The nights were getting colder especially after several days of rain.
Mu Lingshi rolled down the car window and let the wind in. The tears on her face dried up in just a mont, so only bitterness remained inside. The car was parked right outside the villa, but she could already see the tall figure standing outside the door from far away.
Ah Mo had gotten used to it. If he did not pick her up after work, he would stand outside the door and wait for her to co back. This ti, he walked over the mont the car was parked and opened the door for Mu Lingshi.
“Bro Mo!” Ah Quan got down from the car and glanced at Mu Lingshi before looking at Ah Mo hesitantly.
Ah Mo soon noticed that Ah Quan’s tone sounded odd, so he glimpsed at the bodyguard and saw his troubled gaze. Then, he turned to Mu Lingshi and quickly noticed that her eyes were slightly swollen. She lowered her head as she got out of the car and put on her sunglasses.
Ah Quan ca over and whispered beside Ah Mo’s ear, “Ms. Shi t Gu Qiwu outside Entertainnt City...”
Ah Mo’s eyes darkened as the bodyguard quietly grabbed Mu Lingshi’s belongings and brought them into the house.
“Lingshi, what happened? Ah Mo grabbed Mu Lingshi’s shoulder and looked at her.
Mu Lingshi sniffled and took a deep breath. Then, she lowered her eyes and said, “Let’s talk inside. It’s cold out here and I’m a little hungry as well.” She then walked into the house.
Ah Mo’s eyes darkened with worry as he quickly caught up with her.
Ah Mo had already prepared dinner. When Mu Lingshi sat down at the dining table, she could still see so steam rising from the dishes which were all her favorites.
Mu Lingshi started scooping so soup while Ah Mo sat down across her as he stared at her face.
After crying in the car all the way back, she was now calm as she lowered her head and tasted the soup. “I thought I could be calm when I saw Gu Qiwu, but I started feeling self-pity.”
“What did he do to you?” Ah Mo’s expression darkened instantly.
Mu Lingshi shook her head. “He didn’t do anything. Actually, I know he’s been sending people to tail even though you never told . The people last ti were his n, weren’t they?” She was not a fool and could figure it out by just a short analysis.
Gu Qiwu would not have gone to Imperial Sky Entertainnt City without a good reason, and she had heard from the other managers that there was an odd custor who frequently visited and needed to be taken note. That odd custor was most probably Gu Qiwu.
“I hope I never have to see him again. I don’t want our grandparents to find out, or else, they’ll be really sad about it. I know Grandmother has always thought of Mother as a great daughter. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have burdened herself by taking Lingtian and in.”
Mu Lingshi took a deep breath as she went on, “I’ve always wanted to know the truth. Who knew that it would now beco a ticking ti bomb that might explode at any ti, causing anxiety to us? We brought the problem to the Mu family. We took away the love that was supposed to be Brother’s, and we made him take on the burden that he didn’t need to. It’s all that man’s fault!
“If he hadn’t gotten together with my mother, there wouldn’t have been or Lingtian, and none of this would’ve happened today! I’ve never seen such selfish parents before! Sotis, I really hate the fact that I have such a cold father and an irresponsible mother! Don’t you think she was a fool? She was so foolish that she gave birth to two children for a man that could never have married her. She knew that that man had a family! Why do I have a mother like this?”
Mu Lingshi was on the brink of giving up herself, Ah Mo could not bear to listen any further, he yelled at her to make her stop, “Ah Shi, that’s enough!”
“Please don’t say that. Grandfather and Grandmother won’t be able to take it if they heard that.” Ah Mo quickly softened his tone when he realized that he raised his voice. “You have our baby right now, so you shouldn’t be too emotionally affected. Let’s just proceed with caution. Brother said he’ll find a chance to tell them. I just hope they won’t be too affected. Only they still don’t know about it by now, but they’ll find out about it sooner or later.
“It’s great that Gu Qiwu didn’t an to hurt you, but we still have to be cautious about any potential harm. Keep Ah Quan close to you at all tis. I’ll discuss with Brother tomorrow and see if we can co up with any other alternatives and minimize the damage. Mother passed away many years ago. We can’t possibly let her bear the guilt after her death. Brother has been troubled by this as well,” Ah Mo told Mu Lingshi honestly.
“That’s how it is. I don’t really care about it anymore. I’ve been experiencing the pain all along these years anyway, so I don’t mind it at all.” Mu Lingshi’s expression darkened as she continued to drink the soup, but she stopped monts later.
“Ah Mo, if your parents were still alive, and they ca to tell you that they had their reasons for abandoning you 30 years ago, what would you do?” she asked as she stared at him intently. “We’re both the sa. That’s why we know how each other feel.”
Ah Mo understood that they had been seeking solace from each other.
“My parents are Mu Tangchuan and Zhuang Shurong. There’s nobody else,” he replied quietly as he gently grabbed Mu Lingshi’s hand. “Don’t worry. You still have and everyone else.”
