A group of people drove into the hall in a mighty manner, and each took a seat, with different expressions and thoughts.
Mu Lengrui filled a cup of tea, handed it to Meng Liangxian, and said apologetically: "Mrs. Dai, I'm so sorry. I wanted to give you a gift, but you were frightened. Can you calm down with a cup of tea?"
Meng Liangxian's face turned pale and he hesitated for a long time before taking the cup of tea. Although his mouth was dry, he couldn't drink the cup of tea. He made obvious swallowing movements and the muscles in his neck spasmed.
"Liangxian, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly? Are you sweating?" Dai Zhengde was surprised and took out a tissue and gently wiped away the sweat on her forehead.
"Zhengde, I'm fine, I just feel unwell suddenly. Let's go back early..." Meng Liangxian covered up, her hand holding the tea cup was trembling.
"Mrs. Dai, it's so hot, why don't I get you a glass of ice water?" Mu Lengrui thoughtfully clapped his hands, and Butler Yu quickly handed a glass of ice water to Meng Liangxian, who was sweating on her forehead.
He was panicking, no matter what kind of water he changed, it would be the same, but Meng Liangxian couldn't help but brush off Mu Lengrui's kindness. He took the water and took a sip. A cold feeling penetrated from the throat directly to the heart and lungs. It was indeed much refreshing.
At this time, her mind was clear and she was not as panicked as before. She calmed down and returned to normal: "Thank you, Mr. Mu, I didn't expect you to be so attentive and considerate... This glass of water is just right..."
Dai Yuxiao frowned. She saw the change in Meng Liangxian's demeanor and didn't understand why Mu Lengrui did this. This thousand-year-old fox was confused and refused to admit his mistakes. How could he help her stabilize her mind?
It seems that she has been calm and composed, and it will not be so easy for her to reveal her true colors.
She looked at Mu Lengrui angrily, but he had a calm expression and his eyes were slightly narrowed with interest. She couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment. Anyway, he was unhurried, unflustered.
Mu Lengrui smiled evilly. He didn't want this old fox to reveal his true colors so quickly. It would be too unchallenging.
He had to torture her well and make her suffer psychological panic. It was very refreshing to expose her at once, but it lacked a lot of interest, was not exciting enough, and was not interesting enough.
She is now his prey, and he has to kill her little by little with a knife that is not sharp enough to repay the torture and pain she has brought to Dai Yuxiao for nearly twenty years. She must bear the retribution and punishment she deserves.
What Mu Lengrui wants to play is a game of cat and mouse. Catch it, put it down, watch it run a few steps, catch it again, put it down, let it escape, catch it again, repeat this, until he has had enough, and then catch it again.
She swallowed it down as she was exhausted and unable to resist.
"Mrs. Dai, look at the cup in your hand. The color is not very auspicious..." Mu Lengrui stretched out her long fingers and tapped the cup in her hand through the air.
Meng Liangxian didn't react. She lowered her head and saw that it was a silver-gray cup. She had never seen a silver-gray cup before. It looked so weird. She couldn't help but think of the silver-gray car just now, and her hands began to tremble again.
.
This time she was not so panicked, she tried her best to calm down her mind, and her trembling hands became calm again.
"Yes, this cup looks a bit weird...the silver-gray cup...is as weird as a cup used by witches..." She turned around and looked at the silver-gray cup and agreed.
"Don't worry, change it to black, Butler Yu..." Mu Lengrui waved, and Butler Yu came over respectfully.
"Young Master, what are your orders?" Butler Yu asked with lowered head and eyebrows.
"Butler Yu, help Mrs. Dai, she doesn't like the color of this cup, she likes black cups..." Mu Lengrui pointed at the silver-gray cup and smiled.
"That's easy, Mrs. Dai, please give me the cup..." Butler Yu asked Meng Liangxian for the cup.
Meng Liangxian handed the cup to the old housekeeper suspiciously. He moved his big hand and groped around the top of the cup through the air. The silver-gray cup actually turned black.
Could it be that this old butler is a highly skilled magician? His trick was so clever that everyone present was stunned.
Butler Yu returned the cup to Meng Liangxian. She turned the cup over and over and saw that there were still water stains on the inner wall. The cup she left just now was indeed the same cup. It couldn't be fake. But how did Butler Yu change? Really?
strangeness.
"Mom, let me see, it's so interesting, so magical...Old housekeeper, can you teach me this trick?" Dai Shuanglin curiously snatched the black cup over and watched in amazement.
After looking at it for a long time, she found that the black color was even weirder than the silver-gray color, and it exuded such an evil aura. She threw the cup back to her mother, muttering: "This black color is even more ugly, even uglier than the silver-gray color..."
…”
Meng Liangxian disagreed. She took it and looked at it from left to right, and tapped it twice with her fingertips: "It's not ugly. How could it be ugly? It looks pretty good to me..."
Mu Lengrui leaned forward slightly and smiled evilly: "Mrs. Dai, it's strange. If the silver-gray car is changed to black, you think it is unlucky. If the silver-gray cup is changed to black, you think it looks good... This is
Why?"
Meng Liangxian, who was originally very curious about the color of the cup, heard his question, and then thought of the ominous car. Her heart trembled, and with a "pop", the black cup accidentally fell to the floor, shattering into pieces.
"No reason...no reason...no reason...it's just unlucky..." Meng Liangxian waved her hands incoherently and started to panic again.
How could she have imagined that Mu Lengrui gave her such a special cup just to raise more topics, lead her into a trap, expose the loopholes in her thinking, and make her unable to explain herself.
Everyone's thoughts were led by Mu Lengrui. As the cup was shattered into pieces, their attention shifted and returned to the topic before returning to the hall. They all stared at Meng Liangxian curiously.
"By the way, Mr. Mu, you just said that my wife knows the origin of that car. Is that true? Liangxian, do you know?" Dai Zhengde leaned over and looked at Mu Lengrui and then around him.
His wife Meng Liangxian.
"I don't know, I don't know, how could I know!" Meng Liangxian resisted, almost roaring.
"Mrs. Dai, you know, how could you be so forgetful about the car accident nearly twenty years ago?" Mu Lengrui pronounced the word "car accident" with a strong accent, and the corners of his lips curled up into a half-smile.
He stared at Meng Liangxian closely, as if he wanted to turn his eyes into sharp weapons to peel off her body and soul, so that everyone could see clearly the true face of this woman.
"I don't know, I don't know, how could I know!" Meng Liangxian's face turned pale, and her calm mind became frantic again.
"Mrs. Dai, don't be so stingy. You should have the courage to share the classic story of that car with everyone. It was so seamless and jaw-droppingly wonderful..." Mu Lengrui clapped his hands with a look of admiration.
"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me!" Meng Liangxian muttered those words over and over again, feeling confused.
"I don't know? Do you want me to help you recall it?" Mu Lengrui leaned back and half of his body sank into the sofa.
"No, no, no... I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it..." Meng Liangxian certainly knew what Master Mu was going to say, which made her extremely frightened and her eyes were scattered.
Her husband is present. If it is something else, she can ask him for protection. But for such a thing, her husband must hate her deeply, so how can he be willing to help her?
She looked at Dai Zhengde beside her, and almost opened her mouth, but then swallowed her words back. Her internal organs were so swollen that she could only let the pain be so wanton, without any way to relieve it.
Dai Zhengde began to have an ominous premonition that his wife, who had been with him day and night for more than 20 years, must be hiding something from him.
Today, he had an inexplicable sense of distance and strangeness towards the person next to him. It was very strange. It was the kind of natural alienation that became farther and farther away, erratic and increasingly vague.
"Then, okay... Since you don't like it, let's not mention it for now..." Mu Lengrui smiled lightly, took a sip of tea, and looked meaningfully at the panicked Meng Liangxian.
Dai Yuxiao became a little nervous again. It was clear that he was about to achieve his goal and was close to victory. Why did Mu Lengrui stop suddenly? Isn't this an obvious joke? How long does he want to take to reveal the true face of this hypocritical aunt?
"Well - I'm so thirsty. Can you give me another glass of ice water?" Meng Liangxian breathed a sigh of relief. This Mu Lengrui finally gave her a chance to breathe. She's so thirsty, so thirsty. The water in her mouth has been evaporated again.
Dry tongue.
"Butler Yu, please have another glass of ice water!" Mu Lengrui waved his hands that were more graceful than a woman's and greeted him casually, his eyes as deep as the sea.
"Okay, wait a minute!" Butler Yu left quickly and followed his instructions to get ice water for Meng Liangxian.
Meng Liangxian waited impatiently. She had never wanted a glass of ice water as much as she did today, as if it could save her from danger. While waiting, she couldn't help but lick her chapped lips.
"Mom, you are not in good health and always have back pain. It is best to drink less ice water. Hot tea is more suitable for you..." Dai Shuanglin reminded her kindly and handed a cup of hot tea to her mother.
Meng Liangxian took the hot tea, and the hot breath instantly penetrated her nostrils. Instead, she felt that the manic airflow penetrated her body from her nasal cavity and rushed here and there, making her very uncomfortable.
And why was this cup of tea so hot? She almost dropped the teacup with a trembling hand. She quickly put the teacup on the coffee table with trembling hands: "No, this tea is too hot. It's too hot. I'd rather drink it iced."
The water is good..."
Dai Shuanglin frowned, thinking that her mother was deliberately trying to undermine her kindness and filial piety as a daughter, so she couldn't help but frown: "Why is it hot? I obviously just tested the water temperature... Everyone drank the same tea, and none of them felt hot...
"
Meng Liangxian ignored her daughter's dissatisfaction and looked forward to Butler Yu's ice water with great enthusiasm.
This housekeeper Yu didn't look that old, so why was it so slow? Why was it so slow? It almost made her wait for a century, almost turning the sea into a wasteland.
Butler Yu came slowly with a glass of ice water in his hand. Meng Liangxian saw him from a distance and stood up to greet him before he came near. He took the ice water and drank it in one gulp.
A cool and comfortable feeling flowed down from her throat and ran through her whole body. The three souls and seven souls returned to their places. Her hands no longer trembled, and she held the water glass steadily. Her eyes no longer scattered, and she found it in a glass of ice water. Got the focus.
Mu Lengrui's face was filled with a smile. He admired the old fox's series of changes with great interest. All the changes were under his control, and he was not nervous at all.
No matter how she changes, she is within the range he has designated, just like a little mouse caught by a kitten. No matter how she runs, she is still within a circle. If she runs to the edge of the range that the cat's claws can reach, she will be caught. The sharp cat claws caught it back.
"Mrs. Dai, since you don't like that car, would you mind if I gave it to someone else?" Mu Lengrui asked with a smile, being courteous.
Before Mrs. Dai could express her position, Dai Shuanglin took over the conversation first: "Young Master Mu, if my mother doesn't mind, why don't you just give it to me, I don't mind either..."
