Dressed as a scum who abandoned his wife and daughter

Chapter 141

Chu Muqing's gift was a rose gold necklace. At the end of the necklace were two small chains connected in series. The size was as big as a tail ring. One of the two "tail rings" was engraved with "Eternal Love" and the other Engraved with "Locked for Life".

Lin Xi has been wearing it since then, even when taking a shower or going to bed, she is reluctant to take it off.

On Thursday, Lin Xi spared a day to celebrate Mother Chu's birthday.

There are gifts for Chu's mother in the car. With the approach of the New Year, even all kinds of gift boxes are wrapped in red, and the atmosphere of the New Year has begun to spread in the streets and alleys.

Even when Chu Muqing drove to the supermarket to buy fruit gift boxes, she heard the Happy New Year song played by the supermarket.

While shopping in the supermarket, Lin Xi led a child and chatted with her while smiling.

Chu Muqing held a fruit basket in her hand, and then she remembered something, so she said to Lin Xi, "Can you check the phone number of the dessert shop near my mother's community for me, I forgot to order a cake for her."

"It's okay, I've made a decision."

Chu Muqing heard that she had made up her mind, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at her.

Lin Xi nodded with a smile again, and said to her: "Yes, it's the first time I celebrate her old man's birthday, and I will definitely make all the preparations in advance to please her old man, so I can rest assured that my daughter will be handed over to me."

After hearing her cute words, Chu Muqing couldn't help thinking of something, and asked, "Including that calligraphy and painting?"

A while ago, Lin Xi took a few calligraphy and paintings at the auction. They were all authentic works carefully collected by many collectors, including landscapes by famous masters and authentic works by emperors. The collection value is indeed higher than their current value.

"Huh?" Lin Xi shook his head: "Didn't you say that her old man teaches history?"

Chu Muqing asked: "So?"

"So, what will be mentioned in the test paper, let her old man appreciate it personally, isn't it good?"

With a natural tone, Chu Muqing didn't know how to refute for a while.

Mother Chu is a people's teacher, she has retired, and she has been diligent in teaching and educating people for most of her life. In fact, she doesn't pay much attention to these things, but Lin Xi gave her such an expensive thing to celebrate her birthday, which made her feel a little bit sorry.

Even Su Rui complained to her occasionally, thinking that Lin Xi's behavior was a bit unique.

Lin Xi is very concerned about his career, including when he is in the car, he will handle the work seriously when he receives a call from the company.But she despises money very much. It seems that she doesn't value wealth, but only career.

That level of indifference is equivalent to that the money in this world is just a number to her.

Even now, she doesn't look like a businessman chasing fame and fortune.

Su Rui said, maybe this is the confidence of a child from a rich family.

After paying the money and returning to the car, Chu Zhi insisted on yelling to get out of the car, insisting on buying cotton candy outside the supermarket.

Lin Xi got out of the car again to buy it for her. While she was waiting for the marshmallows, she received a call again. She turned her head and saw that Chu Muqing's car window was down and was looking at her. She smiled, and then He lowered his voice to the other end of the phone, and said, "A planning proposal has been revised so many times, and it still has many loopholes. Didn't you say that he had been in this industry for more than 20 years when he interviewed?"

The person on the other end of the phone didn't dare to say anything, and was silent for a full 30 seconds before he hesitated and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, I'll go talk to him right now."

Lin Xi reminded: "What's the matter, wait until I return to the company tomorrow."

"Yes... rest well."

Lin Xi hung up the phone. The marshmallows were ready. The boss saw that she was on the phone just now and there were no new customers, so he kept holding them and waiting for her.

Lin Xi took it over and said with a light smile, "Thank you boss."

The boss smiled and started to do the second one.

After paying the money, he returned to the car and gave two marshmallows to Chu Zhi and Shu Yu.

There were two children, Shu Yu hadn't moved yet, and Chu Zhi seemed to be enjoying his meal.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then asked belatedly: "Chu Muqing, I forgot to buy it for you, do you want it?"

Xiao Shuyu passed hers over sensiblely, and said, "Aunt Chu, I'll give you mine."

Seeing this, Xiao Chuzhi followed suit: "Mom, I'll give you mine too."

Chu Muqing turned around and said with a helpless smile, "No, you just have to eat."

Lin Xi glanced at her apologetically, and was about to speak when Chu Muqing's cell phone rang, but Lin Xi didn't bother her.

Chu Muqing picked up the phone, responded a few words, and said softly: "Mom, she has already bought it."

Mother Chu didn't know what to say, Chu Muqing continued: "Yes, the preparations started half a month in advance."

Because she was still in the car, Chu Muqing ended the call with Chu's mother after a while.

Just now, Mother Chu called, knowing that they were going to have lunch at noon, to do business for her, and even asked them not to buy anything randomly.

People of the older generation will always be like this, feeling sorry for their children spending money.

However, Lin Xi prepared gifts early, and even said that he wanted to "perform" by himself so that she would not "intervene".

Vehicles began to move out again, merging into the straight and widening traffic flow of the road.

Chu Muqing couldn't help but think of the diamond ring that Lin Xi insisted on giving her. The diamond was shining and dazzling. Wearing such a big diamond ring on her finger was indeed a bit unassuming and exaggerated.

Lin Xi is using her way to express her concern for her and her importance.

Perhaps, in this marriage, both of them are novices, and they are using their own methods to maintain a stable marriage.

From a paper agreement at the beginning, to being gradually attracted by the other party, to a marriage management.

Chu Muqing covered the steering wheel with her fingers, and suddenly said, "Lin Xi, thank you."

Lin Xi paused, and asked her in front of her, "What?"

It's endless.

"Thank you for trying to be nice to me."

In front of the child, Chu Muqing said this, even if she was a little embarrassed.

Lin Xi laughed: "Really? Do you think so?"

Chu Muqing also laughed: "Yes."

The corners of Lin Xi's lips continued to rise, but he didn't speak.

In fact, she is very clear that when the heartbeat and passion at the beginning continue to the end, it may lead to a situation.

Many couples in this world are like this. When two people are together, maybe one of them suddenly asks one day, why don't I have the desire to talk to you?

Why am I not looking forward to seeing you anymore?

You can't make my heart beat, let's break up.

Maybe because of habit, the party who is proposed to break up will feel pain, sad, unable to let go, and lose dignity to "beg" the other party. Can we not break up?

But the other party will be very decisive and tell her that you are not what I want.

In the end, it will lead to a breakup.

Naturally, she would not become like this. Chu Muqing was the person she wanted, and the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, so of course she would take it to heart.

The first destination the vehicle went to was a dessert shop, which was a chain cake shop. Lin Xi called in advance to make a reservation, and took it away immediately when he got there.

Then they drove the car into the community with the two children. Lin Xi and Chu Muqing went upstairs carrying large and small bags of gifts, and the two little ones were also helping.

When knocking on the door, Mother Chu looked at the pile of things they piled up in front of the door in surprise. An old man happened to bring his grandson upstairs, and she was also stunned for a while, then smiled and said: "This child of yours is so filial. Woolen cloth."

Mother Chu smiled all over her face, but she said politely: "Where, I told you not to let them spend money indiscriminately."

Lin Xi took the initiative to say: "Mom, happy birthday."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he reminded the two children to call someone.

The faces of the two little guys turned red from the cold, and then they shouted sweetly: "Grandma is good."

Mother Chu touched the heads of the two children, and immediately beckoned them to come into the house.

Mother Chu was still a little polite when facing Lin Xi. After all, she and Lin Xi didn't have much time to see each other. When she first recognized Chu Muqing, the two of them didn't know what to say for most of the day.

Her attitude towards Lin Xi now is still somewhat the same as she was towards Chu Muqing back then.

It's a bit different, Lin Xi is a talkative kid, he always sends her messages and talks about various health-care topics with her, but talking on the phone is different from talking face-to-face.

Lin Xi and Chu Muqing carried the presents into the room, and the two little guys were already sitting on the sofa obediently.

Chu Muqing remembered that there was something missing in the car, so she turned around and went downstairs.

Lin Xi pressed her hand: "I'll go."

She said, without waiting for Chu Muqing to say to go together, she walked directly to the entrance, opened the door and went out again.

Mother Chu first teased the two children, and then looked at Chu Muqing: "Didn't you say that you don't need to buy things? Why don't you talk about Xiao Lin?"

Chu Muqing's gaze softened, and she said, "Isn't she treating you well?"

"Hey, you don't need to spend so much money to be nice to me..."

Chu Muqing opened the box containing the calligraphy and painting, took out the calligraphy and painting scroll, and showed it to Mother Chu.

Mother Chu was puzzled: "What is this?"

Chu Muqing tapped lightly with her fingertips: "Open it and see for yourself?"

Chu's mother spread out suspiciously, glanced at it, was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly went to see Chu Muqing: "This, this, this...can't be fake?"

Chu Muqing smiled, "Why would she give you fake ones?"

Mother Chu: ...

She suddenly didn't know where to put her hands.

He asked her nervously again: "Hey, where should I hide this thing? I don't have a place to put it at home, and Xiao Lin... how much did it cost? This is... what do I want this for?" , I'm already old..."

When she was saying that, Lin Xi knocked on the door holding a foam box.

Chu Muqing went to open the door, and Chu's mother was still holding the calligraphy and painting in her hand.

"This is……"

Lin Xi came in with a box, and said with a smile: "I ordered strawberries a while ago, and I think they are delicious, so I will send you a box to taste. If the taste is not bad, I will ask them to deliver them to you regularly."

"This season... Strawberries are also very expensive..."

Lin Xi didn't want her to worry: "It's nothing, I and the orchard buy a lot, it's very cheap, only five or six yuan a catty."

"Is there such a thing?" Chu's mother thought of something, and asked her, "Oh, can you order more for me? I will also buy more for the people in the group."

Lin Xi and Chu Muqing looked at each other and suddenly remembered.

I heard from Chu Muqing that Mother Chu's group is all neighbors in the same community, colleagues who teach in the same school, and friends for many years.

Lin Xi smiled and nodded: "Of course."

It's almost time for lunch, and Mother Chu is going to the kitchen to cook for them.

When Lin Xi and Chu Muqing came, they bought a lot of things, including chicken, duck, fish, and green vegetables. Lin Xi rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen to prepare meals.

Chu Muqing went in with her, Lin Xi smiled and said to her: "Let me come, give me another chance to perform in front of the old man."

Chu Muqing looked at her amusedly and remained silent.

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled politely: "Miss Chu, I would like to ask, what are you laughing at?"

Chu Muqing opened the bag containing fruit and corn, removed the plastic wrap, and then put it under the faucet to wash.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Lin Xi followed two steps up, looked at her profile and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Chu Muqing looked sideways at her, looked at her curiously and said, "You are very good at making elders happy."

Lin Xi smiled and parted her lips: "It depends on which elder it is. If it is my wife's mother, I will definitely try my best to please her."

"So it's for me..." Chu Muqing looked at her.

Lin Xi first helped her turn off the faucet, and then said: "That's right, if you are dealing with people in business, even if they are old, they will talk about business and not consider personal feelings."

Looking at each other, Chu Muqing realized that Lin Xi's eyes became bright when he said the word "wife".

It seems to be talking about something that makes her very proud, it seems... Lin Xi always has such an expression every time he emphasizes that she is her wife.

Chu Muqing lowered her eyebrows: "Thank you."

Lin Xi immediately shook his head and smiled, "You don't need to say thank you like that... Ai Wu Ji Wu."

Chu Muqing responded.

Lin Xi was cooking, and Chu Muqing was helping her, and they cooperated quite tacitly.

The last table full of dishes was brought to the table by them, Mother Chu praised Lin Xi's cooking skills, and even teased Chu Muqing at the dinner table: "You are married to Xiao Lin, how lucky you are. "

Lin Xi looked at Chu Muqing apologetically. She seemed to have hired a lot of people to take care of her after moving.

But it seems to be the case. Later, because of her work, she really seldom cooks.

Chu Muqing didn't understand the reason for the apology in her eyes at all, and said softly to Chu's mother: "She has always been good at cooking, and she cooked it when you were hospitalized."

"Didn't you say that you did it? I thought you had improved your cooking skills. You can't let Xiao Lin cook alone. She is also busy with work. After they get married, they still need to help each other and live a good life. "

"..."

Seeing this, Lin Xi immediately chimed in: "Now Mu Qing's cooking skills are also very good, everyone likes it."

Chu Muqing paused and looked at Lin Xi.

Mu Qing?

Lin Xi smiled knowingly, and said to Mother Chu: "Mu Qing takes good care of me, don't worry."

She said, winking at the two little guys.

The little ones understood immediately, and they all nodded. Chu Zhi said in a childish voice, "Yes, yes, we testify that the food made by mother is delicious."

Halfway through lunch, the family sang birthday songs to celebrate Mother Chu's birthday. The old man happily touched the two children's heads, then blew out the candles and shared the cake.

After the meal, Chu Muqing took the initiative to clean up the mess at the dinner table. Lin Xi wanted to help, but was stopped by Chu's mother, who insisted on dragging Lin Xi to chat for a while.

Lin Xi couldn't understand why Chu's mother wanted to chat with her, why did she enter a separate room and not chat in the living room?

Lin Xi thought that the other party was trying to tell her something "confidential", but it was really a small talk. Mother Chu seemed to have opened up the conversation, asking her and Chu Muqing what plans they had in the future, whether they planned to make up for the wedding, the wedding Where will it be held, where will the honeymoon be.

Lin Xi responded one by one, saying that the wedding would be rescheduled in the next year, and the honeymoon would still ask Chu Muqing's opinion.

Only then did the old man feel relieved, and Lin Xi took the opportunity to mention to her that the two elders would meet, and Mother Chu immediately agreed.

Lin Xi said, "Okay, I'll discuss the time with you later."

While chatting, Chu's mother smiled again and said, "Hey, Xiao Lin, you don't know. Without you, I would have thought of arranging a blind date for her again."

When she said this, Chu Muqing knocked on the door and walked in.

Lin Xi frowned, again?

Is this what it used to mean?

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Really? Is there such a thing?"

Chu Muqing listened to such words as soon as she came in, and interrupted subconsciously: "Mom..."

Mother Chu laughed at her: "What can't you say?"

Lin Xi followed suit: "Yes, yes, there's nothing you can't say, just tell me, I want to hear it."

Chu Muqing: ...

"Yeah, I wasn't going on a blind date with her. She was a child engaged in scientific research. I watched him grow up. He was also elegant and bookish. He went to have a meal with her and was satisfied with her." of."

Lin Xi was tapping his knees with his fingers, but he stopped and went to look at Chu Muqing again, smiling: "Really?"

Chu Muqing frowned, and looked away from her.

"But she is good. She thinks the other party is reliable, but she is younger than her." Mother Chu looked at Lin Xi again: "Aren't you younger than her?"

"..." Lin Xi gritted his teeth, looked at Chu Muqing with a smile, and repeated: "Oh~ I think the other party is reliable~"

Chu Muqing: ...

"It's reliable." Chu's mother said again: "After that, I went to see another one, who was older than her. He was the president of a listed company. He was older than her. She came back and said that he was like a nouveau riche."

Lin Xi: "..."

She took a deep breath, she seems... She also teased Chu Muqing, she looks a bit like an upstart.

However, when she earns money, she can exchange it for a big house, hire someone to take care of her, and buy her expensive things. It seems... makes sense?

It's a bit outrageous to be reluctant to search...

But even if this makes sense, the problem is that she seems to lack the good self-cultivation in her bones like Chu Muqing.

Chu Muqing comforted her at that time, saying that it is good for her to be herself and not to care too much about that, and people have different personalities. That's all.

She has the shining points of her own personality, so she doesn't need to deliberately pursue those.

In fact, as long as life is alive and does not have a bad influence on others, how can others live and how can others comment at will?

"Impossible?" Lin Xi thought of something, and asked Chu's mother again: "Is it an upstart? Mu Qing is not this kind of person, who casually comments on others behind her back. She doesn't seem like this kind of person who has too much desire to express herself."

Chu Muqing was slightly startled.

Lin Xi...does she know her so well?

Mother Chu said with a smile: "She didn't say it clearly. I saw it all myself. I returned the gift from the other party without even looking at it."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "So that's the case."

"There's one more."

Lin Xi suddenly couldn't help but asked patiently, "Is there any more?"

"There is another one. I heard from Mu Qing that the only thing in that person's mind is to carry on the family line, and the things in the boudoir. I really hate this person. Can such a person be relied on?"

Lin Xi paused: ...

She took a cautious look at Chu Muqing, but Chu Muqing didn't look at her.

Lin Xi was a little flustered.

Mother Chu paused, then suddenly grabbed Lin Xi's hand, and said, "Xiao Lin, it turns out that she is not satisfied with this or that, because she is waiting for you..."

Lin Xi continued to feel guilty: "No, it's because I have good vision that I can marry her."

"You kid, you can really talk."

Lin Xi: ...

When leaving, Lin's mother asked Lin Xi to take away the marinated bacon and sausages at home, and the box was half full.

After returning home, Lin Xi put all those things in the refrigerator, and it is estimated that they can be eaten for a long time.

Mother Chu realized it later, and called Chu Muqing.

"You said that Xiao Lin would be angry when he heard that I told you to go on a blind date?"

Chu Muqing looked at Lin Xi who was playing cards with the children in the living room: "How could it be, she is not that kind of person."

"Hey, that's good. I'm really worried that she will care, and she will never stop talking." Chu's mother was a little scared: "It's Xiao Lin who is so easy to talk, and I can talk to her about everything, and I don't know what to say." Don't lose your temper."

Chu Muqing thought for a while, and couldn't help but smile: "Well, she never loses her temper with others."

Mother Chu thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you apologize to Xiao Lin and me? I don't mean that... In case Xiao Lin misunderstood that I was beating her or something..."

"Where can it be?" Chu Muqing said helplessly: "Don't think too much, she is not a narrow-minded person, and she won't think too much."

Mother Chu felt a little relieved.

The two chatted some more, and the topic finally fell on Lin Xi again.

"Little Lin's conditions, you have to take good care of them. Cultivate your relationship more. You will have a long time in the future. You can't be like me. In the end, your father will cheat and your mistress will enter the house."

The more Chu's mother talked, the more angry she became. Chu Muqing knew why she was angry. When Chu's father had an affair in marriage, Chu's mother was so angry that she just wanted nothing and left the Chu family.

She may have a fearful attitude towards marriage, so she especially hopes that she and Lin Xi will get along well.

Chu Muqing glanced at Lin Xi not far away: "Yes, I know."

Lin Xi made tea, and when the tea was brewed, and the tea was fragrant, she called Chu Muqing over to taste the tea.

The two of them are usually busy, and it is rare to enjoy a pleasant leisure time like now. It is rare for the children to ask for leave today, and they are happy to rest at home.

For children, not having to go to school is the happiest thing.In the same way, for adults, it is also possible to take a break from work and take a break from busy schedules.

Chu Muqing walked over and sat on the sofa.

She was silent for a long time before she took the initiative to speak to Lin Xi: "I know what you are thinking."

Lin Xi handed her the water in the small transparent cup: "Taste it, it's a new gift from the customer, it's good for me to drink."

Chu Muqing didn't pick it up to taste immediately, but looked at her and asked, "You don't have anything to say, do you want to ask me?"

Lin Xi paused, looked at her for a long time, and then said in a low tone: "I'm younger than you, and I'm a bit of an upstart, and I still treat you... What is it, that is, I'm a little affected by pheromones , I want to get close to you uncontrollably, I think, I should still use inhibitors all the time, if I was not so unstable when I first differentiated, maybe I wouldn't be full of that, going to bed or something."

Lin Xi said a lot in one breath, Chu Muqing was surprised for a moment.

Why did she... say this?

Shouldn't she be asked why she had been on blind dates with so many people before?

Lin Xi looked at her and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, in this marriage, I still have so much to work on. I always feel that I haven't done enough."

Chu Muqing looked at her and spoke again: "Lin Xi, I think you misunderstood."

Lin Xi was slightly startled: "What?"

Chu Muqing looked at Lin Xi in front of her, and said softly: "The age issue is with you, I have never considered it, and I don't think you are like an upstart, and..."

"If I don't approve of you, I won't agree to be with you," she frowned, not looking at her, and said in a low voice, "Go to bed."
