Tang Hong didn't realize that death was approaching, but he still kept chattering: "The daughter I raised will not watch me lying dead on the street."
The knife in Jing Xiao's hand was increasing in strength, and he mocked: "The daughter you raised? How did I hear that you haven't taken care of her for more than ten years?"
Faced with the sudden question, Tang Hong was stunned for a moment, and then he snorted dismissively: "No matter what, she is my daughter. She will not ignore my affairs. Yesterday she even gave me a I have paid the money, so you can rest assured Mr. Lin that my daughter will help me pay back the money I owe him."
Listening to his words, Jing Xiao's eyes were full of sarcasm and disgust, and the hand holding the knife was shaking a little. He really wanted to kill this beast directly.
After a long time, he calmed down his expression, lowered his eyes, covering up the killing intent in his eyes, put the knife back in his hand, and sat back on the sofa.
After the knife was removed from his neck, Tang Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, begged for mercy in a trembling voice, and said with a sincere face: "Let me go, I promise, I will be able to sell the house and pay back the money within three days."
Jing Xiao leaned lazily on the sofa, tapping his knees rhythmically with his slender white fingers, and looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes. He really didn't want to talk to this kind of person anymore, so he waved his hand and motioned for someone to take him out.
"Where are you taking me? Let go." Tang Hong kept struggling and yelling.
But no matter how he tried to break away, it was still to no avail. In the end, he could only be forcibly dragged out. His voice became farther and farther away until it disappeared.
"Master Jing, what should Tang Hong do?" Shi Qian stood aside and asked with worry on his face.
Jing Xiao didn't speak immediately. He stared at something indifferently without blinking. After a while, he said, "Go and find out why he is so sure that he can sell the house in three days? Besides, how many days have he spent in these days?" Arrange some people to protect Zhizhi and don’t let this kind of beast appear in front of her.”
"I know." Shi Qian nodded and accepted the order, then turned to leave.
However, as soon as he started taking steps, he seemed to have remembered something, stopped, and said hesitantly, "Master Jing, are you really going to let him go like this?"
Shouldn't this bastard be beaten up and thrown directly into the police station?
Jing Xiao raised his eyes to look at him, his deep black eyes filled with cold air, and said coldly: "It's not the time yet."
If the time hadn't come yet, he would never have shown mercy just now.
"Yes." Shi Qian responded and then went out.
When the private room became quiet again, Jing Xiao lit a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
He narrowed his eyes and frowned more and more. His whole body exuded a terrifying aura of violence, as if it was about to freeze the air. What Tang Hong said kept coming to his mind.
If he didn't arrange for someone to follow Tang Mu Zhi, or if Tang Mu Zhi didn't meet him, would this beast really destroy her now?
That assumption was too terrifying, and he really didn't dare to think about it further.
After a long time, he put out the cigarette in his hand, stood up, buttoned his suit slowly, and then walked out the door.
At noon, after Tang Muzhi finished the exam, he saw many missed calls on his mobile phone.
Those are all from the same person, Tang Hong.
She frowned, and she knew without guessing that Tang Hong would definitely be up to no good if he came to her.
So, she decisively chose not to call back and pretended not to see it.
When she arrived home in the evening, there was a box in the living room.
Tang Muzhi recognized that it belonged to Mrs. Jing, so as she walked into the house, she asked, "Grandma, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Jing took her hand with a smile, patted it lovingly, and said, "Zhizhi, your grandpa is sick. I have to go back and take a look."
Upon hearing this, she instantly became worried and asked in an urgent tone: "Grandpa is sick? Is it serious? I will go back with you."
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem, it's just a common cold. Just take some medicine and you'll be fine." After Mrs. Jing explained, she paused and continued, "You should take the exam well now. After the exam is over, you can Just go back with Ah Xiao to see him."
"It's still early. I can definitely accompany you back to see grandpa." She was still worried, so she suggested again.
"Zhizhi, it's okay. Just be obedient and take the exam first." Mrs. Jing patiently comforted her, patting her hand gently to comfort her.
Seeing this, Tang Mu Zhi couldn't say anything more and could only nod in agreement.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, Jing Xiao came back.
Hearing him talking to Aunt Man, Tang Muzhi quickly came out of the bedroom and asked, "Did you know that grandpa is sick?"
Seeing that she came out of the second bedroom, Jing Xiao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason. Was she impatient to sleep in a separate room with him?
"I went to see grandpa. He's fine. Don't worry." He replied calmly, trying to hide the dark light in his eyes.
Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "That's good."
"How was the exam today?" Jing Xiao looked up at her and asked in a soft tone.
"It's not bad." She nodded slightly, walked to the sofa and sat down. Since she didn't want to discuss this, she changed the topic, "It's the easiest time to catch a cold now, so you should pay more attention to yourself."
"Yes." Jing Xiao responded in a low voice, then turned and returned to the room.
Her breath disappeared from the bedroom, the red panda on the bed disappeared, and even the sheets were replaced with new ones.
Jing Xiao irritably pulled off the tie around his neck, his eyes were red, and he felt a wave of boredom in his heart.
Her movements were really fast, so fast that she didn't even give him a chance to save her.
In the past, he didn't like her scent in his room, but now, he didn't like this room without her scent.
He stood still and stared in the room for a moment, then stepped forward and entered the bathroom.
Everything she had used in the bathroom was now gone, as if she had never been in this room in the past two days.
This feeling made Jing Xiao extremely uncomfortable, as if he had lost some precious treasure.
He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to suppress the stale air in his chest.
During dinner in the evening, his face looked very bad.
Although Tang Muzhi saw that something was wrong with him, she didn't ask much and just assumed that he was upset because her grandfather was ill.
After eating quietly, they didn't communicate much and went back to their bedrooms.
They are destined to have trouble sleeping tonight.
In the next two days, Jing Xiao would still send Tang Mu Zhi to school every morning.
When we eat together, we occasionally chat.
It was obvious that they looked the same as before, but Tang Muzhi could detect that there was a sense of depression spreading between them.
On the day the exam ended, she received a call from Tanzhou.
It was said that Tang Hong had contacted people and was preparing to sell the house.
Although she didn't know how he did it, Tang Muzhi felt that she needed to go back immediately, so she immediately booked a train ticket back to Tanzhou in the evening.
When she went home to pack her luggage, there was no one in the house. Aunt Man seemed to have gone out to buy groceries.
After she finished packing and just walked out of the bedroom with the box, there was movement at the door. She thought it was Aunt Man coming back from shopping for groceries, but she never expected that the person entering the house was Jing Xiao.
Seeing her pulling the suitcase, he frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing?"
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to notify him of this matter in advance.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Her hand holding the suitcase tightened slightly, she swallowed and explained, "I'm going back to Tanzhou tonight."
"Going back tonight? Why do you have to be in such a hurry?" Jing Xiao stepped towards her, his eyes filled with confusion and even a hint of displeasure.
"There are some things to deal with." As she said that, she prepared to walk around him.
However, Jing Xiao raised his hand and grabbed her arm, looking at her deeply with complicated emotions in his eyes, but he hesitated to speak.
Tang Muzhi raised her eyes to meet his gaze, also pursed her lips and remained silent.
After a long time, she was defeated and lightly opened her lips, "I really have to leave, otherwise I won't be able to catch the car."
Jing Xiao's brows became tighter and tighter, and even his breathing became a little heavier. He took a deep breath, pretended to be calm and said, "I'll see you off."
After saying this, before she could say anything, he picked up the suitcase and walked straight to the door.
Seeing that he insisted on doing this, Tang Mu Zhi shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to let him go.
"Thank you." After entering the elevator, she suddenly uttered these two words.
"You're welcome." Jing Xiao looked forward, with a hint of indifference in his tone.
After getting on the bus, Tang Muzhi sent a message to Yu Youxi, telling her that she had gone back early, and that she didn't need to go with him and didn't have to worry.
Jing Xiao glanced at her, and then the slightly gloomy voice of questioning sounded in the car, "If I don't come back early, aren't you going to tell me about returning to Tanzhou early?"
Hearing this, she put down her phone, turned to look at him, and explained: "I was busy packing my luggage and forgot about it for a while."
"Forgot?" Upon hearing this, Jing Xiao suddenly increased his tone, obviously unhappy.
Rather than saying that she had forgotten, she might as well say that she was not that important to her.
"I'm sorry, it's not that I didn't tell you, I really forgot." Tang Muzhi explained again, looking at him aggrievedly, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Then tell me, why do you want to return to Tanzhou early?" He did not calm down because of her explanation, but instead asked more seriously.
"I..." She was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing her hesitation, Jing Xiao asked again: "Is there anything you can't let me know? Are you going back to see your first love?"
When the words "first love" came out of his mouth, he felt that he must be crazy. He knew the reason why she went back, but he still said such stupid things.
"Of course not." Tang Muzhi quickly denied it, and finally added, "I have never liked anyone before."
She had never been in love with anyone before marrying him. Where did her first love come from?
