Upon hearing this answer, Mu Qian immediately sat up from Huo Jinxi's arms.
Although she already had doubts in her mind when she asked that question, when Huo Jinxi spoke the answer so truthfully, her heart beat wildly uncontrollably and she found it difficult to control herself.
"Why?" Mu Qian asked.
Huo Jinxi also sat up, leaned on the bedside, picked up his watch and looked at the time, and then said, "I just feel that this person is not very reliable."
"Since when?" Mu Qian asked again.
"In the beginning."
"What about when the leaves die?"
Huo Jinxi didn't hide anything: "That's when I started making people stare at him."
The thoughts in Mu Qian's mind suddenly became confusing again.
"Do you think Ye Zi's accident has anything to do with him?"
"He was really sad when something happened to Ye Xi." Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian listened and looked at him quietly, "But you still think he is suspicious."
"It's just a feeling." Huo Jinxi said.
"You, Huo Jinxi, have read countless people. Your feeling...should be accurate, right?" Mu Qian said slowly.
Huo Jinxi took a deep look at her, and then continued: "When Ye Xi had an accident, he was really sad. But not long after that, he quickly got rid of this emotion. According to the information I obtained
From the looks of it, he lived a very normal life. Given Ye Xi's emotional state when the accident happened, unless he was acting and even forgot about himself, it would have been impossible for him to recover so quickly."
Mu Qian listened, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed.
She understood the state described by Huo Jinxi very well.
When you are unable to accept and face a certain fact, you can only force yourself to forget it, pretend that nothing happened, and face life as a normal person.
When the pain is extreme, you can even forget some of the root causes——
Just like she had completely forgotten Huo Jinxi and Xiaoxiao.
If Ye Jinfan chose to forget for the same reason, then it would be possible for him to quickly escape from that painful emotion.
But--
"He's not." Mu Qian said.
Huo Jinxi stared at her.
"If he really forgets Ye Zi in pain and chooses to fully integrate into the Lu family to avenge Ye Zi..." Mu Qian said slowly, "Then he will not come to me again and again to express his feelings to me.
He has never forgotten Ye Zi at all, and he can even mention Ye Zi to me again and again, so there is no such thing as acting that makes him forget himself."
As a result, Ye Jinfan's various behaviors really became very suspicious.
Mu Qian continued: "When Ye Zi died, I thought he was really sad... But they had lived together for more than twenty years, and Ye Zi had given all his body and soul to him. A person with a little bit of blood would also be sad.
Right?"
Huo Jinxi heard this and did not express his position for a while.
"His sadness only lasted for a short time, which means that he was not really sad at all." Mu Qian smiled sarcastically, "But he pretended to be affectionate and kept saying
I got engaged to Lu Tang to avenge Ye Zi, but in the end, I ended up dealing with... the Huo family?"
If Ye Jinfan wanted to gain the Lu family's trust, then he had many choices and there was no need to be an enemy of the Huo family.
Unless his target was Huo from the beginning.
If he wants to deal with the Huo family, the strength of the Ye family is simply a small thing that can shake a big tree, so he must find someone who is as strong as the Huo family to rely on.
But in this way, Ye Xi became his biggest stumbling block.
Mu Qian originally hated him for harming Ye Xi, but later she believed that he had nothing to do with Ye Xi's accident, simply because she believed that Ye Jinfan would not insist on putting Ye Xi to death for Lu Tang - with his methods, he originally
You can easily manipulate these two women, why should you be so cruel and cruel to let Ye Xi die?
But what if he wants not just Lu Tang, but the Lu family behind Lu Tang, and what if he wants to use the Lu family to deal with the Huo family?
Then there is a reason for all this.
"He was the one who harmed Ye Zi." Mu Qian's whole body went cold as she spoke word by word.
Huo Jinxi heard her conclusion and did not express any opinion.
Obviously, he has already thought of this.
Mu Qian suddenly stood up and prepared to get out of bed.
Huo Jinxi suddenly reached out and held her wrist.
"I will handle this matter," Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian turned around and looked at him. After a slight pause, she said, "Okay, but don't you want me to go back to Tongcheng?"
Huo Jinxi looked at her and said slowly, "I want you to return to Tongcheng happily."
"You know I will be happy." Mu Qian replied.
The reason why Huo Jinxi let her stay in Huai City was firstly to let her heal her heartache, secondly to let her have a good rest, and thirdly to keep her away from the troubles of Tongcheng.
Everything is done just to make her happy.
After looking at her quietly for a moment, Huo Jinxi finally whispered: "Okay."
…
Huo Jinxi was originally worried that Mu Qian would get carried away because of Ye Xi's incident, but in fact Mu Qian was calmer than he imagined.
With such a hasty decision to return to Tongcheng, he could have gone directly, but Mu Qian still had other things on his mind, so he specially recruited Qi Yuan from him.
Qi Yuan's first task was to invite Huo Qiran's painting teacher to teach in Tongcheng.
Qi Yuan was responsible for contacting this teacher from the beginning, so Qi Yuan knew something about it. When he heard about this task, he couldn't help but frowned, "This teacher Sun is a family man. Tongcheng is so far away, I'm afraid he won't know how to do it."
Willing to go..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qian turned around and shouted: "Huo Jinxi!"
Qi Yuan thought he would be complained about his poor performance, and was about to express his loyalty when Mu Qian suddenly opened his hand to Huo Jinxi who came out of the bathroom and said, "Bring your wallet."
Huo Jinxi glanced at the posture between her and Qi Yuan, and handed over his wallet.
Mu Qian changed hands and stuffed the wallet into Qi Yuan's arms, "Do you know what to do?"
How could Qi Yuan dare to touch Huo Jinxi's wallet? He hurriedly put it down and said repeatedly: "Madam, don't worry, I will arrange it. Also, if you want to prepare some gifts for the neighbors, I can arrange them together."
"You are responsible for hiring a teacher." Mu Qian said, "I will do these things."
"Yes, yes, yes." Qi Yuan agreed and quickly turned around and left.
Mu Qian turned around and continued to pack Huo Qiran's things. Suddenly, she heard Huo Qiran's friend's parents outside calling her: "Mrs. Huo? Are you at home?"
Huo Jinxi happened to come out of the bathroom after washing up and was close to the door, so he stepped forward and opened the door.
Outside the door was the mother of a little girl in the courtyard next door, holding a pancake in her hand. It was originally given to Mu Qian and Huo Qiran at her daughter's request. When she saw Huo Jinxi opening the door, she couldn't help but be stunned.
