Seeing that Lin Meijiao didn't move, she suddenly realized: "It's my fault. So you wanted me to help you get it."
Then, he picked up the wine glass on the table and placed it in front of her. Lin Meijiao looked at the wine in front of her with suspicion in her eyes. She stared at the wine in the glass and became more and more vigilant. She pushed it away and said, "No need, you can put it there."
Xu Qingqing put down her glass, looking regretful. "Does the guest not like this bottle of wine? It's alright, I'll get you another one."
After saying that, she picked up an empty wine glass, replaced it with another bottle, poured the wine, and brought it to her again. This time, Lin Meijiao realized that Xu Qingqing must have ill intentions. The wine was being pushed to her so frequently, so there must be something wrong with it. So she pretended to be unable to hold her liquor, rubbed her temples, and looked at Mu Cheng on the side.
"Mu Cheng, I'm a little drunk."
Mu Cheng paused, holding his wine glass, and then instructed Xu Qingqing, "Go to the kitchen and bring Miss Lin a bowl of hangover soup."
Xu Qingqing gritted her teeth and kept smiling: "Okay." The moment she turned around, she cursed him in her mind.
Mu Cheng stared intently at Xu Qingqing, then fell into deep thought. When that person stood here, he felt no tenderness towards Lin Meijiao sitting next to him; he only felt that touching her was unbearable.
Now that person is gone, he has become soft-hearted towards Lin Meijiao again.
Mu Cheng didn't know what was wrong with him. He clutched his chest and looked at Lin Meijiao beside him. His pupils darkened slightly. She didn't look like her at all. There wasn't a single thing about her that resembled her.
Lin Meijiao noticed that Mu Cheng's gaze was strange, and her heart tightened. Her voice carried a hint of nervousness: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my face?"
As she spoke, she picked up her small handbag, opened it, took out a small mirror, turned around to look at herself, and took advantage of the moment to quickly ask the system, "System, please check Mu Cheng's favorability rating for me."
The system opened the target character's profile and located the favorability rating: [Host, Mu Cheng's favorability rating is 10.]
Lin Meijiao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the favorability rating remained, that was fine. But why was Mu Cheng looking at her so strangely? She tried to calm herself down and prevent her panic from overwhelming her. She turned around and asked with a smile, "Mu Cheng, was there a problem with the way you were looking at me just now?"
Mu Cheng's eyes returned to normal slightly. He shook his head and said calmly, "It's nothing. I was probably just daydreaming."
Lin Meijiao still had some doubts, but she didn't want to delve into it further. After all, Mu Cheng still had a good impression of her, and she didn't want to make things awkward between them because of a misunderstanding. She smiled and said, "That's good. I thought there was something wrong with my face."
Mu Cheng didn't say anything more, finished the wine in his glass in one gulp, and played with the empty glass.
Lin Meijiao bit her lip. Normally, shouldn't he have pulled her into his arms to comfort her, even if it was just verbal comfort? If only he were like Zhang Jianguo.
Thinking of Zhang Jianguo, Lin Meijiao's eyes darkened. Although it was a pity, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have met Mu Cheng, and wouldn't have had the opportunity to climb higher and come into contact with a different world.
When Bai Xiaolian learned about Lin Meijiao's situation in the countryside, she immediately rushed there, even though she didn't know how her mother could shift the blame onto those people, especially Zhang Jianguo and Wu Mazi.
Therefore, she clarified that she had been forcibly assaulted, which led to Bai Xiaolian taking her out of the farm and bringing her home.
Several months later, when she realized something was wrong with her body, it was too late. She told Bai Xiaolian that she was pregnant, and Bai Xiaolian was so angry that she had a headache.
Once premarital pregnancy is exposed, what will others say? Not to mention the huge impact it will have, and the final outcome is predictable.
Bai Xiaolian had no choice. Since she couldn't go to the hospital, she could have an abortion privately using medication. After she told that person about it, he gave her a pill. However, this pill was extremely harmful. If she used it, Lin Meijiao would never be able to have children in her life.
In the end, she softened and Lin Meijiao stayed at home. At first, she didn't show much of a pregnancy, and her loose, bulky clothes could hide her belly so that no one would notice when she went out.
But as time went on, her belly grew bigger and bigger, and gradually her clothes could no longer cover it. She had no choice but to stay at home all day and not go anywhere until the day the child was born. She endured the pain and dared not make a sound. Finally, after a day and a night, she gave birth.
She didn't want to see those children at all. Just the thought that one of them might be Wu Mazi made her feel nauseous.
Lin Meijiao felt a surge of resentment. According to the month, the child was conceived on that day. Besides Zhang Jianguo, she wasn't sure if Wu Mazi had run into her that day. She didn't dare to gamble. Even if it was Zhang Jianguo's child, she didn't want it.
For her, she didn't want to give birth at all and couldn't wait to abort the child. Now that Zhang Jianguo was useless, why should she give birth to these burdens? Fortunately, things had already been arranged.
Mu Cheng had been observing Lin Meijiao's expression. He noticed that she was deep in thought, and her expression was very revealing, making her easy to guess what was going on.
Lin Meijiao was lost in thought and didn't realize that Mu Cheng had become suspicious of her. She was worried that Bai Xiaolian might have been discovered taking the children out. Things had already come to this point, and there was no turning back.
Xu Qingqing's appearance made Lin Meijiao realize that her identity was not safe. In order to prevent her past from being exposed and found out by Mu Cheng, so...
A sinister glint flashed in Lin Meijiao's eyes. She would settle her old and new scores with Xu Qingqing today.
