Chapter 258 Return to the Palace

Wandering around the street, we finally stopped at the door of a pub.

When people are extremely depressed, alcohol is a good thing to dispel emotions.

She has a good alcohol tolerance, but no matter how good a person's alcohol tolerance is, he can't resist mixing white wine, red wine and beer.

She drank quickly and anxiously, and didn't even want food. The boss thought that business had come at first, but the more she drank, the more scared he became.

He was afraid that she would get into trouble if she drank too much.

So when she finished drinking and asked for more, he didn't give her any, "Miss, you have drunk a lot, otherwise order some food to eat, our stir-fried yellow beef is delicious."

"I'm not hungry," Qiao Ruoxing held up her head, her cheeks were already flushed, and she looked a little drunk, but she spoke very clearly, "Open me another bottle of wine."

"Miss, I see you drove here, why don't you call a designated driver first? What if you get drunk later, how will you go back? Your family will be worried."

"I don't have a home," Qiao Ruoxing said hoarsely, My mother is gone, no one is waiting for me to go back, and no one is worried about me anymore. "

The boss saw that Qiao Ruoxing was only a few years older than his daughter, and couldn't help but counsel her, "You can't abuse your body. If your mother knew, she would be so sad."

Qiao Ruoxing sobbed and didn't speak. The boss poured her a glass of water, "There is no hurdle in life that you can't overcome. Drink it, sleep, and live well when you wake up."

Qiao Ruoxing didn't ask for more wine. She drank the water slowly. Seeing that she was in good condition, the boss went to greet other customers.

When the store was not too busy, he saw that the girl was actually sleeping on the table.

The phone on the table kept ringing, but she didn't hear it at all. The boss called for a long time but couldn't get her to answer the phone, so he answered it for her.

Mo Mingxuan had already filed a lawsuit in court for the case of reputation rights. He reviewed some of the evidence he had collected before at night and wanted to check with Qiao Ruoxing again, so he called her.

As a result, it was not Qiao Ruoxing who answered the phone, but a strange middle-aged male voice.

"Hello."

Mo Mingxuan was stunned, "Who are you?"

"Oh, the call is from a customer in my store. She drank too much and is sleeping here. I couldn't wake her up, so I answered the phone for her."

Mo Mingxuan frowned, "You mean she's drinking? Alone?"

"Yes, she drove here alone. Are you her friend? Can you come and pick her up? My store will be closed soon."

"Where is the address of your store?"

The boss quickly reported the address.

Mo Mingxuan said, "I'll be there right away. Please help me take care of her."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Mo Mingxuan picked up his coat and went out.

Mother Mo was chatting with Gu Jingyang downstairs. When she saw Mo Mingxuan coming out, she quickly called him, "Mingxuan, are you done? Jingyang has been waiting here for a long time. She was afraid that you would be hungry after working at night, so she brought you some pig stomach and chicken. She made them herself. Come down and try them."

When Gu Jingyang saw Mo Mingxuan, his eyes were straight, and his voice was softer than usual. "I was chatting with my aunt in the afternoon. She said that you have a bad appetite recently. I remember that you liked to eat this the most before, so I tried to make it. It may not be so good, but it tastes okay."

Mother Mo smiled, "It's already very good. I couldn't compare with your skills when I was young."

Mo Mingxuan walked straight to At the entrance, while changing shoes, he said, "No, you guys eat, I'm going out to meet a client."

Mom frowned, "You have to meet a client so late?"

"There is a case that will be heard in court soon," Mo Mingxuan put on his coat, tidied it in front of the coat mirror, and said lightly, "I have to check the details again."

"Can't you tell me on the phone?" Mo's mother was obviously unhappy, "How long has your headache been cured? The doctor told you to try not to stay up late. When have you ever come back without working overtime?"

"I have taken people's money, so I naturally have to do my best to help them." Mo Mingxuan buttoned up, "I'll go first, you guys eat slowly."

After saying that, he left.

Gu Jingyang's face was cold, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Mom also felt that her son's resistance was a bit too obvious.

When Gu Jingyang was injured, Mo's mother persuaded Mo Mingxuan to visit him several times, but Mo Mingxuan always refused on the grounds of work.

From the time Gu Jingyang was beaten to the time he recovered, Mo's mother went to see him twice, but Mo Mingxuan never went once.

Every time when visiting, Gu Jingyang would ask why Mo Mingxuan didn't come, and Mo's mother would make excuses, saying that Mingxuan bought the things, he was busy recently, etc., to excuse her son.

Gu Jingyang believed it without a doubt, and when he recovered, he immediately ran to the Mo family to find Mingxuan.

But Mingxuan's attitude was too cold.

Yesterday he barely ate two bites, but today he was too lazy to even look at it, and directly said that he had to meet a client and ran away.

What client did he have to meet in the middle of the night? He couldn't even make up a decent lie.

"Jingyang, we eat, don't worry about him, he just has no good luck."

Gu Jingyang forced a smile, and after a while he said, "Auntie, what kind of girls does Brother Mingxuan like? What type of girls did he date before?"

Mo's mother paused, then smiled, "Where has Mingxuan ever had a girlfriend? If he had a girlfriend, I wouldn't be so anxious."

Gu Jingyang frowned. Why did she remember that when she was a child, she seemed to have heard Shen Qingchuan say that Mingxuan's girlfriend was like this and that?

Did she remember it wrong?

"Jingyang, you don't need to care what Mingxuan likes, and you don't need to cater to him deliberately. As long as your personalities match and Mingxuan is willing, you don't have to worry about the Mo family."

Gu Jingyang immediately blushed, "Thank you, Auntie."

Mo Mingxuan looked for the address and finally found the tavern more than half an hour later.

It was already past ten o'clock, and there were no customers in the tavern. The boss had cleaned up the store and sat at the counter to check today's income.

I heard the door open, looked up and saw a handsome man walked in, and immediately said, "Sorry, it's closed."

Mo Mingxuan saw Qiao Ruoxing lying on the table, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, "I'll pick someone up."

"Are you the gentleman on the phone?"

Mo Mingxuan nodded, "How much is the wine? I'll pay the bill first."

"No, no, this lady has already paid, you can just take her away."

Mo Mingxuan put the wallet away again.

He walked up to Qiao Ruoxing, patted her shoulder gently, and called her name, "Ruoxing?"

Qiao Ruoxing frowned, but did not open her eyes. She seemed to feel a little unhappy that her sweet dream was disturbed.

Mo Mingxuan called her for a long time, but seeing that she was indifferent, he bent down and carried her horizontally.

Qiao Ruoxing's body was very soft and almost weightless in his hands.

Mo Mingxuan's heartbeat was a little unbalanced.

As if she disliked the uncomfortable posture of his holding, Qiao Ruoxing moved her body and habitually put one hand on his neck and hooked it tightly, "Xiao Yanzi, carry me back to the palace."

Mo Mingxuan...
