C87 He Had to Get Her Heart

In the huge dining room, Xiao Zheng was sitting on the main seat of the long crystal table. Naturally, she was sitting next to Xiao Qinghan, and opposite them were Xiao Longtian, Liu Li, Xiao Mei, and the rest of the important members of the Xiao family.

"Today is just a regular family dinner. By the way, there's one thing I want to mention. Next week is my sixtieth birthday, and at the birthday banquet, the Xiao's will be promoting the collaboration of some projects between the Xiao's and a few foreign companies..." After saying some professional terms, Xiao Zheng turned around and looked at Xiao Qinghan." Qinghan, what do you think?"

Xiao Qinghan only nodded coldly.

"Dad!" Liu Li called out unhappily. "No matter what, Tian is still a member of the Xiao family. Why don't you ask for Tian's opinion?"

"Mom, it's fine as long as we listen to Qinghan. I have no objection." Xiao Longtian, who had been silent all this time, spoke. His tone seemed to be respectful to Xiao Qinghan, but the light in his eyes revealed his dissatisfaction.

After saying that, she looked up and took a glance at Ling Muxue, who had been eating with her head lowered. When Ling Muxue looked up, she happened to meet that pair of strange eyes and lowered her head. She felt a lot of strange gazes staring in her direction and it made her feel uncomfortable.

"It's been three years since we last met, and Miss Ling is getting more and more beautiful." One of the family members suddenly praised.

"Muxue has indeed become more beautiful than before. "Xiao Longtian immediately agreed. He did not call Ling Muxue sister-in-law. In fact, he was also a few years older than Ling Muxue. What was strange was that even though he was one year older than Xiao Qinghan, Xiao Qinghan was still the eldest grandson of the Xiao family.

This could only mean that Liu Li was Xiao Qinghan's father's mistress outside, and that Xiao Qinghan's parents had died in an accident, so Xiao Li was taking them and their mother back to the Xiao family.

Ling Muxue listened to something that kept on praising her, but she just lowered her head and did not say anything. She felt a little awkward and uncomfortable. She sat here like a complete stranger.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Xiao Qinghan slammed the wine glass down heavily. The entire table trembled and the wine from the glass splashed onto Ling Muxue's arm.

Ling Muxue's body suddenly trembled and she turned her head to look at him. His face was so dark that it was terrifying. The temperature of the entire restaurant seemed to have dropped by a few degrees. His eyes were so cold that they could kill. Everyone's heart trembled. They looked at Xiao Qinghan and did not dare to say a word.

Ling Muxue looked at his cold face and sneered in her heart. He really could not stand to hear her say anything good about him. In his heart, she was just a slut who deserved to be spurned by tens of thousands of people.

Only Xiao Mei was not afraid of death as she said frivolously, "How can a vixen not be beautiful? Brother Shaochen was so infatuated with him back then. He got into a car accident, and after he left, he quickly got into his brother's bed. It's really cheap. We have to be careful. Who knows, maybe one day, the fox demon will haunt us. When the time comes, we won't even be able to die ..."

"Enough!" Xiao Zheng shouted angrily. "Even eating won't shut your mouth!"

"Grandfather, how can you say that to me?" Xiao Mei said to Xiao Zheng in dissatisfaction. Why did her grandfather, who usually doted on her, shout at him?

Ling Muxue suddenly stood up and looked at Xiao Zheng. She and Xiao Qinghan had already gotten the marriage certificate, which was also an indisputable fact. Even if Xiao Zheng did not want to see her, he should still call him grandpa.

However, she seemed to have never heard Xiao Qinghan call him grandpa.

"Grandpa, I..."

Before he could finish, he heard a voice as cold as ice, "Sit down!"

Ling Muxue looked down at Xiao Qinghan. Did he bring her here today just to see her being humiliated?

"I told you to sit down!" Xiao Qinghan shouted again.

Xiao Mei said unhappily, "Brother, since she wants to leave, you should let her go, so as not to ..."

"Xiao Mei! You go upstairs for me!" Xiao Zheng shouted.

Xiao Mei was about to say something, but Xiao Zheng angrily interrupted, "Go upstairs immediately!"

Xiao Mei shouted angrily. She glared at Ling Muxue fiercely before turning around and rushing up the stairs.

"Qinghan, don't take offense. Xiaomei is just spoiled by me. I will teach her well when I come down." Xiao Zheng was apologizing to Xiao Qinghan, but he did not say anything to Ling Muxue.

Because Xiao Zheng had never put her in his eyes before.

After the meal, the atmosphere of the table became cold and depressing. The family dinner was not harmonious at all.

Xiao Qinghan and Ling Muxue were supposed to stay here tonight. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qinghan agreed. Ling Muxue had no choice but to stay here with Xiao Qinghan tonight.

After dinner, the maid brought Ling Muxue to the guest room that was arranged for her, and Xiao Qinghan was called to the study by Xiao Zheng.

Before he went to Xiao Zheng's study room, Xiao Qinghan warned Ling Muxue not to step out of the room for even half a step and told her to wait for him in the room.

Ling Muxue sat on the sofa in the room and sighed. She looked around the room. It was really easy for her to be alone, but it was only temporary.

The 60th birthday banquet next week was a public birthday banquet. Xiao Qinghan would definitely not bring her along, which was exactly what she wanted.

In the past three years, he had not announced the news of his marriage to the public. This made many women fantasize about it. They had been secretly married to him for three years, but they really did not know when he would divorce her.

Thinking about it, she walked to the balcony out of boredom and looked at the endless darkness. There was an indescribable peace in her heart, perhaps it was just resonating with the darkness.

Suddenly, she heard a miserable scream. Ling Muxue was shocked. She looked down and saw a light on the pavilion suddenly disappear.

The screams continued, but she did not see anyone walking over.

Ling Muxue quickly left the room, went downstairs, and walked to the pavilion. Under the dim light, she could see that the back leg of a white fat cat had been stabbed by the glass, and its white fur was dyed red with blood.

Ling Muxue looked at it and felt her heart ache. She loved small animals the most. When she saw such a cute furry thing, she was overjoyed. Now that she saw the fat cat injured, her heart naturally ached.

She quickly walked forward, picked up the little cat, and sat in the pavilion.

"Little Mao Mao, why did you accidentally injure yourself?" She looked at the fat cat's injured leg and saw that a piece of glass had been inserted into its hind leg.

"Screech..." The fat cat whined.

Ling Muxue wanted to pull it out but she was afraid that it would bleed if she pulled it out directly. Just as she was at a loss as to what to do, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.

"Muxue!"

When Ling Muxue looked up, she saw that Xiao Longtian was walking towards her from the small path. At this moment, he had already changed into a black suit. His short hair was neatly combed. He looked handsome and masculine.

"What a coincidence, Muxue. Did you come out for a walk too?" He asked her with a smile. As he spoke, he had already walked up to Ling Muxue's side and looked at her with an indescribable longing in his eyes.

"No, I just saw that a kitten was injured, so I came to take a look." Ling Muxue looked at her and smiled politely.

As Xiao Longtian looked at her charming smile, he could no longer control his heartbeat. Tonight, she had been staring at Ling Muxue, and he had seen every expression on her face.

He had to admit that Xiao Qinghan's face had the ability to make all women go crazy. Even he would be jealous, but when he saw her cold relationship with Xiao Qinghan and the hatred in Ling Muxue's eyes when she looked at him, he knew that Ling Muxue definitely did not like Xiao Qinghan. Even though the two of them had already collected the marriage certificate, no one outside knew.
