Chapter 46: New and Old Grudges
How come he is there? ! ! !
How come he was in her room?
Jiaoran's face suddenly froze in the night. Someone beside her nudged her, and asked, "Jiaoran, what's wrong?"
She just remained silent.
A middle-aged woman in her forties came into the room. There seemed to be a horrifying old scar on her face.
She brought the food, and there were quite a few plates, and the dishes were all brightly colored.
Mei Wan'er's stomach growled at an inopportune moment. She had been so busy that she hadn't had time to eat.
"How's it going?" Yuan Jianlu was getting a little anxious as he waited behind the pillar.
"I'm watching." Mei Wan'er turned her head to look at Jiaoran, not understanding what was going on.
Her face looked even worse, her eyes flashing with resentment in the night, she bit her lower lip, and her lips seemed to be trembling.
No, her whole body was shaking. Mei Wan'er reacted, "Jiaoran, are you okay?"
It seemed that the two of them did not recognize Mu Jin and had no impression of him at all. It seemed that when the incident happened at the wedding, they were not in the eye of the storm and were just peripheral people helping out.
But how could Jiaoran be mistaken? She had touched his body, kissed his lips, heard his rapid and seductive breathing, felt dizzy with the stirring of his tongue, lost herself in his deep eyes, and was obsessed with his gentle words...
Even if he turned into ashes, Jiaoran could still recognize him.
"Don't scare me, Jiaoran, say something."
She said it, finally said it, after a long wait.
She said, "I'm going to kill him!"
"Huh?" Mei Wan'er was startled, but her hands were not as fast as her brain. When she wanted to stop him, Jiaoran had already pushed open the window, jumped over it, stepped on the windowsill, and a figure flashed in the moonlight, and he rushed into the Huiying Inn opposite and landed in her room.
"Oh no!" Mei Wan'er hurriedly called Yuan Jianlu over.
She was really too impulsive, but this kind of behavior would not be excessive for anyone else.
After all, no one can stand by and watch everything they cherish being taken away.
Mu Jin, this unscrupulous bastard, colluded with Fenghuang Chu and cheated her, causing her to almost die outside in the past few years. Now he comes to deceive her mother. Who knows how many more conspiracies and tricks he has in mind.
As soon as Jiaoran's footsteps touched the floor of the inn.
It was an alien object, and the two people in the room looked at her in amazement.
There was an uncontrollable surprise in Mu Jin's eyes, as if he had expected this day. But in a flash, he didn't dare to look directly at the visitor's aggressive gaze and lowered his head sadly.
A'niang was completely stunned and stood there in panic. She even broke the cups on the table. Two cups fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Mother..." There was a hint of tears in her voice, but she finally held it back and did not cry in front of Mu Jin, the despicable and shameless villain.
Zhou Zhi's mouth twitched, and he immediately flashed a perfect smile, tears in his eyes, "Jiao Ran—you damn child, hey! I'll beat you to death! Where have you run off to!?"
Mu Jin stepped forward and grabbed her clothes, but she easily pushed them aside. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Stay still, or I'll kill her right away."
Jiaoran threw himself into her arms, "Mother, why did you bring him back? It was that old fox Fenghuangchu, right? They are all liars, they almost killed me!"
"They still dare to stay here, I tell you they—"
Zhou Zhi reached out and held her face in his hands, coaxing her softly, "Don't make a fuss. It's dark now, and the guests in the inn are all resting."
Jiaoran was choked. She didn't expect her mother to say something like this first. If it were in the past, she would definitely slam the seat in anger and seek revenge on those who bullied her.
There was a jade ring on the hand that was holding her cheek, which made her face feel a little uncomfortable.
Only after she let go of Jiaoran did Jiaoran see clearly what kind of ring it was.
How could that be!
That day, Mu Jin and Fenghuang Chu tricked her into the secret passage and took away the secret book. The jade ring clearly fell into the mercury pool. How could it be in A Niang's hand now?
She thought about it for a moment, yes, it must be Mu Jin who used other similar rings to please A Niang, he was good at winning people's hearts.
"Mother, don't believe him, you know he—"
"Okay, Jiaoran, it's too late today. Tomorrow, I will take you to wash up and let your father take a good look at you." She interrupted hurriedly, not caring about what she said.
Jiaoran wanted to argue, but his eyes stopped at Mu Jin's furrowed brows and pale face, as if he was so frightened that he almost fainted.
A'niang pushed her and said, "Alright, alright, let's go back to the room and talk. You must be tired after the long journey. Go get some sleep first."
Jiaoran suddenly lost his temper, pushed A Niang, pointed at the man and said, "I don't want to sleep, A Niang, why don't you listen to me? This man is called Mu Jin, the young man I served in the Governor's Mansion. I don't know what tricks he used to deceive you, but he and Fenghuangchu conspired to lock me in an underground secret room and wanted to drain my blood." Mu Jin, this despicable villain, is extremely shameless.
She wanted to continue, but Mu Jin interrupted her with a cold voice, "Really? You are so bold! You stole Gao Shan Shou and you dare to come back?!"
Jiao Ran looked puzzled, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
He was in a state of confusion. Although he had waited for her, he wanted to push her out of the turmoil immediately and keep her away from the blood and killing. "Get out of here!"
"Fuck you!" Jiaoran rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache. Was this guy crazy? He actually said such outrageous words in her house. He was really throwing shit on her face. "Let's settle all the new and old grudges tonight."
Jiaoran used his most powerful Eagle Claw skill. Mu Jin raised his eyes and suddenly Jiaoran moved, turning his palm into a claw. He was already in front of him, with his fingers like golden hooks. This move was neat and quick.
When Jiaoran's hand was about to reach him, he couldn't even believe that this was the kind of kung fu Jiaoran could use.
"It's okay, it's okay, my martial arts have improved a lot." Mu Jin thought to himself.
Seeing that she was about to strangle Mu Jin's throat, with the golden hook stuck in his throat, as long as she closed her fingers, Mu Jin would have no way out.
At this moment, Zhou Zhi raised his elbow and suddenly knocked Jiaoran over.
But she shook her body unconsciously. Jiaoran probably had murderous intentions in this move, and it was 100% of his strength.
She looked down on the child, thinking she was still the good-for-nothing she was when she left home.
Jiaoran was not willing to give up and struck Mu Jin with another palm.
Mu Jin did not sit and wait for death. If he died in her hands today, she would probably not be able to escape death either. He had not yet thought of a way to break the deadlock. There should not be a deadlock between him and Jiaoran.
He stepped forward and attacked, palm and fist clashing, but they were no longer as gentle and affectionate as they were a few years ago. He only felt a pain in his wrist after receiving the attack, but his face showed nothing.
Mu Jin's block did not completely neutralize Jiao Ran's killing move. The remaining force made him stagger. Zhou Zhi took half a step forward and sneak attacked her from the side as she was attacking Mu Jin.
Jiaoran felt her shoulder tremble, and when she turned her head, her heart ached. It turned out that it was her mother who hit her.
She was stunned for a moment, unable to understand why her mother would hit her because she wanted to hurt Mu Jin.
"What are you waiting for!" Zhou Zhi shouted towards the door.
