After hanging up Ji Yin's phone, Mu Qingchi shed tears silently in the room for a while before dragging heavy steps to the bathroom.
In the mirror, her eyes were swollen like peaches, her hair was messy, and her body was dirty.
Mu Qingchi is a very clean person, and it is really uncomfortable to be so dirty.
She urgently needed a bath, but she had just applied medicine to her burns, and she couldn't take a bath either.
Mu Qingchi washed her face, took off her dirty clothes, wiped her body with a wet towel, and changed into a set of clean clothes. Her eyes were swollen and she felt extremely uncomfortable. She opened the door and went downstairs to find ice cubes to apply.
Mother He stood at the door of the kitchen and looked around. She saw Mu Qingchi coming downstairs and came out with a smile to say hello, "I made chicken soup. It's delicious. I was about to call you."
"Thank you!" Mu Qingchi smiled at He Ma. The person who treated her too much was Ji Zhanbai, and He Ma did not offend her. There was no need for her to be ungrateful.
She silently opened the refrigerator and found an ice cube to apply to her eyes. Mother He saw her opening the refrigerator to get ice cubes and immediately knew Mu Qingchi's intention.
He came up diligently and said, "Young madam, you eat first. I will help you after you eat. Your eyes are so swollen. It's best to alternate between hot and cold. It will heal quickly."
Mu Qingchi did not refuse, said thank you and sat down at the dining table.
Her stomach was actually empty, but she had no appetite at all. He's mother quickly prepared the meal and specially poured a bowl of chicken soup for Mu Qingchi.
The dishes on the table were all light dishes, and Mu Qingchi silently took his chopsticks and started eating.
Her reaction was completely different from usual. He Ma always felt that Mu Qingchi seemed to be a different person now.
She carefully looked at Mu Qingchi's face and said, "This is a light dish that the young master asked me to cook. I'm afraid you will get scars."
Mu Qingchi didn't answer and just ate his meal in silence.
She didn't answer, and Ma He continued, "You suffered a lot last night. I heard it all from Amin. The young master just wanted to scare you. He didn't know that something like that would happen to you... By the way, what happened to you
Don’t worry about burns, the young master will find a way to prevent you from leaving scars.”
Mu Qingchi ate in silence, not answering a word of what Mama He said. Seeing this, Mama He couldn't say any more.
Seeing that Mu Qingchi was eating well, she found a towel and packed some ice cubes to apply to Mu Qingchi's eyes.
Mu Qingchi was lying on the sofa, and Mother He carefully placed ice cubes wrapped in a towel on her eyelids.
Neither of them spoke, only the hands of the clock in the living room were ticking.
Later, He's mother's phone rang, and Mu Qingchi heard her answer the call respectfully, "Hello, old man!"
Mr. Ji's voice on the other end of the phone was majestic, "How is Jingyao doing now?"
"Young lady is very good."
"You take good care of her and satisfy her any requests so that she doesn't have to bear any burden. I will talk to Zhan Bai over there."
Does Mr. Ji mean to speak for Jiang Jingyao? Mother He is a little stunned, what does Mr. Ji mean?
Doesn't he hate Jiang Jingyao very much? Why did he suddenly call to care about Jiang Jingyao, and even scolded Ji Zhanbai for Jiang Jingyao?
She couldn't guess what Mr. Ji meant, so she said respectfully, "I will take good care of the young lady. Don't worry, Mr. Ji."
"Well, I will come over in the evening. You inform Zhan Bai and ask him to come back early."
"Okay, I'll call the young master right now."
Mu Qingchi lay on the sofa and listened clearly to the phone call between He Ma and Mr. Ji. The expression on her face did not change, but she felt a little funny in her heart.
Mr. Ji was just showing off to her. If he really wanted to make the decision for her, shouldn't he have shown up when he knew something was wrong with her?
It's been such a long time since this happened, and he made such a painless phone call to express his position. Don't you think it's ridiculous?
After hanging up the phone, He Ma repeated Mr. Ji's words to Mu Qingchi, "The old man is coming over tonight and will definitely reprimand the young master. Young Madam, you must definitely persuade the old man then."
All of these people were drama queens, and they all made fools of her and sang opera to her. Mu Qingchi knew this very well, so he had no choice but to ignore He Ma, so he had no choice but to agree.
After applying the dressing on his eyes, Mu Qingchi went back upstairs and watched her leave. He's mother immediately called Ji Zhanbai.
"Master, the young lady has come down for lunch. She looks much better than before. Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Hearing that Mu Qingchi came downstairs for dinner, Ji Zhanbai felt relieved, exhaled and hung up the phone.
Opposite him, Gu Zichen looked at him with a half-smile, "What, are you attracted to Jiang Jingyao?"
"What do you mean?" Ji Zhanbai denied.
"You don't care, why do you come to me to ask for some ointment to treat burns?" Gu Zichen asked in return.
"Isn't this because of me? We can't let her have scars, right?" Ji Zhanbai said sarcastically.
"Look at what you said. Didn't you say you wouldn't touch her? What does it matter to you whether she leaves scars or not?" Gu Zichen rolled his eyes to show that he didn't believe Ji Zhanbai's words at all.
"Would you rather have an ugly guy with scars next to you? Don't you agree?" Ji Zhanbai retorted.
"But I remember you said before that you wanted to deal with her. She has been married to you for a while, right? You haven't done much to deal with her?" Gu Zichen reminded.
"How do you know I didn't deal with her?"
"She is still alive and working as a secretary in your office. I know you didn't deal with her, and you are becoming less and less like you now. Even if you came to me for plaster so that Jiang Jingyao wouldn't leave any scars,
But why do you pay attention to whether she eats or not?" Gu Zichen asked every question on the point.
Ji Zhanbai was a little angry, "How can I take revenge if she starves to death?"
Gu Zichen and Ji Zhanbai have been friends for many years, and he can be said to know Ji Zhanbai quite well. Seeing that he was still defending, he smiled and shook his head.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are so stubborn, right? Let me ask you, have you ever touched her? Tell the truth."
Ji Zhanbai was silent for a moment, "I touched her, but that was because I wanted to punish her..."
"Okay, okay, there's no need to explain. I know who you are, but you don't mind touching her because of what happened in the past. It's obvious that Jiang Jingyao treats you completely differently now. I know you can't escape Jiang Jingyao's temptation.
!”
"It's not what you think." Ji Zhanbai wanted to explain.
"Don't explain. Explanation is just trying to hide something." Gu Zichen interrupted him with a smile.
Ji Zhanbai was extremely embarrassed and wanted to speak, but felt that whatever he said would be pushed back by Gu Zichen.
At this moment, his phone rang again. Ji Zhanbai answered the call and received a call from the bodyguard taking care of Mu Qingya, "Master, Miss Mu is making a fuss and wants to leave."
