Murong Xue just made it to the stairs, and Bai Xueli ran out crying and shouting, "Please, don't harass Mo. My child can't live without his father."
She looked at Bai Xueli, shocked. Her hair was messy and there were some holes in her clothes as if she had been abused.
Many guests began looking in their direction, and there were flashes of cameras, which meant people were taking pictures. It seemed that everything had been prepared beforehand.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Murong Xue frowned, but she already knew that she had fallen into a trap and there was no way out.
Bai Xueli ran to her and then knelt down. "Miss Murong, please. You can hit me at will, as long as you leave Mo." She looked like a flower that endured frost, blooming with her femininity. She was so delicate and touching that she could move a few hearts.
By contrast, Murong Xue was clean and tidy, and quite a lot of people had gathered around. People were pointing fingers at them and gossiping. Some had started to use the word "mistress" to refer to her.
"I have no time for you!" Murong Xue turned around to go downstairs. At this time, the longer she was involved, the worse it would be. She'd better leave quickly.
All of a sudden, Bai Xueli got up, got in front of her, and grabbed her hand with both hands. Then Bai Xueli leaned back and instantly rolled downstairs while Murong Xue's hands still remained stretching forward as if she had pushed Bai Xueli.
"Ah! My baby!" Bai Xueli screamed and touched her belly. A pool of blood had flowed out of her.
Murong Xue quickly ran down. At this moment, to save her was the most important thing.
Those spectators came closer, and some called an ambulance.
Murong Xue walked quickly to Bai Xueli. Looking at Bai Xueli's pale face, she frowned and stretched out her hand to take her pulse so that she could figure out what was going on. But before she got close, Bai Xueli resisted fiercely. "What do you want? You murderer, give my child back!" Bai Xueli screamed, her voice full of hatred.
"Bai Xueli, God is watching. Don't you feel sorry for your own child?" Murong Xue asked back. In order to get back at her, Bai Xueli actually used her own child, so cruel to such an extent. How evil-minded she was!
"My child… Give me my child." Bai Xueli raised her voice again and kept shouting.
Onlookers started to rally to one side and blame Murong Xue.
"This young girl is really vicious."
"She looks a little familiar..."
"Oh, I remember. Isn't this Murong Xue at the last international academic competition of the school?"
"Me, too. Yes, it's she. And I thought she was kind and nice."
"Kind? It is obvious that she pushed the person downstairs."
"..."
More and more people were whispering. The most irritating thing was that some were taking pictures.
Just as Murong Xue was about to refute, the ambulance arrived. Bai Xueli was quickly carried on the ambulance, and she followed. No matter what she said, it was useless at this time. She could expect major media outlets would make it the headline the next day.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Bai Xueli was carried into the emergency room, and Murong Xue was waiting outside the ward.
She thought for a long time and finally called Shangguan Mo. After all, the child was his, and he should be here at this time.
Murong Xue didn't say much except that Bai Xueli was in the emergency room now. She also told Shangguan Mo the address of the hospital, and then she hung up.
She paced back and forth outside the ward, and she really wanted to leave. She didn't want to see Shangguan Mo at all, not the slightest.
It happened that she was involved in it. It was obvious that she was framed. She didn't expect that Bai Xueli would be so cruel and even sacrifice her own child.
Before long, hurried footsteps could be heard. Murong Xue looked up and saw Shangguan Mo, who she had not seen for a long time.
He wasted away, his face gaunt. There were even moustaches under his chin and thick green shadow under his eyes.
Murong Xue couldn't bear to see him like this and instantly looked away from him. How he was had nothing to do with her anymore.
Shangguan Mo saw the familiar figure in a distance. The separation of this period of time did not leave any trace on her face. It let him once again deeply understand where she put him in her heart. He was not important to her…
The atmosphere was strange. How familiar they used to be while how strange they were now.
Murong Xue looked at the white wall and never turned her head.
Shangguan Mo stared at her. He was no longer as stubborn and desperate as he had been before. He was not that sharp and rough. Men who had experienced the pain of love would become maturer and crueler.
The lost love was like how they were at this time. One was staring at the wall, unwilling to have any interaction while the other was staring at his past love, hoping to find the answer.
The initial pain only left the scar. They were waiting for the day when the wound healed.
After a long time, Shangguan Mo slowly said, "How are you...?"
Murong Xue felt stiff but soon relaxed again. "I'm fine!" After a pause, she added, "Aren't you going to ask what happened? Shouldn't you be worried about the person in the ward?" So far, she hadn't looked at him, and she only said in a calm tone.
"Then what happened?" He still looked at her in profile. At the moment he saw her, his resentment had dissipated a lot. Anyway, she was the woman he loved and the woman he first loved. Although the result wasn't what he wanted and he was scarred all over, he never regretted it.
Now he wouldn't force anything, even though he couldn't believe the fact that they were over.
After all, fairy tales were just fairy tales. Not everyone could be the hero or heroine of fairy tales. Their love had come and gone in a hurry, leaving a wound in each other's hearts. They were not going to join hands in a church to listen to the wedding bells.
Murong Xue calmly told him what happened this afternoon, without explaining or exaggerating.
Shangguan Mo listened consciously, without asking any follow-up questions. He only said at the end, "I will solve it!" There was no follow-up.
Now they didn't share any topic. All kinds of funny things that could be talked about in the past couldn't be recalled at this time, but neither of them felt any uncomfortable as if it should have been so.
The moment when they thought each other was more important than themselves had long gone. Now the two people standing together just witnessed the lies in love.
When they no longer belonged to each other, they had no right to ask about their promises.
It turned out that not all love would last forever, but there was also a kind of love called once owned.
They were leaning against the wall, one meter away from each other. When this kind of situation happened to them, there was a strange harmony.
"Later, be nice to Bai Xueli! She loves you very much." Murong Xue broke the silence. She had been able to say such a thing. Although there would still be a twitch of ache in her heart, it was no longer unacceptable.
"Okay!" It took a long time for Shangguan Mo to spit out a word. If he couldn't get happiness, then why not let another person be happy? Anyway, it made no difference to him...
Hearing his reply, Murong Xue paused for a while. But at the same time, she felt a sense of liberation.
"Hope you're happy!"
"Likewise."
This was the last conversation between them. There was no quarrel or resentment. It was so quiet that it made people inexplicably sad. Whether they were sad about the other party's departure? Or were they sad that love was so fragile? No one could get an answer.
Murong Xue left without waiting for Bai Xueli to come out. She was not needed by anymore. As long as Shangguan Mo was there, it was the best medicine for Bai Xueli.
The starry sky tonight was unusually bright, and the lights on the street kept flashing like stars all over the sky. Some of them were dazzling. There were still some noises around. Pedestrians in the street got together in twos and threes, full of hustle and bustle.
Murong Xue, who was about to get in the car, saw a familiar figure on the opposite side of the road.
She was wearing clothes that were more exposed than what she wore daily. Her tight dress accentuated her plump figure. The short dress that could barely cover her buttocks revealed the underwear when she did the catwalk. The delicate makeup on her face also looked stronger than the one during the day, which made her look several years older and amorously mature.
Murong Xue was about to walk across the crosswalk to say hello to Huang Xiaofei, but suddenly a slightly fat middle-aged man walked over and took hold of Huang Xiaofei's waist. The middle-aged man also pinched Huang Xiaofei's butt with his hand in a rude manner.
To Murong Xue's surprise, Huang Xiaofei was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled and kissed the middle-aged man on the cheek. Then they got in the car and drove away.
