Chapter 103: Another slap in the face
No matter how entangled Leng Qingxi's heart is, she still has to go home in the end.
It was late, and she pushed open the door, and the lights in the living room had gone out. Leng Qingxi walked lightly through the living room and towards his cabin.
She had only taken a few steps when she felt that something was wrong, there was clearly someone in the living room, and there were flickering cigarette butts flickering in the dark. She turned on the light, and sure enough, she saw Mu Xuncheng sitting on the sofa, obviously waiting for herself.
You can't hide from what you should have come. Leng Qingxi sighed and walked in front of Mu Xuncheng.
Mu Xuncheng had obviously been sitting here, with a lot of cigarette butts in front of him. It seems that Mu Xuncheng has been waiting here for a long time.
"Mu Xuncheng, you smoke?" It has not been a day or two since Leng Qingxi came to Mu's house, this is the first time she has seen Mu Xuncheng smoking.
Mu Xuncheng didn't answer, just twisted the cigarette butt into the ashtray in front of him.
Raised his head and looked deeply at Leng Qingxi.
Leng Qingxi was originally justified, she felt that she had done nothing wrong, so when she got out of the car, she was still cheering herself up, so that she could face Mu Xuncheng bravely, but seeing Mu Xuncheng staring at her like this, her heart actually beat wildly.
I don't know how long it has been, but between her and Mu Xuncheng, it has been a long time since they have looked at each other like this.
However, Mu Xuncheng quickly looked away, and after a long time, he finally opened his mouth to speak: "Don't you want to make some explanations for today's events?" ”
As soon as Mu Xuncheng spoke, Leng Qingxi's heart was half cold.
"I don't have anything to explain, I didn't do anything wrong." Leng Qingxi also turned his head to the other side and said stubbornly.
"Nothing wrong? Do you really think so? ”
"Or else? I don't think there's anything wrong with me going to a banquet, don't you take your female companion with you? Thinking of Ling Fei'er's smug gaze at her, Leng Qingxi only felt cold all over her body.
"Can you be the same as me? Since you are married to the Mu family, you should have such a consciousness, I Mu Xuncheng, what kind of occasion to attend, what kind of female companion to bring, it is all natural. And you? As my wife, you should keep your duty. Mu Xuncheng said as a matter of course.
"Is that what you think? Have you considered my feelings? This banquet is very important to me and very helpful to my career, so why should I give it up? Leng Qingxi argued with reason.
"Huh? Undertaking? What is your career? Is this how to dress as a courtesan? Mu Xuncheng pointed to Leng Qingxi's clothes and sneered.
"I'm not a courtesan!" Leng Qingxi said angrily.
"Isn't it? Otherwise, why are you so close to that guy surnamed Bai? What did he promise you? Mu Xuncheng picked up another cigarette and lit it and put it in his mouth.
"Nope! Would you please respect me? Please don't put your senseless delusions on me, Mu Xuncheng I have told you many times, I am not as unbearable as you think. Leng Qingxi was enraged by Mu Xuncheng's attitude.
"You don't want to be so righteous with me, Leng Qingxi, what kind of woman are you You know yourself, who sent you back today? I think you know it yourself. Mu Xuncheng also stood up and approached Leng Qingxi.
"Yes, it was Shi Zhong who sent me back, so what, if it weren't for you making me ugly to my face, if you hadn't said that to me in front of so many people, would I be so embarrassed?" Leng Qingxi vented all the grievances he received today.
"Mu Xuncheng, you always look invincible in front of others, but in fact, it's just to cover up your insecurity. You imagine everyone so badly, just to keep others from coming near you, no wonder you don't have any friends, no wonder you're always unhappy. ”
"You ......" Mu Xuncheng jumped like thunder: "Leng Qingxi, don't go too far, I just don't want to waste time on you anymore, you don't always challenge my bottom line." ”
"Do you think you're the only one who has the bottom line?" Leng Qingxi said disdainfully: "Mu Xuncheng, I'm really fed up with you!" ”
"Smack." A crisp sound echoed through the living room.
Leng Qingxi was knocked unconscious by this sudden slap, she only felt that her left side of her face was numb, and then it was as if she had been stung in half, and the pain soon spread to the entire left half of her face.
She covered her face and looked at Mu Xuncheng in disbelief, Mu Xuncheng's hand was still raised high, maintaining the action of beating people just now.
A line of hot tears flowed out of Leng Qingxi's eyes, and another slap, this was the second time Mu Xuncheng had done it to himself. She looked at Mu Xuncheng and said with almost all her strength: "This is the second time to hit me, Mu Xuncheng, why are you doing this to me, do you know how hard I worked to convince myself to stay by your side?" Do you know how much courage a person has to persevere? ”
Mu Xuncheng slapped him, and he regretted it a little, but now he has to hold on, and he can't let Leng Qingxi know that he regrets it.
"Hmph, this slap is to punish you for disobeying my yang and yin, since you are unrepentant of what you did tonight, then I will help you change it." Mu Xuncheng said with a deliberately blushing face.
Leng Qingxi covered her face and stopped talking, Mu Xuncheng's move made the little extravagant hope she originally held disappear.
In Mu Xuncheng's eyes, she is such a woman, mercenary, and even hooking up. No matter how hard you try, it's in vain.
Leng Qingxi glanced at Mu Xuncheng, who was short of breath, and suddenly lost the desire to argue for himself.
She just stood there, staring at the ground, not even looking at Mu Xuncheng.
Mu Xuncheng's reaction to Leng Qingxi was a little unsure of what to do, and the two fell into a stalemate for a while.
After a long time, Mu Xuncheng stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
It was late at night, and Leng Qingxi was still standing in place, not knowing that it was the careless subordinate who forgot to close the window.
At this moment, the night wind blew in, and the curtains were blown up and whirring.
The cold night wind blew on Leng Qingxi's thin body, and she shivered several times and hugged her arms tightly.
Leng Qingxi realized that he had been standing here for a long time.
She hugged her shoulders, sneezed several times, and returned to her cabin.
Sitting in front of the mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror.
It's really stupid, Leng Qingxi said to himself in the mirror, looking at the red and swollen half of his face, Leng Qingxi suddenly felt that all this was so meaningless.
What are you insisting on? If at the beginning, she stayed for the sake of her family. And later, it may be more of an expectation that Mu Xun City should not have.
Now, however, none of this matters. Now she is disheartened and just wants to go back to the beginning, and her life can be her own decision. Although he is poor, he is also chic.
She wants to go home, she wants to leave here, at this moment, this thought fills her whole brain, and Leng Qingxi can't think of anything else at this time.
She began to sort out her things frantically, no matter what kind of family business it is, what kind of Mu Group it is, all of which have nothing to do with her, why let her bear these things that have nothing to do with her. Leng Qingxi wants to resist, she wants to escape, escape from this place, she can't see Mu Xuncheng, and she doesn't have to be sad.
She took out the phone and dialed Leng Zhanglin's phone.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and Leng Zhanglin had already gone to bed. He was woken up by the sudden ringing of the phone, and when he saw the call, he suddenly fell asleep.
Since her daughter got married, she has rarely been in contact with herself. Today, she actually called herself so late, something must have happened.
Leng Zhanglin picked up the phone and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Brook? Why did you call so late, is something wrong? ”
Leng Qingxi heard his panting father on the other side of the phone, and suddenly couldn't speak, and all the impulses just now faded at once.
"Xiaoxi, what the hell is wrong with you? Tell Daddy. Leng Zhanglin shouted anxiously.
Leng Qingxi held the phone, but he completely lost the impulse he had when he called just now.
How can I tell my father about the grievances I have suffered for so long? Let him know how he spends these days, and let him know what kind of reality he insists on what his daughter does? Isn't this too cruel for Leng Zhanglin.
Her old father thought that he was living the life of a young grandmother in the Mu family, how could he have expected that he was worthless here.
When you go home, do you really want to go back? She fled in such a hurry, how could Leng Zhanglin explain to the Mu family? If you retreat now, your father's life will recede to the beginning.
Leng Qingxi, you can't be so selfish, you don't live for one person.
"Brook, are you there? Why don't you speak, you kid. Leng Zhanglin on the other side of the phone was still anxiously calling Leng Qingxi.
Leng Qingxi took a deep breath and called, "Dad." As soon as these words came out, Leng Qingxi's tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads.
Leng Zhanglin heard his daughter's voice, and hurriedly asked, "Yes, Dad is listening." What happened to you? At such a late hour, did you quarrel with Mu Xuncheng again? ”
"Nope." Leng Qingxi forced himself to calm down and tried his best to control his tone: "I'm fine, I just miss you very much suddenly and want to hear your voice." ”
"Really? Dad doesn't believe it, since you married into the Mu family, you never took the initiative to call me, something must have happened today? Wronged? ”
"No, there's really nothing going on, it's just that I dreamed of you just now, and I suddenly wanted to talk to you, it's me who is willful, at this time, you must have slept."
"Well, I've laid down, daughter, you're really okay." Leng Zhanglin still asked uneasily.
"It's really okay, you sleep, I'll call you tomorrow." Leng Qingxi didn't wait for Leng Zhanglin to agree, so he hung up the phone.
I can't go, especially not so unclear, the charges that Mu Xuncheng imposed on me are completely unfounded, if she leaves like this, the Mu family will definitely find Leng Zhanglin.
Leng Qingxi heard Leng Zhanglin's voice, and the whole person gradually calmed down, tomorrow, wait until tomorrow, he and Mu Xuncheng will be calm and calm, and he will go to him again, even if he leaves, he must go with dignity.
Leng Qingxi nodded to herself, that's it, everything will wait until tomorrow.
