Up to You - C203

Lin Shupei sat on the ground for a long time, crying until she couldn’t even move her face anymore. Finally, Mu Huainan was willing to take a look at her.

“When you were locked in your room and got set on fire, how do you think you managed to escape?” He said, “Who do you think left you that hole behind the mural?”

After a while. He glared at her.

“Mu Huainan, do you really want to know?” She rolled over, half kneeling at Mu Huainan’s feet, raising her head: “Kiss me, and I’ll tell you.”

I stood aside, stunned at her request.

Mu Huainan released her chin in disgust and cursed under her breath, “Crazy bitch.”

Lin Shupei started to laugh again. She was still as excited as before.

“Mu Huainan, if I were to tell you that your current Little An An An is currently in danger and look forward to seeing you save her, would you be willing to ask me if I could change your answer?”

Mu Huainan’s body trembled. He suddenly stood up, unable to calm down.

“Mu Huainan, so there is actually something in this world that makes you so nervous!”

I was right here, and did not encounter any danger. I was not afraid that Mu Huainan would really kiss his, it was just that I did not want to see the dignified Owner of An Fang to be ordered around by a crazy woman.

I just started to move, when Lin Shupei saw it from the corner of her eyes. In just an instant, she suddenly changed the topic and asked Mu Huainan.

“Do you know why I invited you here today?”

This Lin Shupei, has eaten me to death, she knows that I have endured for so long just to hear this secret, she is now deliberately reminding me, if I were to come out now, all of my previous work would have been for naught.

I couldn’t help but clench my fists in anger.

I had taken half a step, and now I had to step back and stand and do my duty as a small follower.

“Mu Huainan, I did not expect you to buy this place.” Mu Huainan, I did not expect you to buy this place.

Lin Shupei said, but there was more to her words.

“What, your Mr. Mou also knows how to feel guilty and make amends.”

Mu Huainan did not speak.

“But even if you rebuild the Lu family compound, so what? So what if you took Lu Weian in to raise her? Does this make up for everything you’ve done to the Lu family? ”

Right … Everything that the Lu Family had done …

My heart clenched. I wanted to hear it, but I didn’t dare to.

“If Lu Weian knew that you were the one who killed her parents, what do you think her reaction would be?”

You killed her parents.

The words kept coming back and forth in my head, and my heart sank to the bottom. I hope for Mu Huainan to help me save my heart, tell her the truth, and tell her that it wasn’t you!

But in the end, I didn’t hear anything from Mu Huainan either.

He didn’t know if he was too lazy to explain, as usual, or if he really had nothing to say.

“That fire is so strong, so strong, watch from the side, it must be very exciting.”

Lin Shupei embellished the story, wishing that she could describe everything that had happened to the Lu Family on the day of the accident, not sparing a single item.

I listened to him, my whole body tense.

I have never wished for Mu Huainan to say anything so much before.

But he didn’t.

On the contrary, the one who spoke was Lin Shupei.

“Mu Huainan, do you understand what’s called a heart as sharp as a knife?”

She said, “I’ll tell you now.”

My body was stiff, from the moment I heard those words, I didn’t know how to react. Lin Shupei walked towards me, first removing the hat on my head, the mask on my face and finally the sunglasses.

When my face completely appeared in front of Mu Huainan, he stood there in shock. As for me, I didn’t even want to spare him another glance as I turned and ran away.

It’s a pity I’ve lost a leg. It wasn’t fast at all, I fell to the ground in a few steps, and I hated myself for being useless.

He came over and leaned over me, his voice urgent.

“What happened to your leg?”

I tried to stand up, but the more anxious I became, the more I couldn’t get up.

“Hai.” He sighed in my ear, then reached out and took me in his arms.

“Put me down.” I struggled and glared at him, but he seemed unmoved.

“Mu Huainan, put me down!”

“Let’s go to the hospital and check your legs first.”

“I can walk by myself!”

Even as he struggled to break free, he carried the car off the road and carried me up to it, still holding me in his arms.

“Mu Huainan, you bastard!”

In the small space, I finally burst out, tears like broken beads, one by one down, he just hugged me, patted my back, and used the back of his hand to wipe my tears away.

His hand was ice-cold and had a unique smell to it, and I was like this again and again, my heart went soft again and again, and only after pain did I harden up.

I just can’t hate him. I even have hopes for him.

“Mu Huainan, don’t you want to explain something?”

He looked down at me, his eyes dark, his heart aching.

He said, “I’m sorry, Anthea.”

The sentence this time was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, causing me to lose all sense of direction.

“My parents’ deaths …” After a long time, I finally muttered, “Is it really related to you …”

Before he could answer, the car had already stopped, right next to the hospital. He opened the door to get out first, and then to help me out, but just as I was waiting for him to get out of the car, I quickly closed the door and anxiously patted the driver’s back: “Let’s go! “Driver, drive!”

Mu Huainan was crazily knocking on the window outside, I purposely didn’t look back at him.

The driver hesitated, but it seemed that I was the weaker party, so he showed mercy and led me away.

“Miss, where are you going now?”

When the driver asked me, I could no longer hear Mu Huainan’s voice calling my name, and finally had the courage to look back. His figure had already been left behind as a small black dot, moving further and further away.

I always thought I had grown up and matured after nine or nine years. However, in the end, he would still only run when faced with something, not face it head on. It was the same as the past.

The driver asked me where I was going, and I thought for a long time.

“Let’s go to the northern suburbs.”

He did not know why the only place he could remember in his mind was there, where the Jing’an Garden was located. It was also the only place that could accommodate people for hundreds of miles.

The driver looked at me in the rearview mirror as he drove, but he couldn’t help it.

“Was that person just now with An Fang’s Mr. Mou?”

He had probably seen the appearance of the Mr. Mou on TV before. Many people actually knew about it, but even more of them were people who did not dare to recognize him.

I looked at the driver’s nervous eyes in the rearview mirror and nodded.

“Yes.”

“Little girl, how did you manage to provoke An Fang’s men? Your leg …”

I hurriedly replied, “It has nothing to do with him.”

“Hai.” The driver sighed, “It’s better for a girl like you not to go to such a place. The people there are people you can’t afford to offend.”

It sounded familiar.

Along the way, I seemed to have heard these words countless of times. I had also repeatedly told myself that Mu Huainan wasn’t someone I could afford to offend.

But in the end.

He fell in love with her more and more.

I could have forgiven everything for him and swallowed down all the suffering I had gone through in the past, but now I know that he was the one who harmed my parents.

I became the biggest fool in the world.

“Miss, we’re at the north side of the city.”

I didn’t know when the car would stop, the driver reminded me, I came back to my senses, but found that I had no money in my pocket, and my cell phone wasn’t with me, so I couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed.

“How much is the driver?”

I turned to look, and Lin Shupei took out a red one hundred yuan note, and gave it to the driver.

“Forget it, there’s no need to look for it.”

She opened the door for me.

“How did you know I would come?” As I got out of the car, I asked her, “So you were waiting for me here?”

She shook her head.

“Just by hearing the engine of a car, I knew that someone was coming. Just by guessing, I knew it was you.”

I smiled bitterly and stood next to her, watching the car go by, the rumble of the engine growing farther and farther away until it was lost in the dust, and then the silence of heaven and earth returned.

We stood there for a long time, neither of us saying a word.

We were all stupid, stupid enough to love someone we shouldn’t have loved for so many years.

The night wind is blowing, the suburbs are not as cold as the city, instead, it’s colder, Lin Shupei stomped her feet and turned her head to look at me.

“Alright, stop daydreaming. Go in.”

I nodded.

The Jing’an Garden had a pretty good name, but it was a pity that the courtyard was already in a mess, a pity that the candy was gone, a pity that the sandalwood window was broken, and a pity about the stories that happened in the courtyard.

Lin Shupei spoke up from the side.

“When I first came to live here, I was twenty-one and had been living with Anfang for seven or eight years.”

As she spoke, I followed her. I looked at the ruins in the distance and stood quietly behind her, listening.

“Mu Huainan should have told you the origin of his Nine Supremes title.”

“Yes.”

“Ever since he was called the Ninth Master, almost everyone in the underworld knew that he was cruel and merciless. After that, no one would dare to provoke him. ”

“Why? It’s just a name.”

“You don’t understand. At that time, among the nine underage children of the Owner, if he wanted to choose one of them to be his foster son, he would have been considered one of the most outstanding talents among his peers. In terms of methods and brains, he was no weaker than an ordinary adult, and Mu Huainan being able to defeat the remaining eight people, one can imagine how powerful he is.”

“You were among the eight people, right?”

Lin Shupei looked into the distance and nodded lightly.

“When I was young, I had no parents, and when I was three or four years old, I started to mix with the society. When I was eight years old, I stabbed someone with a knife, and when I was nine years old, I was let out of the prison because I was a minor. When I was ten years old, I started stealing things, and the biggest thing I stole was a gun, and the owner of that gun was the Old Owner back then.”

“Old Owner wanted to chop my hand off after he caught me. In order to save my life, I had to give him a way to make up for my insanity.”

“What remedy?” I asked.

“I promised Old Owner that I would give him five guns in three days, and begged him to let me go.”

“Steal a gun?”

I can’t believe it, this is a crime. It’s hard for an adult to do it, let alone a child like her.
