She did not recognize this man, but she did recognize this hairy boy.
That day when Lu Jinfeng and her went to sell medicinal herbs in the town, they met him and his mother. The two of them had ruthlessly cheated her and almost sold her out.
Later, the boy's mother begged her to save a person and gave her a down payment of a hundred taels of silver. At that time, she didn't even have enough to eat. A hundred taels of silver was extremely important to her. She accepted the money and agreed to treat the patient. After that, she finally met the man the woman wanted her to save.
The man's eyes were filled with despair. He had been poisoned and was begging for death.
Since there was no medicine for her, and the woman could not explain their story, she gave the woman a method to treat the man and decisively left.
Now the boy led the man to his door. Who was this man …?
Just as he was guessing, the man clasped his hands at Chen Mu and said calmly: "I am Ning Yuan, uninvited, please forgive me."
Ning Yuan?
Chen Mu Mu Mu's gaze landed on the male as he sized him up.
It was indeed him, the person that the woman had wanted to save so much.
Chen Mu Mu still remembered that in order to save him, that woman didn't hesitate to destroy her pride and dignity as she kneeled down before him. She held onto a trace of pitiful hope, as though she was holding onto straw.
However, she remembered that this man had looked at her with hatred.
At that time, the man's cheekbones were high and protruding, his chin was thin, and he didn't have much flesh on him. At that time, the man's cheekbones were high and his chin was thin, and he didn't have much flesh on him.
The man these days was at least not as scary as before. He had grown quite a bit of flesh on his body, and he was tall and had the bearing of a model. His face was covered with flesh, and he was thin and had a bit of a chivalrous air to him.
He was in high spirits. Although there was still a bit of sickness between his brows, he was still in good spirits.
Compared to the first time they met, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Mu nodded his head and asked, "What business do you have with me?"
The man nodded, his gaze sweeping across Lu Jinfeng and the rest, and said with some difficulty: "Miss, can I have a word with you?"
Some things involve privacy and are not intended for others to know.
Lu Jinfeng pulled Chen Ergou and said: "Didn't you say to find something to clean up the courtyard? Let's go."
Chen Ergou turned around and glanced at Chen Mu Mu, his eyes filled with worry.
"No worries, I don't think this Hero Ning will hurt me." Chen Mu Mu Mu said.
Only then did Chen Ergou turn around and follow Lu Jinfeng.
After the two of them left, Chen Mu Mu Mu invited Ning Yuan and the boy into the house. The boy looked at Chen Mu Mu eagerly with a face filled with grievance: "Elder sister, we haven't seen each other for more than a month, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"I do." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu replied indifferently.
Although she was very young, her thoughts were very crafty. Even after twenty years, it would still be difficult for her to forget such a negative image.
"Then why are you so distant from me? What did I do to make you unhappy, elder sister?" the boy asked again, looking sad.
The boy had pretty good facial features. Before, he had acted in concert with a woman and looked fierce, but he hadn't tidied himself up much, so he looked sloppy and sloppy. Now that he had changed his clothes and tidied himself up, he looked like a cute, pink boy.
If it wasn't because of the tension in her heart, Chen Mu Mu Mu felt that she should have fallen for this boy if it wasn't her first time meeting him.
Seeing his jade-carved face reveal an expression of grief and grievance, even his heart would soften.
But unfortunately … She had a feeling that something was wrong.
She wasn't a generous woman to begin with. This devilish brat had tormented her enough. She didn't think that she would be able to befriend this little boy.
Don't say that the child is innocent, because he doesn't know his place, adults shouldn't bother with him.
However, she just didn't care. She didn't teach the child well and turned into a devilish child. If she made people hate her, then she would be hateful.
She could not like this boy, nor could she get close to him.
She was not broad-minded at all.
Chen Mu Mu slightly narrowed his eyes, and did not look at the boy, but instead said to Ning Yuan, "Young Hero Ning, if you have anything, feel free to speak your mind."
"Elder sister." The boy did not have good eyesight, and walked over to Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu, "Elder sister, do you hate Xiao Mao?"
"Xiao Mao." Ning Yuan frowned and said to the boy, "Don't disturb Lady Chen."
"I want to talk to my sister." The boy was unwilling to give up and could only stare at Chen Mu Mu Mu. His large eyes that were like grapes stared at Chen Mu, "Elder sister, you still haven't told me, do you hate me?"
Isn't that obvious?
Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at the boy with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Little friend, you're a smart man, do you really want me to say something I don't like to hear?"
The boy felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was dejected as tears threatened to flow out of his eyes.
"Lady Chen, he is still a child." Ning Yuan could not bear it any longer, "A child is like a piece of white paper, they are likely to be injured."
"But he's not a blank slate, and he won't get hurt that easily." Chen Mu Mu shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry, but I still remember the things he teased me about. I can't let it go. Just tell me what you guys want to talk to me about, acting cute is useless."
Even more so if he wanted her to give him a warm hug.
"Xiao Mao, you go out and play first." Ning Yuan felt a headache, and sighed: "I already told you, not everyone would let you go, go outside and relax a little."
The boy raised his head and looked at Chen Mu Mu with a hidden bitterness. He walked towards the door unhappily and went to play with rocks in the courtyard.
That look was like that of a child abandoned by its parents, causing one's heart to ache for it.
Chen Mu Mu Mu heaved a heavy sigh of relief, a million mud horses galloping in his heart.
She used to think that this boy was crazy, but now, looking at him again, she felt even more nervous.
"Xiao Mao's mother passed away." Ning Yuan did not miss the doubt and impatience that flashed past her eyes, and bitterly laughed, "In this world, other than me, no one is willing to get close to him, and seeing you today is an exception."
Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't say anything.
Although she heard Ning Yuan's words, she did not feel that it was lucky.
If she didn't like him, then she didn't like him. Was this devilish brat pitiful or loathsome? It had nothing to do with her.
"Tell me the purpose of your visit." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't want to dwell on the topic of that devilish brat, so he went straight to the point.
"You probably guessed it too." Ning Yuan looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu, and said calmly: "I am here to seek medical treatment."
"Ask for treatment?" Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but laugh. "But your attitude doesn't seem like you're asking for help."
Even though she knew Ning Yuan's intentions the moment he entered the door, when she heard his intentions, she could not help but laugh out loud.
Such a proud and cold patient, she …
He didn't want to be treated.
In any case, his life or death had nothing to do with her, and she did not owe him anything.
"Sorry, I'm used to being like this." Ning Yuan had a good temperament, and said: "I did not mean to be disrespectful to Lady Chen, please do not take offense to it."
Since the other party was already here, there was no need for him to apologize to her. Thus, Chen Mu Mu Mu nodded her head in agreement.
"Just based on the facts, it seems that you look pretty good. I believe you have found the antidote." But since you've already taken the antidote, why are you still looking for me? "
"She said that Miss Chen is a genius doctor. Do you think you can tell that the poison in my body has not been completely removed? If I want to become a normal person, I still need to take the antidote." Ning Yuan said.
"I don't understand." Regarding Ning Yuan's simple request, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu bluntly said, "You should at least say something that I understand."
"I only took half an antidote." Ning Yuan laughed bitterly, "That's why I was able to preserve my life for now, but not for long."
She understood the meaning of his words. Chen Mu Mu was silent for a moment before she asked, "How did your woman die?"
"He was killed by someone in order to get me the antidote." When he mentioned that woman, Ning Yuan's expression became complicated and sad, as if he was extremely fond of her, and also as if he was extremely resentful.
"She's dead." Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at Ning Yuan's expression, "Even if there's something wrong, it should have disappeared along with her death. You shouldn't have any hatred towards her, right?"
"You can tell?" Ning Yuan was a little surprised.
She was only a twelve or thirteen year old girl, and based on her words, she seemed to be very mature.
"The first time I met you, the emotions in your eyes were too strong. It's impossible for me to not pay attention." "She once wanted to tell me your story, but for some reason, she didn't. Now that she's gone, can you all tell her?"
She had to admit that she was quite curious.
Because the woman once said, Ning Yuan was not his husband.
No, she said that Ning Yuan was the husband of someone else.
Was she in love with someone else's husband, a third party?
Being able to love such a strong and lowly third party made Ning Yuan hate them to the point that her life was better than death.
"You're quite straightforward." Seeing the emotions in Chen Mu's eyes, Ning Yuan's mouth twitched. "Actually, Cao Yue is not just anyone else, he is my former wife."
"But I remember her telling me that you were someone else's husband." Chen Mu Mu looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Could it be that you've cheated and fallen in love with another woman and failed her? And then she was so angry that she fed you poison, making you wish you were dead. But afterwards, she regretted it?"
It was quite common for women like her to be driven to madness.
"Not really." Ning Yuan looked at the boy playing in the distance and sighed, "It's not that I have let her down, but she has fallen in love with someone else."
Chen Mu Mu was stunned.
How could this be, with her age and ego, her ability to look at others was not bad, could it be that in her opinion, Cao Yue's feelings for Ning Yuan, were all fake? Was she seeing things?
Seeing her expression, Ning Yuan sighed and told her their story.
So it turned out that Ning Yuan and Cao Yue were originally childhood friends, and since their relationship had grown up, their elders had decided to make them a couple.
Ning Yuan liked Cao Yue, so Cao Yue loved him. He thought that life would go on like this until the end. Who would have thought that one day, an unusually elegant and handsome Meng Jiu would appear.
