CHAPTER 1146: 324 TIME LIMIT_4

Qin Mu couldn’t speak, and now she couldn’t speak even more.

She simply watched him leave through the mirror, tears falling uncontrollably, lowering her head as tears trickled into the sink.

If she could, she’d really like to tear him to pieces.

But in her current state, she probably wouldn’t even get to hit him before he pushed her away.

As Mu Yichen went downstairs, he sent a message to Helian Hao, telling her about Qin Mu’s symptoms before putting his phone back in his pocket.

"Why are you dressed so neatly this early?"

"I need to go out of town, won’t be having breakfast!"

He casually dismissed it as an explanation and left.

Feng Fanghua put down her teacup, completely baffled by her precious son’s words.

"What did he say he’s doing?"

Feng Fanghua asked the maid who happened to be passing by to wipe the table.

"Young master said he has to go out of town and won’t be at home for breakfast!"

The maid answered and began cleaning.

"So early in the morning, why suddenly go out of town? Didn’t mention a word about it last night."

Feng Fanghua muttered.

Outside, two old men practicing Tai Chi were just about to spar; they had posed, but seeing Mu Yichen driving away, they paused: "Where’s the young master going?"

"Hmph! Never mind him! Let’s proceed!"

The old man frowned as he watched him speed off in the car, immediately displeased.

Because he went out of town, Qin Mu didn’t go to work. The family wasn’t blind either, seeing she was sick, so she stayed home to rest.

"You’re sick, that’s fine, but why bother putting on makeup to hide it?"

Feng Fanghua chided her.

Qin Mu lowered her head, expressing her apology.

"Just say a few words less."

Mu Zihao told Feng Fanghua.

"Alright, alright! I won’t say anything, as if I’m trying to harm her! I’m off to take my granddaughter to school."

Feng Fanghua stood up from the sofa, not very happy, and upon seeing Huanhuan with her backpack, she took her out.

"I have to make a trip to the pharmaceutical factory today, you and grandpa stay home and rest well."

Mu Zihao said to Qin Mu before leaving, and then quickly caught up.

After nine, Helian Hao arrived at the Mu Family with a huge bag.

By then, Qin Mu was already lying on the bed, feeling like sleeping after taking medicine.

After being led inside by the maid, Helian Hao first greeted the old man in the living room; the old man hadn’t gone out today either, not wanting the house to be empty when Qin Mu was sick, so he stayed home reading the news.

"Grandpa! Long time no see, you look well!"

"Xiaohao is here! You’re here to see Mumu, right? Go ahead! She’s in her room!"

The old man looked up and was quite happy to see Helian Hao, wasting no time.

"Alright! I’ll chat with you later!"

Helian Hao said with a smile to him, then left.

After she left, the old man muttered somewhat displeased: "This girl talks to me as if coaxing a child!"

Helian Hao gently knocked twice on the door, then opened it herself.

She knew Mu Yichen wasn’t home, Jing Feng had gone out of town to play with Mu Yichen, so she went in on her own.

Qin Mu was sleeping, or maybe just resting with her eyes closed, hugging the quilt; her face indeed as pale as Mu Yichen described.

Furthermore, just standing next to her, you could feel the heat from her body.

"Ermu?"

Helian Hao softly called her.

Upon hearing Helian Hao’s voice, Qin Mu slowly opened her eyes, then wearily turned her head: "Why are you here?"

Helian Hao straightened up, thinking indeed you weren’t asleep.

"Mu Yichen texted me saying you’re sick and asked me to come help with an IV!"

"No need!"

As soon as Qin Mu heard Mu Yichen had asked her to come, she rejected it instinctively.

"It’s one thing to be mad at him, but to be mad at your body, isn’t that just hurting yourself?"

Helian Hao told her, without bothering to ask if she had taken her temperature, directly handing her the thermometer she brought from the hospital. Qin Mu lay on her side hugging the quilt, looking unwilling, so Helian Hao simply reached out and placed it under her arm, regardless of how cold her own hands were.

Qin Mu’s face immediately showed a pained expression from the cold.

Helian Hao saw her enduring look and chuckled once, then stood up to remove her coat and put it aside, walking back to sit beside her.

"Mu Yichen is just an ordinary man, he doesn’t have supernatural insight to predict that Qin Mingzhu would be bullied. Why did she suddenly pull over while driving on the road? Wasn’t that deliberately giving someone the chance to bully her?"

Helian Hao already understood the whole situation from Yang Bo! So now she could sit by Qin Mu, reasoning with her.

"Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Helian Hao finished speaking and turned to look at Qin Mu.

But Qin Mu didn’t speak. Her throat was already sore, making talking difficult, let alone that Helian Hao was serving as Mu Yichen’s spokesperson now.

"Sigh! You know Mu Yichen’s temper, didn’t you say you stopped caring about these things? Last time you even told me if you got angry at Mu Yichen, you’d be long dead from it, so you decided to let bygones be bygones, did you forget?"

Helian Hao tilted her body and looked at her, trying to bring up some past events.

"Xiaohao! I feel awful!"

"Hmm?"

"My throat!"

Helian Hao...

So she didn’t plan on talking?

Helian Hao helplessly sighed: "Alright then, since you have such a compelling excuse now!"

"It’s not an excuse!"

Qin Mu refused to accept, sitting up to lean against the headboard, stubbornly looking at Helian Hao to argue.
