Jing Xiao naturally knew what Zhou Chengsi meant, but he still retorted slowly: "But according to the current situation, the snipe and the clam have no intention of fighting, so the one who benefits is probably not the fisherman. .”
"Then it's up to us to muddy the waters at this time." Zhou Chengsi smiled slyly and reminded, "When grandma went to see Tang Hong, I also went there. Although I didn't hear what they talked about, I felt, Everything is possible."
Jing Xiao frowned, remained silent for a moment, and sneered: "How could Tang Hong tell grandma something that threatened Qian Lin?"
"Of course we know it's impossible, but Qian Lin doesn't necessarily think so." Zhou Chengsi stood up with a smile, walked to his desk, and looked at him with a proud look on his face.
Jing Xiao didn't speak in a hurry. After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud, "This move is quite cruel."
"How can a person with evil intentions not be afraid of knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" Zhou Chengsi waved to him, turned and walked towards the door, "Okay, I'm off work, bye."
Watching his leaving figure, a faint smile of unknown meaning appeared at the corner of Jing Xiao's mouth.
This scene was getting more and more exciting, and he couldn't wait to see the result.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, Jing Xiao returned home.
When he got home downstairs, he received a call from his grandma.
Mrs. Jing knew that they were back, so she called and asked him to find time to take Tang Mu Zhi home for dinner.
Although Jing Xiao agreed, he was still a little tangled in his heart. After all, taking her back now meant that he would have to confess his identity, and he still needed to mentally build up for a while.
When they got home, Aunt Man had already prepared dinner, and Tang Muzhi was watching TV in the living room, and the two of them chatted comfortably.
Laughter spread in the room. Jing Xiao was stunned for a moment, then closed the door and stepped into the room.
After hearing the noise, Aunt Man saw him first and said hello with a smile, "Mr. Jing is back."
Tang Muzhi looked up at him and asked casually. "You haven't been to the company for several days, are you okay?"
"It's okay." He replied calmly, his eyes always falling on her, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated and didn't speak for a long time.
Tang Muzhi was keenly aware of what was unusual about him tonight, and when she was about to ask, he got there first, "I'll go back to the bedroom and change clothes first."
After leaving these words, he went straight to the bedroom.
Tang Mu Zhi stared at his back blankly, his eyebrows gradually frowning.
She always felt that this guy was acting weird tonight.
However, she didn't think much about it and continued to watch TV, waiting for him to finish changing and come over for dinner.
After returning to the bedroom, Jing Xiao didn't see anything belonging to Tang Mu Zhi in the room, so he knew that they would go back to the days when they lived in separate rooms.
Soon, a strong feeling of disappointment and bitterness came into his heart, and when the feeling of powerlessness grew, he just sighed.
When he changed his clothes and came out, Tang Muzhi was still sitting on the sofa, but his attention had shifted from the TV to his mobile phone, and it seemed that he was replying to messages.
Hearing the footsteps, she looked up at Jing Xiao who was walking towards her, put down her phone and said, "Let's eat."
"Okay." He nodded slightly, hiding his disappointment.
After sitting down at the table, the atmosphere between them was a bit awkward.
Aunt Man naturally noticed the subtle changes between them, but she didn't say much. She was just thinking about how to report the situation to Mrs. Jing later.
Tang Muzhi had not yet adapted to the change in her relationship with Jing Xiao, so she didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only lower her head and eat quietly.
At this moment, Jing Xiao was struggling with when to confess his identity to her, so his mood seemed particularly dull.
In the end, he was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
"By the way, the lawyer will find a way to help you get back the money you gave your father."
Upon hearing this, Tang Muzhi's eyes dimmed, she stared at him suspiciously for a while, and asked, "Can I get this back?"
"Yes." He nodded firmly, and then added, "The lawyer will be able to find a solution for this matter."
Tang Muzhi just nodded slightly without saying a word, lowered his eyes and continued to pull the rice in the bowl.
"Do you think there's something wrong?" After a long time, Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows, as if he was testing something.
"No, thank you. I've finished eating and will go back to the room first." She put down her chopsticks, stood up, walked around him and went back to the room.
Jing Xiao looked at her back, pursed his lips and fell into thought.
After returning to the room, Tang Muzhi sat by the bed, holding the photo frame on the bedside table, her eyes filled with tears.
Although she hated Tang Hong, hated what he had done to her, and hated his greed and shamelessness, when she really wanted to break up with him and sever ties with him, she would still inexplicably think of their family. Life in Danzhou.
Even though such a harmonious time only lasted a few years, those were the days when she just remembered them, and they were the origin of memories.
"Grandma, will you blame me?" She looked at the photo and murmured, a tear falling straight on it.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She quickly wiped away the tears on her face and put the photo back where it belonged, "Come in."
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open. Jing Xiao stood at the door but did not come in. Seeing her red eyes, he frowned subconsciously.
"What's wrong?" His voice was filled with concern and worry.
Tang Muzhi shook his head, tried his best to smile, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Hearing this, Jing Xiao paused, then stepped into the house, and said slowly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that grandpa has recovered from his illness, and grandma wants us to go home for dinner in a few days."
After pondering for a long time, he still felt that it would be better to confess his identity earlier, so as not to delay it until later, which would make it harder for them to accept it and make it easier for them to have wild thoughts.
After hearing this, Tang Muzhi acted very calmly and nodded, having no objection to this.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Jing Xiao's frown deepened and he stared at her closely, as if he wanted to understand something from her expression.
Tang Muzhi knew that what he was referring to was that she had not moved back to the master bedroom, so she met his probing gaze without hesitation and looked at him frankly, "I think this is good."
Faced with her unreasonable answer, Jing Xiao did not pursue the question further, "I have been very tired these past few days. You should have a good rest at night."
After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the room.
When Tang Mu Zhi was the only one left in the room, she reached out and covered her chest.
She felt her heartbeat speed up a lot, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down her mood.
Just now, she thought that Jing Xiao would suddenly approach her like he did before, and then trick her into letting them live together tonight.
However, she was wrong, he didn't do that.
In other words, she thought too much.
It was a peaceful night, but it was so difficult to sleep.
Tang Muzhi's insomnia had improved when she was in her hometown in Tanzhou, but after returning to Haicheng, she started to suffer from insomnia again.
After tossing and turning until midnight, she didn't feel sleepy at all. On the contrary, she felt a little hungry.
After hesitating, she got up and walked out of the bedroom.
It was already two o'clock in the morning, and Aunt Man had already gone to bed, so she could only go to the kitchen to find food by herself.
She didn't even dare to turn on the light for fear of waking them up, so she could only use the flashlight of her mobile phone for lighting.
As soon as she reached the refrigerator, the light in the living room suddenly turned on. She was startled and almost dropped the phone in her hand.
"Why don't you turn on the light when you are looking for something?" Jing Xiao asked quietly. He was standing not far away, looking straight at her.
Tang Muzhi turned her head and glanced in his direction, bit her lip gently, hesitated for a moment, and then explained with some embarrassment: "I...I'm just thirsty."
With that said, she took out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator.
The moment the refrigerator door was closed, Jing Xiao had already stepped in front of her, and his tall body blocked her from leaving.
"Are you hungry?" he asked, his deep and mellow voice carrying a bit of magnetism.
When eating in the evening, she was absent-minded and didn't eat much, and she had the habit of eating late night snacks. Now when she went out to look in the refrigerator, it was natural that she wasn't just thirsty.
Tang Muzhi blinked his big confused eyes and didn't answer, but that little expression said everything.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao's eyes couldn't help but fall on the milk in her hand, and warned: "Don't drink ice in the middle of the night."
His voice sounded cold, but full of concern.
Tang Mu Zhi's heart suddenly throbbed, and she looked at him blankly, forgetting how to react.
"I know." After a long time, she replied slowly.
While speaking, she caught a glimpse of Jing Xiao opening the refrigerator again and putting back the bottle of milk in her hand.
"Can I have some noodles?" After looking around in the refrigerator, he asked, with a light soft color on his handsome features.
Tang Muzhi shook his head and declined his proposal, "It's very late, so I won't eat."
Jing Xiao stood there without moving, his black eyes slightly narrowed, a complicated look flashed across his eyes, "Can you sleep when you are hungry?"
When he said this, Tang Muzhi suddenly felt a sense of hunger coming from his abdomen.
In the end, she compromised, "Then you go and rest, and I'll cook some noodles."
With that said, she looked in the refrigerator and took out a few ingredients.
"I'll do it." Jing Xiao grabbed her wrist fiercely.
His voice was low and sweet, with a charming flavor.
Tang Muzhi froze on the spot, letting him press her down on the dining chair, and watched as he took the thing in his hand.
"Just wait." Jing Xiao frowned and said, then walked to the kitchen without saying a word.
Her lips opened and closed, and in the end she just said awkwardly, "Thank you."
Jing Xiao nodded calmly and said nothing more, but focused on making her a midnight snack.
Seeing his skillful look, Tang Muzhi couldn't help but form a slight smile on his lips, and felt an inexplicable sense of happiness in his heart.
It can be said that Jing Xiao is completely different from before. This change makes him more charming and exciting.
