Hurry up, don't shut yourself down, Your Highness

Chapter 185 Shining Star (55)

A middle-aged woman with exquisite makeup and noble temperament walked up the stairs, stepped on high heels, raised her upper jaw slightly, and walked in the direction of Mutang.

Lan Muqin first glanced lightly at the "young man" by the door, with hatred, disdain, disdain, and contempt in his gaze.
Then, she grabbed Xi Qing's arm, dragged the girl to her side forcefully, and left without looking back.

While Xi Qing was being dragged away by the woman, she turned her head and looked at the people behind her wistfully, until the figure of the "boy" completely disappeared from her sight.

Mu Tang looked deeply at the woman's back, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

He clearly disliked and loathed her so much, yet he looked helpless and gritted his teeth,

This is... what do you want to do?
The next day.

Mu Tang was woken up by the sound of fierce quarreling.

The sky outside the window was still a little dark, the fog drifted in the air, and the fierce shouting and cursing downstairs came to my ears.

"Tonight's engagement banquet, you have to go if you want, and let me go if you don't want to!" The majestic voice of the man came through.

Immediately afterwards, the girl wept uncontrollably: "No, I won't go, I won't go."

The veins on Xi Xiaoxiao's forehead popped up, he pointed at the girl on the ground with trembling hands, and shouted: "Lan Muqin, your good daughter, you can figure it out!" Then he slammed the door angrily and left.

Lan Muqin's eyes flickered, the situation of the Xi family has not been very good in the past few years, and they have lost too much, so they can only rely on marriage to gain the support of the Ji family.

She squatted down and said softly to Xi Qing: "Hey, listen to Mom and go."

Xi Qing tightly grasped the corner of her mother's clothes, her eyes were full of pleading: "But, but I don't like that person."

However, the softness on the face of the person in front of him faded instantly, and his tone was slightly ferocious: "Whether you like it or not, you have to go."

Lan Muqin's heart was hardened, she shook off the girl's hand and turned to leave.

The quarrel downstairs suddenly stopped, and the girl's whimpering sounded faintly in her ears.

Mu Tang frowned slightly, and after arranging his clothes, he slowly opened the closed door.

In the middle of the hall downstairs, a young girl in a white dress with her hair scattered randomly was curled up on the ground, covering her face with her hands and weeping in a low voice.

"Tatatatat—" soft footsteps sounded all around.

Xi Qing raised her head slowly, and a slender black figure was reflected in her eyes. She suddenly felt her eyes heat up, and said with a strong nasal voice, "Brother."

Mutang's eyes flickered slightly, her thin lips pursed slightly, and she hummed in a low voice.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a forced smile on the frowning face of the girl in front of me: "Brother, I asked Aunt Qing to leave breakfast for you, go and eat."

Mutang felt warm in his heart, but it didn't show on his face, and said softly: "Okay."

After a pause, she added: "Get up, it's cold on the ground."

Xi Qing instantly felt her nose sore, her big teardrops couldn't be restrained, and she threw herself into the arms of the "boy" in front of her.

Mu Tang froze for a moment, his body froze slightly, his hands were at a loss, and he patted the back of the girl in his arms lightly.

It took a long time for Xi Qing to regain her strength, and slowly let go of Mutang, her eyes were red and swollen, and she sat down on the sofa silently.

At this time, the middle-aged man with a tense face just happened to walk in from the gate.

Xi Xiaoxiao first glanced quickly at Mu Tang who was standing aside, and then turned his gaze to the girl who was sitting on the sofa and calmed down.
