the seventh bride

Chapter 71 His Past
An hour later, Nangong Chen and Bai Muqing appeared in the terminal together.

Assistant Yan went to check in for the two of them, while Bai Muqing stood in front of the French window of the terminal building and talked with Zhao Feiyang on the phone.

Today was the day of the minor surgery, and I originally planned to give him the sketch before the surgery, and send him to the operating room in person.Nangong Chen was so disturbed last night, the sketch was not finished, this time I have to rush to board the plane and I can't even go to the hospital.

She asked Zhao Feiyang to give the phone to Xiaoli, and listening to Xiaoli's weak and strong words, Bai Muqing took a deep breath of guilt, and said softly: "Xiaoli, you must be strong, and I will go to see you as soon as Teacher Bai comes back." OK?"

"Okay... Xiaoli will wait for Teacher Bai to come back, and Teacher Bai will have a smooth journey." Xiaoli smiled weakly.

"Well, Xiaoli is so good." Bai Muqing reminded him a few more words before hanging up the phone reluctantly.

After hanging up the phone, she turned around and found Nan Gongchen behind the sunglasses looking at her.She has been on the phone since she stepped into the airport, acting like a busy person.

Before Nangong Chen could say anything, Bai Muqing walked to the empty seat beside him and sat down, with a sad tone: "Today is the day for minor surgery."

"If you don't want to go to Yancheng, there is still time." Nan Gongchen didn't force it.

Bai Muqing really didn't want to go, it's just...

She glanced at him. Apart from the company subordinates who had already rushed over, the one who went with him this time was Assistant Yan, and if Assistant Yan was innocent with Nan Gongchen, he would definitely not live in the same room with him.

The old lady was right, what if Nan Gongchen fell ill at night and no one was around?No one knows when he is dead.

She really couldn't bear to let him go alone, besides, this was the responsibility entrusted to her by the old lady, how could she dare to sneak away halfway?
"You don't need to look at me, I won't die there." Nangong Chen shrugged.

Bai Muqing stared at her speechlessly: "You want to get rid of me that much?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Why? Could it be..." She deliberately glanced meaningfully at Assistant Yan who was walking towards the two: "Afraid that I will spoil your good deed?"

Assistant Yan had already walked over, and politely said to the two of them, "Young Master Chen, Young Madam, it's time to board the plane."

Bai Muqing glanced back and forth between the two of them, but she couldn't see any relationship other than work, but it's not like the style of a rich man to leave such a beautiful woman alone!
"Are you going or not?" Nangong Chen's tone showed resignation.

When Bai Muqing came back to her senses, she realized that Nangong Chen had got up from the chair and was waiting for her to board the plane together.

She hurriedly got up and walked to the boarding gate with him.

*****
Yancheng is a tourist city surrounded by the sea on three sides. The urban area is a prosperous high-rise building, and some ancient buildings are preserved around it.

When Bai Muqing was young, she lived with her mother at her grandma's house by the sea in the west of the city. Although her mother didn't care about her and her uncles and aunts rejected her, her grandma loved her very much since she was a child.

It's a pity that grandma was forced to death in a land sale many years ago. Grandma left very suddenly. Sadly, she didn't even see her for the last time while she was studying in City C.

The strange thing is that my grandma's ancestral house has been left unused since it was bought by someone. The buyer did not convert the small building into a hotel or coffee shop like others did, nor did he convert it into other places to collect money.

On the contrary, after the uncle's family got the house sale money, they moved to live in a big villa in the urban area and lived a happy life.

After arriving in Yancheng at noon, the three of them had dinner together, and Nan Gongchen and Assistant Yan left the hotel together.

And Bai Muqing went back to her room to sleep, and when she woke up, she felt bored and went out for a stroll alone.

In recent years, the tourism industry has become more and more developed, and the streets that were once familiar are no longer familiar. Many small residential buildings have been transformed into family hotels for rent, and the originally quiet alleys have also become lively snack streets.

Bai Muqing walked through the streets and alleys based on her memory, and found that although many of the alleys on both sides had been converted into shops, the items sold were very individual and cute.

She stepped into a small jewelry store, picked out some lovely small jewelry for the children, and picked out small gifts for Yao Mei, Shen Xin and the others.

During this time, she received a call from Pu Lianyao, and Pu Lianyao on the other end of the phone asked her with a smile if she had arrived in Yancheng safely. Bai Muqing replied that she was already shopping while picking out accessories.

"How is it? Is it fun over there?"

"Fortunately, the scenery is quite good."

"Of course, I heard that my cousin used to like to run there the most."

"Really?" Bai Muqing picked up a string of wooden beads and compared them on her wrist, and said, "I can't tell, he still likes beautiful scenery."

"Who doesn't like to stay in a place with beautiful scenery?" Pu Lianyao said with a smile, "Besides, Miss Zhu is from Yancheng."

Bai Muqing held Muzhu's palm for a moment, slightly surprised: "Miss Zhu is from Yancheng?"

"Didn't I tell you before?" Pu Lianyao finished speaking casually, then changed her tune and said, "By the way, I heard that the sour plum cake over there is very famous, remember to bring me a few boxes if it's convenient."

"no problem."

"Okay then, just go shopping slowly, I won't bother you anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Muqing was in a trance. Ms. Zhu is actually from Yancheng like her?It turned out to be a fellow.

What a coincidence, she shook her head and smiled wryly.

Walking all the way, before she knew it, she actually came to the door of her grandmother's former residence.

This is a small two-story building with an exclusive courtyard and courtyard structure. It is still the same as when she left, nothing has changed, except... the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard has grown a lot!
Everywhere is a memory, some sad, some beautiful, but the depth of those memories is not clear.

She doesn't remember much about her childhood, after all, she was still very young at that time, and she remarried and left with her mother when she was ten years old.

The most obvious thing is that after elementary school, in order to help the family, she sat in the yard and made hand-woven wreaths with her grandma, and then placed them at the door to sell to tourists passing by.

Since her grandma passed away and the place was sold, Bai Muqing never came back.Now that she stepped into this courtyard again today, besides the desolation in her heart, she missed her grandma deeply.

I don't know when this place will be demolished or transformed into a hotel and coffee shop. Maybe the next time I come, I won't see the phenomenon again.

In order to keep this memory, she took out her mobile phone from her backpack and walked inside while taking pictures.

When she took a picture of the bedroom where she lived when she was a child, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the camera. She was stunned, her eyes moved up slightly, and fell on that person.

Did she read it right?It's actually Nangong Chen?

It just so happened that Nangong Chen also turned around at this time, and the two looked at each other with the same suspicion in their eyes.In the end, Bai Muqing sized him up and asked, "Eldest Young Master, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Nangong Chen looked at her and asked back.

"No... What I mean is, didn't you go to work in the new real estate? How could...?"

"I'm done with work." He said, in fact, the work over there does not require him to do it himself. He will be here on a business trip, and he didn't go there for work.

"Oh." Bai Muqing nodded, and then asked again: "Then why did you come here? There doesn't seem to be much to see here, right?"

Nangong Chen pondered for a moment, then asked her instead: "Then what about you? Why did you come here?"

"Me? I'll just wander around, wherever I go." Bai Muqing chuckled, and put the phone back into her bag.

"If you are interested in the ancient city, you can ask Assistant Yan to send a female staff to take you around." Nangong Chen said.

"No need." Bai Muqing hurriedly waved her hands: "I know this place very well, so I don't need anyone to take it with me."

Nangong Chen frowned slightly, and looked at her suspiciously: "Are you familiar with this place?"

"Ah..." Bai Mu said in a dumb voice, it's too bad, he slipped his mouth.

Bai Ying'an's mother is not from here, and she has no reason to be familiar with this place. In a moment of quick talk, she actually forgot that her identity at this time is Bai Ying'an, not Bai Muqing.

After her brain was running fast for a week, she immediately smiled and said: "I like the customs and customs here very much. I come here almost every year, so I am very familiar with the streets and scenes here."

There was nothing wrong with this reason, and Nan Gongchen did not doubt it.

"Including this house?" Nan Gongchen pointed to his feet.

Bai Muqing nodded: "Of course."

"tell me the story?"

Bai Muqing walked into the yard, took out a tissue from her bag, wiped one of the stone benches clean, then motioned for Nangong Chen to sit down, and sat down on the other stone bench herself. She opened her arms and said intoxicatedly, "I still know how to sit down." It is the most comfortable place to bask in the sun, and I will come here every time I come to sit.”

"Really?" Nangong Chen murmured and raised his face, following her example, imagining the feeling of Yang Guo shining on his face through the patio, it was indeed very comfortable.

"Then do you know anyone who lives in this house?" He asked unconsciously.

Bai Muqing was slightly surprised, why did he ask this?Was it a casual question?

After pondering for a moment, she replied: "I don't know, but I heard that this courtyard was forcibly bought back then, and the old woman who lived here was forced to death by them, while her children and grandchildren moved to the urban area. "

"Buy it by force?" Nangong Chen frowned.

"Yes." Bai Muqing smiled wryly: "Isn't this the way it is in this society, when meeting rich and powerful people, ordinary people are no match for them at all."

When it comes to this matter, the scene is a bit cold.

Bai Muqing was still feeling sad, while Nangong Chen was still thinking about it, the two of them had their own concerns.

After recovering from the sadness, Bai Muqing stared at him and asked cautiously: "What about you? It seems that you also have feelings for this place?"

Nangong Chen raised his eyes and glanced at her, but did not answer her question.
