Chapter 636: You Can, But I Can’t
Mu Qiqi didn’t plan to do anything to Ye Jingcheng. But Sheng Xiao obviously wouldn’t let it go.
She stretched out her hand and touched Sheng Xiao’s handsome face lovingly. She loved him as much as he loved her. She did not want Xiaoxiao to carry the burden of her past.
“I have almost forgotten the past.”
“You can, but I can’t.” Although Sheng Xiao’s eyes were closed, his tone was firm and unquestionable.
Mu Qiqi smiled and stopped talking. This man knew how far he could go. She didn’t have to worry at all.
What about Ye Jingcheng?
After the failure of his first attempt at abducting the teacher, he changed his plan and gave Mu Tangxue all sorts of luxurious gifts. He wanted to tell the whole school that Mu Tangxue was his and that no one could compare to him.
In the past, Mu Tangxue would gladly accept everything. But now, she wanted to be loyal to her own feelings, so she dumped everything Ye Jingcheng gave her into the trash can.
Ye Jingcheng went to school to fetch Mu Tangxue. Seeing her ignoring him, he sighed. “Is this the Mu Tangxue I know?”
Mu Tangxue knew he was by the gate, but she walked past his car and headed to her old small house.
Ye Jingcheng couldn’t stand it, so he got out of the car and stood in front of her. “Tangxue, are you really going to treat me like this?”
“Jingcheng, I told you very clearly already. I have someone I like. I hope you won’t disturb my life.”
“Mu Tangxue, don’t you feel touched by the things I have done for you?” Ye Jingcheng grabbed her arm. “Come back to me. Only I can give you happiness. What can that poor teacher give you?”
“I can have nothing in my life, but I simply like Mr. Lu. I’m sorry, Jingcheng.”
After that, Mu Tangxue shook his hand off.
“What is it that I’m not good at? Tell me, Tangxue. I can change. You were very close to me when we were young. I made Mu Qiqi suffer so much to protect you. To find you, I even broke the law and stole a corpse. I even offended Sheng Xiao. How can you not like me and fall in love with someone else?”
After listening to Ye Jingcheng’s words, Mu Tangxue turned around and looked at Ye Jingcheng. “Must I like you if you like me? To be honest, Jingcheng, I never asked you to do all these for me. Weren’t you the one who did those willingly? If I used you, you can just think of me as someone despicable and shameless.”
Ye Jingcheng’s heart was fl.u.s.tered.
Because he did not know what was wrong with Mu Tangxue. He did not know why she was treating him like this.
“I know. That teacher must have done something to you. Otherwise, why would you be so loyal to him?” After saying this, Ye Jingcheng jumped back into his car.
Mu Tangxue knew that a big trouble was coming. So, she called for a cab immediately and rushed to Mr. Lu’s house.
But Ye Jingcheng was crazy. He sped like a madman. Once he got to the house, he banged on the door frantically. The noise even disturbed the neighbors nearby.
Mr. Lu was helpless, so he could only open the door. “Who are you?”
Ye Jingcheng marched into the house without a word and gave Mr. Lu a hard kick on the stomach. After that, he picked up the ashtray and threw it at Mr. Lu’s head.
Blood poured out from the wound on Mr. Lu’s head immediately. However, Ye Jingcheng had no intention to stop at all.
It was at that moment that Mu Tangxue caught up with him. Before Ye Jingcheng could make his next move, she stood in front of Mr. Lu. “If you want to hit him, you have to hit me first.”
Ye Jingcheng looked at Mu Tangxue. Then, he pushed her aside. “It’s the appearance of this man that made you lose yourself. I want him to die today.”
Mu Tangxue did not say anything. She called the police right away. Then, she jumped in front of Mr. Lu again, planning to use her body to s.h.i.+eld her teacher.
Ye Jingcheng was a raging mess.
Luckily, the neighbors came to help and pinned Ye Jingcheng to the ground. If he kept on going amok like this, they could not predict what would happen in the end.
“Mr. Lu, are you alright?”
Before Mr. Lu could answer, he fainted.
Soon, the policemen came and brought Ye Jingcheng to the police station. At the same time, the ambulance sent Mr. Lu to the hospital for treatment.
Mu Tangxue’s body was stained with blood. She was clearly in shock.
No, she felt anger and guilt in her heart more than that.
At the hospital, she walked along the corridor in despair. After the doctor examined Mr. Lu’s injury, he told her Mr. Lu needed an operation and that payment had to be made immediately for them to perform it.
At that moment, Mu Tangxue realized how troublesome of a person she was that she brought bad luck to the person she liked.
She had no choice. She could only think of one person, and it was none other than Mu Qiqi. She knew that only Mu Qiqi could help him.
“Doctor, please give me an hour. I will go and collect the money.”
Looking at her plain outfit, the doctor nodded. “You must be quick. The patient cannot wait.”
Mu Tangxue nodded and went to the police station immediately. Since she didn’t have Mu Qiqi’s contact number, she could only go there.
Feng Shanshan was still in the police station. When she saw Mu Tangxue standing there with bloodstains, she thought she was Mu Qiqi at first. But when she took a closer look, she knew she was Mu Qiqi’s sister.
“Sister, can you contact Mu Qiqi for me? I have an emergency.”
Feng Shanshan sighed and called Mu Qiqi in the middle of the night. “Your sister is at the police station. She’s covered in blood. You might have to come and handle her.”
“Pa.s.s her the phone,” Mu Qiqi said.
Feng Shanshan pa.s.sed her phone to Mu Tangxue. “Your sister wants to talk to you.”
“Sister…” Mu Tangxue broke into tears. “I know I have done you wrong in the past. But now, only you can help me save Mr. Lu. That sc.u.mbag, Ye Jingcheng, hit Mr. Lu’s head.”
Mu Qiqi could not feel the sadness of Mu Tangxue, but she knew that Mr. Lu was innocent.
So, she turned her head and looked at Sheng Xiao.
“Xu Che has taken care of it already. The operation is now in progress,” Sheng Xiao replied, sitting on the bed.
Mu Qiqi repeated the answer to Mu Tangxue. “He is undergoing the operation now. But, I think you should stay away from Mr. Lu for the sake of his safety. He is just a commoner. When you make everyone know about your feelings, you should have predicted this.”
“I’ve never liked a person. And I don’t know how to like a person.” Mu Tangxue answered in tears. “But I know it now. How can I protect him? Sister, I beg you…”
“Ye Jingcheng will definitely trouble him again. If you really wish your teacher well, you should leave him entirely.”
