Chapter 20 I am Hu Xiner
The handsome man with a jade face suddenly turned into a killer with a knife, and the knife was pressed against her neck. Hu Xin'er was so scared that her legs were shaking. To save her life, she could only grit her teeth and say, "I am Hu Xin'er!"
If she admitted that she was not, wouldn't she be killed immediately?
Mu Qing said coldly, "You can't fool me. Hu Xin'er used to be soft-spoken and careful, and when her sister bullied her, she would only cry secretly. But since she was pulled out of the pond, her personality has changed drastically. Not only has she become lively and cheerful, but she also suddenly learned to paint, and her painting skills are so amazing. She also talks about marketing and advertising all the time!"
Hu Xiner wanted to cry but had no tears. If she had known that Mu Qing was a killing god, how could she dare to reveal so many flaws!
Mu Qing paused. "I don't quite understand what you're saying and doing. I was thinking I'd just let you do as you please. Maybe you just want a different way of living. After all, I don't know much about your past. But you just asked me if I wanted to leave the village!"
"When Hu Xin'er rescued me, I swore to remain anonymous and never leave the village for the rest of my life. So you are definitely not Hu Xin'er!"
Hu Xin'er quickly searched the original owner's memories and discovered that this was indeed the case. She secretly hated herself for being so blinded by the golden thigh and quickly said, "You misunderstood. I naturally remember the oath you made. It's just that now that I have money, I am afraid you will be embarrassed to ask for it, and you will not be able to find your parents and relatives, leaving you with a lifelong regret!!"
At the critical moment of life and death, her brain was working at high speed, repairing the loopholes left behind before.
She said quickly, "I did all those random things just to make a little more money and live a better life. You saved me, and I don't want you to suffer with me!"
How could Mu Qing be coaxed by her? "You can draw, and you have so many novel ideas. How come I never discovered it before?"
Hu Xiner learned her lesson this time. She searched her memory and confirmed that her original self had never drawn in front of him, and it was not that her painting skills were very poor.
She defended herself, "My eldest sister always bullied me at home. If I showed off my abilities and made her jealous, wouldn't she drag me out and sell me? I heard that the landlord of the Luo family is particularly wretched and has many concubines. He likes to find girls who can paint and paint those unspeakable paintings..."
The story of the girl who was looking for a painter was made up, but the story of the concubine being sold to the local landlord was true. She put herself in the original owner's situation and felt more and more aggrieved the more she spoke.
Mu Qing sneered: "Then why do you dare to paint again now?"
Hu Xin'er was speechless for a moment, so she could only echo what he had just said, "I lived such an aggrieved life before, and was falsely accused of drowning. I just wanted to live a different life. Was that wrong? My constant tolerance only resulted in further pressure. From then on, I realized that there are some things you can't avoid!"
Mu Qing's heart was shaken. Some things just couldn't be avoided. He wasn't as insightful as a weak woman like Hu Xin'er.
When a person experiences life and death, his temperament will change greatly. He knew this, but Hu Xiner's suggestion of leaving the village to find his family touched upon his hidden thoughts, and he overreacted.
He slowly put down the dagger, his thoughts drifting far away.
Hu Xiner escaped from danger temporarily. She breathed a sigh of relief, but her legs went weak and she was about to fall to the ground.
Mu Qing's mind was clearly wandering, but he subconsciously leaned forward and put his arm around Hu Xin'er's waist: "Are you okay?"
The affection they had for each other before was not fake, and he always protected Hu Xiner.
But Hu Xiner still felt a chill on her neck and was not fooled by the false appearance of warmth.
She knew clearly that all the treatment she enjoyed now was based on the fact that she was Hu Xiner and Mu Qing's benefactor.
If Mu Qing knew that he was a wandering ghost and had taken over the body of his benefactor, he would definitely send himself to see the King of Hell without mercy.
At this moment, his hand was on her waist, full of kindness and care. His handsome face was so close to her. In the past, Hu Xiner would have been intoxicated.
But she no longer dared to dream of becoming rich and powerful, she just wanted to live.
She looked at Mu Qing and asked, "Why did you save me? You still care about me, right?"
Mu Qing said nothing, just pursed her lips.
It seemed that her suspicions had not been completely dispelled. She sniffed, tears falling, and said aggrievedly, "I know you're angry. I'm sorry that you've wronged me by pretending to be my wife, but what have I done wrong? I'm already working hard to start a new life!"
Ever since she drowned in the pond, she has always been so sunny and confident, making people feel warm inside. This is the first time she has shown such a sad look.
Mu Qing was startled: "You..."
He wanted to say that it was not what she thought. Being a fake couple was just a temporary measure at first, but every moment he spent with her afterwards was warm and full of novelty.
But the more tender the relationship was before, the more hurtful the sharp blade was a few seconds ago.
Hu Xin'er is not a professional actor, so she can't cry in a pitiful way. She simply buried herself in Mu Qing's arms to brew her emotions, and rubbed her snot and tears all over him.
She felt sad at the thought of having to stay in the same room with this killer.
What a miserable life! I drowned in a pond right after crossing over. My career was just starting to get better when I almost met the King of Hell!
She couldn't stop crying because of her true feelings: "I used to be bullied by my elder sister at home and had to survive in humiliation. Now my life is getting better and better, but my husband who seems gentle on the surface wants to kill me."
Hu Xin'er's eyes were red as she said resolutely, "Okay, if you want my life, take it. I'll give you your freedom. Anyway, you won't have to worry about not having anyone to marry you now!"
She looked like she was going to commit suicide, so Mu Qing immediately threw the dagger on the table and hurriedly wiped her tears.
Hu Xiner cried and thought, you bastard, why did you throw away the knife just now?
This act of playing the victim successfully dispelled all of Mu Qing's doubts, and instead made him feel guilty. He felt that it was because of his suspicion that made Manxin sad for his own Hu Xiner.
Hu Xin'er's sobs gradually subsided, and she asked in a muffled voice, "Can you let me go?"
Isn't this a very polite and suspicious man? Why does he keep holding her waist?
Mu Qing quickly let go, and Hu Xiner slowly sat down on the other side of the table, picked up the flyers on the table, and prepared to escape under the pretext of throwing away garbage.
Before, she would occasionally indulge in Mu Qing's beauty, but now she just wants to get as far away from her as possible.
Mu Qing moved his fingers uncomfortably. "The portrait on the flyer must be removed. There are many ways to make money. I can go hunt game for you every day."
Hu Xiner was a little embarrassed. If Mu Qing was not on the flyer, the publicity effect would be greatly reduced.
She didn't want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune, but she was also afraid that if she angered Mu Qing, she would die.
Searching for the business cases from her previous life in her mind, she caught a glimpse of Mu Qing's bony hands, and an idea suddenly struck her.
She looked at Mu Qing: "I have come up with a solution that will satisfy both parties! Do you agree?"
The solution Hu Xiner came up with was to advertise in different parts of the body!
