They dared to lay their hands on the person he fancied. They must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall.
Thinking of Jiujiu's silly smile, the corners of Mu Rong's mouth curled up slightly. After thinking for a while, he instructed Li Xiang to help him check if Jiujiu's brother was still alive. If he was alive, even if he was on his last breath, he would bring Jiujiu back. If he was dead, then the people related to him would not be able to live.
After Mu Rong quickly settled Jiujiu's matter, he closed his eyes and entered a state of rest.
The next day, Jiujiu stayed in the house as usual to prepare three meals for Li Jue. At the same time, she thought about what to cook for Mu Rong when she met him tomorrow.
Thinking of Mu Rong in a wheelchair, Jiujiu frowned. She began to think about whether she should wait until she was done with Li Jue's matter to learn medicine so that she could treat Mu Rong's legs in the future.
It was not that Jiujiu despised Mu Rong for being a cripple. Even if Mu Rong was paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life, Jiujiu would not despise him. It was just that Jiujiu felt that although Mu Rong looked as gentle as the moonlight, he was actually a proud and arrogant person. He would not be willing to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
However, she did not know why Mu Rong did not choose to go for treatment but continued to sit in a wheelchair.
The next day, after Jiujiu prepared lunch for Li Jue, she brought the pork rib soup and some biscuits that she had cooked for Mu Rong and quickly ran to the place where she would meet Mu Rong.
When Jiujiu arrived, Mu Rong had not arrived yet. After waiting for a while, Jiujiu sat on the stone stool and stared into the distance in a daze, thinking about Li Jue's matter.
After her attacks during this period of time, Li Jue already had a good impression of her, but it wasn't very deep. At least, when he had to choose between her and Mu Linlang, Li Jue would definitely choose Mu Linlang without hesitation.
However, what Jiujiu wanted was more than that. Not only did she want Li Jue to have a good impression of her, but she also wanted Li Jue's first reaction to protect her when she had a conflict with Mu Linlang, and not the pure moonlight Mu Linlang in his heart.
It sounded like a simple sentence, but doing it was harder than ascending to the heavens.
While Jiujiu was in a daze, Murong appeared behind Jiujiu.
Actually, if Murong wanted to come over, he would have already arrived. However, before he came, he had Li Xiang help him change into a few sets of clothes. In the end, he covered his knees with a cloth to block the cold air and had Li Xiang push him over.
The wheels of the wheelchair made a series of sounds as it rolled over the marble floor, successfully diverting Jiujiu's attention from Li Jue to Murong who was slowly coming over.
Mu Rong was born with a gentle appearance. At this moment, when she saw Jiujiu waiting for her at the same spot, a smile appeared on her usually expressionless face in front of her subordinates. The slight curl of her lips was as dazzling as the bright moon. It was so beautiful that it made one dizzy.
When Jiujiu heard the wheels of the wheelchair rolling over the ground, she stood up from the stone bench. At this moment, Murong was already in front of her. Jiujiu immediately walked to the back of the wheelchair, took the wheelchair from Li Xiang's hands, and pushed Murong to the opposite side of the stool she was sitting on just now.
After parking the wheelchair, Jiujiu sat down on the stone bench opposite Murong. She picked up the thermos of pork rib soup that she had brought over and opened it. The unique aroma of pork rib soup immediately filled the air.
After Murong's legs were broken, the servants often sent him pork rib soup, so he was very familiar with this smell.
However, his legs had been broken for almost three years. What did Jiujiu mean by making pork rib soup for him now?
When Li Xiang smelled the pork rib soup, his face instantly darkened. The gaze he used to look at Jiujiu also became unfriendly.
If the current Murong was like a cold and ruthless monster, then the Murong who had not gotten into a car accident three years ago was a gentle young master.
Back then, Mu Linlang's father tampered with the brakes in order to seize the position of the Mu family's head. In that car accident, Murong's parents died on the spot. Although Murong was lucky enough to survive, he paid the price of his legs.
Mu Linlang's father got the position of the Mu family's head as he wished. During that time, Murong was like a stray dog with its tail between its legs. Even his breathing was wrong.
Under such circumstances, Murong endured for two years and finally overthrew Mu Linlang's father, Mu Yuan, from the position of the Mu family's head in one fell swoop. Not only did he secure the position of the Mu family's head, he even snatched the shares in Mu Yuan's hands.
Mu Yuan was as obedient as he was arrogant in the past. He was just like Murong in the past, behaving himself with his tail between his legs.
However, the difference was that Murong knew that he would make a move sooner or later. On the other hand, Mu Yuan was worried about how Murong would deal with him if he knew the truth of the car accident.
When he thought of this, Mu Yuan's head hurt terribly. It had only been a year since Murong took the position of the Mu family's head. However, not only did Mu Yuan's hair turn white, but he was also balding a lot. He did not know if it was because he was too worried or because he scratched himself bald.
After Murong secured the position of the Mu family's head, Li Xiang suggested that Murong undergo surgery. However, Murong directly refused and sat in a wheelchair every day.
However, because of Murong's skills, no one looked down on him because he could not walk.
However, legs and pork rib soup were Murong's taboo.
Li Xiang originally thought that Jiujiu might be an exception. At this moment, when he saw Jiujiu take out the pork rib soup, he could not bear to look at her and turned his head away.
Without looking, Li Xiang could imagine the scene of Murong splashing the soup all over Jiujiu.
Moreover, this scene was because Li Xiang felt that Murong liked Jiujiu. If he did not like her, Murong would definitely break Jiujiu's legs.
However, what surprised Li Xiang was that Murong was as fierce as a wolf in front of outsiders. However, in front of Jiujiu, he was a harmless and loyal big dog.
Not only did Mu Rong not knock over Jiujiu's thermos flask of pork rib soup, she even took the pork rib soup that Jiujiu handed to her. After drinking it in one gulp, she said in a gentle voice, "It's delicious, thank you."
When she heard Murong say that the pork rib soup she made was delicious, Jiujiu's face instantly showed a happy expression. She pursed her lips slightly and revealed her little dimples. She said with a smile, "I also prepared some biscuits for you. Do you want to eat them?"
Murong's expression did not change. "Thank you."
"We're friends. It's my duty to make food for a friend." Jiujiu chuckled and took out the biscuits she baked especially for Murong.
Considering that Murong might not like sweet biscuits, Jiujiu's biscuits tasted more refreshing. Even if Murong did not like to eat sweets, he could still eat them.
Murong took the biscuits from Jiujiu and ate two bites. Then, he handed the biscuits to Li Xiang and asked him to hold them.
