Mu Qian has always been calm and collected when facing Cheng Ye. Even though she knew that it was him who put Ye Xi in danger and got into trouble, she was extremely angry and did not break her face.
She even showed appreciation for his attitude towards life.
Cheng Ye knew that she was a smart and cunning woman, and even though he never fully believed her words, he still couldn't help but fall into the trap she deliberately laid.
Even if this trap is not gentle.
However, it was not until this moment that Cheng Ye finally saw Mu Qian in his true state.
This woman should already hate him to the core, right?
Unexpectedly, Cheng Ye was not furious. He just looked at her and spoke again after a while: "Then who are you? The goddess of revenge who comes to avenge us murderers?"
Mu Qian suppressed a smile, stared at him, and said slowly: "Everyone has to pay for what they have done, right?"
Cheng Ye chuckled lightly, nodded, and then said: "If it weren't for your friend, would we be like this?"
When Mu Qian heard this, the corners of her mouth sank slightly, but her eyebrows raised slightly.
She did not avoid Cheng Ye's question, "Don't you know what you people have done?"
Cheng Ye stared at her for a moment and then nodded slowly.
He understood the meaning of Mu Qian's words.
It turns out that Ye Xi's incident was a trigger. She wanted to investigate them from the beginning to the end!
"So, from the moment we met, you were deliberately acting?"
Mu Qian laughed and said, "Don't forget that you took the initiative to approach me in the first place. I can only say that you showed up just right."
Cheng Ye suddenly laughed too.
Yes, he almost forgot that he was attracted to her from the beginning and took the initiative to get close to her. Otherwise, she would not be able to find out the people and things around him so easily, and things would not develop to this point.
"Then now your goal has been achieved." Cheng Ye said, "We no longer need to meet each other from now on, right?"
After Cheng Ye finished speaking, he didn't look at her again. He turned around and picked up his duffel bag, then turned around and prepared to go out.
Mu Qian stood in front of him again, "Fang Tong is dead, don't you know?"
"So what?" Cheng Ye glanced at her.
Mu Qian laughed when he heard this, "Don't tell me that you don't know who did this and just left the hospital without any scruples. Aren't you afraid that you will be the next person to die?"
"Wouldn't it be just what you wanted if I died?" Cheng Ye said, "In this way, it can be considered as revenge for your friend."
Mu Qian shook her head, "You know, my target is not you."
"Do I still believe what you say?"
After Cheng Ye finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Mu Qian away and let him out of the door.
"Don't expect to get any news from me." Cheng Ye said to Mu Qian, "I will not betray anyone, even if it means death, I am willing to do so."
After saying this, Cheng Ye left the ward without looking back.
Mu Qian slowly walked out of the ward and looked at his retreating figure with an unwavering gaze.
In the evening, Mu Qian organized a dinner party at home, and the invitees were Rong Heng and Yao Qi.
Yao Qi was a family man, and Rong Heng happened to have Fang Tong's case on hand to investigate, so when the appointed time came, neither of them arrived.
When Huo Jinxi returned home, Mu Qian and Huo Qiran were happily learning how to make dumplings from their aunt.
And this so-called learning is only about easy learning - not learning to knead dough, not learning to chop stuffing, not learning to mix stuffing, not learning to roll out dough, but only learning the action of "bundling".
Mr. Huo couldn't stand it when he was sitting next to him, so he just poked Mu Qian with a walking stick, "You can't study seriously. If there is someone in the family who can cook, the happiness index will increase many times."
"I'm so busy!" Mu Qian dismissed it, and when she looked up and saw Huo Jinxi coming in, she immediately said, "Besides, I'm not the only one in this family, why don't you let your grandson come to study?
What era are you in? Grandpa, don’t you still believe in the idea that the male is the outsider and the woman is the inside?”
Mr. Huo couldn't defeat her, so he was so angry that she blew his beard and glared.
Mu Qian excitedly waved to Huo Jinxi, "Grandpa said that a family must have someone who can cook, so I want you to learn how to cook!"
Huo Jinxi walked up and took a look at the messy desktop made by Mu Qian and Huo Qiran. He didn't say anything to Mu Qian, but just said: "Are you so relaxed today?"
"If you have to entertain guests, as the host, I still have to do it myself, otherwise Auntie will have to work very hard." Mu Qian said confidently.
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi was too lazy to pay attention to her rhetoric. After looking at her, he turned around and went upstairs.
He naturally knew who she was going to entertain today, but he didn't have any emotions.
Compared with the past few days, when she went out early and came back late every day, and he was too busy to touch the ground, it was enough for the two of them to be at home at the same time today.
When Huo Jinxi changed into her home clothes and went downstairs, Mu Qian had already organized Mr. Huo and Huo Qiran to eat first, while she continued to wait for the late guests.
Seeing Huo Jinxi coming downstairs, she raised her face and asked, "Would you like to eat first, or wait with me?"
Huo Jinxi glanced at her and said, "I'll wait for Rong Heng to come."
After hearing this, Mu Qian couldn't help but snorted slightly, "If I have time to inform you that he is coming for dinner, why not hurry up and finish his work early? It's really unreliable! It's a shame that I'm still here making dumplings for them enthusiastically!"
"
After saying that, she stood up and walked into the kitchen to wash her hands.
As soon as he saw her walking into the kitchen, Mr. Huo immediately put down the bowl and looked at Huo Qiran, "Qiran, let's go upstairs to eat."
Huo Qiran held the bowl and looked at him blankly.
Mr. Huo pursed his lips in the direction of Huo Jinxi, "Give your dad and the others some space!"
Huo Qiran pouted slightly, his face full of displeasure.
Mu Qian finally came back a day early, and he wanted to stay with her for a while longer!
However, despite this, he was a child who couldn't speak and was able to twist it with Mr. Huo. After a while, he was reluctantly dragged upstairs by Mr. Huo with the bowl in his arms.
Huo Jinxi sat on the sofa and watched the news calmly, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Mu Qian's hands were sticky and difficult to wash after being stained with flour. It took Mu Qian several minutes to wash them clean. When she dried her hands and came out of the kitchen, the old man and the young one at the dining table had disappeared.
"Hey, did they finish eating so quickly?" Mu Qian asked as she walked towards Huo Jinxi.
Huo Jinxi slid his fingers on the tablet, and when he heard the words, he just responded, "Yeah."
When Mu Qian walked over, the page on his tablet happened to stop on the page where Fang Tong's death was reported.
When Mu Qian saw it, she immediately came over and said, "Show me."
Huo Jinxi didn't make any move. When the tablet in his hand was snatched away, his arms were filled with warmth and fragrance.
