Volume 1 Chapter 84
Just yesterday, Mrs. Xi, whose complexion had improved since her daughter came back, had a hint of sadness in her eyes.
It’s a good thing that her daughter is back. Maybe because she didn’t grow up with her parents, Mu Xin is not close to her and her husband.
The son didn’t know why. He had obviously cared about his sister who was living away from home before, but now he became indifferent to her and didn’t even go home during the holidays.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Mrs. Xi, who had finished pruning the branches, planned to go upstairs to ask her daughter if she wanted to have afternoon tea together.
After knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered. In desperation, she began to call Mu Xin's name, but there was still no response.
When everyone pushed open the door and looked inside, Mu Xin was nowhere to be seen.
I asked people to search the entire Xi family, but Mu Xin was nowhere to be found.
Seeing his mother's red eyes and her look of doubt on him, even though Xiyan seemed to be a bit off-kilter, he couldn't help but feel hurt when being questioned by his relatives.
"Mom, I didn't do this."
Maybe he was just feeling guilty and ran away early because he knew his plan would be exposed.
The old man has been caught. Until all the witnesses and physical evidence are available, Xiyan cannot tell his mother a single word.
"The surveillance showed that she jumped out of the window and left. Your father sent people to look for her, but there has been no news so far."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xi felt a little disappointed.
Is this child just not meant for her?
Xi Yan comforted her: "He probably died outside."
Mrs. Xi's breath was choked.
"Is there anyone as comforting as you?"
Just when he was thinking about hitting this kid, he heard the door suddenly being pushed open with a bang, scaring the servants on both sides.
Mu Xin, who had disappeared for a day, walked in wearing the clothes she wore when she left.
Madam Xi hurriedly went over to greet him: "Mu Xin? Where have you been? Do you know that your mother is very worried!"
His angry expression was filled with worries that could not be concealed, but Mu Xin was very confused: "What are you angry about? I'm back now."
Then, with Madam Xi's slightly disappointed expression, she said, "Mother, I want to marry Lu Yanzhou."
"Why?"
Before Mrs. Xi could react, Xi Yan spoke first.
Looking at the unrepentant person in front of him, Young Master Xi sneered, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes only warmed up a little when he fell on his mother.
"You disappeared for a day, and when you came back you didn't apologize to your mother who was worried about you. Instead, the first thing you said was that you wanted to get married. Mu Xin, have you thrown your upbringing into the cesspool?"
After saying this, he was stunned for a moment.
What a cesspool! It's really been infected by the times.
Mu Xin looked at him with a half-smile: "Brother, why are you back? Don't you want to see me?"
Seeing the tension between the 'brother and sister', Mrs. Xi said, "Okay."
He quickly calmed down, and when he looked at Mu Xin again, the previous doting look in his eyes was no longer there, but a rational calmness.
"Why did you marry Lu Yanzhou? Your father asked you, and you clearly said you didn't like him."
Mrs. Xi sat down on the sofa, her eyes were neither salty nor cold, and even contained a bit of scrutiny.
Mu Xin seemed to have noticed nothing and sat down opposite Mrs. Xi naturally: "I like it now."
A disobedient male protagonist shouldn't exist, right?
After taking a sip of the tea handed to her by the servant, Mu Xin looked up and said to Madam Xi opposite her:
"I heard someone say that I was engaged to Lu Yanzhou when I was in your belly."
Mrs. Xi appeared unmoved, but in her heart she was wondering who had told her this.
Their family respects children's freedom of love and will not force marriage. Engagement and the like were just jokes back then.
Xi Yan was sitting next to Madam Xi and raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"I don't know."
He turned to Mrs. Xi for confirmation, and when he met her eyes, Xi Yan knew that it was probably true, and a little annoyance spread in his heart.
Speaking of which, that kid Lu Yanzhou coveted his sister when she was still a boy. I don't know whether to say that he is scheming or it is fate.
Mrs. Xi was about to speak when she was interrupted by Mu Xin.
"I've already told my father and he agreed."
Xi Yan stood up directly.
Lu Yanzhou, if you don’t find my sister back, you’ll have to come back and get married.
...
“Not found yet”
The doctor who was standing next to him drawing blood raised his eyes subconsciously when he heard these words, but when he saw the pair of brown eyes with red bloodshot, he lowered his head hastily.
Secretary Shi whispered, "Lu Tingfeng came back suddenly and caught us off guard."
Seeing the storm brewing in Lu Yanzhou's eyes, Secretary Shi immediately responded: "But!"
“I discovered something important.”
The look in Lu Yanzhou's eyes when he looked at her was calm but contained a suppressed anger.
Secretary Shi searched his body, then opened his hands and revealed——
A little furry mouse.
When its eyes met Lu Yanzhou's, its rice-sized eyes lit up, and then it waved its paws at him.
The doctor who drew blood: “…”
Is Secretary Shi trying to make the young master happy?
But unexpectedly, when Lu Yanzhou saw the little thing, his mood changed slightly.
"Marumaru?"
It's time for the hamster.
When she heard him calling her name, Wanwan jumped from Secretary Shi's palm and ran towards Lu Yanzhou.
“Squeak~”
Rubbing the male protagonist's fingers, Maru Maru called out to him.
"Do you know where Shi Lele is?"
Lu Yanzhou put the little hamster into his palm and lifted it up, then touched its little head.
Secretary Shi thought it was over.
Although it was a desperate attempt to save the young master, I didn't expect that the young master had gone crazy enough to talk to a mouse.
Even the mice raised by Shi Lele can't understand human language.
Who knows——
“Squeak!”
The little hamster stretched out a paw and pointed towards the west, his voice full of anxiety.
Secretary Shi: ...Damn it.
Lu Yanzhou pulled out the electronic map and pointed the laser pen in the direction it was pointing.
"Is it this way?"
Wanwan held Lu Yanzhou's fingers with her two paws (which had been washed clean) and pointed to a mountain.
Mingshan.
Lu Yanzhou's eyes flickered slightly.
Secretary Shi said, "It's actually here."
Then he turned and looked at Lu Yanzhou.
The latter just calmly put down the laser pen, touched Wanwan's little head with his fingertips, and spoke in a faint voice as if he was talking about how to cook the fish for dinner.
"By bombarding."
...
She was tied up again and forced to change into a skirt and put on makeup. A chain was tied around her ankle and the other end was welded to the floor.
She was leaning against the bed with her pillow in her arms. When she heard the noise coming from outside the door, she lazily raised her eyelids and took a look.
The person who came in was an unknown person.
"Miss Mu Xin asked me to bring you something."
He looked at Shi Lele with eyes full of sympathy and schadenfreude.
The latter raised his chin slightly.
"explain."
Seeing her arrogant attitude, the man snorted coldly, thinking that you will cry later.
"Lu Yanzhou has agreed to the engagement with the Xi family, and the engagement party will be held on the weekend."
Just as he finished speaking, the lazy man suddenly let out a sharp bang.
"What!? There is such a good thing!?"
