There was silence in the room, with only the soothing incense burning on the side floating in the air, and the comfortable fragrance slowly filled the room.
Yun Jingyu looked at the girl in front of him. She was tiny when she was just born, lying in swaddling clothes, surrounded by everyone.
Everyone had smiles on their faces and blessings in their words, but no one really cared about his feelings.
Yun Jingyu didn't know what was wrong with him. He should love this child with his own blood, but no matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he tried, he could not truly love this child.
Most of the time, what this child brings him is not happiness, but pressure.
Gradually, he began to alienate the child until she was lost. Yun Jingyu even felt a little relaxed in his heart. Although he knew in his heart that it was wrong for him to do this, he still could not control himself.
The morals and etiquette he had learned since elementary school failed to win over his own heart in the end. The self in his heart was far less glamorous than the one outside.
"No one knows the entire Yun family better than grandpa. He knows what kind of character his sister and brother are, and he also wants the children of the Yun family to continue to live an ordinary life. He has thought about everything that might happen.
In the end, you chose to hand over the Golden Thunder Order to me. Compared with his careful consideration, your reason for wanting this thing is too hasty."
After Mu Qian said these words, Yun Jingyu certainly knew that it was impossible for her to hand over the things.
After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.
"Her mother saved my life, and I made a promise before her death that I would not let that child suffer as long as I was alive."
It sounded such a noble sentence that even Mu Qian couldn't help but laugh.
"You are really a person who knows how to repay kindness." She stopped smiling and looked at Yun Jingyu's serious question, "Do you still remember who my mother is? Although my memory of her is vague.
, but I also heard many people tell me that she saved you more than once or twice, right?"
Ning Xi, who was the main team member of the Shuling Department back then, had never been a weak-tempered person. She had rescued Yun Jingyu so many times that she had probably forgotten it.
That flamboyant woman, that woman who really loved him with all her life, even if she died, she did not occupy an important position in Yun Jingyu's life, let alone the most important one.
"You don't have to use kindness as an excuse anymore. I know you love Lin Yiyi, and you know it in your heart, but so what, you are a family man. If you take care of her too openly, you will let the rumors outside spread.
, you love her and want to protect her, but at the same time you want to keep your reputation."
Mu Qian couldn't help but laugh when she said this, "You don't want to give up on fame or love. In fact, you are a complete hypocrite."
The last word seemed to touch Yun Jingyu's pain point. He put down the cup in his hand and lost his mind.
"You know nothing! How much do you know about what happened back then? What qualifications do you have to judge me without knowing the whole story?"
Mu Qian moved back and adjusted to a comfortable angle, "Really? Then I want to hear what you have to say."
"I have also tried to love you. No matter in the years when you were lost or after you came back, I convinced myself to love you, but I couldn't. Every time I see you, my heart feels like a needle pricking my heart.
Just the same, the dense pain reminds me of what I have lost." Yun Jingyu said this very calmly.
He has never calmly accepted the existence of this daughter. Children should be born from people who love each other. It represents the continuation of blood and the continuation of love.
But Mu Qian's existence made him lose his love. How could he love this child?
"I admit that I am not a good father or a good husband, but who caused this? I have never loved your mother. Besides, we had an agreement before we got married. As long as she gives you a sound home, there will be no relationship between us.
There won’t be any feelings, that’s all.”
So even after so many years, he still thinks that he just kept the promise he made back then and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Emotions are two-way. It's not a mistake that you don't love her, but you have forgotten that she cannot give birth to the child by herself. The most shameful thing is that you flaunt yourself as a victim and treat her cruelly.
Put it on the perpetrator's pillar of shame so that you can have a reason to ignore your biological daughter in a reasonable way, am I right?"
Although what happened back then was covered up by Ning Jingsheng, Nan Su proved it with all her strength. She was with Ning Xi throughout the entire dinner party for Ning Xi's birthday.
The banquet dispersed, and only a few of their close friends were left. Nan Su helped and Yun Jinghang send away the last wave of guests, and they couldn't resist Ning Jingsheng's invitation, so they planned to stay at Ning's house.
There were not many people staying overnight, including Nan Su and Yun Jinghang, Yun Jingyu and Lin Yiyi, and Zhong Yuanzhi who could not be driven away no matter how hard he tried.
This group of people usually had the best time, and of course they stayed and drank a lot in the end.
The Ning family's house is three small four-story houses connected together, and they live in the annex building next to it.
But the next morning, Yun Jingyu, who was supposed to live in the annex building, went to Ning Xi's room inexplicably, and the two of them were lying on the same bed.
The first people to discover it were Lin Yiyi and Zhong Yuanzhi, and Yun Jinghang and Nan Su who came later were also shocked, but they all had a tacit understanding to cover up the matter.
We are all adults, so these things are not incomprehensible. Soon no one mentioned this matter again, but just when it was about to be gradually forgotten.
A month later, Ning Xi found out that she was pregnant.
She didn't want to abort the child, and Ning Jingsheng didn't want his sister to be wronged, so he took it upon himself to find the old man of the Yun family.
Ning Jingsheng was always proud and would never bow his head. He was able to come to the door in person. Of course, Yun Han was given enough face and decided to get married immediately.
This news was undoubtedly a shock to Yun Jingyu, but the old man had already let it out, so he had to obey.
"It's been so many years, what do you want to say now? Do you want to ask me if I love her? This question has no meaning anymore." Yun Jingyu looked at her.
Mu Qian shook his head and denied, "It has been so many years? But you have never let go in your heart. There were rumors that my mother drugged you in order to get you, and that was how you achieved this.
There was a marriage, but no one knows the truth better than you yourself. Were you really drugged? Or was it an excuse for yourself to be drunk and lack of concentration?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Yun Jingyu stood up suddenly, "How much do you know about what happened back then, and you can make such assumptions?"
"It's meaningless to delve deeper into the truth. Since you can't care about my daughter, of course I don't have to care about your feelings. I won't give you things, and I won't let Shulingchu release people. She does it
If you do something wrong, you should be punished. This is the path she chose." Mu Qian expressed her attitude.
"I must save her." Yun Jingyu did not give in at all.
This was his promise to Lin Yiyi that he would keep the child no matter what.
"So we have nothing to talk about." Mu Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
Yun Jingyu stepped forward and stopped the person, "I know you are Hong Zhi."
"What do you want to say?" Mu Qian waited for his next words.
"Save her."
Mu Qian understood what he meant in an instant, "If I don't save her, are you going to send me to the place where the spirit is bound?"
"Xiao Yi knows your identity, and he also said that as long as you are willing to be used by him, you can do whatever you want." Yun Jingyu said.
So the meaning was clear enough, and he asked Mu Qian to ask Xiao Yi to release the person as someone who could negotiate conditions with Xiao Yi.
Mu Qian smiled instead of getting angry, "I said, save the person you want yourself. You keep saying you love her. Since you couldn't keep her mother back then, then you should find a way to save her daughter and let her
Let me see how much love is in your mouth!"
After saying this with an expressionless face, she opened the door and walked out. Yun Jingyu stared at her behind her with a frustrated expression.
Her temperament is really like Ning Xi's. She becomes strong when she is strong and weak when she is weak.
Seeing Mu Qian coming out, Mo Yun surrounded him with some worry.
She could guess that the conversation between the second lady and the second gentleman would not be pleasant.
I didn't expect it to be so unpleasant.
"Second Miss, Mr. Chi asked Heng Li to bring this to you when he left." Mo Yun said and handed over the things in his hands.
Mu Qian could see clearly that it was a light pink hand warmer.
"Mr. Chi also said that you don't have to worry about anything, don't have to be aggrieved, and don't be sad."
As smart as Chi Si, he could certainly guess how things in the Yun family would develop next. The first person Yun Jingyu wanted to interview would definitely be Mu Qian.
Now the key to whether Zhong Limo can be released lies with Mu Qian.
"Mind your own business." Mu Qian snorted, but she held the hand warmer tightly in her hands.
"And this." Mo Yun smiled and handed over a beautifully packaged candy, "I don't know where Mr. Chi found these weird candies. They are really pretty."
"He's interested." Mu Qian raised her hand and took it.
Mo Yun laughed out loud when he saw this. The second young lady had such a temper. She obviously liked her very much, but she had to pretend to be indifferent. She was really tough-talking.
"Let's go back first. It's going to snow heavily. Don't catch a cold." Mo Yun pulled the person forward.
The man standing in the pavilion not far away could clearly see the interaction between the two.
"It seems like we don't need to comfort you anymore." Yun Zaichun laughed out loud.
Now she has someone who cares about her feelings anytime and anywhere. Compared to them, Chi Si can really take good care of Mu Qian.
In this case, he can safely hand over his silly sister.
"Then shall we go see Mr. Second?" Fang Qi asked immediately.
Judging from the second lady's expression just now, I guess she and the second gentleman had absolutely nothing to talk about. It was also because the second lady's relationship with him was not very deep, so she would not be hurt.
"No need. Second uncle is actually very stubborn. He believes in what he believes in. It is difficult for others to change, so there is no need to go over and ask for trouble."
Ever since this incident happened, Yun Zaichun never thought of trying to persuade Yun Jingyu. He knew his second uncle's character too well.
If he could really figure it out, his relationship with Mu Qian would not be like this.
Therefore, looking for Yun Jingyu has no effect. It will only intensify the conflicts and will not play any role in resolving these matters.
"Then what should we do now?" Fang Qi asked.
Yun Zaichun turned around. Because he was still injured, he walked slowly and steadily.
"Get the car ready, let's go meet another person."
Fang Qi raised his hand and put his coat on Yun Zaichun's shoulders, and helped him down the steps.
The sparse snowflakes in the sky began to fly and fall. Yun Yuwei was standing not far away. She originally wanted to step forward to stop him, but she stopped after taking two steps.
There must be a solution to this matter. The people who know Shu Ling Chu the best now are Yun Zaichun and Mu Qian. Yun Zaichun once worked under Xiao Yi.
It is much better for the elder brother to do this than for her to do it.
"Grandpa, your spirit in heaven must protect Qianqian and his second uncle." Yun Yu slightly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
Stop making trouble over irrelevant people.
Mu Qian returned to Tingyu Pavilion and lay back on the sofa, staring at the bright crystal lamp above her head, her eyes a little blurry.
The last thing Mu Qian did before leaving was that she hoped she could relieve her father's heartache.
Through observing and getting along with each other during these days, she knew that Yun Jingyu's life was not happy, but the only thing was that he might really love Zhong Limo as if he were his own daughter.
Yun Jingyu's obsession for so many years was that he married Ning Xi. However, there are different opinions about what happened back then. Even the opinions of people as close as Nan Su cannot be completely tenable.
If it weren't for Ning Xi being pregnant, she wouldn't have married Yun Jingyu. Yun Jingyu blamed all the pregnancy on Ning Xi.
The top priority is to find out whether Ning Xi really took the drug back then.
Combined with what Nan Su said, she remembered another person.
Zhong Yuanzhi, Zhong Yuanzhi is also a pivotal figure in their story.
If Nan Su's words would be subjective because she didn't like Lin Yiyi, then she also had to listen to Zhong Yuanzhi's words.
However, the Zhong family is now in a state of turmoil because of Zhong Limo's incident, so they need help from Zhong Yuanzhi.
Mu Qian raised her hand, and a green bronze mirror floated in her palm with a green light.
"How could I forget this thing?" She laughed out loud.
With this thought, Mu Qian threw the pillow in her hand and stood up.
As soon as Mo Yun boiled brown sugar water and delivered it, he saw Mu Qian hurriedly going out.
"Second Miss, where are you going?"
"You don't have to wait for me, I'll go find Chi Si."
Mo Yun glanced at the brown sugar water in his hand and said, "Run slowly."
I just came back, why are you in such a hurry?
"It seems that the second lady really likes Mr. Chi..."
Girls can only be so happy when they run towards the person they like.
