Den.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Natsuki and Akiri walked in together.

"Sit down." Xia Zhengxian lowered his head at first, and after hearing the girl's voice, he spoke slowly.

"Hmm." Xia Muxi sat opposite Xia Zhengxian, and Qiu Limo stood aside.

There was silence for a while.

"Muxi, do you have time tomorrow?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Dad just wants to go out to dinner with you."

"No problem, but if it's just for dinner, it's good to eat at home, so why bother spending so much."

"It's different."

"Well, it's up to you. Dad is in for a treat, how can I not go. Natsuki smiled.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Hmm."

"Then you go down to accompany Nian Xi, I still have something to say with Li Mo."

"Okay."

After Xia Muxi left, Qiu Limo didn't know what kind of eyes he should use to look at the person in front of him.

"Didn't you decide to tell her the truth?" He asked.

"It's all on my lips, but I still can't say it."

"Since she has to face this matter, why make such an excuse, have you ever thought about how Mu Xi should react if she really sees that person tomorrow?"

"Yuqin just wants to apologize to Mu Xi and ask for forgiveness, there's nothing wrong with that, I believe Mu Xi will try to be considerate, after all, she has grown up and is no longer the little girl she was back then."

Qiu Li shook his head helplessly, these are not a matter of time. Her own mother died at the hands of that woman, and she herself was almost killed by that person, no matter how long it has been, she can't let go of it after all.

That night, when Xia Zhengxian returned home, the house was bright.

The woman in the apron roamed around every corner of the villa, cleaning the room carefully and carefully.

In my heart, there seems to be something flowing strangely.

"You don't have to do that."

"Jeong-hyun, you're back, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten it, I'll make it for you now. The woman greeted her warmly.

"No need. By the way, I've already made an appointment with Mu Xi tomorrow morning, so you can join me then. ”

"Really? Is Muxi really willing to see me? ”

"I didn't tell her directly that you were going to see her."

"Really... That's right, if I really told Muxi that I wanted to see her, she would have refused. It's really hard for you, Jeonghyun. The woman pretended to be very guilty.

"Okay, let's pack up and go to rest early."

"Hmm."

The next morning, Xia Zhengxian drove Xia Muxi out of the villa directly, and Qiu Limo didn't say anything, but he was thinking about something in his heart.

And the woman was already waiting for them in advance at the restaurant that had been booked.

As the father and daughter walked into the dining room together, the gray-haired, emaciated woman got up from her seat and looked at them.

The face that was originally smiling instantly condensed when he saw the woman's face.

Xia Muxi's feet were fixed in place.

"Dad, that person... It's Yuqin, right? "That face, even if it turns into ashes, Xia Muxi will not forget it.

“·· Well. ”

"Why is she here? She's out of prison? ”

"Hmm..."

"What I'm asking is, why is she here? Not a coincidence, right? ”

"Mu Xi, I arranged it, because Yuqin wants to apologize to you for what she did anyway, so I will..."

"Dad, it turns out that you didn't just want to eat with me today, but for the sake of that woman, did you make up this excuse?"

Xia Zhengxian saw the hatred and hostility in his daughter's eyes, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

At this time, the woman was already walking towards Natsuki.

"I'm leaving, Dad, I'm so disappointed in you." After saying that, Xia Muxi turned around and wanted to leave. However, her hand was grabbed by another hand.

"Muxi, don't you want to go?" A woman's voice rang out from behind Natsuki.

"Don't touch me with your hand, let go!" Natsuki shook off the hand that had grabbed her and shouted angrily.

This shout attracted the attention of the other guests in the restaurant.

"Muxi, this is a public place, don't be like this, okay? Let's sit down first. Xia Zhengxian said on the side.

"Dad, if you really care so much about the eyes of outsiders, then you shouldn't make such an arrangement."

"Muxi, don't blame your father, I asked him, because I want to apologize to you, that's why I asked your father to give me this opportunity." The woman's face was full of self-blame and guilt, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

And in her heart, she can't wait to make things as big as possible.

The current situation, in the eyes of outsiders, is as if Xia Muxi is bullying this old and frail woman.

"I don't want to hear the words sorry from the mouth of a murderer because you don't deserve it." Natsuki is spiky in every sentence. Apologize? Don't even think about it!

"Muxi! How can you talk like that, Yuqin has also paid the price, since she sincerely wants to repent, why can't she be given this opportunity? Isn't the price she paid enough? ”

"So what? Dad, you shouldn't forgive this woman, do you? Or are you and her together again? I remember you just said to me that you would never let this woman step into the Xia family! ”

"Muxi, don't talk to your father like this, Jeonghyun just looks at me pitiful, and he will kindly take me in when he sees that I am homeless, and he doesn't mean anything else." Let's just make noise, make trouble.

The corners of the woman's mouth pulled out a strange smile, but it was only for an instant, and it disappeared again.

"It seems so."

Natsuki smiled.

In her laughter, there was disappointment and anger.

"Dad, in the past, I might have made the kind of simple behavior that asked you to choose so-and-so, but now, I won't embarrass you, because I said before that I will respect your choice. From now on, if you can really let go of everything and really want to live with this woman, it's up to you. It's just that the father-daughter relationship between me and you ends here. That's my attitude, you should understand, right? ”

"Mu Xi, don't do this, since you don't want to see me and accept me, I will leave Jeonghyun immediately! You are his only relative in this world, you can't do without your father! I'll go, I'll leave! I'll leave your world with the stream once and for all! So don't say anything like that makes your dad sad again, okay? ”

"Don't lie on the sidelines, you think I'm going to believe your nonsense? Dream! ”

Thump!

There was a dull thumping sound between the knee and the ground.

The woman knelt in front of Xia Muxi like this, she pulled the corner of Xia Muxi's clothes, and tears had already crawled all over her wrinkled cheeks.

"Mu Xi, I beg you, take back what you just said, everything is my fault, it has nothing to do with Zhengxian at all, I forced him to help me, it's all me!" The woman cried and begged miserably, as if she were really repenting.

"I told you not to touch me with those hands of yours."

The already pale little face became even more bloodless because of anger, and Xia Muxi ignored the woman's plea, and stepped out directly with his feet.

Because the woman was caught off guard, her body lost her center of gravity and fell directly to the ground.

"Muxi, how can you do this!" Xia Zhengxian hurriedly helped the woman lying on the ground up, and then shouted at Xia Muxi.

"Dad, it seems that no matter how long it has passed, you will always look at this woman more important than my own daughter." It's bitter, it's so bitter, she's about to throw up.

A thin and so old woman suffered this kind of treatment, and the guests on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore, and they all pointed at Xia Muxi, and some were even ready to take out their mobile phones to record all this that happened in front of them.

At this moment, a pair of slender and powerful arms suddenly hugged the girl who was full of trauma in his arms, preventing anyone from peeping at the girl's face.

The man was handsome and tall, with a dark green military uniform under a black trench coat, and his handsome face was as cold as an ice cellar.

And beside him, there was a little guy with a lot of flesh, although he looked very cute, but his small black eyes were glaring angrily at everyone in the restaurant.

The appearance of the man instantly stopped the commotion in the restaurant, and everyone dared not look up at the girl he was holding tightly in his arms because of fear.

"Mommy, don't be afraid, Daddy and I will protect you." The little guy reached out to hold Natsuki's trembling hand, and his immature voice was full of firmness and strength.

At this time, the woman kneeling on the ground was no longer looking at Xia Muxi's body, but at the father and son who suddenly appeared.

There was a smile on her face, but this time, it was from her heart.

"Dad, are you done talking?" The man spoke.

"We..." Talk? How to talk about it? From the very beginning, there was just a constant quarrel.

"This result was also expected by me. In that case, I'll take Muxi back first. ”

"Wait a minute!" But the woman opened her mouth at this moment.

Qiu Limo looked at the woman with gray hair and wrinkles in front of her.

Perhaps, she should have been allowed to stay in prison a little longer. He thought to himself.

"What? Anything else? He said coldly.

"I..."

"Bad grandma, do you still want to bully my mommy?" Before the woman could finish speaking, she was directly interrupted by the little guy. Qiu Nianxi glared at the woman angrily.

The woman looked at Qiu Nianxi, immediately got up from the ground, and stretched out her hand to hug him.

At the end of the autumn dawn, the child is protected behind him.

"Although theoretically you are Nianxi's elder, I'm sorry, that was only before. And my child, I don't like to be touched by what he hates. ”

"That's right! Nian Xi doesn't like you at all! The little guy shouted behind the end of the autumn dawn.

The woman's hand stiffened in the air, and her throat seemed to be choked by something.

She just looked at the person in front of her, silently shedding tears...
