"Brother Mu, thank you. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do." Mrs. Chu said, pretending to be weak and in need of protection.
She has a good foundation and has taken good care of herself over the years. Although she is in her forties, she still has charm. Coupled with her fragile appearance, it is easy to arouse people's desire to protect her, not to mention Mu Yuanqing who fell in love with her at first sight.
Looking at Madam Chu like this, he involuntarily walked forward, grasped her hand, and said, "Zhenzhen, I will protect you from now on, okay?"
"Really? Brother Mu, are you really willing to protect me?"
"I, Mu Yuanqing, keep my word. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, I will help you vent your anger."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu was immediately moved. She stood up and threw herself into Mu Yuanqing's arms, sobbing.
Mu Yuanqing hadn't expected Madam Chu to throw herself into his arms. His body couldn't help but stiffen. When he heard Madam Chu crying, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He hugged her and whispered, "Qingqing, don't cry. You still have me. I will make sure you laugh every day in the future, okay?"
"Really? Brother Mu, you didn't lie to me?"
"Why would I lie to you? Okay, let's stop crying. If you have any grievances, just tell me directly. Don't hurt yourself by crying."
Mrs. Chu also knew that she had to stop while she was ahead, so she stopped crying and hugged Mu Yuanqing tightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear.
Feeling Mrs. Chu's response, Mu Yuanqing felt very good. He patiently coaxed Mrs. Chu and asked her to speak out her grievances.
Mrs. Chu has cried a lot since her husband and daughter got into trouble. She used to cry at home, where no one saw her and no one felt sorry for her. Now that there was a man who cared about her, she naturally wouldn't let him go.
She half-truthed about the conflict between her daughter and Yunbei, and then described her daughter's crime and arrest as revenge by Yunbei and Si Nanzhao.
After hearing what Mrs. Chu said, Mu Yuanqing took a step back, widening the distance between them. Then, he asked with a smile, "Zhenzhen, how do you want me to help you? Should I help you get your daughter out, or help you teach Yunbei a lesson?"
"Me?" Mrs. Chu didn't know how to choose for a moment, so she looked at Mu Yuanqing for a long time without saying anything.
Seeing her like this, Mu Yuanqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that you are quite greedy. You actually want both of them."
"Is it not possible?" Madam Chu looked embarrassed, which made Mu Yuanqing like her more and more. He reached out and pinched Madam Chu's chin, looking at her with deep eyes, and said, "Okay, but you have to pay the price."
"As long as you can help me, I'm willing to pay any price."
"Are you sure?" Mu Yuanqing looked into Mrs. Chu's eyes, trying to discern her sincerity. He wasn't stupid, nor was he the kind of person who would just do anything out of spite.
Yes, it’s true that he likes Madam Chu, but he won’t do anything stupid just because he likes her.
Therefore, when he settled Mrs. Chu, he had already found out what had happened to her. He knew that her daughter and her husband had been taken away by the higher-ups, and the possibility of them being released was very low. Even if they were released, her husband would not be able to be reinstated.
As for her daughter, although a life was lost, with his ability, it would be no problem to smooth things over. But he couldn't just go to the trouble of helping her without getting anything in return, right?
Only fools would do things that have no benefit.
Mrs. Chu naturally knew this, after all, she was not a teenage girl. She also knew that if she didn't give the other party some benefits, how could they help her?
She had already prepared herself mentally when she approached Mu Yuanqing, which was why she said that.
"Sure!" Mrs. Chu quickly uttered the two words, then lowered her head, acting as if she was shy and didn't dare to look at Mu Yuanqing.
She was a person who put her own interests first and was not stupid. After Chu Zheng's incident, his future was bleak. If she continued to follow him, she might not have a good life.
As for Mu Yuanqing, although she didn't know his background, she knew that he could give her such an expensive gift as soon as they met, so he must be rich or noble.
If she could marry him, her future life would definitely be good.
Therefore, she thought that divorcing Chu Zheng and marrying Mu Yuanqing might be a better option. Of course, she couldn't bring up this matter right now. She had to slowly capture his heart and make him want her.
Mu Yuanqing had no idea what Madam Chu was thinking. Seeing her shy look, he couldn't help but smile and jokingly asked, "Are you shy?"
"No, I didn't." Mrs. Chu looked up at the other person, then quickly lowered her head, looking like she was saying one thing and thinking another.
However, Mu Yuanqing did not immediately ask for benefits from Madam Chu, nor did he plan to stay here any longer. So, he quickly let go of Madam Chu and prepared to leave.
Mrs. Chu was disappointed when she saw him leaving. Just as she was considering whether to take the initiative to keep him, Mu Yuanqing suddenly said to her, "I'm going to help you vent your anger. Be prepared. The next time I come, I won't let you go so easily."
"Brother Mu, don't worry, I will make good preparations and wait for you to come."
After saying that, she thought that Yunbei was not so easy to deal with, so she reminded him: "Brother Mu, Yunbei has the support of the Si family behind him, you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, I don't care about the small Si family. You, don't worry about these things, just stay here and wait for me to come find you."
"good!"
After Mu Yuanqing left, Mrs. Chu's expression changed instantly. She no longer looked drunk. She had always been a good drinker, and a small glass of wine wouldn't make her drunk at all.
Just now, she was just pretending and acting. She was still confident in her acting skills.
While Mrs. Chu relied on Mu Yuanqing as her backer and asked him to deal with Yun Bei and Si Nanzhao, Chu Feibai was not idle either and was trying hard to take down Qin Yan.
He tried to find opportunities several times but failed. Either there was someone else or Qin Yan refused to let him go any further, saying that he had to wait until they got married.
He wanted to wait, but his father and sister couldn't wait. He could ignore his sister, but he couldn't ignore his father. Because if his father fell, it would be of no benefit to him and would even drag him down.
Just when he was anxious, another opportunity came to him, making him ecstatic.
He swore that he would never miss it again this time.
Three days later, Yunbei officially entered the Qingshan Battalion next to the army and became a resident doctor.
The Yangcun Brigade received the notice a week ago, so they specially cleared out a room next to the village committee to serve as Yunbei's medical room.
The first patient Yunbei took office with was an acquaintance.
