Shang Xia And Zuo Yu - Chapter 55
Mu Zhiyang frowned and felt some pain in his head.
“Yang Yang, Yang Yang Yang, you’re awake?” Dad’s surprised voice rang in his ears.
Mu Zhiyang slowly struggled to open her eyes and saw the smile on her dad’s face and the clear exhaustion under her eyes. She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn’t speak, her throat hurt like hell.
“Ah, you’re good, don’t talk yet, drink the water.” Mu Feng had a distressed look on his face.
Mu Zhiyang took it, drank the warm water and felt a little better.
“Dad, what’s wrong with me?” Mu Zhiyang spoke in a small voice.
“You got wet last night, it was Xiaotao who brought you back, you had a fever in the second half of the night, and you slept all day.”
Mu Zhiyang nodded, recalling the events of last night.
“Yang Yang ah, you are surprisingly a classmate with Xiaotao ah, why didn’t you tell dad earlier.” Mu Feng smiled and looked at Mu Zhiyang, only to find that she was dazed and not listening to him.
“Yangyang, Yangyang?”
“Ah, dad what did you say?” Mu Zhiyang looked back at Mu Feng blankly.
“I said, why didn’t you say earlier that you knew Xiaotao.”
Mu Zhiyang was a bit puzzled, “You know him?”
“I don’t know him, but I know him, I know his mom and dad.” Mu Feng spoke to himself and found that Mu Zhiyang was lost in thought again.
“Yang Yang, what are you thinking about?”
“Dad, my mom really loves me, right?” Suddenly, Mu Zhiyang asked seriously.
Mu Feng looked at Mu Zhiyang with expectation, nervousness, and a hint of struggle in his eyes, and Mu Feng, who usually speaks casually, could not open his mouth this time.
Looking at Mu Feng’s appearance, Mu Zhiyang’s heart dull pain, “Daddy, you’ve been lying to me, right, mommy doesn’t care about me and doesn’t love me, right?”
Looking at his baby daughter who was instantly in tears, Mu Feng frowned and looked at her with heartache. He felt that the little girl who believed whatever he said when she was little seemed to have grown up and made him unable to lie anymore.
“Mom also destroyed someone else’s family, didn’t she?”
Mu Feng was stunned, “Who did you hear that from?”
“It seems to be true, when I was small, I lived with my grandparents, mom never went to see me, you said every time she was busy and came when she was free, and she never bought me anything, the gifts were bought twice by you, right? Grandparents are gone, you picked me up when I came home, mom was gone, you said mom died in an accident, but she missed me and loved me so much that she was still worried about me when she was dying, in fact, all these are lies, she is still alive too right?”
Mu Zhiyang looked vacantly at the bed sheet, her eyes were lax, and her voice was getting hoarse, these words seemed to be spoken to her father, but even more so to herself.
She was expecting her mother who loved her very, very much, but never cared about her, she still often thought of her, every birthday and Mother’s Day she would hug her picture and cry all night, even her favorite flower was carnation, huh, how ridiculous.
Her appearance scared Mu Feng, “Daughter, you think too much, you’re not well yet, sleep a little more, okay?”
“Dad, tell me what happened back then.”
“It’s all in the past, don’t listen to other people’s nonsense, and you shouldn’t be inquiring, you have dad, dad loves you, in the future, dad will treat you a little more and take more time to spend with you, okay?” Mu Feng didn’t know about her and Xuyao, and only thought she heard something that her mother didn’t love her as much as he told her she did.
She had a good impression of the mother she was expecting, and even though she didn’t think her mother loved her very much, her impression wouldn’t be lost, and he didn’t want her to know those dirty things about her mother.
“Dad, do you know a man named Xu Pingsheng?” Mu Zhiyang’s tone was soft and almost imperceptible, but Mu Feng was very close to her and was directly stunned at the words.
“Yang Yang, what do you know?” Mu Feng’s expression tightened, and on closer inspection there was a slight panic.
“Please, tell me.” Mu Zhiyang looked at him with a pleading gaze, she didn’t know anything, she only knew what Xuyao’s father’s name was, and this was something she knew by chance from Shang Xia.
Mu Feng still didn’t want to tell her, “You should rest first, I’ll go and make some porridge for you.” Mu Feng got up and prepared to go out.
“Dad!!!” Mu Zhiyang shouted, “Am I your own child or not?”
Her mother didn’t like her so much, so was she her own child or not. The more Mu Zhiyang thought about it, the more scared she became.
Mu Feng felt funny at what she said, “I would be so nice to you if you weren’t my own?”
The first thing you need to do is to ask your mother what you want to know and tell you, so you don’t have to say stupid things like not being my own.
“If mom didn’t like me, why did she give birth to me? Someone said she destroyed other people’s families, is that true?”
Mu Feng sighed, told her to wait and went out, and came back again with an extra photo in his hand.
Mu Zhiyang saw that the worn out photo showed three people, her father, her mother, and a man, and it was easy to see that the familiar face was Xuyao’s father.
Mu Feng was silent for a while, as if he was remembering those long ago, after all, it’s been more than thirty years.
The first time, he spoke, “back in the day, I and Xuping Sheng is a good friend, in a high school, our class transferred to a southern girl, used to seeing our northern girls, occasionally see the southern gentle little girl can not help but look twice, I remember that your mother is still a very kind, gentle, talk will not be loud people. We were afraid to speak loudly to her for fear of scaring her.”
“Later I found out that I seemed to like her, I didn’t dare to tell her, so I told Xuping Sheng, he said he would help me chase her, I was a shy person at the time, and I knew even less about such things than he did, so I trusted him completely.”
“He has been looking for opportunities to talk to her, ask her to play, the three of us together, at that time silly I always thought he was helping me, he was very talkative, very good at making girls happy, gradually, the three of us became very good friends, almost everything together, we also went to college together, but then the two of them more and more intimate, I felt bad, once took advantage of the absence of Xuping Sheng I once took the courage to explain my feelings to her when Xuping Sheng was not there.”
“She rejected me and said she was already with Xuping Sheng, I was shocked, I felt that they betrayed me, very sad, and then Xuping Sheng looked for me to drink, apologize to me, what can I say, I do not want to see them flirting every day, not with them, that time our junior year, that year, I was busy looking for work, and they do not have much contact. ”
“However, the night of the graduation party, I saw her, still can not help but sad, drank a lot of wine, we all stayed in the hotel, did not expect, your mother also drunk, into the wrong my room, on that occasion, there you, woke up in the morning, she cried like crazy, Xuping Sheng left in a fit of anger.”
“Later I heard that Xuping Sheng got married, and we had you again, I married your mother, at first I was still very happy, after all, I like her, but as a result, she actually wanted to deliberately abort you during her pregnancy, I found out to stop it, I realized how reluctant she was to marry me, gave birth to you, she did not want to look at it, she hated me I understand, but I do not understand why she Even her own children do not want, at that time, she quarreled with me every day, I was still busy with business, had to put you in your grandmother’s house. ”
“Suddenly one time, I arrived home late from a business trip, but found a man’s voice in the bedroom at home, I rushed in to see Xuping Sheng and the two of them together, she confessed to me that they have been secretly in contact for a long time, let me make them whole, I just do not want them together, I do not agree to divorce, but she said that she was already pregnant with his child, asked me if I was willing to raise someone else’s child, I I was angry, wanted to beat her but could not get down, and Xuping Sheng fought, and finally, I felt tired, did not want to face them, and signed. ”
“Later I heard that she went home with Xu Pingsheng again and made a big fuss, injured his son, made his wife suffer from depression, almost succeeded in suicide, you can imagine, they are used in what an irritating way.”
“There has been no contact since then, I don’t know if they are dead or alive.”
Mu Feng finished and fell silent.
Mu Zhiyang had cried until she couldn’t help herself, she didn’t expect her mother to be such a person, she finally knew why Xuyao hated her so much, he was so young, was hurt physically & psychologically, and had to stay with his mother who got sick, if it was her, she would hate this woman’s child too.
“I just didn’t want to upset you, that’s why I didn’t want to tell you.”
“I’m fine, dad, can you leave me alone for a while.” Mu Zhiyang laid down and covered her head with the blanket.
Mu Feng sighed and got up to go out.
When he closed the door, Mu Zhiyang couldn’t help but cry, she loved Xuyao so much, what should she do.
After a long time, Mu Zhiyang took out her cell phone and started calling Xuyao, he didn’t answer, she kept calling, she wanted to tell him that she knew the truth, but she was different from her mother, her mother also didn’t like her, could she, could she be forgiven.
It was already dark, and Mu Feng said to go out and buy her some medicine and some more vegetables, ready to appease and calm her.
She called Xuyao couldn’t get through, her inner thoughts were to tell him, frantic to see him, all to tell him that it wasn’t what he thought.
She ran out, she didn’t know where his house was yet, and ran to the little bridge they had walked together, where he had still fought for her, he should remember.
I really know the truth, it’s not what you think, can you come out and meet me, I’ll talk to you clearly OK, I’m waiting for you here at the arch new bridge, you don’t come, I’m not leaving.
Xuyao looked at her text messages at home and ignored her.
When he was eating dinner, his mother gave him a dish, “What’s wrong, you look distracted.”
“Nothing.” Xuyao lowered his eyelids.
After an hour, Xuyao stood in front of the window, looking out at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier, his hands clenched tighter and tighter, of course he knew how stubborn Mu Zhiyang was, saying she would wait, but she was that woman’s daughter, destined to be opposite him, he couldn’t be with her, and he hated it when he thought of the pain his mother had endured.
Lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, finally, he called her.
Mu Zhiyang sat next to the bridge, hugging herself tightly. She didn’t answer a single phone call from her dad, thinking that in case Xuyao couldn’t come for something, he might call her.
As it turned out, it really came. She excitedly stood up at once and wiped the rain from her face.
“Hey, Xuyao, you’re finally willing to pay attention to me. I’m telling you, I already know…” Without waiting for her to say anything, Xuyao interrupted her.
“Mu Zhiyang, I told you, we have broken up, we no longer have any relationship, and I will not see you, now when I see you I will think of your disgusting mother, so I never want to see you again in my life, the farther you get the better.”
The cold tone of voice from the ears to carry out Mu Zhiyang whole body, she trembled some can not hold the phone.
“You, in the end, have you ever seriously liked me?”
“Heh, just for fun, why so serious, do not say what I gave you a promise, that kind of coaxing girls words only you take seriously.”
“I’m done with you, it’s raining so hard, you’re still willing to get wet, just get wet, if something happens it has nothing to do with me.”
Mu Zhiyang listened to the beeping sound coming from the phone, it was him hanging up when he finished.
How can he be like this, do not want to see me, let me roll as far away as possible, or play with me, do not like me at all, get wet and afraid to rely on him.
“Hahahaha, hahahaha …. “Mu Zhiyang laughed, laughed and cried, the rain washed away the tears, tears then fell.
Look, six years of time, you all like what a person, yes, before can not see you, and then how to see, but it is just playing, on you will take it seriously, silly like a surprise, longing for your future.

Mu Feng returned home, did not find Mu Zhiyang, called her and did not answer, anxious to die, just to go out to find, saw the door open, Mu Zhiyang lost soul walked in, soaking wet, pale face looking at Mu Feng.
“Dad, take me out of here.”
After saying that, he fainted.
“yang yang!!!” Mu Feng hugged her and felt her body was cold, but her forehead was hot.
Hurry up and take her to the hospital.
