The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 56 Strange Behavior!

After a while, at the entrance of Modu University, Chen Mo was waiting quietly for Du Zihang to come. Suddenly, he smelled a familiar scent.

He immediately turned his head.

He saw Mu Xiyue, dressed in pink, walking towards him.

"Xiao Yue, do you have class this morning too?" Chen Mo greeted with a smile.

"Yeah, I have a law class in the morning." Mu Xiyue smiled and asked, "What are you doing standing at the school gate? Aren't you going to eat?"

"I have an appointment with someone, they should be bringing food." Chen Mo smiled.

"Oh." Hearing that Chen Mo had somewhere to eat, a hint of disappointment flashed across Mu Xiyue's face. "Then I'll go first."

While talking, Chen Mo noticed that Mu Xiyue was carrying the same bag as last time.

This made Chen Mo curious. The bag last time contained some old women's clothing, and he didn't know why Mu Xiyue was carrying them.

He immediately activated his X-ray glasses and looked at Mu Xiyue's backpack. He saw that the bag still contained those things, and not only that, this time even daily items like toothbrushes, cups, and towels were also in the backpack. This confused Chen Mo a bit.

He immediately activated his mind-reading ability and looked at Mu Xiyue, saying, "Xiao Yue, can I ask you a question?"

When Mu Xiyue heard Chen Mo taking the initiative to talk to her, she still appeared happy. She smiled and said, "What's the question?"

"Well..." Chen Mo was thinking about how to phrase it, afraid of asking the wrong question, but after thinking about it, he could only ask directly, "About this bag, last time I saw that it contained some daily clothing, and now you're carrying this bag again. Is there a reason why you always have these things with you?"

Chen Mo felt that something was not quite right.

As Chen Mo asked this, the joy that had just appeared on Mu Xiyue's face immediately dimmed, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

But Chen Mo had already roughly understood the situation through his mind-reading ability.

"What should I do? How should I tell Chen Mo? The family of Meng Yao and the others are powerful and influential. If I let Chen Mo know about the bullying I usually endure, with his kind-heartedness, if he cares about me like before, will he go and confront Meng Yao and the others? Wouldn't that put Chen Mo in danger? After all, he is just an ordinary child from an ordinary family, how could he possibly compete with these prestigious families? Forget it, I shouldn't tell him about this. I can't involve him."

Mu Xiyue struggled with her thoughts, and although it seemed like there was a lot of content, her thoughts were almost instantly organized.

She immediately squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm fine, I just like to have things with me."

"But I didn't see you like this when you were working before." Chen Mo said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Mu Xiyue's words stopped, and after a few seconds of pause, she said, "When I was working, the boss didn't allow me to bring these things."

Seeing that Mu Xiyue couldn't possibly say more, Chen Mo didn't press further. But since he had learned about this matter, he couldn't just ignore it.

"Are you still living on campus? Why don't you rent a room outside the campus? I'm currently living in a place with a very good landlord. If you rent a room for university students, the fees are very cheap. Do you want to go take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiyue smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I don't have the money to rent a room outside. Previously, my mother was supporting us financially, but recently she collapsed from exhaustion, and there is no source of income at home anymore. I also have to send some of my earnings back home to pay for my mother's medical expenses."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo remembered that Mu Xiyue had mentioned it during a chat at their workplace before.

Her father had died in an accident during a project because the protective device provided by the project party had a problem. However, the project party was powerful and influential, and they had delayed giving the proper compensation for a long time.

The poor people have no better way, so in the end they can only accept the 30,000 yuan hush money they were given.

If they don't take this 30,000 yuan, they might not even give it to them.

Mu Xiyue's mother also has no choice. There is still a daughter and a son in the family who are studying. The most important labor force unexpectedly passed away. Funerals need to be arranged and the children's lives need to be taken care of. They simply don't have the time and energy to fight against such a large institution in court.

Helplessly, they accepted the 30,000 yuan and called it a day.

But this 30,000 yuan can't support them for long. Mu Xiyue's mother has to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family alone.

As a result, she has become exhausted and collapsed.

Now, the money that Mu Xiyue and her younger brother earn through part-time jobs is not enough to cover their mother's medical expenses.

Let alone renting a house outside of school.

Now, they rely on the meals provided at their workplace for every meal.

The rich feast behind closed doors, while the road is lined with frozen bones.

Chen Mo remembered the extravagant meal worth 100,000 yuan that he had with Liu Qinlan the day before yesterday.

The disparity in people's lives is sometimes truly vast.

If he didn't know about Mu Xiyue's situation, it would be one thing, but now that he knows, Chen Mo naturally intends to help.

Even if Mu Xiyue is just an ordinary person, based on the relationship they already have, Chen Mo won't just sit idly by.

When facing strangers, Chen Mo can sometimes appear indifferent, but when facing familiar people, he tends to take care of them.

Otherwise, Mu Xiyue wouldn't think of Chen Mo as a kind-hearted person when she thinks of him.

"As for the rent, let me take care of it. The main question is, do you want to move out?"

Naturally, Mu Xiyue thought about it in her heart, but she didn't want to burden Chen Mo. After all, in her impression, Chen Mo is also a hardworking person and doesn't have much money.

How could she take advantage of him?

So she immediately shook her head and said, "No, I'm living quite well in the school dormitory."

Although she said these words, whenever she mentioned the school dormitory, she couldn't help but recall the scenes of being bullied by Chu Mengyao and her friends in the dormitory.

If it was just physical attacks, she could actually endure it. At most, it would be painful for a few days and then it would be fine.

But Chu Mengyao and her group seemed to have targeted her weak spot. They knew that physical attacks wouldn't have the desired effect on her, so they started destroying her belongings.

Mu Xiyue, who already had no money, would only replace things when they were completely unusable. But Chu Mengyao and her friends would destroy her things every few days, even cutting up her clothes. They did this to disgust her, enjoying the sight of her crying over these damaged items. They found it even more satisfying than physically beating her up.

Mu Xiyue couldn't understand one thing. Why were they so much happier than her, even though they lived much more privileged lives? Why did they have to torment someone like her, who already had such an unfortunate life?

With her simple values, she couldn't figure out the reason behind all of this.
