Super Rich by Doing as You Please-Chapter 50: A Woman Who Says One Thing and Means Another
Su Mu drove back to her apartment complex. After parking in the garage, she suddenly spotted a red sports car not far away.
She took a closer look at the license plate.
"Isn’t this Xu Yun’s car?"
Curious, she walked over and peered inside the car.
Empty.
’Why is Xu Yun’s car in my apartment complex’s garage?’
She thought about Ning Qian’s social media post from earlier tonight.
’Logically, he should be fooling around with Ning Qian right now!’
She was baffled.
So she took out her phone and called Xu Yun, planning to ask what was going on.
Xu Yun and Li Jinshu were struggling to fix the water heater when he heard his phone ringing in the living room. He said to Li Jinshu, "Keep an eye on this. I’m going to get the phone."
The water heater only leaked more the more they tried to fix it, and he was completely soaked.
So, he had simply taken off his shirt.
He walked into the living room shirtless, picked up his phone, and saw to his surprise that the call was from Su Mu.
’It’s so late. Why is she calling me?’
Xu Yun answered the call. "Hey, calling me this late? Did you miss me?"
"I’m not interrupting anything... important, am I?"
"Nope."
Xu Yun glanced back at Li Jinshu, who was still trying to stop the leak, and chuckled. "She can probably hold out for a little longer. Go ahead."
"..."
Su Mu blushed. At Xu Yun’s words, her mind immediately conjured up an X-rated scene.
"I’m calling to tell you that I just saw your car in our complex’s garage."
Su Mu asked irritably, "What’s going on? Are you in our complex?"
’The complex garage? My car?’
Xu Yun froze for a second before it dawned on him.
’Su Mu’s back, and she’s already in the garage.’
"Huh? Hello... ah... hello? What did you say? My signal’s bad over here."
With that, Xu Yun quickly hung up the phone.
It wasn’t that he was scared, but he knew Li Jinshu would be.
Listening to Xu Yun muttering to himself before hanging up, Su Mu shook her head in exasperation.
’If he didn’t want to talk, he should’ve just said so. Pretending the signal’s bad... so childish!’
’Oh well. He’s busy right now and probably can’t worry about his car.’
Su Mu put her phone away and walked toward the elevator.
Back in the apartment, Li Jinshu asked curiously from the kitchen, "Who was on the phone just now?"
"Su Mu."
"Why did she call you?"
Xu Yun said with a smile, "She’s back. Said she saw my car in the garage."
"What? Ah!"
The moment she heard it was Su Mu, Li Jinshu was instantly on high alert.
And when she heard Su Mu was already in the garage, she was so scared she let go of what she was holding, completely ignoring the leak as she ran out.
"Why is she back?"
"You’re asking me? How would I know?"
Xu Yun wasn’t scared in the least. Seeing how nervous Li Jinshu was, he gloated, "Weren’t you the one who told me she wouldn’t be back tonight?"
"I know! Normally, when she goes home for the night, she doesn’t come back."
"Well, I should go then."
"Go where?"
Li Jinshu pulled Xu Yun back. "She’s probably already in the elevator by now. What if you go out and run into her?"
"Well, what do you suggest? I can’t exactly jump from the 19th floor."
Li Jinshu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Quick, hide in my room."
"..."
"And your clothes, and your shoes by the door! Take them all inside, quick, quick!"
"..."
With Li Jinshu’s help, Xu Yun was hidden away in her bedroom. She shut the door and whispered a warning, "Don’t you dare come out until I call for you!"
The words had barely left her mouth when she heard the click of the electronic lock.
Li Jinshu stared at the door, her heart in her throat, feeling like it was about to jump out of her chest.
A moment later, the door opened, and Su Mu walked in, handbag in tow.
She looked up to see Li Jinshu standing in the living room, staring right at her. Su Mu chuckled, "What’s up with you?"
"Nothing."
Li Jinshu said with a laugh, "I didn’t expect you to come back today."
"It was a last-minute decision."
Su Mu looked at Li Jinshu’s damp hair and her wet pajamas, which made her already figure-hugging sleepwear cling to her body, accentuating her curves even more.
She asked, confused, "What happened to you?"
"I was about to take a shower before bed, but the water heater broke."
Li Jinshu lied, "I thought I’d try to fix it, but I couldn’t, and I just got water all over myself."
"Oh. So you’re saying we can’t shower tonight?"
"Looks that way."
An idea suddenly struck Li Jinshu. "If you can’t sleep without a shower," she suggested, "you could drive back to your parents’ place."
"You should have told me earlier. I’m already back."
After changing her shoes and then changing into her pajamas in her room, Su Mu came out to the living room and said, "It’s fine for one night. I’ll get someone to come fix it tomorrow."
"Oh."
As Su Mu was talking, she suddenly noticed a set of car keys on the coffee table—Porsche keys.
She turned to Li Jinshu and asked quizzically, "Whose Porsche keys are these?"
Li Jinshu’s eyes followed her gaze, and her heart clenched.
’Crap, how could I have forgotten the car keys?’
Just as she was trying to come up with an excuse, Su Mu asked suspiciously, "Don’t tell me these are Xu Yun’s? I just saw his car in the garage, too."
"Yeah, they’re his."
Li Jinshu quickly grabbed the keys, offering an awkward laugh. "Something came up unexpectedly today, so I borrowed his car."
"What did you borrow his car for?"
"If you needed a car, you should have just told me," Su Mu said. "You could have just used mine."
"It wasn’t really a plan. I just happened to run into him and borrowed it."
"Oh, so that’s what happened. I was wondering why his car was in our garage."
Su Mu got up and smiled. "Alright, it’s getting late. I’m going to get ready for bed. Are you still watching TV?"
"I’m about to go to sleep, too."
"Okay, good night."
Hiding in the bedroom, Xu Yun listened to the conversation between the two best friends in the living room and found it rather amusing.
He and Su Mu didn’t even have that kind of relationship, but because of Li Jinshu, the whole situation felt as if they were having a secret affair behind Su Mu’s back. It was surprisingly thrilling.
Just as he was lying on the bed, the door suddenly opened a crack.
Li Jinshu slipped inside and immediately shut the door, terrified that Su Mu might see what was going on.
Seeing Xu Yun lying on her bed, she whispered, "What are you doing on my bed? Get down, you’re all wet."
"It’s fine. I took my pants off."
Xu Yun clutched the blanket with one hand and grinned. "Want me to let you see?"
"Who wants to see?! You big pervert."
Li Jinshu sat on the corner of the bed. "I don’t want to look at all," she said. "I’m not the least bit interested in you."
"You little liar."
Xu Yun looked at Li Jinshu and couldn’t resist saying, "Just look at what you’re wearing. Who dresses like that when they call a repairman for a house call?
"Especially now that your clothes are all wet, what’s the difference between wearing them and not wearing anything at all?"
At his words, Li Jinshu looked down at herself, then glared at him, blushing with a mix of shame and anger. "And this is all your fault!"
