4 min read1,113 words

This is not the first time Mu Xu has heard Yan Haocheng mention Wanguo Hotel. She didn’t care about it that time before. This time, when she heard Yan Haocheng mention the 11th floor, she already had an unknown premonition in her heart.

“Yan Haocheng, what are you trying to say?” Mu Xu clenched his palms tightly, and some guesses in his heart were already about to come out.

She stared at Yan Haocheng sternly, her eyes were blood red.

Yan Haocheng looked at her and said in a dumb voice for a long time: “You should already know what I’m going to ask if you ask like this. That night, I was drugged, so I did something unconscious later!”

Mu Xu clenched her fists and almost lost control several times. She used all her strength to control the hand she almost threw at Yan Haocheng’s face.

She took a deep breath and said to him in the most normal tone: “I don’t remember what happened five years ago.” She turned and left.

At the moment she turned around, tears dripped from her eyes.

In the past five years, no one would understand the chagrin and remorse in her heart. She thought countless times that if she hadn’t gone to catch rape with Qiqi back then, Qiqi’s life would not have become like that.

This man ruined Qiqi’s life.

Back then, only she watched with her own eyes the desperate despair she cried when her parents severed their relationship with her.

Only the moment she saw Qiqi knew she was pregnant, she was helpless when she hugged her arm and asked what to do.

Only she saw how dangerous Qiqi was in order to give birth to two children. Even at the last minute, when the doctor asked her if she wanted to protect the child or the adult, she clung to her hand and said: Mu Xu, if I die, you must help me take good care of my children and parents.

Mu Xu didn’t look at Yan Haocheng any more, she turned around indifferently.

“Mu Xu…sorry!” Behind him, Yan Haocheng’s voice sounded, without his usual indifference and aloofness.

Mu Xu turned her back to Yan Haocheng and said, “Yan Haocheng, I’m sorry for being five years late! Also, I am not that person, you made a mistake.”

She finished saying this and left.

Yan Haocheng frowned as he looked at her back, his doubts in his heart getting deeper and deeper.

Not her……

After Mu Xu left, Zhang Guodong came in: “Sir, isn’t it Miss Mu?”

Yan Haocheng raised his head again and glanced in the direction Mu Xu had left, and shook his head: “It’s not her!”

From the moment Yan Haocheng saw the video, he felt that that person would not be Mu Xu.

It was intuition that told him that that person was not Mu Xu, so he directly asked Mu Xu to come and ask.

“So the recovered video is a coincidence?” Zhang Guodong felt a little unbelievable.

Even if it is a coincidence, there is no such coincidence in this world.

Yan Haocheng was silent for a moment, then said to Zhang Guodong: “Go and check the relationship between Tong Lingling and Gu Qiqi back then, as well as Gu Qiqi’s parents.”

Zhang Guodong was taken aback for a moment, and then responded respectfully: “Okay!”

……

When Mu Xu walked to Gu Qiqi’s side, there was no trace of gaffe on her face.

Seeing her coming back so quickly, Gu Qiqi was a little surprised and asked, “Mu Xu, what did Yan Haocheng say to you? Is it because you introduced me to the Yan clan and he asked you to question him?”

Mu Xu pushed her: “It is his blessing that he can invite you. If it weren’t for you today, what would happen to his grandmother is not certain!”

Gu Qiqi’s mouth was deflated: “Now he is my parents of food and clothing, how dare I say that!”

At this moment, Gu Qiqi finally felt Mu Xu’s strangeness. She frowned and asked, “Mu Xu, what’s the matter? Why are your eyes red, Yan Haocheng scolded you?”

“Do you think I am the one who will be scolded and cried?” Mu Xu looked at Gu Qiqi and asked rhetorically: “Qiqi, do you want to find the father of the child?”

This topic has always been a taboo between the two of them.

Gu Qiqi was silent for a long time, making Mu Xu think that she would be as silent as she had been so many times before, but this time she actually said: “I don’t want to know.”

“What if he is a rich and powerful person?” Mu Xu asked nonchalantly.

Gu Qiqi glanced at the two children, then smiled faintly: “If he is rich and powerful, then I don’t want to know who he is. What if he is so rich and comes to rob me of the child? I don’t even have the ability to grab a child with him.”

“Qiqi, you really haven’t thought about giving your two children to their father so that you can have your own future.” Mu Xu hesitated, she didn’t know if she wanted to tell Qiqi about Yan Haocheng.

She hopes that Qiqi can be happy. She knows Qiqi. If she knows that the father of the child is Yan Haocheng, maybe she will think about marrying Yan Haocheng for the sake of the child.

But she didn’t want her to completely ruin her life for the sake of her children.

Gu Qiqi saw that she didn’t speak, and looked at her with some worry: “Are you really okay?”

Mu Xu turned her back and said, “Let’s go, let’s take the kids to dinner! We are not hungry, the children must be hungry.”

Gu Qiqi still wanted to ask, but Mu Xu had already taken the child far away.

“Mu Xu, you wait for me!”

Not far behind, a figure looked at their backs from a distance.

That person was Tong Lingling. She stood at the entrance of the hospital and looked at Gu Qiqi’s back, staring in that direction with a distorted expression.

She took out her mobile phone and dialled a number: “Geng Jiale, do you know that Gu Qiqi is back? Back then, I helped you cover up your homosexuality, not only did you successfully retire from marriage, but also caused the Gu family to lose a lot of money. I helped you at the beginning, should you pay me back this time?”

Geng Jiale’s voice came from the other end of the phone: “What do you want me to do?”

“……”
