" Chu Hanyi... sob sob..." Mu Ning hugged Chu Hanyi and burst into tears. It was as if she wanted to cry out all her fear and grievances.
" I'm sorry…I'm late…Be good…Don't cry…" Chu Hanyi gently hugged Mu Ning and comforted her while stroking her hair.
" Take me away from here..." Mu Ning grabbed Chu Hanyi's arm tightly, afraid that she was hallucinating. She was afraid that he would disappear in the next second, leaving her alone.
"Alright." Chu Hanyi felt her body trembling in his arms and his heart ached.
Chu Hanyi took off his coat and put it on Mu Ning. He turned around and squatted down, waving at Mu Ning who was behind him. "I'll carry you."
Mu Ning looked at Chu Hanyi's back with tears in her eyes. His shoulders were broad and strong, and his figure was firm and straight. It gave her a sense of security, as if she did not have to be afraid of anything as long as he was by her side.
Chu Hanyi's arms were wrapped around his neck, and her soft body was pressed against his back. Mu Ning felt the heat coming from Chu Hanyi's body, and she had an illusion for a moment.
If only she could always be surrounded by this warmth!
"Hold on tight!" Chu Hanyi turned his head slightly and said to Mu Ning. Then, he slowly stood up.
Chu Hanyi carried Mu Ning on his back as they walked slowly. The warm yellow street lights made their backs stretch out for a long time…
After walking for a while, Chu Han Yi suddenly felt his shoulder wet. He quickly called out,""Mu Ning?"
" Chu Hanyi... I'm not pitiful..." Mu Ning's voice was full of tears.
"What's wrong?" Chu Hanyi frowned, worried.
" I just want to live a quiet life, but I can't even do something as simple as that…" Mu Ning sounded a little angry and raised her voice.
Chu Hanyi remained silent and did not answer Mu Ning. Mu Ning did not need to be comforted at this moment, but to be listened to.
"You know what? I'm an illegitimate daughter! "Everyone called me a bastard, hehe…" Mu Ning seemed to be lost in her memories, and her eyes were misty.
Chu Hanyi frowned unhappily. He didn't like her talking about him like that. "Don't say that. It's not your fault.”
"I don't mind any of these. So what if she's an illegitimate daughter? "I have the best mother in the world, so I've always thought that I'm the happiest child in the world…" Mu Ning continued as if she did not hear him.
"Mom and I rely on each other. Although life is very hard, I feel very happy.”Mu Ning's big black eyes were filled with sorrow.
"I didn't have any friends when I was young. Because I was a bastard, a child that no one wanted, they looked down on me and often bullied me. Every time I went back, I cried…"
"Every time this happens, my mother will hug me gently and say to me gently, Ningning, be good. Don't cry. They won't play with you. Mommy will play with you, okay? "Then, my mother would take me to the park to play on the swings, hide and seek, and play games with me…" Mu Ning's voice was a little choked up as tears rolled down her cheeks.
" Mu Ning..." Chu Hanyi called her softly. He could feel her sadness and her inferiority. Being an illegitimate daughter was not something she could choose. Even if she looked so strong on the outside, her heart was so fragile that it would break at the slightest touch.
"Mommy is always so gentle, but it's precisely because of this that those hateful people all bully her, just like how those children bullied me. They call her a slut and a mistress behind her back. " You always cry alone in the dead of the night. Then, you wake me up with a smile the next day with red and swollen eyes…" Mu Ning sobbed as tears rolled down her face.
"My mother has never blamed anyone. My mother's friends were indignant about this, but my mother only sighed faintly and said that all of this was her fate. She only wanted to live quietly with me and watch me grow up and get married…but why is God so unfair? When I was in the seventh year of middle school, my mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Fortunately, it was only in the middle stage at that time. The doctor said that as long as she actively received treatment, there was still a high chance of recovery. " However, the huge medical expenses are astronomical for my mother and me. We don't have that much money…" Mu Ning sobbed softly. The sad memories of her mother's gentle smile, the housework, and the games played in front of her eyes were like a projector.
Chu Hanyi's heart seemed to be tightly clenched as he listened to Mu Ning's memories. She was still so young, yet she had to endure so many changes. At her age, most children were still pampered by their parents!
How strong and courageous must she be to face this injustice? Chu Hanyi's heart ached for Mu Ning's determination. After all, she was still a child at that time...
"Mom refused to be hospitalized. She said that I still have to study. If she was hospitalized, she wouldn't be able to go to work anymore. I hate myself so much. I can't do anything. I can't share her burden. I still need her to take care of me. How I wish that the one who's sick isn't her, but me.”
"I'm very sad. I feel that my existence is simply a burden. If it wasn't for my mother's refusal to have an abortion and her insistence on giving birth to me, my grandfather wouldn't have severed his father-daughter relationship with my mother in a fit of anger and become homeless. If it weren't for me, with my mother's qualifications, she could have found another man to marry. However, she refused without hesitation because she was afraid that after marriage, I would grow up in an environment where I would be bullied, ostracized, and despised. It's all my fault! If it weren't for me, Mom wouldn't have suffered so much. She wouldn't have been looked down upon and bullied. It's all my fault!”Mu Ning's tone was filled with guilt towards her mother and hatred towards herself.
She clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white and her body trembling.
Chu Hanyi suddenly stopped and was silent for a few seconds. Then, he spoke with a gentle tone that he had never heard before,""I don't allow you to say that about yourself. I believe that your mother is the same. Everyone's life was meaningful and valuable. No one would be a burden to anyone. Don't take all the blame on yourself. That would be very tiring.”
"Is that so? But why didn't I feel anything? What is the meaning and value of my life?”Mu Ning sneered as if she was mocking herself. Her eyes were blurred, and her cheeks were unnaturally red.
"Silly girl, because your mother loves you too much, she can't bear to abort you. She'd rather cut ties with her parents and put herself in a difficult situation. I believe that your mother has never regretted giving birth to you. On the contrary, she must be very glad that she gave birth to you.”Chu Hanyi's voice was low and gentle, filled with endless tenderness and pity.
" Impossible…How could it be…A child like me…shouldn't be born into this world…Mom…must think so too…" Mu Ning refused to believe it, thinking that Chu Hanyi was just comforting her.
"No, she won't. Your arrival is your mother's greatest fortune. Because of you, her life has become rich and colorful, happy and fulfilling. It's also because of you that your mother was able to endure such a long and difficult time. You're the one who supports her faith and is her life! If your mother heard you talking about her and yourself like that, how sad would she be?”Chu Hanyi coaxed her like a child, his voice as warm as the sun.
" No…I'm a scourge. If it weren't for me, my mother wouldn't have died…I killed my mother…" Mu Ning mumbled in panic as if she was having a nightmare.
"Mu Ning? What's wrong with you? Why do you say that?" Chu Hanyi noticed something strange and asked.
" I killed Mom. If I didn't leave with Dad, Mom wouldn't have died…She wouldn't have died…" Mu Ning mumbled to herself repeatedly, her face flushed red.
Chu Hanyi stopped and gently put Mu Ning on the ground. He then turned around to support her. "Mu Ning, what's wrong?" she asked anxiously.”
Mu Ning felt as if her entire body had gone limp. She did not even have the strength to stand up. However, the pain in her heart was exceptionally clear, as if it was being torn apart by something. " Mom…I'm not leaving you…Mom…I'm the one who caused your death…And him…He has to take responsibility for your death…And them…"
"Mu Ning, wake up. I'm Chu Hanyi.”She reached out to touch Mu Ning's cheek. It was so hot that it was scalding. Mu Ning was running a high fever again! Chu Hanyi was shocked and quickly wrapped the coat around Mu Ning.
" Mom…I'll avenge you…I'll get back what they owe you…I'll get it back…" Mu Ning stammered. The fever had caused her to lose consciousness.
Chu Hanyi started to regret not driving over. He carried Mu Ning and walked to the roadside to stop a taxi. "Go to the Chu Group Hospital-no, go to Jingyuan Villa!”
Unconsciously, he hugged her tightly and took out his phone to make a call.
"Hello, Uncle Jing, ask Dr. Wu to wait at home immediately. I'll go back immediately!”
"Yes."
Just as Chu Han got on the car, a tall and thin middle-aged man walked out from a hidden corner. The moonlight reflected from his thin glasses was a bit dazzling and cold.
He turned around and returned to the villa.
General Manager An walked to Song Yuxi's study room and knocked on the door gently.
"Come in." Song Yuxi's voice rang in the room.
"Young Master, not long after Young Lady Shen went out, she met a person. He seemed to have come to look for her, but now they have already left.”General Manager An briefly told Song Yuxi about the stalking incident.
