Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Accident That Night
"I'm going to go out for a while."
Mu Xiaotong's voice was flat and said to Qin Yu, and then put a plate of finished chocolates in her hand in her hand, "You help me take these upstairs to Ling Yue, he wants to eat." ”
Qin Yu glanced at the chocolate on the plate, San Shao didn't like these sweet and greasy things since he was a child, but okay, maybe he liked it during this time.
Mu Xiaotong glanced down at the text message on her phone, pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and said, "I may not come back for dinner, if Ling Yue waits for me, tell him that he doesn't have to wait." ”
After saying that, she immediately turned around and left in a hurry.
"Where are you going?" Qin Yu looked at her back and couldn't help but ask her.
These times, this Mu Xiaotong gets along well with Sanshao, and she also respects her for three points, but she seems to be a little strange today.
Mu Xiaotong stopped, didn't turn around, and replied directly to her: "The people of the Mu family have made an appointment with me, and I will come back later." ”
Qin Yu frowned, "No matter how complicated your Mu family is, you must not do anything to be sorry for Sanshao, Sanshao is very persistent about his own things." She snapped.
She also heard that Mu Xiaotong pushed down her sister a few days ago and caused her to almost have a miscarriage. The people of the Ling family will not interfere in this matter, as long as the conflict of interest has nothing to do with the Ling family, Mu Xiaotong will not ask what the Ling family does.
However, if Mu Xiaotong did something to be sorry for Sanshao, as long as it was a little bit, the Ling family would not let her go. Especially her childhood sweetheart, the Ling family did not allow her to entangle with that man, and Sanshao would not forgive her for betrayal.
"I know I'm already Ling Yue's wife." She said lightly, didn't stay any longer, and left directly.
Regardless of whether Ling Yue was sick or not, the idea of being so exclusive in his heart was the same paranoia, and he asked her seriously just now if she wanted to dispose of Mu Xiaopei's child.
In his view, betrayal is an unforgivable crime, even for innocent children. So she didn't dare to imagine what would happen to this man if she really did something out of the ordinary?
Mu Xiaotong didn't think that Ling Yue loved him, his personality was too rational, almost ruthless, and he had a lot of emotional thoughts, which he didn't understand at all. So he only says what he wants to say and does what he thinks is right.
"I guess he knew he had run out and was about to lose his temper again. This man is really hard to serve. Mu Xiaotong got into the driver's car and muttered secretly.
"Third Young Lady, where are we going?" The driver asked.
"Sakura Western Restaurant."
Mu Xiaotong's eyes turned to the car window, and her brain couldn't help flashing past memories, the Sakura Western Restaurant in City A used to be her and Song Ruchen's favorite place.
I looked down at the text messages on my phone.
It was Song Ruchen who sent it to her, and she didn't want to pay attention to them, but ......
Hitomi, Xiao Pei's child is fine, you don't have to worry. Remember Sakura Western Restaurant? Can you come here? I have something to tell you, and I'll always be here for you. Hitomi, I'm sorry.
Excuse me?
She closed her eyes, these three words are so heavy, do you think you can forgive you for your betrayal if you say these three words?
However, she still wanted to know, so she decided to meet with him.
"Welcome."
Mu Xiaotong looked at the layout of the Sakura Western Restaurant, everything was exactly the same as when she had not yet gone abroad. The corners of her lips curled up with a sneer, and it turned out that the feeling of being a person was like this.
She had only walked a few steps into the dining room before she had already found the man's location. Just like in the past, she could always find him quickly and attach herself to him.
Song Ruchen still loves white shirts as before, and his whole person looks very refreshing, with a faint literati atmosphere. It makes people feel relaxed and comfortable to be close to him, and is as gentle and thoughtful as his personality.
As if sensing something, he turned around sharply, then stunned for a moment, and pulled out a forced smile, "You're here." Even his voice seemed as gentle as ever.
Mu Xiaotong half-lowered her eyes, answered lightly, and walked to the seat next to him and sat down.
"I ordered a tiramisu and iced orange tea for you, and the dessert here is still the same as before, you can try it." With a smile on his face, he reached out to take the food from the waiter and gently placed it in front of her.
Mu Xiaotong looked at the tiramisu on the table with fixed eyes, she remembered that her favorite thing to eat in the past was the cake in this store, especially this tiramisu.
That year, she was sick with a high fever at Mu's house, and Fang Mei said that it was too late in the evening and that she could only be taken to the hospital tomorrow. The maid saw that she had a high fever and couldn't bear it, so she called Song Ruchen, she remembered that he came in a hurry, still wearing pajamas, rushed into her room and went directly to the hospital with herself.
He was very considerate and stayed with her all night, coaxing her to tell her jokes. Song Ruchen is the kind of person who is not very expressive, so the joke he told that night was really cold, but she thought it was very good.
He looked sick and refused to eat, so he had to run to the restaurant early in the morning and buy a tiramisu to coax her to eat some.
His eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, Mu Xiaotong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at him, and said lightly: "I don't like to eat this kind of thing now, it's too sweet." ”
The smile on the corner of Song Ruchen's lips became a little stiff, he didn't know what to say, or he was not qualified to see her.
"Ling Yue is reluctant to put sugar when he eats chocolate, probably because he has influenced him." She said casually, taking it as an explanation.
He looked straight at her, and asked with some hesitation, "Are you doing well in the Ling family?" The voice was soft, with a faint repentance.
Mu Xiaotong's heart trembled suddenly, she didn't know what to say, her marriage to Ling Yue was a scam at all. She had just graduated from studying abroad, and Mu Qingtian called her to ask her to return to China.
At that time, she wanted to stay abroad to develop, but he said that he returned to China because he agreed to his marriage with Song Ruchen, and it was for this reason that she came back, but it was so ridiculous that she could wait for her wedding.
Mu Xiaotong raised her eyes to meet him, did not answer his question just now, and asked, "Why didn't you answer my call?" ”
Since the beginning of the year, he has not answered her calls. She has lived abroad for four years, and for the previous three years, they have been in a normal relationship with constant phone calls.
Song Ruchen heard her mention this point in time, as if he remembered something, his expression suddenly sank, and his eyes became a little trance-like but he didn't answer.
Mu Xiaotong chuckled, she picked up the iced orange tea and took a sip.
said casually: "Is it because at that time, you got involved with my sister?" ”
Song Ruchen stared at the ridicule on her face, only feeling dazzling. The palms of his hands couldn't help but ooze cold sweat, and he didn't dare to look at her directly anymore as if he was weak.
She put down her drink and looked at him with a sharp gaze, "Looks like I was right." Although she really wanted to scold him fiercely, when the words came out, the original ridicule turned into self-deprecation.
"Actually, the people of the Song family have always disliked me, because I was not favored in the Mu family, and you were with me before, just because you thought I was fun, right?" She pursed her lips and asked rhetorically.
At this moment, she really hoped that he would nod his head, and then dislike her identity like those dumb sons. That way, she could convince herself that what he had been doing for her all this time was just an illusion.
"It's not! It was an accident. He suddenly became excited, but in the end, even he had no confidence.
"Accidents? What accident? Mu Xiaotong asked, "You know my personality, I'm the kind of person who will knock to death even if I make a mistake, you say it's an accident, then you tell me, is it also an accident that you slept with Mu Xiaopei?" ”
Her words were sharp, loud, almost yelling.
"Do you know that when I was starving and suffering abroad, I didn't dare to say a word to you. I have been working hard to get out of the Mu family and live with you in the United States in the future. But what about you? Everything you told me is false! Is it fun for you to play me?! ”
When it came to the last word, the tears in her eyes finally couldn't help falling, she endured it for a long time, she was very persistent about what she identified. She could desperately escape from Ling's house to find him for him.
"You know how much I'm looking forward to that wedding. Do you know how shocked I was when I saw that the groom was not you! Why are you so cruel to me, you actually betrayed me with Mu Qingtian and them! ”
Tears fell big and big, she didn't want to cry, she only dared to cry in front of him before, it was because she knew that this man would feel sorry for her. But now she doesn't want to, Song Ruchen no longer belongs to her.
"Hitomi, don't cry."
He looked at the tears falling from her beautiful pupils, and stretched out his hand to help her wipe them away.
"Don't touch me, I feel disgusting!" She yelled at him and stood to her feet.
"Song Ruchen, I thank you for taking care of me in the past, but all gratitude ends when you betray me. We were cut in two. ”
She stubbornly wiped away her tears for herself, and looked at him with a sneer, "I really didn't think that you betrayed me and found my sister, depending on the situation, you have been in love for a long time, I'm really sorry that I have occupied you for so long." ”
What is Song Ruchen's character, she Mu Xiaotong knows best, if he doesn't love her, then he will never have a relationship with her, he is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. Therefore, they have long been affectionate behind their backs, but she is too stupid to see it.
She smiled desolate at him, "Song Ruchen, let's not meet again." ”
"I don't love her." He watched her back as she strode away and spoke softly.
But she couldn't hear it anymore, even if she knew, Song Ruchen lit a cigarette and frowned deeply with helplessness. When he knew that she was married to Ling Yue by Mu Qingtian, that fool, his heart hurt even more than her. That's the person he's always loved.
"The accident of the night......" he leaned back weakly in his chair, looking very haggard.
