"I have a conclusion in my heart." Mu Qian raised her chin slightly, her eyes calm and firm, "But I don't know whether this conclusion is right or wrong."
Lin Shu paused, lowered her eyes slightly, and avoided Mu Qian's gaze.
Mu Qian still stood motionless, waiting for her response.
After a long time, she finally heard Lin Shu's voice——
"I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances over the years." Lin Shudao, "But after so many years, you and Jin Xi have finally reconciled. Jin Xi will make up for all the grievances you have suffered. Why should you?
Are you still holding on to the past?"
After hearing her words, Mu Qian was quiet for a moment, and finally burst out laughing uncontrollably.
For so many years, when talking about Ye Jingwei, she has always been burdened with the identity of a "murderer".
Although Huo Jinxi had said before that he believed in her, he never revealed anything more.
But now, someone outside the incident finally told her that she knew she had been wronged.
At this moment, Mu Qian seemed to have finally been relieved of the guilt he had carried for eight years.
But there was no excitement or joy in her heart, and she didn't even know why she was laughing.
Soon, Mu Qian suppressed her smile and without saying anything else, she passed by Lin Shu and left.
Lin Shu did not try to persuade her to stay. After a moment of silence, she took a long breath and began to pack the things Cheng Manshu needed for hospitalization.
When she returned to the hospital with these things, Huo Jinxi was sitting beside Cheng Manshu's bed, looking down at the documents.
Lin Shu had taken care of Huo Jinxi for a long time and had always understood his habits. Therefore, she could clearly know through the speed with which Huo Jinxi turned over the documents that Huo Jinxi's thoughts were not on those documents.
Lin Shu stepped forward, put the things she brought aside, looked down at Cheng Manshu again, and then whispered: "Did you fall asleep again?"
"Yeah." Huo Jinxi responded without raising his head.
Lin Shu sighed slightly, dipped a cotton swab in water, and applied it little by little to Cheng Manshu's lips.
"Your dad hasn't come yet?"
"Yeah." Huo Jinxi still just responded.
"Mu Qian just went to the mansion." Lin Shu said casually while repeating the movements of her hands.
Hearing these words, Huo Jinxi finally raised his head and his eyes fell heavily on her.
Lin Shu threw away the cotton swab in her hand, and after a moment of silence, she turned to look at him, "She asked Sister Xiu if your mother had also been to the balcony on the day Ye Jingwei fell from the building. How cunning this girl is, who is Sister Xiu?
If her opponent is deceived by her, everything will be deceived."
Huo Jinxi listened quietly and slowly closed his eyes.
Sure enough, she guessed it.
From the moment she saw Ruan Yin, she had already guessed it.
On the way back, she obviously wanted to ask him, but in the end, she did not ask, but chose to go elsewhere for confirmation.
"She has indeed been wronged for so many years." Lin Shu added, "I don't know if she will do anything... Your mother is in this current situation. What if she refuses to give up?"
Huo Jinxi still didn't speak.
"You two have such a good relationship now..." Lin Shu said, "Go and talk to her, she will definitely give in for your sake..."
After a long time, Huo Jinxi finally spoke——
"She didn't come to ask me, which is already a concession."
Given her temperament, she should have put this question directly in front of him and asked him for an answer.
But she didn't do that.
Because she knew how difficult this issue would be for him.
Lies, he disdained;
He can't tell the truth.
Huo Jinxi didn't know why, but she avoided such a problem for him.
And what more could he ask of her?
…
Late at night, when Huo Jinxi returned to the Huo family's old house, the doors to Mu Qian and Huo Qiran's rooms on the second floor were still open and the lights were on.
Huo Jinxi walked to the door of Mu Qian's room. There was no one inside. There was only a suitcase standing there quietly next to the bed.
Huo Jinxi stared at the suitcase quietly for a moment, then turned and walked towards Huo Qiran's room where there was movement.
There was also a suitcase in the room, which was spread out on the ground, and Huo Qiran was putting clothes in it from his wardrobe.
Mu Qian sat next to the suitcase and looked at Huo Qiran helplessly, "Your dad hasn't agreed yet. If you put so many clothes in so early and he doesn't agree later, isn't your effort was in vain?"
Huo Qiran seemed not to hear it, and put his clothes in the suitcase with his head down.
After putting them away, he stood up to get something else. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw Huo Jinxi standing at the door.
His eyes lit up instantly, he stepped forward and pulled Huo Jinxi into the room, shaking Huo Jinxi's hand and praying for something.
Huo Jinxi turned to look at Mu Qian sitting on the ground.
Mu Qian looked calm, smiled at him, and said: "I received a call from a lawyer in Philadelphia today, saying that my mother's inheritance has been settled and asked me to go over and complete the remaining procedures. Anyway, what's next
You will also be very busy during this time, so I think it’s better to take advantage of this time and let me go over and take care of those things first.”
After saying that, Mu Qian glanced at Huo Qiran again and said, "Who knew that after this kid knew about it, he would insist on going with me, and there was nothing I could do to stop him."
After hearing this, Huo Qiran immediately took Huo Jinxi's hand and shook it.
Huo Jinxi reached out and touched his head, and simply said, "You can continue to clean up."
When Huo Qiran heard this, he almost jumped with joy, turned around and packed up other things with great interest.
Huo Jinxi then looked at Mu Qian again and stretched out his hand towards her.
After a while, Mu Qian reached out her hand to touch him, and stood up using the strength of his hand.
Huo Jinxi held her hand, took her back to her bedroom, and then closed the door behind her.
Mu Qian walked to the bed and moved the suitcase she had packed to a position against the wall.
"Don't want to see me?" Huo Jinxi said slowly.
Mu Qian stood facing the wall. After a slight pause, he shook his head.
Huo Jinxi took a step forward, stood behind her, and said, "Blame me?"
Mu Qian shook her head again.
"Then what are you thinking?"
Mu Qian finally looked back at him and whispered: "I told you, you will be very busy next time. Your mother is so weak now and emotionally unstable. You have to stay with her and take care of her. I just happen to go to Philadelphia.
Complete the inheritance procedures for your mother. I hope that after she comes back, your mother will get better and be able to... take responsibility for the mistakes she made in the past."
Huo Jinxi understood what she meant.
She didn't intend to let this matter go away, but Cheng Manshu couldn't bear such a result.
Mu Qian gave in again.
She was willing to wait for Cheng Manshu to get better, but she didn't want to continue to face her like this.
