C174

At the last gas station near Mu City, I got off the car with 99% of me in my arms. Peng Haobai's car was waiting for me there.

He lit a cigarette, and when I asked him for one, he looked at me.

If there is anything, try your best not to call me. Use the phone that I have prepared for you to call Ye Fei.

Peng Haobai smiled a little shamelessly, "More or less."

"What did he say to you?" Did you get into trouble? "

Seeing my anxious look, Peng Haobai raised an eyebrow: "Although I am not as powerful as you, Mu Huainan, I am not that weak either.

"That's good."

"I didn't want you to contact me because I'm afraid that Mu Huainan would set up eyes around me and monitor my phone and the place I go in and out. This would be very disadvantageous to you."

I lowered my head. "Thank you for everything."

"Don't misunderstand, I only did it because he was ninety-nine. After all, I watched him grow up and was considered half a foster son of mine. Naturally, I had to pay more attention to his safety."

I know Peng Haobai said that, but I don't want to feel that I owe him another favor.

"What did Mu Huainan say to you?"

He was expressionless as he gazed at the farthest star in the sky.

"You and I have lived together for seven years, and you have raised a seven year old child in the orphanage in my name. What do you think Mu Huainan, as a man, would ask me?"

"Peng …"

"He just asked me, seven years ago in the hospital, when I saved you, did the child get knocked out?"

"Then how did you answer that?!" I was anxious and extremely nervous.

"Of course, I said I didn't. I even described the scene where the flesh was badly mutilated to him. After all, the scene that I personally created could be said to be extremely detailed."

My heart tightened. "Then... How did he react? "

Peng Haobai suddenly asked me.

"How do you expect him to react?"

I was stunned by his question.

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't mean anything. I just wanted to tease you."

"You're still in the mood to joke under these circumstances?"

"Alright, stop wearing a straight face, I'll tell you." Peng Haobai put his hands in his pockets. Among them, he spoke up with a deadpan expression, "At that time, his face was very ugly, and he coughed for a long time. It seems that after I described it, he almost fainted from the shock."

Peng Haobai said it easily, but I was afraid of this reaction from Mu Huainan.

He had only just been discharged from the hospital not long ago, so he couldn't stand the excitement to begin with. However, Peng Haobai had to even describe the scene that he could not endure the most to him.

It would be terrible if he got angry and was about to go to the hospital.

"Why are you telling him this?" I'm not happy.

"Why, my Miss Lu, are you still thinking about that old thing?" If he finds out where you and Jiu Jiu are, then how will he handle it? You'll see if he's worth your heartache! "

After saying that, Peng Haobai climbed into the car without looking back, and drove away.

I was suddenly helpless and desperate in the night.

I let Peng Haobai down, and now he has saved me, causing Mu Huainan to misunderstand that ninety nine was his child. Even though he casually said that he was alright, both he and I knew that if Mu Huainan found out that he helped me again, Mu Huainan would definitely not let him off.

He left so resolutely, how can he be angry? I was still concerned about Mu Huainan even at this point, and was just thinking about it. He insisted on helping me, but I insisted on not helping him, and pushed him away. However, it was an act that no one was willing to give in to.

It is so now, and it will be so in the future.

I was relieved to see that the guy in the back of the car was asleep. I knocked on the driver's window and motioned for him to come out. I wanted to talk to him.

I know that Peng Haobai has sent you to protect us, mother and son, but I do not want to involve him in this. Go back to the Mu City and tell him that I will borrow this car from you, and he will definitely return it to you in the future. Regarding this matter, the people of the perfumery are completely fine.

After all, they are from the perfumery. Listening to the words of the Owner, this is a rule in the underworld.

"Miss Lu, I really can't help you with this. Young Master said that you must be safely sent to a designated location, otherwise, I will suffer."

"But if you bring me back, I'm afraid even your perfumery will not be at peace."

The man looked at me, perhaps thinking I was right, and hesitated.

But in the end, she still rejected me.

"I'm sorry Miss Lu, I can't go against young master's wishes."

"Alright then." I pointed to the car. "Then get in."

As the man turned around, I quietly picked up an empty beer bottle by the flowerbed and took a deep breath. Taking advantage of the moment when he walked into the shadows and the light wasn't on, I quickly stepped forward and slapped him hard on the head.

Trembling in the darkness, I watched the man stagger around, pointing a trembling finger at me, and then fall back.

Breathing hard, I got into the car with the bottle and drove away.

Someone at the gas station would find him in a few hours.

Even though I grew up with Mu Huainan, this is the first time I have ever personally done something like hurting others.

This was too much of a test of one's endurance.

My hand on the steering wheel was shaking, and my palms were full of sweat. I was a little relieved to see the 99-year-old asleep in the rearview mirror.

As long as I leave, this matter will have nothing to do with the Peng Family. I owe Peng Haobai too much, and I won't be able to continue this matter.

Mu City couldn't go back, and she couldn't go back to her home that she had gotten used to living in for the past few days. Just like that, I sped aimlessly along the highway. Looking up at the green sign, I saw the name of a city that I liked, so I drove straight down the highway.

I saw a name, Joy City.

After paying the toll, I parked at the exit of the highway and walked for half an hour in the dark with 99 in my arms before finally getting a lift.

Although they are under his command, they can still be easily found by the two families. I don't want anyone to find them, so I might as well just leave the car and take a taxi.

The most famous part of Happy Town was the hot spring. The driver asked us where we were going. I was unfamiliar with the place, so I told him the name of the hot spring on the billboard I saw at the entrance to the highway.

Joy City Hot Springs.

With a simple name and a simple atmosphere, I opened a hotel with my own ID card.

Mu Huainan probably did not know that I would be here, so he was not able to find me for quite some time.

Instead of risking being caught by the police with a fake ID card, you don't need a real ID card, you just have to be ready to leave at any time.

However, it will be very hard on me.

I don't know if it is a grade or not, there is nothing to worry about. Jiu Jiu always sleeps very sweetly, I watched him pass through the latter half of the night by the bedside. At dawn, he woke up biting his finger and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."

In bed, I helped him change his clothes. At the Hot Springs Inn, he changed into a Japanese nightgown. I think he inherited his father's genes.

"Mom, where are we?"

"Mom will bring you out to play." As I led him along the corridor, people I met always had the urge to turn around and look at him more, but really, the more the boy grew, the more his father seemed to be there.

The kind of charm that made people unable to look away.

"Has Jiujiu never bathed in a hot spring before? Mom will take you to play a lot of things that I've never seen before, okay? "

I scoot over and hold my arm, and the little guy does the same with Mom.

"Anyway, I'll be happy doing anything with mom!"

The breakfast in the hotel was pretty good. It was well-nourished and looked quite clean. After we ate our fill, I brought the little fellow to soak in a hot spring.

Coming here by coincidence was a blessing. After all, I had been under too much pressure recently and needed something to relax me.

As his body was immersed in the warm hot spring, it was as if all the cells in his body had suddenly opened up.

I turned my head to look at Jiu Jiu, who was standing beside me.

"Comfortable?" I asked him.

"Yes." As soon as he opened his mouth, white mist came out of it. He thought it was funny, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed as he spat. He was extremely happy.

Little things always made him happy. In the end, no matter how mature he was, he was still a child.

"Mom." Jiu Jiu suddenly asked me, "Why didn't Uncle Peng come with us?"

However, it wasn't strange for the child to ask Peng Haobai. After all, after all these years, during the growth process of ninety nine, the accompanying he gave was much more important than the child's biological father.

"Your Uncle Peng has matters to attend to and can't come."

Xiao Jiu pouted, "Could it be that Uncle Peng doesn't like 99, so he didn't come to see 99 for so long?"

"How could that be?" I held him and sat on my lap, pinching his little feet. "My '99th' is so cute, how could anyone not like it?"

"My biological parents don't like me."

When he said this, there was a sense of disappointment in his eyes, but it was fleeting. He quickly added in a sensible manner, "Mom, I don't mean that."

I held him, feeling mixed emotions.

"Mom, I only recognize you as my mother and only like my mother Lu. Even if other mothers come looking for me in the future, I definitely won't go with them."

I looked at his serious face and reached out to scratch his nose.

"Idiot."

He started to play with the water, and I let him down and watched quietly, and when he was done, I took him ashore to buy him a drink, and the little guy, knowing that soda and soda were bad for him, asked for two glasses of milk.

"Ninety-nine." I helped him wipe the white foam from his mouth. "You don't, you hate your real parents because they left you."

He held his head high and thought about it seriously.

He shook his head.

"I hate them because I know that perhaps they will have their own difficulties too."

"Then will you forgive them?"

Xiao Jiu looked up for a long time but still couldn't find an answer.

Probably forgive the word, but it's too esoteric for a kid his age.

"Mommy, do you want 99 to forgive them?"

I smiled. "Of course I do."

"Then I will forgive them! In any case, I'll only listen to your mother! "

"Good girl."

"Mom." Little Jiu Jiu came over again. "When are you going to find me a father?"

I choked on his words.

"If you can't find it, I think it's pretty good for Uncle Peng."

I almost spat out a mouthful of milk.

"Your Uncle Peng …"

"I think he likes you a lot!"

"Who said that!" I pinched his cheek half-jokingly. "Oh shit, which one of your eyes did you see?"

"He said it." Xiao Jiu swallowed a mouthful of milk and slowly replied: "He asked me what kind of person I want to marry when I grow up. I said that I will only marry Auntie Lu and she would hit my butt and say that you are her wife and I can't take it away."

After saying that, she raised her head and asked me naively, "Mom, why didn't you tell me why you were the other person's wife? I won't be jealous! Rest assured! "

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Alright, quickly finish drinking your milk and go soak in the hot spring. Remember, you can't trust the words of your Uncle Peng, they're all just for fun!"

"I know, Mom!"
