Chapter 1558 1678, I Will Always Wait for You (19)

Mu Ningjing glanced at the black car following her through the rearview mirror. It was the two bodyguards. Yesterday, she was suddenly pushed against the wall by Yu Anna, and the two men fell from the sky. Mu Ningjing realized that someone was secretly protecting her.

Later, she noticed that they would follow her in and out, but they were silent and could not be found without special observation. They only appeared when she needed them.

Yesterday, she asked them who arranged for them to follow her. They said it was Shen Tingxi, and they had been protecting her secretly for a long time.

How many things did this man do for her silently?

When Mu Ningjing thought of Shen Tingxi, her heart was warm. When she thought of him still in the detention center, her heart was gradually moistened.

Seeing that Mu Ningjing didn't speak, Ju Qiulan hesitated for a few seconds and said, "They seem to be Xier's people."

Mu Ningjing came back to her senses, pressed her sore eye sockets, and said "hmm" softly.

The car fell into silence again, and this silence lasted until the two sat down in the private room of the coffee shop.

Mu Ningjing was not good at speaking, and she had a bad relationship with Ju Qiulan, so she didn't take the initiative to speak.

When the coffee came, Ju Qiulan took the initiative to speak again, "I just met Yu Anna."

Mu Ningjing didn't know why Ju Qiulan suddenly reported this to her. She said "hmm" and lowered her head to stir the coffee quietly.

Ju Qiulan was used to being arrogant. Even if she wanted to ease the relationship with Mu Ningjing, she felt very embarrassed because the other party didn't speak. She cleared her throat uncomfortably and said, "That night... Xier and Yu Anna were not together."

"Hmm?" Mu Ningjing looked up at Ju Qiulan in shock. In fact, she understood what Ju Qiulan said, but she was afraid that she had misunderstood.

Ju Qiulan thought of the absurd things she had done, and couldn't look directly into Mu Ningjing's clear eyes. She looked away uncomfortably, "That night when I drugged her, Xi'er didn't touch Yu Anna."

Mu Ningjing's heartbeat began to accelerate, joy filled her heart, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly. After knowing that Mu Yiqing was her father yesterday, she was still thinking at night that she and Yu Anna were half-sisters, and her sister was with her beloved man. She felt awkward and uncomfortable thinking about it.

I didn't expect to hear such good news today. Mu Ningjing was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She took a sip of coffee, but it was too hot, so she put it down in a hurry. I don't know if it was because of the heat or excitement, but tears accumulated and rolled in her eyes.

Ju Qiulan looked at Mu Ningjing's reaction and felt more and more guilty, but she couldn't admit her mistakes for the past. With her personality, especially in front of someone she once looked down on, she couldn't do it.

He could only explain what happened that night as clearly as possible, "Xi'er was unconscious that night, so he didn't know whether they had sex afterwards. It all depended on Yu Anna's words. The blood on the bed was caused by Yu Anna cutting her palm..."

After a pause, Ju Qiulan took a sip of coffee and continued, "I gave you the medicine. It's very strong. I don't know how Xi'er survived..."

Ju Qiulan sighed softly, "Maybe this is the fate between you."

Mu Ningjing lowered her eyes and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Thank you."

Ju Qiulan was slightly stunned when she heard the word "thank you". She had always been against Mu Ningjing and Shen Tingxi, and had done many things to break them up, especially the drugging, which was planned by her. Now she said thank you to her?

Mu Ningjing's generosity made Ju Qiulan feel that he was particularly small-minded and felt ashamed.

The old face turned red unconsciously, and Ju Qiulan picked up the coffee and lowered his head to sip it to hide his discomfort.

Mu Ningjing saw the difference in Ju Qiulan, and also felt that Ju Qiulan was trying to make peace with her. The tone of her voice and the explanation of the drugging were all attitudes.

Ju Qiulan was an elder, and she was used to being strong-willed. It was basically impossible to ask her to apologize to her.

Mu Ningjing couldn't say that she didn't mind the past at all, because it would be against her will.

But Ju Qiulan was Shen Tingxi's mother. Hu Xiner said that Ju Qiulan occupied a very important position in Shen Tingxi's heart. For the man who loved her deeply and whom she also loved deeply, she was willing to try her best to ease the relationship between the two. Not to say that they were harmonious, but at least not tit-for-tat.

After calming down her inner excitement, Mu Ningjing said softly, "Auntie, in order to prevent Tingxi from being embarrassed between us, let's try our best to treat each other in a friendly manner?"

Ju Qiulan looked up at Mu Ningjing. The girl's eyes were clear without a trace of impurities. There was no flattery, only true feelings.

The more dangerous the moment, the clearer a person's heart can be seen. When Xi'er was in the most difficult time, Mu Ningjing did not choose to leave, but put aside the past and eased the relationship with her. If she was not sincere, she would not be able to do this.

Before, Ju Qiulan just felt guilty towards Mu Ningjing. At this moment, she had begun to regret what she had done. She had hurt someone who was sincere to Xi'er without leaving any room.

Ju Qiulan looked away, suppressed the bitterness in her eyes, and pretended to take a sip of coffee calmly before speaking, "Okay."

The two sat quietly for a while. Mu Ningjing hesitated for a moment, and couldn't resist the longing in her heart. Finally, she spoke, "Auntie, can you help me see Tingxi?"

Originally, she could ask Huo Yanqing for help, but Huo Yanqing was busy with Shen Tingxi's affairs these days, and he also had his own company, so he had less time to spend with Xin'er. She couldn't be selfish enough to cause trouble for him again.

Ju Qiulan had not seen Shen Tingxi since he was arrested. Shen Jiuyan had just recovered from a serious illness, and he needed to deal with the undercurrents in the gang, and he also needed to investigate Xier's affairs. She didn't want to add burden to Shen Jiuyan, fearing that he would be overworked, so she didn't mention it.

This was the first time Mu Ningjing asked her for help, and Ju Qiulan didn't know what to do. Maybe if she shamelessly went to find someone, someone would give her some face, right?

Thinking of this, Ju Qiulan said, "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee that I can see him."

Mu Ningjing nodded, "Yeah."

...

Mu Ningjing received Ju Qiulan's call the next morning, and the two agreed to meet at the door of the police station.

When Mu Ningjing arrived, Ju Qiulan was already waiting there.

"You can't stay too long, just keep it short." Ju Qiulan said.

Mu Ningjing suppressed her excitement and nodded.

The two of them went in, and a man in uniform led them all the way to the door of the room where Shen Tingxi was detained, "Only one person can go in, and the time cannot exceed ten minutes."

Ju Qiulan was a little disappointed, "Two people can't do it?"

The uniformed man frowned and shook his head with an embarrassed look.

Ju Qiulan looked back at Mu Ningjing, "You go in, tell Xi'er not to worry, his father is trying to find a way, and he will be able to get him out soon."
