C45

For some reason, Xu Meiyu felt an enormous pressure.

Under the old tutor's deterrence, no one dared speak. The harmonious and lively atmosphere from earlier was immediately broken.

On the Uncle Fu's side, the call to Lin Muhan just happened to be connected. The old man snatched the call and put it by his ear, "Brat, where's Xue Xue Xue?"

Lin Muhan, who was about to get off work, frowned when he heard this. "Isn't she always home?"

"In the afternoon, she said that she would go out. She hasn't come back yet and no one answered her phone. Hurry up and get someone to look for her. If not, then don't come back to me either!" The old man angrily hung up the phone and at the same time told the Uncle Fu to immediately send someone to look for him.

If not for Uncle Fu stopping him, he would have gone out by himself.

Seeing this, the others naturally couldn't sit around either. They all went out to find some people to leave.

Xu Meiyu also anxiously pulled Lin Junhao into the carriage. Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly took out her phone and dialed Meng Yuyan's number.

"Yu Yan, what did you do after you left this place today?" The moment the call connected, Xu Meiyu immediately asked.

Meng Yuyan was a little displeased by her tone, but thinking that he still needed her help later, he suppressed his anger and said, "I'm not in a good mood, I'll be going out with friends to play."

"Really?" Xu Meiyu couldn't help but ask back.

Originally, he did not care much. However, after being questioned like this, Meng Yuyan became even more curious, "Aunt, what happened?"

"Michelle is missing!" Xu Meiyu said irritably, "Are we looking for people all over the city?"

"She's missing?" Meng Yuyan was shocked at first when she heard this news, but very quickly a smile surfaced on her lips, "It's good that she's missing, it's best that she never comes back!"

"Meng Yuyan, the old man is extremely nervous right now. If you were the one who did this, you better release her immediately. Don't make me take the blame for you!" Xu Meiyu became more suspicious after hearing her words.

This time, she accused Meng Yuyan wrongly, and after asking for a long time, she still could not find out what happened, and in the end, after Meng Yuyan said a few words, she hung up the phone.

"Wife, are we really going to find that damned girl?" Lin Junhao asked impatiently.

Xu Meiyu did not want to either, but if he did not express anything now, not only would the old man feel bad, he would also make him hate his second wife.

He glared fiercely at Lin Junhao, "They have already driven away, what are you still standing there in a daze for?"

"Whether that girl lives or dies has nothing to do with us." Lin Junhao started the car unhappily.

"It has nothing to do with us, but it has to do with that damn old man of yours!"

"Let's go out for a walk!"

"..."

Compared to their carelessness, after hearing the news, Lin Muhan seemed to have an unprecedented Leng Cen on him.

She's missing!

Where could she go at such a critical juncture?

He anxiously took out his phone and opened the tracking software, but did not see anything for a long time. When he saw her path today, Lin Muhan frowned.

"CEO?" Secretary Lee reminded Lin Muhan in a small voice as he looked at Lin Muhan whose aura had changed after receiving the call.

"Secretary Lee!" Lin Muhan's voice revealed an unprecedented coldness and sternness, "Follow this route and let people ask if they remember what the Madam did. Come back and report everything to me!"

"Yes sir!" Secretary Lee agreed.

Only the heavens knew, he only wanted to stay away from this ice mountain. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be frozen into an ice cube as well.

After instructing Secretary Lee, Lin Muhan frowned as he picked up his phone and dialed Mi Xue's number. It was as the old man had said, no one answered.

He frowned slightly. What happened to her?

She remembered that when she left the house in the morning, she seemed to be in a good mood.

No matter what, he still went downstairs quickly and started the car to chase Michelle's location on the map.

— —

Night had fallen, but Michelle seemed to have no sense of smell. She was in a daze, not knowing how long she had been walking or what time it was that she had been wandering aimlessly on the streets.

Her mother's favorite house had been sold by her, and now her whole heart was filled with guilt and memories. She had no time to think about anything else.

The phone in her pocket rang many times, but she had no desire to get it.

In the end, she felt that this voice was too irritating, so she simply turned off her phone.

As the lanterns lit up, the neon lights lit up.

The night in the city was still bustling, but this had nothing to do with her.

Along the way, the pedestrians rushed back to reunite with their families. Mi Xue just watched quietly, but her tears suddenly dropped.

She didn't even have a home!

"Squeak!"

An ear-piercing sound of brakes could be heard as a black car stopped in front of Michelle.

She did not move, but continued to sit by the side of the road with her head lowered, letting her tears flow down her face.

A pair of bright leather shoes appeared before Michelle's eyes. She didn't even bother to raise her head. All she wanted to do was to let herself live in her own world.

"Xue Xue Xue, why are you here alone? What happened?"

A gentle and eager voice called out, causing Michelle to raise her head.

"Li Cheng!"

Just when she felt that the world was about to collapse and she was about to lose herself in that dark and sorrowful world, Gu Licheng's voice pulled her back to reality.

Looking at the tear-filled Mi Xue, Gu Licheng's heart ached for her. He squatted beside her and pulled her into his embrace.

"Did Lin Muhan and his family bully you!" Gu Licheng asked coldly, his body releasing a trace of violent Qi.

Michelle shook her head. "No, no!"

"Then what happened?" Gu Licheng didn't believe it at all, he only thought that Mi Xue was doing it for Lin Muhan's sake.

"Wrong, all wrong!" Mi Xue didn't answer her question. She just muttered to herself, "It was all wrong. It was wrong from the beginning …"

Gu Licheng frowned, the anger on his face became even stronger!

After helping Michelle up from the ground, he pulled her towards the car. "Let's go and settle our scores with him!"

Michelle was still in a daze and had followed him.

But when she heard she was going to look for Lin Muhan, she immediately broke away, looked at Gu Licheng again, and her eyes became clear, "Li Cheng, I just suddenly felt that I shouldn't have done that, it has nothing to do with him."

"It has nothing to do with him!" Gu Licheng's mind was full of thinking about how Lin Muhan bullied Mi Xue.

"Li Cheng, it doesn't matter if I say it, it just doesn't matter!" Mi Xue stubbornly looked at Gu Licheng.

Seeing her gaze, Gu Licheng nodded.

"Michelle, whatever happens, where do you want to go now?" Gu Licheng was not willing to stay on that topic.

Mi Xue's expression turned gloomy. "Where are we going?" Where can I go?

Seeing her confused expression, the doubt in Gu Licheng's heart gradually surfaced. He probingly asked, "How about I send you back?"

"No!" Michelle refused firmly.

At that moment, if she went back to see Lin Muhan, she would involuntarily think of a house.

His heart ached.

Right now, she only had one thought in mind, escape.

"Why don't you go to my place first?" Gu Licheng proposed again.

Mi Xue raised her head and looked at him. The confession he made in the coffee shop was still in her ears. She immediately shook her head. "No need. I'll take care of myself. Don't worry about me!"

Don't worry about me.

These four simple words were like sharp swords that pierced Gu Licheng's broken heart.

He looked at Michelle with bitterness in his eyes and whispered, "How can I leave you alone?"

Mi Xue slightly paused, but just as she was about to refuse, Gu Licheng said with a smile. "Didn't we agree on it, are we friends? Since we're friends, then don't reject my good intentions. "

Friend, this is the definition Michelle gave to their relationship.

But hearing Gu Licheng say these words with a bit of sorrow in his voice, Mi Xue finally understood a little.

Originally, she had decided not to go. However, after hearing his words, if she refused, it wouldn't be so easy to say it. Furthermore, she really had no other place to go tonight.

"Let's go!" Gu Licheng reached out and grabbed her wrist, preparing to leave.

Pow!

Suddenly, Gu Licheng's wrist was grabbed, with a tug, his hand separated from Mi Xue's hand.

Michelle, who was still in a daze, had been pulled into a strange embrace.

Just as she was about to struggle, the familiar scent of shower gel, accompanied by the faint smell of tobacco, made her heart feel at peace.

"Did I say it before? Only I can hold your hand!" An ice-cold voice came from the top of his head, and the temperature in his embrace seemed to drop.

A great pressure descended upon Gu Licheng as he reached out his hand. He did not expect Lin Muhan to actually appear.

"I also said that as long as you don't make her happy, I will definitely take her away!" Gu Licheng looked at Lin Muhan without fear.

Their gazes met, creating shocking waves.

No one was willing to give up. No one said anything, but their eyes gave it their first fight.

"I also said that I wouldn't give you such an opportunity!" Lin Muhan waved his blade over.

"It seems that what I saw was not the case?"

"Everyone's home has their own contradictions. Could it be that Mr. Gu has to even meddle in my family's trivial affairs?"

"If it's related to her, then it's no small matter!"

"..."

The two of them surrounded Mi Xue. Each of their words would not yield to the other.

But Mi Xue could see that Gu Licheng was at a disadvantage.

She glanced at the two men for a moment, and finally stood up, "It's getting late, Li Cheng, you can go back."

Gu Licheng stubbornly looked at Mi Xue, at Mi Xue who did not leave Lin Muhan's embrace for even a second.

He suddenly began to laugh at himself. He didn't know what he was expecting!

Didn't he already know the outcome?

The wound in his heart seemed to have been torn open again. It was so painful that it was difficult for him to even breathe. There were also many words that were stuck in his throat.

Mi Xue did not look at him anymore. Instead, she nudged Lin Muhan, who was standing beside her with a stern expression and the word "Cold" written on his face, "It's getting late. I'm a little hungry. Let's go back!"

"Alright!" Lin Muhan proudly raised his head, as if he had obtained the greatest victory in this battle.

Mi Xue heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she sat in the car, Lin Muhan did not start the car immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at her.
