68. You overestimate my compassion
"I haven't eaten enough," she said coquettishly, reclaiming her spoon, "and there's nothing to eat on the plane, and I'm going to starve." โ
"Who told you to fly?"
"It's not been a long time since they've been on a plane?" Xuanru pouted and had salad dressing on her mouth, you can't say that it was because she knew that her stepmother would get motion sickness, so she deliberately wanted to take a plane, right?
Xuanru ate a few more bites of salad, and soon felt full, looking at the rest of the deliciousness, thinking that this was originally made by grandma for her father, and now that she is full, she has also fed it to grandma and father, how to solve the rest?
Yu Guang skimmed over Yueru and He Guan, and was silent for a while, she simply went upstairs with a salad plate.
Lin Xu looked at the sunset outside the window, and said in his heart that the time was almost up, and he should go downstairs to deal with those businessmen and politicians.
The people of Huaning already knew about him and Mu Xin, and the people of Hua Hai inevitably had to ask a few more questions, Mu Xin looked at the people with a good heart and a good temper, and she was much more tired of these flatteries and nonsense than him, if she was in a bad mood, could she still give him a good face?
After greeting Mo Yin, he put on his coat and went to the bathroom.
"Ah, wait a minute!"
The footsteps behind him were low and dark because of caution, and when Lin Xu turned around, He Wan stood condescendingly on the middle step of the stairs, looking at him with a somewhat resentful gaze, but also a little ruthless - how many years of arrogance and arrogance are finally going to disappear.
Lin Xu's eyes sank, "I said, don't call me Ah Xu, there will be another ......"
"Lin Xu!" She drank him, only these two words trembled slightly, and quickly regained her composure, and said with a smile: "Besides Yueru, what else can you use to threaten me?" Do you think I'm really a fool at your mercy? โ
"At the mercy?" Lin Xu chewed on these two words incredulously, he thought, restless people will not be at ease after all, it was he who indulged He Wan too much, making her so greedy.
"He Guan, if there is a second person who can protect you, will you still be my brother's lover?" Lin Xu sneered and turned around to leave.
He Guan's body trembled, "Xuanru's biological mother is Mu Xin, right?" โ
The temperature in Lin Xu's eyes dropped a little.
Of course he knew that she was not stupid, that she was a participant in the matter, and it was not surprising that she knew about it before anyone else.
But to put the truth of the matter on the stage so hastily, she is obviously not a smart person.
He Wan looked at his rather shaky figure and tightly pursed lips, and knew that he was right.
"The Lin family has no friendship with the He family, why did you generously send me to London to hide from Queen Yu, and why did you leave me there alone and let your brother take care of it? Lin Xu, in order to make Lin Qian interested in me, how many encounters did you artificially create? โ
"What else do you want to say?" He asked, cloaking his hands in his trouser pockets and looking at her indifferently.
"I'm your pawn to seduce Lin Qian, your purpose is just to get Mu Xin, but as long as Mu Xin and Lin Qian still have a marriage contract, you will never be able to justify it, so you made an excuse for Lin Qian's divorce!"
She said it word for word. He is for a woman, and when necessary, he contributed to the affair between her and his eldest brother.
"What else, let's all say it all," he said, the emotion on his face slowly calmed down, and even a little mockery was smeared, "You can tell them, but you have to be prepared to suffer the consequences, and I also hope that Xuanru will find her biological mother as soon as possible." โ
"Are you really not afraid?" She felt her legs go limp, and she almost fell to the ground, regret occupying all her thoughts.
- Mu Xin is now his wife, and they even have a five-year-old daughter dramatically, for whom she has long been of no use.
Lin Xu's calmness scared her, regretting that she had a showdown too quickly, if Lin Xu had no tolerance for her, then what would happen to her?
"Then why are you protecting me until now?" She asked, her tone was sickly weak, and her voice was high and low, "Obviously, Lin Qian and that woman are already married, and I have no value anymore." โ
Lin Xu hooked his lips and said with a smile: "You overestimate my sympathy, if Empress Yu lets people kidnap you from here, I won't blink my eyes." โ
The man's cold and sharp back disappeared at the corner of the stairs, and He Wan finally fell on the stairs with tears streaming down his face.
He never asked why she would seek his help when her family was ruined and desperate, and why she still stayed in the Lin family even though Lin Qian was already married and had children.
The blood stain that appeared in her mind made her cry even harder, and finally she couldn't cry anymore.
When Mu Xin woke up, it was almost four o'clock, and there was a small plate of fruit salad on the side table, which looked quite good, and when she looked around, she found that Xuan Ru was lying on the sofa and fell asleep again.
She lightly draped her blazer over her, and before the fabric touched her, she woke up, and pointed to the small plate opposite her with sleepy eyes, and said nonchalantly: "My dad left you a fruit salad made by grandma." โ
Mu Xin tugged at the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Yo, I listened to your father today." โ
Xuan Ru glanced at her, threw her clothes on the corner of the sofa, pulled her skirt, and walked out the door while saying, "I don't listen to my father, what does it have to do with you?" โ
Mu Xin couldn't help but laugh, watching her little back go farther and farther, and then there was the cheerful sound of leather shoes stepping on the stairs, and the sound gradually faded away, just like when I took the school bus past the conservatory in college, there was a feeling of quiet years.
When Mu Xin went downstairs, the guests downstairs were already bustling.
Men in suits and leather shoes, or gray hair, or women with shiny black hair and light makeup, or long skirts swaying to the ground, or showing two straight and slender white legs.
Waiters in white shirts and black vests have begun to come and go, shuttling between the various crowds and adding the must-have delicacies of the banquet.
The venue was huge, the red carpet was covered with red rose petals, the entrance was lined with people from the ceremonial team, the walls were projected with pleasing wedding photos, and music was slowly flowing out.
Mu Xin thought: The pomp is really big, the talent and the beauty are really eye-catching, this pure music is really harsh.
She stood around the corner, took a glass of red wine from the adaptation student, and searched for Lin Xu.
There are many people who should come.
Yang Shang is no longer Yang Shang.
He was the only son of the Huahai Du family, of course, on behalf of a powerful father, and the girl he was holding in his arms, in her early twenties, looked exactly like the girl she described, young and beautiful, but her eyes were a little melancholy and frightened.
Sitting opposite them was a group of fox friends and dog friends of Yang merchants in Huahai.
The famous Xiao Wei stood beside his wife.
He was wearing a crisp suit, his leather shoes were clean, and there was a white glow in the black, Luo Yi was wearing a white sleeveless gauze dress with diamonds, his face was not wearing makeup, and his hair was a little shorter than the last time he saw him at a partyโXiao Wei always brought his wife to a banquet, as long as she wanted.
Luo Yi sat on a sofa chair at the end of the guest seat, grabbed Xiao Wei's drooping arm, leaned on him, and smiled at the partner who was talking to Xiao Wei.
Yes, that's what it looks like to be loved. Xiao Wei held up a piece of heaven for his nameless wife, just because he brought her in from this social class, and he was willing to be responsible for her life, no, he was willing.
Mo Lang and Jia Li stood not far away.
Don't look at Mo Lang usually jumping out of the way than anyone else, in fact, he hates social occasions more than anyone else, and he doesn't talk to anyone at the moment, just lowers his eyebrows and says something to Jia Li, Jia Li sneered, his eyes followed Mo Wei who was practicing trotting around the chair with great interest, and sometimes turned to Mo Yi, who was following Xiao Wei's seven-year-old son Xiao Yi and calling his brother.
Childhood replaces mental uncertainty nursery rhymes here.
He crossed his legs quietly, watching the endless flow of people in the corner of the corner, he was wearing a light gray ironed and smooth suit, without a bow tie, and the whole person was in a very relaxed state.
Not many people know him, after all, he never likes to be seen on these occasions. He drank to himself. Mu Xin would not have thought that the most distressed person in his childhood at this moment was her, and the person he was most worried about was also her, and even he was ashamed to appear on this occasion as a brother.
Mu Xin saw that Cangye and Ye Li were standing in the corner - familiar and unfamiliar faces, both of them were rarely wearing black suits, and their hair was meticulous, but it seemed that Empress Yu had given them a holiday, and at this banquet, they had nothing to do, just like childhood, looking at people talking to each other and toasting each other.
In the end, when his eyes were sour, Mu Xin found Zhao Xi at the entrance.
He didn't seem to be interested, leaning against the door panel, talking to two foreigners in one and the other, judging by the shape of his mouth, one was British, and the other was probably German - Zhao Xi grew up in London, England, and met Empress Yu when he was studying in Berlin, Germany.
As if noticing her gaze, Zhao Xi sent her a flying kiss from the other side of the red carpet and raised a goblet. As always, he is suave.
At this moment, with a "Mr. Yu is here", everyone's eyes turned to the door - the autumn wind swept the leaves neatly, and the people looking down upstairs were probably going to laugh.
Mu Xin listened and quickened her pace towards the doorโshe wanted to know what he looked like on this day, and she thought about it for six years: what kind of clothes would he wear? What color bow tie to wear? What shoes to wear? What hairstyle to comb? What kind of expression do you have on your face?
But when his eyes touched Empress Yu, Mu Xin knew that there was no difference, the figure at the door was still so upright, resolute, and high-spirited, with the noble and elegant style of a successful person.
He wore a white tuxedo suit, a dark red bow tie like rose petals, white leather shoes with a dazzling white light, the same three-seven-point broken hair as before, and an expression that was not angry and arrogant as always, but the foundation covered the blue under his eyes, and could not cover the bulging eye bags.
Yes, the charm of a man in his Chinese New Year's Eve is still the same, last time he said on the phone, Ben four to Ben four, but I haven't changed much, life is like that.
At that time, she was thinking, if he is really old, the vicissitudes of life are written on his face, like a deep story, isn't it even more charming?
Mu Xin thought, the corners of her eyes slightly astringent.
It's just that she didn't know, and the moment she hung up the phone, he said, except for losing you, everything is fine.
The moment the two looked at each other, Mu Xin was taken into her arms, she panicked for a moment, and she looked up at the person who came. He didn't look for her when anyone came, and he appeared next to her as soon as Empress Yu came.
She laughed, "You've come at a good time." โ
Let her lean on herself, Lin Xu didn't speak.
No one can afford not to guard against Yuhou. He pouted with the smile of the victor and played the guest of honor at the wedding of Empress Yu with her, but both of them were emotional prisoners. Because of this clear understanding, the strength of his hands involuntarily increased.
