It was around ten o'clock when Mo Xubei finished treating his injuries.

Si Tong originally planned to drive the two of them, but Mo Xubei said, "My place is not on the way to the Imperial Examination Hall, I can just call a taxi."

His car was still in the Mei Se parking lot.

Zhang Mengling's car was also there, and she said, "Then I'll go with you."

Si Tong looked at her.

Under Si Tong's silent gaze, Zhang Mengling held back her words for a moment before coming up with an excuse: "It's already ten o'clock, and you still have to go home to take care of the kids."

Si Tong looked at her without saying a word.

“……”Zhang Mengling felt guilty.

Finally, it was Mo Xubei who spoke up: "That's fine."

He said to Si Tong: "Don't worry, I will send her home safely."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Mengling's eyes clearly lit up.

Seeing her like this, Si Tong didn't know what to say, so he could only remind her: "Call me when you get home."

Zhang Mengling nodded repeatedly.

Si Tong drove away quickly. Mo Xubei called a taxi and lit a cigarette while standing on the roadside waiting.

Zhang Mengling stood beside him, watching him silently.

In fact, tonight was not the first time Mo Xubei saved her. More than two months ago, she accompanied her roommate to a blind date.

Unexpectedly, the blind date was a wretched man, who shamelessly pestered Zhang Mengling because she was cute and pretty.

Mo Xubei happened to be in the cafe as well. He came up to her, put his arm around her shoulders, and said that she was his girlfriend. With just a few words, he defeated the creepy man.

She still remembers Mo Xubei that day. He was a little bit ruffian, a little bit bad, and a little bit nondecent. When he looked at her with smiling eyes, she felt clearly as if her heart was pierced by a small needle of honey.

A slight palpitation, with a sweet taste.

Before that day, she had never paid attention to what Mo Xubei looked like.

After that day, he became clearer and clearer in her eyes, from his facial features to his body shape.

The special car arrived very quickly. Along the way, Zhang Mengling and Mo Xubei didn't speak. After more than 20 minutes, the special car stopped downstairs of Zhang Mengling's house.

Zhang Mengling unbuckled her seat belt, pushed open the car door and got out. Before closing the door, she bent down slightly and looked inside the car. Mo Xubei's facial features were hidden in the darkness.

The night was quiet, so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat, fast and loud.

"I'm going back," she said.

Mo Xubei nodded, "Go ahead."

Zhang Mengling slowly closed the car door.

I took a few steps towards the unit door, but the car behind me hadn't started yet.

She suddenly turned around, came back and knocked on the car window.

The car window lowered, revealing Mo Xubei's depressed and handsome face. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know why Aunt Si treated you like that." Zhang Mengling looked at Mo Xubei's wrist wrapped in gauze, and after a moment she raised her eyes with a determined light in her eyes.

"But it's definitely not your fault."

Mo Xubei was stunned.

Isn't it his fault? When Mo Cheng and Mo Zhanyi accompanied him to the hospital, they expressed their concern but also blamed him for revealing what Si Jintong had done more than 20 years ago.

Mo Cheng was at the scene that day and knew that the trigger for all this was that recording.

Without that recording, the Si family would at most send Si Jintong abroad to suffer the hardship of being self-reliant.

It was because of that recording that Si Qingcheng thought of sending Si Jintong to jail. Also because Si Qingcheng wanted to sue Si Jintong, Si Jintong lost her mind and hurt people with a knife, which completely angered Madam Si and Grandpa Si.

This was the first time since the incident that someone firmly told him that he was not wrong.

Even though Zhang Mengling is just an outsider, she does not have a comprehensive view of the problem.

Mo Xubei still felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

After a long while, he opened the car door and got out. He stood in front of Zhang Mengling for a long time, raised his hand and stroked Zhang Mengling's head like a dog, "Go home quickly."

"I'll take you out to play tomorrow." Zhang Mengling looked at him and said seriously, "Follow me, and I'll make you forget all your worries."

Without waiting for Mo Xubei to answer, Zhang Mengling made the decision directly: "It's settled. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned and ran into the unit door.

When I got home, I scanned my fingerprint to unlock the door. As soon as I opened it, I saw Zhang Juncheng leaning against the entrance cabinet with his arms folded, looking like he was waiting for something to happen.

Zhang Mengling was startled and patted her chest: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Juncheng narrowed his eyes. "Who was she talking to downstairs just now? She was so sticky. Did she have a boyfriend?"

"No, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Mengling lowered her head to change her shoes, and a suspicious blush appeared on the tips of her ears.

Zhang Juncheng looked at her and said in a serious tone: "You are already twenty years old. I don't care if you fall in love, but don't do anything reckless."

Zhang Mengling pouted unconvincedly: "I didn't do anything wrong."

Zhang Juncheng: "Mo Xu, you are fourteen years old at Peking University, aren't you messing around?"

"..." Zhang Mengling's eyes widened. "You, you followed me? Are you a pervert?"

Zhang Juncheng rolled his eyes. "You two were talking downstairs just now, openly. I saw it all from upstairs. Do I still need to follow you?"

Zhang Mengling: “…”

Zhang Juncheng: "You are not suitable for him. Stay away from him now before you get caught up in it."

Zhang Mengling: "What's wrong with an unmarried man and an unmarried woman? What's wrong with being fourteen years older? Isn't Third Uncle ten years older than Tongtong? I think they are doing well."

Zhang Juncheng had a headache: "He is the grandson of the Si family. Even if he is not his biological son, his status and position are beyond the reach of ordinary people..."

"What about you?" He was interrupted by Zhang Mengling before he finished speaking, "Don't you also secretly like Yu Shuhe? She is the second daughter of the Yu family, and her status is higher than Mo Xubei. What qualifications do you have to say that about me?"

"..." Zhang Juncheng's face suddenly turned pale, "You sneaked into my room?"

Zhang Mengling snorted, "So what? I'm telling you, you are not allowed to bother me, or I will tell her about your secret collection of Yu Shuhe's photos."

"I will also tell her that you have been working hard to make money through investment for so many years just to be worthy of her, but now that you are on the Forbes list, you dare not confess to her. Let her know that you are a coward!"

Zhang Juncheng's face turned even paler.

Zhang Mengling looked at him with disdain: "I'm not like you. I dare to give it a try no matter who I like. Even if I fail, I won't have any regrets when I look back on it in the future."

"What about you? Yu Shuhe was arranged by her family to go on a blind date. It's such a good opportunity, but you don't even dare to try. When she really finds a fiancé one day, won't you regret not being brave enough now?"

Zhang Juncheng: “…”

I wanted to teach my sister a lesson, but I ended up being taught a lesson instead.

Zhang Juncheng was a little stunned for a moment.

Although he had been hanging out with Yu Hanshen, Fu Yanlin, and Mo Xubei since he was a child, he was always clear about his identity - the son of a servant.

That is why, when he realized that he liked Yu Shuhe, he felt endless inferiority in his heart.

Even though he has been doing well in investment banking in recent years, his inferiority complex still holds him back.
