Chapter 217 Ling Xiao's Promise
Mu Xiaoqiao thought about it and asked Ruan Haoyu to talk to Zhou Mufeng first. After all, he was disturbed so early in the morning. Even if they were brothers, he still had to thank him.
After Ruan Haoyu left, only Mu Xiaoqiao and Ling Xiao were left in the ward. Qin Chu and Qi Nanfeng followed the eldest brother of the Qin family to deal with the aftermath, and Li Wei returned to the company to handle matters.
Mu Xiaoqiao pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit down."
Ling Xiao knew she had something to ask, so he sat down. Mu Xiaoqiao sat opposite him and thought for a moment before saying, "Although Mina is not my biological sister, she is better than my biological sister. So I want to know what happened during this period of time, and what you are thinking and planning now. If you don't tell me clearly, you know, I can't go back to the barracks with peace of mind."
Ling Xiao had no intention of hiding it from her, and he knew that she was telling the truth. He sighed and told her everything that had happened between him and Zhao Minna during this period.
It turned out that during the time that Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao stayed in the military camp, Zhao Minna launched a mad pursuit of Ling Xiao, and was persistent in showing her affection, with all kinds of little tricks coming up every day. The day before Mu Xiaoqiao left, she saw the two of them in the underground parking lot. It was Zhao Minna who wanted to invite Ling Xiao to see a movie and blocked him in the parking lot.
But Ling Xiao really had no intention of starting a relationship recently, so he rejected her explicitly, and he did so more than once, and his attitude was not very good.
Although Zhao Minna persevered and became more courageous as she faced more setbacks, she could not avoid feeling disappointed. So that day, she went to the Lanxin Bar alone and drank a bottle of liquor. After drinking it, she called Ling Xiao and kept crying, babbling nonsense about how long she had liked him.
Ling Xiao finally found out where she was and rushed over to take her out of the bar. Although he knew that she lived in Ruan Haoyu's house, he didn't know where Ruan Haoyu's house was. It was so late, and he didn't want to call around for fear of causing a scandal. In desperation, he took her back to his home.
Mu Xiaoqiao nodded. That made sense. This should be what Julie saw that night. So that’s how it was.
Ling Xiao was very depressed, but he couldn't ignore Zhao Minna. After taking her home, he let her sleep in his bed, while he stayed on the sofa all night.
The next day, after Zhao Minna sobered up, she felt very embarrassed, but also a little happy. She felt that she and Ling Xiao had become closer, so she pestered Ling Xiao even more fiercely.
Unable to bear it any longer, Ling Xiao found her yesterday and told her very seriously that he already had someone he liked, and hoped that she could restrain her behavior and not embarrass everyone.
When saying this, Mu Xiaoqiao could see that Ling Xiao was very regretful. He slapped himself and said painfully, "Why did I say that? If I had known it would be like this, I would never have provoked her."
Mu Xiaoqiao didn't say anything. Objectively speaking, Ling Xiao did nothing wrong. If it were her, facing someone she didn't like, she would make the same decision as Ling Xiao. But at this moment, Zhao Minna was lying lifeless on the bed, and she couldn't say this.
"So, she went to the bar again last night to drink away her sorrow?"
Ling Xiao nodded. Actually, he felt a little regretful after saying it yesterday. He knew that Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao were not at home recently. In other words, there was no one to comfort Zhao Minna, and he was a little worried. Although Zhao Minna looked like nothing had happened when she left the company, he still went to Lanxin Bar in the evening for some unknown reason.
He couldn't explain what was going on in his mind, but he probably thought that if she came to him again to drown her sorrows in alcohol and got drunk, he would be able to help her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the Lanxin Bar, he saw several men harassing Zhao Minna, who was already drunk. He hurried forward to support her. As soon as Zhao Minna saw him, she relaxed her guard and fell asleep almost immediately.
The next video was the one Mu Xiaoqiao saw. Ling Xiao finally protected Zhao Minna from leaving the bar and helped her to the parking lot. Unexpectedly, the gang left on the surface, but were actually waiting for them in the parking lot. As soon as they came down, they were kidnapped and taken to the abandoned factory in the suburbs.
Mu Xiaoqiao knew what happened next. There was a long silence in the ward. After a long while, Mu Xiaoqiao asked, "So what are your plans next?"
Ling Xiao looked at Zhao Minna on the bed and said firmly: "I will take care of her and marry her."
Mu Xiaoqiao looked over in surprise, "You...are you doing this out of sympathy?"
Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not sympathy. I always thought that I didn't like her, and even hated her, but last night, when I saw her being abused..."
He paused, then said: "She looked at me with eyes full of despair. She silently said, Ling Xiao, I am not worthy of you. At that moment, I realized that what she wanted to give me was her everything. I didn't know how to cherish such a pure and passionate feeling. At that moment, I felt so sorry for her. I felt so useless..."
He lowered his head and sobbed silently.
They say that men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet.
Mu Xiaoqiao patted his shoulder and sighed, "Don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. It's Mina's fault. She is unlucky and has a hard life."
Ling Xiao calmed down for a while before raising his head and said, "So from now on, I will use the rest of my life to make it up to her and heal her. I will always be with her and wait for her to accept me again."
When Mu Xiaoqiao came out, she felt a tightness in her chest that was difficult to release. These two people had only known each other for a little over a month, but she didn't expect this to be the ending. Ling Xiao was a reliable person, and Zhao Minna got what she wished for, but she didn't know when she could get out of this haze.
Ruan Haoyu was waiting for her at the corner. When he saw her come out, he walked up to her and held her hand. They looked at each other in silence, both feeling very heavy. Although the matter had been resolved, Zhao Minna's psychological trauma would be difficult to heal, and Li Mingshao might have to be imprisoned for a long time.
It was not until we got in the car that Ruan Haoyu said, "Qi Nanfeng called me. He said Li Mingshao told me that he was really out of money one time and wanted to ask me for money. When he arrived at the villa, I was not there, but he saw Minna and heard the servants calling her Miss Minna, so he became concerned. Later, he found out about Minna and my relationship, and began to bear a grudge. He followed Minna several times and found that she was living a comfortable life. When he compared her life with his own brother, he became more and more unbalanced, and he had the idea of destroying Minna. Last night, he deliberately went to find Minna, and Ling Xiao got involved by mistake, so he simply tied them up together and let Ling Xiao watch from the side, so that Minna would be even more miserable."
"Beasts!"
Mu Xiaoqiao gripped the armrest tightly, veins bulging on the back of her hands, showing how much strength she was using. This Li Mingshao was so hateful that she wished she could kill him to vent her hatred.
Ruan Haoyu felt even more guilty, thinking that he had not thought it through carefully enough. He always believed that Li Mingshao could not do anything wrong and never took this kid seriously. He did not expect that it would eventually lead to a disaster.
After Mu Xiaoqiao got angry, she considered Ruan Haoyu's mood and began to comfort him, "Ayu, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't put the blame on yourself. You have done your best for Li Mingshao. It is entirely his own fault that he has come to this point."
Ruan Haoyu lowered his head and clenched his fists. "Amu, I understand. I will adjust my mood, but it may take some time. I'm sorry."
"Don't say sorry to me, I understand. Go back and have a good rest. We have to rush back to the barracks early tomorrow morning. No matter what, we still have to continue working."
Ruan Haoyu nodded. Mu Xiaoqiao asked him to sit in the back while she drove. When they returned to the villa, Ruan Haoyu went to the study alone. Mu Xiaoqiao knew that he needed to be alone, so she didn't disturb him. She asked the servants to prepare some light meals and sent them to him. After eating a little, she went back to the bedroom to sleep.
After a sleepless night and dealing with so many things, Mu Xiaoqiao was extremely tired. Even though she was still worried about Ruan Haoyu, she could not resist the sleepiness and fell asleep quickly. However, she had something on her mind and could not sleep well. She tried her best to wake up, but she could not.
For the last time, she tried her best to open her eyes, thinking about getting up to see Ruan Haoyu, but she saw that he had come back without knowing when, and was lying beside her looking at her. Seeing that she woke up, he smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine, you go to sleep."
Mu Xiaoqiao felt relaxed and pulled him down to lie down. She kissed him on the lips. She was really sleepy and soon fell into deep sleep again.
