Falling tonight

"It's her," Muzhou closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his expression was cold and calm, "So are you still planning to get to know her?"

The adopted daughter Xiao Xinyun not only replaced Zhao Rou to enjoy the upbringing of the Xiao family, she also replaced Zhao Rou to enjoy the kindness of the Mu family.

If he goes to recognize Zhao Rou again, or asks her to forgive Xiao Xinyun as her biological parents, it may be counterproductive.

Xiao Zhong was speechless for a long time.

It was night, Zhao Rou was sitting on the bed after washing, and Mu Zhou hadn't come back yet. She held the pregnancy test report in her hand and looked at it carefully. On the B-ultrasound sheet, a small colorful outline like a pebble lay quietly. The more she looked at it, the more she felt in her heart. soft.

It is such a little life that is conceived in your belly and will thrive like a seed.

A shadow fell above her head, and Zhao Rou looked up, only to find that Mu Zhou was leaning over the checklist in her hand.

"What are the results of today's test?"

The edge of the bed sank, and Mu Zhou sat down next to Zhao Rou.

She had taken a bath, and the faint bath fragrance lingered on her body, which made her feel peaceful.

Mu Zhou reached around her thin shoulders and hugged her. He secretly smelled the familiar smell a few times and heard her smiling voice say, "It's good. The blood test results were all within the normal range. The fetal heart rate and fetal bud Everything is normal."

"Well, is this shadow the little one?"

Mu Zhou asked, pointing to the small colored dots on the B-ultrasound sheet.

"Yes, if you look carefully, you can still see his hands and feet."

"Really?" Mu Zhou raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised.

He brought the checklist closer, and upon closer inspection, he could actually tell that the small lump had thin arms and legs, but it was just too small to notice unless he looked carefully.

Only then did he feel truly touched in his heart that his and Zhao Rou's child was alive.

Mu Zhou put his right hand on Zhao Rou's belly, feeling the soft skin under his fingertips. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Xiao Zhong and the others came to the company to see me today."

Zhao Rou looked at him sideways, "What conditions did they negotiate with you to let Xiao Xinyun go?"

Mu Zhou chuckled lightly and observed Zhao Rou's expression, "It's my condition."

He revealed what Xiao Zhong and his wife said to Zhao Rou, but did not mention the paternity test.

After finishing speaking, the shock on Zhao Rou's face was obvious, "Is it Han Zihao's father? He, he actually attacked you..."

Mu Zhou answered, "What Xiao Zhong said is probably true, but I will go back to Mu's house tomorrow to ask my mother in person why, if it is really Han Ming, she allowed him to live until now."

Zhao Rou held his hand and said, "I'll go with you."

"You have been peacefully raising your baby at home these days. These are trivial matters. I'm afraid your mood will be affected."

She looked at him silently, with firm eyes.

Mu Zhou smiled helplessly and rubbed the top of her hair, "She's really become clingy... Then let's go back together."

The two hugged each other for a while. When Zhao Rou looked up, she saw that Mu Zhou had closed his eyes. His long eyelashes fell on the shadows of his eye sockets, and his face was full of fatigue.

She pushed his arm gently, "Are you tired from work? Why don't you take a shower first?"

When Mu Zhou heard this, he opened his eyes. The red bloodshot eyes were clearly visible. His Adam's apple rolled, "Okay, you go to bed first, and I'll go wash it off."

The next day when they arrived at the Mu family's old house, they saw Xiao Zhong and his wife standing in front of the carved door of the Mu family and talking to the servants with their heads lowered. Seeing Mu Zhou get out of the car, Huo Siya stepped forward with an unhappy look on her face, "Mu Zhou, You promised us yesterday to let Xinyun come out today, why didn't they let her go when we went to pick her up in the morning!"

Xiao Zhong echoed from the side, "Yes, we can't contact you, so we have to find you here."

Zhao Rou looked at Mu Zhou in surprise. Did he promise to release Xiao Xinyun yesterday?
After receiving the inquiry from her eyes, Mu Zhou gently patted her hand to reassure her. "Sorry Aunt Huo, I went back last night and thought about it. Xiao Xinyun can't go back with you just yet. My wife's matter hasn't been settled yet, and she hasn't calmed down yet. If I let him go like this, she will be unhappy."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhong frowned fiercely, "Mu Zhou, we are all men, we must keep our words. You are deceiving us with your calculations."

Mu Zhou raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhong, "Uncle Xiao, I can only say that you overestimate yourself. This truth is very important to me, but using it to exchange for Xiao Xinyun's freedom is far from enough. You can go back for a month. After that, I will ask someone to send her abroad in person."

Huo Siyan was exhausted, "You, why are you like this!"

At this time, Mu Xianshan and Qin Hua heard the noise at the door and walked out. They were surprised to see Xiao Zhong and his wife.

"Are you back?" Due to the presence of Mu Zhou and Zhao Rou, Qin Hua's face flashed with surprise.

Huo Siya saw Mu Xianshan and his wife were in low spirits and said, "Mrs. Qin, we just came to talk to Mu Zhou about something."

Qin Hua was startled, "What are you doing with Mu Zhou?"

She felt vaguely uneasy.

"What we can do is just reminisce about the past." Mu Zhou said quietly from the side. He turned to look at Zhao Rou, supported her and said, "Don't stand for too long, go in."

When Huo Siya saw it, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to stop Mu Zhou, "Mu Zhou, hurry up and let people relax!"

Mu Zhou frowned, and the coldness on his face turned to frost, "I said, I will let her go in a month. Uncle Xiao, Aunt Huo, for the sake of you being the elders, leave on your own and don't let us." Please leave."

Mu Xianshan and Qin Hua looked on and did not stop Mu Zhou's actions.

Xiao Zhong reviewed the situation, while Lahosiya stood aside and said, "Forget it, he already wants the answer, we can only start looking for connections again."

There is no need to provoke the Mu family now, otherwise if Mu Xianshan and his wife intervene, it may be even more difficult for Xiao Xinyun to be released.

Huo Siya was so angry that she could only glare in Mu Zhou's direction.

Zhao Rou was pulled by Mu Zhou towards the villa. She felt the strong gaze behind her. Looking back, Huo Siya's eyes were about to get angry when she looked at them. But after meeting Zhao Rou's eyes, Ho Siya closed her eyes. With malice in his eyes and complicated emotions in his eyes, he finally looked away, not daring to look at Zhao Rou again.

Sensing Huo Siya's evasive look, Zhao Rou brushed aside Xiao Zhong. The look in his eyes was exactly the same as Huo Siya's. She looked deeply at Zhao Rou, her lips moved, and finally she didn't say anything.

With just one glance, Zhao Rou looked away. The guess in her heart was basically confirmed, but Xiao Zhong and his wife did not make any move, and she had no intention of entangled with them anymore.

Mr. Mu is not at home, Zhao Rou is sitting in the living room drinking tea. Mu Zhou and Mu Xianshan have been talking in the study for an hour. A fierce quarrel can be heard faintly from a long distance away.

Zhao Rou's hand holding the tea cup shook.
In the study room.

There were tears in Qin Qin's eyes. Faced with her son's accusation, she felt helpless and blamed herself, "Mu Zhou, you understand me. I did this out of helplessness..."

Seeing that Mu Zhou had learned the truth about the incident from Xiao Zhong, Mu Xianshan sighed, "Your mother did not do the right thing indeed. She made such a choice after weighing it. Mu Zhou, listen to your mother first." Finished."

Qin Qin saw Mu Zhou standing by the window, holding on to the window lattice with both hands, his eyebrows cold and cold. Different from his usual indifference, now he was filled with doubts and confusion about them, and a little anger.

"Mom, please tell me how Han Ming, your uncle, is more important than me, your biological son, so you have to hide this matter from me, the person involved."

Qin Qin wiped away her tears and said, "It's not for Han Ming's sake, Mu Zhou, it's because of your aunt. I let Han Ming go because of her."

"Your grandma passed away early. I raised your aunt with my own hands. I am both a sister and a mother. Han Ming is bad, but your aunt didn't know about this. After your father rescued you, I didn’t want your aunt’s life to be affected, so I found Han Ming and asked him to keep this matter in his stomach for the rest of his life.”

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Mu Zhou sneered, "Mom, am I being bullied like this in vain?"

"Of course not." Qin Qin hurriedly explained. She walked to Mu Zhou and looked up at her son, hoping to find a trace of emotion on his face. "Your father and I will definitely not forgive Han Ming. After that incident, your father Drive him out of the Mu family and never cooperate with him again. He almost made us lose our child. Your father and I will ask Han Zihao to leave Han Ming as well. This is the biggest concession we can make."

Mu Zhou lowered his head and looked at Qin Qin, "So since then, you have been obedient to me because you feel you owe me, right?" (End of Chapter)
