Chapter 139 (First Update)
139:
Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoting chuckled and said with considerable pride, "That's right."
Their baby is practically the apple of his father's eye, no, he's the apple of their whole family's eye.
After all, their baby is so cute!
Seeing her laugh, Li Jing finally dared to voice his doubts, "Was that really your boyfriend just now?"
"Of course not!" Mu Shaoting said without hesitation, "I'm not blind!"
"Then you'll eat together?"
"That was for official business."
"Official business? You two have official business?"
“Yes.” Mu Shaoting glanced at him. “But it’s gone now, and it won’t be in the future either.”
Ye Qingxi: Well, let him say it.
Easy peasy, goodbye jerk~
Li Jing nodded; it was Mu Shaoting, whom he knew well.
When Mu Shaoting was in kindergarten, she would play house with him while angrily complaining about how bad her dad was.
He kindly agreed with her for a couple of minutes, but Miss Mu threw the toy baby down with a "smack," her eyes wide with anger, and shouted, "Don't you dare say bad things about my dad!"
His posture suggested he was about to hit him if he said another word.
Please, wasn't it her who complained first, and only then did he, as the "child's father," cooperate?
At that time, Li Jing clearly realized that she could speak freely about Miss Mu's family, but anyone else who dared to utter a single word would be bombed by her.
Although Li Jing didn't know exactly what happened today, judging from how Mu Shaoting protected the child behind him, it was most likely related to the child.
This is Old Master Mu's precious son, and naturally also Mu Shaoting's family. Especially since he's still a child, Mu Shaoting will only protect him even more.
His fake boyfriend didn't even know this; he deserves to be ruined.
However, thinking of Mu Shaoting's fake boyfriend, Li Jing was a little worried. Although he waited for Mu Shaoting to leave for a while before letting go, the elevator was really slow. He could run into Mu Shaoting again, so what if his fake boyfriend could too?
Mu Shaoting is spoiled and arrogant. The three men in her family have spoiled her so much that she has no sense of lawlessness. She has no one around who can fight back, and she dares to lay a hand on others even while she has a child with her. And it's not just a simple slap, but she beats people until their heads are swollen, especially in public. Who can tolerate that?
So he watched the elevator doors open on the first floor, said nothing, and silently followed Mu Shaoting and Ye Qingxi out.
Mu Shaoting: ? ? ?
"Weren't you going to basement level two?"
"...I'm going to buy cigarettes."
Mu Shaoting looked disgusted. "You even smoke."
Li Jing: ? ? ?
"It's perfectly normal for men to smoke."
“We don’t smoke in our family anymore,” Mu Shaoting said matter-of-factly.
She doesn't smoke, Mu Shaoyan is too young to smoke, and Mu Shaowu is an idol, so he can't smoke either. Only her older brother and her father smoke.
But after her older brother and sister-in-law got married and she lived with Qin Cheng, she gradually stopped smoking.
Later, when Ye Qingxi came to their house, her father gradually stopped smoking.
Ye Qingxi nodded: Yes, although his uncle used to smoke when he was a "kill-matt" (a subculture characterized by flamboyant and often outrageous behavior), he has stopped now that he has graduated from his "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) phase!
Mu Shaoting never liked people smoking, so no one in her family dared to smoke in front of her. Now that the only two people in her family who used to smoke have quit one after another, she is naturally even more satisfied.
Li Jing: ...
What could Li Jing say? All he could say was, "Luckily, I'm not from your family."
Mu Shaoting looked at him with disdain, "You? Dream on!"
After saying that, she pulled Ye Qingxi and walked out of the mall.
Li Jing followed them, and only after seeing them get into the car did he feel relieved and turn back to the elevator, going down to the -2 floor.
Ye Qingxi got into the car with Mu Shaoting and leaned against her.
"Auntie, did you just tell Uncle Li that you and Brother Yang Yu will no longer discuss business?" he asked innocently.
Mu Shaoting nodded, "That's right, he bullied you, how could I possibly still pay attention to him!"
Ye Qingxi was relieved.
That's exactly what he wanted to hear.
"But baby, why did you suddenly go to his place?" Mu Shaoting asked with concern. "Did he send you there?"
That malicious bastard!
Ye Qingxi shook his head. He had already thought about how to answer this question. "I just want to see him up close."
He said, "It's my first time meeting him, so I wanted to get a closer look and see if his nose, eyes, and mouth are good-looking, and whether he's a good match for you, Auntie. After all, you're so beautiful, so my uncle has to be good-looking too!"
Mu Shaoting laughed, finding him adorable.
Her little nephew is so cute, she was even thinking about whether they were a good match, but Yang Yu actually pushed him!
You bastard!
They really didn't hit them hard enough!
Mu Shaoting wished he could turn the car around and go back for another round.
"Maybe I got too close and Brother Yang Yu didn't like it, so he pushed me away," Ye Qingxi explained, feigning concern. "Actually, I'm really fine, Auntie. I just lost my balance and fell."
"That's his problem too!" Mu Shaoting said, completely biased. "If you look at him closely, he'll just let you look properly. He's not like he's had plastic surgery, why would he be afraid of being seen? Even if he really doesn't like you, why can't he just say it? Why does he have to resort to violence? Doesn't he know how big and strong he is?! And that's what! He even tried to hit you just now!"
Mu Shaoting still remembers how her little nephew stepped on Yang Yu's foot for her, and that bastard actually raised his hand to hit her nephew!
She hit her nephew in front of her!
This is absolutely outrageous!
And you still like her? You still pursue her?
Get lost!
You bastard!
Seeing her face puff up instantly, Ye Qingxi figured she was probably thinking about what had just happened again, so she quickly rubbed her hands and tried to calm her down.
"But let's not tell Grandpa and the others about what happened today when we get back," Ye Qingxi said.
Otherwise, his grandfather and the others would feel sorry for him, and might even blame Mu Shaoting.
He said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I won't say anything. Grandpa is old, and I don't want him to worry."
Mu Shaoting: ...
Mu Shaoting immediately felt guilty again.
Ye Qingxi is only five years old, but she already knows how to be considerate of her grandfather.
She's already so old, yet she brought the child out and almost got him hurt. Her dad will definitely be angry and worried about that.
It's all her fault! She shouldn't have gotten involved with Yang Yu in the first place!
"Okay." Mu Shaoting replied, "I'm sorry, baby. Next time, Auntie has decided not to let you be alone with strangers again."
If she hadn't left then, Yang Yu definitely wouldn't have dared to make a move, and Ye Qingxi wouldn't have fallen.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi: ...
He said the Mu family was overly protective of him!
Yang Yu wasn't exactly a complete stranger, and besides, she was going to the restroom! They can't expect her to never go to the restroom when they go out together in the future!
Ye Qingxi felt it was unnecessary. "Aunt, it's not your fault. Next time, I won't get so close to people. I'll stay far away from them, and they won't be able to touch me."
Hearing his soft words, Mu Shaoting thought he was really obedient and even knew how to comfort her.
She hugged Ye Qingxi and affectionately nuzzled his little face.
Ye Qingxi then rubbed her cheek against hers in return.
After she finished, Ye Qingxi reminded her, "Auntie, won't someone see what happened today?"
"Then let's watch it." Mu Shaoting didn't care at all.
"But you want to be a star, won't that be bad?" He feigned ignorance. "Dad said that stars have to be good people, do good deeds, and not hit people~"
Mu Shaoting: ...You can't hit someone for no reason. She had a reason for doing this, so what is she afraid of?
She acts with complete self-righteousness wherever she goes!
But if this video gets out, won't Ye Qingxi be exposed?!
What if netizens indiscriminately attack, blaming everyone equally, including Ye Qingxi?
That won't do!
Moreover, if she does that, her father will find out, and he will inevitably get angry, which is bad for his health.
Mu Shaoting quickly told the driver, "Turn around and take us back to the mall we just left."
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
No, I didn't tell you to go by yourself!
If we go now, what if Yang Yu hasn't left yet?
But probably not, Ye Qingxi pondered. It's been so long, they should have left by now.
Ye Qingxi was worried about her and insisted that she call the restaurant first to ask if Yang Yu had left and how long he had been gone.
"That gentleman has already left." The manager, who had a strong impression of the two of them, immediately replied, "He left about fifteen minutes ago."
Ye Qingxi: !!
Fifteen minutes? That's way too short!
What if he hasn't gone far and is still inside or nearby the mall?
Ye Qingxi dared not be careless.
This matter cannot be known to the Mu family, so his uncle cannot be allowed to handle it.
However, Mu Shaoting, like him, was at a disadvantage in fighting.
What should we do?
It's hard to find people.
Wait a minute, Ye Qingxi thought of Li Jing, who had just parted ways with them.
The fact that he was able to capture Yang Yu so tightly that he couldn't break free proves that he is definitely more powerful than Yang Yu.
Why don't we call him back?
He seemed quite concerned about his aunt's safety, so maybe he'd be willing?
“Auntie~” Ye Qingxi shook her arm, “Call Uncle Li and tell him to wait for us at the mall entrance, we’ll go together.”
"Huh?" Mu Shaoting felt it was unnecessary. "He's been gone for fifteen minutes, he's fine now."
"What if? What if the elevator doors open and we're staring at each other?" Ye Qingxi said. "Wouldn't that be terrible?"
Mu Shaoting: ...
Mu Shaoting felt it couldn't be such a coincidence.
However, she dared not be careless when it came to Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi has already been pushed once. If she gets injured again because of her going back to delete the surveillance footage, then she would truly deserve to die.
Thinking of this, Mu Shaoting took out his phone and called Li Jing.
Although they didn't go to the same school in junior high, they are still in the same circle and occasionally run into each other.
So I do have their contact information.
Seeing that it was her call, Li Jing answered with a puzzled look: "What is it now?"
"Go back to the mall now," Mu Shaoting said.
Li Jing: ? ? ?
"ah?"
"I need to go back to the restaurant. Didn't you tell me to take care of my own safety? So come over here for a moment."
Li Jing: ...Well, so they're treating him like a bodyguard.
It's even free!
What are you doing back at the restaurant?
"Of course something's wrong," Mu Shaoting said. "Hurry up, I'll wait for you at the door."
After saying that, Mu Shaoting hung up the phone.
Li Jing: ...
Li Jing had no choice but to turn around and go back to his new job.
Ye Qingxi didn't let Mu Shaoting pay the fare until she saw Li Jing, and then they got out of the car together.
Mu Shaoting was both amused and exasperated, thinking that his sense of security was indeed very strong.
That's good, she thought. He's just a kid, so he needs to be more safety conscious so he won't get hurt.
She pulled Ye Qingxi to stand in front of Li Jing.
Ye Qingxi said sweetly, "Uncle Li, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome," Li Jing said with a smile.
This child is much more sensible than his aunt.
He had just helped Mu Shaoting, and he was the one who thanked him first.
What a well-behaved and adorable child.
If only Mu Shaoting were this well-behaved.
But then Li Jing thought that everyone has their own personality, and Mu Shaoting being so well-behaved was not the Mu Shaoting he knew.
“Let’s go, I’ll go up with you,” he said.
When the manager saw Li Jing accompanying her upstairs, he politely asked her what was wrong.
Li Jing had been here a few times before. He was good-looking, had a grand presence, and was generous with his money, often giving them tips.
Therefore, when Mu Shaoting and Yang Yu were fighting, the manager wanted to stop them, but stopped after seeing Li Jing interfere.
Young Master Li clearly wanted this girl to vent her anger, so they naturally had to give him face.
Right now, "Is there something you need?"
