Chapter 23: The love I want, you can't afford it

"Send more people, and you must find the three young ladies within today!" A black car galloped past.
But at this moment, the rain splashing on the road suddenly splashed the dirty water of the pedestrians passing by.
"It's really unlucky." Mu Xiaotong covered most of her body with her umbrella, looked down at the dirt on her body in a complaining manner, and then looked up, the car was long gone.
"Those people are hell, driving so fast on a rainy day." After a few whispers, she walked directly to a small convenience store.
Why can't I get through? !
Mu Xiaotong was in a convenience store at this time. She took the phone from the convenience store and called a man.
It's a pity that no one has picked up.
Mu Xiaotong spoke for ten minutes, but no one answered.
"Miss, do you need any help?"
The owner of the convenience store is an elderly old woman with a cordial and honest look. Seeing her anxious look, she couldn't help feeling sympathetic and asked kindly.
Mu Xiaotong put down the phone in frustration and smiled at the old woman. "No thanks."
Just as she was about to walk out of the convenience store in frustration, the old woman said meaningfully to her back: "Don't just rush forward, look back occasionally, maybe you can find something better."
Mu Xiaotong gave her a weird look, and then she didn't stay much longer, and left with her foot raised.
Song Ruchen, why didn't he answer her phone? This phone number was opened specifically for her, but why didn't he answer it now?
Mu Xiaotong didn't know where she was going, she knew that everyone in the Ling family was looking for her now. She was very afraid of being found by them, but she was even more afraid of Song Ruchen's betrayal of their love.
She and Song Ruchen are childhood sweethearts and they have known each other since they were young. Although she is the eldest of the Mu family, she has always been bullied by Fang Mei's stepmother since she was a child, and Mu Qingtian's father has never cared.
When she was hiding alone to clean up the wound, Song Ruchen would always sit beside her to take care of her and comfort her.
He said that when he grew up, he would protect her and prevent her from being bullied by the Mu family.
He said that when she came back from studying abroad, he would immediately propose to her.
He said they want to be together for the rest of their lives, and he loves her as his life.
But, where are you Song Ruchen now? !
Mu Xiaotong looked up at the still gloomy sky, dark clouds covered the sky and heavy rain poured down.
Holding a light green umbrella, a petite figure walked aimlessly on this deserted rain channel.
She thought, she must go to Song's house. She must find Song Ruchen and ask in person what happened.
Why would Mu Qingtian say that he is Mu Xiaopei's fiance?
...
"Ruchen, do you think this ring looks good?" A clear and familiar female voice called Mu Xiaotong's confused thoughts back.
She looked towards the precious jewelry store on the right hand side in a daze. In the transparent glass window, a pair of talented men and women were carefully selecting rings.
Mu Xiaotong's gaze became deep, and she stared at that side, not daring to blink her eyes, and walked over there with some vain steps.
"Ruchen, look, I'm just right." The woman excitedly raised the diamond ring on her left ring finger, and clinged to the man's chest like a baby.
"It looks good." The man smiled and praised.
"Ruchen, I am really happy." The woman raised her head and gave a light kiss to the man's face, shyly looking like a newly married little wife.
Seeing that they are so affectionate, the waiter on the side couldn't help but introduce them more hard.
"Sir, it's rare that your beloved wife likes it so much. Why not order this set directly. We can also have your name engraved on the inner ring of the ring. Bless you to grow old."
Mu Xiaotong felt that her head was a little drowsy, and her vision began to blur.
She doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe everything in front of her is real!
This is impossible!
The man is handsome and handsome, and he smiles like a spring breeze, always giving people a feeling of warmth and peace of mind.
"Okay, just this pair of rings." He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xiaopei's forehead.
Mu Xiaopei smiled happily and buried her head on his chest.
The dazed beautiful eyes were shocked at the moment the man kissed the woman's forehead.
He actually kissed her? !
Song Ruchen was really with Mu Xiaopei? !
...
Mu Xiaotong felt pain in her chest, like being hit hard with a hammer, and her heart was about to shatter.
Why did she escape from Ling's house so hard?
Just to see with your own eyes, this man who once said that he loves him forever, betrayed the love she has been watching in front of her face? !
Mu Xiaotong felt very chilling, she refused to accept, why God always treats her unfairly like this! She won't let it go, she won't turn around cowardly and leave.
She Mu Xiaotong wants a clear answer, no matter how cruel it is, she must understand it clearly, otherwise she will not be reconciled!
Song Ruchen, I want you to tell me in person that you have difficulties, and I want you to tell me that the person you have always loved is me.
Suddenly the door of the jewelry store opened automatically, and a woman walked directly toward the couple in front of the counter aggressively.
Such a posture immediately scared the waitress in the shop.
This is clearly like the main house coming to look for him, but the next second, the waitress is even more sure.
The lady who had always been happily dependent on the man was violently pulled by her and fell directly to the ground.
"Ah--!" Mu Xiaopei cried out unexpectedly in pain.
Song Ruchen didn't react either, he looked at Mu Xiaopei intuitively, and wanted to help her up with anxiety.
With a snap, the red and swollen palm was printed on the man's right cheek.
Song Ruchen raised his head angrily.
Where did the come from, dare to do something to him.
But when he turned his head to face this familiar and beautiful face, Song Ruchen also froze.
Why is she here?
Song Ruchen turned his head with a guilty conscience, and didn't dare to look at her hot gaze.
Mu Xiaotong's rippling water eyes are always so clear, dark and agile, and the beauty makes him intoxicated. But now he really didn't dare to look at it directly.
"Explain!" Mu Xiaotong choked up and said two words.
Song Ruchen opened his mouth blankly, but didn't know what to say.
"Hitomi." He only called her name.
"I'll let you explain!" Mu Xiaotong could no longer control her emotions, she slapped him like crazy.
"Tell me, this is not true, tell me quickly!"
Crystal tears overflowed from her eyes.
Mu Xiaotong never likes to cry, no matter how much she has been wronged and how much she has been frightened, she does not cry easily.
But this time she really couldn't help it.
Song Ruchen is sunshine, hope, and warm home to her.
Why lie to her? !
"Song Ruchen, tell me quickly, this is not true."
Tears flowed like they couldn't stop, like crying out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
"Don't cry."
Song Ruchen trembled with his right hand trying to wipe the tears from her cheek.
He was really scared, because this was the second time he saw Mu Xiaotong crying.
"Hitomi, don't cry."
Song Ruchen stood up and was about to hug her into his arms, but the other woman rushed over quickly and pushed Mu Xiaotong away.
"Sister, you are already married to the Ling's family, why do you still pester the Confucian officials. Would the Ling's people allow their Third Young Master's wife to pester other men so shamelessly?" Tao.
Mu Xiaopei stood in front of Song Ruchen, preventing him from approaching Mu Xiaotong.
"Shut up!" Song Ruchen couldn't stand Mu Xiaopei's sarcasm and shouted at her.
Mu Xiaopei looked at him with an aggrieved expression, and two lines of tears flowed out immediately.
"Ruchen, how can you be fierce to me, I am your fiancee, you said you love me." Her sobbing voice looked pitiful.
In a moment of distress, Song Ruchen put his arms around Mu Xiaopei's body and comforted her, "I am not attacking you, just..."
He turned his head to look at Mu Xiaotong half sitting on the ground, his eyes full of repentance.
Mu Xiaotong laughed suddenly, but the smile was worse than crying.
What did she see? ! Is this the love she has been looking forward to? !
It's so ridiculous, Mu Xiaotong, you are really stupid, extremely stupid.
Everyone in the store dared not say anything. The woman in casual clothes was very beautiful, but her now reluctant smile really made people feel pity.
She sneered like this, as if she was laughing at herself and indulging.
"Hitomi Hitomi."
Song Ruchen tightened his heart abruptly and looked at her nervously. He would rather she scold him, cry to him and he would not hear her so self-deprecating and sneer.
Mu Xiaotong slowly sat up from the ground and stubbornly wiped away the tears from her eyes.
He straightened his back and stood in front of them.
"Song Ruchen, I used to fall in love with you only when I was blind, but now you listen to me, you can't afford the love I want!" She said cold and firm.
Song Ruchen's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Mu Xiaotong would be so absolutely unaware of him.
In her clear water eyes, he could not see the past, her attachment to him.
This made his heart more alarmed.
"Hitomi, I..." Song Ruchen hadn't spoken yet.
Mu Xiaopei quickly interrupted him, "Sister, Ruchen is your brother-in-law, because I have his child in my stomach." She proudly said.
child? !
Mu Xiaotong bit her lower lip with blood.
good very good!
It turns out that there are children!
"I wish you a good relationship for a hundred years, and never separate!" He said this one word at a time, suddenly turned around and walked straight out.
Mu Xiaotong told herself not to cry.
Only the cowardly people will shed tears easily, and only those lucky people who are guarded by someone are qualified to shed tears.
And she can only rely on herself.
Without going to get the umbrella, he walked heavily in the rain channel.
Song Ruchen's gaze followed the beautiful figure, he just wanted to take a step to chase her, he couldn't bear to see Mu Xiaotong's sad look.
The woman beside him grabbed him tightly.
"Song Ruchen, don't forget, she is the third wife of the Ling family." Mu Xiaopei stopped Song Ruchen's footsteps.
Did not come forward to follow, only stared at her back tightly until she could no longer see her.
