Mr. Lu, the wife was the white moonlight that night

Chapter 157

Only then did Mu Sichen turn around, his deep eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, and he said, "Since you are obedient, then call your friend and have a meal together."

After all, for the sake of Lu Jingmo's face, he would not take action against the Ye family.

But it's not bad that Ye Jiahe is so disgusting.

Xia Ling didn't understand why Mu Sichen was so stubborn to let Ye Jiahe know about their relationship?

But at this moment, she doesn't have any decision-making power. She can only obey what he says.

Just like that, Xia Ling called Ye Jiahe again.

Ye Jiahe, who was about to get home with Lu Jingmo, received a call from Xia Ling and said nervously and eagerly: "Lingling, have you figured it out? We are friends, and you shouldn't hide anything from me if anything happens."

"Well, then let's have dinner together in the evening, let's talk about it after we meet."

Xia Ling's tone was light and slow, with a bit of caution.

Without even thinking about it, Ye Jiahe made an appointment with Xia Ling on the location and time, and agreed.

Immediately, she said to Lu Jingmo: "Don't go home yet. Can you take me to Huijin International? Lingling has figured it out and wants to meet me."

Lu Jingmo was a little strange.

Just now, Xia Ling didn't want to talk about the Xia family's problems with Ye Jiahe in depth. How long has it been since she suddenly figured it out again?

Lu Jingmo was a little worried, and said, "Well, I'll go with you."

When the two arrived at a restaurant in Huijin International, Lu Jingmo and Ye Jiahe were shocked at the same time.

Because, not only Xia Ling, but Mu Sichen also came.

Lu Jingmo immediately realized that it wasn't Xia Ling who had figured it out, but Mu Sichen deliberately wanted to disgust Ye Jiahe.

Although he was not going to take revenge on the Ye family, he still hated the Ye family from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Jingmo could even imagine Ye Jiahe's reaction when he saw Xia Ling became Mu Sichen's forbidden descendant?

Therefore, he said side-by-side: "It's so late today, it's not safe for a girl in Xia Ling to go out. Otherwise, how about another time?"

"How about that?"

Ye Jiahe immediately retorted: "Xia Ling's family has such a big incident, I'm so worried about her. She finally figured it out and came to see me, how can I let her go?"

After finishing speaking, she shook Lu Jingmo's arm and begged, "Please, Lu Jingmo, please please."

Really unable to stand her soft and hard arguments, Lu Jingmo had no choice but to compromise and said: "Okay, then I will accompany you."

Although Ye Jiahe felt that it was inconvenient for Xia Ling to speak while he was at the side.

But I asked him to take her here, but I couldn't let him wait for her in the car.

Who dares to treat Lu Jingmo as a driver?

Just like that, Lu Jingmo took Ye Jiahe to the address given by Xia Ling.

When I entered the restaurant, I saw Xia Ling sitting by the window with her head down, as if in a daze.

"Lingling."

Ye Jiahe called her, and she came back to her senses.

When Xia Ling saw him and Lu Jingmo coming together, her expression was a little stiff, crying didn't look like crying, and smiling didn't look like laughing.

"You guys... are here."

Xia Ling pointed to the seat opposite, and said, "Sit down, I've already ordered the dishes."

Seeing Xia Ling's haggard face and weak voice, Ye Jiahe immediately felt distressed and wanted to cry.

"Lingling, you... where do you live now?" Ye Jiahe choked up and said, "I'm very worried about you, please tell me, what's going on now?"

At this moment, Mu Sichen came out from the bathroom and sat next to Xia Ling.

He put his hand on Xia Ling's shoulder casually, smiled at Ye Jiahe and the others, and said, "Don't worry, I'm dealing with the Xia family's affairs."

Ye Jiahe was stunned, looked at Mu Sichen, then at Xia Ling.

Obviously, Mu Sichen's movements were light and his smile didn't reach his eyes.

And Xia Ling buried his head low, almost turning into an ostrich, trying his best to hide his shame.

Ye Jiahe understood immediately.

She said with a cold face: "Lawyer Mu, let Lingling go."

"why?"

Mu Sichen smiled deeper, and said, "Miss Ye, why do you think I should listen to you?"

Ye Jiahe thought of what Chen Siya said before, saying that Xia Ling had become someone else's mistress.

At that moment, Ye Jiahe's blood surged, he glared at Mu Si and said: "You must have threatened Lingling, she promised you some conditions, right? Otherwise, she would never be with you."

Lu Jingmo held Ye Jiahe's hand and said in a low voice, "Calm down, don't meddle in other people's business."

"How is this a nonsense?"

Ye Jiahe's eyes were red with anxiety, and he said, "This is Xia Ling, she is my best friend, how can I ignore her?"

Mu Sichen laughed softly, scratched Xia Ling's pale face slightly, and said, "You said, did I threaten you? Did you beg me to follow me?"

Xia Ling's face was as white as paper at this time, and it was so hot that he didn't dare to raise his head to meet Ye Jiahe's eyes.

She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Jiahe, you have misunderstood Lawyer Mu. It is my own wish, and I am honored to be Lawyer Mu's female companion. After all, so many women want to be labeled as Lawyer Mu, He just chose me."

Xia Ling could feel that Mu Sichen wanted to humiliate her in front of her friends.

In this case, he should calm down when she said her words so meanly, right?

Mu Sichen couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger, and said to Ye Jiahe, "Miss Ye, did you hear that?"

Ye Jiahe couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to argue with him, but was stopped by Lu Jingmo's eyes.

From the beginning to the end of this farce, Lu Jingmo was the one who saw it most clearly, and he was also the only bystander.

He coldly said to Mu Si: "It's almost done! How you want to treat your woman is your business. But my wife didn't provoke you, so don't hurt the innocent."

Mu Sichen knew that Lu Jingmo's words were also a disguised reminder to him not to spread the mistakes Ye Chaoming made back then to Ye Jiahe.

Mu Sichen still gave Lu Jingmo this face, and he didn't embarrass Xia Ling anymore, let alone provoke Ye Jiahe.

But the scene just now, and what Xia Ling said, deeply hurt Ye Jiahe's heart.

She endured it for a long time, but the tears still fell down.

Ye Jiahe said word by word: "Xia Ling, can I have a chat with you alone?"

Xia Ling looked at Mu Sichen cautiously, as if asking if he was okay.

Seeing her like this, Ye Jiahe understood how humble Xia Ling's position was in this relationship.

Mu Sichen said lightly, "Go, come back in 10 minutes."

He has always been like this, setting a time for her, like taming some kind of pet, showing both leniency and strictness, and kindness and majesty.

Ye Jiahe pulled Xia Ling up, walked out of the restaurant, and found a quiet milk tea shop to sit down.

Both of them just wanted plain water.

Xia Ling kept his head down all the time, and his whole temperament seemed to have undergone an earth-shaking change.

Ye Jiahe said eagerly: "Lingling, tell me, what did he threaten you with? I can see that you are forced to stay by his side, right?"

"Ah."

Xia Ling responded lightly, smiled bitterly, and said, "But, I can only do this."

Ye Jiahe immediately said: "No, I can't let you let him bully like this. I will help you, you must leave him. We can find other ways to save Uncle Xia."

"What do you think?"

Xia Ling raised her head suddenly, her eyes were completely unfamiliar to Ye Jiahe, she said mockingly: "Can you do something? After all, why don't you ask Lu Jingmo for help?"

Ye Jiahe was stunned, wondering why Xia Ling suddenly became like this.

Ye Jiahe held her hand and said, "Even if I ask Lu Jingmo, I don't want you to follow Mu Sichen without dignity. Lingling, believe me, we can definitely think of a better way than now."

Xia Ling abruptly withdrew his hand from her hand, and said, "You look down on me now too, right? Yes, you're right, I just became Mu Sichen's mistress. It's normal for you to look down on me .Jiahe, we are no longer from the same world. Do you understand?"

"No, Lingling, we will always be best friends. Since we are friends, I can't watch you being bullied and threatened by him."

Ye Jiahe grabbed her and said, "You come with me, okay? You stay with me temporarily, and I'll let Lu Jingmo figure out a way."

Xia Ling shook off her hand fiercely, and shouted at her: "Don't be so naive, okay? What happened to my father is a big deal, and people say it's not about helping the poor! No one can save me, no one can save me. Even they can't save me! Jiahe, let's break off our friendship, a person like me is not worthy to be your friend. And you can't understand my situation at all! You won't even understand my choice!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Ling left the milk tea shop without looking back, leaving only Ye Jiahe frozen in place, as if his heart was empty.

Back in the restaurant, she walked up to Mu Sichen and said, "I've finished chatting with Jiahe, let's go."

Mu Sichen hooked the corners of his lips with a half-smile, greeted Lu Jingmo, and left with Xia Ling.

The two walked a little further before Mu Sichen asked, "What's the matter? Didn't your friend help you escape from my clutches?"

Xia Ling squeezed out a forced smile, and said, "How could it be the devil's claws? So many women want to climb into Lawyer Mu's bed. I can follow such an excellent person like you, so why would I have other thoughts?"

This flattery was very slippery, but Mu Sichen was very sober.

Xia Ling did this because she wanted to draw a line with Ye Jiahe and prevent her from worrying about her own affairs.

He couldn't help but feel that the woman beside him was ridiculous, he had already been reduced to this appearance, yet he was still thinking about others.

At the same time, Lu Jingmo found Ye Jiahe.

Looking at Ye Jiahe's distraught appearance, he asked worriedly: "What did you guys talk about just now? What did she... tell you?"

Tears hung in Ye Jiahe's eyes, and he choked up and said, "Xia Ling...she wants to break up with me."

Lu Jingmo knew how important Xia Ling was to Ye Jiahe.

He hugged her distressedly, and comforted her: "You still have me. Jiahe, I will always be by your side."

Lu Jingmo even felt that this was good, and it would save Ye Jiahe from getting involved in the Xia family's affairs in the future, which would make Mu Sishen unhappy.

But this time, he really admired Xia Ling.

He originally thought that Xia Ling would ask Ye Jiahe to beg him and give him this mess.

But no, Xia Ling chose this way, bearing all the pain alone, without implicating anyone.

But Ye Jiahe left his arms suddenly, she sniffed, tears couldn't stop flowing, "Lingling must not want me to worry about her, she broke up with me because she was thinking about me."

No matter what, she would never believe that Xia Ling really wanted to break up with her.

Even if she said she was naive and didn't understand her, she wasn't angry at all.

Ye Jiahe suddenly grabbed Lu Jingmo's hand and asked, "Can you help her? Mu Sichen is your friend, and he will always give you face."

Lu Jingmo didn't expect Ye Jiahe to trust Xia Ling so much.

When I had a misunderstanding with her on weekdays, she would always question him and doubt him immediately.

But for Xia Ling, she can achieve such unconditional trust.

Lu Jingmo couldn't help being a little jealous.

When did Ye Jiahe stand so firmly on his side?

"Lu Jingmo, why don't you talk?" Ye Jiahe was a little anxious, and said, "Is it okay? Just help her. You didn't see how Xia Ling was afraid of Mu Sichen just now. I'm really sad. I can't just watch her being bullied like this."

Lu Jingmo's eyes drooped slightly, and he said lightly, "I'm sorry, I said before, I won't help the Xia family. I don't have this obligation and responsibility..."

Ye Jiahe said angrily, "Why are you so indifferent? It's something that you can solve with a word or a move, why do you insist on watching others fall into dire straits?"

Lu Jingmo frowned unhappily, and said tit for tat: "Yes, you know, I can solve the problem with a single sentence. The premise is that that person is me! But Ye Jiahe, don't kidnap me morally, and neither will I." Follow your example. If you want to save your friend, you can do it yourself!"

His words made Ye Jiahe feel ashamed of embarrassment, and his face turned red with anger.

The little woman yelled at him angrily: "Okay, I'm not capable, I kidnapped you morally! I'm not worthy of a powerful man like you, it's okay!"

After speaking, she turned and ran.

Lu Jingmo subconsciously raised his legs to chase after him, but he held back his steps abruptly.

He can't spoil her like this, indulge her, he has his bottom line, and more importantly, he knows everything that Ye Jiahe doesn't know.

Therefore, he couldn't watch Ye Jiahe become a part of Mu Sichen's revenge.

Although he wasn't afraid of Mu Sichen, he could protect Ye Jiahe, but he couldn't protect her all the time. In the days to come, there would always be places that he couldn't protect.

So this time, Lu Jingmo didn't want to spoil her anymore, he had to hang out with her for a while, and let her know that it wasn't just her making a fuss that could achieve her goal.

……

Ye family.

Seeing Ye Jiahe running back in the middle of the night with his eyes still red, Ye Chaoming was very worried.

He hurriedly asked with concern: "Daughter, why are you back at this time? Did you have a fight with Lu Jingmo? Or did he throw you out?"

Ye Jiahe sniffed and complained, "I don't want to talk to him anymore."

"What happened?" Ye Chaoming said earnestly, "Tell Dad, let me see, whose fault is it?"

Ye Jiahe choked up and told about the Xia family's affairs, as well as Xia Ling's current situation, she also told her father.

"You... what did you say? That lawyer Mu, who is well-known in the legal profession, forced Xia Ling?"

Ye Chaoming was shocked.

When he was framed by Wang Rou before and imprisoned, he met Mu Sichen a few times.

In my impression, this man is a quiet, refined man.

He really couldn't imagine that Mu Sichen would do something to force a woman.

Suddenly, a terrible thought popped into his mind.

The surname "Mu" is the same surname as the person who died in vain because the drug they developed had too many side effects.

Could it be that Mu Sichen and that person are...?
