Mu Jingping received a call from Shen Jiuyan the day after Shen Tingxi left, which happened to be the weekend. He asked her to go to his old house and said he had something to talk to her about.
After Mu Jingran hung up the phone, she called up Shen Tingxi's number, wanting to call him and tell him that his father had asked her to meet. She was very nervous, but she just stared at the number in trance for a while, then turned off the phone and changed it. He put on his clothes and went out.
When she arrived at the Shen family's old house, the servant led her in and took her to the door of the villa where Shen Tingxi took her last time. She stopped and said, "Miss Mu, please come in. Master Jiu is waiting for you inside."
Mu Jingping nodded slightly, said "thank you" softly, and squeezed the hand in front of her hard before raising her feet to go in.
Entering the hall, just like last time, Shen Jiuyan was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar, but there was no Shen Tingxi by his side. The low-key and luxurious living room seemed to be filled with heaviness and indifference, which made the nervous Mu Ningran feel extremely stressed.
She swallowed lightly, trying to steady her frantic heartbeat, but the effect was not obvious. When she walked to Shen Jiuyan, her palms were already wet with sweat, "Uncle Shen."
Shen Jiuyan looked at Mu Jingjing with deep eyes, and his eyes stayed on her for two seconds. When he took the cigar away from the corner of his mouth, he pointed to the sofa opposite with his chin, "Sit."
Mu Jingping said "Thank you" and sat down opposite Shen Jiuyan obediently. She didn't dare to look at him, but she felt it was impolite to lower her head. She sat upright and dignified, with her face facing forward and her eyes slightly lowered as she looked at the glass coffee table in front of her.
Shen Jiuyan said nothing, and his eyes fell on Mu Jingping through the faint smoke. The girl opposite had clear eyes, a nervous expression, pure and beautiful facial features, no makeup, and exuded a clean and calm temperament that made people feel at ease.
Such a girl feels as pure as a blank sheet of paper. This is probably related to her life experience and experience. Her unbearable past has made her close herself off and completely disconnected from society, so she can remain so pure.
Shen Jiuyan suddenly understood why Shen Tingxi was so obsessed with this girl.
They are people who are wandering around in the rain of bullets, exposed to dangerous and bloody scenes, and their hearts are in a state of high tension all day long, but this girl has a refreshing and calm temperament, which can make people like them feel comfortable to look at. Relax your nerves and alertness.
Mu Jingping endured Shen Jiuyan's scrutinizing gaze, and a layer of sweat broke out on her back. The hands on her legs were clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, just when she couldn't bear his gaze any longer. , he spoke.
After speaking, Mu Jingping felt a sense of relief. The silent observation was like a pressure cooker pressing on her heart. It was simply too painful.
He asked: "Do you know what Xi'er does?"
This was the third time Mu Jingjing heard such a question. The first time was from Shu Xin, the second time was from Mu Yiqing, and now it was Shen Jiuyan. She already knew the answer from the conversation with the previous two people, so she nodded, "Yes. .”
Shen Jiuyan was a little surprised. This girl had never seen much of the world at first glance. She was so nervous to meet him. If she knew about those dangerous and bloody things, would she have to stay up all night
Will Xier tell her
Never will.
"Would you rather tell me what Xi'er does?"
Mu Jingping glanced at Shen Jiuyan, his eyes were too sharp, and she immediately looked away, "Form into gangs... sell arms... kidnap for extortion... and kill people..."
Her voice was soft and soft, and the taste of these cold and harsh words changed when they came out of her mouth, becoming less murderous.
The surprise in Shen Jiuyan's eyes was even worse. He didn't expect that she really knew. It seemed that he underestimated her ability to bear it. However, the surprise in Shen Jiuyan's eyes was only fleeting. Calmness and indifference quickly took over his facial nerves, no longer beating around the bush. , said directly: "You are not suitable for Xi'er. Being with him will not only put yourself in danger, but also put his life in danger."
Mu Jingping looked at Shen Jiuyan with a confused expression. She and Shen Tingxi were in danger together. She knew that she was not afraid, but why would Shen Tingxi's life be in danger
Shen Jiuyan bowed to the ashtray on the coffee table and shook the ashes from his cigar, "People like us cannot be devoted to one woman, let alone have a family."
Mu Jingping was even more confused. Didn't Shen Jiuyan have a family
Shen Jiuyan sat up straight, his eyes darkening for a moment, "Xi'er and Qiu Lan have been kidnapped countless times. Xi'er even saw her mother being bullied and abused by others. The more I want to protect their mother and son, the more... Some people want to put them to death, and Qiu Lan and Xi'er are also my fatal weaknesses. For them, I often go to the ghost gate to report."
Mu Jingping didn't expect that Shen Jiuyan would tell her this, nor did she expect that Shen Tingxi and Ju Qiulan had gone through so much. Her heart was in turmoil, and her back was dripping with cold sweat.
Shen Jiuyan looked at the pale girl opposite and knew that she had listened to his words. He took two puffs of his cigar and continued: "Xier almost killed Xin'er for you and beat Yu Anna. It shows that he regards you as a Very seriously, you will be his biggest weakness. He can now fool around with other women, but as time goes by, you will always be exposed. At that time, both you and him will be in danger, and in the future your The children will not have a stable life."
Mu Ningran's life was quiet and ordinary, how could he know what Shen Tingxi's world was like? Shen Jiuyan's words were like a bomb dropped into her heart, causing him to be completely confused.
Shen Jiuyan was not a soft-hearted person. He ignored Mu Jingping's dumbfounded look and continued: "If Xi'er is with Yu Anna, her personal safety will be greatly guaranteed. Yu Anna's father is the mayor, and her grandfather used to be in the State Council. When holding office, no matter who wants to do something, they will also weigh their own weight. Can they be enemies of the national government
Xi'er can disdain the power of the Yu family, but he must not offend it, otherwise there will be endless consequences. Now he has offended Yu Anna for you, but Yu Anna has hidden this matter from the Yu family. If the Yu family If Xi'er is put in a stumbling block, his path... may only be a dead end. "
Mu Jingping didn't know how she left the Shen family. She only knew that when she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the sofa in the living room at home. She looked like she had been fished out of the water. She was soaked with sweat and her clothes were tight. It sticks to the body, and the face is as pale as paper.
Mu Jingran sat on the sofa like a statue all day that day. Maybe it was because he had not changed his soaked clothes. Mu Jingran had a fever at night, and his mind was filled with nightmares, Lu Zhiwen's wretched face, Shen Ting The scene of Xi being covered in blood woke him up again and again, and fell asleep again due to high fever.
Over and over again, Mu Jingping didn't know day or night. She only knew that when she woke up again, she was in the hospital.
