Mu Nanxun, who was walking at the front, stopped while carrying Yi Yi. His gaze, slightly annoyed, fell on the villa entrance not far away. A woman in a yellow dress sat on the open ground in front of the entrance, sobbing softly.
"Xiao Fang, what's going on? What kind of day is it that you can let outsiders in like that?"
Today was his and Yi Yi's wedding day, and he couldn't allow any unexpected events or bad omens to occur. What should have been a joyous occasion was instead marred by a woman's inexplicable weeping, which annoyed him.
"Boss, I'll go check right away."
There was just too much to do today, so I was a bit lax at home and had no idea how this woman had managed to barge in.
Xiao Fang didn't dare to delay and quickly ran up to her. He grabbed the woman who was crying her heart out and was about to get angry when he saw her face. He couldn't let his anger out.
"Boss, it's Miss Xia Bingqing."
Xia Bingqing...
Upon hearing this, Yi Yi jumped off Mu Nanxun's back. The girl in front of her was dressed in coarse yellow cloth, her hair was tied back in a messy manner, her face was covered in dirt, and her large eyes were filled with glistening tears. She looked pitiful and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
Although Xia Bingqing was thin in the past, she had been pampered and spoiled since childhood. Her family had raised her to be rosy-cheeked, fair-skinned, and beautiful, and she always had the best of everything. Because of her family background, she always looked down on others and had a disdainful attitude towards them.
But now... apart from her facial features, everything else is completely different from before.
Such crude and tattered clothes would never have been even glanced at by Xia Bingqing, who used to be a wealthy young lady, yet now she wore them. Her face was sallow, and her eyes shrank timidly, as if she dared not look at anyone.
It's hard to imagine that in just a few months, the self-important Xia Bingqing has become like this.
Yi Yi remembered that the last time she saw Xia Bingqing was at the edge of a cliff. At that time, Xia Bingqing plotted to push her off the cliff, but the two of them fell down together.
Later, Yi Yi was rescued by Chen Dudu, but Xia Bingqing's whereabouts were unknown. Yi Yi had searched for Xia Bingqing before, but to no avail. In the past few months, Yi Yi had even thought that Xia Bingqing might have met with misfortune, but unexpectedly, she saw her here again.
Everyone was shocked to see Xia Bingqing here.
The old man was the first to react. He went over and helped her to the side. "Child, whatever you have to say, we can talk about it later. Today is a joyous occasion for the Mu family, and it's not appropriate for you to be here."
Upon hearing this, Xia Bingqing's eyes darted around, and tears streamed down her face. She knelt down before the old man with a thud, sobbing, "Uncle Mu, please save me! I have no family left, I have nothing left. If you don't take me in, I won't be able to live!"
"This..." The old man hesitated. Although Xia Bingqing's father had committed many evil deeds and deserved his fate, Xia Bingqing hadn't participated in those matters; at most, she was just arrogant and domineering. Now that her father was in prison, the Xia family had fallen on hard times, and their only son was heavily in debt. For a pampered young lady like Xia Bingqing, it would indeed be difficult for her to survive without the protection of the Xia family. Because of the past relationship between the two families, he couldn't simply abandon Xia Bingqing.
But... this is, after all, Mu Nanxun's wedding. Mu Nanxun's past relationship with Xia Bingqing makes this situation somewhat awkward.
