Su Xing and Shen Jingyu exchanged a glance, and he nodded slightly. With a smile on her lips, Su Xing got into Mu Beiyao's car.
Mu Beiming couldn't help but nudge Shen Jingyu with his shoulder. "So, this heroic rescue completely won over your sister?"
Shen Jingyu shot him a glance. "You better watch out for your sister in the future!"
What was that about? Mu Beiming felt inexplicably belittled.
Shen Jingyu didn’t elaborate, but his instincts told him that Mu Beiyao's behavior just now was the prelude to something troublesome.
Sure enough, in the car ahead, Mu Beiyao went straight for the jugular!
"Bao Er, did your man tell you why you’re going through all this trouble?"
Su Xing replied nonchalantly, "I guessed it even without him saying anything. That Lawrence wants to pursue my mom! He must have some influence in Western Country and decided to start with me!"
"But did you know, Mu Beiyao? He’s had his eye on me for many years. Thinking about it now gives me chills; a person like him is terrifying. If he really targeted my mom, she wouldn’t stand a chance against him!"
"Huh? How did it involve Auntie?"
Mu Beiyao was unaware of Lawrence's intentions.
He Xiaoqing indeed reacted unusually; as an outsider, she wouldn’t inquire so deeply. Between Su Xing and her, they usually shared everything.
"But before you talk about others, let me tell you something: you’re no match for Shen Jingyu either! It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already been completely subdued by him!"
"But do you know? The reason you were kidnapped this time was orchestrated by Han Ruoxi. She hired top assassins from around the world."
It’s a miracle that you weren’t killed by that assassin! Just being able to sit here and chat so casually after encountering such a top-tier killer means you’re incredibly lucky!
Su Xing's expression darkened as she involuntarily murmured the name: Han Ruoxi.
What Mu Beiyao was about to say next was crucial: "The key issue isn’t just the mastermind behind it all.
Han Ruoxi has hostility towards you and hired someone to harm you; we can understand that. But what you must pay attention to is Shen Jingyu's attitude towards this matter.
He knows it was Han Ruoxi who set this up against you, yet he didn’t react at all. Given that, do you think he’s still worth your love?!"
Mu Beiyao wasn’t trying to stir trouble. As Su Xing became lost in her thoughts, she felt it was her duty as a longtime friend to remind her.
Emotions are the hardest to awaken.
Su Xing fell silent for a moment, then looked at her friend with suspicion. "How do you know all this?"
"Is that all? Did you even listen?"
"I gathered it from the conversations between Mu Beiming and the others."
"But don’t worry, my silly brother has no idea I saw it!"
"While you two haven’t reached that stage of being inseparable yet, think it over carefully. There’s still time!"
Su Xing truly hadn’t expected this matter to involve Han Ruoxi, nor could she have imagined that Shen Jingyu, who seemed so deeply in love with her, was still protecting that woman!
Mu Beiyao quietly waited for her to process this until the car stopped at Menglan Bay Community.
"I won’t disturb your family reunion. If you haven’t figured things out yet, you can keep your distance from Shen Jingyu for a while!"
"Tsk, weren’t you quite fond of your cousin? Now you don’t care at all!" Su Xing teased her friend with a playful look.
"Heartless! Who do you think I’m doing this for?"
"Besides, he and I aren’t blood relatives. Without you around, there would never be anything between us!"
That was true; Su Xing had some understanding of the chaotic relationships within the Mu family.
"Then I’ll thank the heavens for giving me such an extraordinary best friend who helps reason over blood ties!"
Mu Beiyao raised an eyebrow. "When you two become a family, I’ll just be a meddlesome busybody!"
Su Xing immediately declared, "Haha, that absolutely cannot happen!"
"The mountains may shake and the earth may move, but sisterly bonds will never change!"
"But can you study something to let me monitor your brother and his group chat dynamics anytime?"
Mu Beiyao rolled her eyes and frowned. "Haha, you've learned bad habits."
"I learned it from you!" Su Xing replied earnestly.
"I’ll look into developing some monitoring software or something."
"But remember this: men are always eyeing what’s on the table while eating from their bowls—no exceptions."
"Be more mindful, love-struck Bao Er!"
Mu Beiyao bid farewell to Su Xing, and the two agreed to meet again soon, undoubtedly to exchange more disparaging remarks about Shen Jingyu. Mu Beiyao's complaints would likely continue for quite some time, until Shen Jingyu could no longer tolerate it and decided to send her abroad. But that was a matter for another day.
At the moment, Su Xing had just stepped out of Mu Beiyao's car when Shen Jingyu, accompanied by Mu Beiming, followed suit.
"Sister-in-law, see you later!" Mu Beiming said hurriedly as he rushed to his sister's car. He certainly didn't want to be left standing there waiting for his keys if Shen Jingyu decided to take them away.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Jingyu could clearly sense that the bubble of fans surrounding Su Xing had vanished without a trace.
This was undoubtedly related to that big-mouthed troublemaker, Mu Beiyao!
At this point, no matter what Shen Jingyu said, he couldn't immediately change Su Xing's mind. He had only one move left, his trump card.
"I'm injured and need your care. You have to come back tonight to help me with my medicine."
Su Xing took a deep breath.
Before she could respond, she noticed how many people were around him—his assistants and friends!
Shen Jingyu cut in directly: "You know I have a cleanliness obsession. There are only men around me; I can't apply medicine myself. Qin Yi only told you how to take care of me."
"Are you a giant baby? Or am I the only one with a giant baby?" Su Xing wanted to ask him why he could remain indifferent after realizing that Han Ruoxi had plotted against her.
However, she didn't have the courage to ask. Since he had chosen not to pursue it further, what was the point of pressing on?
"I'm going upstairs now. You should tone it down in front of my mom later. Don't call me anything random; our situation is still uncertain!"
Shen Jingyu's eyes widened; things were indeed getting out of hand!
Fortunately, Shen Jingyu wasn't shameless in front of just anyone; aside from Su Xing, he still maintained his decisive demeanor as a powerful figure. In front of He Xiaoqing, his potential mother-in-law, he managed to keep everything under control without leaving any room for criticism.
"Xingxing, don't listen to Mu Beiyao's provocations; she has issues with me."
In the elevator, Su Xing was surprised that Shen Jingyu could actually say something like that.
He could even play the blame game behind her back?
"She definitely has issues with you; I can't deny that. She tells me everything without holding back and never hides anything."
"Unlike you," she retorted, "who says nothing and leaves her to guess while our past understanding slowly fades away."
Shen Jingyu, neither of us is the young person we were fifteen years ago, nor the naive newcomer to society we were five years ago. The experiences of these five years have changed us all, and I am no exception. So even though I agreed to be your girlfriend, there is still much we need to understand about each other.
Shen Jingyu: I never thought your intelligence was lacking, especially after spending time with your friends and their endless chatter.
