Up to You - C202

I wore the clothes that Lin Shupei had prepared for me, covering myself from head to toe like her. Not even an inch of skin could be seen.

Just like this, Lin Shupei still felt that it was not enough, she called me over and placed a small earphone in my palm.

Lin Shupei shook her head.

Puzzled, I did so.

“What is it…”

Just as I opened my mouth to say a few words, I suddenly reacted.

Only then did Lin Shupei explain, “That old fox is so smart, even if you didn’t say anything, he would still have a way to make you speak.

My voice had changed to a hoarse, neutral voice, thick and low, so different from the one I’d had before.

“You can go to An Fang right now and bump into him.”

I nodded.

“I’m leaving.”

The car was parked in front of the Jing’an Garden. I opened the door and entered, then headed in the direction of He An.

I kept thinking about what had happened.

The reason why I was so vigilant and careful was because I was afraid that Lin Shupei would control me. But the matter that happened up till now, I had unknowingly went against the thing that I was initially confident in.

People say that hearing is useless, but seeing is believing. I have been together with Mu Huainan for so many years, yet a few words have caused me to be unable to differentiate between the real and the real.

I felt a little guilty, but then I thought about it. I just wanted to know the truth.

However…

Just to know him better.

I had no intention of betraying him.

As usual, it was a quiet street. He An Fang had existed in the Mu City for so many years, yet he had always been a grey area that everyone in the Mu City knew but never mentioned. The business here had spurred the development of the Mu City for the past few years, but the way things were done, they could not be put on display.

He was like a scar on the face of the Mu City.

I parked in front of the door and went in, walking with my sunglasses on, looking at everything black and dark. He Fang looked even more ashen and gray, with a hint of coldness in his expression.

That’s why most people don’t dare to come here.

Mu Huainan sat in the main hall. The door was not closed, so you could see him drinking tea from inside the courtyard. Usually, and the Anfang guards wouldn’t let strangers into the courtyard, but no one stopped me for an exception today. I knew in my heart that it must have been Mu Huai’s intention, as he had already predicted that Lin Shupei would send someone to look for him.

Mu Huainan, Lin Shupei, compared to him, they were on the same level.

I stood in the yard looking at him and called to him in a hoarse voice.

“Mr. Mou.”

He raised his eyes slowly, put down his teacup, and walked over to me.

I was holding a crutch in one hand. I was a lot shorter than him, and now that I had a limp, I had to look up to see his expression.

It was still faint, but it had a suffocating aura to it.

This is the first time I’ve been so close to him as a stranger.

I jumped out of my former identity with him and looked at him with a kind of fear that I didn’t dare to continue.

He was like an abyss. You were very curious about the abyss and wanted to know what was there, but you didn’t dare to jump.

He looked at my leg and then walked around me.

I limped in his direction to the door, where he was already sitting in the car.

He didn’t say a word along the way. He was wearing a black trench coat, and his face looked a little bad. When he got in the car, he leaned his head against the back of the chair, his body blending in with the shadows, making it hard to see his mood.

Lin Shupei gave me the address on my phone. I entered my destination into the navigation system and followed her instructions.

He seemed to be a bit impatient from sitting down. His eyes had a distinct sense of oppression. He glanced at me unhurriedly and said in a light tone, “Why aren’t you here yet?”

The moment I wanted to speak, I couldn’t help but be nervous. My hand that was holding the steering wheel unconsciously tensed up as I carefully replied, “We’re almost there, Mr. Mou.”

I looked at him in the rearview mirror. It was late afternoon, and the dim light occasionally shone into the car.

I have a lot of questions I want to ask, such as why did he leave alone when he went to see his enemy. Mr. Mou, who are usually such great figures, are acting alone now, wouldn’t they feel danger?

He also wanted to ask how Lin Shupei would treat her after she met her.

But in my heart, I knew how wrong it was, so I held my tongue and drove to my destination.

At the Lu residence.

My old home.

The place had been locked up by the police for a long time, and the case of a torch had become an unsolved case. Eventually, the authorities came down and declared the fire to be an accident.

Dad sold this land before I came back to pay off his debt, and I always thought it was easy for me to think of sad nights when I was revisiting the place, so I hardly ever came back here when I was an adult.

I thought it would at least be converted or sold to someone else.

What I never expected to see here was the same house, the same yard, even the same lock on the front door.

It was like a dream.

The door was opened, and Mu Huainan walked straight in. I followed behind him, and unknowingly became his follower.

Lin Shupei sat on the rattan chair in the courtyard and leisurely drank a cup of coffee.

Mu Huainan walked over, looking down from above, the cold aura around him caused everyone to tremble, his tone of voice finally had some changes.

They were clearly worried and anxious.

“Where is Anthea?”

Lin Shupei did not answer him, but pushed the other cup in front of Mu Huainan, answering the question: “I heard that you can’t drink coffee because of your illness, so I brewed your most beloved tea for you.”

The cup was still steaming hot, with steam rising from it. Mu Huainan held it up and poured it down Lin Shupei’s face without hesitation.

If it wasn’t for the fact that her skin had long since died from the scalding water, she would have long been disfigured if it hadn’t been for the fact that she had fallen on an ordinary person’s face.

He looked down at him condescendingly, and his tone hardened a little. “I don’t want to ask it a second time.”

Lin Shupei’s head was still steaming wet. Her skin was red, but her lips were pale white. She fiercely raised her head and glared at him, her voice hoarse.

“What if I don’t answer?”

Mu Huainan placed the cup back on the table and sighed: “I have a way to make you speak.”

“Mu Huainan!” Lin Shupei seemed to have thought of something, as she suddenly stiffened and panicked, “You better not force me! If you force me, I’ll go and die, and if I die, you’ll never have the chance to see your safety again!”

Mu Huainan used more and more strength to hold the teacup, his knuckles tensed up and his face ugly.

Lin Shupei looked at it and laughed without restraining her laughter, with an uncontrollable excitement.

“Mu Huainan! You have this day too! Hahahahahaha! The Mr. Mou that everyone was in awe of, had lost his way and became angry! “Hahahahahaha!”

Lin Shupei laughed sinisterly, like a broken skeleton. As she laughed, people unconsciously thought that there were only two results.

One had a jaw drop. One of them laughed to death.

She was too radical to laugh.

Mu Huainan extended her hand out and grabbed Lin Shupei’s cheek. Her mouth was opened, yet she just stood there stiffly.

“Lin Shupei, don’t force me.”

She couldn’t speak a complete sentence. She could only stare at him with a pair of venomous eyes. She was still smiling, but her face was stiff.

In the end, Mu Huainan still released her. He picked up a tissue on the table to gently wipe his fingers, and indifferently said: “You’re really a madman.”

“What, it’s the first time you know I’m crazy?”

With red and swollen eyes, she got up, walked around Mu Huainan, and placed her hand that was full of wrinkles on Mu Huainan’s shoulder, and said gently: “I see your son.

Hearing her mention ninety-nine percent, my heart couldn’t help but tighten. Mu Huainan did the same, her calm eyes suddenly became cold, scraping against her bones and warning her, “You better stay away from ninety-nine.”

“Don’t worry.” She slowly loosened her grip and sat down around the round table beside him. “I’m not like you. I’m so cruel that even children would not be spared.”

The three of us present all knew how cruel Mu Huainan’s refusal to have children was.

Lin Shupei continued, “I just don’t believe that the mighty Mr. Mou would actually have a child.”

“I always thought you didn’t have a heart. You only loved yourself, and in order to live, even if you ate human flesh and blood, you could still do it. A freak like you actually has a family one day! Having children! “Heh.” Lin Shupei became more and more agitated as she spoke, “Hehe, the heavens are truly not fair, why is it that after you did all those things, not only did you not receive retribution, you even had the chance to put aside your past and live a good life?! Mu Huainan, you are not worthy of everything you have now! ”

Facing Lin Shupei’s heart wrenching pain, Mu Huainan was instead even more indifferent. He walked to the other side of the vine chair and sat down, gently rubbing the center of his brows.

“Why!? Why do I have to live a peaceful and comfortable life, yet live it in such a manner that is neither human nor ghost! ” She charged towards Mu Huainan again, her eyes bloodshot: “This was all caused by you, Mu Huainan!”

Mu Huainan finally opened his mouth, but was too lazy to look straight at her.

“It’s your choice.”

“You’re lying!” Lin Shupei stood and pointed at him with his finger: “It’s obviously you! It was you who killed my child so cruelly. It was you who ordered Old Owner to kick He An and let me suffer from three blades and six holes. You made me never have the chance to fight for Owner’s position again! ”

Mu Huainan was a little tired, he could tell that he did not have the patience to talk about these things, but Lin Shupei was extremely excited at the moment, so he forced himself to say more.

“The reason why I gave you the Fetal Medicine was to protect your life, so that you wouldn’t be discovered as a woman by the Old Owner just because you are pregnant. It was you who found out that your child was gone. You came to Anfang like a madman to settle scores with me. You cursed in the yard and almost made everyone who was with Anfang know that you had ruined my child. ”

Lin Shupei had tears flowing down her face a long time ago, she didn’t look so cold-blooded and perverted like she used to be.

Mu Huainan had been calm to the end.

“Like I said, it’s your choice.”

“NO!” No, you! This is all your fault! My face, you burned my face with fire, and you set fire to me! Mu Huainan! Do you think that all of this can be passed so easily?! ”

Mu Huainan sighed, he had been too lazy to explain everything he did for so many years, and now that he had met them, he had to explain it all at once.

“I destroyed your face because the Old Owner knew that you had escaped from the Jing’an Garden and gave me the order to kill you. I destroyed your face because I didn’t want the people chasing you to recognize your appearance, but who knew that you would never change your stubborn personality. I didn’t set the fire, it was Old Owner’s order. ”

“Old Owner has always been one to keep his word. No one can avoid the people he orders to kill.”

“Liar! You liar! ” Lin Shupei shook her head and shouted crazily, “I don’t believe you! “I don’t believe it!”

“I’ll say it again, these are your choices.”

Lin Shupei finally collapsed and fell to the ground. Her hair was scarce in the first place, but now that it was completely drenched, her white scalp showed itself and became even more sinister.

She had never thought that the things that she had spent all her energy on, the things that she had never forgotten, were all things that she had tied herself up in.
