Chapter 370 Showdown with Xia Dongtian
Chapter 370 Showdown with Xia Dongtian
Xia Ling understands very well that now, he is not married and technically still single, and he can still deceive himself.
But if he is married, he is a married man, do he really want to be a mistress?
If so, she herself would despise herself.
Mu Sichen's tone sank a little, and he said, "At that time, you can decide for yourself. If you don't want to stay by my side, you can leave, but my promise just now will be void. You'd better believe it, only me , I can save your dad!" Looking at his expressionless face, Xia Ling suddenly found that his cruelty and indifference were almost beyond her imagination.
The feelings she thought, the feelings she gave her sincerity and youth, in his eyes, were just a transaction that could be made with reason.
Xia Ling nodded and said, "Then it will be a one-year period. If after one year, my father's case is still upheld, or there is no progress, then we... will make a clean break."
Mu Si's dark eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, and he said in a low voice, "Okay, it's up to you, take a rest."
Only then did Xia Ling obediently close her eyes, no longer rejecting his touch.
Mu Sichen turned off the night light beside him.
In the darkness, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Xia Ling's mouth.
It seemed that...it wasn't a bad loss for me to get a turn for the better in my father's case after being drenched in the rain all night.
Only by comforting herself in this way, can she continue to stay by his side shamelessly in this shameless way, continue to please him, please him.
……
When Xia Ling woke up the next day, her throat was completely hoarse, and she was too painful to speak.
Luckily, she took antipyretics early last night, but she didn't have a fever, but the severe cold also tossed her to death.
All the bones in her body ached terribly, she tried to get out of bed to get a glass of water, but found that Mu Sichen hadn't left at all.
He came in from the outside, still wearing home clothes, and lightly reprimanded: "Who made you come down barefoot?"
"I want to drink water."
As soon as Xia Ling opened his mouth, he realized how ugly his dry and hoarse voice was.
Mu Sichen went to pour water for her, handed it to her, and said, "You should rest at home, I have already asked for leave from work for you."
Immediately, he touched her forehead and asked, "Is there any discomfort? If not, go to the hospital."
Xia Ling shook his head and said, "I'm just sleepy and want to sleep. And... I feel like vomiting."
After finishing speaking, she suddenly put down the water glass, ran to the bathroom, and retched.
Her stomach was overwhelmed, but from last night to this morning, she didn't eat anything, so she didn't vomit anything.
Mu Sichen followed quickly, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Otherwise, you should go to the hospital."
Seeing Xia Ling's uncomfortable appearance, Mu Sichen inevitably felt a little guilty.
If her mother and Bai Yahui hadn't treated her so well yesterday, she would not have become what she is now.
Mu Sichen was afraid that she would get hurt in the rain, so he said, "I cooked porridge, you can eat some porridge first, we'll go to the hospital later."
Xia Ling rinsed his mouth, waved his hands, and said, "I'm fine, I'm probably hungry, and my stomach is not feeling well. I just want to sleep now, and I don't want to go to the hospital."
Mu Sichen had no choice but to give up, and gave her a bowl of porridge for her to drink.
Sitting on the sofa on one side, looking at a pile of documents, dealing with official business.
Seeing that he hadn't left, Xia Ling asked with some doubts, "Aren't you going to work?"
Mu Sichen looked up at her, and said, "I'll go when you get better."
These words made Xia Ling's heart inexplicably at ease.
After she finished her porridge, she got into the quilt again.
Xia Ling showed a small head, just looking at the man on the sofa working seriously, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
Even though she knew that such a self was worthless.
But she really likes Mu Sichen's face, this man's every move reveals the demeanor of a mature man.
Especially the way he was pointing Jiang Shan at work made her admire and awe spontaneously.
Until sleepiness hit, she fell asleep again.
Later, after sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she vaguely heard his voice on the phone.
Mu Sichen was on the balcony at the time, calling Mrs. Mu.
Over there, Mrs. Mu pretended to be innocent and said, "How did I know that little vixen was on the balcony? I just thought it was going to rain and wanted to close the balcony door for you."
Mu Sichen said in a heavy tone, "Mom, if you want to talk like this, it's meaningless. We are mother and son, and you can't hide your thoughts from me. If you do something like this with Bai Yahui next time, I will immediately Just go and annul the engagement, I will do what I say!"
"Okay, I just locked her out on purpose. How about it?" Mrs. Mu snorted coldly, and said bitterly, "Don't forget, that's Xia Dongtian's daughter! She's not a pity to die!"
Mu Sichen thought of the grievance Xia Ling suffered last night, and his heart still hurts.
He said patiently: "Mom, I understand your feelings. But now is a society ruled by law, you know how heavy the rain and thunder last night were. If someone is killed, you are just asking for trouble! Even if I'm a lawyer, even if I have a hundred mouths, we can't get rid of such a crime! Have you considered it?"
Mrs. Mu was silent. After a long time, she said in a low voice: "Son, I... I didn't think about it that much at the time, I just wanted to teach that vixen a lesson. Then she...is she still alive now? "
Mu Sichen twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, and said, "If she dies, do you think you will be safe and sound? Now, the police have already come to your door to look for you!"
At the balcony door, Xia Ling heard his words clearly.
It turned out that Mrs. Mu knew she was on the balcony yesterday, and she did it on purpose.
As for Mu Sichen, the reason why he was so anxious from yesterday to today, and took care of her so carefully, was not because he was worried about her.
He just...
He was helping his mother, protecting Mrs. Mu and Bai Yahui.
At this moment, Mu Sichen finished calling and found her standing at the balcony door.
There was a strange look in the man's eyes, and he said, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Xia Ling clenched her fists tightly, the tears in her eyes crumbling.
"It turns out that you all know that I am on the balcony. Lawyer Mu, you are very lucky. Fortunately, I am still alive, otherwise, your mother might be in trouble. What am I to you? Even if it is A kitten and puppy that has been raised for five years can't be so indifferent, right?"
She laughed at herself, tears rolled down her cheeks, but she quickly wiped them off, not wanting to be looked down upon by him.
Mu Sichen had just finished calling his mother, and her mother mentioned the engagement again, so he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed now.
In addition, Xia Ling misunderstood him, and immediately, Mu Sishen's tone was a little cold: "Do you have to be so sensitive? If you can remember your own identity, you won't ask me such a stupid question!"
After speaking, he went straight to the house and left her alone.
It seems to be blaming her for always asking these tricky and serious things.
The relationship between them is true or false, he doesn't understand why she insists on getting to the bottom of it!
Xia Ling's heart was completely cold, and she returned to the bedroom in a daze.
Her heart was as uncomfortable as a needle prick.
Mu Sichen was the cruelest, most selfish and egoistic man she had ever met.
Everything she suffered last night didn't seem to matter to him.
The important thing is that his mother didn't kill her, so she won't get into trouble.
At noon, Mu Sichen walked into the bedroom slowly.
At this time, Xia Ling was sitting on the rocking chair by the French window, looking out the window with his face slightly sideways.The woman who was once so proud and bright is now always a little sad.
Looking at her pale face, Mu Sichen's heart trembled.
It's a pity that apologizing is not his strong point, he is used to being arrogant.
Just like that, he walked up to her, stretched out his hand to stroke her hair, and said in a soft voice: "You don't have to take what I said to my mother just now, and it's not aimed at you. Lingling, you I have been with me for five years, I thought you knew me. I just don't want them to trouble you again and again. "
Only then did Xia Ling look away, and it fell on his calm face.
It seems that this is the first time that Mu Sichen has said such things from his heart to her.
But she was still very aggrieved, and asked, "What about me? Could it be that I deserved to be teased by them and drenched in the rain for so long?"
"I didn't handle this matter well. Trust me, I will give you an explanation." Mu Sichen held her in his arms, patted her on the back lightly, and said, "I don't have to lie to you."
Xia Ling believed that what he said was true.
After all, for a person like Mu Sichen, with her and his identities, why should Mu Sichen lie to her?
In fact, sometimes, cheating is also because the other party is very important, so it takes this thought to make up lies.
Xia Ling knew that he was not that important.
And she also knew very well that his so-called confession was probably nothing more than giving her a gift in a few days to make up for it.
Feeling a little disappointed, Xia Ling suddenly misses her father very much.
In this world, only her father is the one who really loves her and thinks about her.
If her father was not in prison, if her father was still by her side, she would definitely not allow others to belittle her and bully her like this.
Therefore, she begged in a low voice: "Can you take me to see my dad? I... miss him, I miss my dad..."
When Mu Sichen heard her mention Xia Dongtian, he was subconsciously displeased, and even his face turned cold.
But the little woman in his arms looked at him tearfully, and he really couldn't refuse.
He thought, if he was really in the body of any woman in his life, Xia Ling would be the only one.
"it is good."
He still agreed to her and said, "I'll make arrangements for these two days."
Only then did Xia Ling smile through his tears, and a glimmer of hope finally ignited in his eyes.
Mu Sichen's eyes were unpredictable, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
In the afternoon, while Xia Ling was fast asleep after taking cold medicine, Mu Sichen went out.
……
Haicheng Prison.
Mu Sichen cleared up the relationship and had a private meeting with Xia Dongtian.
Xia Dongtian didn't know Mu Sichen well, he didn't even know him.
Until Mu Sichen introduced himself expressionlessly, "Hello, my name is Mu Sichen, and I am Mu Huafeng's son."
Xia Dongtian was shocked on the spot, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he was incoherent in fright, "You...what do you want to do?"
"I've already done what I want to do." Mu Sichen smiled, and said, "Back then, your Xia family's bankruptcy, your economic crimes, and your daughter... Mr. Xia, you were all stuck inside. Five years, still haven't figured out why I went in?"
At this moment, Xia Dongtian truly understood that all of this was written by Mu Sichen.
Back then, he thought it was all a conspiracy of the Jane family.
Suddenly, he thought of his daughter, and wanted to stand up and question Mu Sichen like crazy.
It's a pity that he was wearing handcuffs and shackles, so he could only sit on a chair.
Xia Dongtian stared at Mu Sichen in horror, and asked, "What did you do to my daughter? Tell me! What did you do to my daughter?"
Mu Sichen smiled, and said: "It's nothing, it's just teaching her how to serve me, please me, and please me."
Xia Dongtian's heart seemed to be pierced by a knife.
Thinking of the daughter he raised in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and after he was imprisoned, became Mu Sichen's plaything, he was heartbroken.
It was worse than killing him.
"You! What happened to your father back then was my fault, and it's all my fault!" Xia Dongtian said with a trembling voice, gritted his teeth: "But Lingling is innocent, I beg you, let my daughter go, don't hurt her! Even if you kill me, I will admit it! Please, let Lingling go!"
Mu Sichen looked at the broken and crazy man in front of him, and it seemed that he had found an outlet for years of depression and hatred.
But he knew that it was not for this that he came here today.
If he just wanted to stimulate Xia Dongtian, then he could do it any day in the past few years, and he didn't have to wait until this time.
Mu Sichen said coldly: "Because Xia Ling is innocent, I don't want her to be involved in this matter."
Xia Dongtian was stunned, and looked at him blankly, "You...I don't understand what you mean."
Mu Sichen said word by word: "I can let Xia Ling visit you regularly and let your father and daughter meet. But I hope she will never know about these things. You should be very clear about your daughter's character. She knows It's not going to do her any good."
Although Xia Dongtian didn't understand Mu Sichen's purpose for doing this, he didn't want Xia Ling to know what he did back then.He didn't want the tall and stalwart father in his daughter's heart to become a mercenary, a villain who dared to do what he didn't want to do, and destroyed a family!
Now that things have happened, Xia Dongtian understands the current situation, and also understands the situation of his daughter.
He knew that he was not qualified to negotiate with Mu Sichen.
Therefore, he prayed: "I beg you, be nice to Lingling. She has only had me as her father since she was a child, and her mother didn't want her when she was very young. But at that time, she was already sensible, This incident hurt her a lot. Over the years, in order to make up for her, I spoiled her temperament a little bit. If she offends you somewhere, you must not...don't treat her..."
Xia Dongtian burst into tears, and couldn't speak anymore.
Mu Sichen just stood up indifferently, ready to leave.
Before leaving, he said: "And I don't want her to know about the fact that I came to look for you today."
In this way, he left Haicheng Prison.
From this day on, Xia Dongtian completely collapsed, living in worry and fear every day.
Because, he didn't know what stage Mu Sichen's revenge had reached?
I don't even know what kind of things are waiting for their father and daughter next?
