Miss Mu and the Canary

At the end of the party, Mu Xing didn't know how she got back to Mu's house. When she woke up with a splitting headache, it was already noon the next day.

She had a headache as if being tested by Dr. Mu, she sat up with a wrinkled face, and when she looked up, she saw her mother's cold face.

Mu Xing immediately covered his face and wanted to lie back down: "Oh, my head hurts so much, I'll lie down again..."

"Why lie down?" Mrs. Mu saw through her poor acting skills at a glance, "Now I know it hurts? Why didn't it hurt when I was drinking last night? What is it like to be sent back by the young master of the Tang family smelling of alcohol!"

"Isn't this just for fun? If you're not careful..." Mu Xing shrank back into the quilt, pretending to be pitiful.After listening to Mrs. Mu talking for a while, she tentatively asked, "My dad...?"

"Your father? Heh, do you still know that you are afraid of your father?" Mrs. Mu glared at her angrily. Seeing that she really looked pitiful, she calmed down a little, "Your father went to bed early last night, I I was playing cards with your aunt, so I didn't make a fuss and let your dad know, if I found out, I'm afraid I'm going to go to heaven!"

After talking about it for a while, it was not until Mu Xing swore that he would never play like this again that Mrs. Mu accepted the supernatural power.

Asking someone to bring hangover soup in, Mrs. Mu said again: "I discussed it with your Aunt Song, let's get together at Pingjin Hotel tomorrow to discuss your marriage with You Cheng, don't go to the clinic today, Take it easy at home, don't go to see your mother-in-law in such a mess tomorrow."

Burying his face into the bowl, Mu Xing curled his lips.

What are you afraid of, she just went to wear it with real gold and silver, and when the time comes to talk about Song Youcheng, won't it be useless no matter how good-looking it is?It's so unkempt, maybe you can earn some sympathy.

Mrs. Mu talked about the wedding again: "I have discussed with your father, uncle and aunt, and when you get married, the Changping cloth workshop at home will be assigned to your name. Both you and You Cheng are not good at economics. , you don’t need to manage the accounts, just get the share..."

"... We have also discussed the hotel. You young people naturally like Western style, but Chinese style is also a must. I have already taken a fancy to the wedding dress shop. I just wait for you..."

Listening to his mother talking about various matters one by one, Mu Xing couldn't help feeling guilty.

If my parents found out about Song Youcheng raising a woman, they would definitely be furious...

Speaking of it, she was going to talk to Song Youcheng about retiring the engagement yesterday, but was interrupted by Mr. Tang, and it was delayed.The matter has come to this point, today it is necessary to make an appointment to talk about it, and there is no need to think about how to choose. Now she is only worried that she will make the elders sad and fail such a serious plan.

Just as Mu Xing was thinking about it, Mrs. Mu said again: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot. I received a call from the second son of the Tang family this morning, saying that you must return him, as if it was about the bracelet."

bracelet?What bracelet?

Mu Xing nodded suspiciously, indicating that he knew.It wasn't until after Mrs. Mu left that she washed and dressed, and sat in front of the dressing table, it suddenly occurred to her that she seemed to have given Miss Bai the engagement bracelet that Aunt Song had given her last night!

She recalled what happened last night in detail, but she didn't remember much about it, but she did put the bracelet on Miss Bai herself.

After thinking for a while, Mu Xing fell down on the table angrily, and couldn't help but bumped his head against the table.

Oh my god, what did she do? As a token of engagement, the bracelet must be returned!

It's a mistake to drink, damn it, do you want her to go to Miss Bai now to get the bracelet back?Then do you want her face?

But I can't help it... How about buying some other jewelry as compensation, just as a replacement for the bracelet?

Mu Xing lay down on the table annoyed and thought for a while, it seemed that this was the only way to look less embarrassing.

Time waited for no one, she was about to get up and change clothes, when she suddenly thought that Miss Bai seemed very happy when she received the bracelet last night.

"Ah... It's a mistake to drink..." He fell back on the table, Mu Xing was annoyed and didn't know what to do.

She really can't do it, so she wants the things back!

She was annoyed when suddenly Fu Guang knocked on the door: "Miss, Mr. Song is calling."

Sighing, Mu Xing got up and walked out.

If it doesn't work, I can only feel sorry for the Song family, why not give Song Youcheng a vaccination today...

Unexpectedly, as soon as she picked up the phone, Song Youcheng on the other end of the phone asked eagerly before she could speak: "Axuan, did you give away the bracelet we were engaged to?"

Mu Xing: "...Are you the roundworm in my stomach?"

"What roundworm?" Song Youcheng sounded very anxious, "Let's meet, right now?"

Mu Xing was rushed by him: "Okay, okay."

Mu Xing didn't realize it until he sat in the appointed cafe.

How did Song Youcheng know about the bracelet?

Also, my mother said this morning that Mr. Tang also called to talk about the bracelet... Could it be that the bracelet is an incredible treasure, so many people suddenly care about it?

Fortunately, Song Youcheng also arrived soon.

"Ah Xuan, your complexion is not very good, did you not rest?" Before sitting down, Song Youcheng looked at her several times worriedly.

Not in the mood to gossip, Mu Xing went straight to the point: "How do you know about the bracelet?"

Song Youcheng still looked at her worriedly: "Ah Xuan, tell me first, why did you go to drink flower wine with Mr. Tang and the others? Is it because of the marriage contract? I know you are sad, but there is really no need to hurt yourself like this... "

Mu Xing raised his eyebrows: "Am I that kind of person?"

Song Youcheng quickly shook his head: "No!" Then he said: "But I'm really worried, why are you..."

Worry?If you're worried, why do you do those things?

"For fun, okay?" Mu Xing refrained from saying too harsh words.

Quickly accepting this reason, Song Youcheng handed over a newspaper: "You read it."

Mu Xing took the newspaper in puzzlement.

The newspaper is called "Wenjiang Fanhuabao". At first glance, it is no different from ordinary newspapers. The division of labor in each section is clear, and the headline has a very sensational headline: Shocked, the son of the returnee is in love, and the adopted daughter of the consultant is happy. As a token, there is a comment: The light of Guoshu!

Mu Xing was inexplicable: "What Guoshu...wait?!" She quickly turned back to the headline section, scanning the past at a glance.

"This," she looked at Song Youcheng in surprise, "Is this about me?"

It was written in the newspaper that "a certain M surname" and the third son were immersed in the gentleness of the country, and they did not hesitate to offer sky-high jade bracelets just for Bai Yan, the adopted daughter of the military adviser, to smile and so on.

Although the facts are good, the words used are ambiguous and intimidating, as if she has become some kind of evil ghost.

Song Youcheng sighed: "This newspaper is Wenjiang's entertainment newspaper. It specializes in reporting some gossip news in the hall, digging out the secrets of the affairs of famous prostitutes and celebrities. On the one hand, it entertains readers, and on the other hand, it can also give famous prostitutes self-promotion. .”

The last sentence he said was very straightforward, Mu Xing frowned: "You mean Miss Bai used me as a springboard?"

Song Youcheng shook his head: "I can't tell." But it is obvious who the beneficiary is.

Mu Xing didn't respond.

Song Youcheng looked at her, and said again: "But that's not the point, you used a fake identity, and your name and surname were not mentioned in this newspaper, so you don't need to worry about your reputation being affected. I was so anxious just now, just worried about you It's because of me..."

"Stop, stop." Mu Xing raised his head to stop him, "I'm fine."

Song Youcheng shut up obediently.

After hesitating for a while, Mu Xing said, "Let's talk about the bracelet. If we want to divorce, do I have to return the engagement bracelet to you?"

Song Youcheng nodded: "Yes."

Mu Xing shrugged awkwardly: "But now...?"

"I thought about it on the way here just now, it's impossible to let Miss Bai return the bracelet." Song Youcheng said, and Mu Xing nodded in support.

"This bracelet is actually not an orphan. I know a jade collector. I have seen a similar bracelet from her. I can sell it to her and you can return it to my grandma."

"Very good." Mu Xing was very satisfied.

Song Youcheng suddenly showed embarrassment again: "It's just...that female gentleman is not in Wenjiang now, and it may be more than a month before she comes back..."

Mu Xing: "...but tomorrow my mother and your mother are going to talk about marriage."

Song Youcheng sighed: "Ah Xuan, I'm sorry for you, but now is not a good time to retire."

Mu Xing nodded: "I know, the old lady is not in good health recently."

Pressing his forehead in silence for a while, Song Youcheng reluctantly opened his mouth: "It's not just a family problem..."

Mu Xing frowned.

As if he had finally mustered up his courage, Song Youcheng finally said: "I... want to marry her."

After a while, Mu Xing realized that the "she" refers to the Japanese woman.

Song Youcheng said vigorously: "I want to marry her, so I have been working hard to build my own business, but everything is not settled yet, if my family finds out about it, I'm afraid it will be..."

He didn't say any more, but Mu Xing understood everything.

It is said that the Japanese woman is a dancer in the ballroom, and everything is not settled yet. If they divorce now, Song Youcheng and her will definitely have no good results.

Mu Xing was a little emotional for a while, feeling that Song Youcheng was willing to marry that woman, and even made all kinds of preparations; for a while, he was a little sad...

He had never treated her so carefully.

Seriously looking at the person in front of him, Mu Xing finally expressed the question in his heart: "Youcheng, the engagement must be terminated, but before that, I want to know, why did you choose that woman?"

Even willing to give up her and everything behind her for her.

Song Youcheng was silent for a while.

He said, "Because I love her."

He looked at Mu Xing and said seriously: "Ah Xuan, I didn't know that I had never had such 'love' for you until I met her. Of course, I know that you have never had this kind of 'love' for me either."

"Maybe I'm too self-righteous, but Ah Xuan, do you think you loved me?"

Mu Xing was stunned.

like…?

These days, she has been sad and angry, but she never thought about why.

Is it because of love?

Or, just because of her possessiveness?Her habit?

"Ah Xuan, after you've been away these years, I gradually feel that I like you, admire you, and am willing to follow behind you, but this is just like the relationship between brothers and sisters, not the relationship between a man and a woman. Are you My friend, sister, leader, but not my lover." Song Youcheng said.

"I didn't know what it's like to really love someone until I met her. I miss her all the time, take her happiness as happiness, and feel sad because of her unhappiness. I want to possess, but I prefer to let her free."

"But these, Ah Xuan, have we ever had them?"

After hearing Song Youcheng's words, many thoughts swirled in Mu Xing's mind. She wanted to deny it and find evidence to prove it, but in the end, she had to admit that she really never loved Song Youcheng.

Even for so many days, she has thought about Miss Bai more than Song Youcheng... No, let's not think about Miss Bai now.In terms of the past few years in the United States, she didn't seem to think much about Song Youcheng at all.

She only knew that she was going to get married after returning to China, but she didn't know why she wanted to get married, and she didn't know such words as "love or not".

Standing at this moment and looking back at the past, Mu Xing was suddenly in a trance.

All these years, has she come here without knowing what to say?
