Mu Zi's movement down the stairs stalled.
After a pause of about two seconds, she walked down with a normal demeanor and said lightly, "Oh, didn't I eat pretzel shrimp yesterday, somehow I felt itchy on my body after I ate it, and I reached out and scratched a few times, and it became like this ..."
Bai Wei did not suspect, but was very self-condemning, "It must be an allergy, next time mom will not do shrimp."
Mu Zi pulled the corner of her mouth and forced a smile, "It's okay ..."
Bai Wei, however, is very distressed, let Mu Zi sit down to rest, and took the clothes basket from the hand to send to the laundry room.
As soon as Bai Wei left, Mu Zi's entire body jumped up from the sofa and quickly scurried into the bathroom on the first floor!
--In the mirror, she saw faint dark red bruises on her neck, not one, not two, but in clusters!
Ha!
Swarms?
She should really "thank" Murong Cheng for making these marks so large and connected that they look far from hickeys! Otherwise, even if she had a hundred mouths, she wouldn't be able to explain!
Mu Zi gripped the edge of the ceramic sink with both hands and inhaled deeply to calm her anger.
Sooner or later, Murong Cheng would get her killed.
...
Bai Wei came back from the laundry room, changed her clothes and got ready to go out, saying that she had to make a trip to the bank to run some errands.
Murong Cheng was nowhere to be seen, she didn't know her son had come back at night.
Even Mu Zi felt surprised, running back at night and leaving early in the morning, what did this person want to do?
Could it be that Baba rushed back last night just to question her about meeting with Mu Zenin?
Mu Zi was even more disgusted with him.
After Bai Wei left, Mu Zi was the only one left at home.
Mu Zi wanted to log on to her email and check the files she had copied from her laptop, but because of what Mu Rong Cheng had done, she was too restless to calm down.
The robins outside the house chirped and sang, sounding hoarse because their lives had come to an end.
Mu Zi felt harsh to the ears and became more and more irritated.
She poured herself a cup of cool water and drank it while thinking about Murong Cheng.
She wasn't really naive and ignorant, although she had never experienced a love affair, but what Murong Cheng had in mind for her was so blunt and crude that even a fool could see it.
What is this considered by him? --love? Mu Zi was not convinced.
She thought that perhaps it was because her reborn self was very different from his sister and thus aroused his interest.
Interest gives birth to like, like after is possession, just like walking on the roadside to see a flower bloom well, feel interesting on the pick down, hold in the hand to play for a moment, will be randomly discarded.
Picking flowers all depends on the mood, discarded without reason.
Mu Zi seems to see her own future - either to be found out that she and her brother are having an affair, and from then on, her reputation will be ruined and she will be looked down upon; or she will be abandoned by Murong Cheng when she is tired of playing with her, and she will have no dignity to speak of.
Mu Zi's face paled as she thought of the horrors.
She couldn't accept it!
It would be good if she could live in school after the start of the school year, so that she could avoid him ...
But would Murong Cheng let her go? That kind of person ... won't stop until he gets his hands on her, and if he's pushed him, maybe he'll really go public with the relationship, like a throwaway son pursuing a star model, making it known and boisterous.
Mu Zi didn't want that!
The knock on the door sounded abruptly and Mu Zi was startled.
She was now in a cup and a snake, any stirring of grass or wood would remind her of Murong Cheng.
But Murong Cheng wouldn't knock on the door, he was a robber, a bandit, where he wanted to go, he would break in without the owner's consent.
Mu Zi opened the door.
Qiao Jingjia stood outside with a seemingly cordial, but actually condescending smile on her face.
"Hello, can we talk?"
Qiao Jingjia was here for Mu Ling's matter.
She had just been promoted to prosecutor and should have been very busy, but in order to win the favor of Mu's family, she took the initiative to take on this matter.
It was a small case that could be easily solved without any hassle, but also make Mu Rongxuan's heart grateful, Qiao Jingjia felt that the value for money was quite high.
Mu Zi saw disdain in Qiao Jingjia's eyes.
Qiao Jingjia must have thought that she was just a little girl, clueless and gullible, very easy to get rid of.
Mu Zi hooked the corners of her lips into a faint smile, unimpressed.
She guided Qiao Jingjia to the living room to sit.
When Qiao Jingjia saw the feeding box behind the sofa, she was first stunned, and then she was shocked when she realized the large python inside! Her face swished white!
"This ... this is fake, right?" Qiao Jingjia muttered.
Mu Zi laughed in a rare mischievous way, "It's alive."
Qiao Jingjia inhaled.
There was no woman who wasn't afraid of snakes, especially such an amazing python.
Qiao Jingjia made a point of looking at the glass door of the feeding box to make sure it was closed before she slowly calmed down, only to sit on the sofa still somewhat on pins and needles.
Mu Zi didn't think that raising a snake at home would be this wonderful, and she couldn't help but change her mind about Sis for a few moments.
"Did you raise it? It's not uncommon for girls to be afraid of these types of creatures." Qiao Jingjia asked, opening her mouth to sort of start this conversation.
Mu Zi sat on the single sofa to the side of the coffee table, keeping some distance from her, and shook her head back, "It was given to me by Mu Ling. When I was young, Mrs. Mu once held a banquet, and Mu Ling stuffed the snake into my skirt, scaring me so much that I peed my pants in front of many guests, losing Mrs. Mu's face, and Mu Ling, fearing that she would be blamed by Mrs. Mu, said that it was a gift to me and forced me to keep it."
Qiao Jingjia originally came to make peace for Mu Ling, as Mu Zi rehashed old scores like this, she in turn didn't know how to take it.
Qiao Jingjia smiled sardonically, "I didn't realize that Mu Ling had been so naughty ... since she was a child."
Mu Zi laughed a little and didn't chime in.
It was estimated that Qiao Jingjia's next sentence would be to say that Mu Ling was also naughty for pushing her.
"Her character is always fussy, and she doesn't have a light hand... You must have been terrified when she caused you to fall into the water that day, right?" Qiao Jingjia's gaze was gentle, as if full of concern.
As expected, Qiao Jingjia implied in her words that it was an accident.
"Yeah, I thought for sure I would drown, but luckily I'm fine, and I was even blessed by the accident and was able to go to school in Gerry." Mu Zi's bright eyes narrowed slightly as she softly said, "I should thank Mu Ling."
Qiao Jingjia heard, face difficult, "Zi Zi, I discussed with your big brother, this time you accidentally fell into the water, the hospital's expenses are borne by your big brother in full, and then another 150,000 to you, is considered to be the spiritual indemnity, you still have any requirements can be mentioned, but to go to Gerry to study ... I'm afraid it is not possible. "
One hundred and fifty thousand, really take her as a call girl to send.
In fact even this one hundred and fifty thousand, Mu Rongxuan is not willing to give! If he is not worried that Mu Zi will talk nonsense outside, he is even ready to let Mu Ling apologize for the matter. The one hundred and fifty thousand dollars was an attempt to seal Mu Zi's mouth.
"Oh ...," Mu Zi slowly answered and said, "So Auntie Qiao is here to return the favor."
Qiao Jingjia's face sank slightly, a little displeased.
She had specifically come to do mediation work, but was spoken of by Mu Zi as if she was haggling in a food market, it was too hard to hear.
In the end, she was a wild child carried from outside, lacking in upbringing and insatiable!
Disgust arose in Qiao Jingjia's heart.
If she wanted to marry into the Mu family, she would inevitably need the support of the Mu family, but Mu Zi was only an adopted daughter, and there was no need for her to curry favor with an adopted daughter.
Thinking like this, Qiao Jingjia's face turned completely cold, "Zi Zi, you're young, I'm afraid you don't understand that there is a big difference between the sentencing of negligent injury and intentional injury, and for negligent crimes, one must cause serious injury before being held criminally liable, but you were not injured in any way, and Mu Ling has the intention of mediation, such a matter would not be allowed to be filed in any judicial institution. "
She said very clearly, will not file a case.
In front of Mu Zi there are only two ways: either, mute ate Huang Lian self-admitted bad luck; either, take away 150,000 obediently shut up.
