mood to invite him, so Ou Ziyi would never do something like a cold shoulder.
It seemed like a casual joke, but in fact, Ou Ziyi had deliberately carried it out. Let the pain of the past go with the wind. At least the living still had a future and expectations.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Ou Ziyi inadvertently noticed a female servant who was kneeling on the floor and wiping the marble floor. Although she was working quietly in an inconspicuous corner, her pair of yellowed old sneakers was still too eye-catching. It was not just a little bigger than the girl's feet. Every time the girl moved, there would be a dull sound of the sneakers falling from the air to the ground. However, she did not find it strange at all. She continued to wipe the floor seriously, even if the floor had been polished. He could even be used as a mirror.
"When did your maid…wear such cheap shoes?”Ou Ziyi teased as he looked at the corner.
"It's nothing. It's just a mentally retarded child. Don't worry about it.”Xue Yinghua didn't lower his voice at all. When Mu Tong heard his voice, his hands paused for a moment before he continued working.
" It seems like it's really like what you said. There's no reaction even though it's like this. Your family is really a lot of weirdos…" Ou Ziyi nodded silently with an expression of agreement.
Mu Tong did not stop moving, but she was already a little angry. She did not think of herself as a docile sheep who would submit to adversity. She only had to obey her master, the arrogant young master of the Xue family. She could ignore any insults or insults from her master, and she could even not bear any resentment. However, she would not accept anyone who showed her any disrespect other than Xue Yinghua.
She deliberately pretended not to see and kept wiping the floor. She slowly moved closer to the direction where the two of them were talking. The rag approached a certain someone's feet. With a flick of her tail, the rag that had just been soaked in water left a perfect arc stain on a certain someone's pants.
Ou Ziyi suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly,"What are you doing! You…"
Before Ou Ziyi could finish speaking, Mu Tong hurriedly stood up and kept bowing to express his apology. The panic on his face made people really believe him. As he hurriedly got up, one of Mu Tong's shoes accidentally fell off. He looked extremely pitiful.
This made Ou Ziyi's anger suddenly disappear. He could only shake his head helplessly and say,"Be careful next time! What's your name?"
Mu Tong raised his head and saw Ou Ziyi looking at her. His heart skipped a beat when he saw Ou Ziyi's limpid eyes. She had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes. Her thick eyelashes were connected to her eyelids, and her pupils seemed to be sparkling with starlight. She was so bright that he could not see any dissatisfaction or sadness in her eyes. It was a kind of yearning and reverence for life. She was trying her best to live every day well.
Ou Ziyi did not know why he had such a feeling, but he was sure that this girl was not hypocritical or arrogant.
"What's your name?" Ou Ziyi saw that the girl was silent and could not help but ask again. He did not know why he would pay attention to a maid. It could be her attitude towards work, or it could be her pure eyes.
Mu Tong opened her cherry lips slightly, but she still did not make a sound.
"Her name is Mu Tong." Xue Yinghua said this expressionlessly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
He wasn't afraid that this woman would remember anything. It would be more satisfying for him to let her remember the past.
"Mu Tong?" Ou Ziyi looked at Xue Yinghua strangely, as if he felt that Xue Yinghua, the eldest young master, actually knew the name of a little maid. This was somewhat unbelievable to him.
When Mu Tong heard this name, her heart suddenly felt a slight pain like before. This was the first time she had heard her own name since she woke up.
This feeling was both familiar and strange.
My name is…Mu Tong…
Mu Tong's heart was in turmoil, but on the surface, he was still respectful. After bowing, he left the hall and went to clean the courtyard.
"Eh? She…Why didn't she say anything?”
"Because she's mute."
Xue Yinghua looked at Ou Ziyi with a playful expression, his expression turning from blank to surprised. The smile on his lips deepened.
" She... she... is actually..." Ou Ziyi couldn't help but look in the direction of the door. He felt a little apologetic in his heart. This girl might have really suffered too much.
For some reason, he wanted to understand this mute girl more carefully. What kind of magic power did she have?
"Let's eat."
"Uh…Oh, okay." Ou Ziyi immediately recovered from his absent-mindedness. He stood up and shook the grey suit he was wearing. Then, he and Xue Yinghua walked towards the dining room while chatting and laughing.
……
In the courtyard.
Mu Tong was absent-minded as he cleaned the room. He was still thinking about how Xue Yinghua had mentioned his name.
Master definitely knew about his background, but should he ask? Would that cold young master tell him? Forget it, it was better not to ask. It didn't matter if he knew or not, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that those memories of the past might be very important.
Mu Tong couldn't help but shake his head with his hands.
However, at this moment, a sharp female voice sounded.
"It was this vixen who was brought back by Young Master. I saw with my own eyes that Young Master hired many doctors for her and even brought her to the room for treatment.”A maid with red phoenix eyes pointed at Mu Tong and said to an oval-faced maid beside her.
" You're so ugly and mute, yet you still want to seduce Young Master, ha…"
"That's right! How shameless!"
Mu Tong just stood there quietly and listened to the two women insulting and mocking her. She did not think that these two people did not know her situation. Instead, they should know that their status was very low.
Mu Tong could tell at a glance that he was looking for trouble.
Even if Mu Tong could speak now, she would not argue too much with these two people, let alone she was mute.
Mu Tong suddenly smiled at the two women in front of him. That warm smile instantly stunned the two mean maids.
"Isn't she just a mute? And deaf?"
"Deaf and mute?"
" That's not right…I remember it was clearly…"
While the two of them were puzzled, Mu Tong went over and took the broom from their hands. Then, he pointed at himself and made a sweeping gesture.
"You mean you want to help us clean?”One of the maids understood what Mu Tong meant and asked in surprise.
Mu Tong smiled and nodded.
"Damn it! What a fool! Let's go, Xiao He. Since she's so willing to clean, let her do it!”
The oval-faced maid looked at Mu Tong with some disdain. She did not think that there was anything wrong with Mu Tong taking the initiative to help them. She pulled the maid called Xiao He and left.
Mu Tong looked at the two figures that had left, and her smile gradually faded. She suddenly did what she had done instinctively, including dirtying Young Master Ou's pants on purpose.
She felt a little conflicted. Was her personality like this in the past? She had no idea. Out of self-protection, he had let nature take its course and deceived everyone.
Mu Tong suddenly confirmed one thing. She really wanted to regain her memories. She did not want to be treated like a fool, nor did she want to be played by others for no reason.
Thinking of this, the hand that was holding the broom slowly tightened.
She did not know that a pair of deep eyes were staring at her from the windowsill.#
