Chapter Twenty-Three: You Can't Afford the Love I Want
"Send more people, we must find the third young lady within today!" A black sedan sped by.
At this moment, the rain splashing up the road suddenly splashed the dirty water on the pedestrians passing by.
"It's bad luck." Mu Xiaotong covered most of his body with an umbrella, looked down at the dirty stains on his body complainingly, and then looked up to see that the car had long since disappeared.
"Hell, those people drive so fast on a rainy day." After muttering a few words, she walked straight to a small convenience store.
Why can't I get through?!
Mu Xiaotong was in a convenience store at this time, and she took the phone in the convenience store to call a man.
It's a pity that no one has been answered.
Mu Xiaotong dialed for ten minutes, but still no one answered.
"Miss, do you need any help?"
The convenience store owner was an elderly woman with a kind and honest look, and when she saw her anxious look, she couldn't help but feel compassion and asked kindly.
Mu Xiaotong put down the phone in frustration and smiled at the old woman. "No thanks."
Just as she was about to walk out of the door of the convenience store in frustration, the old woman said meaningfully to her back: "Don't rush forward blindly, look back occasionally, maybe you can find something better." ”
Mu Xiaotong glanced at her a little strangely, and then she didn't stay long, and left with her feet.
Song Ruchen, why didn't he answer her phone, this phone number was specially opened for her, but why didn't he answer it now?
Mu Xiaotong didn't know where she was going, she knew that the people of the Ling family were looking for her now. She was very afraid of being found by them, but she was even more afraid that Song Ruchen would betray their love.
She and Song Ruchen are childhood sweethearts, they have known each other since childhood, although she is the eldest lady of the Mu family, but she has always been bullied by Fang Mei's stepmother since she was a child, and Mu Qingtian's father never cares.
When she hid alone and secretly cleaned her wounds, Song Ruchen would always sit beside her to take care of her and comfort her.
He said that when he grew up, he would protect her and prevent her from being bullied by the Mu family again.
He said that when she returned from studying abroad, he would propose to her immediately.
He said they were going to be together for the rest of their lives, and he loved her as his life.
But, where are you now, Song Ruchen?!
Mu Xiaotong looked up at the still dark sky, dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy rain poured down.
Holding a light green umbrella, a petite figure walked aimlessly on the cold rain road.
She thought that she must go to Song's house. She must find Song Ruchen and ask what happened face to face?
Why does Mu Qingtian say that he is Mu Xiaopei's fiancé?
……
"Ruchen, do you think this ring is beautiful?" A crisp and familiar female voice called back Mu Xiaotong's confused thoughts.
She looked at the precious jewelry store on her right hand in a daze, and in the transparent glass window, a pair of talented men and women were carefully selecting rings.
Mu Xiaotong's gaze became deep, staring at that side, not daring to blink his eyes, and walking over there with a little vague steps.
"Ruchen, look, I'm just right." The woman excitedly raised the diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand and snuggled against the man's chest like a coquette.
"It's beautiful." The man smiled and complimented.
"Ruchen, I'm really happy." The woman raised her head and kissed the man's face shallowly, looking like a newlywed little wife.
The waiter on the side saw that they were so affectionate, and couldn't help but introduce them even harder.
"Sir, it's rare for your beloved wife to like it so much, why don't you just order this set, and we can also have someone engrave your name on the inner ring of the ring. Bless you to grow old. ”
Mu Xiaotong felt that her head was a little drowsy, and her vision began to blur.
She didn't believe it, she didn't believe that everything in front of her was real!
It's impossible!
The man is handsome, and his smile is like a spring breeze, which can always give people a feeling of warmth and peace of mind.
"Okay, just the rings." He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaopei's forehead.
Mu Xiaopei smiled happily and buried his head in his chest.
The moment the man kissed the woman's forehead, the stunned beautiful eyes were shocked.
He actually kissed her?!
Song Ruchen is really with Mu Xiaopei?!
……
Mu Xiaotong only felt pain in his chest, as if he had been hit hard with a hammer, and his heart was about to break.
Why did she work so hard to escape from the Ling family?
Is it just to see with your own eyes that this old man who once said that he loves himself betrays the love she has been watching in front of her?!
Mu Xiaotong felt very cold, she was not convinced, why did God always treat her like this and was unfair! She wouldn't have done that, she wouldn't have cowardly turned around and left.
She Mu Xiaotong wants a clear answer, no matter how cruel it is, she must also understand it clearly, otherwise she will not be reconciled!
Song Ruchen, I want you to tell me in person that you have a hard time, and I want you to tell me that the person you have always loved is me.
Suddenly, the door of the jewelry store opened automatically, and a woman walked directly towards a man and a woman in front of the counter.
Such a posture immediately frightened the service lady in the store.
This is clearly like the main house coming to look for it, but in the next second, the service lady is even more affirmative.
The young lady, who had always relied on men happily and sweetly, was jerked by her and fell directly to the ground.
"Ah——!h Mu Xiaopei screamed in pain suddenly.
Song Ruchen didn't react, he looked at Mu Xiaopei intuitively, and wanted to help her up worriedly.
There was a snap, and the red and swollen slap was imprinted on the right side of the man's face.
Song Ruchen raised his head angrily.
Where did the shrew come from, who dared to do something to him.
But when he turned his head to meet this familiar and beautiful face, Song Ruchen also froze.
How did she end up here?
Song Ruchen turned his head weakly, not daring to meet her hot gaze.
Mu Xiaotong's rippling eyes are always so clear and black and smart, so beautiful that he is intoxicated. But now he really didn't dare to look at it anymore.
"Explain!" Mu Xiaotong choked up and said two words.
Song Ruchen opened his mouth in a daze, but he didn't know what to say.
"Hitomi." He only called her name.
"I'll let you explain!" Mu Xiaotong couldn't control her emotions anymore, she slapped him like crazy.
"Tell me, it's not true, tell me quickly!"
Tears spilled out of her eyes.
Mu Xiaotong never likes to cry, no matter how much she is wronged and how frightened she is, she doesn't cry easily.
But this time she really couldn't help it.
For her, Song Ruchen is sunshine, hope, and a warm home.
Why lie to her?!
"Song Ruchen, tell me quickly, this is not true."
Tears poured out as if she couldn't stop it, as if she had cried out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
"Don't cry."
Song Ruchen trembled with his right hand and wanted to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
He was really scared, because this was the second time he had seen Mu Xiaotong crying.
"Hitomi, stop crying."
Song Ruchen stood up and was about to hug her into his arms, but another woman quickly rushed over and pushed Mu Xiaotong away.
"Sister, you have already married into the Ling family, why do you still pester Confucian ministers. Could it be that the people of the Ling family would allow their third young lady to be so shamelessly entangled with other men? She spoke ill of her.
Mu Xiaopei stood in front of Song Ruchen, obstructing him from getting close to Mu Xiaotong.
"Shut up!" Song Ruchen couldn't stand Mu Xiaopei's ridicule of her and scolded her loudly.
Mu Xiaopei looked at him with an aggrieved face, and two lines of tears immediately flowed out.
"Ruchen, how can you murder me, I am your fiancée, you said you love me." Her sobbing voice, Chu Chu's pitiful appearance.
Song Ruchen was in a dilemma for a while, hugged Mu Xiaopei's body, and comforted her, "I didn't kill you, I just ......"
He turned his head to look at Mu Xiaotong, who was half-sitting on the ground, and his eyes were full of repentance.
Mu Xiaotong suddenly laughed, but this smile was even more ugly than crying.
What did she see?! This is the love she's been looking forward to, isn't it?!
It's so ridiculous, Mu Xiaotong, you are really stupid, extremely stupid.
Everyone in the store didn't dare to say anything, this woman in casual clothes was very beautiful, but her reluctant smile now really made people feel pity when they saw it.
She sneered like this, as if she was laughing at herself and indulging.
"Hitomi."
Song Ruchen's heart tightened suddenly, and he looked at her nervously, he would rather her scold him and cry to him than hear her laugh at herself like this.
Mu Xiaotong slowly sat up from the ground and stubbornly wiped away the tears in her eyes.
He straightened his back and stood in front of them.
"Song Ruchen, I used to fall in love with you when I was blind, but now you listen to me, you can't afford the love I want!" Her tone was cold and resolute.
Song Ruchen's eyes widened, he didn't expect that Mu Xiaotong would be so desperate to him.
In her clear eyes, he couldn't see the past, her attachment to him.
It made his heart even more alarmed.
"Hitomi, I'm ......" Song Ruchen's words had not yet been spoken.
Mu Xiaopei quickly interrupted him, "Sister, Ruchen is your brother-in-law, because I have his child in my belly." She smirked.
Child?!
Mu Xiaotong bit her lower lip and bled through the blood.
Well, that's good!
It turned out that there was a child!
"I wish you a hundred years of good union and never separate!" He said this word by word, turned around sharply and walked straight out.
Mu Xiaotong told herself that she couldn't cry.
Only cowardly people can shed tears easily, and only those who are lucky and guarded are qualified to shed tears.
And she has always had to rely on herself.
I didn't go to get the umbrella, and I walked through the rain with heavy steps.
Song Ruchen's eyes followed the beautiful figure, he just wanted to take a step to chase her, he couldn't bear to see Mu Xiaotong look so sad.
But the woman next to him grabbed him to death.
"Song Ruchen, don't forget, she is the third young lady of the Ling family." Mu Xiaopei's words stopped Song Ruchen's footsteps.
He didn't step forward to follow, only stared at her back until he couldn't see it anymore.
