There was anticipation in her eyes. Over the years, Pluto had refused to reveal a single thing about her life.
For thousands of years, she has been like a body without a soul, not knowing where she came from, who her parents are, or whether she has ever been married and had children...
But she didn't remember any of this.
Mu Cheng took back his words, "Did you misunderstand something? I said I was bringing you back just to deal with my family's pressure to get married."
"As for the other plots you mentioned... there is indeed one. I want you to really be my girlfriend."
Since there is such a woman, why wouldn't he choose her?
All are single.
Shangguan Qing smiled disdainfully. Did he think she was a girl in her early twenties who was easy to fool?
Since he didn't want to talk and insisted on acting, she would accompany him to the end.
"It's okay if you want to be with me. According to the rules of my family, if a man marries me, he has to kowtow to me three times every morning and evening, kneel down to put on my shoes, and cannot sit at the table for meals."
She lowered her voice and pretended to be shy, "I'm so sorry, men in my family have a low status, so I'm still single and don't bully others."
Mu Cheng's eyes gradually turned cold, and his expression became obviously ugly, "......"
If he wants to date her, can he bear the three words "Netherworld"?
How dare you be the man of Lord Netherworld!
Mu Cheng's arms felt numb, and he couldn't delay with her any longer. He paid the money and said goodbye to Shangguan Qing.
"Rules are made by people and can always be changed,"
He took out half of a tiger talisman from his pocket and handed it to her.
"This is passed down from my ancestors. My ancestor was an important official in the imperial court, so he passed down the tiger talisman as a family heirloom. I give this to you."
Shangguan Qing was not interested in his ancestors, but this half tiger talisman was exactly the same as the one the old Taoist nun gave her.
So the people from the Mu Mansion are related to the old Taoist nun?
But the old Taoist nun and Cheng Ji seem to be old friends, so is it that someone from the Mu Mansion is related to Cheng Ji?
Shangguan Qing's mind was in a mess and he couldn't make sense of anything.
"I bought the things. I'll have someone give you the money later."
She didn't want to take Mu Cheng's things for nothing.
Mu Cheng said nothing, walked towards the door of the bar, and disappeared around the corner.
Shangguan Qing held the half tiger talisman tightly, feeling that it would help her recover her memory.
The bar is very close to the beach. You can see the sea after walking for a few minutes.
The sun sets in the west.
Qin Hao appeared in front of Mu Cheng against the setting sun, with his hands in his pockets. Next to him was a woman who was dressed seductively and always stuck to him.
Qin Hao looked him up and down, his eyes full of disgust and contempt, "How is it? Is it done?"
Mu Cheng, "Well, but you must honor the conditions that the Mu family discussed with you before."
Qin Hao, "Don't worry, if Cheng's family collapses, how can Shangguan Qing stay with him? Then our Qin family will help you get her."
Shangguan Qing is not a fool.
Who would choose a man who is born to be unlucky in family and is also bankrupt?
Unless this person is really depressed.
......
A hospital under the Cheng Group.
In the VIP ward.
Cheng Ji drank high-concentration alcohol on an empty stomach, which caused gastric perforation. Now he is sleeping while receiving an IV.
Shangguan Qing rushed to the ward and Li Yang was waiting outside.
"Ms. Shangguan, Mr. Cheng just fell asleep in there."
"good."
She was anxious to see him quickly, but Li Yang suddenly grabbed her arm.
She lowered her eyes to look at her arm, then looked along her arm and looked directly at the other person. Li Yang quickly let go.
"I'm sorry, I want to say something to Miss Shangguan. Although Mr. Cheng looks stern, he is a soft-hearted person. So I want to trouble you. If you don't want to be with him, don't provoke him."
Li Yang has been following Cheng Ji since his internship in college and knows him well.
He is very tough in words and very soft in heart.
He is more easily moved than anyone else, but he likes to pretend that he doesn't care, and he suffers all by himself in secret.
The thing that twisted people dare not touch is feelings, because once they do, their hearts will be broken.
Shangguan Qing's eyes were indifferent and cold. Without saying a word, he turned around and pushed open the door of the ward.
As soon as she walked in, the smell of disinfectant hit her in the face, mixed with the faint fishy smell that occasionally drifted in from the window.
She slowly approached the bedside, her eyes fell on Cheng Ji's pale and haggard face, and an indescribable guilt surged in her heart.
The ECG monitor at the bedside made regular ticking sounds, which were particularly clear in the silence.
Shangguan Qing leaned over and whispered softly in his ear, "I'm sorry, Cheng Ji."
There was a hint of trembling and self-blame in his voice.
After more than ten minutes, Shangguan Qing walked out of the ward with a tired look on his face.
She reminded Li Yang, "If he gets into trouble later, you can continue to contact me, secretly."
Li Yang nodded.
Shangguan Qing looked back at the sick man, sighed, and took the elevator to leave the hospital.
......
In the evening, it was time for the taxi to change shifts.
Shangguan Qing had no spiritual power and could not move instantly, so he waited for a long time at the hospital entrance before he could get a taxi.
She opened the back seat and just as she got in, the door was locked by the driver.
She realized something was wrong and glared at the driver.
"Who are you?"
The female driver was dressed seductively in a tight outfit that showed off her exquisite curves to the fullest.
There's still a foxy smell all over her body.
The woman's voice was thin and sharp. "Sit down, Master Shangguan, I want to take you somewhere."
She sneered disdainfully, "The vixen didn't practice well and came to me. Did she give up on men and seduce me?"
The woman, angered by her words, slammed on the brakes.
Shangguan Qing lost his balance and his forehead hit the back of the front seat.
"I***"
The woman realized that her goal had been achieved, and continued to drive triumphantly.
There was a lot of ambiguity in her words. "They say that people should know when to act. Now that you have become a ghost, do you forget how to be a human being?"
Shangguan Qing was so angry that he raised his hand halfway, but suddenly he remembered that he didn't have the spiritual power to hit anyone.
"......"
She put her hand down helplessly, her eyes instantly turned sinister and cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Youxuan, come here! Now!"
Youxuanhuan's white tiger ran beside the car, baring its teeth, as if it was going to tear the car to pieces in the next second.
When a woman sees a huge tiger, her body is instinctively frightened.
This is the stress response of the weak in nature to the strong.
"What is it? Aren't you out of spiritual power?"
The woman didn't know that Shangguan Qing had a white tiger. She was so nervous that her hands were shaking while driving.
Shangguan Qing sat in the back seat calmly, staring at her with cold eyes, "I don't know if a fox like you can defeat my Youxuan."
"If you win, I'll give you the position of assistant to the Lord of the Netherworld."
Youxuan heard this outside the car and felt aggrieved.
He works hard but is not serious? He actually wants to be replaced!
Youxuan got angry and pounced on the driving seat with his two front paws.
The car was shaking back and forth uncontrollably. The woman screamed in fear, and her expression was no longer as arrogant as before.
"Let it go! I'll put you down right away, and get it out of the way!"
