Bai Muqing sat cross-legged on the bed, and her eyes stayed on Nangong Chen, who was standing in front of the dressing mirror to arrange her clothes.

Nangong Chen in front of the dressing mirror regained his previous weight, and his face also returned to his former radiant appearance. The whole person looked the same as when Bai Muqing first saw him, handsome, noble, and .......cold.

After exhausting all the good adjectives, it is not enough to describe him at this time!

Love and career have two harvests, and sure enough, men and women need internal and external nourishment to be beautiful and moving.

Nangong Chen pulled up his tie, and when he turned around, he found that Bai Muqing was looking at him with a look of fascination, the corners of his good-looking lips were slightly lifted, and he looked at her sluggishly: "What?" Didn't let you eat enough last night? ”

Bai Muqing came back to her senses and said angrily: "What did you say? ”

"Otherwise, why are you looking at me with a tigerish look?" Nangong Chen leaned over, picked up her chin and kissed her on the lips.

"I was just thinking....... Are you really going to prepare for court today? Bai Muqing said with some concern.

Today is the day when Qiao Siheng's case is opened, that is, the day the court announces the verdict.

"My dear, I didn't open the court, I can open it if I want to, don't I open it if I don't want to?" Nangong Chen smiled and pinched the tip of her nose with her hand: "Don't think too much of your husband." ”

"I mean....... You and Su Xi really ........ ”

"Really." Nangong Chen interrupted her, ran a strand of messy hair down her cheek with his palm, and said, "Do you want to go with me?" Witness Qiao Siheng's down-and-out appearance. ”

"I'm not going." Bai Muqing don't look over.

"That's okay, you can stay at home with Bang Qing obediently." After Nangong Chen finished speaking, he rubbed the top of her head with his hand: "Hurry up and brush your teeth, and go downstairs for breakfast." ”

After speaking, Nangong Chen turned around and took the lead to walk outside the bedroom.

Xiao Wanqing's cheerful voice came from outside the door: "Dad, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

"What are you waiting for me, baby? Wait for me to fly high? Nangong Chen also smiled happily, and the laughter of the father and daughter gradually drifted away.

Bai Muqing hurriedly got off the bed and began to wash and change clothes.

When she packed up and went down to the first floor, the restaurant was already very lively, and the old lady said with a smile while pouring milk for Bangqing: "This cup is for Bangqing, drink more milk to grow white and fat." ”

"Shall Grandma drink with me? Grandma also has to be white and chubby. Xiao Wanqing said with a smile.

"Okay, okay....... Grandma also has to be as white and chubby as Bang Qing. The old lady nodded, took a sip of milk, and then nodded and smiled like a child: "Hmm....... It's delicious. ”

Nangong Chen stretched out his hand and brought a cup to Bai Muqing, and said, "You should also be fat with them." ”

"I don't want it, I want to be thin and beautiful." Bai Muqing returned the milk to him: "It's better for you to drink." ”

After breakfast, Nangong Chen was about to go out, and Bai Muqing chased after him with the bag on the sofa.

Nangong Chen turned his head and glanced at her, and smiled lightly: "What?" Aren't you not going? ”

"I'd better go with you." Bai Muqing said.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm." Bai Muqing nodded.

Nangong Chen took her into his arms and walked in the direction of the car with a smile.

-----

After the two arrived at the courthouse together, it was less than ten minutes before the start of the trial, Bai Muqing sat down in the lounge and looked around, but did not see Su Xi. She leaned into Nangong Chen's ear and asked, "What about Xiao Xi?" Why didn't you see her? ”

Nangong Chen was looking at the materials handed over by the lawyer, and replied casually: "I don't know, I guess it hasn't arrived yet, or I have changed my mind temporarily." ”

"She'll change her mind on the spur of the moment?" Bai Muqing was skeptical.

"I haven't been in touch with her lately, you should ask her yourself."

Bai Muqing looked at him with a suspicious expression: "Why don't you care at all?" If she doesn't come, won't you lose? ”

Nangong Chen raised his eyes and stared at her: "What about you?" If Su Xi doesn't come, are you going to be happy? ”

"I don't have it." Bai Muqing muttered and retreated.

Although she didn't want Su Xi and Qiao Siheng to get into trouble like this, Nangong Chen was her husband after all, and it was really unreasonable for her to always help outsiders, so she was also very embarrassed.

Bai Muqing took out her mobile phone and dialed Su Xi's number, but Su Xi's phone was always in a state of unreachable, and she didn't know if she was here.

Until the time of the trial, Su Xi was not seen, and Bai Muqing had to go in first.

Bai Muqing saw Mrs. Qiao with red and swollen eyes in the audience, and also saw Qiao Feng in a wheelchair, and when she saw the two of them, her steps involuntarily stopped and didn't dare to step inside.

Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Feng also saw him, Qiao Feng's expression was quite calm, but Mrs. Qiao's eyes were full of hatred when she looked at them.

Before the trial, Mrs. Qiao went to Nangong Chen to beg him, but Nangong Chen resolutely rejected her, no wonder she was hateful when she saw Nangong Chen now.

Bai Muqing didn't dare to meet the gaze of the two, and lowered her head a little uncomfortably.

She didn't say anything about Nangong Chen, nor did she persuade Su Xi, presumably Qiao Feng must have been disappointed in her, right?

"Nangong Chen, can't you really let my family Strontium Heng go?" Mrs. Jo said with a suppressed cry.

Qiao Siheng made a silent gesture at her, and said apologetically: "Mrs. Qiao, the matter has come to this, let's stop talking about these useless things." ”

Mrs. Qiao begged without giving up: "You and Ssi Heng are good friends who have played together since childhood." ”

Pal? Nangong Chen shook his head and smiled.

Qiao Feng handed the tissue to Mrs. Qiao and comforted him: "Don't beg him, he won't agree." ”

Mrs. Joe took the tissue, covered her nose and cried.

With the beginning of the trial, Qiao Siheng was brought in, and after a few days, he looked a lot haggard, with a scumbag beard, compared with the high-spirited Qiao Dashao in the past, it was like a different person.

As soon as she saw her son's appearance, Mrs. Qiao immediately began to cry.

Bai Muqing took out a pack of tissues from her bag and handed it to Qiao Feng, motioned for him to pass it to Mrs. Qiao, and said to him apologetically: "I'm sorry........" ”

"It's okay." Qiao Feng calmly spat out these three words.

Bai Muqing didn't have time to say anything more, so she was pulled back by Nangong Chen.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Nangong Chen, and found that his lips were pursed, showing displeasure.

As the plaintiff, Nangong Chen did not sit in the plaintiff's seat, but entrusted a lawyer to handle it with full authority.

He looked at the haggard Qiao Siheng in the dock, thinking about the scene when he hid Bai Muqing's mother and daughter and drank with him in a row, and he couldn't sympathize at all in his heart.

When it was time for the witnesses to give their testimony, the plaintiff witnesses were asked to appear in court, and the first to appear in court was the nurse lady from Qiao's Hospital, whose testimony had already been submitted to the court before the trial, and now she is only doing routine face-to-face defense.

After the nurse went down, the second witness of the plaintiff was allowed to attend.

Everyone's eyes fell on the entrance, and it was clear that both the plaintiff and the defendant were extremely concerned about the appearance of the next witness.

Bai Muqing even unconsciously pinched the corner of the bag, her heart beating faster.

Qiao Siheng in the dock was also looking at the direction of the witness's entrance, although he knew Su Xi's character, he still had some expectations in his heart, hoping that Su Xi would not be so cruel to him.

And when he saw Su Xi walking in from the entrance, the expectation in his heart instantly collapsed, it seems that Su Xi's hatred for him is not ordinarily deep!

Su Xi looked very calm and resolute, and went straight to the witness stand to stand.

Her gaze passed over everyone, and finally landed on Qiao Siheng's body and smiled at him: "Hello, Young Master Qiao." ”

Qiao Siheng stared at her, also with a calm expression.

The next step was the defense, Su Xi stated in detail the details that were not clearly stated on the reply, and replied to the questions raised by the opponent's lawyer fluently, obviously coming over with all the preparations.

The opposing lawyer suddenly raised his hand in protest, turned to the court and said: "Your Excellency, Miss Su and Young Master Qiao are husband and wife, because the two have been in conflict recently, Miss Su obviously has the intention of waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Young Master Qiao, and most of her testimony is extreme, biased, and cannot be fully accepted." ”

"But what I'm saying belongs." Su Xi choked back: "What happened is not what I said, you can ask you Qiao Shao." ”

The lawyer said solemnly: "Mr. Qiao's confession has been stated very clearly........ ”

"No more." Qiao Si interrupted him suddenly, and after being silent for a few seconds, he raised his head and said to the court: "I plead guilty to Miss Su's testimony. ”

The scene was in an uproar.

The lawyer also panicked and reminded in a low voice: "Qiao Shao ........" ”

"Quiet!"

"I plead guilty, as long as it is accused by Miss Su, I will admit it." Qiao Siheng stared at Su Xi and spit out such a sentence.

"Qiao Siheng, what's wrong? So easy to confess? Bai Muqing leaned over Nangong Chen's ear and whispered.

Nangong Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Probably disappointed." ”

After coming out of the court, Su Xi was pulled and scolded by Mrs. Qiao regardless of her image, Bai Muqing hurriedly walked up, pulled Su Xi out of Mrs. Qiao's hand, and said anxiously: "Mrs. Qiao, don't be like this, Xiao Xi is still pregnant." ”

"She's still pregnant? She actually beat the child out....... This vicious woman! Mrs. Qiao cried and scolded, and pounced on Su Xi again.

Bai Muqing was surprised: "What did you say?" Xiao Xi knocked the child out? She turned to Su Xi: "Xiao Xi, is it true?" ”

"Really." Su Xi sneered: "What else should I do?" Keep him as a single parent without a father? ”

"You! What are you talking about? Strontium Heng will not be sentenced to death, how can you say such a thing? Mrs. Qiao said angrily.

"Mom, have you scolded enough? Can I go? Su Xi stared at Mrs. Qiao with some impatience and asked.

"Miss Sue." Qiao Siheng's lawyer suddenly caught up, stared at Miss Su and said, "Miss Su, Qiao Shao wants to see you." ”

"Strontium Heng, what's wrong with him? Take me to him. Mrs. Qiao said anxiously.

"Madam, no one can see Qiao Shao yet, please wait a few days, you will definitely be able to see Qiao Shao." The lawyer whispered.

"Then why did she see it?"

She ....... It was an opportunity that Qiao Shao had come up with great difficulty, if there was nothing important, Qiao Shao would definitely not be so anxious to see Miss Su, right? ”

Mrs. Qiao thought about it and glared at Su Xi unwillingly.

"Miss Su, can I go and see Qiao Shao?"

Su Xi thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes." ”

Qiao Siheng's case was pronounced in court and sentenced to three years in prison, and Qiao Shiheng gave up appealing.

Through the glass window, Su Xi looked at Qiao Siheng and said, "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

Qiao Siheng laughed self-deprecatingly: "I thought you wouldn't see me again." ”

"Why don't you come?"

"Don't you hate me?" Qiao Siheng looked at her: "How is it?" Have you relieved your hatred? Is that enough? ”

Su Xi nodded: "Enough." ”

"Now that you have relieved your hatred, can you consider leaving the child behind?" Qiao Siheng said again.

Su Xi smiled: "Oh, by the way, I am willing to come here to see you because I have something to show you." As she spoke, she lowered her head and took out a piece of A-4 paper from her bag, spread it out and pasted it on the glass window, signaling to look at it too.

Qiao Siheng cast her eyes on the A-4 paper in her hand, and her face instantly turned over, stunned.

It was a hospital-issued abortion slip, clear in black and white.

"You ........" Qiao Siheng's brain was empty, his face was pale, and he spit out a sentence in a daze: "You knocked the child out." ”

"That's right." Su Xi put down the A4 paper pasted on the glass: "I said I wouldn't want this child, you can die now." ”

"Su Xi........" Qiao Siheng gritted his teeth and spit out a few words: "You are too ruthless." ”

"What am I compared to you?" Su Xi smiled disappreciably: "When you imprisoned me, tortured me, and forced me to get pregnant, did you ever think that your behavior was also ruthless?" ”

"I'm ....... with Fang Mi." Qiao Siheng shook his head and smiled: "How many times do you want me to explain to you before you can believe that I have nothing to do with her?" ”

"I don't believe it many times." Su Xi suddenly stood up from the chair and said expressionlessly: "By the way, I have one last thing to inform you, and then I will force a divorce with you through a lawsuit, that is to say....... From this day on, you and I have nothing to do with each other, goodbye! ”

Throwing this sentence, Su Xi turned around and walked towards the door without saying another word.

And Qiao Siheng in the glass window looked at her back who left resolutely, her legs were weak, and her body took a step back and fell into the chair.

He never thought that Su Xi would beat the child out so quickly, and he never thought that ........

-----

Su Xi came to the café in the annex building of Nangong Group as promised.

She looked at her watch and looked frequently in the direction of the entrance of the café, and finally gave Bai Muqing a look.

Bai Muqing put her bag on the sofa and sat down, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just slept in Chen's office for a long time and accidentally slept over." ”

"You're pretty cool now, you have time and Xinqing to come to the company to accompany Chen to eat and take a nap." Su Xi smiled and said: "It's hard to come here, it's you and Chen Shao." ”

"I think I did suffer a lot at the beginning, but fortunately, everything has passed." Bai Muqing smiled.

"If you can survive the hardship, no matter how hard it is, it will be worth it." Su Xi picked up the cup and shook it at her: "Come, congratulations." ”

"Thank you." Bai Muqing picked up the juice cup and touched her, took a sip, put the cup back on the table and began to look at her, "What about you?" That's the end with Qiao Siheng? ”

"Well, it's over." Su Xi nodded.

"Isn't it cool?" Bai Muqing looked at her and asked again.

Su Xi nodded: "Cool, never before!" ”

"Xiao Xi, do you really not love Qiao Siheng at all?" Bai Muqing didn't know how many times she had asked this, in her opinion, even if she loved each other a little, she would not be willing to beat the other party into such a tragic situation.

"What's the point of saying that now?" Su Xi shrugged his shoulders indifferently and smiled: "I'm finally free, aren't you happy for me?" ”

"Should I be happy for you?"

"Of course, for so many years, I didn't dare to file for divorce because of the kindness of the Qiao family, and I have been running around avoiding him and his women, if he hadn't forced me to rush some time ago, maybe I would have to keep running and keep running, and I will never find the end."

"But now that you have abandoned the kindness of the Qiao family, can you really be at ease?" Bai Muqing looked at the gloom that appeared between her eyebrows, and shook her head: "You're not happy, are you?" I can see it all. ”

Su Xi took a sip of the juice and said with a smile: "Many things can't have the best of both worlds, just don't think about it." ”

She paused, and then said, "Mu Qing, I know you're worried about me, but don't worry, since my father passed away, I've become as strong as a boy, and I won't be unable to get through it because of this." ”

"I hope it's as you say it is." Bai Muqing sighed faintly.

Su Xi raised her wrist and looked at the time: "Xiaomei just said that it was almost there, why hasn't it arrived yet." ”

"Maybe it's a traffic jam." Bai Muqing said.

The mobile phone she put on the desktop suddenly rang, and the word 'husband' danced on the screen, Su Xi glanced at it and said with a smile: "It seems that your family Chen Shao really can't leave you for a moment, so I started looking for someone this time." ”

"He probably came out of the meeting and saw that I wasn't in the office and thought I had run somewhere." Bai Muqing picked up the mobile phone and swiped it on the answer button, and said to the mobile phone: "Chen, Su Xi and I are in the café in the annex building, and I have dinner with Su Xi Xiaomei in the evening." ”

"Are you with Su Xi?" Nangong Chendao.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I happened to be looking for her for something, so I'll get over it."

"Okay." Bai Muqing hung up the phone and glanced at Su Xi: "Chen said that he was looking for you for something and was coming here." ”

"What can he do with me?" Su Xi bit the suction pipe.

"He didn't say it." Bai Muqing shrugged.

Nangong Chen soon came from the office to the annex, he walked to Bai Muqing and sat down, touched her hair affectionately with his hand and said, "My dear, you go upstairs for a while first, I want to talk to Miss Su alone." ”

Bai Muqing looked at Su Xi and then at him.

Su Xi, who was on the other side, saw her expression and laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in a married man." ”

"That's not what I meant." Bai Muqing smiled embarrassedly: "Then let's talk, I'll go downstairs to see if Xiaomei has arrived." ”

After looking at Bai Muqing's back and walking out of the café, Nangong Chen retracted his gaze and looked at Su Xi opposite, and said with a light smile: "I've been busy for the past few days, and I haven't thanked you properly." ”

"Thank me for what?"

"Testify for me Qiao Siheng."

"No thanks, let's take what we need."

"If it weren't for your testimony in court, I would have almost never won this lawsuit." Nangong Chen said: "So I still have to thank you." ”

Su Xi suddenly sank, she supported her head with one hand and gently stirred the fruit in the cup with a spoon with the other, and only after a while did she spit out a sentence without hurrying: "Chen Shao, do you remember the scene when we first met?" ”

"The first time I met you?" Nangong Chen was surprised, obviously she didn't expect her to ask so suddenly.

"Yes."

"I want to think about it....... Looks like it's in front of your school? At the school celebration party? No, the real meeting seems to be in our school, I don't remember it very well. Nangong Chen shook his head, and then asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" Why do you suddenly ask that? ”

Su Xi looked at him and smiled self-deprecatingly: "That day may not be worth mentioning for you, but for me it will be unforgettable." ”

Nangong Chen's face was slightly surprised, and he finally heard some clues.

Su Xi continued: "Because that day was the biggest ugliness in my dancing career, that day was our school's celebration party, because I was outstanding in dance and appearance, I was selected to lead the dance that night. Unexpectedly, not long after I came on stage, my skirt was completely torn, and there was laughter on and off the stage. I was stupefied on the spot, and my ears were filled with malicious laughter, but luckily someone came up from the audience and draped his coat over me. At that time, the spotlight was so strong that I didn't even see who put the clothes on me, and then I was taken back to the backstage by the logistics staff. My show was ruined that night, and people were about to go crazy, and they had a big fight with the flower tie who secretly ruined my dress. ”

Su Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Anyway, I became famous that night because of my ugliness, and it wasn't until I returned to the dormitory that I remembered the boy who put the clothes on me when I took off my windbreaker, and I didn't even have time to say a word of thanks to him." In order to find the owner of the trench coat, I began to look for clues from the clothes, and luckily, I found a wallet in the pocket of the coat, and also found the owner's ID card from the wallet. ”

"I found his school address online and returned the coat to his school three days later. And just like that, I met you. Su Xi stared at him and smiled slightly: "Nangong Chen, you can't remember all of this, can you?" ”

Nangong Chen looked at her with a full face of surprise.

Su Xi hurriedly said: "Nangong Chen, I don't mean anything else when I tell you, I just want you to know that I Su Xi has a crush on you, and also let you understand why Qiao Siheng hates you so much." ”

"But these are no longer important, I have nothing to do with Qiao Siheng anymore, and he has no reason to hate you anymore. As for me, when I decided to follow Mrs. Qiao's arrangement to marry Qiao Siheng, the little love I had for you was gone. ”

"At the moment, we don't know who helped whom in Qiao Siheng's matter, but one thing I must admit is that everything Qiao Siheng did to you was because of me, so ....... Since you think I helped you, then I think I'm making up for you and Mu Qing. ”

After Su Xi finished speaking, he immediately said: "I have never talked to Mu Qing about those things in the past, so in order to prevent her from thinking too much, you had better not tell her." ”

The scene suddenly quieted down, and Su Xi looked at Nangong Chen, unable to see what he was thinking.

confessed to him for the first time, and her heart was still a little empty.

After a long time, Nangong Chen said, "Are you finished?" ”

Su Xi nodded, she thought that Nangong Chen would get up and leave, but she didn't expect him to speak calmly: "Miss Su, many times what you see and think is not necessarily true. Actually, the first time I knew you, I met you not at a gala or in our school, but even earlier. When I couldn't remember what day it was, Qiao Siheng suddenly told me that he had a younger sister who was in high school next door to us, and he dragged me to the gate of your school to secretly watch you. I remember that was the first time I met you, and after that, I could often hear about you from Qiao Siheng's mouth, and told me about the glorious deeds of him who beat up a boy who pursued you. The second time I saw you, it was the gala after you went to college, and I was pulled over by Qiao Sihengqiang to watch you perform. And when you made a fool of yourself, I was in the audience with him, and when he saw you making a fool of himself, he grabbed the trench coat I hung on the arm of the chair and rushed to the stage. That's right, although the clothes are mine, it wasn't me who put it on you, but Qiao Siheng. Speaking of so many girls with heavy makeup on the stage, I didn't even recognize which one of them was you, so naturally it was impossible for me to go on stage to heroically save beauty. ”

Looking at Su Xi's surprised expression, Nangong Chen smiled slightly: "That day, you had a big fight with the department flower in school, and Qiao Siheng had a big fight with the department flower's boyfriend outside the school, and the whole face was swollen like a pig's head." Later, the department changed schools, and on the surface, it seemed that he was scared away by you, but he was actually forced away by Qiao Siheng. You don't know any of this, do you? Because Qiao Siheng said that you don't like boys who are too domineering and violent, he didn't dare to let you know. Miss Su, Qiao Siheng has liked you since the day he knew you, and he has been around you all kinds of things, but you don't feel it. He does have some heart, but his feelings for you are consistent, there is no doubt about that. ”

"It's just ........" Nangong Chen shook his head: "You two are too strong, no one wants to bow your head first and say your feelings in your heart, he has liked you for so many years and never dared to let you know, in order to make you face her, he deliberately used Bang Qing to stimulate you." These behaviors are indeed perverted, but they are the methods he thinks are the most effective. To put it bluntly, he is used to being pursued by women, but he has never taken the initiative to pursue a woman, so he can't find the right way. ”

Su Xi looked at him, and only after a while did he spit out a sentence faintly: "You....... Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"I said earlier, will you still help me testify against Qiao Siheng?" Nangong Chen smiled wickedly.

"You're .......!" Su Xi's words were sluggish.

Nangong Chen looked at her: "What?" Regretted it? ”

Su Xi shook his head and stabilized his messy emotions: "I don't regret it." ”

Even if Qiao Siheng really likes her, what then? What if he was the one who helped her in the first place? None of this can hide the fact that he imprisoned her and betrayed her. Even if it is a man who loves her to the bone, she will never allow him to have a pregnant woman outside, never!

In order to prevent himself from really regretting it, Su Xi told himself over and over again in his heart.

She raised her head, stared at Nangong Chen, and said, "Thank you for telling me this, but it doesn't mean anything." ”

"If you don't regret it, it's good if you don't resent me." Nangong Chen shrugged his shoulders, took a sip of Bai Muqing's water glass, and then stood up from the sofa: "Okay, I still have work to do, so I'll go up first." ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the door of the café.

Looking at his departing back, Su Xi's hands on the table curled up little by little, clutching the tablecloth into a ball.

Don't regret it? Can she really do it?

Hopefully so!
