Liang's father watched his daughter's tall figure walk out of the house with a confused look in his eyes. For the first time, he felt that he could not understand his daughter.
On the way to the northern suburbs, Liang Ruoyi rolled down the car window. The cold and damp wind blew in through the window, making people feel cold.
It looks like City A is about to experience a rainstorm. This happens every year at this time of year, but this year the situation seems to be much more severe.
The bodyguard who was traveling with him was sitting in the passenger seat, observing the surrounding situation through the rearview mirror. This bodyguard was also a subordinate of Liang's father, and was brought here by Liang Ruoyi this time.
Liang Ruoyi didn't know where these people came from. She never paid much attention to her father's affairs. The people this time were randomly selected and looked like ordinary bodyguards on the surface.
When they arrived at the destination, Liang Ruoyi got off the car wrapped in a windbreaker. The wind was so fierce that she could hardly stand. This place was not as cold as in the city. The cold wind was raging and there was no stopping it.
Although it was daytime, the sky was already unusually gloomy. She looked up in the direction of the ninth floor and saw several lights on.
Liang Ruoyi entered the corridor. The old house built more than ten years ago had no elevator. She walked up the stairs slowly step by step, followed by several bodyguards.
When they were almost on the ninth floor, Liang Ruoyi took out her cell phone and dialed a number. Soon the call was connected.
"Mr. Mu, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. How have you been recently?" Liang Ruoyi's pretty face turned into an unpleasant one. Mu Li could hear the meaning behind her words.
"Very good." Mu Li was on his way back to the army. He sat in the back seat of the car, leaning back, with the window half open. It was very cold inside the car. "You are one day closer to your death."
Liang Ruoyi's face darkened. When she walked to the door, she signaled the bodyguard to open it. As she walked in, she looked for Chen Qudong's shadow. After making sure that he was staying well in the room, she relaxed her brows with relief.
Compared to Lin Qing, she was more worried about Chen Qudong's reaction. If he didn't go with her later, everything she did now would be in vain.
Destroying Lin Qing was for revenge, and taking Chen Qudong away was what she really wanted.
Once a woman is addicted to love, she can do anything terrible, but in front of the person she loves, she will lose no matter what she does.
But this time, she didn't want to lose.
"Mr. Mu, I don't have time to beat around the bush with you. I think you should know why I'm calling." Liang Ruoyi walked closer to the room where Lin Qing was locked up and asked the bodyguard to open the door. She appeared silently at the door and glanced inside. Lin Qing got up and was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to her, motionless as if in a trance.
Mu Li had thought early on that since Lin Qing was in Liang Ruoyi's hands, Xu Yuan's matter would not end easily.
"Tell me what you want to do."
Liang Ruoyi deliberately raised her voice, with a hint of teasing in her tone: "What can I dare to do? I will never break my promise to you. But I think the second elder of the Mu family is too ruthless. They actually admitted in front of everyone that Xu Yuan is their daughter-in-law. In this case, what is Lin Qing? Isn't she your wife, Mr. Mu?"
On the way here, Liang Ruoyi specifically checked and easily found Xu Yuan's name.
Liang Ruoyi's voice floated into Lin Qing's ears. Lin Qing's back obviously stiffened. She clenched the bed sheet tightly with both hands, and her fingers hurt.
What did she hear
Is Xu Yuan the daughter-in-law of the Mu family
Why, because of the aborted child
Lin Qing had no idea what had happened in the past few days. Here she was completely isolated from the outside world. She could never have imagined that so much would happen and so many changes would happen in just a few days. Now, before she even waited for Mu Li, she could no longer stand by his side.
Mu Li on the other end of the phone curled his lips coldly: "Since you know, why are you asking?"
"What's the use of me knowing? The person involved in such a big thing is still unaware of it. Mr. Mu, aren't you being too heartless to do this? After all, Lin Qing was your woman and you touched her so many times. Now you just throw her away like that. Eh... It hurts me just looking at it." Liang Ruoyi stared at Lin Qing's back with regret. Seeing that the back was trembling more and more, she raised her eyebrows with satisfaction.
Are you feeling uncomfortable
When you find out that you have been abandoned by the man you love, is it heart-wrenching pain
Lin Qing, do you know how I felt when I found out that Chen Qudong used me just to get you
pain
The pain you are feeling now is not even one ten-thousandth of what I am feeling!
Mu Li's dark eyes were cold and he couldn't see into her eyes: "It's not your turn to take care of my affairs."
"It's not my turn, but I want to seek justice for Lin Qing today. Mr. Mu, do you want everyone to think that Xu Yuan is your wife and completely abandon Lin Qing? This kind of thing is no joke." Liang Ruoyi stood at the door, and every word she said clearly entered Lin Qing's ears.
Lin Qing never looked back, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
"Ask for justice?" Mu Li sneered and tapped his leg with his slender fingers. "When did Miss Liang become so caring?"
"I don't have that kind of thing." Liang Ruoyi turned on the loudspeaker on her phone while speaking, and asked again into the microphone, "I just want to hear from Mr. Mu himself, who is your wife now?"
Mu Li frowned, not knowing what tricks Liang Ruoyi was trying to play. If she recorded the conversation like she did before and tricked him into telling the truth, then Lin Qing's parents might be in danger.
Thinking of this, Mu Li clenched his fists without moving his eyebrows: "That's right, as you know, Lin Qing is no longer my wife. Xu Yuan is the woman recognized by the Mu family."
Lin Qing's whole body stiffened, and her face turned pale instantly. She could no longer ignore it, and her soft shoulders trembled slightly.
Liang Ruoyi smiled and closed the phone with satisfaction, then put the phone to her ear again: "It seems that Mr. Mu is really cold-blooded and heartless."
Mu Li no longer had the patience to beat around the bush with her, and said in a cold voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I was planning to do something, but now I feel that doing nothing is best. Mr. Mu just said that this is your own business. What right do I have to interfere?" Liang Ruoyi hung up the phone and admired Lin Qing's back.
Loneliness, despair, and bone-chilling cold.
Lin Qing bit her lips so hard that they almost drew blood.
She never cared about her status before, and always thought that as long as she was by Mu Li's side, it would be fine. But now she finally understood that such a thought was ridiculous.
If she is no longer Mu Li's wife, can she still stay with him
Liang Ruoyi did initially intend to let Mu Li say something to defend Lin Qing so that she could contain the development of the whole matter.
But her ambition was not that big after all. Seeing Lin Qing's painful expression at this moment, she felt that it was much more exciting than helping Lin Qing regain her identity as Mrs. Mu.
Since it was his father who wanted to bring down Mu Li, let him figure it out on his own. These things had nothing to do with her.
Liang Ruoyi put away her phone and knocked on the door, saying jokingly, "How about it, Lin Qing? Are you excited to hear such exciting news so early in the morning?"
Lin Qing didn't move or speak.
"Are you mute?" Liang Ruoyi didn't expect Lin Qing to be so calm. Could it be that she had no reaction at all to what Mu Li said just now
Lin Qing was just tired. She was really tired. Anyone's words could be false. She didn't know who to believe. Even Mu Li's words just now sounded so false to her.
It's not that she didn't want to believe it, but she was too lazy to believe it.
"Lin Qing, aren't you a talkative person? Why aren't you talking now?" Liang Ruoyi obviously didn't get the response she wanted, and she looked unhappy. She raised her eyebrows and took two steps forward. The sound of her high heels was irritating to Lin Qing. "How do you feel about being suddenly abandoned by a man?"
"Do you want to know?" Lin Qing did not turn around. Although his voice was hoarse, it was not as desperate as Liang Ruoyi expected. "Unfortunately, I won't tell you."
"Lin Qing, you really won't cry until you see the coffin." Liang Ruoyi sneered and turned around. Her long hair that had been blown by the wind just now fluttered on her shoulders. As soon as she turned around, she saw that the door of Chen Qudong's room was open.
"What's going on?" Liang Ruoyi's face changed instantly, she stared at the door and walked towards it quickly.
The bodyguard behind him was about to explain when another bodyguard walked over with a glass of water and handed it to the person in the room. Chen Qudong stretched out his handsome hand, took the glass and drank it all.
After Chen Qudong finished drinking the water, he immediately handed the cup back.
His eyes were dull, as if he didn't see Liang Ruoyi. He finished drinking the water and went back to his room.
"Adong?" Liang Ruoyi called him and stood behind Chen Qudong when she spoke again, "What's wrong with you?"
She noticed at a glance that Chen Qudong looked unwell and thought he was sick.
Indeed, this house had not been occupied for many years, and it was cold and gloomy at night. Not to mention that Lin Qing looked sick, even Chen Qudong's body could not stand it.
Liang Ruoyi couldn't bear to be cruel to Chen Qudong, so she reached out to touch Chen Qudong's forehead.
Chen Qudong was pulled by her and turned around. Seeing her actions, he did not dodge, but instead raised the corners of his lips to smile.
"Adong..." Liang Ruoyi was stunned for a moment, looking at the smile in disbelief. He hadn't smiled at her like this for a long time, as if there was no utilitarianism or prejudice at all.
Liang Ruoyi paused with her hand stretched out in the air, and just as she was about to put it down, she was grabbed by Chen Qudong.
"Ruoyi, I miss you." Chen Qudong's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had a cold. He spoke bluntly and didn't say much, which was really different from the previous few days.
His eyes were light and slightly weak, but they made his voice sound more charming, which aroused Liang Ruoyi's feelings.
He looked a little weak, as if he had returned to being the gentle and elegant man he used to be. Liang Ruoyi was held by the wrist by him, and her body was pulled into the room by him.
The bodyguard consciously closed the door and stood guard at a distance.
Despite this, the house was filled with alluring humming sounds, and the wooden bed, which was originally of poor quality, was creaking, making people feel itchy.
The bodyguards looked at each other. It seemed that the lady had already conquered the man named Chen.
Inside the house, Chen Qudong leaned over and kissed the corner of Liang Ruoyi's lips again, and then he took out a long ribbon from behind him like a magic trick.
Liang Ruoyi was slightly startled, then smiled. The man's voice above her head sounded ambiguous: "Don't you like these?"
Liang Ruoyi raised her head, welcomed his hot kiss and put her hands on her head: "You always said that I was not good for this."
"I think it's nice to have some variety occasionally." Chen Qudong's eyes were burning with flames that almost burned her.
Liang Ruoyi's cheeks were flushed. At this moment, her mind and eyes were filled with Chen Qudong, and she had no intention of thinking about anything else.
Chen Qudong tied her hands to the head of the bed, and after making sure they were secure, he completely tore off her clothes...
