Chapter 204 Jiang Chengyu takes the blame innocently
Jiang Chengyu sat steadily in the driver's seat of the Land Rover Range Rover, looking firmly ahead, his hands skillfully controlling the steering wheel.
The car is speeding through the traffic, and the roar of the engine seems to be telling the inner turmoil of the people in the car at this moment. The outside world is still bustling with traffic and picturesque scenery, but at this moment, all this beauty seems to have lost its color and cannot attract the attention of the people in the car.
Yan Na lowered her heavy head, her long, silky hair falling down in disarray, half covering her sad face.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, as if carrying endless humiliation and pain.
While choking up, she said, "Aunt Mu, I have never seen such an arrogant and rude person. How could he humiliate a girl like this? My parents have never spoken loudly to me since I was a child, but he was so ruthless and hurtful."
Mu Huiying comforted her, "I'm sorry, Nana. Auntie will bring Xiaoji to apologize to you."
Yan Na's tears flowed like a flood that broke through a dam, unstoppable, falling drop by drop on her clothes, instantly staining them with traces of sadness.
She bit her lips tightly, trying hard not to sob too loudly, but the suppressed cries still spilled out of her mouth intermittently.
Her eyes were empty and confused, as if the whole world had lost its color at this moment. Memories flooded into her mind like a tide, and Mu Xiaoji's cold and solemn words and deeds were like sharp blades, piercing her heart one by one.
Yan Na felt that her proud self-esteem was ruthlessly trampled upon by Mu Xiaoji without a trace of dignity left.
She covered her face with her shaking hands, trying to retain her only dignity and breathe. Her body curled up slightly, as if she was looking for a corner to hide from all the pain.
Her heart was filled with despair and helplessness, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world. The endless sadness was like a thick dark cloud, covering her, making it impossible for her to breathe or break free.
Mu Huiying looked at Yan Na distressedly, and hurriedly took out a pack of tissues from her bag, handed it to Yan Na, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Nana, Xiaoji was not like this before. He must have encountered something unpleasant at work recently, which is why he lost his temper like this. When he calms down, I will ask him to come to your house to apologize to you."
Yan Na sobbed and said in a trembling voice: "No need, Aunt Mu, I'm not stupid, he said that being with his little monster is enough."
Jiang Chengyu looked at Yan Na in the rearview mirror, his eyes full of helplessness and worry. He let out a long sigh and secretly wondered how this would end.
The car sped along the city road and soon drove into the parking space of Hongxing Community. Jiang Chengyu skillfully pulled the handbrake, and the crisp sound seemed to announce the end of a journey.
But it seemed like another unknown story had begun. After the three got off the bus, they walked straight to the elevator. The elevator door slowly opened, making a slight sound, as if reminding people of the unknown that they were about to face.
As they walked, Mu Huiying comforted her, "Nana, don't be angry. Auntie will take you home. Give Xiaoji some time to calm down. I will take him to apologize to you." After that, they came to Aunt Wang's floor upstairs.
Yan Na wiped her tears, tried to calm herself down and said, "Aunt Mu, I'm here, you can go back!" After that, she ran out of the elevator, opened the door, and slammed it shut quickly. The sound echoed in the silent corridor, as if telling of Yan Na's inner determination.
Mu Huiying was turned away before she even reached the door, feeling helpless.
Jiang Chengyu shouted, "Mom, let's go back!" Mu Huiying was burning with anger at this moment, and that anger seemed to burn everything to ashes.
She walked into the elevator, her eyes flickering with anger, disappointment, and even worry about the future.
The elevator slowly arrived at their floor. Mu Huiying grabbed Jiang Chengyu's ear. The movement was swift and powerful, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on Jiang Chengyu.
She said, "Nana is in the car, and you are driving too. I can't say much. You little brat, go home and explain to me what's going on."
Jiang Chengyu, who was innocently blamed, frowned in pain, a painful expression on his face, but he did not dare to resist and could only follow him back home.
After Mu Huiying came in, she sat on the sofa angrily. The sofa seemed to feel her anger and was shaking slightly.
She raised her voice and asked, "Tell me, what did Xiaoji sing today?"
Jiang Chengyu knelt on his knees facing Mother Mu, his posture full of helplessness and submission.
He lowered his head and muttered, "Little Guitar is blaming you for arranging a blind date for him without informing him in advance."
Mu Huiying slammed the table and asked, "Am I wrong for thinking about him?"
Jiang Chengyu lowered his head, not daring to look into his mother's eyes. He just muttered softly, "You are not wrong. It is my fault."
"Yes! What's the situation with the house? Xiaoji's words are incoherent, can't I tell there's something wrong? Can't I tell whether he can afford the house now? Why is your name only on the property certificate?"
Jiang Chengyu's face turned pale. He tried hard to recall the phone conversation between Mu Xiaoji and Cui Jiani on the way back to G City.
Then he slowly replied: "It should be Xiaoji who told Cui Jiani to do this. I only found out about the house he bought after I came back to G City."
Mu Huiying frowned and asked unhappily, "Where's your wife? No matter how busy she is, now that she's back home, she should be sensible enough to come visit me, right?"
Jiang Chengyu had a look on his face as if he had made a mistake, and he slowly replied, "I don't have a wife."
Mu Huiying was furious when she heard this. She reached out her hand and grabbed Jiang Chengyu's ear again, saying loudly, "You little bastard, you and Xiaoji haven't learned your lesson, have you? You just fool us all day long."
Jiang Chengyu's face was filled with guilt, and he whispered, "I'm sorry, Mom. We've let you down!"
Mu Huiying's eyes widened with anger. "What's the point of apologizing to me? You two should just do what you need to do."
Jiang Chengyu lowered his head slightly and whispered with a worried tone: "Mom, please don't push Xiaoji, okay? His health is very poor. If you push him again, he will die soon."
When Mu Huiying heard this, a look of horror instantly appeared on her face, and she asked anxiously: "Xiaoji, how could he...?"
Jiang Chengyu was in a very depressed mood and responded slowly: "He was tortured by the electric current and his heart and lungs were injured. Uncle Guo's condition worsened after the car accident. He can no longer withstand the pressure and emotions."
Mu Huiying's eyes instantly became moist, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Is he going to die alone like this?"
"No, mom. I will stay with him and take care of him all my life."
Mu Huiying glared at Jiang Chengyu and said, "Nonsense! Xiaoji is not in good health. You are so strong, how can you fool around with him?"
Jiang Chengyu looked desperate as he recalled, "Since I failed to commit suicide by cutting my wrists last time, I have made up my mind. As long as Xiaoji is alive and well, I will spoil him and indulge him. I will let him do whatever he wants. As long as he is well, I will obey him."
Mu Huiying listened to Jiang Chengyu's words, her heart filled with complicated emotions. She slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked Jiang Chengyu's cheek. The desperate scene of Jiang Chengyu lying in a pool of blood involuntarily emerged in her mind, and her heart was suddenly filled with mixed feelings.
Jiang Chengyu looked into Mu's mother's eyes with tears in his eyes and said, "Mom, I should go back. Xiaoji was very angry today. I am worried about his health."
Mu Huiying put down her hands helplessly, her eyes lost focus, as if she was lost in deep thought.
Jiang Chengyu slowly stood up and walked towards the door, his figure gradually disappeared at the door. Mu Huiying sat on the sofa blankly, her heart full of confusion and bewilderment, not understanding how things turned out like this.
Jiang Chengyu returned to the villa and gently opened the door. He went back to the living room and looked around anxiously, but there was no sign of Xiaoji.
A wave of worry suddenly surged in his heart, and he hurried to the bedroom, shouting nervously: "Xiao Ji... Xiao Ji..."
His eager steps were like the wind, and he reached the bedroom door in two steps. His hands trembled slightly as he pushed open the door, and he saw Mu Xiaoji leaning quietly against the mattress, holding a book in his hands, with a focused and calm expression.
Jiang Chengyu heaved a sigh of relief, and his steps stopped instantly. It was as if he had put all his nervous emotions into order in an instant.
He slowly walked to the bedside and asked softly, "Xiao Ji, are you okay? I'll get you some ice for your face." After that, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Mu Xiaoji responded calmly: "No, it will be fine tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyu stopped, turned around and looked at Mu Xiaoji, his eyes full of confusion.
He asked helplessly: "Xiaoji, you have already bought me a villa in the sea view area in Kuncheng. Why are you buying another house in G City?"
Mu Xiaoji raised his eyebrows disapprovingly and said domineeringly: "First, I can't let the person I love the most down; second, we will all work in G City in the future. Do you want to stay under your mother's nose and listen to her nagging every day?
You've come out to live together and it's like this today. If you live together, she will eat you up!" Jiang Chengyu listened to Mu Xiaoji's words, feeling relieved, but still couldn't find a clear direction.
He smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Xiao Ji, what should we do? Mother Mu will not forgive me."
Mu Xiaoji frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Chengyu's helpless appearance and said, "If this is not your fault alone, what are you afraid of?"
Jiang Chengyu sighed, slowly walked to the window, looked at the dark night outside, his heart full of confusion.
Mu Xiaoji said calmly, "You care a lot about your mother's love, right? You're worried that he won't be able to accept our relationship and will be extremely disappointed in you."
Jiang Chengyu lowered his disappointed eyes and nodded. He knew that what happened today made Mu's mother very angry, and he himself didn't know how to make up for this mistake.
He turned around and looked at Mu Xiaoji, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he was waiting for Mu Xiaoji to give him an answer.
Mu Xiaoji put down the book in his hand, sat up straight, looked at Jiang Chengyu and said, "Let's let mom calm down first. When she calms down, we can explain it to her properly."
Jiang Chengyu nodded. Although he was still worried, he knew that this was the only way at the moment.
He walked to Mu Xiaoji, sat down, and gently held Mu Xiaoji's hand, as if he found a little comfort from the warm touch.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the room. Both of them fell into silence, each thinking about what to do in the future.
