C167 How to go back

Mu Xichen's eyes turned scarlet red, and in that instant, his face was already drenched in sweat.

He clenched his fist and his knuckles turned white. He stared at the newspaper and soon the newspaper was crumpled into a ball and thrown into the trash can.

Qin Yue had never seen him look this angry before.

As a result, seeing Mu Xichen, who was covered in killing intent, walking out from behind the desk, Qin Yue unconsciously retreated. In her panic, she bumped into a corner of the tea table, and if she did not hold on in time, she would have fallen over.

"Qin Yue, have you thought about the consequences?"

Mu Xichen said word by word. His gaze was so cold that it could freeze a person into an ice sculpture.

"No, no, I didn't do it …"

If she was given a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare do it either, Qin Yue stammered.

The situation now was different from the past. She had known long ago that her position was no longer the same as before, so how could she dare challenge Mu Xichen?

"Qin Yue, don't think that you're very smart."

Regardless of what she said, Mu Xichen was still aiming at her.

His bloodthirsty eyes seemed to want to skin this untactful woman alive the next moment.

"It really isn't me. It's … it's aunty …" Qin Yue's face was drenched in sweat, her lips trembling as she struggled to speak, her beautiful eyes begging for mercy looking at the bone-chilling man.

Had it not been for her instigation, if it had not been for her appearance at the wedding, would things have turned out like this? Mu Xichen let out an unpleasant laugh from his throat, and his entire face looked cold and terrifying.

As he walked forward step by step, Qin Yue retreated step by step until he reached a corner where he could not retreat at all. In the corner of a wall, he looked at the man's bone-white hands in fear, afraid that he would pinch her neck in the next moment.

"Xichen, if you don't believe me, you can call my aunt. I really didn't do it, I really didn't do it." Qin Yue frantically tried to free herself from the situation, but there were already tears in her eyes.

"Qin Yue, do you want to know your place in my heart?"

Mu Xichen suddenly laughed, looking down from above at the beautiful woman, she was the goddess in the eyes of millions of people, the dream lover of countless men.

Her beautiful face immediately turned pale white, the kind that couldn't suppress the loss of blood due to panic. Qin Yue was startled for a moment, then shook her head again and again.

While shaking her head, she bit down hard on her lips with her pure white teeth. Soon, traces of blood appeared on her lips.

"No, no, please, don't say it …"

There was no time like this when she felt herself to be more fragile, vulnerable to a single blow.

She clearly knew that men were going to speak, but she didn't want to hear it. Even if it was deceiving herself, even living in an illusion she created would be better than directly facing a bloody reality.

Qin Yue kept begging with tears in her eyes.

If it was anyone else, they would probably be moved to see her in such a pitiful state.

Only Mu Xichen was completely unmoved.

Regardless of how much Qin Yue resisted or how unwilling she was, Mu Xichen did not hit her, nor did she do anything that would go out of line.

He just lowered his head with a boyish expression on his face. His deep eyes were shining with starlight, and his cold lips were uttering words that were so moving and serious.

"Qin Yue, I must tell you, I love Lin Qing, I love her, ever since the day I obtained the certificate from her, I have determined that she is the only woman in my life who has not changed. Do you understand?

Mu Xichen turned around and left mercilessly, not even sparing Qin Yue a glance.

As for Qin Yue, who was curled up in a corner, she was already crying to the point of tears.

When Du Xuefen received Mu Xichen's call, she had long since been prepared. Thus, before he even opened his mouth to question her, she had voluntarily admitted that she was the one who did all of this.

"Son, Lin Qing can't turn back now. You should understand the current situation of the Hetian, and the recent changes in situation are all because of Lin Qing. The Hetian, including the entire family of the Mu Family, need to rest, and it is not easy for Xiao Yue to bring her child with her.

Unable to turn his head, Mu Xichen pondered over these words repeatedly.

As for what happened afterwards, he basically did not listen to much of it.

The entire place was dead silent, Qin Yue had long stopped crying and looked at him timidly.

Mu Xichen's heart was filled with clamor. His slender fingers opened the drawer under the desk and fumbled around. After fumbling for a box of high quality cigars, he lit it up and not long later, he was engulfed by smoke.

He was thinking about how to turn back.

Qin Yue's cell phone started to ring sharply, breaking the silence. Qin Yue quickly got up to pick up the phone, and after hanging up, she looked at the man who was trapped in the smoke with a face full of fear.

"Xichen, Youxi, Youxi, he …"

Mu Xichen's expression turned cold, without thinking he extinguished the cigar and jumped out of his seat, striding towards the door.

Lin Qing waited for a long time, until her eyes started to ache. She was still staring at the door, and when she saw the familiar figure of a man quickly coming out from the door, she immediately raised her hand to push the door.

Following that, Qin Yue stepped on her high heels and ran out. Her expression was indistinct, but the swaying posture of her long skirt was extremely alluring, it was the kind of woman who had no blind spots at 360 degrees, the way Lin Qing pushed the door open and stopped.

In less than a minute, Mu Xichen got into the car. Qin Yue opened the side door and got into the passenger seat — her previous seat. Then, the car drove away in a cloud of dust.

Lin Qing's heart, had completely fallen to the bottom of the valley.

The hand that pushed open the door slowly slipped away. She held it vigilantly and placed it on her knee. However, no matter what, she could not muster up the courage to chase after him and ask him what was going on in the newspapers.

Slowly, the corner of Lin Qing's mouth formed a sneer.

Now that things had come to this, there was no need to ask any further. The two of them had gotten close enough to get off work together, so the contents of the newspaper article didn't seem strange to him.

So, what was she waiting here for? Lin Qing wiped her forehead. It was cool, but that kind of warmth was far less than the cold feeling in her heart.

"Miss, I have to leave at eight o'clock. How long are you going to wait?"

The driver yawned and asked her sleepily.

"No need, I'm getting off now."

Lin Qing pushed open the door and got off the carriage. A cold wind blew past him, causing him to shiver.

Standing at the bottom of the Hetian, she looked up at the window of Mu Xichen's office on the eighteenth floor, and when she saw that her eyes were sore, she bit her lips, then resolutely turned and left.

On the sidewalk, her back was stubborn and lonely.

Shangguan Lv, who had just come out of his office building, saw a figure faintly discernable from the side of the green belt on the side of the sidewalk. As he focused, his eyes widened and he quickly took out his phone to report to his boss.

Although the boss didn't say it clearly, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that something must have gone wrong between the two of them.

If not, Qin Yue would never brazenly run to the CEO's office again, and they would not see the CEO's wife walking on the sidewalk alone.

The phone rang a few times, but no one answered.

Seeing that the figure was about to disappear, Shangguan Lv was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat. He called his again, while calling her, he stomped his feet anxiously: "Boss, quickly answer the phone, if you don't, it's too late … …"

The call finally connected. Shangguan Lv replied without thinking, "Boss, I saw …"

Qin Yue's soft voice came from the other side of the phone: "Hello, Director Shangguan, is I Qin Yue? Xichen is busy right now, if there's anything I can tell him …"

Shangguan Lv was at a loss for words, there was nothing left to say, and he quickly ended the call.

As for Qin Yue, she quickly returned the phone back to its original position and glanced outside the window. It just so happened that Mu Xichen was leading a person over and Qin Yue pretended that nothing had happened and welcomed him with a smile.

On the morning of the second day, Mu Xichen, who had been busy the entire night about Youxi, did not slack in the face of Hetian's pressure. At half an hour on the dot, he arrived at his job, looking exhausted.

Shangguan Lv reported the latest developments, the Ling Family had not done much recently, but regarding the development projects around the city's suburbs, they were all stirred up, as if they were competing with the Hetian s.

If not for the Ling Family's participation, Hetian would not have put so much effort into this project. It was just that as the rumors were going on, Hetian had to cherish every opportunity and this project would become a top priority at the most crucial moment.

After Shangguan Lv and the others finished their conversation, they walked to the door of the room. As soon as they stepped out, Shangguan Lv suddenly remembered something and turned around: "Boss, yesterday, I saw a familiar person at the bottom of Hetian."

Mu Xichen rubbed between his brows and asked indifferently: "Who?"

Just as Shangguan Lv was about to speak, the door was knocked, Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow, Shangguan Lv understood, and interrupted the conversation, opening the door, only to see Mo Lun standing at the door, smiling and nodding at him.

"Hello, Lawyer Mo. That case, isn't it over already? "The people in charge of those factories were all beaten up, but it was because someone had framed them with malicious intent …"

Shangguan Lv asked in confusion.

He had only met Mo Lun once because of the matter of Mu Xichen being taken away by the police last time.

Under the operation of Molun, the matter was quickly brought to light. However, the mastermind behind this matter was not found out, and in the end, only the culprit was caught to atone for his crimes.

Although Mo Lun seemed to be resourceful and did what the Hetian Royal Lawyer did, saving Mu Xichen in just a little over twenty hours, Shangguan Lv felt that Mo Lun was not as simple as a lawyer when it came to talking about this.

So, seeing the first reaction of Mo Lun, Shangguan Lv unfriendlyfrowned. A few big words appeared on his forehead, indicating that he didn't welcome him.

However, Mo Lun didn't think so. He merely smiled politely: "Director Shangguan, don't be nervous, I am here to talk to President Mu on behalf of my client, Lin Qing …"

Shangguan Lv's expression immediately changed. When Mu Xichen heard Mo Lun's words, the hand holding the mouse tightened for a moment. That pair of deep eyes of his, which was hard to see any change in his emotions, trembled uncontrollably a few times.

Shangguan Lv didn't have any intentions of giving way. In fact, when he looked at Mo Lun again, he felt even more hostility than before.

He looked at the staff in the corridor who were rushing around. Everyone seemed to be very busy as they smiled and said, "I think talking at the door is not in accordance with Hetian's etiquette …"

"Invite Lawyer Mo in." Shangguan Lv frowned and made way for him. As usual, Mo Lun politely smiled, lifted his leg and walked in, while closing the door behind him.

Regarding the purpose of Mo Lun's visit, Mu Xichen could not guess, or rather, did not dare to guess.
