Chapter 88: Like Love
The way I get along with Mo Bai is completely different from what I imagined at the beginning.
At first, I thought that we were both forcibly united with a purpose, and that we were both covered in thorns and would not let each other get close to each other so as not to get hurt.
But after so many days of getting along, I realized that it was me who had thorns, and he was like a sponge that could contain everything about me.
Is it to retreat into advance?
Or do you want to fatten me up, and when the time comes, the new and old hatreds will be counted together?
I feel like I don't understand Mo Bai anymore.
The car slowly drove into the villa, and before it stopped, dozens of people were already standing bustling at the main entrance of the villa, including men, women and children.
The power of the black old three grass and nine aunts can be seen, and in comparison, I am really pitiful.
If I hadn't figured it out and risked my life, then I might still be struggling with myself.
But I didn't know that every move I made was thrown into the huge power of Hei Laosan, and it was impossible to stir up even a splash.
"What are you doing?" The car had stopped, Mo Bai didn't know when he got out of the car, handed his arm over, and looked at me with gentle eyes.
I reached out and grabbed his arm, got out of the car, and walked forward under his leadership.
"The young master is back." In the villa in southern Yunnan before, the old housekeeper who took care of Mo Bai's daily life greeted me and nodded at me with a smile, "Miss Bai, long time no see." β
I nodded at him in embarrassment, so nervous that my hands clenched into fists, and the toes in my shoes were bent, as if I had to penetrate the soles of my shoes and buckle into the ground to maintain a standing position.
The people in the villa all greeted me, greeted Mo Bai with warmth, and some greeted me and commented on me, my mind was blank at the time, and I couldn't listen to it at all.
Although I had done a good job of psychological construction before I came, I didn't expect to be so nervous when I faced these people.
Maybe it's because this environment is completely unfamiliar to me, and the people in it are all my enemies, so I'm like this, right?
It wasn't until I entered the living room that Mo Bai called me out that I suddenly pulled back to my senses and looked at him blankly.
"It's home." He smiled softly, as if to soothe my emotions.
I nodded, and looked around, the living room was not as big as it was, and there were three round tables in the center, on which the delicacies of the mountains and seas were very rich.
The people who greeted me before were all standing on both sides, and the chatter stopped, and the whole hall was as quiet as a tomb.
In front of my feet, there were three big red futons in succession, and the futons were embroidered with black patterns.
On the gossip-shaped spider web, there is a huge black spider lying on its stomach, its two eyes are blood-colored red, and it is domineering and exposed.
At the end of the three futons, facing the round table in the center, on the main seat of the round table, sat a woman upright, with a cold face and a dry face.
It's none other than Cao Jiugu!
She is wearing a brand-new black robe today, with two imperial scorpions embroidered on the placket of the robe, and the hem is densely covered with green scorpion patterns, showing a trend of worship.
Didn't see the legendary black three.
I looked at Mo Bai in confusion, and my eyes were asking, what is going on?
I'm back here today to prepare for the engagement banquet in a few days, and I'm also their family's daughter-in-law, right? At least one of Mobai's parents is going to be there, right?
Could it be that this matter is also going to be represented by Cao Jiugu?
I'm so naΓ―ve, I thought that when I went back to Mo Bai's house, I would be able to meet Hei Laosan!
Mo Bai seemed to see my question, smiled so gently, and opened his thin lips: "This is my mother." β
I was stunned by Lei's whole person, glanced at Mo Bai, and then turned to look at Cao Jiugu, I never thought that Cao Jiugu would be Mo Bai's mother!
How can it be?
Cao Jiugu turned out to be the wife of Hei Laosan?
Isn't this a ridiculous joke?
No, everything is very reasonable, Hei Laosan and Cao Jiugu are partners, this situation can be regarded as a marriage, right?
The two of them are a perfect match, it's just that I never thought about it in this regard, besides, Mo Bai is so handsome, and Cao Jiugu's face has become dry and deformed because of the perennial Gu cultivation, which makes it impossible to connect them.
It can be seen that it is still impossible to judge people by their appearance.
"How many siblings do you have?" I subconsciously asked, "Are they all as handsome as you?" β
Mo Bai but smiled silently, obviously not wanting to face this problem.
I sneered: "Why did you never mention to me that your mother was Cao Jiugu before?" Now that you are avoiding it like this, is there something unsightly that is difficult to talk about? β
"Xiaocha, since you have decided to follow me, do you have to accept that everything is wrong with me?" Mo Bai said as a matter of course, "Don't worry, no one will compete with us for favor." β
"You're the only one?" I shook my head, "Impossible, if Cao Jiugu is the wife of Hei Lao Sanming Media, no one will know, so ......"
"Don't say it, Xiaocha, this occasion is not appropriate." Mo Bai reminded, "Give your mother tea." β
After Mo Bai finished speaking, the old butler came over with a tea tray, and Mo Bai picked up a cup and handed it to me.
I stretched out my hand, knocked over the tea bowl, stared at Mo Bai coldly, and said word by word: "She is not worthy." β
"Why don't you deserve it?" Mo Bai asked me rhetorically, "If it weren't for my mother, you wouldn't be alive today, how can you say that this life-saving grace is not fake." β
"Heh, one life for one life, isn't it glorious?" I asked him?
"She exchanged her son's life for you, isn't it righteous?"
Mo Bai's words hit me at once, I once suspected that my brother and Mo Bai might be related by blood, but today's words confirmed that my brother and him are really twins.
"When your grandmother knelt in front of my mother and begged my mother to save you, my mother gave up her eldest son to help her former sisters, isn't it righteousness?"
"Don't say it, please don't say it." I yelled at Mo Bai.
He had never revealed any of these things before, but today, I am standing in his house, surrounded by his forces, and he can confess to me without any scruples, right?
If Cao Jiugu didn't have a living Gu, even if she wanted to use her brother's life to save me, there was no way, so the root cause was Cao Jiugu, not her grandmother begging her for help.
I can tell all of this, but after all, it was my brother who saved my life, how can I deny this?
I can only say that Cao Jiugu is simply inhumane, her own son can do it, and this kind of person will have to be retributed sooner or later.
"Xiaocha, don't make trouble, so many people are watching, even if it's to give your mother a face?" He whispered to me.
I looked at him, suddenly hooked the corners of my lips, and nodded: "Yes." β
Mo Bai's face relaxed, and it could be seen that he was still a little jealous of Cao Jiugu.
"However, I won't give her tea in vain, she must at least give me a greeting gift, right?" I said, looking towards Cao Jiugu, "What I want, she knows very well in her heart, when she sees the greeting gift, I am willing to ask me to kowtow to her ten times." β
Cao Jiugu's face was ugly, she didn't like me very much, and she didn't want me to be with Mo Bai at all.
At that time, I only thought that she was rejecting me, but when I found out the real reason, I almost died of anger.
Cao Jiugu looked at me, then raised her hand and waved it gently, and immediately someone stepped forward to remove the futon and sweep up the debris on the ground.
The people around him were also eye-catching, and immediately someone haha said: "The new daughter-in-law just came to the door, I don't understand the rules of our side, how tolerant the elders are, and the family is prosperous." β
Everyone echoed and sat down, Mo Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and led me to Cao Jiugu's table to sit down.
Three tables of people eat, so quiet that there is no sound of chirping, I don't care about these, which one I want to eat, I don't go to clip it myself, just muttering to Mo Bai.
"Mo Bai, I want to eat that braised eggplant."
"Mo Bai, I want to eat that prawn, you peel it for me."
"Mo Bai, this braised crucian carp is delicious, it's just that there are too many small spines, prickly your mouth, can you help me shave the thorns?"
β¦β¦
It is said that a coquettish woman is hurt, and since Mo Bai is going to get engaged to me, as his quasi-fiancΓ©e, there is no need to use it in vain.
Cao Jiugu obviously didn't want me to be with Mo Bai, I just wanted to call her son in front of her, show her, and disgust her to death.
She is not easy to have in front of so many people, Mo Bai is very useful, what I say is what it is, I don't know the inside story, I really think that the relationship between the two of us is like glue.
I had a good meal, and after eating, Mobai took me to the back garden for a walk.
His garden is not ordinarily large, there are many lights hanging in it, it is as bright as day, and a lot of flowers and trees are planted.
"Do you mind that my mother is Aunt Caojiu?" Mo Bai asked me.
"Of course, a few months ago, she almost killed me, should I still smile at her?" I asked rhetorically.
"My mother's temper is a little weird, it's mainly a problem with the living environment, but fortunately, she is often not at home, and we ......"
"What are we?"
I looked at him suspiciously, and he smiled at me, and stopped talking, which made my second monk confused.
What the hell is he trying to say?
"It's nothing, you don't have to talk to her these days, after all, you have to get engaged these days, don't be able to get off the stage." He didn't continue the conversation he had just made.
I shrugged: "As long as she doesn't trouble me, I'm happy." β
The two of us were chatting, someone came to call Mo Bai and asked him to go to the front to see off the guests, I didn't want to follow, so I sat on the side of the garden rockery.
Mo Bai just left for a while, Cao Jiugu appeared in the garden, when she came, I was squatting on the edge of the small pond next to the rockery to watch the carp, scared me a trembling, immediately away from the small pond, for fear of being pushed down by her and drowned.
When I faced Cao Jiugu alone, I was still a little worried.
"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're going for a walk too. I said warily.
"Leave Mobai." Cao Jiugu said.
"We've met before, and you didn't object to the engagement, why are you suddenly backlashing now?" I sneered in my heart, I guess I can't stand my toss, right?
"You're not suitable."
"Where doesn't it fit? Men are unmarried and women are unmarried, I think it is very suitable. β
"My son's future, I, as a mother, can call the shots, you leave him, I will give you what you want."
"What do I want, you say."
"I'll give you the rest of the parchment, as long as you disappear from my son's sight completely."
"Huh?" I looked at her in amazement, unable to believe what I was hearing, "Are you sure?" β
"I'm sure." Cao Jiugu insisted unusually, "Before you leave, I will hand over the half of the sheepskin scroll to you, you leave as soon as possible, don't wait for me to regret it." β
Although I don't know why she suddenly objected to me being with Mo Bai, the exchange of half a parchment scroll was still very tempting.
I thought about it for a moment and decided it was a trap.
Mo Bai is very good, of course, it excludes his background and the child's play of feelings, and in other aspects, he is indeed a rare talent.
Back then, he and his brother were twins, the two were born together, both were boys, and the reason why Cao Jiugu chose to use her brother to cultivate a living Gu instead of Mo Bai may be because she values Mo Bai more.
Now that Mo Bai has grown up, Cao Jiugu is even more protective of him, and she cares about his feelings very much, otherwise Cao Jiugu would not be so easy to compromise on today's tea ceremony.
So it was impossible for her to forcibly take me away in front of Mo Bai, but persuaded me to leave on this condition, but once I left Mo Bai's side, it would be difficult to say.
Therefore, in this territory, I must not stay away from Mobai.
After thinking clearly, I rejected her: "I'm sorry, to be honest, I don't dare to be interested in the contents of the remaining half of the parchment, I just think that this thing is not worth it in the hands of a person like you, and my ambition for it is not as great as you think." β
How could I possibly go? Xu Youqing, I haven't been rescued yet, I haven't seen Hei Laosan yet, and my brother's soul hasn't stabilized yet, where am I going?
"Bai Xiaocha, don't toast or eat!" Cao Jiugu took a step forward with a hideous look.
I subconsciously stepped back: "Don't force me, push me into a hurry, we will die and the net will be broken." β
"Don't threaten me with death, how long do you think you can live like this? Bai Xiaocha, don't push yourself to death, I advise you to stop in moderation. Cao Jiugu said as she walked forward, full of oppression, and forced me back to the edge of the small pool, and there was no way to retreat.
I originally wanted to fight with her for a while, I couldn't admit defeat, but at this time, I saw Mo Bai turn back in a blink of an eye, and immediately took it into account, grabbed Cao Jiugu's sleeve, and shouted: "Don't push me, don't want to drown me, otherwise I won't let you go." β
While shouting, the back heel slowly moved back, this kind of standard technique for female supporting women in romance, I didn't expect that I would use it one day, although I don't think so, but I also have to make a little splash, right?
Otherwise, how can you protect yourself?
Mo Bai heard the sound, and walked over in three steps and two steps, and at that time I was already in the air, so I was ready to plunge into the pool, waiting for Mo Bai to jump down and save me.
I was thinking at the time that although I sacrificed a little more, it was a good thing to be able to create a conflict between their mother and son.
But I forgot that Cao Jiugu is not an ordinary person, when I stepped on the air with both feet, she lifted me up with one force, one hand, my feet kicked back and forth on the water, and Mo Bai had already rushed to the water's edge.
I shouted at Mo Bai in a panic: "Mo Bai, you save me, I don't want to be drowned." β
Cao Jiugu glanced at me, stiffened her face, didn't explain, and let me smear me casually.
"Mom, what are you doing here? Put the small tea down. Mo Bai also became nervous, and his tone was a little rushed.
I know in my heart that Mo Bai's instructions should have been given by Hei Laosan, and Cao Jiugu only has the share of cooperation, from the point of view of my relationship with Mo Bai, Hei Laosan and Cao Jiugu's opinions are not unified, as for why they are not unified, I can't be sure at present.
Cao Jiugu met me before, and she didn't reject me so much, I clearly remember that she agreed to my engagement with Mo Bai, but she was very confident that Mo Bai and I would not have a result, and today's change in her attitude is probably because at the dinner table, my interaction with Mo Bai stabbed her eyes.
Is she afraid that Mo Bai will really do a fake show with me?
Hehe, since that's the case, then I have to stimulate her even more.
"Mo Bai ......" I called Mo Bai bitterly, forcing tears to roll in my eyes, full of grievances.
Mo Bai's voice immediately raised: "Mom, what good is it for you to kill her?" How do you explain to your father? β
This sentence reminded Cao Jiugu at once, she was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she directly let go of her hand.
Poof.
I immediately fell into the pool, and after a few flutters, I was about to surface, but Mo Bai had already jumped down, dragged me to the shore, picked me up and rushed back to the villa.
He carried me into the bedroom, which was large and had a separate bathroom, and he tucked me in to take a shower.
When I came out with my shower getting dressed, he was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for me.
"Are you alright?" He asked me.
"I can't die." I wiped my hair with a towel and replied, "But it's uncertain whether I will survive in the future, your mother doesn't like me very much." β
"I know." Mo Bai stood up, found a hair dryer, and asked me to sit and blow my hair for me, "Don't worry, she doesn't dare to really do anything to you." β
"Because I still have use?" I teased, "How long are you going to toss?" Can you have a good time? β
"What's the hurry? Isn't it good to enjoy life right now? "The hair dryer is the kind of silent one, which is worth a lot of money at first glance, and although the white voice is low, it can be heard very clearly.
I glanced at him, cut it, and asked again: "Now that I've come back with you, then, when will you let me see Xu Youqing?" β
"You're here, you've got to give me time." Mo Bai replied.
"I can't wait, the sooner I see her, the better."
My hair was dry, Mo Bai put away the hair dryer and brought a comb to help me comb my hair, he did it very seriously, like he really loved me and loved me.
"You'll definitely see her before the engagement feast, I promise."
"Alive, I want to see the living, otherwise, I will smash your villa."
Mo Bai laughed and said, "You are really promising." β
"Where do I sleep tonight?" It was the middle of the night, and I was sleepy.
Before Mo Bai could speak, someone knocked on the door outside, Mo Bai went over to open the door, and saw the old housekeeper come in with two glasses of milk: "Young master, you haven't slept yet, drink a glass of milk to promote sleep." β
"I see, thanks." Mo Bai brought in the milk and handed me a glass.
I didn't drink it, but held it in my hand, and I found that I now have persecution paranoia, for fear that Cao Jiugu would do anything about food and clothing.
"You haven't answered my question yet." I continued.
Mo Bai was stunned, and suddenly smiled evilly: "We still need to ask about our relationship?" β
"Be serious, Mo Bai, I'm ready to sleep, I'm here tonight, you can go wherever you like." As I spoke, I stretched out my hand to push him out, but as soon as my hand was on his shoulder, the door was pushed open again, Mo Bai didn't close the door tightly just now, and the butler's face appeared outside the door again: "Young master, do you have any orders?" I'm going to sleep without me. β
"No, you go to sleep." Mo Baitou didn't reply.
The housekeeper hesitated and refused to leave: "Young master, all the guests have left, and the rooms that have been cleaned up are empty." β
As soon as these words came out, I immediately understood that this housekeeper must have been sent by Cao Jiu Gu, who disturbed us again and again, probably just to keep us apart, at least not to sleep together tonight.
I would never have let Mo Bai stay in the room, and then swept to the wide Huanghuali sofa in the room, I changed my mind, reached out and put my arms around Mo Bai's neck, and the whole person pasted on: "He means to let you go to the guest room to sleep, will you go?" β
I have to let these eyeliners go back to Cao Jiugu, let her hear how close we are, and her off, maybe she can really let me go.
"Do you want me to go?" His white eyes darkened, and he asked.
I shook my head: "This room is huge. β
Mo Bai turned to the housekeeper and said, "You go to sleep, I will do my own thing, you don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
There were only two of us left in the room, and I immediately pointed to the sofa and said, "You sleep on the sofa tonight, don't disturb me, I'm sleepy, go to bed first." β
I yawned exaggeratedly and lay down on the bed, with my back to the edge of the bed, covering my face with my head under the covers.
Suddenly a piece fell beside me, I was so frightened that I quickly turned around, and saw Mo Bai lying on my side, I stretched out my foot to kick him, but he pinched his foot, I roared, "Who let you go to bed?" β
"This is my bedroom, why can't I go to bed?" He asked me rhetorically, rightly speaking, "You left me down just to show my mother and want her to be angry, and now that your goal has been achieved, do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" β
"Okay, you sleep in the master bedroom, I'll go sleep in the living room." I was about to go outside, but there was a knock on the door again, and a female voice was outside, "Young master, are you sleeping?" I'm here to bring you bird's nest. β
I'm full of black lines, Cao Jiugu is forcing me to explode on the spot, right?
Mo Bai smiled sadly in the back, and I had to open the door and bring in two bowls of bird's nest......
Then there was no way, he occupied the bed, and I had to sleep on the sofa, and the tempter came again and again, and it lasted for half an hour, and then I didn't open the door when I knocked again.
They may think that we are asleep, so they will die and stop bothering us.
In the new environment, I can't sleep, the wall lamp on the other side of the wardrobe is shining faintly, and the dark white breathing is very even, it looks like I should be asleep.
I crept up, no shoes on, and went out lightly.
I have to search carefully, maybe Xu Youqing is hiding in this villa.
