C19 The Lie be Unraveled
This was a compromise.
Mu Yan Chen's cold and sinister gaze finally began to soften. He withdrew his hand and allowed her to sit by his side.
"Eat first, then I'll send you home before going to the company. You'd better think of an excuse to explain why you didn't return home last night —" Mu Yan Chen suddenly paused as he looked at her actions with a pair of cold eyes.
Her small face was as cold as water as she took a sip from his glass of milk.
A trace of coldness suddenly disappeared. Mu Yan Chen suppressed his unease and asked in a low voice, "Is there a reason?"
"Yes."
"What?"
"I told you that I went to my uncle's house for the night. That's what I used to say. " She did not look at him.
Then, he pushed the cup of milk away. Lan Xi stood up and said, "I'm full."
Mu Yan Chen frowned as he watched her eat a piece of bread that was a little more than enough, "Have some more."
Lan Xi turned around, coldly looked at him, and walked away.
Her cold and nasty temper extended from the car all the way to the luxurious Mu residence. The faint light of dawn illuminated the entire Mu residence with a hint of brilliance, just like the day he'd arrived.
Mu Ming Sheng sat on the sofa, his face as tense as plaster. Even Mo Ruqing couldn't sit still any longer as she paced back and forth in the living room. When she saw the handsome figure faintly walking over in the dazzling light of the morning sun, her heart ached and was about to go forward to greet him. However, she saw the slim girl with a cold expression behind him, causing her to tremble in fear.
"Ming Sheng, Ming Sheng!" "Lan Xi has returned!" There was joy in her voice.
Mu Mingsheng's expression immediately shook. Then, his anger grew as he held back his anger and looked up with a cold gaze.
Lan Xi wasn't confident at all. He clasped his hands behind his back and called out, "Dad!"
At this moment, her small feet were wearing a pair of silver laced heels. The tunic around her waist, along with her slim figure, made people's imaginations run wild. Fortunately, her mouth no longer tasted of alcohol, so when she came out from Mu Yan Chen's place, she specifically got him to use the fresh spray in his mouth; she probably wouldn't be able to smell it.
"Tell me, where did you go last night? Your Uncle Fu is looking for you! It's ridiculous for a girl to stay out the whole night! " Mu Mingsheng tried his best to suppress his anger, but he couldn't.
Lan Xi rubbed the phone in his pocket and said, "My phone doesn't have electricity. I don't have enough money on me, so I'll be going to Little Uncle's house."
"Try lying to me again!" With a roar, it almost flipped her head over.
Lan Xi trembled with fear, a trace of cowardice in her eyes.
The steward stood aside awkwardly, reminding her, "Miss …" I called your second uncle and uncle earlier this morning … "
Lan Xi suddenly felt as if he had struck the nail on the head.
"And let me 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 Ming Sheng's voice slowed down, and his complexion became increasingly ugly, "Do you know where the west side of the city is? Last time, you let me see you acting wantonly by the roadside. This time around, you actually went straight to that rotten and dirty place … You are simply going to anger me to death! "
If she couldn't dodge this time, she would feel even more guilty.
Lan Xi's clear eyes flashed with pain. She lowered her eyes, bit her lips, and said in a hoarse whisper, "Then, why didn't you find me last night …"
Mu Mingsheng's eyes widened. He was so angry that it seemed as if smoke was coming out from his head! With an awkward expression, he was at a loss for words.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
Lan Xi also felt that it was a bit strange. She blinked, and her confused expression revealed a trace of pity. She looked at him and then looked at the butler, "Is that not right? Then … "When did you discover that I had disappeared?"
Little by little, a bad premonition arose within her heart.
