Chapter 320 Everyone Goes Crazy
Mu Nanzhao and An Qinghe looked at each other.
Anqing and a provocative smile.
Mu Nanzhao sneered faintly.
In terms of momentum, neither of them was willing to back down even a little.
An Qinghe: "When you were in Huachidu Village, Aunt Zhang, Old Jiang, Xixi, Shitou, and I, who did you wrong? Yet you kept the secrets from us."
"The person is gone now, and he didn't leave a single word of truth. How can I be fair to everyone?"
Mu Nanzhao: "To be honest, I envy you. Life is all black and white, so you can have such a clear mind."
An Qinghe: "Don't you just want to say that I'm stupid? No matter how stupid I am, I'm still better than you. I even lied to the people closest to me."
"You can do anything for power, but who knows when you'll bite the people around you?"
Mu Nanzhao: "You're worrying too much. Gu Xixi already knew who I am. You should consider whether you are being too sentimental. You think they are close to you, but others may not think so."
An Qinghe: "Don't try to sow discord between Xixi and me. She didn't tell us about you, either because your identity was not public in the past, or because she had an agreement with you and out of moral obligation, she had no choice but to keep it a secret for you."
"Xixi has entrusted all the secret recipes for production to me. Have you ever had this kind of trust?"
"Also, Xixi and I came to the capital, but she never mentioned the Regent on the way. I guess she had no intention of meeting him at all."
Mu Nanzhao's calm expression finally showed a crack.
He picked up the teacup, drank the cold tea in one gulp, and suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes.
When Mu Nanzhao raised his eyes again and looked across at the opposite side, his expression had returned to his usual coldness.
He said with a hint of sarcasm, "I heard it just now, Boss Gu wants to avoid me."
Gu Xixi ate her porridge expressionlessly, knowing that it was only a matter of time before Mu Nanzhao pointed her out.
She looked at him without any surprise, "Yeah, that's right, I wanted to hide a little and not meet you, but I didn't expect to meet you anyway."
"I am sorry for causing trouble to the Regent."
Gu Xixi lowered her head symbolically and continued to eat her meal.
He Jinglan looked sideways in shock.
In the past, I always thought that Mu Nanzhao was a weird guy and hard to beat. Now it seems that Xixi has been tortured for too long. Is she better than him?
Of course, An Qinghe's performance just now was impressive, he stepped on the minefield crazily, making people worry that he might cause a bloody incident on the spot...
He Jinglan subconsciously turned her head, wanting to communicate with her brother about the experience of watching the fun.
But he found that He Jinghui was staring at An Qinghe with a strange expression. He didn't pay any attention to other people at all, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He Jinglan turned back helplessly, shaking her head secretly in her heart.
Everything is abnormal tonight!
Then, Mu Nanzhao stared at Gu Xixi and asked directly, "When did I ever say you were trouble?"
"I'm not the one who would abandon our friendship and avoid it as much as possible."
"Why does Boss Gu have to blame others like this?"
Gu Xixi was silent for a moment. She had already finished all the soup in the bowl of porridge.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said to Mu Nanzhao seriously, "My words just now were inappropriate."
"We should be grateful to the Regent for his deep friendship and loyalty, and for not forgetting the people we met when we were humble."
"First of all, I know myself well. If I were to borrow the power of the prince, I'm afraid no one would believe me."
"Secondly, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? I can't bear to use the Regent's connections carelessly, so I have to save them well."
She paused, looking somewhat troubled, her eyes revealing honesty, "At least right now... there really is nothing life-threatening that requires asking the prince for help. But in the future... I can't say for sure."
Mu Nanzhao's handsome face was finally stained with anger, "Gu Xixi!"
"So you only come to see me when you are in dire straits and have nowhere else to turn?!"
Gu Xixi nodded, "The Regent is in charge of state affairs. If I come to you for something as trivial as my greenhouse being blown down by the wind, wouldn't it be a joke if the news got out?"
Mu Nanzhao's face turned pale.
Others couldn't see it, but he could see it clearly that Gu Xixi did it on purpose!
But he knew better that what Gu Xixi said was all from her heart.
Looking back, it seemed that only a matter of life and death would force her to bow her head.
And most of the time when she didn't need to bow her head, she was even unwilling to say a word to coax him.
Yes, it’s all damn truth!
Mu Nanzhao took a deep breath without leaving any trace to calm himself down, "Do you want the woman you picked up to live, or do you want her to succeed in the lawsuit?"
Gu Xixi asked seriously, "Do you have to choose only one between justice and life?"
"I don't understand. May I ask the Regent, in your opinion, should Lu Jing live alone, or should he fight to the death to seek justice for his family and let the villain who has harmed countless people be brought to justice as soon as possible?"
Mu Nanzhao looked at her, a helpless smile flashing across his eyes.
"If I choose the former, would you say that I am a figurehead, unworthy of my high position, and deserve to be drowned by the spit of the people?"
Gu Xixi lowered her eyes, "I dare not."
Mu Nanzhao said unhappily, "Can you please stop calling me a commoner girl and make things difficult for me?"
Since she had seen the real deity in advance, Gu Xixi naturally accepted the request and said, "Your Majesty, I can do it."
Mu Nanzhao was furious, "Don't call me Prince!"
Gu Xixi glanced to the side, "...Sir? Young Master?"
"Or... sir?"
Mu Nanzhao almost choked, "How did you call me in the past? Can't we just keep calling me that now?"
Gu Xixi looked at him, "Chen Fang? But this is fake."
Mu Nanzhao gritted his teeth, "In the past, when there was no one else around, didn't you always call me Mu Nanzhao by my full name? What happened now? Did you lose your memory or are you afraid?!"
He Jinglan quickly stood up to smooth things over, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you yelling about? If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't get excited!"
Although if it happened to someone else, it would be hard not to be excited.
An Qinghe gloated, "Would the Regent also speak to people so loudly?"
"I thought you could keep this calmness forever."
An Qinghe just listened quietly and didn't say anything.
He knew that he couldn't help much with Lu Jing's matter, but since Gu Xixi decided to take the opportunity to ask Mu Nanzhao for help, he would not cause trouble for her.
Mu Nanzhao stood up suddenly and glared at An Qinghe, "Even if I hold it, it's not for you to see!"
"If you keep talking too much, I'll show you what I can do!"
An Qinghe stepped forward to challenge, "Hey, you don't want to beat me up, come on, come on, who knows who will win or lose!"
The Regent was not a graceful man to begin with, and once the mask was broken, it could not be closed again, at least tonight.
As the host, He Jinglan had no choice but to persuade both sides. Although she was shouting "Fight! Fight!" in her heart, she still had to act politely.
At this moment, He Jinghui, who had been lacking a sense of presence tonight, suddenly pounced over.
He slammed his hands on the table and yelled at An Qinghe with bloodshot eyes: "Why are you arguing with him! He doesn't like my sister!"
