Mu Li's Adam's apple rolled, and his low voice was as cold as a pond.
Xu Yuan was annoyed. He grabbed the marriage certificate and held it in his hand, wrinkling his fingers. "If she doesn't leave today, I will let her go tomorrow. Mu Li, do you think she will stay after we get married? I know Lin Qing. She's not that shameless!"
Mu Li didn't want to hear her say another word, so he slammed the door and left without even picking up his coat.
Thinking of Lin Qing’s smile and light tone just now, he felt a splitting headache. Did she really not care
When Mu Li rushed downstairs, he could no longer see Lin Qing. A taxi drove past the main entrance of Coast One without leaving any trace of lingering.
Lin Qing didn't stay on the road and went straight home.
Lin.
Lin Qing came back dragging a suitcase. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mother Lin standing up from the sofa in the living room and walking towards him.
"Qingqing, you're back." Mother Lin's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying. Father Lin stood a little further away and did not come forward, but only gave her a comforting and supportive look.
Just by looking at it, Lin Qing felt a bitter warmth in her heart. At least this was still her home.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Lin Qing put down her suitcase and was hugged by her mother before she could close the door. Somehow, she felt much better all of a sudden.
Mother Lin was furious when she thought of the injustice her daughter had suffered. Her voice had changed from crying: "Let's go! Let's go to the Mu family and ask for justice!"
Lin Qing grabbed her mother and hurriedly closed the door: "Mom, are you so angry that you are confused? What kind of justice can you get by going to the Mu family?"
Mother Lin naturally understood, but she just couldn't swallow this breath: "They are really powerful. They tricked us into going abroad for a trip, and then they did this to us when we came back! Why, their children are more important, and my daughter is going to be bullied by others?"
They had learned some of the twists and turns from the Mu family's housekeeper, but those lame reasons were not enough to be an excuse to hurt Lin Qing!
"Things have come to this, what else can we do? Since they can do this, it is because they have considered the consequences. Mom, don't be angry. Mu Li tried to stop me and refused to let me go, but I still came back. Your daughter did not embarrass you." Lin Qing hid her sadness very well. Mother Lin was slightly stunned. Her Qingqing was really different.
In the past, at such a time, she would definitely not be able to bear it and burst into tears, but now she can be so calm and composed.
Father Lin couldn't tell whether he was relieved or sad when he heard this, so he went forward to take his daughter's suitcase and said, "You two are standing at the door talking endlessly. Come in quickly because we'll have dinner soon."
Mother Lin finally reacted and dragged Lin Qing into the house. When she reached the door, she turned around and ordered Father Lin behind her: "You go cook today."
"Yes, yes, my dear wife." Dad Lin took off his glasses. It had been a long time since he saw his wife so fierce. He was a little uncomfortable with it.
Lin Qing was dragged into the room by her mother. She was hiding something in her mind, and she was a little absent-minded while talking. Mother Lin patted the back of her hand and called her several times: "Qingqing, what are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about Mu Li?"
Lin Qing slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at his mother's face: "No, I'm so hungry. I'm wondering what Dad will cook tonight."
Mother Lin also knew that her daughter wanted to comfort her. Thinking that her daughter was the one who suffered the most along the way, she really shouldn't say too much at this time, so she grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Let's go and see if your father blew up my kitchen."
Lin Qing laughed and followed behind him in small steps: "How can it be so exaggerated? Dad's cooking skills are also very good."
Mother Lin glanced at him when she heard this, and Lin Qing quickly changed her words: "Of course, my mother's cooking skills are the best."
"Well, your father's tricks are only good enough to fool others."
It has been a long time since such a plain but warm conversation took place. Lin Qing couldn't help but think of everything with Mu Li. They had been happy before...
During the meal, it was a rare occasion for the family of three to sit together like this. After Lin Qing came back, he felt much more relaxed and ate better than before.
Mother Lin kept picking up food for her, and soon the small bowl was almost full.
"Mom, why didn't I notice before that you like to pick up food for others so much?" Lin Qing said as he hugged the bowl and hid aside. The chopsticks that Lin's mother handed to him again missed, so he had to put the food into his own bowl.
Father Lin was watching with great pleasure, pushing his bowl forward from time to time and saying, "Wife, can you give me some food too?"
Mother Lin glanced at his belly and said, "You've gained a lot of weight recently. Eat less."
Lin Qing held the bowl and smiled secretly, he ate a lot in the whole meal.
After dinner, Lin's father was sent to wash the dishes, and Lin's mother took Lin Qing to the living room. Lin Qing was cutting an orange while listening to her mother's questions. Halfway through, she handed a piece of the cut orange to her mother and said, "Mom, have some fruit."
Mother Lin took the orange and took a bite. Just as she was about to praise her daughter, she suddenly realized something was wrong: "Do you think I talk too much?"
Lin Qing put down the fruit knife and took a piece of it and put it in his mouth: "How could that be? I feel sorry for you. You must be thirsty after talking for so long."
After eating one orange, Mother Lin reached for the second one. As soon as she touched the orange, she turned around and said, "Qingqing, I remember you didn't like oranges before. You said they were too sour."
Lin Qing suddenly thought of the hospital's test results and almost choked. She dodged his gaze and smiled: "I also feel that my taste has changed a lot."
Mother Lin was still suspicious. She was always sensitive to this kind of thing. Fortunately, when she asked again, Father Lin came over from the kitchen and said, "What are you talking about? Oh, there are oranges to eat. I'll join in the fun too."
Mother Lin glared at him, and Father Lin had to sit aside in dismay. But his daughter was sensible and immediately handed him a piece: "Dad, you eat it."
The atmosphere was harmonious, but no one in the family of three wanted to mention the incident. This might be the only way they could protect their daughter.
After watching TV for a while, the three of them laughed so hard that Lin Qing ate a lot of oranges. She took a piece of paper and wiped her hands: "Mom and Dad, I want to go abroad in a while."
"Going abroad?" Upon hearing this, Mother Lin lost interest in watching TV and looked at her daughter carefully. "Why did you suddenly go abroad?"
Lin Qing immediately gave his father a look for help, then looked at his mother: "I want to study abroad. Although I have been working in the company, I still feel that my ability is not enough."
Father Lin was bribed by Chengzi just now, so he also helped to speak up: "I think my daughter's idea is good."
"What's good about that? Isn't it good to let Qingqing live with us? It's not like we can't afford to support her."
"Mom, this is not a question of whether I can afford it or not. I also want to develop well." Lin Qing's attitude was firm. This was something that Mother Lin had not expected. She could see that her daughter was not just saying it casually.
But she suddenly wanted to leave, which must have something to do with Mu Li. It was probably because this incident hurt her so deeply that she didn't want to stay here anymore.
Deep love does not bring longevity, and fate is always shallow.
Lin Qing had made up her mind. She had thought a lot before leaving the hospital. She wanted to keep the child, not for Mu Li, nor for the Mu family, but simply for herself.
Firstly, this is her child, if she wants to keep it, she has to make herself stronger. Secondly, she and Mu Li are already divorced, and when her belly gets bigger, it will be hard to avoid confusion.
Mother Lin knew Lin Qing's personality. Once he made up his mind about something, he would stick to it to the end. So she didn't say anything more. Several words rolled in her throat but she swallowed them down in the end.
How could she not understand her daughter's feelings
But she was willing to go out and leave this sad place.
Naturally, Mr. Lin also stood on his daughter's side.
"There is one more thing I want to ask my parents for." Lin Qing was silent for a while and then spoke again, his eyes earnest, "I have a friend who had an accident before and still needs treatment, but she has no relatives in City A. I thought my parents could help me take care of her while I am abroad."
When Mother Lin heard about the incident, she thought it was a pity that such a good girl was turned into that. She and Father Lin looked at each other, and neither of them objected.
"Okay, don't worry, we will treat her as our own daughter." Mother Lin looked at Lin Qing today, and her heart suddenly felt relieved. Her daughter had grown up and was no longer the Lin Qing who always hid herself.
Well, one day my daughter will go her own way and no longer rely on their protection.
Mu Li hadn't driven fast for many years, but tonight a silver car flashed by at the speed of light on the road, as daunting as a ghost in the dark night.
The car was going so fast that the man in the driver's seat couldn't see the road clearly. The scenery on both sides kept receding, and the scenes looked like a dream.
The cell phone rang and Mu Li pressed the answer button. The adjutant's voice seemed to be covered by something. He was driving so fast that he could hardly hear the voice on the phone.
"Commander, the hospital surveillance you asked me to check last time, the woman who banged on the door, has just been found."
Mu Li frowned coldly. He almost forgot about what happened so long ago.
That’s right, so many things happened after that, who would care about that
But since he had found out, Mu Li casually asked, "Who is it?"
The adjutant's answer was somewhat beyond Mu Li's expectations: "He is an employee of Madam's company. He seems to have a good relationship with Madam recently. His name is Liu Ke."
Liu Ke, isn’t he the Xiao Ke who took a long time to inform Lin Qing when he got into trouble
A sneer appeared on Mu Li's thin lips. What a coincidence.
He went back to the Mu family two hours ago, and he had no intention of leaving with a smile the moment the door of the villa opened for him. But he didn't expect that the truth he learned in the end was even more ridiculous than he imagined.
At that time, his mother and father were in the study. His father was reading a book and his mother was making tea. As soon as Mu Li entered the room, he smelled the long-lost fragrance of tea. It could be seen that the two elders were in a good mood.
"Mom and Dad, you are all here." Mu Li initially just wanted to solve Xu Yuan's problem. After all, he couldn't really accept this marriage.
Shen Yuhe's expression changed slightly when she saw Mu Li come in, but she still smiled: "Have you dealt with all the military matters?"
Mu Li raised his eyebrows. With the two elders suppressing him, who would dare to cause trouble
However, Mu Yonghao knew that the reason why the incident did not become a big deal was mostly due to Mu Li's own ability. His son had now consolidated his position, and others would be even more wary of him in the future.
"Of course." Mu Li took a long step and fell into the soft sofa. "I came here today to explain one thing. I can't let Lin Qing leave."
The two elders were silent for a while. After a while, Shen Yuhe spoke: "Son, can you really not let go of Lin Qing?"
