Chapter 55: I Still Can't Bear to Hurt You
In the noisy bar, Mu Tingchen sat alone at a small round table and drank stuffy wine.
It's almost twelve o'clock, and it's the best time in the bar. The DJ on stage was DJing, and the dancers next to them were twisting their slender waists frantically, making the people on the dance floor even more passionate.
Looking at the people who were shaking their heads, Mu Tingchen, who was a little drunk, actually shook his head to the beat of the music in his seat, he closed his eyes, trying to indulge himself in the sound of movements.
But no matter how much he indulged himself, as soon as he closed his eyes, the picture in front of him was full of his father kneeling, and then Yan's father's ruthless appearance, plus Yan Xiaoyu's bright smile......
Mu Tingchen opened his eyes suddenly, he stared at the wine glass in front of him, and one picture after another flashed in his mind.
Thinking about it, he raised his glass and drank it down.
How long has it been since you've been this drunk?
Thinking back to the past, it seems that the last time I got drunk was because of Yan Xiaoyu's departure, right, that time.
When Yan Xiaoyu left without saying a word, Mu Tingchen only remembered that he was about to go crazy at that time. He searched over and over again along the place where they were dating, shouting again and again, but even if he wore out his feet, he couldn't find a trace of Yan Xiaoyu.
She didn't even tell herself when she left. And just like that, he left without saying a word.
Only Mu Tingchen knew how uncomfortable it was to wait for others.
But Yan Xiaoyu also came back later, and she went through so much with him, and now, she has finally become his legal wife.
Shouldn't everything be celebrated? Shouldn't it be happy? But why, did her father do those things?
Mu Tingchen raised his head, looked up at the beautiful lights on his head, and thought to himself, could this be the calamity that God gave him? Could it be that he and Yan Xiaoyu are just so fateful?
Scold. If it weren't for Yan Xiaoyu coming back, he Mu Tingchen would never believe in such a thing as fate until he died.
Just when Mu Tingchen was depressed and painful, Li Qing came.
As soon as she entered the door of the bar, Li Qing was almost smoked to death by the smell of smoke inside. Damn, won't this kid find a quiet place to drink?
For a man like Li Qing, this place is really a little unclean today.
With a face like eating a fly, dodging along the way, Li Qing finally came to the small round table where Mu Tingchen was sitting.
“…… Have you drunk so much?" Li Qing asked in surprise looking at the crooked wine glass on the table in front of him.
Hearing someone speak, Mu Tingchen looked over, and after confirming that it was Li Qing, Mu Tingchen pulled Li Qing to his side with a grin.
"Drinking?" Mu Tingchen picked up an empty wine glass and said to Li Qing.
Li Qing rolled her eyes widely, today's Mu Tingchen ...... Why did he suddenly hate him so much? His state at this time is like a prodigal son who is addicted to nightclubs, and it is a complete waste to put a good-looking face in such a place.
"Does Yan Xiaoyu know that you are here?" Li Qing put down the wine glass that Mu Tingchen had forced over, and asked expressionlessly.
As soon as he heard "Yan Xiaoyu", the grinning expression on Mu Tingchen's face instantly froze.
He put the wine down, lowered his eyes, sighed, and said, "She doesn't know." ”
"You guys are quarreling, aren't you? Yan Xiaoyu is such a good-tempered person, even you have been treated by her, how can you quarrel?"
"It's not a quarrel. It's something else. Mu Tingchen looked at the dancing crowd not far away, and said in a low voice.
"Oh?" a smirk curled into the corners of Li Qing's mouth, "That's?"
Mu Tingchen shook his head, his eyes kept looking away.
Immediately, he said, "Do you know? There were only a few people who knew about my father's money laundering at that time. If he hadn't been denounced, he wouldn't have died. ”
Li Qing was stunned, does it have anything to do with Yan Xiaoyu?
Sure enough, in the next second, Mu Tingchen told the truth of the matter.
"So, you are distressed because your enemy turned out to be your own father-in-law?" After listening to Mu Tingchen's explanation, Li Qing summed up such a sentence.
Mu Tingchen pouted helplessly, "Are you really stupid or fake stupid?"
"Then what's not?" Li Qing's face was taken for granted.
"You understand it this way, it's a little biased," Mu Tingchen took a sip of wine, "I'm because of Yan Xiaoyu." ”
Li Qing shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help it.
"I didn't want to worry about these things, I also thought about letting go of these fathers' affairs and spending the rest of my life with Yan Xiaoyu. But I can't do it with Ben. ”
Mu Tingchen smiled bitterly, "You don't understand, what kind of humiliation my father endured back then, he actually knelt down for Yan Xiaoyu's father! ”
Li Qing sighed, "But don't you know that it's more painful?"
"That's right, I've got even more pain after I know. After I learned about it, I was having nightmares almost at any time, and all in front of me was the picture of my father jumping off the building, and his bloody face full of reluctance and unwillingness. ”
Mu Tingchen picked up another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"Ever since he died, I've endured the abuse of my family, the bullying of my family, and the fact that my father's company was divided up by those shareholders...... You don't understand, how hard it is. ”
"That's why you agreed to the marriage contract with Lin Wan?"
"That's right. But now, I know the truth, I actually want to take revenge!hahahaha......" Mu Tingchen covered his face and smiled bitterly loudly.
Li Qing moved to Mu Tingchen's side and gently patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.
"Li Qing, you say, should I take revenge?" Mu Tingchen held his forehead and asked painfully.
Li Qing was silent.
Rationally speaking, he should support Mu Tingchen for revenge, because this is his good friend's father after all. But as a friend, Li Qing understands that revenge will only make him more painful.
But without revenge, he will never be able to get over this hurdle.
Li Qing sighed and said, "You can choose revenge, because you are your father's only son, and besides, even Father Yan is merciless, why do you have to show mercy?"
Mu Tingchen didn't expect Li Qing to say this, he looked at him with some surprise.
But after Li Qing finished speaking, he suddenly held Mu Tingchen's shoulder vigorously with his hand, "But brother, I have to remind you, revenge, you will hurt the woman you love the most." If you're not that selfish, you have to let go of the past and stop those thoughts. ”
Mu Tingchen was a little dissatisfied, he turned around and said, "I'm asking you to give me advice, do you think I don't know what you said?"
Li Qing chuckled, "If I give you advice and make you listen to me, then I won't be afraid of anyone." ”
It was almost one o'clock in the morning. Yan Xiaoyu stared at her mobile phone, she had already made almost a hundred calls to Mu Tingchen, but the mechanical female voice on the phone kept reminding Yan Xiaoyu that Mu Tingchen's mobile phone had not been around.
I remember that Mu Tingchen said that there was a party today, but it's all over the place, and he should come back, right?
Could it be that his mobile phone was stolen? No, he would definitely contact him as soon as he encountered this kind of thing. Could it be that he was embarrassed by others, and it was inconvenient to tell her? No, Mu Tingchen is so powerful, it would be good if he didn't embarrass others......
Yan Xiaoyu's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, her heart beat faster and faster, she was very scared, what if something happened to Mu Tingchen?
Just as she was about to go out to find someone, the door to the house opened.
Li Qing helped the drunken Mu Tingchen into the house, looking at the stunned Yan Xiaoyu, Li Qing shouted: "Come and help, your man is too heavy!"
"Oh...... It's coming!" was shouted by Li Qing, and Yan Xiaoyu immediately ran over.
The two helped Mu Tingchen to the bed, Li Qing patted his clothes, said that he was handed over to Yan Xiaoyu to take care of, and then left without looking back.
Yan Xiaoyu looked at Mu Tingchen, who was drunk unconscious on the bed, and her heart was full of distress.
Why do you drink so much alcohol? I don't know if drinking so much hurts my body? I didn't say a word when I went to drink, and I was worried for so long......
Alas...... There was no time to complain, Yan Xiaoyu sighed and began to take care of Mu Tingchen.
She skillfully took off Mu Tingchen's clothes and pants, and then threw them into the washing machine. After putting his head on the pillow, she made another basin of hot water and wiped Mu Tingchen's forehead and body.
"Everyone Li Qing said, you are too heavy. So let's give you a bath like this~" Yan Xiaoyu said to himself.
After wiping his body, Yan Xiaoyu gently covered Mu Tingchen's body with the quilt, then turned off the light, and didn't forget to say before leaving the bedroom door: "Good night." ”
Because he had to dry his clothes, Yan Xiaoyu came out and gave Mu Tingchen a good sleep in the room alone.
As soon as the door of the room closed, Mu Tingchen opened his eyes.
In fact, he didn't drink too much at all, and he colluded with Li Qing before entering the house, pretending to be drunk.
Because he really didn't know how to face Yan Xiaoyu. He was afraid that he would tell her about it if he couldn't help it, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Mu Tingchen sat up, and he took the briefcase on the bedside table.
opened it, and he took out the USB flash drive that Lin Wan gave him.
Holding the USB flash drive in his hand, Mu Tingchen actually blamed himself a little.
As soon as he came back, Yan Xiaoyu had nothing to say about his careful care. She's so patient and so caring...... And he himself was still thinking about how to take revenge an hour ago, and how to let Father Yan also experience the taste of being wronged.
Damn! Mu Tingchen patted his head painfully. The USB flash drive in his hand was held tighter.
After a while, Yan Xiaoyu came back. Mu Tingchen pretended to be asleep on the bed, his eyes tightly closed.
Yan Xiaoyu looked at his "sleeping" appearance, and gently imprinted a kiss on his forehead, Good night, my dear Tingchen.
After Yan Xiaoyu fell asleep, Mu Tingchen's heart suddenly felt a little more reluctant and gentle.
What to do, I still can't bear to hurt you, my little fish.
