Before Mu Chen climbed up the stairs, he said, "Turn off the TV!"
Ye Xin felt as though she was soaked in ice water. No, she felt as though she had been frozen for 1,000 years. As it turned out, she was so disgusting in Mu Chen's heart.
Previously, no matter what Mu Chen said or how affectionate he was with Song Ning, Ye Xin did not believe that he did not have the slightest feelings for her. There had always been hope in her heart. She had liked him for so many years, and with her qualifications and appearance, it was impossible for him not to be moved at all. Moreover, he had once 'proposed' to her. Hence, she was convinced he liked her, and she believed he was just angry at her. He was the Young Master of the Mu family, after all, and had never been refused in his life. It was only natural he was angry. After thinking about it, she felt that it was her fault for making him angry so she had been trying to make up for it. She was even ready to put down her pride since she firmly believed that Mu Chen liked her.
However, today, Mu Chen said these words to her, thinking she was Song Ning. Moreover, there was no one else around. If she still could not see the truth, then she was really a fool.
She collapsed limply against the couch.
On the television, Ye Xin smiled innocently and asked, "Am I a fool?"
'Yes, you're a fool!' Ye Xin raged in her heart. She was furious her brother had given up during the critical moment and locked her up in a mental hospital for the sake of the Ye family's reputation. Her brother's previous kindness to her made her certain her brother would definitely bring her out eventually and send her abroad. After all, her brother had never let her down before. It was also because of her brother's support that she dared to be arrogant and domineering outside. Hence, Mu Chen's words were like knives stabbing at her heart.
When she was out during the past few days, she had asked around discreetly and discovered that 'Ye Xin' was still in the hospital. Although her brother was aware that she had left the hospital, he had to keep up appearances and find a substitute in the mental hospital. He was afraid of ruining his career. Even if she was somewhat aware of all these facts, it was different when someone directly said it to her.
Apart from that, the words 'Madam Ye's illegitimate daughter with another man' further stabbed her heart.
Ye Xin was in so much pain that she instinctively curled up. Even breathing felt painful at this time.
"Young Madam? Young Madam! What's wrong?" A helper rushed in at this moment.
With this, Ye Xin regained her senses. She hurriedly rose to her feet and rushed to her room. She reminded herself she was no longer Ye Xin; she was Song Ning. Ye Xin was gone.
…
Meanwhile, Mu Chen kneeled in front of Jiang Jin and hugged her, burying his face in her arms. When he was young and had suffered grievances, he would throw himself into his grandmother's arms as well for her comfort.
Jiang Jin patted her grandson gently and rubbed his head. She sighed inwardly. She wondered if this was karma. Her biggest failure was not raising her son well. Her son grew up to be a heartless scumbag. How could he come up with such a despicable idea and harm her granddaughter-in-law?
'Poor Song Ning. Where's she now?'
If any harm came to Song Ning, let alone Mu Chen, even she would not let Mu Qing go.
When Jiang Jin recalled Mu Qing's usual gentleness and filial piety toward her, she felt chills running up her spine. While her son was chatting and laughing with her, inwardly, he probably could not wait for her to die, right?
After all, currently, she was an obstacle standing in his way.
