Chapter 140 Feng Muyang Finally Knows
While eavesdropping, Xiao Lan learned about Han Wan's proposal to Zhai Xingchen. She originally thought that Zhai Xingchen would agree immediately, but to her surprise, Zhai Xingchen rejected everything Han Wan said. Xiao Lan frowned, and deep disappointment surged in her heart. But then, she heard a conversation that shocked her even more.
Han Wan said angrily, "You asked me to help you spread rumors about Lu Qingxi more than once before! I did something dishonorable for you without asking for anything in return. You have to help me too."
Zhai Xingchen sneered and said sarcastically, "I helped you go to my brother's company several times to get close to him, and I also created opportunities for you to be ambiguous without telling Xiao Xu and Helian Che. Isn't that enough?"
When Xiao Lan heard this, she became even more angry at Zhai Xingchen. Her heartbeat was beating wildly in her chest like thunder, and she seemed to be instantly frozen by an invisible force. Her foot slipped, causing her heel to hit the ground suddenly, making a crisp and harsh sound. In the quiet air, this knock was like a stone breaking through the tranquil water, causing ripples.
Her heart sank. It was impossible that the two people above had not heard such a loud noise. She instinctively wanted to run away, but her legs seemed to be bound by invisible chains and became weak. She could only cling to the wall with all her strength, so that her body could blend into the darkness as much as possible. She clenched her teeth and covered her mouth tightly with both hands, fearing that the slightest sound would leak out.
Zhai Xingchen's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a dangerous light flashed in his deep eyes. He looked around, trying to find the source of the voice. Although his voice was low, it was full of majesty and unquestionable power. This question was like an icy arrow, shooting straight into Xiao Lan's heart, making her feel a piercing chill.
Han Wan stood aside, her face as pale as paper, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, as if trying to draw a little strength from it. Her eyes were full of fear and anxiety, as if she would collapse at any time. She looked at Zhai Xingchen's gloomy face, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart.
Zhai Xingchen from upstairs began to walk down, and every step he took seemed to be stepping on Xiao Lan's heart.
Xiao Lanru was struck by lightning, and her mind was instantly in a mess. She stood there helplessly. Just when she was at a loss, a warm and strong hand suddenly held hers, and then a force pulled her away from her original position. She looked up in surprise, and saw Feng Muyang with a serious face and frowned, pulling her forward quickly.
Her mind was in a mess. At one moment, she was thinking about the fact that Zhai Xingchen had instructed his cousin to frame Lu Qingxi, and at another moment, she was thinking about the fact that Feng Muyang was used by Zhai Xingchen to cause Lu Qingxi to go to the bar. She felt an unprecedented confusion and powerlessness.
Feng Muyang was also thinking in his heart. He held Xiao Lan's hand, but felt a touch that was completely different from his memory. He was confused, but had no time to investigate. The two of them walked quickly and finally came to a relatively quiet corner.
After Feng Muyang confirmed that no one was chasing him, he suddenly let go of Xiao Lan's hand, reached out to grab her wrist, and put her hand on his head. Xiao Lan looked at him in shock, not understanding what he was going to do. However, before she could come to her senses, Feng Muyang had already let go of her hand, and she subconsciously raised her hand and slapped him.
"What are you crazy about!" Xiao Lan said angrily.
Feng Muyang was a little dazed by the beating, but he clearly felt the huge gap between the person opposite him and the one in his memory. He shook his head, trying to make himself more sober. However, his body suddenly felt weak, as if he could not stand.
Seeing this, Xiao Lan was still a little angry, but thinking that Feng Muyang had helped her just now, she stepped forward to support him. Unexpectedly, Feng Muyang brushed her hand away, and after a few seconds, when he stood firm, he immediately grabbed Xiao Lan's shoulders with both hands and stared at her anxiously.
"Tell me, was it you who saved me?" There was a hint of trembling and anticipation in Feng Muyang's voice.
Xiao Lan looked at his almost collapsed eyes, and her heart could not help but throb. She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and then said: "It was not me who saved you. The reason I sent you to my home hospital was because someone asked me to do so."
Feng Muyang was stunned, his mind was in a mess. He thought that the person who could make Xiao Lan change her mind should be someone close to her, and the only girl around Xiao Lan was Lu Qingxi. He asked cautiously, "Is it Lu Qingxi?"
Xiao Lan didn't expect Feng Muyang to think of Lu Qingxi so quickly. Her eyes flickered, she frowned, and then denied, "It's not her."
However, Feng Muyang was not a fool. He could read a kind of concealment from Xiao Lan's expression and tone. He was certain in his heart that it must be Lu Qingxi who saved him.
Afterwards, the two of them fell into their own contemplation, and everything around them seemed to be still. Feng Muyang kept replaying what he had done to Lu Qingxi in his mind. Those foolish decisions and impulsive behaviors made him feel deeply regretful. Xiao Lan was angry and contemptuous of Zhai Xingchen's actions. His shamelessness left a deep mark in her heart.
The two walked out of the Zhai family's gate one after the other in silence. In the night, their figures looked particularly lonely. Zhai Xingchen, who returned to the banquet, immediately felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly ordered his servants to check who had just left. When he learned that Xiao Lan and Feng Muyang had left and had not returned, he frowned and felt a headache in his heart.
Xiao Lan's identity is special, she is not someone he can easily deal with. And Feng Muyang, his love for Xiao Lan is no longer a secret. Zhai Xingchen knows very well that if these two people join forces, he will probably fall into even greater trouble. He held his forehead with a headache, trying to keep himself calm.
However, when he looked up and saw his father frowning at him, he became even more flustered. He knew that his father must be disappointed and angry about what he did tonight. Zhai Xingchen took a deep breath and forced himself to cheer up to deal with the questions and looks from the people around him.
