章 26: Exposed? (II)
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
The truth was that Bai Wei had left out many details.
For example, Mu Ling had stuffed the snake into Mu Zi's skirt. The little girl had been scared to death and wet herself in public, and ended up suffering ridicule and mockery.
Furthermore, Mrs. Mu had been biased towards Mu Ling and one-sidedly reprimanded Mu Zi for being humiliated, forcing her to accept the so-called gift.
Some injuries were etched in one's memories. Since her daughter had forgotten, Bai Wei did not want to mention them again.
During that time, she had a very hard time raising a pair of children.
After Elder Mu's death, Mrs. Mu took charge of the Mu family. Mu Zi became introverted and sensitive because she was living under someone else's roof, and the Mu family sisters' bullying grew worse. After that incident, Mu Zi never smiled again...
Bai Wei tried to escape countless times.
However, because she was weak, she had made compromises over and over again… She had always thought that if she endured it, she would be fine. If she had just bore with it, the night would pass and it would be day again.
She felt guilty towards Mu Zi. If it had not been for her incompetence, her daughter would not have ended up like how she was today...
…
Mu Zi had none of the original owner's memories.
After hearing what Bai Wei had said, the hate she felt for the Mu family sisters intensified, and she grew even more fearful of Mu Rongcheng!
—Just what was Mu Rongcheng trying to do?!
The most puzzling thing was how did he recognize her?!
Even if he felt that there was something wrong with his sister, he should not have thought that she was Su Zi inside!
Mu Zi felt like collapsing.
She had not gotten her revenge but someone had already caught her tail. She really could not be happy about this at all.
The moment she thought about the ticking time bomb that was Mu Rongcheng, she felt frightful and depressed.
Mu Zi looked discontented, but Bai Wei thought that it was because she was recalling the past when she had been bullied. She patted her daughters back with great affection.
Footsteps sounded from outside.
Someone was coming.
Mu Zi helped Bai Wei carry out the hot breakfast and saw Mu Rongcheng sitting languidly in the chair, waiting for food to be placed on the table.
His looks were too outstanding. Even with such a lazy attitude, he still appeared charming and cool. Even if he was a rich playboy, he must be the most extraordinarily handsome one.
Mu Zi did not think that he would really come over for breakfast. Her eyes went wide as she stared in shock!
Bai Wei, however, smiled happily. They had not had breakfast together as a family for a long time.
"Wonton noodles for today, huh. It looks good." Mu Rongcheng glanced at the meal, acting completely normal.
Mu Zi's heart thundered in her chest.
She ground her teeth secretly, thinking, 'Even if Mu Rongcheng wants to expose me, I'll never admit it!'
Besides, he did not have any substantial evidence. As long as she did not admit it, he could not do anything either!
…
Mu Zi sat down to eat, but deliberately left an extra seat between them.
She decided to keep a low profile. At the very least, wherever Mu Rongcheng was, she would stay low!
"Oh, it's shrimp fillings." Mu Rongcheng took the spoon and casually stirred the soup in the bowl. "Doesn't Zizi hate eating shrimp the most?"
"..." Mu Zi immediately felt the food getting stuck in her throat!
'I can't swallow but I can't spit it out either!'
Then, she saw Bai Wei's confused expression from across her. "Zizi doesn't like to eat shrimp?"
Mu Zi felt like she was enlightened!
Bai Wei loved her children. If she had known that Mu Zi did not eat shrimp, she would never make this bowl of wonton noodles!
That Mu Rongcheng was toying with her again!
When was he going to stop testing her?!
Mu Zi's heart: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
