Chapter 17 A Disagreement

Seeing Mu Cheng, everyone was stunned. A hint of panic flashed across Cheng Jiang's face, and he subconsciously wanted to let go of Lin Xiaomi, but he calmed down the next second. Lin Xiaomi hugged Cheng Jiang even tighter, as if she was afraid that Mu Cheng would snatch Cheng Jiang away.

Wang Xintong seemed to be afraid that Mu Cheng was feeling upset, so she held her hand tightly, as if to comfort her, but also as if worried that she would rush over.

Tang Nuo also came over with Xiao Jiu at this time, "Xiao Cheng..."

Before Tang Nuo could finish, Cheng Jiang roared, "Mu Cheng, are you with another man behind my back?"

Mu Cheng looked at Cheng Jiang and Lin Mi'er in his arms calmly, "The one hugging another person is not me."

Cheng Jiang's face darkened instantly. "You..."

Before he could continue, Cheng Hongwei stepped forward and said with a smile, "Xiaocheng, you misunderstood. Xiaomi sprained her ankle because of Xiaojiang, so Xiaojiang took better care of Xiaomi."

After saying that, Cheng Hongwei's gaze fell on Tang Nuo again. "Xiao Cheng, is this your friend?"

Mu Cheng replied calmly, "Tang Nuo is my eldest brother's childhood friend. We just happened to meet on the road. In my heart, he is just like my eldest brother. He is my family member."

"I see, Xiaocheng, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, don't be angry. Xiaojiang, you too, why are you arguing with Xiaocheng without knowing right or wrong?" Cheng Hongwei glared at Cheng Jiang, "Let Xiaomi come down first."

After saying that, Cheng Hongwei turned his back to Mu Cheng and winked at Cheng Jiang.

Cheng Jiang wanted to say something, but Wang Shufang walked up to him, pulled his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Yes! Haven't you been nagging Xiaocheng all day these past few days, worrying about her? Now Xiaocheng is standing in front of you, and you don't go and talk to her."

Cheng Jiang looked annoyed, but he still put Lin Xiaomi down as his parents wished. However, Lin Xiaomi stood on one foot, hugged Cheng Jiang's arm, and leaned against him.

Mu Cheng turned around and said to Tang Nuo, "Second brother, let's go!"

Wang Shufang immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mu Cheng. "Xiao Cheng is still angry with Xiao Jiang! You don't know what his temper is like. He's been worried about you these past few days, and he hasn't been able to eat or sleep well. Now that he finally sees you, he sees you walking with someone else. He feels uncomfortable, which is why he's acting like this. Now, don't be angry. Auntie will help you teach him a lesson later."

Cheng Hongwei also said aloud, "Yeah! Uncle is here. If he dares to treat you badly, I won't beat him to death."

In her previous life, Wang Shufang and Cheng Hongwei were just like they are now, always on her side and speaking for her in everything.

It was because of the attitudes of these two people that she made such foolish and reckless efforts.

If it weren't for this, how could she have ended up being eaten by a group of zombies.

She has now seen through these people and will never believe their sweet words again, nor will she be merciful to them.

Seeing Mu Cheng standing there quietly and not mentioning the matter of leaving, Cheng Hongwei said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back and talk first."

Mu Cheng nodded lightly and pulled Wang Xintong out.

Tang Nuo followed with Xiao Jiu.

"Hey! What's that? It looks a bit like a fox." Wang Xintong saw Xiaojiu following Tang Nuo and looked at him curiously.

Mu Cheng appeared and said, "It's a fox. We picked it up on the road. It has a bad temper. You'd better not get close to it."

Wang Xintong nodded and looked at Xiaojiu again. The snow-white fur made her want to touch it, but she didn't dare. What Xiaocheng said was absolutely true, and she didn't want to be bitten by a fox.
