When she returned to the living room, Weng Lu lowered her eyes and stared at the sleeping Tang Mu Zhi, without any change in expression on her face.
Perhaps not telling some things is the best protection for everyone.
After Jing Xiao hung up the phone, he was about to leave to pick up Tang Mu Zhi, but before leaving, Shi Qian came.
"Master Jing, a lawyer has already tried to find a way to release Tang Hong on bail." He reported straight to the point as soon as he entered the office.
Hearing this, Jing Xiao glanced at him with cold eyes, his eyes were dark, exuding a terrifying cold light, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.
Seeing this, he hurriedly explained: "I have sent people to investigate this matter and confirmed that it was Qian Lin who arranged it. It seems that they have reached an agreement. If he bails Tang Hong out, Tang Hong will give him what he wants." s things."
Jing Xiao suppressed all the thoughts in his eyes and sneered coldly: "His matter cannot be solved by just finding a lawyer."
Shi Qian stood there, lowering his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Master Jing, what should we do now?"
"No need to do anything. Tang Hong will not be allowed to be released on bail in his current situation. What's more, now that grandma has intervened in this matter, do you think she will let Tang Hong come out easily?" As he said this, he shouted He walked towards the door, obviously not wanting to waste time on this kind of thing.
Shi Qian nodded respectfully and followed him out the door.
After entering the elevator, Jing Xiao said worriedly, "If Tang Hong knew Qian Lin couldn't save him, he would definitely think of other ways, so the most important thing now is not to let him see Zhizhi."
"Understood." Shi Qian nodded, and after a while he took out his phone and started making arrangements.
Originally, Jing Xiao wanted to deal with Tang Hong's trouble as soon as possible, but he never thought that things would become more and more troublesome.
About half an hour later, he arrived at Weng Lu's house.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Tang Mu Zhi drunk on the sofa.
He had a brief conversation with Weng Lu and said nothing about Tang Hong.
It has been more than three hours since Tang Muzhi got drunk. Although she was very drunk at first, she has gradually sobered up now.
She could hear the voices in her ears and could tell that the person talking to her mother at the moment was Jing Xiao, but her eyelids were still a little heavy and she couldn't open them for a while.
When Jing Xiao carried her outside, a familiar smell poured into her nose, making her thoughts become clearer and clearer.
After going downstairs and getting in the car, Tang Muzhi slowly opened her eyes. In the dim light, Jing Xiao's handsome and extraordinary facial features were even more profound and charming.
She blinked her sour eyes, swallowed, opened her lips lightly, and softly called his name, "Jing Xiao..."
"Yeah." He responded lightly, and the hand that was about to fasten her seat belt stopped, and asked with concern, "How is it? Are you feeling better? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
She shook her head, frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Her sudden alienation made Jing Xiao's heart feel like being pricked by a needle, and the pain slowly spread.
Jing Xiao lowered his eyes slightly, frowned tightly, and stared at her with a deep look, his thin lips pressed into a tight line, as if he was hesitant to speak.
After a long time, he slowly removed her hand, leaned over and fastened her seat belt, "Go home."
When he just got closer to her, he smelled the faint scent of wine on her body, which was not too strong and smelled very good.
And almost at the same time, Tang Mu Zhi's breath penetrated into his clear and pleasant scent, making her feel dazed.
After a while, Jing Xiao drove away, and the atmosphere in the car was inexplicably depressing.
They didn't speak any more along the way.
The car stopped steadily in Yajiang Beiyuan. Before Jing Xiao opened the door and got out of the car, Tang Muzhi turned to him and thanked him softly, "Jing Xiao, thank you for today."
"No need." He slightly raised the corners of his lips and uttered two words in a low voice.
After saying that, he went around to the other side to open the car door for her, helped her get out of the car, and then went straight to the elevator to go home.
Tang Muzhi didn't say anything more, nor did she resist his move. She obediently let him hold her hand and stood beside him honestly.
After the two entered the house, Aunt Man had already prepared dinner, so they went directly to the dining table to eat.
During the meal, Jing Xiao did not speak except for helping her pick up the dishes a few times. The atmosphere between them was still dull and depressing.
Tang Muzhi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. After finally finishing her meal, she fled back to the bedroom.
Aunt Man could see their every move very clearly in the kitchen.
When only Jing Xiao was left at the dining table, she walked out and asked in a low voice, "Did we have a fight?"
Jing Xiao picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of water, and denied in an indifferent tone, "No."
Aunt Man obviously didn't believe it, but she just shook her head helplessly and reminded her earnestly: "Zhizhi is still young. She doesn't think as much as you think about many things. Even if she says something, don't think too much about it. .”
Jing Xiao raised his eyebrows and did not deny her words. He put down the water glass, stood up and went straight back to the room.
While taking a shower in the bathroom, his mind was filled with what Tang Mu Zhi said, and he felt very uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but clenched his fists, his knuckles turning blue-white.
After washing and changing clothes, he came out of the bedroom, went to the door of Tang Mu Zhi's room, and knocked on the door, but no one in the room responded.
Originally, he wanted to open the door directly and go in, but after thinking about it, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he went to the kitchen and asked Aunt Man to make a cup of honey water.
When Jing Xiao went in with honey water, there was no one in the bedroom, only the sound of water running came from the bathroom.
At that moment, he felt that his heart was completely messed up.
He stood at the door, neither entering nor leaving, and the glass of honey water in his hand was held tighter and tighter.
About ten minutes later, the sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped, and Tang Muzhi opened the door and walked out.
Because she had just taken a shower, her cheeks were red and there were fine drops of water on her forehead.
When she saw Jing Xiao, she was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but pause in her steps.
She was wearing a dress, and the neckline revealed a piece of delicate and fair skin, as well as her beautiful collarbones. Jing Xiao looked at it intently, and traces of fire appeared in her eyes.
He raised the cup in his hand and said calmly, "Drink a cup of honey water before going to sleep."
"Thank you." Tang Muzhi hesitated for a moment, then walked towards him.
When she reached out to take the cup, their fingertips touched each other. At that moment, sparks seemed to burst out, making Jing Xiao's eyes suddenly darken.
Tang Muzhi lowered her eyes, gently blew away the heat, and took a sip of honey water. The warm water flowed down her throat, but it could not dispel the panic in her heart.
Her eyes were always on the rim of the cup, without raising her eyes or speaking. Her whole person showed a faint sense of alienation and indifference.
Jing Xiao looked at her, his Adam's apple rolled, and after staring quietly for a few seconds, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Tang Muzhi reached out and grabbed him, bit her pink lips, and said softly: "I'm sorry."
In fact, on the way back, she had already felt that something was wrong with Jing Xiao's mood. This low pressure seemed to reach its peak during the meal, and it was really life-threatening.
She knew that this glass of honey water was specially sent by Jing Xiao in order to ease the relationship between them. After all, he could ask Aunt Man to do this kind of thing. She was not stupid and could understand some things.
Now that Jing Xiao has taken the lead in breaking the deadlock between them, she must do something. She cannot let him silently bear all the grievances and embarrassments.
Obviously before, she could tell Jing Xiao straightforwardly and clearly about anything, so as to prevent misunderstanding between them. Just like the time when he changed his password in anger, she could boldly express her inner thoughts and explain. Create misunderstandings between each other.
At that time, she was carefree and carefree, but now, she has become fearful and hesitant.
It seemed that ever since Jing Xiao confessed to her, she felt a little more timid inside. Maybe it was not just timidity, but also shyness and confusion.
Her words made Jing Xiao's back stiffen. He suddenly turned around to face her, his eyes were deep and he asked in a calm tone, "Why did you say you're sorry to me?"
Tang Muzhi looked at him, her eyes slightly moist, and her tone was full of guilt, "I shouldn't always push our relationship so far away."
Her voice became softer and softer, as if she was trying her best to hide her inner uneasiness and guilt.
Jing Xiao's eyes locked deeply on her red face, a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.
His silence at this moment made Tang Muzhi feel a little flustered. She let go of her hand holding his arm, looked at the water glass in her hand, and murmured in a low voice: "I just haven't adapted to our relationship yet, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Jing Xiao suddenly reached out and lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes.
The cup in Tang Muzhi's hand almost dropped, but fortunately he reached out to take it and put it directly on the cabinet nearby.
Jing Xiao's fingers were warm, his eyes darkened, and a low-mellow voice slowly sounded, "Zhizhi, you'd better adapt to our relationship quickly."
Hearing this, she was startled for a moment, then nodded gently, "Okay."
"In that case, why don't I help you." He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
The next second, he leaned over and kissed her lips, domineering and forceful, plundering her breath aggressively, not allowing her to protest or refuse.
Tang Muzhi's eyes widened in an instant, looking at the enlarged handsome face in front of him in disbelief. His head was rumbling, and even his breathing was out of rhythm.
This kiss came so unexpectedly that she didn't even have room to struggle.
Jing Xiao actually took the initiative to kiss her, and the kiss was so fierce and lingering, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
He seemed to want to get back everything he had lost before at this moment.
