Chapter 223 Find a Way to Escape the Calamity
"Yes, I'm used to it, and it's very comfortable to use." Pu Lianyao pointed to the sofa opposite: "Please sit down."

Bai Muqing didn't say anything more. After sitting down on the sofa opposite her, she stared at her and said, "Why did you invite me here? Are you afraid that I will bring Nangong Chen with you?"

"I know that you and Nangong Chen get along very well recently, but I didn't come here to deal with him, but to help him. It's okay for you to bring him here." Pu Lianyao gave her a glass of juice and smiled: "This It's grapefruit tea for you, you like it."

Bai Muqing didn't even glance at the juice in her hand, but asked, "Help Nangongchen? What do you mean?"

"As a destined lover, you are drinking and living outside, while the innocent Miss Zhu is suffering at Nangong's house. Fortunately, my cousin still loves you so much and believes in you. It turns out that you are just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Even cousin I don't care about my life."

"I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death, I just don't believe in destined lovers."

"Even people who come out of medical school like me believe it, but you don't believe it?"

Bai Muqing looked at her in surprise, she actually believed it?
"Nangong Chen's strange disease does exist, and Mrs. Jing does exist. What right do you not believe in something that the Nangong family has believed in for 30 years?"

"Miss Pu invited me out today, is she trying to persuade me to go back to Nangong's house to die?" Bai Muqing said a little upset.

Regarding this matter, she has always been skeptical, and it will be affected to some extent by Pu Lianyao's words.In order to stick to her idea of ​​advocating science, she had to stop Pu Lianyao from continuing.

"No, I'm not persuading you to go back, I just want to tell you one thing." Pu Lianyao stared at her seriously and said: "Miss Zhu is about to go crazy from fright, in order to survive, she is thinking about how to kill Nangong every day Chen, because only when Nangong Chen dies can she be free and survive, do you understand?"

Her words made Bai Muqing's heart tighten little by little.

Even though Pu Lianyao was deliberately threatening her, what she said was not unreasonable. Zhu Zhu was not a kind person in the first place, and would never obediently suffer death for Nangong Chen.Recently, Nangong Chen hurt her so deeply, it is not impossible for her to want to kill him.

"What's the use of telling me this?"

"I don't know what it's useful for." Pu Lianyao smiled wryly, "Although I'm interested in the property of the Nangong family, I don't want my cousin to be killed by Zhu Zhu. After all, my cousin is quite pitiful."

Bai Muqing pondered for a moment, and then continued: "I still don't understand, what is the purpose of you telling me this, let me go to Nangong's house to replace Zhu Zhu and die? Or just kill Zhu Zhu first?"

"But I don't understand, Ms. Park, if you really want Nangong Chen to live, why did you help Zhu Zhu marry him in the first place? You said you believed the rumors, then you knew that I was the destined lover, and Nangong died after I died. Chen can't live, why did you create such a car accident for me?" Bai Muqing has never been able to understand this question, and she has never been able to figure out Pu Lianyao's real purpose.

Pu Lianyao was a little sluggish when she asked her, so she stared at her for a moment before saying, "I'll say it again, the car accident that year had nothing to do with me."

"It has nothing to do with you?" Bai Muqing shook her head and sneered, "Do you think I will believe it?"

"Believe it or not is up to you." Pu Lianyao took a sip of coffee and said, "I came to you today to let you know that Nangong Chen is in danger now. Believe it or not, you can decide on your own and don't send him away."

Bai Muqing stared at her for a moment, then stood up from the sofa: "Miss Pu, no matter what your purpose is today, but I advise you to take care of yourself, and don't play too much with yourself."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

Bai Muqing didn't say anything else, she turned and left the private room.
-
When Shen Ke returned home, he saw that everyone was in the restaurant, except Pu Lianyao, so he asked eagerly, "Where is Lianyao?"

Sister He hurriedly said: "Miss Pu said she was not feeling well, and she didn't want to eat yet."

The old lady spat out disdainfully: "I think your family's Lianyao is really hypocritical, she won't eat or drink for trivial things."

"What's the matter?" Although Shen Ke asked this question, he turned and walked upstairs without waiting for their answer.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Pu Lianyao sitting on the balcony in a daze, so he quickened his pace and walked over and asked with concern: "Lianyao, did grandma tell you something?"

He had a bad premonition in his heart, Pu Lianyao's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying for a long time.

Pu Lianyao quietly raised her tearful eyes, stared at him and said, "Don't blame grandma, it's all because of my uncle and aunt. They used to secretly mock me for being a cripple and not worthy of you, but now they have risen to directly warn me to leave You are farther away."

"Shen Ke, what should I do? I really don't want to leave you, but my aunt said, if I don't leave you, she will die for me. She said that even if she dies, she will not let me marry into the Shen family." Pu Lianyao As he spoke, he began to cry.

Shen Ke raised his hand to hug her into his arms, and comforted her softly: "Didn't we make an agreement before? No matter what their elders say, you are not allowed to leave me."

"But if my aunt really wants to die, I have to leave, otherwise I will be restless all my life." Pu Lianyao lay in his arms and wiped away the tears on her face with her hands.

"Don't worry, I will communicate well with my mother." Shen Ke patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.Gritting his teeth with anger on his face, he never thought that his father would actually use Pu Lianyao to coerce him, and he would act so quickly.

Pu Lianyao sniffed, retreated from his embrace and stared at him, saying, "Auntie always keeps her promise, so don't be in a hurry with her? Otherwise, we're really lost."

"Don't worry, I will tell her well." Shen Ke raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face: "Let's go, let's go down to eat."

"I do not want to eat."

Shen Ke nodded: "Then I'll serve it to you later, you should take a good rest."

After speaking, he stroked her hair again, then turned and left the bedroom.

When he walked out of the bedroom, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Shen's house. Madam Shen answered the phone and said before he could speak: "Shen Ke, if you want to talk to me about Pu Lianyao, then don't talk about it. This is a decision made by your father and me, unless Pu Lianyao's legs recover, don't even think about marrying into our family."

"mom."

Mrs. Shen didn't give him a chance to speak: "Your dad and I just hope that you can marry a normal woman and go home. After all, we will have to rely on her to take care of us when we get old. Isn't that a high request? Why don't you just be obedient?" Listen to your father and get things done for him."

Shen Ke gritted his teeth angrily: "Why are you so shameless!"

"Isn't Pu Lianyao shameless? She has a broken leg and has the face to dream of being a wealthy family. Even if she has good legs, I don't necessarily want this kind of woman!" Madam Shen said: "That's it, you should think about it yourself. Be clear."

"Mom." Shen Ke called a few times into the microphone, and hearing the beeping sound from inside, he could only put down the phone in discouragement.

When he returned to the dining table, the old lady looked up and stared at him: "What's wrong? Lian Yao won't come down to eat?"

"She said she couldn't eat." Shen Ke depressedly picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

The old lady couldn't help but said again: "Shen Ke, don't spoil her too much, you see how she has been spoiled by you, do you understand her? Do you know what she thinks in her heart? With her temperament Will you be unable to eat because of a word from others?"

"Grandma, stop nagging, hurry up and eat." The one who said this was Nangong Chen who never liked to talk too much at the dinner table.

He was worried that the old lady would miss something, so he interrupted her at the right time.

When he didn't want to expose Pu Lianyao, he naturally didn't want to let Shen Ke know everything so early.

The old lady understood what she meant, so she had to change her words: "Shen Ke, don't worry too much, just communicate with your parents, and they will agree sooner or later."

"I see." Shen Ke raised his head and glanced at the old lady and Nangong Chen, his heart was full of guilt towards them, if they knew what the two elders were thinking, they would probably go crazy.
-
After separating from Nangong Chen that day, Nangong Chen would call once a day, but Bai Muqing didn't answer every time.

Nangong Chen didn't want to annoy her, so he only called once a day.

He originally thought that Bai Muqing would definitely not answer this time, but he didn't expect that she connected suddenly, which caught him off guard for a while.

"Mu Qing. You. Are you okay?" He asked in surprise.

"Why do you ask that?" Bai Muqing was puzzled.

Nangong Chen smiled: "Because you ignored me before."

"Since you know I won't talk to you, why do you still call?"

"got used to."

I got used to it. Bai Muqing was a little moved, she took a light breath and said, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"It's okay, I just want to hear your voice and see how you are."

"I'm fine, how about you?" Bai Muqing remembered what Pu Lianyao had said to her.In fact, she also thought about calling him to say hello, but he called before it rang.

If it wasn't for Pu Lianyao looking for her, she would not have answered Nangong Chen's call, after all, she had promised Qiao Feng that she would try not to see Nangong Chen.

"It's pretty good." Nangong Chen laughed at himself: "Mu Qing, do you think that the two of us now look like a pair of unfamiliar friends, and we don't talk about other topics except greeting each other. "

"No." Bai Muqing shook her head, "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter? Figured it out?" Nangong Chen became a little happy.

"Think about what?" Bai Muqing was confused by his question.

"Have you figured it out and decided to come back to me?"

Bai Muqing opened her mouth speechlessly: "Young Master Chen..."

"Well, I knew this was impossible." The joy in Nangong Chen's tone faded: "What's the matter?"

"Let's meet each other." Bai Muqing finished speaking, and then said: "But can I ask Young Master Chen to agree to me, and let's meet for a short time? Young Master Chen, don't have any thoughts."

"Afraid that you will be unable to resist and submit to me?" Nangong Chen smiled wickedly.

"Nangong Chen, I'm telling you the truth." Bai Muqing's face turned hot.

"Okay, I'll go to the classic coffee shop near your house now."

"Okay, see you later." Bai Muqing finished speaking and hung up the phone.

10 minutes later, the two met in a classic coffee shop.Nangong Chen sized up Bai Muqing in front of him. After not seeing her for a few days, he found that he couldn't help but want to hug her again.

Thinking of the promise he had just made with her, he had no choice but to resist the desire to hug her in his heart, pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "Sit down."

Bai Muqing nodded and sat down on the sofa.

She was also looking at him carefully, and she even noticed that his stubble today was longer than before.I secretly thought, is he so busy recently?I was so busy that I didn't even have time to tidy up my beard.

"Are you busy recently?" She finally asked the concern in her heart.

"I don't think I've ever been busy, have I?" Nangong Chen smiled helplessly: "There's been a lot of trouble in the company recently, so it's normal to be a little busier than before."

"Watch rest."

"You even care about me so coldly, is that okay?"

"Let's talk about business." Bai Muqing changed her tune.

Nangong Chen nodded: "Okay, what do you want from me?"

Bai Muqing looked at him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Pu Lianyao has come to look for me."

"and then?"

"She told me that you are in danger now. Zhu Zhu already knows the truth about her destined lover, and she is trying to find a way to kill you in order to protect herself." Bai Muqing hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Did Pu Lianyao tell you Are these words?"

"No."

"No? Then I don't understand. She said that she is only interested in the Nangong family's property, and she doesn't want anything to happen to you. But if she is really for your own good, why didn't she tell you directly, but tell me. "

"How could she be nice to me?" Nangong Chen sneered.

There was a moment of silence between each other, obviously thinking about Pu Lianyao's motives, and finally Nan Gongchen said: "Mu Qing, I guess she is trying to stimulate you to attack Zhu Zhu first, and lead you to take the road of capital crime, so you Don't listen to her nonsense."

Bai Muqing was surprised: "You think so?"

"Well, although I don't know her real purpose, I can see that she has never been kind to you." Nangong Chen said soothingly: "But don't worry, I won't let her hurt you."

"Then what about you?" Bai Muqing looked at her, a little worried: "Although she didn't feel good about me, what she said was not unreasonable. At this time, Zhu Zhu must be very scared, and she will definitely find a way to escape this disaster. .And the most direct way for her to escape this catastrophe is to get you..."

Bai Muqing couldn't bear to say the latter words.

"I understand." Nangong Chen nodded: "But don't worry, I've grounded her at home, she can't do anything."

"But she is still by your side all the time, it's really too dangerous."

Nangong Chen suddenly leaned over, stared at her and asked solemnly: "If I was really killed by her, would you be very sad?"

"Nangongchen, you're not serious again." Bai Muqing gave him an annoyed look.

Nangong Chen turned back with a smile and said, "Okay, I was wrong."

Bai Muqing thought for a while, and said, "You'd better move to the apartment, stay away from those people, at least it will be safer."

"Am I alone?"

"Otherwise?" Bai Muqing teased deliberately: "Or you can bring a little lover with you, so that you won't be lonely."

"This proposal is good, but the premise is that the little lover who will accompany me to live in the apartment must be you."

"You know it's impossible." Bai Muqing turned her face away.

Nangong Chen shrugged helplessly: "Oh, it seems that you don't care much about me."

"Seriously, what exactly are you going to do?" Bai Muqing's tone was quite serious.

"Grandma insists on refusing to leave the old house. I can't leave her there alone, but I assure you, I will be fine." Nangong Chen raised his palm at her: "I still want to save my life, Snatch you back from Qiao Feng."

Bai Muqing was anxious, but Nangong Chen didn't take it seriously at all. She knew that what she said was useless, so she stood up from the sofa and said, "If this is the case, then you should be careful, I'll go back first."

"Going back now?" Nan Gongchen stood up from the sofa and held her wrist.

His palm was clasped on her wrist, and the hot feeling came through the skin, Bai Muqing's heart moved slightly, and she became a little messy in an instant.

"Sit with me again." His body came up from behind and hugged her gently.

In fact, he still likes to see her remind himself to pay attention to here and there with a worried tone, because he can feel that she really cares about him and is sincerely for his good.

"Nangongchen, I didn't drink today, don't try to seduce me." Bai Muqing was cruel, and raised her hand to push his palm off her wrist.

"Mu Qing..."

"Goodbye, Young Master Chen." Bai Muqing turned and left the coffee shop without giving him a chance to speak.
-
After returning home, Bai Muqing thought about it, but she was still worried about Nangong Chen.

At night, after hesitating for a while, Bai Muqing dialed Nangong Chen's number.

Seeing her phone call, Nangong Chen looked very happy, and he was in a good mood when he opened his mouth: "Mu Qing, have you finally figured it out?"

"What did I figure out?" Bai Muqing was a little confused.

"Stay with me in the apartment."

"I told you today it was impossible."

Nangong Chen also thought it was impossible, he was just joking.

"Then you called me for something?"

"I want to ask you to do me a favor." Bai Muqing said hesitantly.

"What are you busy with?"

"I want to see Zhu Zhu."

"What do you do when you see her? You don't want to intercede for me, do you? Or threaten her that if you dare to hurt your man, you will never end with her?" Nangong Chen became happy again as he spoke.

Every time he saw Bai Muqing worrying about him, he felt very happy.

"Do you think I have such great courage?" Bai Muqing spit out a sentence speechlessly, and changed her words: "I just want to ask her something, something between me and her."

"You can see him if you want, I will accompany you."

"No, it's inconvenient."

"What's the inconvenience?" Nangong Chen asked suspiciously: "Apart from me, what else is there between you and her?"

"Nangong Chen, don't ask, just tell me if you can help me." Bai Muqing said in a serious tone, and in order to reassure him, she immediately added: "Don't worry, she wants me now Get back together with you, so it won't hurt me."

"I think so too." Nangong Chen smiled: "Well, I'll bring her out to see you tomorrow."

"Thank you." When Bai Muqing hung up the phone, she subconsciously took a deep breath. In fact, she didn't know the meaning of meeting Zhu Zhu, but she still wanted to.

The night wind was blowing towards her face, she brushed the hair on her cheeks lightly, and when she turned around and was about to go back to the house, she realized that Qiao Feng had come out at some time.

"Ah Feng, why did you come out?" She looked at him with wet hair.

Just now she came out to call Nangong Chen while he was taking a shower in the bathroom.

"I just got out of the shower and wanted to ask where your hair dryer is, but I called a few times and got no response." Qiao Feng asked while wiping his hair with a towel.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you calling me while I was on the phone just now." Bai Muqing pushed his wheelchair and walked into the house: "I'll help you find a hair dryer to dry your hair."

Back in the house, Bai Muqing took out a hair dryer from the cabinet and helped Qiao Feng dry his hair.The blower made a whirring sound, and the two of them were silent with each other's thoughts. After helping him dry his hair, Bai Muqing tidied up the blower and said, "It's ok, let's go to bed early."

Qiao Feng raised his hand to grab her little hand, and looked at her with concern: "Mu Qing, are you still worried about Nangong Chen's safety?"

"I didn't..." Bai Muqing shook her head guiltily.

"Don't lie to me, I can tell." Qiao Feng's tone was as calm as before, but there was no trace of displeasure.

Hearing what he said, Bai Muqing had no choice but to confess: "I'm sorry, I admit that I am still very worried about him, and I don't want him to have anything to do at this critical moment, so I called him and asked him to make an appointment with Zhu Zhu for me. I want to talk to her."

"You want to see Zhu Zhu?"

"Yes, I have a lot of things I want to ask her, but I can guess that she won't tell me anything."

Qiao Feng was silent for a while, before saying: "It's fine to see Zhu Zhu, but bring her to Lvyuan Restaurant to meet, otherwise I don't feel at ease."

Seeing Bai Muqing hesitate, Qiao Feng added: "Don't worry, you can find a private room in the corner, I won't go in with you."

What he wanted was Bai Muqing's safety, not monitoring her every move.

Bai Muqing didn't refuse anymore, she smiled at him and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Is there anything I can help with?" Qiao Feng asked softly while watching her.

"If there is, I will definitely tell you." Bai Muqing said.

Qiao Feng hummed, and grabbed her little hand tightly: "Don't think so much, go to rest early."

Seeing the concern on his face, Bai Muqing couldn't help feeling guilty again.It must be difficult to endure that my wife loves another man in her heart, but she can't stop loving Nangong Chen! ——
As soon as Zhu Zhu heard Nangong Chen said that he would take her out, he immediately asked happily: "Chen, where are you taking me?"

After being imprisoned for so many days, she is almost going crazy. Boring is one aspect. The most important thing is that this kind of life is like those prisoners who have been sentenced to death and are waiting to die. live.

She was locked in the house and was watched all the time, unable to do anything, nothing.

Today, she can finally leave the house, and she finally sees hope again.

"Take you to meet someone." Nan Gongchen seemed to see through her mind: "But don't try to play tricks, I will let people keep an eye on you."

The hope that had finally surged up in her heart sank in an instant, and she lowered her head and asked resentfully, "Who are you seeing?"

"You'll know when you go, let's go." Nangong Chen took the lead and walked towards the door.

Zhu Zhu raised his eyes and glanced at Pu Lianyao who was on the dining table, and after a moment of hesitation, he quickly followed Nan Gongchen's pace.

Nangong Chen brought Zhu Zhu to the private room of Lvyuan Western Restaurant. When Zhu Zhu saw Bai Muqing in the private room, he couldn't help but tighten his heart.

What did Nan Gongchen bring her to see Zhu Zhu?Wouldn't it be to force her to apologize to Zhu Zhu or to take her with him and let Bai Muqing beat him up for revenge?still.

Before she could guess Bai Muqing's motive for looking for her, Bai Muqing had already turned around from behind the curtain, and smiled mockingly at her: "What's wrong? Seeing me so scared?"

"I'm not afraid." Zhu Zhu adjusted his mood and walked in.

Nangong Chen also entered the private room, he came to Bai Muqing's side, raised his palm to hold her hand, but stopped just before touching her, and then put it down.The enthusiasm in my heart finally turned into a short sentence: "Be careful, remember to call me if there is any situation."

"Does she have a gun?" Bai Muqing asked.

"No."

"Do you have a knife?"

"also not."

"Then what are you worried about?" Bai Muqing smiled at him, "Don't worry, even if we really fight, I might not lose."

"Even if you won't lose, it won't work if you break your skin."

"No, it won't hurt or break the skin, you should go out quickly." Bai Muqing raised her hand and pushed on his arm.

Nangong Chen looked at her, then at Zhu Zhu who was not looking well, and finally turned around and walked out.

After Nangong Chen went out, Zhu Zhu looked at Bai Muqing and said mockingly: "You got me out just to show your love to Nangong Chen in front of me?"

"Showing affection is just a small opening, Miss Zhu can't accept it like this?" Bai Muqing walked to the sofa and sat down, at the same time motioned to her, asking her to sit on the opposite sofa.

Zhu Zhu glanced at her, with obvious shame on his face: "I thought Miss Bai was such a holy and elegant woman, but it turned out that she was just a bitch wandering between two men."

"Thank you, but we are here today not to compete with others. Miss Zhu, please sit down." Bai Muqing gestured for her to sit down again. Zhu Zhu gritted her teeth, and finally went to sit opposite her, because she He also wanted to know what exactly Bai Muqing wanted to do by asking her out.

Bai Muqing looked at her sitting on pins and needles, and said with a smile: "Actually speaking, I should call you cousin, we sisters, it's a bit pathetic to make troubles like this because of a man."

"I think back then, in order to train you, my uncle and aunt worked hard to make money and sent you to a big city to learn all kinds of knowledge, so that when you grow up, you can marry a good family and take care of their elders. But now, let alone bring you They are enjoying their blessings, and even the lives of their elders are in danger. Thinking that they may lose their lives because of you, don't you feel sad? Don't you feel distressed?"

Listening to her words, Zhu Zhu's heart trembled slightly.

These are the things she thinks about the most these days. Every time she thinks that Zhu's family may follow the old path of Bai's family, she feels painful and regretful.
