663: Chapter 86: Li Ya is as Bad as Ever 663: Chapter 86: Li Ya is as Bad as Ever “Ah, handsome, whom are you looking for?”
Several months without seeing her, Li Ya’s belly was noticeably grown, radiating an aura of a virtuous wife and good mother.
It easily gave others who didn’t know her the illusion that she indeed was a virtuous wife and good mother.
Li Mumu certainly didn’t believe her own poor disguise could deceive her eyes.
Moreover, a real witch doesn’t use her naked eyes to observe things.
Taking off her sunglasses, Li Mumu entered the house brazenly, sat down on the sofa, and took a bite of the fresh peach on the table.
“Tell me, what do you want from me?”
The question seemed brainless, considering it was Li Mumu herself who decided to come home for a visit.
But the thought of “going home to see” just popped into her head unintentionally.
Just a thought, without any particular reason.
Had it been in the past, Li Mumu might not have noticed anything unusual.
But she was no longer the old Li Mumu who disliked studying.
She had forcefully digested half of the “String Theory.”
Although she hadn’t learned much of the unique spells of a witch, theoretically, she could easily outmatch those traditional witches.
“Knowing the reason behind it” is very important.
Like a magic show, where the magician shouts, ‘I need a volunteer from the audience!’ In reality, those chosen are all plants.
The so-called divination magic of witches is also somewhat similar.
Cursing you that at the age of eighteen you will be pricked to death by a spindle, even if your father orders all the spinning wheels in the country be destroyed, when the time comes she will somehow find a way to prick you with a spindle.
A witch proficient in divination magic can manipulate the String of Destiny, subtly guiding you down the path she desires when you face life’s choices.
It’s almost impossible to guard against.
“I just want to see my own daughter, is there anything wrong with that?”
“No one said it’s wrong, dear Mommy, I miss you too.”
“Then why not move back in?”
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist kicking your belly in the middle of the night.”
Li Mumu spoke candidly.
“Don’t be so harsh on your sister who hasn’t even been born yet.”
“She started it first.”
“Anyhow, you are the elder sister, can’t you be a bit more lenient towards your younger sister?”
“I’ve already given up my own home, what more do you want me to concede?”
“Wuwuwu, you weren’t before…”
“Stop fake crying, Mommy, you weren’t before either.”
Li Mumu, biting into the peach, scoffed: “I’ve just developed another self, I haven’t lost my memory.
I remember clearly what you used to be like.
Just because I did not have the talent of a witch, you didn’t treat me as your daughter, you barely even wanted to look at me more.
When I was little, I couldn’t even have breast milk; it was my dad who had to pay for a wet nurse.”
“Afterwards, why did I hang out with Wendy every day?
Was it not because there was nothing to eat at home?
Every time you checked my homework and found I didn’t meet your expectations, you would scold me harshly and punish me by making me stand outside to reflect.
Always muttering that it would be better to have pork belly instead of having me, looking at me as if I were trash.
If my dad was ever a bit nice to me, you’d get jealous…
You can’t say I made all this up, right?”
“It’s all made up by you.”
Li Ya denied it without changing her expression: “Actually, these are false memories left in your brain by the oscillations of the Temporal Tide.
They are stories from another world line; in fact, mom has always loved you, you just don’t remember.”
Li Mumu sneered, “You can say that, but during the time I lived at school, apart from the one time I called you, you never called me.
That’s not a fake memory, is it?”
“There’s only you left at home, you don’t know how happy I am.”
Li Ya sat down beside Li Mumu, embracing her shoulders, she licked her lips, and after carefully inspecting her for a while, nodded and said: “Okay, whatever you say is right.
You’re right, mom was wrong.
Your dad has social engagements tonight outside, how about you stay and sleep with mom?”
This person’s mind really contained nothing serious!
Li Mumu looked at Li Ya coldly: “Stick to the matter at hand.”
“Mom is getting less mobile now; could we have that little maid you bought come back to take care of mom?”
“Why not let dad hire another maid for you?”
“It’s mainly because there isn’t quite the right fit; I don’t like the older ones, and for the younger ones…
I worry your dad might cheat behind my back.
You know how it is, right?
Men are very likely to cheat when their wives are pregnant.”
If my dad could tolerate you for so many years, he wouldn’t wait till now to cheat.
Li Mumu was about to retort, but upon a second thought, it seemed somewhat inconsistent with the stereotypical image of Li Ya in her mind.
Although she is a horrible person in many senses,
one thing is undeniable, her capability as a Witch.
Li Ya is a genuine Witch, the kind of scientific leader who can manually write papers and publish frontier theories.
Undeniably, the past and future of this family are all under the control of Li Ya.
This home can truly be called her magic workshop.
A Witch finding out her man cheated in her own den—this is as absurd as a martial arts master discovering a beggar coming to challenge his hall and killing his top disciple.
From a witch’s mouth, you can neither believe everything nor discredit everything.
Either Li Ya is joking, but such jokes are usually shared privately with Mu Yuming, and there’s no need to tell Li Mumu,
she actually saw an unpleasant future that she is powerless against.
After all, there isn’t only one High-Dimensional String in this world; while a witch can intervene in destiny, so can others.
“Is dad really having an affair?”
Your dad has always been loyal to me!”
Mu Yuming’s jokes Li Ya might make, but she does not allow anyone else to make them, not even her own daughter.
“But in other people’s eyes, it’s different, your dad is about to succeed in his career, and if he has a son…”
“Isn’t having children a negative?”
“What are you thinking, I’m not talking about the vixens outside.
No matter what, your dad is a Mu, a noble surname from the Former Dynasty.”
Li Mumu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: “Are you saying the Mu Family might come looking?”
“There’s an old saying, poverty in the bustling market draws no inquiry, but wealth in the remote mountains attracts distant relatives.
Even if your dad doesn’t want to associate with those barely related relatives, once he succeeds, it’s inevitable that those relatives will come knocking.”
