Chapter 94 Alibi
When Zhao Keqiong learned about Huo Min's handling of the matter.
Furious: "Donna was not involved? You believe this nonsense?!"
Huo Min did not respond, but glanced at Mu Yuan who was sitting next to him with his black eyes.
The kettle boiled, and the glass lid rattled with the steam.
But she seemed unaware, her eyelashes drooping, not knowing what she was thinking.
It was not until the lid was lifted that she frantically turned off the power as if startled.
Huo Min withdrew his gaze.
She laughed at herself in her heart: No matter what she was thinking about, it would not be related to him. Perhaps, she was thinking about that A Yao?
After all, she cried so pitifully in her dream.
He sent people to check, but they didn't find any A Yao among her classmates or friends, not even anyone with the word Yao in their names.
This man is particularly mysterious.
But he haunted her dreams and was so unforgettable that she cried for him in her dreams for five years.
He had never met this man, but he was full of jealousy towards him.
The jealousy washed over his mind and made his chest ache.
Five years? Is it so hard to let go, so unforgettable?
He didn't know whether, like Gu Chenyi, they had met in a place where he couldn't see them.
When he thought of this possibility, Huo Min clenched his fingertips that were hanging on the sofa.
He completely lost his patience and replied coldly to Zhao Keqiong, who was still dissatisfied with his punishment method: "In short, this matter was indeed done by her agent alone, and has nothing to do with her."
Zhao Keqiong was furious: "Ask yourself, do you believe it?!"
Huo Min sensed Mu Yuan's gaze from the corner of his eye. His lips tightened, but he restrained his gaze and turned towards her: "I seek truth from facts."
Zhao Keqiong was very angry.
Mu Yuan was worried that she would get angry and hurt herself, so she had no choice but to explain in a clear voice: "Mom, you saw the conflict between me and her agent last time, but Tang Nana and I have never had any conflict. So logically speaking, this incident should not have been done by Tang Nana. Besides, didn't she almost get into trouble? So it shouldn't be her."
Zhao Keqiong was very dissatisfied and wanted to vent, but she met Mu Yuan's cold and quiet face.
He tried his best to suppress his anger.
If she said anything more, it would be like stabbing her daughter-in-law in the back.
No matter how angry she was, she still had her sanity.
She knows very well what she can say and what she cannot say.
Zhao Keqiong was speechless. She took Mu Yuan's hand distressedly, patted the back of her hand gently, and said earnestly: "Yuanyuan, thank goodness you are okay. If you really were in trouble, Mom would never let any of them go."
After saying this, he glared at Huo Min angrily.
He folded his long legs and lowered his eyelashes, not noticing her angry glare.
Mu Yuan glanced at Huo Min quietly before smiling softly at Zhao Keqiong: "Thank you, Mom."
The tea had not been brewed twice when Guangguang, who had just finished breakfast and was taken away by Zhao Xitao, came back.
He skipped to Mu Yuan's side, put his hands on her legs, and looked eagerly: "Auntie, let's go play in the jungle!"
Mu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
This kid, how come he told me the location directly?
She subconsciously looked at Huo Min.
But he was playing with the teacup with a calm expression, not caring at all.
Mu Yuan felt inexplicably depressed.
But soon, she forced herself to relieve it.
In any case, his heart seemed to have returned to its place.
This is fine, after all, she said last night: "No matter what, they can't be together."
It seems that he listened to it, or perhaps, after seeing Tang Nana, his heart softened and his thoughts returned to her.
This result is what she wanted, returning to its original place with clear boundaries.
Mu Yuan thought he had figured it out.
However, he did not notice that her originally bright almond-shaped eyes were now shrouded in darkness.
"Aunt?"
Seeing that she didn't respond, Guangguang called her again.
Mu Yuan's eyes curved instantly: "Okay, let's go."
Zhao Xitao, who had just entered the hall, passed by Mu Yuan who was holding Guangguang. He quickly glanced at her expression and sighed silently in his heart.
When he entered the tea room again, he saw Huo Min, who seemed calm but was actually full of low pressure.
He shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Mu Yuan leave.
The person who came was Zhao Xitao, who had known about it for a long time.
Zhao Keqiong's anger suddenly became unbridled, and she pointed at Huo Min in frustration: "Tell me the truth, have you been bewitched by that little devil again?! You believe her just because she says it's not her?!"
Huo Min pursed his lips tightly: "I have explained everything I need to say."
Zhao Keqiong refused to listen and shouted in despair, "You can fool Yuanyuan, but you can't fool me! You're just soft-hearted! I taught you with all my heart, but in the end, how could you become like Huo Gang, who gave birth to you but didn't raise you? You're so unfaithful!"
Zhao Xitao paused when he heard this, and almost immediately looked at Huo Min.
Huo Min's face suddenly darkened, and his tone was as cold as the top of a snowy mountain about to collapse: "I'm different from him!"
Zhao Keqiong was very angry.
He didn't notice the disgust in Huo Min's eyes.
Still venting her anger, Zhao Keqiong gnashed her teeth at the thought of that treacherous and evil man: "You have his blood in you, you are exactly the same! You disappoint me so much!"
"Jiji." The stool was pushed away by Huo Min who suddenly stood up.
The corner of the stool slid across the ground with a sharp sound.
Zhao Keqiong's scolding stopped when he stood up without warning. She frowned and looked at him angrily and puzzledly.
However, Huo Min said nothing and strode away with a gloomy expression.
Zhao Keqiong became even angrier: "Come back here! I haven't finished what I'm saying yet!"
Zhao Xitao quickly stood up and before catching up, he comforted the furious Zhao Keqiong: "Aunt, please calm down. I'll go teach him a lesson!"
After saying that, he slipped away as if greased his feet.
Zhao Keqiong was left facing the air, unable to curse anymore.
Along the path with bougainvillea climbing the wall.
Huo Min walked aimlessly with his hands in his pockets and a cold expression.
Until I heard a laughter as clear and pleasant as wind chimes.
He paused, his gloomy eyes looking in the direction of the sound.
In front and to the side, under two jacaranda trees, dappled sunlight fell on Mu Yuan.
She didn't know what she was showing Guangguang, the two heads, one big and one small, bumped together.
They laughed together again.
The happy atmosphere was so contagious that it lifted his low mood a little.
Zhao Xitao saw him staring at one place absentmindedly from a distance.
Following his gaze, it was indeed Mu Yuan.
His inquiring gaze shifted back to Huo Min's face.
"Do you really believe that Donna is innocent?"
Anyway, he didn't believe it. After all, he had already seen Don Nana's character, so he didn't hold out much hope.
When he thought about their ill-fated relationship, he realized that it was caused by a careless remark he made back then.
Zhao Xitao regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
But there's no such thing as regret. Now, he could only do his best to salvage the situation, so he carefully chose his words to remind her, "Don't you think it's strange that she insisted on having you accompany her? It's like she was deliberately dragging you along to create an alibi for her."
