Arbors intertwined

The living room was very quiet, Yan Junping just watched Qiao Ran and Mu Zixin walk over with cold eyes.

Mu Zixin sat down on the side sofa first, while Qiao Ran picked up the kettle on the tea table and poured a glass of water, and handed it to Yan Junping.

Yan Junping didn't even look at her, but only looked at her daughter: "Xin'er, pack up your things and move home."

"Mom, I lived well here, why did I move back again?" Mu Zixin frowned and said, but couldn't help but look at Qiao Ran, not wanting her to be cold there with a water glass like this.

Qiao Ran pursed her lips, her brows and eyes were still peaceful, she put the water glass on the coffee table in front of Yan Junping, and sat down on another single sofa.

And Yan Junping seemed to have made up her mind to deliberately ignore Qiao Ran, and only stared at her little daughter: "Why go back?! The magazine has already spread all over the place, are you still waiting for your father to catch you!"

Mu Zixin's temper was like that of his father, Mu Yansheng. The two father and daughter were prone to disputes. If this matter got to Mu Yansheng's ears, the family would not be peaceful.

Mu Zixin frowned even more. After a moment of silence, she raised her head and looked at her mother seriously: "Mom, even if Dad comes, this matter will still be the same. I will not leave Qiao Ran."

Yan Junping opened her eyes wide, her chest heaving violently.

She didn't sleep well all night, and she relied on self-persuasion to say that her little daughter was just playing for fun, and she went astray for a while, and she would correct it after going to the door to persuade her.

But Mu Zixin directly shattered such self-hypnosis.

Finally recovering, Yan Junping stood up abruptly, walked over and slapped her: "Nonsense!"

This was the first time that Yan Junping hit Mu Zixin, this slap, not to mention the beaten Mu Zixin, even she froze and was stunned.

Mu Zixin clutched her sore and hot cheeks, feeling a little bit of grievance in her heart, and she couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yan Junping came back to her senses abruptly, looked at her doting little daughter with trembling lips, took a step back and sat down on the sofa while pressing her chest, panting heavily.

A trace of panic flashed in Mu Zixin's eyes, but she was stubborn and hesitated for a while and didn't go forward.

Instead, Qiao Ran took the first step and picked up the water glass and brought it to Yan Junping's mouth, thinking of giving Yan Junping a few pats on the back to make her feel better.

Yan Junping didn't know how to control her anger. Seeing Qiao Ran's movement, she frowned and opened the water glass. The water splashed directly on Qiao Ran's lap. She was so startled that she took a step back and looked at Yan Junping's expression, feeling a little helpless.

"Go away, Xin'er wouldn't be like this without you!"

"Mom!" Mu Zixin hurriedly took a step forward and pulled Qiao Ran away. Seeing that her legs were wet, but luckily it wasn't hot water, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yan Junping, "Mom, it was Qiao Ran who I chased hard." Of course, it has nothing to do with her!"

Yan Junping looked at Mu Zixin sadly: "Xin'er, are you talking to Mom like this because of this woman?!" She pointed at Qiao Ran, her hands visibly trembling.

"I—" Mu Zixin wanted to refute, but was pulled back by Qiao Ran.She glanced at Qiao Ran, pondered for a moment, sat down beside Yan Junping, and took Yan Junping's hand.

Yan Junping was still angry, she pulled her hand back abruptly, but Mu Zixin pulled her back again, turned to look at her little daughter, but was suffocated by the unnatural red on her cheek, and didn't pull away again.

This was exactly the effect Mu Zixin wanted. She gave Qiao Ran a wink and asked her to go away for now, and after Qiao Ran left, she spoke in a nice voice: "Mom, do you still remember the time when you made friends with a foreigner?" Boyfriend, did you ask me anything?"

Yan Junping frowned and wanted to speak, but because she slapped her daughter hard just now, she finally thought about it patiently: "Are you coming back?"

Mu Zixin smiled: "Yes, at that time, Mom, you were very anxious. You didn't want me to marry abroad and never come back."

Yan Junping's brows loosened a little, probably because she was touched by her heart: "I said that person was unreliable at that time, and this relationship is not good. You should listen to Mom, this time—"

"Mom." Mu Zixin interrupted Yan Junping, still firmly grasping her own pace, "Did you still worry about my sadness when we broke up?"

Yan Junping nodded: "Yes, you are outside alone, no one can talk about your thoughts."

Seeing Yan Junping coming along her own way, Mu Zixin smiled and said, "What did I say then?"

Yan Junping was stunned for a moment.

She stared at Mu Zixin in a daze, and Mu Zixin also looked at herself calmly.

At that time, Mu Zixin's tone was very indifferent.

"Anyway, it's just to pass the time. If it's not interesting, just throw it away. I haven't met anyone interesting since I was a child."

Yan Junping thought it was just casual talk.

"Did you like women then?" Yan Junping stared at Mu Zixin, wanting to see something on her daughter's face.

Mu Zixin nodded calmly, taking the whole matter on herself.

"How could I give birth to such a pervert like you!" Yan Junping's face was full of pain, and she stretched out her hand to pat Mu Zixin, "What do you tell me to do, what to do!"

There was too much movement here, Qiao Ran couldn't help coming out of the studio, and stood at the door looking at Mu Zixin with a complicated expression.

Such a comfortable life made her almost forget how her parents would react when they found out.

If it was just insulting and harsh criticism to her, Qiao Ran was already ready to face and accept it, but such a heartbroken and tearful mother made Qiao Ran not know what to do.

Qiao Ran looked at Mu Zixin, with sadness in her eyes.

Even though Mu Zixin knew that her mother could scold anything because she was in a hurry, and had even done psychological training earlier, her heart still hurt badly when she heard it.

But Mu Zixin is still firm: "Mom, I have hesitated and struggled, but I can't help it. I don't like those people." She put the choice entirely on herself, even without Qiao Ran. , it is impossible for her to fall in love with a man.

And what about the facts?Mu Zixin never thought about it, at the beginning.

But what if you think about it?The fact is that she fell in love with Qiao Ran, and Qiao Ran was a woman.

Liking someone has nothing to do with gender, but Mu Zixin doesn't want his parents to blame Qiao Ran for this. Mu Yansheng's possible actions about this, Mu Zixin, the daughter who resembles him the most, can completely imagine.

Yan Junping looked at Mu Zixin with her eyes wide open, and wanted to speak, but she couldn't speak, and passed out.

Mu Zixin supported her mother in panic, let her lean on the sofa, and looked up at Qiao Ran helplessly.

At this moment, she is not the second Miss Mu who is fully able to control the situation in her hands and is confident and flamboyant, she is just a daughter who is at a loss.

Qiao Ran immediately walked over and helped to lay Yan Junping down on her back, with her feet raised on the armrest of the sofa, pressing down on the person.

Mu Zixin stood aside wanting to help but didn't know what to do, looked at Qiao Ran but didn't dare to interrupt her.

At this time, the doorbell rang again.

Mu Zixin glanced at Yan Junping, then at Qiao Ran, stomped her feet and ran to the door to open it.If it was Mu Yansheng who came to the door this time, she really couldn't help it.

Fortunately, it was Mu Zixiao who came in this time.

She also had an anxious look on her face, as soon as she entered the door and didn't see anyone clearly, she asked, "Zi Xin, is mom over here?!"

After asking, Mu Zixin had already seen the answer on Mu Zixin's face: "What's the matter?" If the person had already come over, what's going on with the current atmosphere?

"Mom passed out." Mu Zixin hurriedly dragged Mu Zixiao to the living room, "Sister, what should I do? Yes, call the hospital!"

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and anxiously dialed, but she couldn't hold it steady and dropped it to the ground.

She immediately picked it up and unlocked it again, but she heard Yan Junping's weak voice: "No need."

Hearing the sound, both Mu Zixin and Mu Zixiao surrounded her, and Qiao Ran took advantage of the situation to stand up and step aside.

"Mom, why did you come by yourself? How do you feel now?" Mu Zixiao said anxiously,

Yan Junping still looked a little pale, but she pushed away Mu Zixin's hand, and pulled Mu Zixiao as if she was about to stand up.

"Mom, sit down a little longer and be careful." Mu Zixin's eyes almost turned red with anxiety.

But Yan Junping didn't even want to look at her: "I'm old and I can't control you, you should figure out how to explain to your father!" After saying that, she supported Mu Zixiao and was about to walk towards the door.

Qiao Ran wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Mu Zixiao's gaze.

Mu Zixiao glanced at Yan Junping's expression, shook her head and turned to Mu Zixin: "Zixin, mom is not feeling right now, so I'll go back with mom first." For the rest, she couldn't say anything for a while, if her parents knew that she would have Knowing that, I'm afraid it will make things worse.

Mu Zixin didn't say a word, seeing Yan Junping not wanting to see herself, the luster in her eyes dimmed a lot, so she nodded and made a phone call gesture to Mu Zixiao, waiting for the phone call.

With the sound of closing the door, the room fell completely silent.

The half-eaten breakfast in the dining room was already cold, just like the atmosphere in the room now.

Mu Zixin sat down on the sofa with her head down, motionless, Qiao Ran walked over, sat gently beside her, and put her arms around her shoulders.

It took a long time for Mu Zixin to raise her head, her eyes were very red, "Qiao Ran, I don't want to make my mother mad."

She thought that when she prepared everything and confessed to her parents, she could argue with reason.

She can show a lot of relevant information to her parents and tell them that this is just a minority group, not a mistake, let alone a disease.She can achieve complete independence with a solid economic foundation, even her parents can't say no to her, and there is nothing they can do about her.

She also considered that this matter would make her parents sad, but she subconsciously ignored it.

Yan Junping fainted from anger in front of her, something she didn't even want to think about.

There is also scolding that has never been seen before, that slap in the face, that perverted sound.

Qiao Ran reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Mu Zixin's eyes, and put her head next to Mu Zixin's, expressing her companionship with a silent hug.

The atmosphere calmed down a bit, and the two remained silent for a long time, Mu Zixin seemed to be more energetic.

She wiped her eyes and grinned: "Qiao Ran, this matter must not be hidden, you have to know some possible situations first."

Qiao Ran nodded, her back straightened and her eyes fixed.

"With my dad's personality, he won't come to the door directly like my mother. I will go home and talk to him for up to three days. The worst case..." Her smile was a little difficult, "I will be locked up at home .”

Qiao Ran showed a worried look.

But Mu Zixin skipped this: "Let's talk about you first. Qiao Ran, someone may come to you later, or they may say some nasty things, you—"

Qiao Ran shook Mu Zixin's hand: [What I said will not change. ]

At that time, she accepted Mu Zixin, she once said.

I won't leave unless you ask.

Mu Zixin was stunned for a moment, and finally a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes: "With your support, I won't collapse." She thought for a while, and then pointed out, "Also, this magazine is well distributed across the country, Qiao Ran , and your parents might see it too."

Qiao Ran nodded thoughtfully: [I will tell my sister, and I will deal with my parents. ]

"Well, I have already explained to Yanjie that Mingyue's business is doing well now, and several of them have their own backgrounds. If it doesn't work, you just go to them. Dad probably won't do too much to them." Thinking of this A stern look flashed in Mu Zixin's eyes, "After this matter is settled, I will definitely take out the person who took the picture and give him a lesson!"

Because of this photo, her plan was completely disrupted, and the prepared foreshadowing was not used in time, which was more than half a year ahead of schedule.

The author has something to say: Hey...
