Chapter 21: You Provoked Me First
The man ...... stopped moving in an instant.
Tang Muen waited for a long time, until he heard the sound of shallow breathing in his ears, lowered his eyes and saw that he didn't know when Zhuo Zhuoxiao had fallen asleep, his forehead slowly sweated, his ink-colored hair hung down to reflect a shadow, the originally cool eyebrows and eyes looked particularly soft under the light, and the eyelashes were long and thick, and he had a strong aura when he was awake, and he always looked like he was unfathomable and unfathomable, and when he was asleep, he completely became a docile and lazy picture.
Tang Muen's heart softened a little, seeing that Zhuo Xiao's eyes were dark, he estimated that he might not have slept well in the recent past, sighed, and hugged Zhuo Xiaoxiao tighter, worried that Zhuo Zhuo Xiao would have a fever again in the middle of the night, and he didn't want to waste this time of hugging and sleeping, Tang Muen didn't dare and was reluctant to close his eyes.
She was afraid of waking up Zhuo Xiao, so she maintained a posture for several hours, and then her body became numb, and she didn't know when Zhuo Xiaoxiao woke up.
The room was quiet, the dizzy yellow light on the head of the bed set off the atmosphere warm and beautiful, Zhuo Zhuoxiao's deep eyes that had regained their clarity locked on Tang Muen motionlessly, and the complex expression on Jun's face was incomprehensible.
Tang Muen didn't care, raised her hand and touched Zhuo Xiao's forehead, the fever subsided, she breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out her arm from under Zhuo Xiao's neck and got out of bed and asked, "It's time to be hungry, what do you want to eat?" ”
"Just be light." Zhuo Zhuoxiao stared at Tang Muen for a few seconds, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, he was changed into a clean shirt by Tang Muen before, but after the fever subsided, he sweated and felt uncomfortable, he went to the bathroom to take a bath after saying hello to Tang Muen, without mentioning that Tang Muen treated his injuries.
Tang Muen's hanging heart let go, just deceive himself, no matter what Zhuo Xiaoxiao thought of her being different from ordinary people, Zhuo Xiaoxiao didn't ask, she avoided the trouble of explaining, and heard the sound of "bang" from the bathroom, Tang Muen didn't stay any longer, walked out of the bedroom and closed the door from the outside.
In the living room downstairs, Ling Pai and Secretary Hua were extremely tired, sleeping on the sofas on the left and right sides respectively, Tang Muen took a blanket and covered them on their bodies, and they didn't wake up.
The kitchen light was on, Tang Muen walked in and saw Wu's mother standing by the counter washing vegetables, seeing her coming, Wu's mother turned around and said respectfully: "Young grandma, is the young master awake?" I thought you should be hungry and was about to cook two bowls of green vegetable noodles for you. Immediately, the young grandmother went to the restaurant and waited. ”
"Okay." Tang Muen responded, and when he turned around, he glanced back at the middle-aged woman with gentle eyebrows and eyes under the light, she was a very dedicated maid with a good temperament, and the maid who could stay in the Zhuo family must have also received professional training and had a good upbringing.
Tang Buen did not doubt him, and when he walked back to the living room, Secretary Ling Pai and Secretary Hua on the sofa had already woken up, and when they saw the two of them, they immediately got up, "Young grandma." ”
"Ah Xiao is fine." Tang Muen asked the two of them not to worry, she walked over and sat on the sofa, her shoulders and back straight, her hands on her knees, and she had a good demeanor like a celebrity lady, but her eyes were cold, giving people a kind of deterrent power that was not angry and self-threatening, Tang Muen opened her mouth and asked Ling Pai, "How did Ah Xiao get hurt?" I looked like a gunshot wound. ”
Tang Muen gave people a restrained and indifferent feeling, but it was not to be underestimated, Ling Pai could only answer honestly, "That night, because Miss Mo Er's foot was injured, the young master accompanied Miss Mo Er to catch the murderer overnight, but in order to save Miss Mo Er, the young master blocked the bullet for Miss Mo Er. ”
After being injured that night, despite Mo Zhengning's obstruction, he found a medical kit in the car and pulled out the bullet on his right shoulder with a tool, and after driving Mo Zhengning away, he endured severe pain and returned to his residence here, also to hide people's eyes, after all, not all the people in the Zhuo family's old mansion were loyal to Zhuo Xiao.
After Zhuo Xiaoxiao took over Zhuo's family, he faced pressure and deterrence from all sides every day, and he couldn't relax at all, so he could only work with injuries, as if nothing had happened on the surface.
Tang Muen pressed his forehead, heh, they are willing to pay for Mo Zhengning's life, Zhuo Xiao's treatment of Mo Zhengling is really different, and she didn't even find out that Zhuo Xiaoxiao was so seriously injured, Mo Zhengning also concealed it that day, it must have been told by Zhuo Xiaoxiao in the morning, and Zhuo Xiao didn't let her know because she didn't trust her?
Zhuo Zhuo Xiao thinks that she will expose his injury to cause turmoil in the Zhuo family, is it good for her Tang family to take advantage of the fisherman? Yes, Tang Muen smiled dismally, and Zhuo Zhuoxiao was guarding her all the time.
"Young grandma, don't blame the young master." Ling Pai guessed what Tang Muen was thinking, and his tone was helpless and distressed, "Since the young master took over the Zhuo clan, a group of people on the board of directors have been secretly calculating him every day. They tried to empty the young master, the president, and then choose the capable person from among them to give way, so once the young master's injury was known to them, they would definitely use this to make a big fuss and force the young master to hand over the rights in his hands, and the Zhuo clan would definitely change hands at that time. And Jingjia ......"
"I know." The corners of Tang Muen's mouth sank suddenly, and he didn't let the Ling faction continue, the Jing family is the culprit who made the Zhuo family face today's bankruptcy crisis, even if Jing Haochuan is not for Jing Yao's revenge, Zhuo's such a big piece of fat, of course he wants to swallow it, Zhuo Xiao is in such a situation, once he makes a mistake, it will be difficult to protect the Zhuo family's century-old foundation, and I am afraid that he will face the end of the family being ruined and killed at that time.
This is Zhuo's fate.
Tang Muen remembered that night, when the old lady was dying, she took her hand and said, "Ah Xiao, you and Mu En must revive the Zhuo family." That's right, she must help Zhuo Xiaoxiao save the Zhuo clan together, this is her mission to come to the Yang World to go through this experience.
Tang Muen's fingers curled up slightly, a dark color appeared in his phoenix eyes, and the smile on his lips was cold and intimidating, "Then let's start with the Jing family first." When the time comes, the Jing family is annexed, who else in the Zhuo family dares to challenge A Xiao's authority? ”
Secretary Ling Pai and Secretary Hua were startled, Tang Muen was full of murderous energy, this feeling was very similar to Zhuo Xiao, they didn't expect Tang Muen to have such scheming and courage.
Ling Pai and Secretary Hua glanced at each other, they couldn't understand the young grandmother more and more, they thought that they were victims of the family marriage like the previous three, in fact, at this moment, the two agreed that this young grandmother would definitely change the shadow cast by the death curse of the Zhuo family for many years.
————
When Wu's mother came to the living room to call Tang Muen for dinner, Zhuo Zhuoxiao happened to come down the stairs after taking a shower, the man was wearing a black bathrobe, the belt was loosely tied, revealing the honey-colored muscles on his chest, tight and tense, and his ink-colored hair was half-dry, hanging down on his handsome eyebrows.
Compared with the paleness in the illness, the outstanding Xiao, who recovered his strength and spirit, put his hands in the pockets of his bathrobe, slim as jade, more like a lion who had just woken up, lazy and leisurely, with an ascetic breath all over his body, but the temptation was so great that it was difficult to take his eyes off.
However, Tang Muen only glanced at the past lightly, and walked to the restaurant without saying anything, and after a while, a shadow fell on his side, and Zhuo Xiaoxiao sat next to her in silence, and there was no conversation between the two, each bowing his head and eating noodles.
Zhuo Xiao flipped the golden poached egg covering the noodles, her slender eyebrows furrowed, and she glanced at Tang Muen, seeing that Tang Muen's poached egg had been eaten, Zhuo Xiaoxiao gave Tang Muen the clip in her bowl.
Tang Muen took the hand of the chopsticks for a while, thinking that Zhuo Zhuo Xiao didn't eat eggs, she didn't say anything, and quickly ate Zhuo Xiao's clip, and after drinking a bowl of noodles and even a drop of soup, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and waited for Zhuo Xiao.
Zhuo Zhuoxiao didn't have much appetite, so he put down his chopsticks and stopped eating after a few bites, he got up from the chair and walked upstairs, Tang Muen followed behind.
Arriving at the door of the bedroom, Tang Muen consciously walked next door, Zhuo Zhuoxiao called her, for some reason Jun's face was gloomy, but he said to Tang Muen very sincerely: "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome, it's my duty." Tang Muen responded lightly, and his hand unscrewed the handle of the door to enter.
"Huh, duty?" Zhuo Xiaoxiao suddenly raised his lips and sneered as if he was enraged, and took two steps forward to block Tang Muen between his chest and the door, he looked down at the woman who hit his chest, calmly and indifferently looking at him like air.
Zhuo Zhuoxiao didn't like this Tang Muen very much, he had nowhere to vent his anger in his heart, seeing that Tang Muen deliberately distanced himself from him, his face was even colder than just now, his deep eyes were full of sarcasm, and the words spit out from his thin lips pierced people's hearts like knives, "Your duty is to hang the title of the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhuo family, enjoy the glory and wealth you deserve, guard your widowhood, and live a life where you and I don't interfere with each other, but Tang Muen, have you done it?" You were the one who burned down the mourning hall on the wedding night, you were the one who destroyed Qianxi's tablet, and you were the one who threw Qianxi's photo out of the window last night, but now you talk to me about 'duty', don't you think it's ridiculous? ”
It's really ridiculous, a touch of self-deprecation floated on Tang Muen's lips, one by one, it turns out that Zhuo Zhuoxiao remembers it very clearly, and is ready to settle it with her at one time! It is said that the name that a person shouts when he is most vulnerable and critical is the most important person in his life, Tang Muen has always known Gu Qianxi's position in Zhuo Xiao's heart, she doesn't care whose name Zhuo Xiaoxiao called when she was in a coma with a high fever, she just felt very tired, wanted to sleep well, and didn't want to quarrel with Zhuo Xiaoxiao at all.
So she nodded, and said in accordance with Zhuo Zhuoxiao's heart: "Okay, if this is what you want, then in the future, I will hang the title of my Zhuo family's eldest and youngest grandmother, enjoy the glory and wealth I deserve, guard my widowhood, and live a life where you and I don't interfere with each other......"
"It's late!" Zhuo Zhuo Xiao interrupted Tang Muen's words, in Tang Muen's surprised gaze, he sneered and raised his hand to pinch Tang Muen's delicate chin, lowered his head and grabbed the woman's lips fiercely, soft and tender, he had tasted it twice, and this taste seemed to have been engraved in his heart for a long time.
Zhuo Zhuoxiao pressed against Tang Muen's slippery tongue, a black storm surged in his deep eyes, and between his lips and teeth, he said in Tang Muen's ear with a ruthless voice: "Remember Tang Muen, you provoked me first, but the person who said the end can only be me." ”
