Chapter 924. To Know (4)
Mu Lingshi’s hoarse voice that choked on her emotions was filled with bitterness that Xi Xiaye could empathize with.
“Maybe they had their reasons too. Ah Shi, no matter what happens, even if you know all this now, everything from the past can’t be changed,” Xi Xiaye spoke softly, her twinkling eyes filled with faint sadness, “I now suddenly agree with Sis Lan. Some things are better left not known or dug up.”
“But is it so hard for them to acknowledge me? If she could give birth to me, how could they not perform even their basic duties as parents? Everytime I was sick, where were they? When Lingtian died, where were they? My mother, my own mother, had actually fallen ill and committed suicide over a man like him. She never even thought about Lingtian and me! They are the worst parents on Earth! Yet, they had me. Tell me, if you were me, would you be able to accept this? Could you?”
Mu Lingshi got up with bloodshot eyes. It was painful for them to watch her on the verge of a breakdown.
Mu Yuchen was speechless too. He knew very well that if it were him, he would definitely be as miserable as Mu Lingshi.
“They’ve never been parents for even a day. I’ll never forgive them until the day I die! Never!” Mu Lingshi’s voice was raspy as she shouted, then she covered her face and ran out.
“Lingshi!” Ah Mo quickly got up and looked apologetically at Mu Yuchen whose expression was silent as he nodded, indicating for him to go after her. Then, Ah Mo rushed out swiftly.
“Hold on. Bring an umbrella. It’s raining heavily outside. Bring a coat too. It’s chilly out there!” Xi Xiaye called out as she rushed out as well. She took off her coat, then followed them downstairs and took the big black umbrella from the rack by the door to give Ah Mo. Unable to say much, he quickly ran out after her.
Xi Xiaye stood at the door and watched as Ah Mo rushed into the rain. She shouted after him a little worriedly, “Be careful. Bring her home right away!”
