Chapter 81: Confrontation at the Xun Family
"Brother Jingyuan! Why are you here?!"
Xun Mo was shocked.
Yu Jingyuan strode closer and bent down to pick up the bracelet. Only then did Xun Mo let go.
He helped Xia Cheng up, his eyes falling on the red mark on the chin, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he looked at Xun Mo, feeling a little annoyed.
"Xun Mo, is there anything that can't be said calmly? Do you really have to use force?"
"Brother Jingyuan, why are you here?"
"I don't think my private life needs to be explained to you."
"Can--"
Xun Mo's voice suddenly paused, and her eyes were fixed on Jing Yuan's neck for a long time. Because he buttoned the wrong button, the red mark on the skin was revealed. It was such a deep strawberry mark, it would be strange if Xun Mo couldn't see it. Her tone became sharp and she threw the bag in her hand to Xia Cheng.
"Xia Cheng! Ahhh! You are so shameless! You are shameless!"
Yu Jingyuan took a step forward to block the bag for Xia Cheng. The familiar smell enveloped Xia Cheng and he held her in his arms.
Xia Cheng saw the marks on Yu Jingyuan's neck and leaned on Yu Jingyuan's arms. Her eyes deepened, and shot clear and sharp glances at Xun Mo. She raised her eyebrows, as if to say: You guessed right, so what?
Half of Xun Mo's body was numb, and tears as big as beans instantly covered her entire face. She pushed a few times, but because Yu Jingyuan protected her and didn't hit Xia Cheng, she couldn't even speak.
This time she was smart. She knew that she would gain nothing by fighting with Xia Cheng, so she simply gave up the bag and murmured, "Brother Jingyuan, how could you do this to me..." before turning around and leaving.
She didn't close the door, and her footsteps were hurried and flustered.
Yu Jingyuan then released Xia Cheng from his arms. Seeing that Xia Cheng looked dazed, he thought she was frightened, so he tried to comfort her and gently held her shoulders.
"Don't be afraid. Who I'm with is my business. I won't let anyone else blame you anymore."
In fact, Xia Cheng was thinking that Yu Jingyuan’s shoulders were so broad and his embrace was so warm, he was like the sun.
Xia Cheng deliberately let Xun Mo in and deliberately let her see this scene.
Xun Mo must have been troubled for a while by the dispute that happened some time ago, but Xun Youdong did not allow Xia Cheng and Yu Jingyuan to be together, so Xun Mo may have felt relieved.
But she refused to let her sister feel at ease. The moment she saw her tears, she felt indescribably happy.
Xun Mo, it must be very painful to see something that originally belonged to you being taken away.
Xia Cheng was lost in thought when Yu Jingyuan shook him twice. He looked up and met his light brown eyes. He buttoned up his black shirt for him attentively.
Yu Jingyuan spoke again: "I will take you home to meet my parents now."
Xia Cheng's eyelids twitched twice.
"No rush...ah, Xun Mo rushed out like this, will she be upset? Otherwise, you go and comfort her first? I'm afraid something will happen to her..."
"Are you sure you want me to go?"
"It's better for you to go. If you find her, comfort her a little... I won't follow you to avoid upsetting her again."
Yu Jingyuan sighed. He really didn't know where to look for her, and he didn't expect Xia Cheng to push him out.
However, after Xia Cheng reminded him, he realized that Xun Mo was indeed easily excited. She had been like this when they were little. Because he and Xun Sheng played too well together and neglected her, she even got jealous of her brother. She secretly climbed up a tree and hid there for the whole morning, watching them search back and forth before she climbed down with her hands on her hips.
After buttoning his clothes, he agreed to go out and find Xun Mo.
After the person left, Xia Cheng gently closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
She used her foot to move Xun Mo's bag aside, sat back at the dining table, and when she saw the two bowls of clumping noodles, she lost her appetite.
*
At eight o'clock in the evening, after dinner, Xia Cheng received a call from the housekeeper.
She already knew what would happen. With Xun Mo's personality, she would definitely go and complain, but why was she asking her to go back now?
When she returned home, she saw the living room was brightly lit. Xun Youdong and He Qing were sitting on two long sofas, one on each side, and Yu Jingyuan was sitting on the other. Xun Mo was alone, leaning on the single sofa in the middle, hugging a pillow.
It seems that Yu Jingyuan talked with his parents for a long time.
Xia Cheng's appearance undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." She hesitated and sat next to Yu Jingyuan.
As soon as his butt landed, he heard Xun Youdong snort coldly.
"You still know I'm your dad."
Xia Cheng licked her lips.
"Of course I know."
"Where is your situation at?"
When Xia Cheng heard him ask this, she knew that Yu Jingyuan had selectively retained some of their relationship.
However, because she had not reconciled her testimony in advance, she had difficulty answering.
"Yu Jingyuan came to my house for something, not what Xun Mo saw."
Xun Mo hugged the pillow tightly. She came to this conclusion after seeing the marks on Yu Jingyuan's body and Xia Cheng's pajamas. Who in their right mind would stay home dressed like this with an unfamiliar member of the opposite sex?
Thinking of this, she said it out loud. In fact, she had already complained to Xun Youdong about these things before Xia Cheng came.
However, it also brought a sense of embarrassment to Yu Jingyuan. He was not a member of their family, but his private life was exposed.
Xun Mo had no idea that she was always self-centered.
In fact, the red mark was not located high, just above the collarbone. The few people could not see anything now, so Xun Youdong focused his firepower on Xia Cheng.
"Tell me what happened."
Xia Cheng remained silent, and Yu Jingyuan spoke for her.
"Uncle Xun, first of all, Xia Cheng and I didn't have anything like what Xun Mo said. Secondly, it's my freedom to be with whoever I want, and I also have the right to pursue love."
He was covering for her, and even he could see the bias, yet he was ignored by his family for two years.
In order to protect Xia Cheng's reputation, he could only say this.
Xun Mo obviously didn't believe it. When she thought about it carefully, she felt that everything was suspicious. Wherever Xia Cheng appeared, Yu Jingyuan's eyes would always follow the sister named after her.
Because of what Xia Cheng said during their last conflict, she no longer believed that there was nothing going on between them.
But, even if Yu Jingyuan admitted it, what would happen? She secretly hoped that her father would break up Xia Cheng and Yu Jingyuan.
He can only be his own.
When she was a child, others laughed at her for being picked up, and Xun Sheng would tell her not to care about it. Yu Jingyuan would take her to slide and build sand castles. On those days when she had no friends, Yu Jingyuan would whisper that Xun Mo was the cutest girl in the world and that everyone would like her in the future.
How come he is the first one to dislike her after growing up?
She bit her lower lip unwillingly, and her eyes fell sarcastically on the two people sitting next to each other. They were an eye-catching pair. Xun Mo began to cry again. She felt heartbroken, and with rapid breathing, she threw down the pillow and rushed over angrily.
"It's you! You stole my brother Jingyuan!"
