Chapter 24

Thinking of Mu Hui's explanation, thin sweat oozed out of Xue Mingzhu's palm. Although it was so wet and sticky, she still subconsciously clamped her fists tighter, hoping to gain some courage and strength.

Mingzhu? Xue Mingzhu's silence made Xue Ci's eyes darker. His tone was lighter, but his eyes fell on Xue Mingzhu with a wrong mistake. Didn't the doctor ask you to rest more?

There is already a questioning element in this sentence, but Xue Mingzhu is now in a state of discomfort and has not noticed this point

Ah...well...I, I woke up just now... my mouth was a little dry, and I thought I would go down and pour a glass of water to drink...

Pour a glass of water and drink?

Xue Ci repeated it, and Xue Mingzhu nodded quickly

Then why don’t you go in?

The expression froze, Xue Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly

Just as she was thinking about how to explain, Lin Xiyun's voice came from behind

Mingzhu? A Ci? Why are you here?

Xue Ci didn't expect Lin Xiyun and Xue Mengwu to appear. After a moment of surprise, he nodded slightly. Dad, Mom

Lin Xiyun glanced at her son and took Xue Mingzhu's hand again

It’s cold at night, why don’t you wear more clothes before you get off?

Lin Xiyun's gentle tone soothes Xue Mingzhu's uneasiness, and also makes her forget the conversation between the two she had just heard.

My mother, don't worry

On this side, Lin Xiyun and Xue Mingzhu talked softly, and on the other side, Xue Mengwu and Xue Ci were already in the business.

The happy scene of the family of four is warm and warm at first glance, but in fact, the four of them have their own thoughts and their own plans, but they just haven't shown it on their faces.

elder brother……

Um?

Even when I was hospitalized, my sister didn't see me. You said, she won't know...

Will it be like this? Xue Mingzhu didn't say it clearly, but her eyes revealed everything

Xue Ci looked at this sister who had become increasingly strange since when it started.

It's okay, didn't I say that Chun'an had gone to see you? It's just that you were already asleep at that time, and she didn't want to disturb you to rest and left first

This is not the first time Xue Mingzhu asked Xue Ci this, and Xue Ci's answer is always the same

When Xue Mingzhu heard him say this in the past, she would smile with a forced smile and leave in a daze.

But this time she didn't do that

Brother, can you help me get my sister out?

Hearing this, Xue Ci paused when he read the documents

Do you want to see Chunan?

I want to see my sister

Xue Mingzhu held her hands in front of her, with a sincere attitude

I think my sister has a misunderstanding about me. Although something like that happened... I know that everyone is innocent. It's just an accident. I don't want my sister to have a grudge against me because of this.

Xue Ci's eyes moved down and stayed on Xue Mingzhu's wrist wearing a watch for a moment

Yeah?

Well, brother, can you help me?

Xue Ci did not answer immediately, but asked another question

Where is the road praying for prosperity?

This name made Xue Mingzhu's body become stiff unconsciously

Although the reaction was subtle, he did not escape Xue Ci's eyes

So he continued to test

If you want to be with Lu Qisheng, I can explain it clearly with my uncle and aunt, as well as my parents.

This sentence finally made Xue Mingzhu's calmness difficult to maintain.

No!

Realizing that his reaction was too excited, Xue Mingzhu bit her lip and took a breath and then said reluctantly: My sister and Brother Lu's wedding invitations have been printed. This will cause a lot of trouble.

You don't have to worry about these things. I am your brother, so I'm naturally considering your happiness

Hearing her say this, Xue Ci smiled

You can even give up your life for Lu Qisheng. I think your parents, uncles and aunts can understand it...

Not so

As if he was afraid that Xue Ci would continue to speak, Xue Mingzhu quickly interrupted him

I, I just couldn't think about it for a moment, because Brother Lu misunderstood, so I... chose such a stupid way to prove my innocence

The woman's slender and thin body is shaking, and a forced smile appears on her pale face

I finally convinced myself to accept this matter. Brother, please stop joking with me again, okay? The eyes blinked, tears flashed. I really don't want to be hurt again.

She begged

Xue Xue was trying on the dress when she received a call from Xue Ci.

It was caused by Mu Rong's hope that Xue Xue could attend a dinner with him

In the past, Mu Rong never participated in such occasions. The person who attended on behalf of him was Mu Ziyang, his old nephew, who was about the same age as him.

Mu Ziyang's father is Mu Rong's second brother Mu Tian, ​​and Mu Yidian's illegitimate son

Unlike others, Mu Tian was raised under Murong's mother Luo Xuefen since childhood, because Luo Xuefen once thought that he would never have his own children in his life.

Therefore, when Mu Rong was born, Mu Tian was already married and his wife was a geologist

Not long after, Mu Tian's wife also became pregnant

The child who was born less than two years apart from Mu Rong was Mu Ziyang

Unlike the Mu family who are obsessed with power and craving for plunder, Mu Tian yearns for an unrestrained life and a broad world that he has never seen before.

So after Mu Rong was born, he showed up with Luo Xuefen, using the power in his hands as a condition for freedom

In the next five years, with the help of Luo Xuefen, Mu Tian successfully escaped from the control of the Mu family. He took his wife and children all over the country, but died on a snow-capped mountain climbing. He left only Mu Ziyang, who was staying at his friend's house, was taken back to raise by Luo Xuefen half a year later.
