Mu Qian finally took Ye Xi away from the police station and settled down at the hotel. It was already evening.
The two of them hadn't eaten all day. Mu Qian asked the hotel to deliver food to the room, but she also knew that Ye Xi wouldn't have the intention to eat, so she didn't force her to eat. She just asked the waiter to put all the food on the table.
Then he went outside to call the children.
After making a phone call, she opened the door and walked into the bedroom, and found Ye Xi still lying there motionless, with empty eyes and no expression on his face.
Mu Qian did not disturb her, turned around and sat outside again.
Not long after she sat down, her cell phone suddenly rang again. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Meng Linsheng.
"Qianqian, which hotel are you staying in?" Meng Linsheng said, "The kidnappers confessed some things and I want to talk to you."
Mu Qian listened and quickly reported the name of the hotel.
"I'm nearby," Meng Linsheng said, "I'll see you at the restaurant soon."
Mu Qian responded, quickly stood up, opened the door and called the bodyguard outside, "I have to go out for a while, you guys keep a close eye on her. If... there is anything excessive, stop her."
The two bodyguards had been following Mu Qian for a long time and knew her style of dealing with things. They quickly nodded and entered the room.
Mu Qian went out directly and went to the restaurant to wait for Meng Linsheng.
Within ten minutes, Meng Linsheng arrived at the restaurant. After seeing Mu Qian, he quickly sat down opposite her.
"How is it?" Mu Qian asked.
"The reason why Tangtang lost control of her emotions was because after Ye Jinfan kidnapped her, he was extremely cruel to her." Meng Linsheng said slowly, "He told the kidnapper that if he was not satisfied with the ransom he received, he would kill Tangtang.
That’s okay too.”
After hearing this, Mu Qian paused for a moment before adding, "Did you say this in front of Lu Tang?"
Meng Linsheng nodded and continued: "Later, Tangtang angered the kidnappers, tied her hands and feet and was beaten by two men. Ye Jinfan didn't even look at it, and allowed her to be tortured by the two kidnappers. After she went out, there was no more
return--"
"In other words, at that time, no matter what happened to Lu Tang by the two kidnappers, he didn't care at all?" Mu Qian asked again.
Meng Linsheng slowly shook his head and said: "Although he did not enter the house again, he warned one of the kidnappers outside and told him that it was best not to touch her."
After hearing this, Mu Qian raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes slightly darkened.
Obviously, Meng Linsheng also thought of something.
"You want money in front of Lu Tang, right?" Mu Qian said, "30 million in cash——"
Meng Linsheng nodded, "So, this is what we all found strange at the time."
Mu Qian paused, but suddenly thought of another thing, and remained silent for a while.
"If he really wants to provoke Tangtang on purpose and want Tangtang to give up on him -" Meng Linsheng gritted her teeth and paused for a moment before adding, "Then this matter is really ridiculous."
Mu Qian was quiet for a moment, then slowly said: "Yes, how could Lu Tang possibly imagine that Ye Jinfan's ruthlessness was actually the last trace of tenderness he showed towards her?"
After hearing this, Meng Linsheng suddenly sneered, "It's okay not to be so gentle - he tortured Tangtang thoroughly, took full advantage of the Lu family, and in the end, Tangtang was charged with murder... What the hell is this?
Whose retribution is it?”
Mu Qian was silent for a moment, then looked at him again, "Are you considering whether to tell Lu Tang the truth?"
Meng Linsheng slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "What do you think?"
"The so-called truth is just our wishful speculation." Mu Qian said, "The person involved is already dead. Who can guarantee that this is really the truth?"
"Yes." Meng Linsheng nodded slowly, "Telling Tangtang such an unconfirmed truth will probably irritate her nerves even more... I really shouldn't say anything more to her."
Mu Qian lowered her head for a moment and just reached out to stir the cup of coffee in front of her.
Meng Linsheng stared at her movements for a while, then asked again: "How is Ye Xi?"
"What else can I do?" Mu Qian whispered, "I don't know what will happen to her if she loses her whole world."
"Are you worried about her?" Meng Linsheng said.
Mu Qian still lowered her head to stir the coffee in front of her. After a long time, she suddenly chuckled and said, "I'm not worried."
Meng Linsheng just stared at her quietly.
"What path she should take and what choice she should make are all her own decisions." Mu Qian said, "I am not her, and I don't know what kind of pain and despair she is experiencing, so no matter what she makes,
She has made a choice, I can only bless her."
After saying this, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at him and smiled again, "Huo Jinxi told me."
Meng Linsheng couldn't help but pause, and then said: "What about your own decision?"
"I think my husband is wiser and more rational than me." Mu Qian said, "So, I will listen to him."
Meng Linsheng listened, and after being quiet for a while, he nodded slowly.
…
When Mu Qian returned to the hotel room, the two bodyguards were still dutifully guarding the bedroom door.
Mu Qian motioned to the two of them with her eyes, and one of them said: "There is no movement."
Mu Qian then let the two of them go out, and she gently opened the bedroom door and took a look.
Ye Xi was still lying on the bed in the same position as before, motionless.
Mu Qian looked at it for a moment, quickly closed the door, turned back to the sofa outside, and sat down quietly.
This sitting lasted all night.
The next morning, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the bedroom, and immediately got up and went forward. When she opened the door, she saw that Ye Xi had stood up and walked to the table where the food was placed.
The food that had been placed overnight had already cooled down, but she was actually holding a spoon and eating a portion of fried rice that was already dry and hard.
Mu Qian stood at the door, looked at her quietly for a moment, and then said, "Don't eat anything cold and hard. It will make your stomach hurt."
After Ye Xi heard this, she suddenly raised her head and glanced at her, and then she put down the spoon in her hand obediently.
"What do you want to eat?" Mu Qian asked again, "I'll ask them to bring it."
"Whatever." Ye Xi's voice was extremely hoarse, but she didn't seem to notice anything wrong with her, and continued, "As long as it fills her stomach."
Mu Qian looked at her for a while and answered with only one word: "Okay."
Two English breakfasts were quickly delivered to the room, and the two sat down facing each other and began to eat what was in front of them.
Ye Xi was very quiet and Mu Qian was very calm. Both of them were eating the food in front of them seriously.
Only a third of the way through the meal, Ye Xi's movements suddenly slowed down. Then, she raised her head and looked at Mu Qian, without moving for a long time.
"Let's talk if you have anything to say." Mu Qian said, "It's just the two of us anyway, why do you have any hesitation?"
Ye Xi's eyes suddenly froze for a moment, and then she said: "Qianqian, have you forgive me?"
Hearing this question, Mu Qian's hand movements paused slightly, and then she said, "You know, there are some things that I will never be able to forgive."
Ye Xi's expression didn't change much after hearing this, he still just looked at her.
"I can't forgive you, not because of what you did, but because the person who did it... is you." Mu Qian finally raised his eyes to look at her, "The whole world can betray me, but you don't
Okay. Because it’s you, I can’t forgive you.”
Ye Xi looked at her, her vision suddenly blurred, and tears fell unexpectedly.
But soon, she picked up the dinner paper and pressed it to her eyes, desperately wiping away the tears in her eyes.
After calming down, she looked at Mu Qian again and said, "Okay, if you don't forgive me, that's fine. You shouldn't forgive me. I will only make you unhappy..."
Mu Qian put down the tableware in her hands, leaned back in the chair, looked at her quietly, and said, "Yes, I don't forgive you, so you don't have to worry about me being sad for you. So, what are you going to do next?
Woolen cloth?"
Ye Xi was stunned by her question, and looked at her for a long time before finally saying: "Qianqian, I can't lose him... Without him in this world, then there is no meaning for me to exist.
Yes, I——"
"Then you go." Mu Qian's expression remained calm, with only a faint hint of pink around her eyes. "If you want to go with him, then just go. Why do you care if I will be sad?"
"
Ye Xi was a little startled when she exposed her inner thoughts so bluntly, but she didn't react much.
Mu Qian looked at her and suddenly sneered and said: "It's like this again, it will always be like this. You will never learn to live for yourself, and will always only follow other people's ideas - Ye Jinfan wants revenge
The Huo family asked you to exchange my child, so you did it as he said; later you told me the truth, because I don't forgive you, so you don't forgive yourself either, and you put yourself between Ye Jinfan and me and suffered repeated torture.
; Now, you want to die for Ye Jinfan, and then you have to consider my feelings... Ye Xi, is there something wrong with you? What do other people do to you? What do I do to you? What do you do?
If you want to die, then die. As long as you really want to die, who can stop you? Who is sad and who is not sad, what does it matter? Just do what you want to do! You are for you
Can you live for yourself for once?"
Ye Xi was originally sluggish, but halfway through Mu Qian's words, her tears began to fall uncontrollably again, and she couldn't stop them.
She could only lock herself into the chair, hug her knees tightly, put her knees against her eyes, and try not to let tears fall.
"Don't care whether I will be sad or not, and don't care what kind of plans Ye Jinfan has made for you -" Mu Qian continued, "Since you want to die, just do it according to your own wishes, just do it -
"
Ye Xi was crying until she was shaking slightly, but when she heard Mu Qian's words, she couldn't help but raise her head.
"Planning?" She looked at Mu Qian with tearful eyes, her voice was extremely rough, "What plan?"
