Chapter 2017 Where Did the Strawberry Mark Come From?
In the end, Mu Xin was acquitted, and the real criminal was caught a month later.
Afterwards, she expressed her gratitude to He Yiming and explained that she had someone else in her heart and might not be able to reciprocate his feelings, but she was willing to do her best to help him if he needed her help in the future.
However, He Yiming said that he actually did not have a crush on her. He just knew that Mu Xin was not a criminal suspect, so he made up a reason to make the police believe him. But he really needed Mu Xin's help at the moment.
He needed a nominal wife to get rid of the trouble of his mother constantly introducing girlfriends to him.
He comes from a single-parent family. His mother lives alone in the country and has always been worried about his lifelong affairs.
She was afraid that her son would only focus on his career and neglect his marriage, and when he got old, he would have no one to rely on. The old lady was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night and was almost suffering from depression.
His mother hoped that he would get married and have children as soon as possible, but he was a bachelor and didn't want to get married at all.
His mother tried to find him a girlfriend, and even imitated other parents by running to the blind date corner, setting up a colorful umbrella on the ground, and sticking a piece of paper on the umbrella, writing down various conditions of her child and her requirements for the other half, just like setting up a stall.
The uncles and aunts at the blind date corner are all parents who are worried about their children. Because their children are busy with work all day, or have no opportunities to come into contact with the opposite sex in the work environment, the parents came up with this idea to arrange blind dates for their children.
He Yiming's conditions were quite good. His mother wrote down his situation on a piece of paper and stuck it on an umbrella. Some people even thought he was a liar, believing that someone with his conditions would definitely not lack a girlfriend.
In short, many parents of girls came to inquire about the matter, and the old lady chose one from these interested people. The girl matched He Yiming in all aspects. Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be a liar. After finding ways to cheat the old lady out of more than 100,000 yuan, she could no longer be contacted.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars was not a lot of money for He Yiming, but the incident was too bad. His mother was sad for a long time and wondered how people could be so vicious.
She just wanted to find a partner for her son.
Seeing that his marriage had become a worry for his mother, He Yiming felt that if this continued, his mother would become ill. So in order to reassure his mother, he wanted to find a woman who was willing to act with him.
He would be very grateful if Mu Xin was willing to play the role of his wife.
He Yiming also promised her that their marriage would only last two years, after which they would dissolve the marriage, but they would keep it a secret from his mother.
And in these two years, as Mrs. He, Mu Xin's life abroad will be easier, better than being a lonely girl with no one to take care of her.
Mu Xin was also prepared to remain single for the rest of her life. She also felt deeply the hardship of living alone abroad. Even if her uncle was gone for a long time, he could not solve all her practical problems, nor could he change the local people's discrimination against Orientals. So she agreed to He Yiming's proposal as a way of repaying him.
They registered their marriage abroad and held a small wedding in a church, and thus became husband and wife.
Later, Mu Xin learned winemaking techniques and developed into a winemaker. He often traveled between major wineries, and the two of them were rarely together.
In the past year, Mu Xin's work focus has been on the domestic market.
He Yiming's mother had also been living in China. When she saw Mu Xin returning, she also persuaded her son to come back.
He Yiming thought that his mother was old and would not be able to adapt if she was taken abroad, so he wanted to show his filial piety to the old lady, so He Yiming also began to focus his work in China.
Therefore, the two of them settled down in Haicheng. After all, before getting divorced, they had to continue to pretend to be together for the old lady.
The two were originally going to meet in Haicheng this time, but when He Yiming heard that Fu Zichen was also in the manor, he made a temporary change and flew here. He knew that Fu Zichen was a bastard and was afraid that she would be wronged again.
In fact, Mu Xin felt embarrassed to trouble him to make the trip. After all, what happened between her and Fu Zichen was her personal matter, and she didn't want to trouble He Yiming for it.
But I couldn't persuade him no matter what, so I had to agree to let him come.
Mu Xin came to He Yiming and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Yiming."
He Yiming nodded, helped her pick the dry branches out of her hair, then put his arm around her waist and held her in his arms.
Mu Xin blinked and pushed his chest: "Brother Yiming, what are you doing..."
They didn't usually have this kind of physical contact when they met, which made her very uncomfortable.
He Yiming whispered, "We still have to put on an act in front of outsiders."
Mu Xin's heart sank. It turned out that he wanted to help her do it in front of Fu Zichen...
She wanted to say that Fu Zichen actually knew everything and they were not really husband and wife.
But after thinking about it, she was just trying to make things difficult for Fu Zichen anyway, and Fu Zichen couldn't be sure whether she and He Yiming were really acting, so she might as well let Brother Yiming continue to act with her.
After a brief hug, He Yiming let her go and said, "Come on, take me to say hello to my uncle."
"Okay, uncle is in the garden."
So He Yiming helped her take the champagne in her hand, held her hand, and returned to the entrance of the vineyard and came in front of Fu Zichen.
Mu Xin glanced at Fu Zichen hurriedly, and when her eyes met his dark ones, her heart suddenly tightened.
She clearly wanted to see him feel bad, but when she really saw him feeling bad, she didn't feel happy at all. Mu Xin was a little confused about herself.
He Yiming said, "I've long heard of Master Fu's name, but I didn't expect to meet him here."
Fu Zichen smiled and said, "It's a pity that you came a step too late. If you had come yesterday, you would have caught them in bed together."
The smile on He Yiming's face froze for a moment, and the hand he was holding on Mu Xin tightened a little. He turned his head to look at Mu Xin.
Mu Xin was almost pissed off at Fu Zichen. This guy actually brought this up right away.
She and He Yiming weren't a real couple, so He Yiming certainly wouldn't be jealous or anything like that. But she didn't want He Yiming to think she was useless and had returned the favor, so she instinctively denied it: "Don't listen to his nonsense."
Fu Zichen then said, "Am I talking nonsense? Then did you bite the strawberry on your neck yourself?"
He Yiming's eyes quickly passed over her neck. Mu Xin quickly brushed her hair and lifted her collar, but she had short hair and her clothes were not high-necked, so there was no way to cover it.
Mu Xin was so angry that she was speechless. What did this guy say just now? He would never do anything she didn't want him to do, but now he came to make things difficult for her on purpose.
So, a man’s mouth is a lie, and anyone who believes it is crazy.
Mu Xin didn't want to have this kind of conversation anymore, lest this guy say something weird again, so she said to He Yiming, "I'll take you to see your uncle first."
