Chapter 109 Sense of Familiarity

109

Suppressing the pain in his heart, Jiang Yanci looked at Wen Jiu: "Do you know? When I saw you in the Vincent family when I was a child, my mother started talking about having a daughter."

"Ah?" Wen Jiu was puzzled, "Didn't I fall in front of you at that time? Auntie still wanted to have a baby after seeing how unlucky I was?"

"Wen Xiaojiu, do you have any misunderstandings about your appearance?"

Jiang Yanci recalled how Wen Jiu looked at that time. She was wearing a pure white shirt with lantern sleeves, and the doll collar was embroidered with red cherries, which made her little face, which was still a little chubby, look rosy.

If Jiang Yanci remembered correctly, Wen Jiu seemed to be wearing a pair of beige wide-leg pants with patterns embroidered on the bottom of the pants, but Jiang Yanci didn't look carefully at the time and couldn't remember what it looked like.

The hem of her shirt was tucked into her pants, revealing a sense of leisure of a little adult.

But what really touched Zhou Zaixi's heart was not Wen Jiu's pretty face, but her stubborn expression when she was in so much pain after falling that tears welled up in her eyes, but she kept comforting herself by saying "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt".

Not only Zhou Zaixi, but Jiang Yanci was also touched by Wen Jiu's expression of pouting her lips and enduring the pain.

"That's right." Wen Jiu accepted Jiang Yanci's compliment without any modesty, and looked at the photo of Zhou Zaixi and Jiang Hansheng seriously with her hands folded. The vague sense of familiarity appeared in her heart again.

But Wen Jiu knew that this sense of familiarity definitely came from more than just Jiang Yanci's description just now.

This feeling was not the first time.

Although Mu Wan and Wen Sheng would naturally change the subject when they occasionally mentioned things about Wen Jiu's childhood that she had no memory of, how could Wen Jiu not notice the strangeness in it.

But what she didn't understand the most was that Wen Jiu didn't forget all those memories of her childhood, only a part... the part that everyone kept silent about was what she had forgotten.

And this part also included Jiang Yanci, and even his parents' participation.

Wen Jiu frowned, and just as he was about to ask Jiang Yanci, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"It's Qi Qin." Jiang Yanci said, and turned on the speakerphone directly after answering the call. However, before he could speak, Qi Qin's anxious voice came over from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Yan, come to the Mu family quickly. Mu Ling and her parents are quarreling and want to commit suicide!"

After these words came out, even Wen Jiu was not calm.

Jiang Yanci's eyes condensed: "We will be there soon."

"Should I go too?" Although Wen Jiu was very worried about Mu Ling, he was not sure that the people of the Mu family would tolerate a stranger like him to be there in such an occasion.

However, Jiang Yanci nodded without hesitation: "I may not be able to persuade Mu Ling. She listens to you the most now. Your presence is more useful than mine."

Qi Qin's purpose of letting him go there was not to let him stop Mu Ling, but to stop her if Mu Ling's father attacked her.

"Okay." Wen Jiu was persuaded, and did not care about the attitude of the people of the Mu family. He pulled Jiang Yanci and ran out of the cemetery in a hurry.

Hong Kong City, Mu Family

The dagger in Mu Ling's hand had already cut into her skin, and blood first flowed along the blade and then gathered into red lines flowing down.

Seeing the dazzling red on her neck, the hearts of the people present were in their throats.

"A Ling, don't use force. Mom begs you, please put down the knife, okay?" Mu's mother's face was already covered with panic tears, and she was so anxious that her clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat.

Mu Ling was also crying, but her eyes, which were blurred by tears, were full of determination at this moment.

"I want to cancel the engagement with the Qi family!"

"Can't you put down the knife and we have a good talk?!" Mu's father was angry and worried, "You grew up with Qi Qin since childhood, what's wrong with marrying him?"

"Nothing is good, Qi Qin treats me as a sister, and I treat him as a brother, how can we get married?"

Mu Ling became emotional, and the dagger on her neck rubbed against her skin, which made the people present terrified.

Father Mu hurried to comfort Mu Ling: "Okay, okay!"

"If you don't marry Qi Qin, do you want to marry Qi Su? If you really want to marry Qi Su, that's fine. I'll go and discuss it with the Qi family!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Qi Qin, who had just hung up Jiang Yanci's phone call.

They thought Qi Qin would be angry, but he wasn't.

He just let them stare at him calmly, and then said to Mu Ling:

"I've called Brother Yan, and Wenjiu will come if nothing unexpected happens. Aling, you can resist, but you shouldn't bet on your life."

"I don't care!" Mu Ling growled at Qi Qin stubbornly, and then looked at Father Mu, who was staring at her with a cold face and dissatisfaction.

"Is it true that I have no other choice except the people of the Qi family?"

"Yes." Father Mu nodded without hesitation.

It was not a surprising answer at all.

Mu Ling smiled and cried, pulling the corners of her mouth: "In your eyes, the interests of the family are always more important than me. You don't love me at all. Even if I am your only daughter, my value is far less than that of the Mu family!"

"That's not the case." Mu's mother shook her head and choked up and said: "Dad loves you. Put down the knife and mom will agree to cancel the engagement, okay?"

"No!" Mu's father immediately refuted Mu's mother's words in a harsh voice, pointing at Mu Ling and said:

"It's because you spoiled her too much that she became lawless."

"Mu Ling, Dad will tell you clearly today that the engagement between the Mu family and the Qi family will never be cancelled. Either you marry Qi Qin or Qi Su, you choose!"

Mu Ling's suicide behavior did scare Mu's father just now, but he reacted and realized that if Mu Ling really wanted to commit suicide, she would not make such a big scene.

In this way, he would not indulge Mu Ling anymore.

However, when he heard Mu's father's words, the disappointment in Mu Ling's eyes was extremely strong.

"I know that in your eyes, I will never be as good as the Mu family. If,"

her voice trembled, but she still said the words that had been buried in her heart for many years.

"If I were a boy, even if the Qi and Mu families had an engagement, you would definitely cancel the engagement if I didn't want to. Because as a son, I can be your successor and inherit the prosperity of the Mu family that you care about!"

Mu Ling couldn't help but shed tears: "In your eyes, as a daughter, I am just water that can be poured out at any time to consolidate your wealth."

She complained at the top of her lungs: "So you never care about my feelings and my thoughts, and never let me get involved in company matters; to you, I am just a tool that can guarantee your cooperation with the Qi family!"

Mu's mother knew better than anyone how much Mu's father wanted a son, but she never thought that Mu Ling would still notice what she had hidden so well.

Seeing another cut on Mu Ling's neck due to excitement, Mu's mother fell to the ground with weak legs, looking at her with tears in her eyes and begging: "

A Ling, Mom, please put down the knife, okay, let's talk it over, Mom, please don't scare Mom."

"Mom~" Seeing her mother so sad, Mu Ling's heart was also aching.

She also thought that anyway, Qi Qin was so good to her, what's wrong with marrying him?

But what if one day, Qi Qin met

a girl he really liked? Mu Ling knew better than anyone what it felt like to like someone.

The uncontrollable heartbeat, the eyes that followed closely... At that time, if Qi Qin met someone he really liked, what would she do?

What should Qi Qin do if he wanted to give the other person everything but found that he had nothing to give?

Mu Ling didn't want herself or Qi Qin to fall into such a painful situation one day in the future.

If she really died and this matter could be resolved...
