Chapter 440: The Enemy Meets
Despite such a small episode, the dinner party started as lively as ever.
Leng Qingxi took Mu Xuncheng's arm and walked into the banquet hall.
As soon as Mu Xuncheng appeared, many people surrounded him, and the entire banquet scene was staggered, and Mu Xuncheng kept dealing with the people who kept coming to toast with him.
Leng Qingxi felt a little bored, so he leaned into Mu Xuncheng's ear and said, "I'll go over there and rest." β
She gestured to a seat not far away.
Mu Xuncheng nodded, knowing that she didn't like this kind of entertainment, so he let her go.
Leng Qingxi left the lively crowd and came to a quieter place next to him, and let out a long breath.
Sitting down, she sat here silently alone, drinking red wine, watching the excitement not far away.
This time, Jisen really invited a lot of people, and Leng Qingxi saw a lot of familiar figures in the crowd, including Wen Shizhong, Xianghai's boss, in short, the well-known enterprises in the city, were invited by him.
It seems that this Reddy's ability is indeed not small, and in the case of anonymity, so many celebrities have been invited.
However, Leng Qingxi also knew that if Mu Xuncheng knew in advance that it was Reddy's organiser, it was likely that he would not come back.
From Mu Xuncheng's reaction just now, she could see this.
Leng Qingxi thought that she was hiding here, she could hide for a while, who knows, she had just sat here for a while, and she heard the sound of high heels not far behind her.
Leng Qingxi didn't look back, she didn't take it to heart. Still playing with the wine glass in his hand.
However, the footsteps stopped behind her, Leng Qingxi couldn't help but be a little surprised, she turned around, only to find that the person standing behind her was actually Ling Xue.
Leng Qingxi's brows not only furrowed.
Leng Qingxi turned around, not wanting to have anything to do with Ling Xue.
But Ling Xue obviously didn't think so, she saw that Leng Qingxi actually ignored her, and walked in front of Leng Qingxi again.
Looking at Leng Qingxi, Leng Qingxi couldn't pretend not to see her anymore.
She said in a somewhat impatient tone, "Miss Ling, is there something wrong?" β
Ling Xue was not polite, she sat opposite Leng Qingxi all of a sudden, looked at Leng Qingxi and said, "Mrs. Mu, I'm really sorry just now." β
Ling Xue's attitude was still the same as just now, although she said she was sorry, but there was no apology in her eyes, but it was full of provocation.
Leng Qingxi didn't want to see her expression, and turned her face to the other side.
"Didn't you just say it's okay?"
"How? I see that President Mu cares so much, so I must come and apologize in person. Ling Xue said in a strange way.
"Miss Ling, is there anything else?" Leng Qingxi asked impatiently.
She really didn't want to have a conversation with Ling Xue like this.
I don't know why, as Ling Xue approached, Leng Qingxi's uncomfortable feeling became even stronger.
She just wanted Ling Xue to stay away from her as soon as possible.
However, Ling Xue didn't seem to think like this at all, she sat on the opposite side of Leng Qingxi, and she didn't want to leave at all.
"What? Mrs. Mu doesn't want to talk to me at all? β
"Is there anything we can talk about?"
Leng Qingxi asked in surprise.
She really didn't know what to talk about between herself and Ling Xue, the only intersection between the two was when they were in Xianghai before, and at that time, the contact between the two was definitely not a pleasant experience.
Leng Qingxi could feel Ling Xue's deep hostility towards her, and this hostility seemed to have penetrated into her bones.
made Leng Qingxi feel uncomfortable when he saw her.
"Why is there nothing to talk about? Mrs. Mu, we have had a few encounters. And our Mu family and Ling family also have heads and faces in this city, are you a little too faceless. β
"I'm sorry, if it's a business matter, I think it's good to let Mu Xuncheng and Ling Jiacheng talk about it. I'm not in charge of that right now. β
Leng Qingxi wanted to stand up and leave, but Ling Xue gave her a really bad feeling.
"Hey, Mrs. Mu, don't be in a hurry to leave."
"What the hell do you want?" Leng Qingxi finally got impatient, and didn't know what this Ling Xue yin and yang weird wanted to say.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask if you still remember Ling Fei'er."
"Ling Fei'er?" Leng Qingxi's heart sank, and as soon as he heard this name, Leng Qingxi suddenly felt a cold air on his back.
"Yes, Ling Fei'er, I think Mrs. Mu should be familiar with this name."
"Do you still need to ask me?"
Leng Qingxi frowned and said, "I don't think I have anything to say about Ling Fei'er. β
"Of course, you don't have anything to say, it was you and Mu Xuncheng who forced her to death, what can you say?"
Ling Xue looked at Leng Qingxi with a smile, but her smile was far from reaching the bottom of her eyes.
Leng Qingxi looked at her and suddenly understood her purpose in coming to her today.
"Miss Ling, I think you are mistaken, you are also a member of the Ling family, didn't the Ling family tell you the cause of Ling Fei'er's death?"
"Of course, our Ling family all know that Ling Fei'er was killed by you, do you know? You killed more than Ling Fei'er. β
"What do you mean by that?" Leng Qingxi looked at Ling Xue with a little pale face, not knowing what she meant by this.
If their Ling family thought that she and Mu Xuncheng killed Ling Fei'er, this matter would be understandable.
Because at that time, Ling Fei'er did commit suicide when she couldn't harm them, but now that Ling Xue said that Mu Xuncheng killed more than one person, Leng Qingxi didn't know what she meant by this.
looked at Leng Qingxi so surprised.
A vicious light suddenly flashed in Ling Xue's eyes.
She looked at Leng Qingxi and said with a smug smile: "You don't really think that the person Mu Xuncheng loves the most is you." β
"What do you mean by that?"
"Leng Qingxi, you are really, as innocent as ever."
Ling Xue said with a sneer.
"What the hell do you mean, Ling Xue, do you know that it's really strange that you came to me like this for no reason."
"Is it strange? I have something even stranger to tell you. Ling Xue looked at Leng Qingxi proudly and continued, "You don't really think that the woman Mu Xuncheng loves the most is you, right? β
"I'm telling you, you're naΓ―ve. You can go and ask, Mu Xuncheng, has he forgotten Ling Zhi'er. β
"Ling Zhi'er?" Leng Qingxi's heart trembled, in fact, this was not the first time Leng Qingxi had heard of this name.
The name Ling Zhi'er had been said in Mu Xuncheng's mouth more than once.
Of course, it was all when Mu Xuncheng himself was unconscious, in fact, Leng Qingxi had always been curious about what was going on with this Ling Zhi'er.
From the name, she can know that this Ling Zhi'er must be inextricably linked with the Ling family.
However, Leng Qingxi knew that this might be a minefield in Muxun City, a field that he should not touch.
So, although she was curious, she never paid too much attention to it.
Later, this person gradually faded from Leng Qingxi's memory.
This time, when Ling Xue suddenly mentioned it, those curiosities from the past came to mind again. Ling Xue saw that her words really attracted Leng Qingxi's attention, and she said with a smile, "What? Curious? Want to know what's going on? If you know the truth, you won't feel that the person you love most in Mu Xuncheng is you. In Mu Xuncheng's life, the person he loves will always be Ling Zhi'er, and the person he is most sorry for is also Ling Zhi'er. β
"This Ling Zhi'er is also a member of your Ling family?"
Leng Qingxi muttered, she suddenly became a little unconfident, because she remembered that Mu Xuncheng, who was drunk at that time, was indeed shouting Ling Zhi'er's name.
"That's right, she is Ling Fei'er's sister." When talking about this, the expression on Ling Xue's face became a little distorted.
Leng Qingxi noticed the expression on Ling Xue's face, and she asked a little strangely, "It's Ling Fei'er's sister, shouldn't it be your sister too?" β
"That's right, she's my sister." Ling Xue finished saying this word by word, but the expression on her face was not relaxed because of this.
"In fact, for the specific details, you should ask Mu Xuncheng, only Mu Xuncheng can tell you everything."
Ling Xue still said gloomily.
Leng Qingxi was silent, in fact, she knew more or less about Ling Zhi'er, but when she heard Ling Xue say this today, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if it was something that originally belonged to her, but she was suddenly told that it was not actually her own, and that kind of loss was really indescribable.
She really wanted to ask Mu Xuncheng what was going on now.
But she thought about it again and couldn't help asking, "Why do you know so clearly, haven't you been abroad all the time?" Why do I have a feeling that you know everything every time, Ling Xue, what do you know? β
Ling Xue was also a little flustered when Leng Qingxi suddenly asked like this.
"I ...... Of course I know all about it. For the first time, Ling Xue said a little unnaturally: "I am their sister, of course I know all these things clearly." β
"No, haven't we met, why do I have a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu every time I see you."
Leng Qingxi still looked at Ling Xue suspiciously, and didn't listen to Ling Xue's weak explanation at all.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Ling Xue shook her head and said.
"I don't know why, but I always feel like you're someone I know. Especially like right now, you look at the way I look. β
Leng Qingxi looked at Ling Xue's eyes and said.
"Inexplicable."
Ling Xue quickly looked away from her gaze and stopped looking at Leng Qingxi.
Leng Qingxi is still trying to remember something.
