Mu Ning Jing stumbled back a few steps, her calf hitting the corner of the coffee table. Ignoring the pain, she looked at Ju Qiulan and said, "You said that as long as I don't get together with Tingxi within a year and don't agree to marry him, you'll allow me to be with him. Are you going back on your word?"
Ju Qiulan's chest heaved violently at Mu Ning Jing's words. She actually dared to use her own words against her. That slut Hu Xin 'er had flaunted her prowess in front of her, and now this illegitimate daughter didn't even put her in her eyes. The anger in her heart burned away her rationality.
Ju Qiulan raised her hand and slapped Mu Ning Jing.
All the anger from last night and today was accumulated in this slap. The slap was so strong that a few bright red handprints appeared on Mu Ning Jing's face. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and a metallic taste spread in her mouth.
Mu Ningjing felt like she was seeing stars and couldn't even stand steadily.
Just then, Ju Qiulan's phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was Xi 'er.
Ju Qiulan's rationality came back instantly. She adjusted her anger and walked away from Mu Ning Jing. She walked to the balcony and answered the call. "Xi 'er …"
"Why are you going to Ningning's place?" Shen Tingxi interrupted Ju Qiulan.
Ju Qiulan frowned. "You sent someone to follow me?"
"No, I arranged for someone to protect Ningning."
"Then you should know that she met that b * tch Hu Xin 'er today."
"So what?"
Ju Qiulan sneered. "So what? Your father gave the villa in the western suburbs to that b * tch Hu Xin 'er. That b * tch gave the villa's information to Mu Ning Jing. That b * tch wants to team up with Mu Ning Jing to deal with us and force us out of the Shen family. "
"Ningning is not that kind of person. Hu Xin 'er schemed against Ningning and used her job to get close to Ningning. Don't get involved in this. I believe Ningning can handle it."
"Xi 'er, you've lost your rationality because of that illegitimate daughter, but I'm very clear-headed. I won't just stand by and do nothing."
"Mom, I'll say it again. Don't get involved in this and don't cause trouble for Ningning. Otherwise, don't blame me for not caring about our mother-son relationship."
"You …"
"Alright, I still have things to do here. I'm hanging up."
Ju Qiulan listened to the busy tone on the phone and gripped the phone tightly. She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Her son had been with many women. How could he fall into Mu Ning Jing's trap and not be able to get out?
However, her son's call reminded her that Mu Ning Jing was the person in her son's heart. Her son was very interested in Mu Ning Jing. If she really fell out with Mu Ning Jing at this time, according to her son's personality, he might not even recognize her as his mother.
Ju Qiulan came in from the balcony. Mu Ning Jing had already taken away the documents on the floor. She came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea. "Have some tea."
Ju Qiulan's gaze lingered on Mu Ning Jing's red and swollen face for a few seconds. She did not take the tea from Mu Ning Jing and turned to sit on the sofa. "I'm not the kind of person who goes back on her words. Since I've already made a one-year promise with you, I will definitely keep it. However, I hope that you will draw a clear line between you and that b * tch Hu Xin 'er. She used vixen tactics to seduce Jiuyan and destroy my family. I hate her to the core. I was so angry that I hit you because you worked with her. Don't tell Xi 'er about this. "
Mu Ning Jing held the cup of tea and stood quietly by the coffee table. Although she was angry, she would not do anything to ruin the relationship between Shen Tingxi and his mother. "I won't tell Tingxi. However, I hope that Auntie can talk things out nicely in the future. Don't hit me."
"You …" Ju Qiulan suppressed her anger and did not say anything unpleasant. She had hit Mu Ning Jing today. If Xi 'er found out about this, he would definitely make a scene with her. She stood up and said, "You're on your own." Then, she left in a huff.
…
Mu Ning Jing placed the coffee in front of Hu Xin 'er and sat down opposite her. "If you have any requests for the design of the villa, you can call me directly. You don't have to come to the office to look for me."
On the surface, Mu Ning Jing was afraid that Hu Xin 'er would cause trouble for her. However, in reality, she did not want to have any direct contact with Hu Xin' er.
Hu Xin 'er picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. "I didn't come to look for you today because of the villa. I have some private matters to discuss with you."
"I'm sorry, but I'm at work right now. I can't talk about private matters." Mu Ning Jing stood up. It was obvious that she wanted to see Hu Xin 'er out.
Hu Xin 'er's gaze landed on Mu Ning Jing's slightly swollen face. She asked with concern, "Did Ju Qiulan hit you?"
"Miss Hu, please." Mu Ning Jing gestured toward the door.
Hu Xin 'er put down the coffee and stood up. She walked over to Mu Ning Jing and reached out to hold Mu Ning Jing's hand.
Mu Ning Jing avoided her and looked at the door. "Miss Hu, I have something to do. I won't be seeing you out."
Seeing that Mu Ning Jing kept avoiding her question, Hu Xin 'er was a little anxious. "Miss Mu, I won't beat around the bush with you. I've done my research. Ju Qiulan doesn't like you and doesn't want you to be with Tingxi. Do you know why?"
Mu Ning Jing frowned slightly and looked at Hu Xin 'er without saying a word.
Hu Xin 'er continued, "It's because she thinks that I ruined her relationship with Master Jiu, so she hates mistresses. You happen to be the daughter of a mistress. Ju Qiulan has a strong personality, so no matter how much you try to please her, she won't like you."
Mu Ning Jing's face turned pale when she was called the daughter of a mistress, but she couldn't refute it.
Hu Xin 'er said, "9th Master was always out and about when he was young, so he rarely came home. You can say that Tingxi was raised by Ju Qiulan. They have a very good relationship. If Ju Qiulan keeps opposing you, I believe that Tingxi will choose his mother in the end and abandon you."
Mu Ning Jing's hands clenched and unclenched by her sides. "What are you trying to say?"
Hu Xin 'er turned around and sat down in her seat again. She took out a lady's cigarette from her bag, lit it and took two puffs. A thin layer of smoke escaped from the corner of her fiery red lips, enshrouding her exquisite facial features. It was hazy and revealed a flirtatious beauty.
Through the thin layer of smoke, Hu Xin 'er looked at the girl with clear eyes in front of her. "I want to stay by 9th Master's side, and you want to stay by Tingxi's side. We should be friends."
Mu Ning Jing's expression was calm. "I'll give you the design within a week. After that, we won't know each other."
Hu Xin 'er moved the thin lady's cigarette away from the corner of her mouth and looked at Mu Ning Jing with a smile. Her slender fingers tapped the ash in the ashtray on the table as she said, "You're too innocent. You're no match for Ju Qiulan. She'll definitely break you and Tingxi up."
Mu Ning Jing gestured to the door again.
Hu Xin 'er stood up with the cigarette between her fingers and walked to Mu Ning Jing. She stopped beside Mu Ning Jing. "I saved 9th Master, so he won't leave me alone. What about you? What do you have to tie Tingxi down? What could make him want no one but you? "
