Chapter 37: Breaking News
When she returned to Cuiwei Villa, Mu Xiaojing, who was already tired from crying, leaned on Cui Mo's shoulder and fell asleep. The insomnia for several nights had already made her exhausted. Now a frightened. All the tiredness hit. Soon fell asleep leaning on Cui Mo's shoulder.
Cui Mo carefully carried Mu Xiaojing into his bedroom and put him on the bed. A quilt was placed over her body. Gently reach out and brush her messy hair.
The tears on the faces of the people on the bed were not dry. With her eyes closed, she looks like a porcelain doll.
Cui Mo never thought that she would be so aggrieved when she cried. Such a heartache.
At the moment when danger happens. Cui Mo's first thought was to pounce on her and block it. But it's too far away. He didn't have time to get there. Cui Jindong was already standing in front of Mu Xiaojing.
He was angry. It's not because Cui Jindong blocked the danger for Mu Xiaojing. On the contrary, he sincerely thanked Cui Jindong. If it weren't for him, Mu Xiaojing at this moment would have been corroded beyond recognition by sulfuric acid. He was angry at his own powerlessness. His wife wants another man to protect him.
He couldn't figure out who would do such a poisonous thing to Mu Xiaojing. Although he knows very well that in a family like the Cui family. There will be a lot of unexpected dangers. But such a danger is far from happening now.
The phone buzzed. Cui Mo stood up and walked out of the bedroom, closed the door and answered the phone.
It was Cui Mo's right-hand man Li Tian who called.
"Brother Mo. Only a few approximations have been found so far. The figure of that person should be a woman. Circumventing the hotel's surveillance. She was wrapped so tightly that she couldn't see her identity. After the attack, they quickly left. Li Tian reported.
"Nope. There must be a problem. Cui Mo said: "Although everyone knows that Gao Xin and Cui Jindong are engaged. However, the exact location of the engagement was not disclosed. The guests who went were also acquaintances of the Cui family and the Gao family. How did this woman know that Xiaojing would be here? And how could the timing be so good. As soon as Xiaojing got off the stage, she rushed over. Someone must have informed her from inside. She was able to come in from outside the hotel in a grand manner. When he fled, there was no trace of him. ”
Li Tian said on the other end of the phone: "What Mr. Cui said is good. The first time I updated it, I also found a problem when I watched the video. The woman hesitated a moment when she threw the sulfuric acid out. As if waiting for something on purpose. She didn't hesitate. No matter how fast Cui Dong is, he can't stop it. ”
Cui Mo groaned and said, "Got it." What happened to the Zhao Qi I asked you to check. She is the only one who has made a feud recently. ”
"I'll check on her as soon as something happens. Not her. She stayed at home all day. There were also several reporters at the door. Li Tiandao.
"What about Cui Jindong. How is he. ”
"Cui Dong is fine. However, his back was burned with sulfuric acid. ”
"Thank you. If you have any problems, you will report them to me immediately. ”
Hung up the phone. Cui Mo narrowed his eyes in the shadows. Look out the window at the decaying landscape.
Such dull days are coming to an end. The undercurrent below the surface of the water finally made waves without warning.
It's just that Cui Mo can't see clearly. Who is the person who is hidden after that wave. And what is his purpose?
Inside the conservatory. Cui Mingzhu carefully wiped the young leaves of a new sprout. The yellow-green leaves, which looked very weak, curled shyly.
"What a show today. Ding Qiong breathed a long sigh of relief. Elegantly took off the leather gloves: "Especially the moment when Cui Jindong did not hesitate to block Mu Xiaojing." Tut-tut...... It's a pity that you didn't go to see Gao Xin's expression. ”
"There's nothing to be sorry for. Cui Mingzhu said lightly: "I can think of it." But now her face is so ugly. I watched the news early tomorrow morning and I don't know what it will be like. ”
Ding Qiong nodded: "That's right." Today is a start. There's a lot of drama in the back. But are you really not going to accept my offer? Now ...... her."
Cui Mingzhu brought the porcelain white flower pot in his hand to Ding Qiong and said, "Have you seen this new sprout?" It's just a seed that hasn't had time to be cleaned up. Now he has quietly taken root. The first time to update, whether it is this sprout or you and my experience, let me understand. Everything must be cut down and eradicated, and no future troubles can be left. Otherwise, it will be out of control. ”
Cui Mingzhu reached out and gently stroked the new sprout. The long nails snapped silently with a slight force.
It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly. Days of insomnia and the sudden shock made her relax on the edge of tension. I slept with an empty head. When I opened my eyes, the sky outside was already bright.
Mu Xiaojing opened her eyes and rubbed her eyes. Stretch. I looked around and noticed that something was wrong. This large, fluffy bed is not in his room. The chandelier is not in my room. The wallpaper is not in my own room.
So where is this?
Mu Xiaojing sat on the bed as if she had lost her memory. Until the bathroom door is opened. Cui Mo, who was wearing a bathrobe, walked out. Mu Xiaojing can be regarded as regaining her memory. This is Cui Mo's room.
Without waiting for Mu Xiaojing to show a frightened expression. Cui Mo said without interest: "I slept in the guest room last night." ”
Mu Xiaojing took the exclamation back. Nodding his head, "Oh." ”
"Cui Jindong is fine. It's just that the burns on the back have been taken care of. Cui Mo suddenly said, "I'll take you to thank him in a few days." ”
Mu Xiaojing hummed softly. Bad memories of yesterday have resurfaced.
Cui Mo glanced at Mu Xiaojing and said, "I'm already checking who did it." You don't have to worry. The company will not go to work for the time being. ”
"Hmm. ”
"You except um. Oh, would it be something else. ”
Mu Xiaojing was stunned for a while, and said softly: "Thank you." ”
Cui Mo still had a poker face: "Thank me." I have nothing to thank. The person who blocked the danger for you is Cui Jindong, not me. ”
"I know. Mu Xiaojing said softly: "But I still thank you." ”
I went back to my room in a daze. Mu Xiaojing didn't know why, and felt a little tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. It was as if something in the room was pressing down on her. It's not as good as feeling in Cui Mo's room at all.
Sit on the bed. Mu Xiaojing was still thinking about what happened last night. Yesterday was in my own trance. The man suddenly appeared. Even if she covered her face tightly. Mu Xiaojing could feel the hideous face of that person at that moment. There are no specific facial features. It seems to be any familiar face. That face was hidden under the usual smile. inadvertently showed such a hideous look.
And what Mu Xiaojing can't forget is the tall figure that flashed by at the moment of crisis.
It's ridiculous. She fell silently in love with him. But it was the first time I had such a real hug with him. At his engagement banquet with another woman. At their own dangerous juncture.
So for a moment. I haven't even felt the warmth of that wide embrace.
She wanted to hug him like that. But the eternity she longed for was his painful endurance.
Maybe this is the so-called fate.
Just when Mu Xiaojing was thinking nonsense. Suddenly, the bell rang. When I picked it up, I saw that it was Liao who called carefully.
"Sister Xiaojing. Big things are not good. News. News...... Headlines......" Liao carefully shouted incoherently on the other end of the phone.
"What news. Did Mu Xue be photographed by reporters? Mu Xiaojing sat up from the bed.
"It's not Mu Xue. It's Sister Xiaojing, you. Liao cautiously hurriedly said: "It's Sister Xiaojing, you are in the headlines." ”
"Me. Mu Xiaojing's drowsiness suddenly disappeared: "I have some news to be on." ”
Liao carefully talked for a long time, and the more he talked, the more anxious he became, and finally said, "Oops." I can't tell. Sister Xiaojing, see for yourself. ”
Mu Xiaojing hung up the phone. Go directly to the web from your phone. I saw two photos on the entertainment board. One is yesterday's engagement scene. Cui Jindong rushed over to hug his photo in order to protect himself. The other is an obscure photograph.
Mu Xiaojing rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the man and woman in the photo. After identifying it for a long time, he was stunned to find that it was still himself and Cui Jindong.
Mu Xiaojing zoomed in on the photo and looked at it carefully, recalling when it happened. I thought about it for a long time before I suddenly remembered. It was the day when the five-star manufacturing accident happened. He asked Song Quanming to go to Jiangbei to pick up Cui Mo. I'm going to take the subway home. On the way, I met Cui Jindong. Took his car back to Cuiwei Villa.
It's a very small thing. In the car, Mu Xiaojing didn't even talk to Cui Jindong too much. So Mu Xiaojing quickly forgot about this matter.
But now looking at the angle from which this photo was taken is extremely ambiguous. Looking at the title: "The new chairman of the Cui consortium sacrificed his life to save the United States." The black knight of the wealthy Cinderella appears. ”
Anyone wants to find out about such a reverie-inducing news title. Today's media reporters can create gimmicks like this. Anyone with a modicum of imagination will guess what kind of relationship they have.
What is even more worrying is that Cui Jindong was injured yesterday because he was protecting himself. Such news appeared early this morning.
The timing before and after is so well grasped. Obviously it couldn't be the boring act of that entertainment journalist.
It's obvious. This is a deliberate attempt to push her to the forefront.
But who could it be?
That hideous face flashed in Mu Xiaojing's mind again. When I think about it, I just feel a splitting headache. Throw your phone aside. I don't want to let myself watch this news again.
She couldn't figure out herself...... I'm just a person who was hit by a pie falling from the sky. Why. There are always all sorts of conspiracies around you. Put yourself in a difficult position.
Isn't there a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows now? Keep an eye on your every move. As long as you are not careful, you will be stabbed like that.
