She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 140 - 0: The More I Look at Her, the More Pleasant She Appears

Chapter 140 -0140: The More I Look at Her, the More Pleasant She Appears

Huo Tingxiao paused, then actually placed his mobile phone on the table and pushed it directly in front of Mu Lan, letting her see for herself.

Mu Lan was startled, this was the first time Huo Tingxiao had actively offered her his phone to look at. She couldn’t help but feel a strange emotion that she couldn’t quite put her finger on.

She looked down at the message on the screen.

——”Tingxiao brother, I’m really sorry, I sincerely apologize to you and your wife. I was too willful in the past, and too concerned about my sister, so I did some wrong things. I’m truly, truly very sorry. I know that saying this now can’t make up for anything, but I want to let go of all the guilt in my heart before my life ends. Consider this my last act of selfishness. I hope you and your wife will be well and happy forever—Xueqian.”

“What does she mean by ‘life ending’? She couldn’t be thinking of…”

Suddenly rising from her seat, Mu Lan became somewhat agitated.

“You should contact the Sheng Family quickly, no matter whether it’s true or not. Don’t wait until something happens, and it ends up being blamed on you.”

Watching Mu Lan in such a hurry, there was a hint of a smile in Huo Tingxiao’s dark eyes.

“Yes, you’re right, I should indeed contact the Sheng Family.”

As he spoke, he picked up the phone and called Sheng Yunwu.

Mu Lan frowned, staring intently at Huo Tingxiao, thinking that the Sheng sisters were really something—both of them couldn’t seem to leave Tingxiao alone, whether out of discomfort or something else.

Strangely, when she looked at this letter of apology from Sheng Xueqian, it felt awkward to her, and perhaps it was her own pettiness. When it came to people she disliked, everything they did was unappealing to her.

Huo Tingxiao briefly described the situation. Sheng Yunwen was so frightened at his company that he immediately instructed his family to go check Sheng Xueqian’s room.

The bedroom door was locked, so the servants hurriedly found a spare key to unlock it. Lying on the bed, Sheng Xueqian had swallowed thirty pills of Valium, and there were scattered medicine bottles and pills on the bedside table, along with a letter, presumably a suicide note. After a chaotic scramble, Sheng Xueqian was sent to the hospital for emergency gastric lavage and was out of life-threatening danger.

Originally, Huo Tingxiao had no intention of visiting Sheng Xueqian, but Mu Lan felt that they should resolve this matter out of courtesy, or to clear their involvement—either way, they had to settle things with a face-to-face conversation.

“Tingxiao, I’m so grateful you made this call. Otherwise…”

Sheng Yunwen’s eyes held tears, truly shaken by his daughter’s attempt at suicide.

Huo Tingxiao didn’t say much to comfort him, just lightly remarked:

“Now that Xueqian is out of danger, that’s good.”

Mu Lan really wanted to ask why someone would attempt suicide out of the blue but, seeing the pain the family was in, she felt it was inappropriate to speak up.

Soon after, Sheng Yunwen’s elder son, Sheng Yunwu, hurried over.

“Yunwu, Qianqian is alright, isn’t she? I came as soon as I heard the news. How could she suddenly do such a foolish thing? Ah, this silly child.”

Sheng Yunwen, who had always been respected by his elder brother, lost his usual good temper at that moment.

“I’m flattered that big brother could come despite being so busy. Qianqian was just resuscitated, this time if it wasn’t for Tingxiao, I might not even have been able to see my daughter.

Here is the suicide note she left behind. As for why she did something foolish, big brother can see for himself.

If it wasn’t to prove her innocence, why would she do such a foolish thing? If your daughter hadn’t pressured her, would she be lying in the hospital now?

She’s my only daughter; if something had happened to her, I might as well not live either!”

Mu Lan’s gaze fell on the so-called suicide note, and even from the corner of her eye, she could make out some of it.

Combining it with Sheng Yunwen’s complexion and Sheng Yunwu’s scattered remarks, she also had a rough idea of what had happened.

It seems like the Sheng Family had quite a commotion yesterday.

Sheng Yunwen subconsciously glanced at Huo Tingxiao. After all, this was the Sheng Family’s business, and discussing such matters in front of an outsider was really losing face.

“Don’t get worked up. The child is safe now, and that’s what matters. You know what Xueqin’s temperament is like. She has always doted on Qianqian, and you’ve seen it with your own eyes. This was just… a misunderstanding.

Since when did these two sisters have irreconcilable hatred? Qianqian acted rashly out of impulse; you can’t be foolish as well.”

Mu Lan finally knew where Sheng Xueqin got her white lotus act from. Tsk, tsk, tsk, impressive; she managed to put all the blame on Sheng Xueqian.

“What do you mean by that? Are you saying it’s all our Qianqian’s fault? Your esteemed Miss Sheng isn’t at fault at all?”

“Yunwu, Tingxiao is still here. Don’t let others make a laughingstock of us.”

“The joke’s been on display for a while now, it doesn’t make much difference at this point.

Anyway, I’m making my stance clear today. If Miss Sheng doesn’t personally apologize to Qianqian, I won’t let this matter rest.”

Expecting Sheng Xueqin to apologize? Mu Lan thought to herself that this second son of the Sheng Family was really daring to dream. Making Sheng Xueqin apologize was probably harder than asking her to die.

Not interested in continuing to listen to their family gossip, Mu Lan gently tugged at Huo Tingxiao’s sleeve.

Huo Tingxiao quickly got the hint and spoke up:

“Since everyone is alright now, we’ll take our leave first and won’t disturb you any further.”

A polite smile stayed on Sheng Yunwen’s face.

“Tingxiao, I really appreciate your help this time.”

“You are too kind. My wife felt that with such a sudden incident, it was only right and proper to come and see for ourselves.”

The Sheng brothers looked at Mu Lan. They had never taken the Mu Family’s daughter seriously before, but now it seemed that Tingxiao cared quite a bit about her.

Mu Lan found today’s crowd rather peculiar. Initially, they all treated her as if she were invisible, but as soon as Tingxiao said something, her status soared right before their eyes. Their gaze was now undisguised and naked.

They say there’s no business without deceit, but there’s no need to go to such lengths. The degree of their opportunistic behavior was indeed baffling.

Sheng Yunwu escorted them to the elevator and expressed his thanks profusely. After a round of pleasantries, Mu Lan really felt she still had much to learn.

“I really didn’t expect the Sheng Family’s drama yesterday to be so intense. Tell me, did Sheng Xueqian really collude with outsiders to set up her own cousin? To be honest, I never expected such scheming from a young girl like her.”

“You always take such an interest in other people’s affairs,” Tingxiao commented, his tone neither salty nor bland, but Mu Lan still detected an underlying meaning.

“How is this someone else’s affair? If not for you being the root cause, would all of this have happened?

It’s often said that beauties bring disaster, but the troubles men like you cause shouldn’t be underestimated either,” she teased.

Looking at Mu Lan speak with such authority and seeing the endearment in Tingxiao’s eyes, it was clear he was under her spell. No matter how he looked at her now, she appeared pleasing to his eyes, adorable. Even her somewhat sarcastic remarks seemed to leave a sweet taste in his heart.

“What, are you jealous?”

“Please, narcissist, who’s jealous of you? I’m just trying to wrap my head around the ins and outs of the whole mess, finding a place for my curious heart.

And besides, there’s still one thing that I just can’t make sense of…”
