Chapter 10: Betrayed (II)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Ling feared that Mu Zening had not witnessed the incident, so she tugged at Mu Yun, who was next to her. “Sister! Quickly tell uncle that it was Mu Zi who hurt me!”
Mu Yun was disgusted when Mu Ling tugged at her with sticky hands, and she became furious!
She was mad that Mu Ling was clumsy and useless, and was also annoyed that Mu Zi actually had the guts to fight back!
She shouted in Mu Zi’s face, “Are you crazy?! Look at what you did!”
Mu Zi looked at them with indifference. She was calm, as though she was cold-blooded. “She wanted to pull my hair so I dodged. Who knew that she was going to fall?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?!”
Mu Yun was enraged because Mu Zi had lied! Did Mu Zi really think that she was blind?!
Qiao Jingjia retrieved a tissue paper from her bag to help press the corner of Mu Ling’s mouth, then said anxiously, “Stop arguing. Let’s go to the hospital first, Little Ling is bleeding a lot! You didn’t hurt your tooth, did you?”
Mu Ling immediately turned pale.
It was a small matter if she hurt her lips, but if it was her tooth, did it mean that she would lose a front tooth?!
She was only seventeen years old. Surely she was not going to have a false tooth, like an old lady?!
Mu Ling hated Mu Zi so much that her eyes almost shot flames when she glared at her!
On the other hand, Mu Zening’s head ached due to the mess. He neither liked Mu Yun nor Mu Ling, who were arrogant, nor was he fond of the unapproachable Mu Zi.
His wife’s funeral had just ended, yet they were making such a big fuss at home. They were too immature!
“I’ll drive you to the hospital,” Mu Zening said fretfully.
“You can’t drive because you drank. Take a rest at home, I’ll ask Little Zhang to send us there,” said Qiao Jingjia.
She spoke very smoothly.
Mu Zi clenched her fists as she made a note to herself, ‘Qiao Jingjia’s very familiar with the Mu family, and she’s aware of the driver’s name.’
“Ask Little Zhang to drive, I’ll go with you.” Mu Zening had a splitting headache. He had to at least care about his injured niece since his big brother was not around.
With that, they left the house one after another, and Mu Ling wept while she pressed her lips.
For some reason, Mu Zening decided to glance back.
In the distance, he saw Mu Zi still standing in the same spot. She was expressionless, neither sad nor happy, but she was giving off an aura of cold hatred.
Mu Zening was stunned.
‘… Was that an illusion? Why did I feel like she was looking at me?’
While he was briefly distracted, Mu Zi left as if what happened was none of her business.
Although Mu Ling often bullied Mu Zi, they were still family, hence Mu Zening thought that Mu Zi was being too indifferent.
‘An adopted child’s upbringing can’t be that good anyway,’ Mu Zening said to himself.
…
Mu Zi returned to the small bungalow behind the garden and acted as though nothing had happened.
She met Bai Wei, who had returned to look for her, halfway.
Bai Wei looked at the direction behind her daughter and asked, “Did something happen in front? I thought I heard Mu Ling cry?”
Mu Zi had already calmed down by then, so she answered casually, “Oh, she fell, so she’s going to the hospital now.”
Bai Wei believed her, and she babbled on their way back to the bungalow, “At least she didn’t give you a hard time. The Mu family sisters are too arrogant and hot-tempered. What do you think about moving out? Don’t worry, I’ve been saving up…”
‘Move out?’
‘How can that be? There’s no place more suitable than this for me to uncover the truth,’ Mu Zi thought.
Besides, she really wanted to take a good look at the real face of her husband, who was passionately devoted to her…
Mu Zi shook her head. “Let’s just stay here, it’s pretty good.”
Bai Wei sighed when she heard her. It was not like she wanted to move anyway.
—Every flower and tree here stored her precious memories. If they did move out, she did not know how much she would miss this place…
