The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 238 Hit Someone

Mu Rongxu went silent for a while while he seemed to be struggling. Finally, he summoned up some courage and said, "I want to take my father down!"

"Oh?" Murong Ye was astounded again. He'd had no idea that Murong Xu would ask him to do such a thing. Murong Xu was indeed different from what he used to be.

Murong Ye immediately asked, "Why?"

"I fell out with him, and he even started to undermine Xuanxuan's father's company. He just did that to make me compromise, but I will not let him. I despise him for doing so. Thus, I decided that only by taking him down will I be able to completely prevent him from sabotaging my relations.h.i.+p with Xuanxuan."

"But this is not the only way, is it? You chose the most ruthless way to take your father down."

"I have no other way. It's my father after all. I don't want to see him like this. I just want him to be completely defeated once. Only when he tastes failure himself, will he learn how to respect others."

"You study psychology, so you should know the consequences of doing so. Especially since he may not accept his failure and be completely defeated and unable to get up again. You should know uncle's personality the best."

"Of course I know that, but I'm confident that, with my help, he will pull himself together in the end. I have to teach him a lesson now."

"But why did you ask for my help? Maybe I'm not the right person!"

"No, you are perfect. You're the only one who can do it. No one else has the necessary ability and power."

"I'm flattered that you think so highly of me, but this is no small matter. Let me think about it."

"Fine, but you have to know that I don't have much time. He could destroy Xuanxuan's father just in one night."

"Once Second Uncle discovers what I did last night, there will be a fierce battle between us."

"I will not let you take the blame. I will take all the responsibility on my own."

"Finding out that it was you who did it would be the hardest thing for Second Uncle to accept. Your life would be even harder."

"When he told me to never come back home, we were already on opposite sides!"

"Now, can you tell me why on earth you're going against your father?"

Murong Xu told Murong Ye what had happened with Zhuang Yaru a few days ago and explained Murong Haotian's att.i.tude. Finally, he said, "I will marry Xuanxuan as soon as possible. Even if I can't get their blessing, I will never fail Xuanxuan."

"I support you on this point. You should take responsibility like a man. It must be more than just the two of you now."

"I'm glad you can support me. Thank you, big brother."

"Don't mention it."

"No, to be honest, my own brother didn't support me like that."

"I can only say that we're different."

"By the way, why did you come back early? I heard that you wouldn't be back until the Spring Festival."

"Something has happened to Xiao Xi."

"What's wrong?"

"Something is wrong with her eyes. She was poisoned by an unknown toxin, so we used an antidote. This medicine is the latest invention of the Blood Research Center in the United States. It has not yet pa.s.sed clinical trials, so its effect is still unknown. We don't know what it may cause. Unfortunately, Xiao Xi lost her sight after taking the medicine."

"How could this be?"

"Well, I brought her back and asked Mister Xu to give it a try, as no one knows how to cure her now."

"How is Xiao Xi right now? Shall I ask Xuanxuan to keep her company?"

"Sure, Xuanxuan and Xiao Xi have been friends for years. They grew up together. Staying with Xuanxuan may make her feel better."

"But how could Xiao Xi have been poisoned?"

"It's a long story."

After hanging up with Murong Xu, Murong Ye's eyes turned dim. There were pros and cons to Murong Xu's proposal, so he couldn't be sure about the decision.

Meanwhile, Murong Xu hung up the phone and leaned against the fence of the balcony, looking at Gu Yuxuan in the room.

Gu Yuxuan was leaning over the bed, reading a book. Gu Chengkang had bought a lot of books about pregnancy. When Gu Yuxuan had nothing else to do, she would pick one or two books to read.

As he looked at the sweet maternal smile on her face, Murong Xu felt warm in his heart. He knew that all the decisions he had made were worthwhile. Maybe this decision was too extreme, but he still believed that it was worthwhile to take any risk for Xuanxuan and their baby.

He put his cell phone in his pocket, opened the door and walked into the room. Then, he sat down beside Gu Yuxuan, gently embracing her with his arms.

"What are you reading?"

"Xu, you know what? This book is amazing. It says that when a baby is still in its mother's womb, he/she can hear what his father and mother say to him/her. The father's words are particularly clear, because a man's voice is so low that it can easily pa.s.s through the amniotic fluid and reach the baby. It also says that the father's fetal education is very effective. In the future, you should spend some time each day to get fetal education for the baby. You can't be lazy when it comes to this. Besides, the mom's mood has a great impact on the baby's personality, so I will remain in a good mood from now on. I want my baby to have a cheerful, outgoing personality."

As Murong Xu listened to Gu Yuxuan reading the words aloud, he was touched again. Then, he said with a light laugh, "Does it say that a mom should go to bed early, which is also good for the baby?"

"Huh? Xu, have you read this book before? It really says that a mother's standard schedule will regulate the child's routine in the future."

"Ha ha! I haven't read it, but it's common sense. I have studied psychology, so I should know this basic information."

"Wow, you're brilliant. It's the first time you'll be a father, yet you already know so much. What else do you know? Can you tell me everything?"

"Well, I'll tell you some other time. Now, it's time for you to go to bed!"

"Okay, you're the boss. "

Gu Yuxuan lay down obediently and got under the quilt. She left her small head outside, her pair of beautiful eyes sparkling.

Although Murong Xu's heart was moved, he only left a kiss on her forehead.

"By the way, you should meet Xiao Xi tomorrow."

"Xiao Xi? Isn't she still in America?"

"She came back today."

"It's great to have her back. I haven't seen her in a long time. I've missed her."

"But..."

Murong Xu hesitated. Hearing the news was one thing, but telling the news was another. Although he had just felt surprise at the begining, he didn't know how to say it now.

"What's the matter?"

"Something's wrong with Xiao Xi."

"What's wrong with Xiao Xi?"

Gu Yuxuan could no longer keep calm. She suddenly sat up, pushed back the quilt and stared at Murong Xu nervously.

"Xuanxuan, calm down. Watch out for the baby."

"Well, I'm fine. Tell me what happened to Xiao Xi!"

"Xiao Xi has lost her sight."

"She is blind? How come?"

"Brother said it was poison, but the situation is very complicated. You may cheer her up by going to see her tomorrow and staying with her for a while."

"Okay."

Gu Yuxuan was not sleepy at all after hearing Murong Xu's words. She wanted to see Murong Yunxi right away. When it came to the friend she had grown up with, she couldn't stay indifferent.

It took Murong Xu a long time to get Gu Yuxuan to fall sleep. Unconsciously, he thought it would be just as hard to get their baby to sleep in the future.

The next morning, Gu Yuxuan got up early.

It was morning rush hour, so there was a traffic jam on the road. Gu Yuxuan, who was anxious to see Murong Yunxi, let the driver take a shortcut so that she could see Murong Yunxi as soon as possible.

The car was pa.s.sing through an alley. When it was about to turn, a woman suddenly jumped in the same direction. The car was unable to brake in time so it ended up hitting the woman.

When Gu Yuxuan saw the car hit someone, she panicked. The driver instantly got out of the car and checked on the situation.

The woman seemed to be angry about the driver's driving. She was on the ground as she argued with the driver.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't you know this is a one-way street?"

"Sorry! I'm so sorry, we were in a hurry. I missed the sign and didn't notice it was a one-way street."

"How can you drive without looking at the signs? Do you have a driver's license? Can you read the signs at all?"

"Lady, like I said, I just missed it. I do know what the sign means."

"Hey, you took the wrong way and you hit somebody. How could you be so a.s.sertive?"

"I didn't say I did the right thing. I apologized to you. If you're injured, I could take you to the hospital. You can't be this unreasonable."

"I'm unreasonable? What's wrong with you? This is totally your fault, okay?"

"Yes, I was wrong first. I apologize. I'm sorry."

"Are you apologizing? What a perfunctory att.i.tude!"

"What do you want me to do, Miss? What do you want?"

"What do I want? I don't want anything. I just want you to give me a sincere apology and take me to the hospital for an examination."

"That's fair. That's what I meant to do at first. I was going to apologize and take you to the hospital. You just kept messing around."

"See, your att.i.tude is the problem. You said I was being unreasonable, and now you said I'm messing around. That's your idea of an apology!"

"Miss, like I said, I'm sorry. What else do you want? I see... Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"Hey, you..."

The more Gu Yuxuan listened in the car, the more restless she became. Their quarrel seemed to go on forever. Thus, she got out and walked quickly to the front of the car.

On the ground sat a tall, thin girl. Judging from her back, she seemed to be a beautiful young girl. However, she sounded really p.i.s.sed off. No wonder the driver could not deal with her.

"Young lady, my driver really didn't mean to do this. We took the wrong way. Could you forgive us, please? If you are injured, we will take you to the hospital and take responsibility."

When the girl heard the voice behind her, she turned around in surprise. "It's you?"
