Chapter 123. A pregnant woman whose mother relied on her child
Dịch máy
A few minutes after Dongfang Yu alighted from the car, the diesel was delivered. Mu Ru did not even see who had delivered it because she did not look out of the window.
Very soon, Dongfang Yu got into the driver's seat once again and started the car to drive towards Dharma Temple. Their trip went smoothly. About fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Dharma Temple.
Dongfang Mei and Xi Muxue had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that they had just arrived, Xi Muxue looked at them suspiciously. As soon as Dongfang Yu got out of the car, she ran to his side and asked, "Yu, what took you so long? Traffic wasn't heavy."
"Indeed, traffic wasn't heavy," Dongfang Yu said calmly. He looked at Aunt Gu and said, "But Big Brother's car probably hasn't been driven for a long time. Uncle Liu forgot to fill up the car yesterday, and it ran out of diesel. I took a taxi to the gas station to buy a gallon of diesel, so I was delayed for a while."
After hearing Dongfang Yu's explanation, Aunt Gu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Ah Mo really rarely uses that car. It hasn't been modified, and he can't fit his wheelchair inside. Uncle Liu and Ah Mo returned home late last night, so Uncle Liu probably didn't have enough time to check the fuel."
Xi Muxue didn't ask any more questions. They all huddled up and took up the incense sticks. They started walking up towards the Dharma Temple, which was halfway up the mountain.
They had a long way to go. Since Xi Muxue was a pregnant woman, she had gone up only a few steps when started to cry out that she was tired. She panted heavily, looking very weak. In fact, she just wanted Dongfang Yu to support her.
Of course, Dongfang Yu should have been more attentive to Xi Muxue, but he was not interested in being of any support to Mu Xue. On the way up the mountain, he met many beautiful women. They were even flirting with him. He was so engrossed in looking at the many beautiful women he came across that he had completely forgotten having a pregnant wife.
Xi Muxue was unhappy, and she lost her patience. Dongfang Yu was already walking a few meters in front of her. "Dongfang Yu, I can't walk anymore!" she shrieked.
Dongfang Yu stopped and turned around when he heard Xi Muxue's sharp voice. He looked at her, frowned, and said, "All right, if you can't walk, then don't go up. Anyway, Mu Ru is the mistress of the Dongfang family. She can just go up and make the petition for you. It doesn't matter whether you go or not."
Xi Muxue was so angry. She stomped her feet and snorted. She wanted to throw a tantrum, but Dongfang Yu had already continued walking forward, completely ignoring her.
Xi Muxue's face turned red with anger. She turned her head and saw Mu Ru right behind her. She shouted, "Xi Muru, come and help me up. I can't walk anymore!"
Mu Ru frowned and said, "Second Madam, can't you just let Second Young Master help you up? Why is he walking ahead of you?"
"Xi Muru, don't forget that I'm pregnant with the Dongfang family's child now. Big Brother promised us that you will take care of me. How can you refuse to help me now that I need your assistance?" Mu Xue was again venting all her anger on Mu Ru. "Will you be responsible if I fall?" Mu Xue asked Mu Ru.
Mu Ru was both angry and amused with Mu Xue's behavior. It was so like Mu Xue to vent her anger on Mu Ru. Mu Ru had gotten used to it.
If Xi Muxue had asked her properly, she would have just helped her up. However, Mu Ru felt wronged that Mu Xue would always yell at her. There were many pedestrians passing by, and they looked at Mu Ru and Mu Xue when Mu Xue shrieked. To other people, it would seem like she was yelling at her servant. Mu Ru found it unjust.
Indeed, Mu Ru was responsible for taking care of Mu Xue, but since they weren't at the Dongfang house, was she still responsible for Mu Xue?
