Highly toxic

A clock was hung on the wall of the lounge. When Jiang Mu woke up from the coma, he saw that the hour hand on the opposite wall was close to twelve o'clock.

After a brief trance, Jiang Mu remembered everything before he fell into a coma. He left the sofa in a panic, ran to the door of the lounge to open the door, and soon found that the thick wooden door was locked from the outside.

The mobile phone that was carried on the body was also gone, and there was nothing in the empty leisure room that could contact the outside world.

Jiang Mu hammered the door hard and shouted loudly, but no one responded outside the door.

The He family took over an entire restaurant, except for a few floors dedicated to holding the engagement ceremony and logistical arrangements, the rest were all vacant, and even all the staff were dedicated to serving the engagement ceremony on this day.

The hand that hammered the door was so painful that he almost lost consciousness, and his voice was mostly hoarse. Jiang Mu finally gave up. The whole portrait was drained of all strength, and sat on the ground against the door in a daze.

"Why...why..." Jiang Mu held his head in pain and cried, tears falling on the floor drop by drop.

Why is it necessary to use this method to ensure the smooth progress of his engagement.

Was it because he was afraid that he would mess up his engagement?

In fact, as long as he tells himself the truth

But why did he have to tell him in such a cruel way that he was indeed cheated.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Mu was tired from crying, and the fierce anger and hatred in his heart suddenly turned into a pool of stagnant water. He sat behind the door, half-opened his eyes and looked at the wall clock on the wall. Walking with the ticking of the second hand, I gradually felt that the whole world was silent...

After a long time, people's footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Jiang Mu's body trembled slightly, and a trace of life finally returned to his desolate face. He stood up with difficulty while supporting the wall door, and slapped the door again and shouted.

This time someone outside the door finally responded.

"Hey, why is there someone here?" It was the restaurant staff who came to get things from the storage room on this floor. He was very surprised to hear Jiang Mu's voice inside, "Wait a minute, I'm going to get a spare for this door right now." The key."

Soon the staff opened the door, and he looked at Jiang Mu in surprise. He was about to ask Jiang Mu's identity, but Jiang Mu asked first, "Which floor is the engagement wedding on?"

Probably because he was exhausted physically and mentally in the lounge, but Jiang Mu seemed much calmer now.

"Ah? Oh, it's just downstairs." The staff member said in a daze, "Are you a guest at the engagement banquet?"

"I..." Jiang Mu laughed nervously, "It's nothing."

"then you……"

"I'll leave after just one look..." Jiang Mu's face was pale, and he whispered, "Just one look."

The male staff member felt that Jiang Mu's spirit was not quite right, so he raised a [-]-point alert in his heart.

Because he only needed to go down one floor, Jiang Mu didn't take the elevator, but took the stairs, and the staff member followed Jiang Mu cautiously, holding a transmitter in his hand, ready to call his companion at any time.

As soon as he opened the door of the safe corridor, Jiang Mu heard a melodious piano sound, which came from the entrance of the hall a few meters away.

Every step was extremely difficult, and even the surrounding air seemed to suddenly become thinner.

Breathing, slightly struggling...

When he finally arrived at the door, Jiang Mu saw He Qianyan, who was wearing a white dress not far away, and was more handsome and charming than before. When he was toasting and laughing elegantly and calmly among the guests, Jiang Mu had a feeling that he was suddenly hollowed out. There is only a human body left, standing in place, crumbling.

The woman holding He Qianyan's arm was young and beautiful, and the eyes she occasionally exchanged with He Qianyan were full of unconcealable love. In the banquet hall of Nuo University, she wore a silver-white mermaid dress that was on He Qianyan's body. The pure white custom-made dresses complement each other, making them the most beautiful and eye-catching presence in the audience.

Ah Shen found Jiang Mu at the entrance of the banquet hall, his heart sank suddenly, and when he was walking towards Jiang Mu quickly, he suddenly saw Jiang Mu at the door turning around slowly, and just left without making a sound.

Ah Shen was stunned, but just in case he quickly followed up, until he saw Jiang Mu entering the elevator, and then the display screen on the outer wall of the elevator showed that it went directly to the first floor.

Ah Shen returned to the hall, whispered in He Qianyan's ear and reported what he had just seen to He Qianyan.

Jiang Mu thought that his tears had been shed in that lounge, but on the drive back, his tears still kept falling. The only thing that has improved is probably that he didn't cry anymore, but just kept raising his hand to rub Eye.

Jiang Mu kept telling himself that he just experienced deception and breaking up.

nothing.

This devastating sense of despair is only temporary.

The pain will be digested by time, and the memories of the past will be gradually replaced by other things. What he has to do now is to survive until that day.

When Jiang Mu returned to the villa, the nanny was surprised to see his pale face, and asked a few questions carefully, but Jiang Mu didn't answer anything, and went upstairs directly.

Jiang Mu dragged out his small suitcase and packed it quickly. He was glad that he only changed into the few clothes he brought over during his stay here. Apart from eating and drinking here, he owed almost nothing to him. A villa, or in other words, does not owe He Qianyan anything.

This was the only thing he was lucky about and felt confident about. During his relationship with He Qianyan, he didn't owe He Qianyan anything.

He is weak and incompetent, but the love he gave He Qianyan was pure from the beginning to the end, never mixed with a trace of material desire.

Jiang Mu went downstairs with the suitcase. Instead of driving the car that the nanny used to buy groceries, he returned the car keys to the nanny, and then dragged the handle of the suitcase out of the villa.

He knows where to get a cab nearby.

Just a few steps out of the villa, a car stopped beside Jiang Mu, and Ah Shen opened the door and got out of the car.

"Mr. Jiang." Asan said, "Mr. He asked me to tell you that he will finish all the affairs in hand within two hours, and then come to you. I hope you can..."

"Today is his big day, he should be with his fiancée all day long." Jiang Mu said, "There is no need to spare time to deal with me."

"Mr. He also said that even if we separated after knowing each other for several years, we still hope to have a decent and formal farewell."

Ashen's words silenced Jiang Mu.

That's right, he should have a formal farewell to He Qianyan, ask what should be asked, and say what he wants to say.

If they were divided, he would make it clear.

Jiang Mu returned to the villa, but instead of going upstairs, he sat on the sofa in the lobby with his suitcase and waited.

He Qianyan only appeared when the sun was about to set. He changed out of the white dress at the engagement banquet and wore a black suit.

Ah Shen and the nanny left silently, leaving only He Qianyan and Jiang Mu in the hall.

He Qianyan frowned slightly when he saw the suitcase at Jiang Mu's feet, and then sat down beside Jiang Mu.

"What happened today is because I didn't explain it to Ah Shen." He Qianyan said softly, "Xiao Jiang, you have been wronged."

"Brother Yan, don't you know what we're sitting here, what's the point?" Jiang Mu turned his head to look at He Qianyan, his eyes no longer flickered with cowardice, and his voice was as calm as his voice at the moment.

During the few hours waiting for He Qianyan, Jiang Mu only thought about one thing, no matter what He Qianyan said, he would not allow himself to lose control of his emotions and lose his principles.

After today, he and He Qianyan might not even be friends. Since it was the last time to confess to each other, he had to maintain his last dignity in front of He Qianyan.

"I'm engaged to someone else." He Qianyan's face was calm, and his voice was unhurried, "I didn't tell you earlier, I just didn't want you to be sad."

"For what? Your business status?"

He Qianyan did not hesitate, and said softly, "Yes."

Jiang Mu looked at He Qianyan's gentle and calm face, and his heart suddenly felt throbbing. He almost asked in a trembling voice, "Your business marriage is doomed, so when you got the certificate with me, you already The plan has reached the stage of divorce, and that short-lived marriage is just a part of your plan to calculate Geng Yan, isn't it?"

He Qianyan closed his eyes, "Yes."

Jiang Mu laughed at himself.

He finally understood that He Qianyan asked him to go to Geng Yan's place at night, let him allow Geng Yan to enter the apartment, and let him pretend to be that boy to win Geng Yan's trust. Behavior, because he simply doesn't care.

He Qianyan obtained the certificate from himself just to help him do these things with peace of mind.

It was true, when he got the marriage certificate, he naively thought that there was finally an inseparable connection between himself and He Qianyan. From that moment on, he was completely devoted to He Qianyan, without any doubts... …

"Since when did Brother Yan become like this?" Jiang Mu said hoarsely, "It's still like this all the time, but I don't know..."

"If you talk about changing, it's just becoming more rational." He Qianyan said slowly, "Xiao Jiang, if I want to secure this position, I must learn to make trade-offs and trade-offs. If I act emotionally, I won't be able to go far."

"Even I am calculating, is this your reason?"

"Xiao Jiang, I'm sorry, but this time it's really critical. If I lose to Geng Yan, I will lose you even more. I don't have a better idea to get back the shares from Geng Yan and protect the Your feelings for me..." He Qianyan said in a gentle voice, "This is the only time and the last time, and I will never be forced to face such a problem in the future, Xiao Jiang, please forgive me? I need you..."

Jiang Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said almost sadly, "How can you still say such a thing, He Qianyan, you are already engaged, and you are a man with a fiancée now, what am I worth by your side?"

"Marriage is different from love." He Qianyan stroked Jiang Mu's cheek and said gently, "We can still get along as before. You live here, and I will come to you often. What do you need? I..."

"Is it your lover?" Jiang Mu interrupted He Qianyan, "A male mistress raised by a married man? The most despicable existence in people's eyes?"

"I don't look at you that way."

"But I will see myself this way." Jiang Mu smiled palely, "Speaking of which, this villa of yours is specially prepared for me, since you took me over, you are planning to keep me here as your pet. "

"You don't need to say such words that insult yourself."

Jiang Mu pushed He Qianyan's hand away, his eyes were never cold and determined, and he said every word, "Then please ask Mr. He first, don't think about humiliating me."

Jiang Mu stood up and picked up the suitcase on the ground.

When He Qianyan wanted to hold Jiang Mu's wrist, Jiang Mu shrank back faster.

He Qianyan's eyes finally dimmed a little bit.

Jiang Mu looked at He Qianyan, smiled lightly, as if he had finally forcibly freed himself, and said, "I thought that even if this day came, you should be the one who said this to me. The initiative of this kind of thing actually fell into my hands in the end.”

"Xiao Jiang..."

"He Qianyan." Jiang Mu said, "We're done."

After Jiang Mu finished speaking, he dragged his suitcase and turned around to leave.

"Do you know what it means for you to leave here?" He Qianyan said suddenly, his voice two steps lower than before.

Jiang Mu stopped.

"Geng Yan is still relying on your diary that was edited in two days, and he has no doubts about your identity as Xiaotangyuan." He Qianyan continued, "He needs to know that you are a fake, and he will cooperate with me to cheat you." If you leave him, what do you think he will do to you with his bad temper?"

Jiang Mu didn't look back, but he held the suitcase handle tightly, and said after a while, "This is my business, and I will figure it out myself."

"Are you going to keep it a secret for a day, or are you going to run away before he knows?"

Jiang Mu didn't speak. When he raised his foot again and was about to leave, a recording that seemed to come from a mobile phone came from behind him.

Jiang Mu's back suddenly froze.

[Brother Yan, I...I'm very scared, if Geng Yan knows that I'm pretending to be that boy, he...he will beat me to death. 】

[Don't be afraid, he will never think that you made up that diary, not to mention that he thought you were the person he was looking for from the very beginning. If you admit it, he will only feel that the conjecture deep in his heart has been verified. 】

[After that day... What if he finds out in the future? 】

【It's okay, when the time comes, move to the place I arranged for you, he won't be able to hurt you】

Jiang Mu turned around abruptly, looking at He Qianyan in horror.

The living room was well lit and the temperature was pleasant, but He Qianyan, who was dressed in black, seemed to be shrouded in a shadow. His usually gentle and refined face was strangely cold at the moment.

"you……"

"Actually, when I was recording, I just wanted to be just in case." He Qianyan said blankly, "If you fall in love with Geng Yan, or just want to leave me, I will send this recording to Geng Yan. Yan, in this way, his anger towards you will make every step away from me difficult."

Jiang Mu stood there dumbly, with a dense chill creeping up his back.

"He Qianyan, you are too scary."

He Qianyan smiled slightly.

"Then start today and get to know me again."
