Chapter 68
Mu Qingxuan stared at Sun Qiumei's face, which was flushed with anger, and said at the right time: "Mom, I heard that Qianqian's husband Shi Feihua has some connections in the Education Bureau."
"Dongjie wants to transfer to a key middle school in the city. Maybe he can help."
She lowered her eyelashes to hide the calculating light in her eyes: "But Qianqian seems to have never mentioned it to you, and I don't know why."
Sun Qiumei's cloudy eyes were wide open almost popping out of their sockets.
"This traitor! He doesn't even care about his own brother's future?"
She turned around and looked at Mu Dashan fiercely: "Listen, this is the good daughter you spoiled!"
Mu Dashan smoked his pipe, the sparks flickering in the pipe. After a while, he let out a breath of foul air: "I'll ask her when she comes back!"
Mu Qingxuan quietly took a half step back, her voice carrying just the right amount of grievance: "Mom, I know you've always hoped that Dongjie would have a bright future."
"Qianqian, since you have this relationship, but you keep it secret..."
She choked up and couldn't continue speaking, raising her hand to wipe away the tears that didn't exist at all.
Sun Qiumei was so angry that she was shaking all over: "This is outrageous! Now that you have become so powerful, you don't even take me seriously!"
She yelled at Mu Dashan in a hoarse voice: "Let's go! Let's go to the Shi family now and see what else she has to say!"
Mu Qingxuan asked at the right time: "Then... will mom and dad stay at the Huo's house to rest tonight?"
"Keep?"
Sun Qiumei rolled her eyes at her, her fat face full of disdain: "Are you here to look at me like a coward? You came here and didn't even have a few bites of food, and you still have to endure this nonsense!"
"If you weren't useless, would we be so frustrated?"
She snorted coldly and tugged at her faded floral shirt: "Hmph, I'll teach you a lesson after I get things done with Qianqian!"
Mu Dashan crushed the cigarette butt.
The two men walked out the door swearing, and Sun Qiumei's voice came from afar: "If I can't get a result today, I will skin her alive!"
Watching the two people's receding backs, Mu Qingxuan leaned against the door frame, a barely perceptible sneer appearing at the corner of her mouth.
She returned to the room and just as she opened the door, someone hooked her fingertips.
Then he was pulled into someone's arms.
"Did the plan succeed?"
The warm breath sprayed on her ears, causing the tips of Mu Qingxuan's ears to turn red.
"Um."
"They're gone."
Mu Qingxuan pressed her cheek against Huo Changfeng's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and told him the purpose of Mu Dashan and his wife's visit.
"But from what I know about them, if they didn't get any benefit this time, they might come again in the future."
"When the time comes, no matter what they say, don't agree to any of their requests. Otherwise, they will definitely rely on you in the future."
A hint of coldness flashed across Mu Qingxuan's eyes.
His grandfather was dragged to death by this evil pair of son and daughter-in-law.
When she thought of this, her fingertips unconsciously grasped the hem of his shirt.
Huo Changfeng lowered his head and kissed the strands of hair on top of her head, and said vaguely, "I'll do whatever you say."
"I'll also talk to grandma and mom, but I need you to remind dad."
Speaking of Cui Lirong, Mu Qingxuan suddenly remembered something and looked up at Huo Changfeng.
"Mom didn't do anything to you, did she?"
Just as they left the table, Mu Qingxuan saw flames flickering in Cui Lirong's eyes.
But it’s only been a while, it’s probably too late…
Mu Qingxuan glanced at Huo Changfeng and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was nothing wrong with him.
Huo Changfeng's eyes darkened.
His bony hand covered the slightly cool back of Mu Qingxuan's hand and slowly moved it towards his heart.
Through the fabric of his shirt, Mu Qingxuan could clearly feel his violent heartbeat.
"Is it okay to get hit hard with a feather duster?"
Mu Qingxuan looked up suddenly, her eyes filled with shock.
The light shone down softly, casting tiny shadows under Huo Changfeng's eyelashes.
She reached out and gently poked his chest: "Is this true? How could Mom be so fierce?"
“It really hurts.”
Huo Changfeng suddenly held her hand and pressed it against her left rib, his voice aggrieved like an abandoned big dog: "Touch it, it hurts so much."
As he spoke, his warm palm covered hers, and his lightly calloused fingertips gently stroked the back of Mu Qingxuan's hand, then he held her hand below his heart.
Mu Qingxuan bit her lower lip, her fingertips trembling slightly.
In the dim light, she saw the faint red mark on his collar.
She frowned slightly and raised her hand to unbutton Huo Changfeng's clothes.
There were several bright red marks crisscrossing the wheat-colored skin, which were particularly glaring against the white shirt.
Mu Qingxuan's fingertips were suspended in the air, and her eyes suddenly felt hot: "I shouldn't have asked you to act with me..."
She bit her lip tightly, her face full of guilt.
"hiss--"
Huo Changfeng suddenly gasped, frowned and looked at her pitifully: "Ouch, it hurts so much."
Mu Qingxuan burst into laughter when she saw his boastful look.
The other hand gently poked his red cheek: "Liar."
Having said that, he took the initiative to move closer, and sprayed his warm breath over the scar, "It really doesn't hurt?"
Huo Changfeng's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly turned over and pressed her against the cold wall.
The scent of cedar was overwhelming. He lowered his head and bit her earlobe, mumbling, "It hurts now."
He stroked Mu Qingxuan's lips that were bitten with teeth marks and sighed slightly: "Don't bite yourself, it will hurt me."
"you--"
Mu Qingxuan opened her mouth and was about to say something when Huo Changfeng pressed down on her with a passionate kiss.

The autumn night wind was damp and cool. Sun Qiumei and Mu Dashan walked on the bumpy stone road, rushing towards the Shi family angrily.
Sun Qiumei cursed as she walked away: "This heartless bitch, I'll skin her alive!"
Mu Dashan was smoking his pipe, the ashes falling on his patched clothes. He didn't say anything, but just quickened his pace.
The iron gate of the Shi family was ajar, and dim light leaked through the gap.
Sun Qiumei pushed open the iron gate, and a loud "clang" scared away the wild cat in the corner of the yard.
Mu Qianqian was washing dishes in the kitchen. When she heard the noise, before she could dry her hands, Sun Qiumei grabbed her hair and pulled her out.
"You ungrateful bastard!" Sun Qiumei's nails dug deep into Mu Qianqian's scalp.
"Your husband has connections in the Education Bureau and can help your brother transfer to another school, but you kept it a secret?"
Mu Qianqian screamed in pain, and the dishwater flowed down her arm, forming a small puddle on the floor.
Her face turned pale instantly, and she didn't care how Sun Qiumei knew about this matter. She just explained in a panic.
"Mom, it's not like that! Shi Feihua doesn't love me at all. I'm just a punching bag in the Shi family. How could he possibly listen to me..."
"Shut up!" Sun Qiumei's roar shook the lanterns in the corridor.
"Your sister has already used this excuse! Do you think I'm a fool?"
She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she raised her hand and slapped Mu Qianqian hard in the face.
