Chapter 20 Contractual Marriage
After coming out of one hospital after another, Mu Xue couldn't find a kidney that could be transplanted, so she called a friend: "Ah Rong, please how is your business?"

"Mu Xue, I have used all my contacts, but you also know that this thing is unusual, so why is it so easy to find?" Arong said helplessly.

Although he didn't help much, Mu Xue still didn't forget to thank him.She hung up the phone and looked up at the dark sky, feeling that the road ahead was the same as the sky above her.At this time, the phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number, she quickly picked it up: "Hi, I'm Mu Xue, may I ask you..."

"Xue, it's me." Su Qi's voice reached her eardrums, and Mu Xue frowned, "Why are you looking for me again?"

"Xue, are you busy? I want to talk to you face to face." Su Qi is always so careful with his daughter.

Mu Xue didn't want to talk to him at first, but suddenly remembered what Gu Yan said that day.

…………

……

"Mu Xue, why don't you dare to admit it?" Gu Yan took two steps towards her, put his arms around her thin shoulders, and said distressedly, "Why don't you dare to admit that you still care about your father in your heart, and dare not admit that you long to lose such a father?" Years of fatherly love, dare not face my own heart, dare not admit...you like me."

……

…………

Mu Xue decided to give him a chance, "I'm not free, so if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Hey, good." Although Su Qi said so, he hesitated for a long time because he didn't organize his sentence well or was embarrassed to speak.

"I'll hang up if you don't talk anymore." Mu Xue was about to hang up the phone as she spoke.

"I said! I said!" Su Qi was afraid that she would really hang up the phone, so he yelled anxiously on the other end.

Only then did Mu Xue put the receiver to her ear again, waiting for what he wanted to say.

"That... Xue, I want... to borrow some more money from you..." Su Qi stammered out his reason for looking for her.

Mu Xue closed her eyes in disappointment. She knew that even if she gave him another chance, it wasn't about the money. She opened her eyes again, and her tone was a little angry: "Didn't you just borrow 20?"

"I know I'm a bit shameless, but 20 is far from enough. They said that if they give me more time to raise money, I don't have anyone else to rely on. You lend me some first, and I will definitely pay you back later. "

Mu Xue snorted coldly: "You pay me back in the future? What are you going to pay me back? I believe you are stupid, don't try to trick me, I have no money!"

"You're a designer, why don't you have any money?" Su Qi asked rhetorically.

Hearing such a straightforward questioning from him, Mu Xue became so angry that she almost yelled, "I said Su Qi, do you still have a conscience?! Is there a father like you in the world? I beg you, don't torture me anymore. I've had enough! Now that my mother is in danger, have you ever asked? I don't have any more money to pay you for the huge daily expenses!"

Su Qi was a little startled, "You said... what happened to your mother?"

"Kidney failure." Mu Xue was silent for a few seconds after finishing speaking.

"How could it be..." This bad news was unexpected by Su Qi. He never knew that Mu Shuting's health was in such a state.

Mu Xue felt aggrieved by what happened to her mother, "I really don't understand why you have committed so many sins and are still alive, but let my mother suffer retribution for you?!"

Su Qi was startled, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry for your mother and daughter...your mother...which hospital is she in now? I want...to see her."

"I'm afraid it will be even worse when she sees you. If you don't want to aggravate her condition, please stay away from us." Mu Xue angrily ended the call.

Su Qi heard a busy tone coming from the handset, he stood in the phone booth in a daze, he hadn't fully digested Mu Xue's words just now.The people in the queue behind couldn't wait and knocked on the door, "Hey! How are you? Don't take up your seat if you don't need it!"

It was only then that Su Qi came to his senses and hurried into the air. The sky seemed to be getting colder. He rubbed his hands, stuffed them into his pockets, and gradually disappeared into the street.

Gu Yan went to the company early in the morning, and he didn't see Mu Xue coming after working hours. He walked to Yang Yuan's desk and asked, "Have you seen the main design?"

Yang Yuan shook his head, "No, I haven't seen her for a long time."

"Maybe you're angry with the chairman?" Chen Nina interjected, "It's strange to say that it's a good thing, but why the plan was withdrawn. Mu Xue has been doing well all along, and she must feel uncomfortable seeing this kind of treatment."

At this time, Zhao Yulin came over with a folder, "During working hours, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have. We don't care about the affairs above, and we don't care about it. It's the business to hurry up and work."

Everyone had to leave.

Gu Yan drove to Mu Xue's house during the break at noon. Last night, he waited for a call until one o'clock in the morning. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep. Mu Xue didn't come to work today, and the phone still couldn't get through. It's absolutely impossible just because of the plan. Being denied anger at home was so simple, he had to find her to find out what happened.

Gu Yan parked the car aside, knocked on the door of Mu Xue's house, but no one answered, and knocked several times in a row, still no one.Are you not at home?Where are you going?As he was thinking about it, he walked back and saw an old woman walking from the other side of the road with a bag in her hand and a handful of garlic sprouts protruding. She should be a resident living nearby.He walked over to say hello to her, pointed to the villa behind him and asked, "Old man, where did this family go?"

The old man waved his hand, "I don't know, I don't know."

Gu Yan asked several people who passed by, but they all said they didn't know, so he gave up and went back to the company.

When the doctor came to change the medicine, Mu Xue left the ward, walked to a window at the end of the corridor, and dialed a number. She saw an adult on the floor in the backyard downstairs with a child feeding a group of white pigeons, which reminded her of During the few days when she was taking care of Gu Yan in the hospital, a male voice rang on the phone, pulling her out of her memories, and she said, "I have something to ask for you, where are you now?"

Mu Xue looked for it according to the address. In a villa in Pudong New Area, Li Binghuan had been waiting there for a long time.Mu Xue came here once a few years ago. It was a birthday present from Li Binghuan's father when he was 20 years old.The villa is very large and has a complex structure. Under the guidance of the servants, Mu Xue went to the room where Li Binghuan was.Heating was provided in the room, the purple curtains were tightly drawn, and the winter sunlight was filtered through several channels and only sporadic light passed through. I saw Li Binghuan sitting on the recliner with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Ahem." Mu Xue stood at the door and coughed.

Li Binghuan didn't move, only heard him say: "You are finally here."

"So you knew that I would come to you." Mu Xue said as she walked in front of him, completely blocking the light.

With his eyes closed, Li Binghuan felt darkness in front of his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Xue's face.She was wearing a sweater and a gray-blue hooded overalls jacket, her hair was loose and her face was pale and pale.Li Byung-hwan stood up and said, "Of course, because you can't find anyone more suitable than me."

"Then I won't play around with you anymore. I'm begging you for this matter. Can you help me?" When he was abroad, Mu Xue accompanied Li Binghuan to a medical examination, and only then did he know that he was also RH negative.

Li Binghuan stared at her and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Is this your attitude of begging for help?"

Mu Xue lowered her eyes, her eyelashes cast a shadow on her face, she bit her lip, raised her head to look at him again, and her voice softened: "Last time in the hospital, I spoke a little harshly, but I was just too angry , I don’t really blame you, I’m sorry. The doctor said, the sooner the operation is done, the better. I have used all the resources available and I have not been able to find a suitable kidney. Waiting is too risky for me, so I can only come here Looking for you. You know, I have always only had a mother, just like you have only had a father since you were a child. I think you can understand my feelings..."

Li Binghuan smiled, as if admiring a rare masterpiece, he said: "It's really hard for you to say the word 'sorry' from your mouth, but don't think that I will give you a kidney, not that simple."

"Yes, it's not fair to let you waste your body for nothing, just ask for any conditions you have." After saying this, Mu Xue regretted it.

Sure enough, Li Binghuan smiled with satisfaction. He had expected her to say that, and he took a step closer to her, "What about the condition of marrying me?"

Mu Xue avoided his gaze and didn't answer.

"You asked me to make a condition, and I just said one thing, and you can't do it?" Li Binghuan's face darkened, and he turned around and said coldly, "Then please go back."

"I promise you." Mu Xue said behind him.

Li Binghuan turned around and couldn't believe she compromised so quickly, "Really?"

Mu Xue nodded, "I promise you, but I can't marry you right away, I have to wait for my mother to have an operation before I can rest assured."

Li Binghuan couldn't tell what mood he was in at the moment. He was both happy and a little disappointed. After all, the essence of this marriage was not what he wanted, but he must not miss this opportunity. "Okay, but what if you go back on your word?"

"If you're worried, I can sign a contract with you. If you don't object to the operation on our wedding day." Mu Xue looked into his eyes and said.

When Li Binghuan heard her say "we...", his heart skipped a beat for no reason. She was about to marry him, and it would no longer be her and me, but "we".Lee Byung-hwan agreed to her proposal, "Okay, we'll have surgery on our wedding day."

Mu Xue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, this time she was finally saved, although she was very guilty of the person who had been lingering in her heart, she did not regret it. "Then I'll go back to the hospital first."

"Mu Xue..." Li Binghuan stopped her.

"Ok?"

"If, I mean, if Gu Yan also meets the conditions for transplantation, will you look for me or him?" Li Binghuan didn't intend to wait for her answer, he continued, as if asking himself an answer, "You will still look for me Right? You love him so much, so naturally you won't be willing to trade his health, but I'm willing to do anything for you..."

Lu Hong was quite surprised when he received Li Yanzhen's call, then he went downstairs and entered a nearby cafe, where Li Yanzhen was sitting by the window.

"Sit." Li Yanzhen smiled and told him to sit on the chair opposite.

Lu Hong ordered a cup of mocha and said, "I didn't expect the vice president of TOD to come to me. Are you sure you didn't come to see your cousin Ren Jingye?"

Li Yanzhen smiled just right, "I am indeed here to find you."

Lu Hong seemed to be thinking, "I really can't think of any place where we can overlap."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask you about two people."

Lu Hong raised his eyebrows, "Two people?"

"Well," Li Yanzhen nodded, "Mu Xue and Gu Yan, I heard that you have a good relationship with Gu Yan, so you should know about their affairs, right?"

"Why ask about them?" Lu Hong looked at her vigilantly, and then thought of something, "Could it be...do you like Gu Yan?"

Li Yanzhen covered it up with a smile: "It's not me... just a friend of mine, who seems to have feelings for Gu Yan in that way, so please ask me to inquire about it."

"Haha, it can't be that girl Ren Jingye?" Lu Hong joked while observing her.

Li Yanzhen took a sip of coffee and said, "It doesn't matter who that person is, you just need to tell me about their college days."

Lu Hong couldn't help sighing: "If you want to talk about Gu Yan and Mu Xue, it will take a long time to talk about it. The relationship between them is not something that ordinary people can get involved in. If you want to hear it, it's okay for me to tell you."
