Chapter 203 Doubt
Chapter 203 Doubt
But it was obvious that Mu Jinghua's obedience was only on the surface. The more Xu Shu prevented him from contacting Qiao Wan, the more interested he became in this woman.
Unlike last night's embarrassment, after dressing up, Qiao Wan finally revealed her original noble temperament that was engraved deep in her bones. She was not only beautiful, but also quite bold. She exuded a sense of self-satisfaction from the inside out when dealing with people, whether she was facing Jiang Xiao, Wu Yong, or the introverted Jiang Xiangwan.
This made Mu Jinghua quite fearful. Obviously Qiao Wan was much more difficult to deal with than Du Wanbai.
Du Wanbai was born in a brothel, so Mu Jinghua can say that he is cleaner than him.
But this woman is beautiful, clean, intelligent and excellent.
Mu Jinghua could even feel that Xu Shu had an inexplicable trust in her, because they both came from heaven and had similar backgrounds and experiences. Mu Jinghua and Wu Yong couldn't understand a lot of what Xu Shu said, but that woman could understand.
She can understand.
That's why he shot without hesitation last night. He wanted to kill this woman, even if it might make him bear Xu Shu's wrath, he was willing to do so. Because he knew that if Qiao Wan wanted to fight, he would have no chance of winning.
But the woman did not die. It should be said that it was his first time using a gun, so his accuracy was far inferior to archery, or this woman was just so lucky. In any case, she did not die.
But what really made Mu Jinghua interested in Qiao Wan was the way she looked at him.
It was obvious that he had shot her to death without hesitation last night, but she did not blame him at all. She was not even afraid of him, or rather, she reacted calmly as if nothing had happened.
I can also talk and joke with him very naturally, and even invite him to the study to read books together without any hesitation.
It felt like, as if they had known each other for... a long, long time.
This feeling is very rare. Even with Xu Shu, Mu Jinghua has never had such a feeling.
He knew that Xu Shu said that he came down to earth specifically to find him just to make him happy.
But if it was Qiao Wan who said this, Mu Jinghua vaguely felt that he would believe it.
After realizing what he was thinking, Mu Jinghua felt it was very strange, but it was this strangeness that made him want to know more.
More about Qiao Wan.
For this reason, he could even tolerate this woman being an eyesore in front of Xu Shu.
But Jiang Xiangwan, who learned about this, obviously didn't think so. When he came to Mu Jinghua to cook together, Jiang Xiangwan couldn't help but secretly told Mu Jinghua: "Brother Mu, I always feel that Mr. Xu is not right with that girl named Qiao."
Du Xiaocao was also there at the time. Since Du Wanbai and his mother left, Du Xiaocao had said less, but this time she quickly said, "Yes, there's something wrong with them."
But Mu Jinghua was still immersed in that weird thought, and was a little uncertain for a moment: "No, I think she, she likes Xuan Er."
Xuan Er is very handsome, and he was injured to save Qiao Wan. Although Qiao Jianhong does not agree with their marriage according to Xu Shu, Mu Jinghua wants to...
Qiao Jianhong probably wouldn't approve of Qiao Wan and Xu Shu's marriage.
Du Xiaocao saw what Mu Jinghua was thinking at a glance, and said coldly: "Mu Jinghua, you are too naive about this matter."
Mu Jinghua was stunned.
Ever since Xu Shu brought Du Xiaocao home, the relationship between Mu Jinghua and him has become much more distant, but Du Xiaocao has also become a good helper. Du Xiaocao will help him keep many things, many things that he does not need Xu Shu to know, hidden well by him.
In most cases, Du Xiaocao just listened to his or Caidie's requests silently, and then did it without saying a word, like a puppet without any ideas of his own.
Now, hearing his strong rebuttal, Mu Jinghua was a little surprised: "Why don't you trust Xu Shu so much?"
"No one is trustworthy, Mu Jinghua." Du Xiaocao washed the vegetables with a cold face, "Haven't you always believed this?"
No, Mu Jinghua wanted to shake his head.
But Du Xiaocao asked, "Then why didn't you believe Du Wanbai at the beginning? Even if you didn't believe Du Wanbai, shouldn't you believe Xu Shu?"
"You just don't believe in anyone. You and I are the same kind of people. We were betrayed, redeemed, betrayed again, and redeemed again. How could we possibly..."
"No!" Mu Jinghua was shaking with anger.
Jiang Xiangwan was a little overwhelmed: "Don't... don't quarrel over this kind of thing."
Du Xiaocao snorted coldly and looked at Jiang Xiangwan: "I really envy you for being so well protected by your mother and husband."
Jiang Xiangwan was speechless at the moment. After all, Xiaocao was indeed alone now.
Du Xiaocao left after saying this, without even washing the vegetables.
Mu Jinghua had no intention of calling him back. He just looked at the pot of vegetables on the ground, lost in thought.
So he never believed in Xu Shu?
Even at this moment, he was unwilling to kill Qiao Wan, only because he felt that Qiao Wan might be trustworthy...
What about Xu Shu?
……
Xu Shu was discussing marriage with Qiao Wan. Although he was reluctant at first, after hearing several of Qiao Wan's ideas, Xu Shu was convinced by her.
Especially since this matter is very difficult and has many technical deficiencies, it can only be accomplished by relying on Qiao Wan.
But Qiao Wan was very bothered by Xu Shu's interruption of her and Xuan Er's world of two, so she kicked Xu Shu out after a while: "Give me a DDL, and you can come and get it when the time comes."
Xu Shu was a little unsure: "I need to check the results regularly."
"Do I have to give you a chance for a mid-term review?" Qiao Wan rolled his eyes. "Are you writing a paper?"
Xu Shu coughed twice awkwardly and was about to nod when the door in front of him slammed shut.
Inside the house, Qiao Wan's voice came again: "Xu Shi is a talented kid. Train him well. The future arsenal will all depend on him."
Xu Shu's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly realized Qiao Wan's plan, and hurriedly knocked on the door.
But Qiao Wan said reluctantly: "I want to develop feelings with Xuan Er."
Then, an ambiguous sound of rocking a bed was heard from the room.
Xu Shuren was stunned. He quickly took two steps back, then looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he sighed deeply, turned around and left.
I haven’t experienced the enthusiasm of modern people for a long time. It’s really... a bit unbearable.
Xu Shu was still frightened, so much so that when he looked into Mu Jinghua's eyes, he was a little panicked: "Xiao Mujin, why are you here? Do you want to eat?"
Mu Jinghua nodded and asked Xu Shu: "Where did you go just now?"
"I'm going to discuss things with Qiao Wan."
"what's up?"
Xu Shu's eyelids twitched, and he said vaguely: "It's not a big deal, it's just Qiao Jianhong."
Mu Jinghua nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At night, he took advantage of Xu Shu's inattention to find Jiang Xiangwan and Du Xiaocao again: "He said it was about Qiao Jianhong."
"Then why can't he say it in front of you?" Du Xiaocao's attitude was very cold, "He must be hiding something from you."
Jiang Xiangwan hesitated for a while and raised his hand: "In fact, I saw that Mr. Xu and Miss Qiao went to a separate room."
Seeing that Mu Jinghua didn't say anything, he quickly said, "Brother Mu, don't be angry. We all know that Master Xu is not that kind of person."
"But he's a man. He's been with you for two years. Has he ever touched you?" Du Xiaocao asked coldly, "How could a normal man do this? If he didn't touch you, he must have touched someone else."
"If I didn't touch it before, I might not touch it in the future."
Mu Jinghua's heart sank, and he asked hurriedly: "Xu Shu, where is Xu Shu now?"
"It seems to be with my husband." Jiang Xiangwan whispered.
"No." Caidie's voice came from behind the screen, "I saw Master Xu go to the courtyard where Miss Qiao was."
