Chapter 92 is confirmed.
Li Mushi paused briefly.
Did Sheng Man come to see her?
Furthermore, the matter that he had Lin Mi investigate that morning had already been resolved by Sheng Man before he could.
This shows that Sheng Man had been investigating Zhuo Yueyue for some time.
Li Mushi was targeting the entire Zhuo family, while Sheng Man was simply investigating girls who liked her son.
Since the two people are going in different directions, they will naturally get different results.
“You’re shocked too, right?” Jing Ge looked up. “I’m just that shocked. Now that Zhuo Yueyue has been kicked out of the Zhuo family, if she wants to maintain her social circle and life, will she go to the Jing family to claim kinship…?”
Li Mushi: "I'm sorry."
Jing Ge stopped: "Huh? What are you apologizing for?"
“Suppressing the Zhuo family’s business is a minor punishment to serve as a warning,” Li Mushi said, his emotions unclear. “It was unexpected that she was not a biological daughter of the Zhuo family, so this minor punishment became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.”
They dared not go all out for fear that the Zhuo family and Zhuo Yueyue would act rashly and accidentally harm Jing Ge. As a result of this information gap, even if it was just a minor punishment, it still became a thunderous rage that crushed the Zhuo family.
The fact that Zhuo Yueyue was not the biological daughter of the Zhuo family meant that the Zhuo family would not bear the subsequent risks for her. The Zhuo family dared not offend him again and actually cut their losses.
Zhuo Yueyue was kicked out of the Zhuo family.
She wanted to survive, and she wanted a glamorous life.
She will definitely take action.
Even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse, and the Jing family is currently on the rise, so it's quite possible that Jing Ge would make such a guess.
“What are you apologizing for?” Jingge muttered. “Who knew there were so many secrets involved? Isn’t it all because of me? Don’t apologize—”
As she said this, she raised her eyelashes, her eyes clear and bright: "Womei's branch in Spain needs to transfer people from here to be stationed there permanently. At worst, I can apply to go there and settle down there. I can even find a handsome Spanish guy."
The man's expression was solemn, as if he was blaming himself for going too far and causing the situation to turn out this way. Jing Ge just wanted to lighten the mood.
He just blurted it out without any restraint.
However, upon hearing this, Li Mushi's gloomy expression immediately darkened, and his voice lowered: "Looking for a handsome Spanish guy?"
"......"
Jingge felt a chill run down his spine.
Everyone forgot that he was rigid and dogmatic, and that he shouldn't be making jokes like that.
The man's usually indulgent gaze turned angry: "Then what are you doing kneeling on my lap?"
Jing Ge's eyelashes fluttered: "Didn't you bring that over?"
Li Mushi solemnly replied, "Jingge."
How unpredictable can a little girl's personality be? One second she wanted to hug him, and he didn't even care that the car was still moving, so he changed lanes twice and stopped on the side of the road to let her hug him. The next second she could be in his arms saying that she was going to find a handsome Spanish guy.
"..." Jingge looked at his increasingly tense jaw and knew that he didn't like to joke about feelings. She couldn't help but lean her upper body closer and rub her delicate face against his slightly rough chin. "You were mean to me and even pricked me with your beard, but I'm very generous and I will forgive you."
Li Mushi: "."
The girl's skin was as smooth as tofu, and when she rubbed against his chin, Li Mushi was really worried that he would hurt her.
He cupped her chin in his hand, manually controlling her uncontrolled strength, and restrained himself with patience: "Don't joke like that."
Jingge glanced at him.
Her complexion had improved a lot; she was really easy to coax. In fact, she hadn't even used any of her coaxing skills.
Jingge obediently replied, "I understand."
She quickly changed the subject: "Anyway, I hardly have any contact with the Jing family anymore, so I'm not afraid of her."
These were just words to comfort herself and him. Her surname was Jing, and her father would come looking for her anytime, anywhere, so how could they not keep in touch?
Li Mushi remained silent for the time being.
Jingge has to overcome some hurdles on her own, such as her fear of Zhuo Yueyue and the shadow of her father's authoritarianism over the years. Li Mushi cannot bear these psychological problems for her; they can only be resolved if she overcomes them herself.
That's what reason told him.
But reason always vanishes when he sees her, so Li Mushi said, "If you want to settle in Spain, I can go with you."
Jingge's mouth gradually opened wide, his eyes wide with astonishment.
The man said very seriously, "This is my promise."
"......"
He clearly possessed ruthless methods and impeccable logic; he could have easily offered to help her resolve the situation, or assured her not to be afraid, that he was there for her. Yet, he chose to say something like this—
She wanted to leave, and he went with her.
It's like she's about to go crazy, and he goes crazy with her.
Regardless of the reasons, whether it's right or wrong, the path she wants to take won't be one she's alone on.
Wang Weiran said that when he does things that are contrary to his usual behavior, it proves that he has lost control.
Yes.
He lost control.
Even though he remained calm, indifferent, and unassuming, saying things that were completely contrary to his public persona.
At this moment, he was neither the head of a business empire nor the stoic and restrained uncle. Stripped of his charisma, he was simply a man who could be troubled by love.
He liked her, cherished her, and tore apart his values and principles, letting his free will succumb to her.
When Jingge returned to the dormitory, he was belatedly filled with terror.
When she wanted to break off her engagement with Li Zhan, she was incredibly disrespectful. When she wanted to change her fiancé to Li Mu, she completely disregarded his feelings and well-being, simply wanting to use him to escape her predicament at the time.
If he had readily accepted her advances and allowed her to continue living in the official residence, knowing full well that her feelings for him weren't romantic, wouldn't he have been driven mad by her? Wouldn't he have instilled fear in her...?
Wang Weiran replied: "Yes, if you don't love him, he'll scare you away."
After all, who knows how long and how intense the emotions have been suppressed beneath the surface? Once they erupt, Jingge might not be able to withstand it.
The calm and composed Li Mushi was her salvation during her sensitive period, when she lacked energy and could not withstand turmoil.
Li Mushi asked her to leave the official residence not because he cared about the rumors or her social status, but because he was afraid that things would get out of control and that he himself would lose control.
Wang Weiran said: "He's also worried that you might still like your ex, and if you change your mind and want to get back together with your ex, he's giving you time and a chance."
He gave her everything.
Freedom, choice, support, and the quiet forbearance he concealed.
Jingge was stunned for a long time, then suddenly realized something.
She was angry when she was hospitalized after her car accident because Li Mushi didn't come to visit her.
She even threw a little tantrum at him.
However, she shouldn't have been angry with Li Mushi. At that time, he was an elder to her, a reliable uncle. She even kept it a secret from her parents, but she was angry only with Li Mushi.
The change in their relationship happened so quietly that she didn't even notice.
It wasn't the suspension bridge effect, nor was it because he came to the snow-capped mountains to find her that she felt a sudden flutter in her heart.
The feelings had already begun to blossom long ago.
But she didn't notice for a long time.
Jing Ge replied to Wang Weiran: "I'm sure about myself, and I'm sure about him."
