Mu Jiangfeng watched from the side, clenching his fists tightly, suppressing the anger within him. He couldn't understand why Mu Jiao'er never considered anyone but herself. The person she loved most in her life was always only herself. This attitude towards a child made Mu Jiangfeng both dissatisfied and pained.
"Enough, stop crying!" Hearing Ruo Ruo's sobs, Mu Jiao'er, who was already furious, finally couldn't hold back her anger and shouted, "If you cry again, I'll throw you out of the car so you'll never see your mother again."
For a child, threats can be an effective means of control. At that moment, Ruo Ruo was truly afraid of being thrown out of the car by Mu Jiao'er, so she had to force herself to stifle her cries and hold back her tears. However, due to fear and grievance, along with the shock she had just received, her tears kept flowing down, making her look pitiful.
"What are you doing? She's just a child!" At this point, Mu Jiangfeng could no longer contain himself and yelled at Mu Jiao'er. He then moved closer to Ruo Ruo and pulled her into his arms.
"Hmph." Seeing this scene in the rearview mirror, Mu Jiao'er couldn't help but sneer and said, "Mu Jiangfeng, stop pretending to be a saint. If you really cared about the child, you would rather suffer yourself than agree to take her out. Besides, don't forget that you're holding Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao's daughter."
Indeed, she was a woman with enough malice; her words left no room for rebuttal.
"I at least won't be as cold-hearted as you. Since she is Lan Baobao's daughter, I will definitely protect her safety. If you have even the slightest intention of harming her, I will not let you go!"
Mu Jiangfeng gritted his teeth and insisted, "Once your purpose is achieved, you must ensure she returns safely."
"Don't worry!" Mu Jiao'er was infuriated by Mu Jiangfeng's seemingly righteous demeanor. In her eyes, all of Mu Jiangfeng's behavior was a sign of weakness. Although cooperating with such a person was unfortunate, she couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Mu Jiangfeng lived in deep guilt. Eventually, Ruo Ruo fell asleep on his lap after being sad and scared. He made up his mind that even if it meant going to jail in the end, he would absolutely not allow Mu Jiao'er to harm this child in any way.
Mu Jiangfeng really liked this child—her stubborn gaze and her bright smile were full of Lan Baobao's shadow. He would never harm Lan Baobao's daughter.
After getting out of the car, Mu Jiao'er and Mu Jiangfeng found a relatively secluded hotel and placed the child down. Looking at the sleeping Ruo Ruo who was still sobbing lightly from crying too hard, Mu Jiangfeng felt an overwhelming sense of heartache. Seeing the tears still on her face filled him with guilt.
After leaving the hotel, Mu Jiangfeng went straight to the bar downstairs and sat down heavily. He started drinking shot after shot of strong liquor but could not quell the unease in his heart. The unprecedented sense of guilt left him in turmoil. He truly couldn't understand how Mu Jiao'er could remain so calm while he was willing to cooperate with such a venomous woman.
"You are truly ruthless," Mu Jiangfeng said as he downed another drink and then scolded the elegantly poised woman beside him.
Unexpectedly, Mu Jiao'er burst into laughter and then leaned over seductively onto Mu Jiangfeng's shoulder disdainfully saying, "Thanks for the compliment; you aren't the first to recognize me. By now, don't you know how I operate?"
Mu Jiangfeng was utterly speechless and then forcefully pushed her away from him. He didn't want to see that kind of expression on Mu Jiao'er's face; he feared he might lose control and slap her hard.
However, if Mu Jiao'er were to do anything irreversible, he wouldn't just slap her; he would have thoughts of taking them both down together.
At that moment, it seemed that Mu Jiao'er didn't mind Mu Jiangfeng's temper at all; on the contrary, she was quite high-spirited. The plan she had been working on for so long had finally come to fruition today; naturally, she was pleased. For her, what lay ahead was a bright path.
"Just hurry up and make the call." Mu Jiao'er once again clung to Mu Jiangfeng, then casually pulled out his phone from his pocket and handed it to him.
Mu Jiangfeng looked at Mu Jiao'er with confusion, a hint of anger in his eyes, and said, "What do you want?"
"Call Lan Baobao, what else?" Mu Jiao'er maintained a flattering demeanor and said, "Tell her that her beloved daughter is in my hands. If she wants Ruo Ruo to return safely to the Ye Family, she must agree to be with you and go abroad for a year or two."
"Later." Mu Jiangfeng pushed Mu Jiao'er away in dissatisfaction. He had no desire to face Lan Baobao right now; all he felt for her was guilt. If he had to say something so heartless, he felt he would definitely break down. Although Mu Jiangfeng was not a procrastinator, he preferred to delay this matter for as long as possible.
However, Mu Jiao'er was not someone who could be easily dealt with. Now that she had Ruo Ruo as leverage, she couldn't wait to buy plane tickets for both Mu Jiangfeng and herself, sending them far away to disappear forever from Ye Zixun's world. She just wanted to speed things up and bring her happiness closer; how could she be willing to delay even a moment?
So while Mu Jiangfeng continued drinking, Mu Jiao'er found Lan Baobao's phone number and called it using Mu Jiangfeng's phone.
"Lan Baobao, the things you made me lose, I will definitely take back myself. I want you to taste the pain of losing something important!"
"Hello, is this Lan Baobao?"
"Yes! I'm Lazy Baby, who are you?"
The woman on the other end sounded weak, her voice coming through the phone as if drained of energy. Mu Jiao'er frowned immediately; how could Lan Baobao not recognize her voice?
On the other end of the line, Lan Baobao had no idea that it was Mu Jiao'er.
"Hello? Please speak! Who is this? Do you have something to say? If you don't speak soon, I'm hanging up!" Seeing that the other party remained silent, Lan Baobao's temper flared.
Mu Jiao'er was puzzled that Lan Baobao didn't realize this was Mu Jiangfeng's phone number. On the other hand, Lan Baobao's voice sounded strange, as if she were sick.
She felt a sense of delight.
The worse Lan Baobao felt, the more pitiful she became; the happier and more satisfied Mu Jiao'er felt.
Lan Baobao lay in bed, tossing and turning, her head pounding.
She truly did not want to waste any more time talking with the person on the other end of the line.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"Yeah, I'm really not feeling well. I'm sorry, if you don't have anything urgent, please call me again later. I'm really not feeling well right now. I have to hang up."
"Hey..." Mu Jiao'er hadn't had a chance to ask what was going on before she heard the busy signal.
Mu Jiao'er stared blankly at Mu Jiangfeng's phone. Lan Baobao... Lan Baobao actually hung up? Was she really that forgettable? After just a few words, she wasn't even recognized by Lan Baobao.
Mu Jiao'er felt a little uncomfortable.
In the next moment, her gaze fell on Mu Jiangfeng.
This dignified Master Mu was actually sprawled on the ground like a pile of mud, smelling terrible!
Damn it, that stinky man! Is this the time to drown his sorrows in alcohol?
Mu Jiao'er shook her lips and tossed the phone aside. Then, with great effort, she pulled Mu Jiangfeng up and dragged him toward the bathroom.
A little setback and he acted like the world was ending; there aren't many useful men around!
Mu Jiangfeng, I absolutely cannot let you escape from reality like this.
After several minutes of struggle, Mu Jiao'er finally managed to drag Mu Jiangfeng into the bathroom. She didn't even have a bathtub to put him in. She was already exhausted; moving Mu Jiangfeng to the bathtub was simply a dream.
So she just dropped Mu Jiangfeng on the floor and picked up the showerhead from the water heater.
Mu Jiao'er turned on the water valve, and water sprayed all over Mu Jiangfeng, instantly filling the bathroom with steam.
She deliberately set the temperature very high; the water wasn't just hot, it was scalding.
"Mu Jiangfeng, get up! Do you hear me? Get up!"
Mu Jiangfeng showed no reaction and lay on the ground like he was dead. Seeing him in such a lifeless state, Mu Jiao'er decided to crank up the water pressure and heat, determined to wake him up.
Finally, Mu Jiangfeng jumped up under the scorching temperature, the drunkenness from earlier dissipating significantly. He looked at his disheveled appearance, drenched in water, and noticed that his skin was reddened from the near-boiling water temperature, almost blistering.
Mu Jiangfeng roared uncontrollably at Mu Jiao'er.
"Mu Jiao'er, have you gone crazy? What are you doing? Trying to murder me?"
"Mu Jiangfeng, you don't need to shout at me! Of course I know what I'm doing; my mind is very clear. But you, Mu Jiangfeng, do you know what you're doing?"
Mu Jiao'er was not scared at all; instead, she was reminding Mu Jiangfeng of what he should be doing now.
"This is not the time for you to get drunk! Just now, I used your phone to call Lan Baobao."
"What?" Hearing this, he angrily grabbed Mu Jiao'er's shoulders and shouted. "Mu Jiao'er, how dare you do this? Who gave you the right?!"
"I don't need anyone to give me this right because I already have it! Just because I'm your partner and we both have our needs!" Mu Jiao'er quickly shook off his hand and exclaimed, "Mu Jiangfeng, you should thank me. If I hadn't called Lan Baobao, how would I know that Lan Baobao's situation is terrible right now? This is your opportunity."
"What do you mean by that?" What does it mean that the situation is terrible?
Lan Baobao was just staying in her room and not coming out; how could that be considered terrible?
