Chapter 298 Which Side Does My Scale Lean Towards?
In the hospital, Bai Yanzhu comforted the noisy Bai Ruofei, and at the same time asked the bodyguard about Qin Si's whereabouts.
The bodyguards remained silent.
Bai Yanzhu's eyes flushed slightly, and there was a loneliness on her face that was hard to conceal, just like pear blossoms wet by rain, still beautiful and charming, but with a hint of bitterness.
Tears welled up in my eyes, almost ready to fall.
The farce in the fencing hall finally came to an end with Qin Si’s words “I’m not as skilled as others”.
When did he come? How long did he watch in secret? Who did he come for?
If the words heard outside the study can be regarded as the last hope, then what exactly does this hope mean?
Bai Yanzhu tried hard to tell herself not to be greedy. She had already received too many gifts, but she still felt unwilling.
In the upper class society, a smart woman will not confront a man directly, but will win the support of his family. Once she is recognized by the family, her position will be as solid as a rock.
Rumors were flying everywhere, how could Bai Yanzhu not know about it? It was said that Qin Si and Jiang Zhiyue spent a month together in the slums, and they were inseparable. There were even photos as evidence, which were sent to her.
Even Lin Jun's big mouth once vividly described how her fiancé protected Jiang Zhiyue in dangerous situations.
How could she pretend nothing happened and ignore all this! ?
What she couldn't understand even more was that she was the one who should have been with Qin Si and gone through everything with him. She was his fiancée and the only person in the world who was qualified to go through all the ups and downs with him!
Why did it become Jiang Zhiyue?
She once questioned Xiao Jingrun with a feeling of grievance, asking why he made such an arrangement, and why the test of the family heir had to involve a nursed daughter?
What qualifications does Jiang Zhiyue have to break into their world?
That was the first time Bai Yanzhu lost her composure, so she clearly caught the "as expected" expression that flashed across the man's face.
It's like saying, "Look, even those people in the upper class who usually disguise themselves perfectly, never actively bully the common people, and always stand aside and watch with cold eyes, will eventually reveal their true colors because of interests or other reasons."
"Why can't it be her?" the man asked calmly, "She is excellent, isn't she?"
There was a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his eyes, a look that Bai Yanzhu had never seen on Xiao Jingrun's face before.
Indeed, why couldn’t it be Jiang Zhiyue?
Who stipulated that the girl next to the heir must be his fiancée among the socialites?
Who made such a rule that no matter how hard ordinary people try, they can never step into the world of the rich and powerful? Once they cross the line, they will be excluded, suppressed, and questioned?
Xiao Jingrun was born with a pair of warm and slender eyes. When he smiled, his thin lips lifted slightly, outlining a shallow arc, and even the tails of his eyes curved softly.
When he asked her with a smile, Bai Yanzhu felt that his eyes seemed to see through the secrets in her heart and even the hidden secrets of her family. She could only flee in panic.
A tear fell on the back of my hand.
Bai Yanzhu looked up in a daze. Bai Ruofei's face was full of resentment. She gnashed her teeth and pounded the pillow fiercely, completely ignoring the wound on her palm. "Sister, what does brother-in-law mean? Is he protecting that shameless woman?"
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry! Our Bai family has lost all face! What if mother finds out?"
"It's a shame. Those opportunists in the academy must be laughing at you behind your back!"
"Was everything that happened today arranged by my brother-in-law? Was it just to help that damn woman vent her anger?"
"Otherwise, how could he show up so timely!?"
....
Jiang Zhiyue originally didn't want to come to the hospital, but she didn't expect that Mu Liansheng would follow her.
The man claimed that he was here to arrest her and blamed her for standing him up.
"Your swordsmanship just now was pretty good." He winked and smiled, "Would you like to try my swordsmanship next time?"
Jiang Zhiyue didn't bother to pay attention to him. He was like a dog-skin plaster, sticking wherever he went.
She wanted to run, but Mu Liansheng pulled her close to him, slid his big hand down and held the girl's hand.
Jiang Zhiyue tried to shake it off, but the man held her even tighter, so she had to open her palms.
The skin wound on her palm had not yet healed. The moment the knife was snatched away, the wound broke again and blood overflowed from her palm. However, the girl gritted her teeth and said nothing. She just clenched her fingers silently and kept moving away.
She is always like this, unwilling to show any trace of vulnerability. In fact, from Mu Liansheng's perspective, she is not a weak dodder, but every soft look in her eyes is full of fragility.
"Qin Si is responsible for being a hero and saving the beauty, and I will be responsible for after-sales service." Mu Liansheng joked to himself. After all, Qin Si took action at the critical moment, helped Jiang Zhiyue block the important blow, and knocked Bai Ruofei away.
Suddenly, the whole audience burst into exclamations.
You have to know that this is Qin Si, who never treats any opposite sex well except Bai Yanzhu.
Bai Yanzhu is the only woman who can stay with Qin Si and win the favor of the Qin family.
The man's sudden action broke the myth of the golden boy and jade girl.
After Qin Si left.
Mu Liansheng came forward with a smile and waited at the place where Jiang Zhiyue must pass before leaving.
There was still some sweat on the girl's forehead, her slightly red face was damp, and the hair by her ears was slightly wet with sweat. Her coat was hanging on her arm, and she was wearing only a single piece of clothing.
When the wind blew, Mu Liansheng became visually aware of her slenderness for the first time.
The white top clung to her skin, outlining her tight and curvy figure after exercise. Her chest was still rising and falling, and a drop of crystal slowly slid down her neck to her collarbone, and then continued to fall from her collarbone.
"Why did you suddenly change your personality today? You turned from a soft little white rabbit into a biting little cat." He asked suddenly, took out a cigarette out of habit, lit it and took a deep puff, looking at her dimly through the smoke.
Jiang Zhiyue said: "Tolerance and resistance are like the two ends of a scale."
"oh?"
Mu Liansheng prefers a particular brand of cigarettes. There is a circle of light pink rose pattern printed on the cigarette butt, and the exhaled gas has a faint fragrance.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, "Which side do you want my scale to lean towards?"
....
Jiang Zhiyue had her wound re-bandaged in the hospital, and the doctor also prescribed a new medicine for the wound on her neck.
After finishing the treatment, the male doctor looked at Mu Liansheng with extreme fear.
Mu Liansheng smiled without saying anything, suddenly lifted the girl's collar and checked the marks on her skin.
Seeing that it had faded a lot, he nodded with satisfaction.
Mu Liansheng is a man with a clear purpose. While watching a play, he never forgets his business. He invites Jiang Zhiyue to his home to watch his cat do backflips.
Jiang Zhiyue was choked for once.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Zhiyue?"
She turned around when she heard the voice, and it was Sheng Huaian.
He was pushing a wheelchair slowly towards us.
