Chapter 2199
The bell must be untied, and perhaps only the truth can smooth out all the variables that are beyond control.
“Today, in front of your mother, I’ll tell you all the truth about that year.”
“In my opinion, the process by which Cheng Junyu, your father, and Muzi fell in love was simply an elaborate exploitation.”
“Originally I always felt that your appearance was just the result of their confusion overnight, that adults addressing each other’s needs inevitably had an accident, and that I supported Muzi’s insistence on having you and wanting to have a child of her own.”
“It wasn’t until your mother died and I got her legacy from my lawyer, and by checking her and Cheng Junyu’s WeChat, I realised that Cheng Junyu had taken the initiative to befriend Muzi not long after I first met Fu Shenyan, but in all those years, they never mentioned each other.”
“You know that when Cheng Junyu stayed with your father and me, it was for revenge, so his purpose in approaching Muzi was predictable, doing whatever he could to achieve his goal, that was his style, nothing bright and open, yet more than to the point of being spiteful.”
“The real abomination is the way he tramples on Muzi.”
“Muzi, like me, grew up as an orphan, and what orphans lack most is a sense of security. So gentle, he was never absent at every important stage of her life, and even without a name, Muzi was happy in this soul-suited companionship.”
“For Muzi, even if Cheng Junyu didn’t show up for ten days and half a month, when he stood in front of her again, they would not feel any distance, but their first child, he didn’t want it, Muzi listened to him, went for an abortion, and killed her own heart’s illusions, and it was then that she knew that there would be no future for them.”
“But this incident in the eyes of Cheng Jun Yu at that time, became a kind of testimony to prove her piety, even the child she could give up for him, he decided that Muzi was willing to do everything for him, finally, he exposed in front of Muzi, exposed the purpose, exposed the impurity of this relationship, she asked him to come to his senses, he refused, finally unhappy.”
“If that was all, he let Muzi go, I would still call him a man, but from that day on, he began to torment her, he was always the Svengali scum in front of her, he hugged her again and again, but his mouth shouted other women’s names, he was unhappy, he had to ruin the beauty in Muzi’s heart, to make her sad together.”
“And you, remember that big illness you had, you nearly died, all thanks to him, he was the one who kidnapped you and locked you up in a chemical factory, suffering both psychological and physical torture, he destroyed over a hundred innocent families just for what he thought was the truth.”
I exhaled Avray, licked my dry lips, looked up at the Four Seasons and laughed bitterly, “And now, still want to be close to your Mr. Chen, want to fight tooth and nail to keep him around?”
Chapter 2200
The four seasons closed their lips tightly and raised their eyes for a long time, lost in their own thoughts.
A man who was like a father and a mentor had in the blink of an eye become the culprit who had failed her mother and hurt herself, and the sky had turned upside down.
At times like this, it would be better to leave her alone.
“Calm yourself down, and feel free to ask me anything else you want to know in the future, no matter who your mother is, you will always be my daughter, and the doors of the Fu family will always be open for you.”
I breathed in to calm down and moved over to Fu Shen Yan, ready to tell him to leave.
But he seemed to have been listening to our conversation all along, turning around first and reaching out to wrap his arm around my shoulders, the corners of his lips curving upwards soothingly and back to their original shape.
Fu Shenyan looked at the Four Seasons and said, “I still have boundless expectations of you, but I hope you, for one, won’t let us down.”
I followed his lead and walked away from Muzi’s resting place.
I hadn’t gone far when I turned around as if I felt something and saw Four Seasons on his knees in front of the tombstone, his thin body trembling with sobs.
The tip of my nose was sore, and my eyes were wet with tears, so I didn’t dare to look any further, and quickened my pace.
After sending me to the car, Fu Shen Yan instructed Chen Yi to stay behind, “Keep an eye on Miss, from today onwards, she is your boss.”
Chen Yi didn’t react for a moment and froze for a moment, but still respectfully agreed, “Don’t worry, sir, with me around, Missy is very safe.”
Fu Shen Yan patted Chen Yi’s shoulder gratefully, these many years had indeed been hard on him.
Between men, everything was in words.
Soon, Fu Shen Yan got into the driver’s seat and fired up the engine.
The shade of green on both sides of the road continued to recede as I leaned back in the leather seat, wondering when the next time I would come to see Muzi would be.
Maybe Muzi didn’t necessarily want to see me either.
She had lost her life for me and I had failed to look after her only daughter, leaving Four Seasons with no sense of belonging to home to this day.
Four Seasons would like to pretend she doesn’t know anything and get on with her life, but her heart still builds walls uncontrollably, and she can’t help but restrain herself when she is close to us, to a point.
She was more upset than us who were treated coldly.
From time to time, Fu Shenyan peeked at me in the rear-view mirror, but I couldn’t understand his assertive attitude towards the Four Seasons and didn’t want to argue at this point, so I simply pretended not to see it.
“Getting angry with me?” Fu Shen Yan didn’t hold back after all and was the first to break the silence.
Since he took the initiative, I didn’t want to gamble, so I got right to the point, “If you knew that Four Seasons could possibly have known about his birth, why didn’t you tell me, why didn’t you discuss it with me, maybe there was a better way to solve it?”
The tone wasn’t very nice, but it was just matter of fact and there was no intention of taking the P*ss out of him.
In a man’s eyes, a quick fix is the most efficient, but he obviously didn’t count the vulnerability in a girl’s heart.
No matter what reason Fu Shenyan had, it was an indisputable fact that he had just forced the four seasons, and one should not use such tactics when treating family members, or those closest to them.
The words fell, Fu Shen Yan’s eyebrows tightened, then turned the steering wheel, a foot on the brakes, and parked the car steadily at the side of the road.
“Xiao Shu, you should know that under the premise of taking care of your feelings, I can’t care that much.”
“I don’t understand,” I shook my head, confused, “if that’s the case, you should know that I always put my children’s feelings first, so how can I be all about blaming? If you had faced An Xin and Zhi An with the same attitude as you did just now, I am sure that even with the bond of blood, they would only fear you in the future, and would be no better than the Four Seasons are now.”
Fu Shenyin was at a loss for a moment to refute this, and stretched his hands out in defeat, “Okay, I admit it, I didn’t do the right thing in this case.”
He turned to face me and said humbly, “First time father, not much experience, you have to give a chance to change, right?”
