He hung up?
He let Yu Anna off just like that?
Dong Zai felt that this was not Young Master's style of doing things. However, Yu Anna was of the Yu family's bloodline after all. Even if Young Master was not afraid of Mu Yiqing, Yu Anna's grandfather was not a small figure. Although he had retired, he still had his connections from being an official for many years. If he really angered him, it would not end well.
As Dong Zai thought about it, he suddenly thought of himself. He had neglected his duty and caused Mu Ning Jing to be beaten up. Young Master had not punished him yet.
Dong Zai did not feel that he had escaped a disaster. Instead, he felt even more uneasy. Based on his understanding of Young Master, he had neglected his duty. Young Master would definitely not let him off just like that. Even if he did not say anything now, he would definitely be severely punished when he returned.
Could it be that Young Master also had the same intention towards Yu Anna?
He wanted to come back and deal with her personally?
Forget it, forget it. He could not even take care of himself. Why should he care about others?
Dong Zai sighed sadly. During this period of time, he had better put aside the triad's affairs and personally investigate Mu Yiqing's scandals. He hoped that he could find something to make up for his mistakes. When Young Master returned, he would be merciful to him.
…
After Mu Yiqing left, Mu Ning Jing sat on the floor beside the shoe cabinet at the door. She did not sleep well last night because of nightmares. In addition, she was beaten up by Yu Anna. Her mind was filled with the scene of everyone laughing at her and being bullied when she was young. Back and forth, repeated and alternated. Her mind was groggy.
At this moment, her phone rang. Mu Ning Jing, whose thoughts were wandering, jumped in shock.
She took out her phone and saw the three words "Shen Tingxi" on the screen. Her dry eyes instantly moistened.
After hearing Shen Tingxi's words from Shuxin yesterday, Mu Ning Jing had thought of calling Shen Tingxi. However, after looking up his number several times, she did not know what to say. In the end, she did not call him.
He said that he did not dare to call her, but he still called her.
Did it mean that he missed her a lot?
Mu Ning Jing pursed her lips and suppressed her chaotic emotions. She picked up the call.
"Ningning."
As the familiar deep voice reached Mu Ning Jing's ears, her tears fell. When she didn't see him, she missed him. After hearing his voice, she missed him even more. The longing in her heart surged wildly. She couldn't control her tears and they flowed out.
Mu Ning Jing was afraid that he would hear her crying, so she bit her lower lip and suppressed her emotions.
"Ningning?" Shen Tingxi called again.
Mu Ning Jing did not dare to let go. She was afraid that she would cry out loud, so she quickly made a sound through her nose. "Mm."
"Did you eat well and sleep well?" Shen Tingxi asked.
"Yes."
Shen Tingxi was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Did anyone bully you?"
Mu Ning Jing hurriedly took the phone away. When she heard the sound of crying, she quickly coughed to cover it up. She took a deep breath and suppressed the boiling emotions in her heart. She put the phone back to her ear. "No."
This time, Shen Tingxi was silent for a long time. She was still like this. She was unwilling to tell him anything. In the end, she didn't see him as someone she could rely on, right? That was why she could break up so easily.
Shen Tingxi sighed softly. When he spoke again, his voice was deeper than before. "Take good care of yourself. Call Dong Zai if anything happens."
"Okay."
"Then I'll hang up."
"Tingxi."
"Mm?"
"Will you leave me?"
"No." Shen Tingxi answered without hesitation. He seemed to be afraid that Mu Ning Jing would bring up the breakup again, so he quickly added, "Don't even think about leaving me."
When Mu Ning Jing heard these strong and domineering words, her insecure heart instantly calmed down. No matter what she was like, he would never leave her. She couldn't back down. She had to be brave and walk towards him bravely.
"I … I miss you." When Mu Ning Jing said these words, her watery eyes were tinged with a touch of shyness. Her mind was filled with Shen Tingxi's calm and handsome appearance.
This was the first time that Mu Ning Jing had said such words of love to Shen Tingxi. If it were any other time, he would have gone crazy with joy. He was a quiet and introverted girl who wasn't good at expressing herself. How could he not be happy when she said that she missed him?
However, after knowing that she had just been beaten up and had suffered grievances, Shen Tingxi's heart ached even more when he heard these words. She must be very sad and weak right now. Otherwise, how could such an introverted person say such emotional words?
"I'll quickly settle things here and come back to accompany you."
Mu Ning Jing nodded obediently. "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Ning Jing leaned her head against the shoe cabinet. The corners of her mouth curved into a faint smile. Shen Tingxi's phone call was like a ray of sunshine that warmed her heart and drove away the haze on her body.
…
Ju Qiulan took out a few pieces of tissue and handed them to Yu Anna. "Nana, don't cry. No matter what, Auntie will only acknowledge you as her daughter-in-law."
Yu Anna nodded and held Ju Qiulan's hand intimately. Fortunately, Ju Qiulan had always been on her side. If Ju Qiulan hadn't reminded her this time, she wouldn't have thought of the idea of making Mu Ning Jing difficult for Mu Yiqing.
However, she didn't expect that her father would also be bewitched by this vixen, Mu Ning Jing.
What was worse was that when she told her mother about this, her mother was so angry that she almost flipped the roof. However, when her father came back and closed the door, he said something to her mother and her mother didn't get angry anymore. Instead, she comforted her, saying that there was nothing between her father and Mu Ning Jing and that she shouldn't think too much.
She was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot.
Ju Qiulan patted the back of Yu Anna's hand gently. "Don't be angry. Mu Ning Jing is so shameless that she even seduced your father. When Tingxi comes back and finds out about this, he will definitely ignore this woman."
Yu Anna's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, why didn't she think of this? She was so angry that she forgot that Mu Ning Jing had an affair with her father that she actually forgot that there was a good side to this.
In the past, Mu Ning Jing had an affair with her stepfather. Now, she had an ambiguous relationship with her father. Perhaps Mu Ning Jing liked men who were older than her, like her father?
If Tingxi knew that Mu Ning Jing was such a dirty woman, he would definitely not want her.
As Yu Anna thought about it, her mood instantly improved. She even hoped that Mu Ning Jing and Mu Yiqing really had an affair. If this could help her get Shen Tingxi, she was willing to sacrifice her father. Her mother wouldn't mind anyway.
…
Three days later, at Fancheng International Airport.
Shen Tingxi walked out of the hall in a tailored black suit. His footsteps were steady, and there was a hint of masculinity in his walk. His facial features were deep and sharp, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. He exuded a dark and cold aura that kept people away.
Dong Zai followed behind him and reported to him about Mu Ningjing's situation over the past few days. "Ever since Yu Anna made a scene in front of Miss Mu's house, the nearby residents have been looking at Miss Mu differently. They're full of ridicule and contempt, and some people even scolded her in front of Miss Mu … shameless."
Dong Zai's voice became softer and softer as he spoke. Shen Tingxi's face was getting darker and darker, and the low pressure he was exuding was suffocating him.
