Thinking of Mu Hui's explanation, Xue Mingzhu's palm oozes with sweat. Although it was uncomfortable and sticky, she subconsciously clenched her fists tighter, trying to gain some courage and strength.
"Mingzhu?" Xue Mingzhu's silence made Xue Ci's eyes darken, and his tone was more gentle, but his eyes fell on Xue Mingzhu with a mistake. "Didn't the doctor tell you to rest more?"
There are already doubting elements in these words, but Xue Mingzhu is in a state of confusion now and has not noticed this.
"Ah... um... I, I just woke up... My mouth was a little dry, I just wanted to get down and get a glass of water... "
"Pour a glass of water?"
Xue Ci repeated it several times, and Xue Mingzhu nodded hurriedly.
"Then why don't you go in?"
With a stiff expression, Xue Mingzhu's eyes flashed slightly.
Just when she was thinking about how to explain it, Lin Xiyun's voice came from behind.
"Pearl? Aci? Why are you here?"
Xue Ci did not expect that Lin Xiyun and Xue Mengwu would appear, and after a moment of surprise, he nodded slightly. "Dad, Mom."
Lin Xiyun glanced at his son and took Xue Mingzhu's hand again.
"It's cold at night, why don't you put on more clothes before going down?"
Lin Xiyun's gentle tone soothed Xue Mingzhu's unease, and made her forget about the conversation she had just heard.
"I'm fine mom, don't worry."
Here, Lin Xiyun and Xue Mingzhu were talking softly, and over there, Xue Mengwu and Xue Ci were already talking about business.
The scene of a happy family of four, at first glance, looks warm and warm, but in fact, the four of them have their own thoughts and plans, but they just don't show it on their faces.
"elder brother… "
"Um?"
"Even when I was hospitalized, my sister didn't come to see me. You tell me, she won't..."
Xue Mingzhu did not say what would happen, but her eyes already revealed everything.
Xue Ci quietly looked at this little sister who made him feel more and more unfamiliar.
"It's alright, didn't I say that Chun'an went to see you? It's just that you were already asleep at that time, so she left first without disturbing your rest."
This is not the first time Xue Mingzhu has asked Xue Ci this way, and Xue Ci's answer is always the same.
Hearing him say this in the past, Xue Mingzhu would pull out a reluctant smile and leave in despair.
But this time she didn't.
"Brother, can you ask my sister out for me?"
Hearing this, Xue Ci's action of flipping through the document stopped.
"You want to see Chunan?"
"I want to see my sister." Xue Mingzhu clasped her hands in front of her with a sincere attitude. "I think my sister misunderstood me. Although something like that happened... But I know everyone is innocent. It's just an accident. I don't want my sister to have a quarrel with me because of this."
Xue Ci's gaze moved down and stopped for a moment on Xue Mingzhu's wrist wearing a watch.
"Yes?"
"Well, brother, can you help me?"
Xue Ci did not answer immediately, but asked another question.
"Where's Lu Qisheng?"
This name made Xue Mingzhu's body stiffen unconsciously.
Although the reaction was subtle, it did not escape Xue Ci's eyes.
So he continued to test.
"If you want to be with Lu Qisheng, I can explain it to my uncle and aunt, as well as my parents."
This sentence finally made Xue Mingzhu's calmness difficult to maintain.
"Do not!"
Realizing that her reaction was too excited, Xue Mingzhu bit her lip and took a few breaths before she reluctantly said, "The wedding invitations of elder sister and brother Lu have already been printed, so changing it like this will cause a lot of trouble."
"You don't have to worry about this. I'm your brother, so naturally I'm thinking about your happiness." Hearing her say this, Xue Ci smiled. "You can give up your life for Lu Qisheng. If you want to come, your parents and uncles and aunts can understand..."
"It's not like that." As if afraid that Xue Ci would continue speaking, Xue Mingzhu hurriedly interrupted him. "I, I just couldn't think of it for a while, because Brother Lu misunderstood, I... chose such a silly way to prove my innocence."
The woman's slender and thin body was shaky, and a forced smile appeared on her pale face.
"I finally managed to convince myself to accept this, brother, please stop joking with me, okay?" His eyes blinked and tears flashed. "I really don't want to get hurt again."
she begged.
Xue Xue was trying on a dress when she received a call from Xue Ci.
It was because Mu Rong hoped that Xue Xue would attend a dinner party with him.
In the past, Mu Rong never attended such occasions, and his nephew, Mu Ziyang, who was about the same age as him usually attended instead.
Mu Ziyang's father was Mu Rong's second brother, Mu Tian, who was also the illegitimate son of Mu Yidian.
Unlike others, Mu Tian has been raised by Mu Rong's mother Luo Xuefen since he was a child, because Luo Xuefen thought that he would never have children of his own in his life. So when Mu Rong was born, Mu Tian was already married and his wife was a geologist.
Not long after, Mu Tian's wife was also pregnant.
The child born less than two years old to Mu Rong is Mu Ziyang.
Unlike the Mu family who are obsessed with power and plunder, Mu Tian yearns for an unfettered life and a vast world he has never seen before. So after Mu Rong was born, he had a showdown with Luo Xuefen, in exchange for his power in exchange for freedom.
In the next five years, with the help of Luo Xuefen, Mu Tian successfully escaped from the Mu family's control, and took his wife and children to the north and south of the Yangtze River. After half a year, she was brought back to raise by Luo Xuefen.
