the seventh bride

74 Drunk

"Yeah." Nangong Chen casually threw the suit jacket on the sofa, poured a glass of boiled water, walked to the bay window and sat down.

Bai Muqing followed and sized him up: "Did you find her?"

Judging by his expression, he probably couldn't find it, right?

Nangong Chen shook his head and said sadly: "I can't find it."

Bai Muqing sat down on the other side of the bay window, with her small hand covering the back of his hand.

Her fingertips were slightly cool, covering the back of her hand as soft and delicate as silk.

"It's been so many years, can we stop looking for it?" She looked at him with distress in her heart.

A big man like him shouldn't be hurt like this by a woman!

Nangong Chen smiled bitterly. Over the years, he has said this sentence to himself no less than a hundred times, but what's the use?He would still go crazy all night because of a back that resembled her so much.

That night, he almost searched the entire commercial street, and even went to the villa where her family lived to find it, but the response he got was still that the whole family had moved, and the property rights of the villa had changed owners.

He got down from the window sill, went to the bar, took a bottle of red wine and two crystal goblets, and then handed one of the glasses of red wine to Bai Muqing.

Bai Muqing glanced down at the red wine in his hand, but didn't reach out to take it.

"What? You don't even want to have a glass of wine with me?" He shook the goblet in his hand, and the red liquid in the cup rolled out into small waves, enchanting and gorgeous.

Bai Muqing really had the urge to take it and kill it in one gulp, but she couldn't do that, she was a pregnant woman!
"Did you forget that your stomach is still not healed? You can't drink." As she said that, she was about to grab the bottle in his hand.

However, Nangong Chen grabbed her palm and put the wine glass into her palm: "If it wasn't for taking care of you, I would choose to drink baijiu."

After speaking, he picked up another cup, touched her and then drank it down.

Seeing him refill the wine glass, Bai Muqing knew that she could not stop her no matter what, so she had no choice but to symbolically touch the wine with her lips under his repeated request.

Red wine is a good vintage product, but no matter how good the wine is, it will hurt your body if you drink it one after another like him.

"Okay, don't drink anymore." She forcibly took the glass away from him, stared at him and said angrily, "Isn't it just a woman? Look at what you've done to yourself."

"You don't understand anything at all."

"Why don't I understand? It's not that I haven't been abandoned by men before, but do you see that I have messed myself up like you?"

This time, Nangong Chen did not snatch the wine glass back. He leaned his head against the edge of the window and smiled sadly: "Anyway, she doesn't want me anymore, so what does it matter? Haha, really, even She is also afraid of me, she clearly said she is not afraid... she is obviously not afraid..."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly sat up straight and pinched her shoulders with both hands: "Have you ever tried the feeling of being feared and rejected by others? You must not have it? But I have, I have lived in this feeling since I was a child. At the beginning It was in the western suburbs of Yancheng, a few new friends who had a good time with me ran away immediately after hearing that I was an ominous person, and then I got lost and got sick from the rain. It was not easy to meet someone who was not afraid of me. She hates me, I thought I could spend my whole life with her, but in the end? It turned out to be just a silly dream..."

"Stop talking." Bai Muqing leaned over and hugged him tightly: "It's not that no one wants you, at least I want you. I'm not afraid of you, and I don't despise you."

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Nangong Chen sneered.

"Okay, I admit that I was a little scared at first, because I have never encountered such a thing, because the rumors outside are too outrageous. But now I am not afraid, and I will not be afraid in the future, no matter what happens in the future I will spend everything with you, please believe me."

"Two months ago, would you still say this?" Nan Gongchen sneered again: "No, right?"

Bai Muqing was startled, she knew that Nangong Chen was referring to before knowing his true identity.But she can swear to God that she really didn't decide to live a good life with him because she saw his appearance and knew that he would not kill his wife.

From the moment she was forced to marry him, she had accepted everything!

It's no wonder that he thinks so. Ever since he appeared at the Nangong family's banquet, how many women have regretted their wrists. Even Bai Ying'an, a rich and powerful young lady, dreams of being his wife.

Nangong Chen didn't push Bai Muqing away, he was too tired to push her away, and just let her hug him.

Bai Muqing took a breath in his arms, and said with a wry smile: "If I say that I am different from them, you will definitely not believe it, and there is no reason for you to believe it."

She finally let him go, looked at him and said, "Have you vented enough? If you have enough, go in and take a shower. I cooked porridge and served it for you."

He didn't eat much during the dinner, and Miss Zhu, who was looking for him all night, probably couldn't be in the mood to eat.

Before Bai Muqing left the bedroom, she thoughtfully entered the bathroom and put a tub of bath water for him.

When she warmed up the porridge and served it, Nangong Chen had already fallen asleep leaning against the window sill.

She walked over like this, pushed his arm and called in a low voice: "Eldest young master, you don't have to take a bath, but you must eat porridge, otherwise you will be hungry at night."

Nangong Chen had just downed half a bottle of red wine in a row. The red wine has a lot of stamina, and he has gradually started to feel a little drunk.

Nangong Chen was indeed hungry, he tried his best to stabilize his body, took the white porridge from her hand and ate it quickly.

After eating the porridge, he lay down on the bed with Bai Muqing's support, probably because of too much movement, his stomach suddenly turned upside down.Throwing her body forward, she spit out all the porridge she just ate, and spit it out on Bai Muqing's body impartially.

Bai Muqing couldn't dodge in time, the pajamas she just put on were all dirty.But at this moment, she couldn't control so much anymore, she hurriedly approached Nangong Chen's body and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?"

After Nangong Chen lay on the edge of the bed and vomited violently again, his stomach was finally emptied, and he finally felt more comfortable.

He fell back on the bed with a hush on his face, looking at Bai Mu who was in a mess but didn't care at all, he felt a little embarrassed.He waved his hand uncomfortably, signaling him not to worry about himself.

Bai Muqing poured warm water for him, and said angrily, "Look, I told you not to drink so much."

After serving him to drink warm water, she asked again: "I spit out all the porridge I just ate, do you want me to serve you another bowl?"

"No need." Although very hungry, but really no appetite.

Bai Muqing could tell that he had no appetite, so she stopped forcing herself, and went into the bathroom to tidy herself up.After she took a shower, she realized that she only brought a set of pajamas, and now that the pajamas were dirty by his vomiting, she could only wrap herself in a bath towel.

Fortunately, Nangong Chen had already fallen asleep, so she couldn't see her wrapped in a bath towel.

After tidying herself up and cleaning the floor, Bai Muqing brought a basin of hot water to the bed, and wiped Nangong Chen's face and hands with a towel.

The warm towel covered his face very comfortable and warm, Bai Muqing helped him wipe his face, and when he was about to remove the towel, the little hand holding the towel was suddenly wrapped in his big palm.

She froze for a moment, and hurriedly covered the bath towel on her body with the other hand. When she instinctively wanted to break free from his big palm, he held it tighter.

"Sleep with me..." His voice was as low as a whisper.

Bai Muqing turned her little hand vigorously, and resisted in a sour tone: "I've said it many times, it's not your Zhu Zhu!"

"I know." He was still talking in his sleep.

he knows?Bai Muqing stopped struggling, and looked at him in surprise.Does he really know?Really didn't think of her as Miss Zhu?
Although he is very pitiful and sympathetic at the moment, if she is asked to play Miss Zhu to please him, she is still very unhappy. This is a matter of the most basic principles!
"Then... tell me, what's my name?" In order to keep a distance, Bai Muqing dawdled by the bed on purpose.However, before she could figure out what to do, Nan Gongchen had already forcibly dragged her onto the bed and pinched her into his arms.

Being pulled by him like this, the towel on Bai Muqing's body finally fell off.Feeling her naked body, Nan Gongchen touched her body with his hands, then propped himself up and stared at her with mocking eyes.

Bai Muqing knew that he must have misunderstood, so she hurriedly clarified: "The only set of pajamas I have was vomited dirty by you."

"I'm sorry..." His palm moved on her body, and her body gradually reacted. Bai Muqing was worried that he would not be able to handle his beastly behavior, so she quickly grabbed his palm, stared at him and begged, "I've waited on you." One night, I'm already very tired, can I change another day?"

After talking about this point, she didn't believe that he would not let her go.

Hearing what she said, Nangong Chen really stopped the aggression, retracted his arms and hugged her instead.

After tossing all night, he was actually very tired.

The next day, Bai Muqing got up early, bought simple ingredients nearby and cooked breakfast.

When she returned to the bedroom, Nan Gongchen just woke up and sat up on the bed.

"Are you awake?" Bai Muqing looked at him.

Nangong Chen looked at her, recalling the details of last night, he couldn't help laughing at himself.

What did I do last night? !

He lost his soul all night for a woman who could never come back, and even drank himself into a mess, this kind of Nangongchen even disgusted him.

"Last night... Thank you for your hard work." He rarely said a word to her gently.

In the past, he would only take for granted what she did last night, because she was his bought wife, and he had never treated her with equal eyes, because it was shameless.

Probably after a long time, he gradually realized that she was really different from others, that's why his attitude towards her changed.

Not to mention himself, even Bai Muqing was not used to hearing him speak in this tone.But thinking of last night, she was really contemptuous.

She smiled mockingly: "So you still remember what stupid things you did last night?"

"What do you mean?" Nangong Chen pretended to be stupid.

"It's nothing." Bai Muqing picked up a coat from the chair and threw it to him: "Put on your clothes quickly, be careful not to catch a cold, and, after washing up, hurry down and have breakfast." After finishing speaking, she turned and left the bedroom to go downstairs up.

Nangong Chen went into the bathroom to wash up, and took a shower by the way. When he came out, he was refreshed and clean.When he raised his legs and walked towards the door of the bedroom, his eyes accidentally fell on the shopping bag on the sofa. The logo on the shopping bag belonged to the shawl store last night.

He stopped for a while, and walked towards the door again.

When eating breakfast, Nangong Chen buried his head in eating the lean meat porridge in the bowl, while Bai Muqing, who was sitting across from him, was eating the porridge while browsing the web with his mobile phone. The features and traffic conditions of Yancheng were displayed on the screen of the mobile phone.

She hasn't been back to Yancheng for a long time, and many places have changed, so she wants to get acquainted with it when she comes back this time.

"Where are you going to go shopping today?" Nangong Chen suddenly asked.

"I don't know, I'm looking for it." Bai Muqing took a mouthful of the porridge in the bowl, and responded casually without raising her head.

"Would you like me to go with you?"

"Huh?" Bai Muqing finally raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

Did she hear correctly?Nangong Chen took the initiative to say that he wanted to go out with her?This is not like his style of work!

When I begged him to accompany me to go shopping in the commercial street yesterday, I begged for a long time but didn't move. In the end, she abducted me because I didn't have a car.

"What? No need?" The first Zi showed his hospitality, but he didn't get the cheers he deserved, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

He offered to accompany her to go shopping, of course Bai Muqing was full of joy, but she was not the kind of person who would ignore other people's inconvenience just for her own happiness.

"But... don't you have important things to do today?" Bai Muqing looked at him and said that before she got home last night, she received a call from Assistant Yan, reminding her not to take Nangong Chen for a stroll too late , because there is something important to do the next day.

"Forget it, let Xiao Lin accompany me." Bai Muqing chuckled, and then asked, "By the way, did you fire Xiao Lin in the end?"

"No." Nangong Chen lowered his head and continued to eat porridge.

Now that she has said so, he naturally has no reason to continue recommending himself, and he does have business to do today.

Originally, he was thinking of pushing the matter to Assistant Yan to deal with it, and was formally spending a day with her to repay her for taking care of her yesterday.

"I thought you would fire him, yes, he is a caring boss." Bai Muqing gave him a thumbs up, smiling approvingly.

Nangong Chen glanced at her with a flat face, and he also thought that he would fire Xiao Lin.

It seems that I have indeed changed a lot recently, and the person who made me change slowly is the woman in front of me who has not accomplished enough and failed a lot.

Bai Muqing and Nangong Chen went out together, and after getting off at the gate of the new building, Nangong Chen sent Xiao Lin to Bai Muqing.

Xiao Lin is a lively and cheerful boy, and he has already heard about the fact that he was almost fired last night.

As soon as he saw Bai Muqing, he was grateful and said: "Young Madam, I was really grateful to you last night, thank you."

"Last night?" Bai Muqing was still a little confused, she didn't take such a small matter to heart at all.

"I've heard from Assistant Yan that it was you who pleaded with Chen Shao on my behalf, so I was able to keep my job." Xiao Lin said with a smile: "I shouldn't have left my post last night, and Chen Shao didn't have a car. sit."

In the past, he would have been fired long ago.

"Such a small matter is nothing to worry about, just do it well in the future." Bai Muqing smiled at him.

"I will." Kobayashi agreed loudly.

After the car started, the interior of the carriage became quiet. Bai Muqing couldn't help thinking, if she hadn't pleaded for Xiao Lin last night, Nan Gongchen would have stood at the hotel entrance and waited for Xiao Lin to rush over, so she wouldn't have been abducted to the commercial street. Won't meet that girl, won't be looking for her all night....

She shook her head, what was she thinking?

If Nangongchen has that woman in his heart, not just in the commercial street, but wherever he goes, there will be her shadow, and he will think of her wherever he goes.

In fact, part of the reason why she refused Nangong Chen to accompany her today was because she had no plan to go shopping at all, but decided to visit her grandmother's grave and pay homage to her old man.

After putting Nangong Chen down, she asked Xiao Lin to send her to the cemetery in the north of the city

****
Nangong Chen finished his business, closed the folder and pressed the internal phone number.

Soon, Assistant Yan came in, stood in front of him and said solemnly: "Young Master Chen, are you done with your work?"

"Ah."

"Then let me report to you about the small courtyard of the Zhu family." Assistant Yan handed the folder in front of Nan Gongchen: "This is the basic information sheet of the personnel of the Zhu family, as well as the documents from the time when the small courtyard of the Zhu family was purchased. All files."

Nan Gongchen opened the folder, the first one was the basic information of the old lady of the Zhu family, and the date of her death was the time when he bought the small courtyard of the Zhu family.

After continuing to scroll through a few pages, his movements suddenly stopped and stopped on a person's profile.

A familiar name, a familiar face...

Zhu Zhu, a simple but cute name, he still remembers the first time he asked her name, she was too embarrassed to say it, so just let him call her Xiao Zhu.

He laughed and said that Xiao Zhu was not close, and wanted to call her Zhu Zhu, but she shouted angrily that he was the pig.

After yelling and yelling, he slowly confirmed her piggy's name.

"Young Master Chen." Assistant Yan called out, Nangong Chen came back to his senses, calmed down and said, "Say it."

"I've already investigated, and the thing is like this. When Mr. He came forward to talk to Mrs. Zhu's son, Zhu Zhiwen, about buying the small courtyard of Zhu's family. As soon as Zhu Zhiwen heard that he could compensate for the urban villa of Zhu's family, he immediately agreed. , but the old lady Zhu refused to sell the small courtyard, and threatened to commit suicide. In order to complete the task as soon as possible, Mr. He joined forces with Zhu Zhiwen's family to force the old lady out of the small courtyard. The old lady jumped from the second floor in a panic. Broken leg bone. But the strange thing is that the old lady passed away on the second day after being sent to the hospital. It is rumored that Zhu Zhiwen took the opportunity to kill the old lady in order to get the real estate. Yes, whether this is the truth or not, I am afraid only Zhu Zhiwen will know."

Nangong Chen pondered, thoughtful.

"But one thing is certain is that Mrs. Zhu was forced to death in the small courtyard of Zhu's house." Assistant Yan continued.

really!Sure enough, he was forced to die!
Nangong Chen clenched his hands on the folder little by little, and smiled sadly: "It seems it's still my fault."

At the beginning, he only wanted to buy the small courtyard anonymously and arrange a good place for the Zhu family, so he sent He Feng to talk to the Zhu family. He didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

Thinking back then, He Feng misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he was interested in the small courtyard of the Zhu family and sent him there. At that time, Assistant He, who was eager to get ahead at the time, wanted to complete the task as soon as possible to please him, so he joined forces with Zhu Zhiwen to force Zhu to death. old lady.

He knew that Mrs. Zhu was the only family member who loved Zhu Zhu dearly, and she was also the relative Zhu Zhu cared about the most. However, he accidentally killed the person she loved the most.

"Young Master Chen, don't say that." Assistant Yan comforted, "It's none of your business."

"Why is it none of my business? If I hadn't been troublesome back then, Mrs. Zhu wouldn't have died." Nan Gongchen took a breath helplessly, and looked up at Assistant Yan: "Have you found out where Mrs. Zhu's cemetery is?" ?”

"I've checked it out." Assistant Yan said, it's her specialty to do things comprehensively, and she even found out that the old lady liked lilies the most before she was alive.

"Young Master Chen, are you going to pay homage to Mrs. Zhu at the cemetery?" Assistant Yan asked suspiciously.

Nangong Chen nodded.

"I'll prepare a car for you." Assistant Yan said and walked out.

*****
Bai Muqing stayed with her grandma in front of her grave for a long time before she took a deep breath and wiped away the mist of tears in her eyes with the back of her hand.

This farewell, and I don't know when I will come back, even though I feel very sad in my heart, I have to leave.

She still remembers that when she left Zhu's house, her grandma held her by her old hand, she was tearful and reluctant to part, and finally forced her the last few dozen dollars in her pocket.

Grandma told her that if the road to recognize relatives is difficult, then come back to Yancheng. No matter how bad Yancheng is, it is always a place to stay.

She agreed with all her heart, and the road of recognizing relatives was indeed difficult, but with her uncle and aunt around, she would never be able to return to this family.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm doing fine now." She raised her palm and gently stroked the photo of the old lady on the tombstone with her fingertips: "I will come back to see you every year in the future and send you my favorite lilies .”

Unfortunately, no matter what nice things she said, grandma could no longer respond to her.

After Bai Muqing left the cemetery and returned to the car, Xiao Lin looked at her with wet eyes and asked with concern: "Young Madam, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Bai Muqing sniffed, and touched her cheek with her hand.

Xiao Lin looked at her, and then at the cemetery, seeing a friend so sad?He was really puzzled.

"Let's drive." Bai Muqing urged.

Kobayashi nodded, started the car and drove towards the outside of the cemetery.

Driving out of the cemetery path, there is a road leading to the urban area. Not long after the car drove out, a silver-gray luxury car drove towards it.

The car was rented from Yancheng, Xiao Lin and Bai Muqing were not familiar with it, and they did not notice that Assistant Yan and Nan Gongchen were sitting in the car.
