Chapter 630: She’s Good at Acting
Chapter 630 She’s Good at Acting
The next morning, Ye Jingcheng woke up from his bed. But because of his high fever, his mind was still muddled.
“Tangxue… No… I want to find Tangxue!”
“Stop looking for her already. You’re being tricked. Don’t you know that? Tangxue is not on the hill at all!” Mama Ye said sadly, sitting beside his bed. “Your father has told you that you are not an opponent to Sheng Xiao, but you wouldn’t listen. If it weren’t for the police who were searching the hill, you’d be dead already. Did you ever consider your father and my feelings?”
“Mother…” Ye Jingcheng looked at his mother with apologetic eyes. “I’m sorry to you and Father. But, I can’t forget about her.”
Mama Ye sighed and gave in. “I know where Tangxue is.”
Ye Jingcheng’s eyes widened in shock and surprise. “You know?”
“We thought that you will gradually forget about Tangxue if we keep hiding news about her from you. We didn’t expect you to be so obsessed that you almost lost your life.”
Mama Ye took out her phone and made a call. When he heard the voice answering the call, Ye Jingcheng felt as if he was a boat that had finally docked.
“Tangxue? It’s me, Aunt Ye. Do you have time now? Come and take a look at Jingcheng. He’s unwell.”
“I’ll come immediately,” Mu Tangxue said.
She was hidden by Mama Ye. She had left the slums and was now living a life of a normal person. She had transferred to another medical a.s.sistant school. And at the school, she had fallen for a doctor and was pursuing him.
When Ye Jingcheng heard that it really was Mu Tangxue, he got so excited that he wanted to get dressed immediately. He did not want to look unkempt.
He grabbed his phone on the bedside table and called Sheng Xiao. “I admit that you are ruthless. But I’m sorry to tell you this, Chief Sheng. I have found Mu Tangxue. As for the present you gave me last night, I will return it to you ten times as much. Once Tangxue comes back, I’m afraid that Mu Qiqi’s life is not going to be easy.”
After Sheng Xiao listened to his sleep-talking like utterance, he curled his lips. And how exactly are you going to do that?”
“You think you’ve a perfect plan? Then why don’t you guard Mu Tangxue properly? My happiness is about to start. I will let Tangxue live a life a hundred times better than Mu Qiqi. As for your little forensic doctor, she’ll have to stand aside.”
A boring threat like this was not enough to make Sheng Xiao feel a sense of danger.
Maybe, Ye Jingcheng’s brain was broken from the fever after spending the night on the hill.
When Mu Qiqi saw Sheng Xiao talking on the phone beside the window, she got up and asked, “Who called you? It’s still so early.”
“Ye Jingcheng said that he has found Mu Tangxue.”
“Has he really found her?”
“She is definitely not on the hill. I’ll let Xu Che look into it immediately.” Sheng Xiao pinched Mu Qiqi’s nose. “He even threatened me. Apparently, he will make her into a person who a hundred times better than you when she comes back.”
“Really? Mu Tangxue can join the entertainment industry, but I’m not interested in it. She’s good at acting, but her brain… is not good enough,” said Mu Qiqi confidently.
Was Mu Tangxue a threat to her now?
She wasn’t, since a long time ago.
Sheng Xiao was rather satisfied with Mu Qiqi’s confidence. He helped her to get up and said, “Hurry up and get ready to visit the Shen family.”
“What about the Sheng family?” Mu Qiqi twitched her eyebrows.
“We’ll go when the old man calls us.”
Mu Qiqi knew that her man just wouldn’t admit that he cared.
“Yesterday evening, I asked Mommy to prepare some presents. We’ll go to the hospital in the evening, and then we’ll visit Secretary He and his wife.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything and just let Mu Qiqi do as she pleased. Now, she was slowly becoming more and more conscious of her ident.i.ty as the wife of the CEO and also more considerate over the relations.h.i.+ps between the families.
…
Half an hour later, Mu Tangxue took a cab to Ye Mansion, a place which she had not gone to for a long time. She was wearing a very casual outfit and had lost the elegance of a lady. Now, she had become a completely ordinary person. Not only that, the differences between her and Mu Qiqi’s face had become even more apparent.
After Ye Jingcheng saw her, he couldn’t believe it.
Mu Tangxue was a very cute girl who was just like a porcelain doll. She used to be the little princess in the Mu family.
But now…
“Tangxue…”
“Jingcheng.” Mu Tangxue sat awkwardly beside Ye Jingcheng’s bed and greeted him. “I heard from Aunt that you are unwell. You should take care of your body.”
“Tangxue…” Ye Jingcheng was too excited that he pulled Mu Tangxue into his arms. However, Mu Tangxue pushed him away.
“Jingcheng, you’re hurting me.”
Ye Jingcheng let go of her automatically and put on a long-lost smile.
“Tangxue, you’ve finally returned to my side. I will let you live here with me. We’ll be just like how we used to be in the past.”
Mu Tangxue’s face changed and she turned to Mama Ye. Seeing Mama Ye’s gaze, she said, “Jingcheng, I am living a good life now. I don’t plan to change my lifestyle. So, I’m sorry. I don’t want to come to the Ye family.”
When Ye Jingcheng heard that, he quickly grabbed Mu Tangxue’s arm and asked, “Is Sheng Xiao threatening you? Is Mu Qiqi…”
“It has nothing to do with them. I have someone I like, and I hope I can always stay by his side,” Mu Tangxue said directly. “Besides, I’m currently working while studying. I’ve no problems in my livelihood. Don’t put your mind on me already. I’m not worth it.”
“Nonsense. Why aren’t you worth it?” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t accept it and looked at Mama Ye. “Mother, did you force Tangxue to say this?”
“This…”
“It has nothing to do with Aunt.” Tangxue took out the photo of the doctor. “He’s my teacher. I really like him. I want to be with him. Jingcheng, let the past be the past. I’m living a good life now. and I hope n.o.body will disturb it. You should rest well today. I will come visit you again when I’m free.”
“Tangxue… Don’t go…”
Ye Jingcheng grabbed Mu Tangxue’s arm. “I love you so much. How can you abandon me and love someone else?”
“Jingcheng, I have only treated you as my brother since the beginning. I never like you that way. I hope you take care.” After that, Tangxue turned around and left Ye Mansion, leaving Ye Jingcheng behind, without even looking back.
“Mother… did you arrange this?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can look into it yourself,” Mama Ye said coldly. “Son, I didn’t have to force Tangxue to do this.”
Ye Jingcheng lay on the bed. At this very moment, his heart felt empty, as if he had lost his favorite toy.
Of course, he would investigate. He wanted to see who had dared to s.n.a.t.c.h away his woman.
