"Ming Sheng, Ming Sheng! It's Lan Xi who returned!" Her tone carried joy.
Mu Mingsheng's expression suddenly changed, and then he was angry. He held his breath and looked up coldly.
Lan Xi was actually lacking in confidence. With his hands clasped behind his back, he called out, "Daddy."
At this moment, she was stepping on a pair of silver laces and high-heeled shoes. The tight windbreaker set off her slim figure, which made people's imagination run wild. Fortunately, there was no alcohol in her mouth. When she came out of Mu Danchen's place, she specially asked him to use a fresh spray in his mouth, so she couldn't smell it.
"Tell me, where did you go last night? Your Uncle Fu is looking for you! It's absurd that a girl didn't come back all night!" Mu Mingsheng tried to suppress his anger, but he still didn't suppress it.
Lanxi touched her cell phone in her pocket and came up with a thought. "My cell phone has no electricity and I don't have enough money on me. I'm going to the nearest uncle's house."
"Why don't you try lying again!!" An explosive roar nearly turned her head upside down.
Lanxi trembled in fear, a hint of fear in his eyes.
The housekeeper was embarrassed and reminded her in a good voice, "Miss... I have called your uncle this morning..."
Lan Xi immediately felt as if he had collided with the gun.
"And I tell you, your Uncle Yang told me that he saw a girl who looked like you in the west of the city last night." Mu Mingsheng's voice slowed down, but his face was getting worse and worse. "Do you know where the west of the city is? Last time you let me see you on the roadside, but this time you let me see you go straight to that dirty place... You are going to make me angry!!"
This time, she couldn't hide, and she was even more guilty.
A trace of pain flashed through Lanxi's clear eyes. She looked down and whispered in a hoarse voice, biting her lips, "Then, why didn't you find me last night..."
Mu Mingsheng opened his eyes wide, and he was so angry that his head was smoking! He looked embarrassed and could not speak.
The atmosphere became a little strange in an instant.
Lanxi also felt a bit strange. She blinked her eyes, and a hint of pity could be seen from her confused expression. She looked at him and then at the butler, "Is there something wrong? Then... when did you all find out that I didn't see you?"
Bit by bit, she began to have a bad feeling.
###Chapter20,Don't Fight Her As Little
The butler's face suddenly became a little awkward, and his eyes could not avoid her eyes.
She looked pale and thought for a moment. A hint of sadness flashed across her eyes. She smiled and said, "Did... did you find out that I'm not in the room when I didn't come down to have breakfast in the morning?"
She had two hands on her back, which made her look rather playful. However, her slender figure with the light on her back was filled with utter disappointment and loneliness.
There was a dead silence in the living room.
Lan Xi suddenly wanted to laugh.
She felt that she was the one being absurd. Her heart was in her mouth and she was thinking nervously about how to keep her lie from others. She was not ignorant. When she grew up, she knew how to take responsibility for herself and not make trouble. She was just a little crazy when she was unhappy and did not want to say it. Her parents would worry about her if she did not want to say it.
But now, it seemed that she was redundant.
Her pale face was devoid of expression. She ignored them and walked up the stairs.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Mu Yichen who had been sitting quietly on the sofa since he came in. His metal sleeve was shining under the sun, and his handsome eyes were full of a cold aura that made people dare not look directly at him. At this moment, he leaned on the left side with a little laziness, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.
Lan Xi felt a stab in his heart! The pain was extremely great.
"Stop right there!!" Mu Mingsheng opened his mouth, but his anger still existed. "Do you want to just let this matter go?!"
Lan Xi's small face was ice cold. She turned around and said, "What else? What do you want, Dad?"
Mu Mingsheng was furious again.
"From now on, you have to review your lessons at home. You can't go anywhere!" First, she was grounded.
"No!" She refused coldly.
"Then go to apply for tutoring classes and have Chen Chen pick you up and send you every day. I'm relieved!"
"I don't want it!"
"Try to say 'no' again!" Mu Mingsheng was so angry that he poked his crutch on the down carpet. He pointed at her and trembled slightly. "Look at yourself. You are also my child. I have been living abroad alone for more than ten years and you have never been troubled by Aunt Mo! What about you? You are simply uneducated!!"
Uncultured.
These words were like steel bars that pierced into her heart, leaving her flesh and blood in a mess.
Lan Xi's clear eyes seemed to drip out water. She bit her lips and fiercely retorted, "Don't compare me to him! My mother was born openly as your wife, unlike you who stole something fishy from me. Who do you think isn't well educated?!"
His words made Mo Ruqing's face suddenly turn pale!
Mu Yichen was sitting quietly on the sofa. As he slowly opened his deep eyes, a cold light flashed.
"You...you..." Mu Ming was extremely angry. He suddenly wiped the side of her face with his crutch. "Bang!" He fell out, and the broken vase debris splashed her. She screamed and shrank her shoulders, and she was so painful that she trembled.
The sharp vase brushed past her face, and a trace of scarlet blood oozed out.
Mu Ming was so angry that he raised his palm to her furiously. The fierce palm wind was about to hit her in the face!
Lan Xi endured so much that he almost bit his own mouth to bleed.
However, a big palm suddenly reached out and stopped Mu Mingsheng's hand. It clenched tightly and stopped him!
Mu Yichen came to her at some point, his deep eyes flickering.
His posture was tall and straight, and his aura was strong and cold. He looked down at Mu Mingsheng, calm and steady.
"She is still young." His cold eyes were red at the moment, but his voice was still mellow and calm. "Don't solve the problem like this."
###Chapter21,The Palm in Dream
The powerful force made Mu Mingsheng, who had been a dominator in the business industry for decades, feel that he could not stand it. He was shocked. His old eyes gradually faded away, and his anger also weakened. For his guilty son, he had no temper.
Mu Mingsheng stared at Lan Xi with angry eyes. He frowned and took a few deep breaths. Only then did he slowly let go of his raised old hand.
"I won't teach you a lesson today. Remember, don't talk nonsense like that in the future!" A deep, ringing voice warned coldly.
Especially when Mo Ruqing was present.
Lan Xi's small and clear face was still pale. His eyes were slightly opened, ice-cold and stupefied, extremely lifeless.
"Fu, clean up this place and take her upstairs!" Mu Mingsheng frowned and ordered in a vigorous voice.
The soft bed was surrounded by a slender figure.
The maid came over and knocked on the door. "Miss Mu, let's go and eat. Old Master has called us several times."
"I'm not hungry."
"Miss, please let us go in and bandage your wound," the servant kindly begged.
"Can't I keep them for fun?" She frowned and answered him angrily.
The servants shouted for the same result several times, so they had to give up leaving and went downstairs to report.
Lan Xi was lying on her back on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a trace of pain in her watery eyes. When she recalled the scene from just now, she felt a burning pain in her heart. She closed her eyes and tilted her small face as she recalled the painful and humiliating scene. A blurry and clear figure appeared in her mind.
Just now, in a split second, she suddenly stood in front of the man who helped her to block the man who hurt her.
He had a sharp side face, sharp and angular, as cold as ice, and his every movement was full of endless amorousness. She thought of too many details, including his straight posture, his casual sitting posture, all kinds of expressions, indifference, danger, relaxation... No matter what kind of person he was, he was irresistible.
"If you call me again, I'll fight you..." The phone suddenly rang, causing Lan Xi's entire body to break out in cold sweat.
On the phone, Ji Yao's voice was still loud and clear.
"Are you okay after you went home last night? Can you come to camp on Saturday?"
"I can't come..." Her voice sounded a little pitiful.
"Ah? Your father is very angry?"
"That's right."
"That's not surprising." Ji Yao said disdainfully. "You were actually drunk to such an extent yesterday!"
Lan Xi's small brows twisted. Biting his lips, he propped up his body with his elbows. "What kind of behavior am I?"
"You're so fierce! Don't you know that? You're holding a peerlessly powerful siege and crying so hard that I almost spit out blood! But Lanxi, who is he to you? Is he really your family?"
Lan Xi raised his head and inhaled. His little face was so red that it was about to explode. She only knew that she was humiliated. She never imagined that it would be this shameful.
"... My brother." It was the first time that he called her like this. It was awkward.
"Ah?!" This time, it was Ji Yao's turn to be shocked.
Lan Xi's small face was pale. He waved his hand weakly and said, "I won't explain anymore. It's a long story. You guys can go on Saturday. Have fun."
In a daze, she hung up the phone. Then, she leaned back against the bed and curled up.
She couldn't imagine how she was crying in Mu Yichen's arms, but she didn't understand. She didn't understand why this man was sometimes dangerous and strong enough to hate him to death, and sometimes strangely felt that he was really doing good for her.
The more Lan Xi thought about it, the more he felt a headache.
Her head was a little groggy. She grabbed the sheets with her little hand and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, she felt more and more uncomfortable, as if her whole body was about to be burned. Her sweat soaked her whole body. She couldn't sleep and turned around while tossing and turning. She felt a warm body enveloping her. A big hand lifted her bangs to feel the temperature of her forehead, and she called her name softly in her ear.
She... was not awake.
###Chapter22,To Keep Some Reason
"The doctor said that she had a high fever caused by inflammation, and asked her if her face was injured. Why didn't she dress it up?" Gu Ziyao came over from the other side of the long corridor, frowned and said, handed the prescription to Mu Yichen, and said, "Fortunately, I've retired now."
Mu Yichen moved the phone away from his ear and glanced at the list, but he didn't take it.
