Chapter 5: If I Had a Choice

The first thing Yue Yuxiu did when she got home was to ask her granddaughter if she had come back.

The housekeeper knew that Zhong Nanming was hospitalized, and seeing Yue Yuxiu's gloomy face, he lowered his head cautiously, and hurriedly replied, "The eldest lady is in the boxing room." ”

At the same time, the housekeeper motioned to the servant to hurry up and serve tea.

Mu Xiangqing will practice boxing when he is in a bad mood.

A strong disgust appeared in Yue Yuxiu's eyes, and she said dissatisfiedly, "What have the good daughters and celebrities learned, and they have lost the face of my Zhong family." ”

The housekeeper buried his head very low, not to mention that he didn't dare to talk, and even lowered his breathing.

"Mom, who dares to make your old man angry?"

The tall Zhong Keqi walked in wearing a silver professional suit and carrying a limited-edition bag, with a shallow smile on his face with exquisite makeup.

Properly is the template for a strong woman in business.

She was followed by her husband, Hong Yuncang.

Even if he is over forty years old, he is mature and handsome.

Behind is their daughter Hong Antong, wearing the school uniform of Deyuan High School, with a white shirt and blue vest on the upper body, and a blue knee-high pleated skirt on the bottom, combing the princess's hair, dignified and youthful and energetic.

"Mom."

"Grandma."

Seeing her daughter's family coming back, Yue Yuxiu changed a smile on her face, but she was still very indignant, "Of course it's Xiang Qing, your brother is hospitalized, it's okay if she doesn't go to see it, it's okay if she goes to see it, and your brother is still angry with her, your brother also spoils her, as soon as she comes back, she will go to practice boxing, is this what a celebrity should do?" ”

Yue Yuxiu became more and more angry the more she talked, and her delicate makeup couldn't cover her gloom.

Zhong Keqi sat down next to Yue Yuxiu and patted her back affectionately, "Mom, don't be angry, you will be angry." ”

Hong Antong on the side lowered his head slightly, his brows furrowed.

And Hong Yuncang's face was full of indifference.

"How can I not be angry, if she is half as well-behaved and obedient as An Tong, I will be satisfied, I don't dare to go out to party with those old friends now, I'm afraid to talk about her."

Zhong Keqi said, "Mom, you don't still have An Tong's granddaughter." ”

Yue Yuxiu looked at her granddaughter, with a hint of comfort in her heart, and stretched out her hand towards Hong Antong, "That's it, my family Antong is fine, they are envious." ”

Hong Antong sat down obediently, stretched out his right hand to shake Yue Yuxiu's hand back, and said obediently, "Grandma." ”

"An Tong is also in his third year of high school, have you figured out which university you want to go to?" Yue Yuxiu put away her anger, and her tone was much gentler.

Zhong Keqi spoke before Hong Antong could answer, "Mom, of course Antong is going to Bei'an University, and the Department of Finance is the best choice, right?" An Tong? ”

Zhong Keqi's eyes looked at her daughter with a sense of command.

Seeing this, Hong Antong lowered his eyelashes and nodded, but put his left hand on his knee and clenched it slightly.

Zhong Keqi raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

"Bei'an is very good, your uncle and mother also graduated from the Department of Finance in Bei'an." Yue Yuxiu patted the back of Hong Antong's hand, "Antong, grandma believes in you." ”

"I see, Grandma." Hong Antong didn't want to stay any longer, she felt very depressed, "Grandma, I'll go find my cousin." ”

Yue Yuxiu's smile decreased by several points when she heard this, "Go ahead, talk to her, don't be so willful." ”

The boxing room was specially built by Zhong Nanming for Mu Xiangqing, on the left side of the back garden, about the size of a basketball court, and there are many sports equipment in it.

Hong Antong arrived at the door, knocked on the door first, but got no response, she was used to it, just politely knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in.

The door was unlocked, because the servants did not dare to come in casually.

And Yue Yuxiu will definitely not come, as for Zhong Nanming, he is very busy and rarely comes.

Mu Xiangqing was facing the door and was practicing boxing, and as soon as the door opened, she noticed that it was her cousin Hong Antong who came in, and in this house, only she would come, but ignored her.

Although Hong Antong thinks that it is not good for a girl to practice boxing, she at least has no sense of oppression when she comes here.

She sat down on the couch next to her and pulled out her phone and headphones.

Mu Xiangqing continued to punch herself.

Neither of them spoke, but there was no embarrassment, and they did their own thing quietly, which is the mode of most of the two of them getting along.

Until Mu Xiangqing was tired, he took off his gloves, wiped his sweat with a towel, and sat down on the sofa opposite Hong Antong.

Hong Antong took off the headphones, turned off the mobile phone, and raised his eyes to meet Mu Xiangqing, "Can you live in peace and save some face for the Zhong family?" ”

Mu Xiangqing didn't look at Hong Antong when she heard this, knowing that she was talking about the noon cafeteria, she took a sip of the teacup, and put it down before raising her eyes to look at her, "If you have time, you should think about what you want to do, you can only hide here for a while." ”

Hong Antong sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, sometimes he really couldn't see through what kind of person this cousin who was only two months older than himself was.

Sometimes she is very shrewd and transparent, and only she in the family can see that she does not want to follow her mother's plan for the future.

But sometimes she is like a time bomb, not knowing what she will do in the next second, afraid that she will do something to hurt her loved ones.

But Hong Antong will not deny that being with her cousin, who is only two months older than herself, is the most relaxed time for her, because she doesn't have to think about what she should say or not, and whether she can do it.

"Mu Xiangqing, now it's your business, you are an adult, you should bear the consequences for any decision you make, your uncle is very busy and tired, he is busy and sick, can't you let him save some snacks?"

Mu Xiangqing's red mouth hooked up a mocking arc, and lowered her eyelashes to block the bitterness rising from her eyes, "Then you care about him, everything I have to do with him has nothing to do with him." ”

Hong Antong sank his face, "Which trouble you have had over the years is not because your uncle has dealt with you in the aftermath, if you weren't the daughter of the Zhong family, who would want to take care of you, hold you and follow you." ”

"Heh, if I can choose, I don't want to be the daughter of the Zhong family, so Hong Antong, don't continue to preach to me, let's go, take care of your own business, and leave me alone." Mu Xiangqing's heart tightened, and there was a flash of sadness.

Hong Antong was so angry that his brows furrowed, but he was helpless, he stood up and walked out, but he stopped when he walked to the door, "It's your third year of high school, you should think about your future, instead of continuing to do those things that you don't know, think about it yourself." ”

As the door was closed, Mu Xiangqing closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa.

Future?

She has no expectations or visions for the future.

She didn't even know what future she had.

Hong Antong walked out of the corridor and met her mother Zhong Keqi, the anger on her face was instantly put away, and her voice was calm, "Mom." ”

Zhong Keqi's tone was cold, "What about Aqing?" ”

"Didn't come out." Hong Antong lowered his eyelashes slightly.

A hint of ridicule rose in Zhong Keqi's eyes, and the mockery in his eyes switched expectations, "An Tong, there is less than a year to take the college entrance examination, study hard, you don't care about Aqing's affairs, she is hopeless." ”

Hong Antong lifted it suddenly, her hands on the side of her legs tightened, and she didn't answer, she didn't know what she could say.

The bitterness in her heart didn't know if it was for herself or for her cousin Mu Xiangqing.

Zhong Keqi was very satisfied with her daughter's well-behaved, "Go back to eat with grandma." ”

"Okay."

Hong Antong followed, but still looked back in the direction of the boxing room.

The next morning, Sikong Jue walked into the classroom, obviously noticing that everyone was looking at him strangely, in fact, he noticed it when he entered the campus, and he could vaguely hear them talking about yesterday's cafeteria.

Now I saw that his seat was also pushed out of the way, obviously not wanting to get too close to him.

Sikong Jue pretended not to notice it, and went to the seat and sat down, these small movements were too childish for him, and he didn't care.

The eyes of the people in Class 11 followed Si Kong.

Someone couldn't help but sneer, "Sikong, if I were to be more interesting and go by yourself, it would be miserable to offend Boss Mu." ”

If one person speaks, there will be a second person.

"I'd like to see what happened to him?"

"Haha, I also want to, you have to stay up, I don't want to be out of a good show."

"I think he's an idiot, ugly in those black-rimmed glasses."

"Ugly men are bold enough."

"If there's a free show to watch, don't be afraid of this or that."

"You're right, no one dares to mess with Boss Mu for more than half a year."

"At the beginning, the son of the minister was bold enough to provoke Boss Mu, but in the end, he was not driven away, and finally the whole family moved out of Jing City."

Sikong completely blocked these words, opened the book and read.

Lu Rifeng and Mu Xiangqing walked in, and everyone immediately stopped talking and bowed their heads to do their own thing.

Mu Xiangqing went directly back to his seat, and Lu Rifeng looked at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen raised his chin in the direction of Si Kong.

Lu Rifeng suddenly understood, took the milk handed over by Chen Chen, inserted the straw and handed it to Mu Xiangqing, Mu Xiangqing took it and looked out the window while drinking.

When collecting homework, no one goes to collect the commonplace, when he is transparent.

Sikong sent himself to the office.

The first class was Lin Lanfei's Chinese class, she came in and saw Mu Xiangqing there, and then her eyes fell on Sikong Jue and looked at her before starting class.

After class, Lin Lanfei called Sikong out.

Except for Mu Xiangqing, who was sleeping, everyone's eyes fell on Sikong's body.

Sikong never got up indifferently and went out.

Outside the corridor, Lin Lanfei glanced at the classroom and whispered, "Sikong, if something happens, remember to come to the teacher, do you know?" ”

Lin Lanfei also noticed everyone's strangeness today, and she quickly remembered the incident in the cafeteria yesterday.

Seeing the genuine concern in Lin Lanfei's eyes, Sikong nodded even if he didn't need to.

Today, Mu Xiangqing didn't leave the classroom to find a place to sleep as before, but there was no movement, many people were puzzled, but no one dared to ask.

Lu Rifeng understood that Mu Xiangqing didn't take the matter to heart at all, he went back yesterday and made a lot of effort to find out that Mu Xiangqing's father had entered the hospital, and all she was thinking about was her father now.

And the people in the school thought that Mu Xiangqing was a stingy person who couldn't be provoked.

Actually, no, it's just that Mu Xiangqing never wants to explain to people she doesn't care about, even if she is misunderstood.

As for those she taught, they all deserved it.

Although Mu Xiangqing didn't mean anything, everyone was unanimously isolated, as if there was no such person.
