Chapter 663: Attracting Wealth and Treasure
"Hello? Mu Zhen, you should be getting on the plane now, right? I've regained feeling in my legs today, and I can stand up and walk a few steps. Master Yun said I'll be fully recovered in a while!"
From Shi Yiheng's excited tone, Xiao Muzhen could feel his joy.
If it was before she knew the truth about the car accident, she would have been happier than him.
But at this moment, she only felt irony.
"Very good, congratulations."
Hearing that Xiao Muzhen's tone was not right, Shi Yiheng was silent for a few seconds before his low voice came from the other side.
"Mu Zhen, did something happen? You don't sound happy."
"No, it's just that I may not be able to come to your place for the time being. Something suddenly happened in the capital."
Shi Yiheng's voice was filled with disappointment. "Mu Zhen... I really hope that the day my leg is completely healed, the first person I walk towards when I stand up will be you. Are the matters of the capital so important that you wouldn't even care about your fiancé's leg?"
By the end of his speech, his tone was unconsciously questioning.
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and lowered her eyes and asked, "Does that car accident have anything to do with you?"
As she finished speaking, the other side fell into silence.
After a long while, Shi Yiheng's extremely disappointed tone came over, "Mu Zhen, what do you mean? Do you think I planned that car accident?"
Xiao Muzhen felt a surge of irritation in her heart. In fact, she was not sure whether the video that person sent her was real, but she couldn't help but think, if it was true, how should she and Shi Yiheng deal with it.
"I don't know. I need time to sort this out. Can you give me a few days?"
Shi Yiheng smiled bitterly, "Do you really wish that I was the one who planned the car accident? That way you wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore, and you wouldn't have to force yourself to be with me anymore? You could just throw me away like trash?"
"I don't think so."
"Mu Zhen, if you knew how much anticipation I had in telling you today that I had regained feeling in my legs, you would understand that you are someone I don't want to hurt at all costs. If you truly don't want to be with me, we will cancel our engagement after we return to the capital."
After saying that, Shi Yiheng hung up the phone.
Xiao Muzhen didn't call because she was very confused. No matter what, she had to find out whether the video was real or not. Otherwise, as long as she had the seeds of doubt in her heart, her relationship with Shi Yiheng would not last long.
On the other side, Shi Yiheng hung up the phone and dialed another number.
"You did a great job. She will probably investigate the car accident next. Just guide her step by step and let her slowly discover my love for her."
When Xiao Muzhen finally discovered that she had misunderstood her all along, that was when she felt the strongest sense of guilt.
If he shows up again at that time, he will definitely make Xiao Muzhen agree to his proposal.
Thinking of this, Shi Yiheng's lips curled up into a determined smile.
He didn't notice that a figure left quietly not far behind him.
Back in the room, Yun Ling sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
She was not a fool. From what Shi Yiheng had just said, she could tell that Shi Yiheng was plotting against Xiao Muzhen.
If it were in the past, she would definitely tell Xiao Muzhen about this without hesitation, but now... she hesitated.
If she told Xiao Muzhen directly, she and Shi Yiheng would definitely fall out, and Shi Yiheng would definitely hate her.
After thinking for a long time, Yun Ling finally decided to go talk to Shi Yiheng.
She walked to the door of Shi Yiheng's room and was about to knock when her deep voice came from inside.
"Yunling, come in."
Yun Ling took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked in.
Shi Yiheng was sitting at the table making tea. When he heard the door open, he looked up at her and said with a smile, "Why did you come to see me at this time? Shouldn't you be washing the herbs by now?"
Meeting his smiling eyes, Yun Ling spoke word by word, "Shi Yiheng, I heard everything you said today when you called Senior Sister and what you said to your subordinates afterwards."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Yiheng's face gradually faded, and finally turned into expressionless calmness.
"So? What's your purpose in coming to see me?"
"I hope you can be honest with Senior Sister. You won't get her true heart by scheming. And you probably don't want her to hate you after she knows the truth, right?!"
Looking at Yun Ling's innocent face, Shi Yiheng cursed her in his heart, "She's stupid."
He once thought that as long as he was sincere to Xiao Muzhen, she would one day see his love for her.
But in the end he realized that waiting silently in the same place was the most foolish thing to do. You have to fight for what you want, especially love. No one will fall in love with someone who follows you like a shadow and has no sense of existence at all.
"As long as you don't tell her, she will never know in her life. And you also know that she was hurt by Huo Yunting before. You don't want her to be hurt again, right?"
Yun Ling was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Your deception to her is the real harm. If you don't confess, I will tell Senior Sister myself!"
Seeing Yun Ling was about to leave, a hint of danger flashed across Shi Yiheng's eyes.
"etc!"
Yun Ling turned around and looked at him, "Do you agree?"
Shi Yiheng pretended to be embarrassed and was silent for more than ten seconds before he slowly said, "I can confess to her, but not now. I will find a suitable opportunity to tell her clearly."
"About how long will it take?"
Meeting her aggressive gaze, Shi Yiheng revealed a fragile look, "I need to think about it carefully. Besides, my leg hasn't healed yet. If I tell her now, she will definitely leave me. I'll tell her when our relationship is more stable, okay?"
Yun Ling bit her lower lip and wanted to refuse, but when she saw Shi Yiheng's sad face, the words of refusal came to her lips but she couldn't say them.
Seeing Yun Ling's hesitation, Shi Yiheng said with a disappointed look on his face: "I'm still a patient now. Are you sure you really want to force me like this?"
Finally, Yunling softened her heart.
"Okay, I promise you, but after your leg is healed, you must find a chance to explain everything to Senior Sister as soon as possible, otherwise I will tell her myself!"
"Yes, I certainly will."
After resolving this matter, Yun Ling was obviously not as worried as when she came when she left, and even her steps were much lighter.
Shi Yiheng looked at her back coldly, his eyes full of mockery.
Only a woman like Yunling, who is ignorant of the world, would believe what he just said.
Old Yun protected Yun Ling very well, but it was because he protected her too well that she is now so naive and will believe anything others say.
If he didn't need Old Yun's help to treat his leg, he would definitely attack Yun Ling because she heard a secret that she shouldn't have heard!
On the other side, after ending the call with Shi Yiheng, Xiao Muzhen tore up the plane ticket and turned to leave the airport.
I just got home when the strange phone number called again.
