Chapter 232: Rebuke
Liang Zhou looked at the mother and son in shock. She did not dare to speak nor did she know what to say. Her brain was still processing the mother and son’s words. What did Jiang Jin mean by asking Mu Qing to make up for past mistakes? Was she the past mistake they mentioned? Her brain was buzzing as she tried to figure out what was happening.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jin nodded in satisfaction after listening to Mu Qing’s reply. Then, she looked at Liang Zhou and said, “Liang Zhou, don’t bother Song Ning anymore. Liang Zhen is watching from three feet above your head…”
Liang Zhou could not help but shrink back in fear.
“Technically, this is Mu Qing’s fault, and it has nothing to do with you. However, you’re Liang Zhen’s sister, and what you did was intentional; it wasn’t an accident. Back then, I’d said many good and bad words. Whether you listen to them or not isn’t any of my business. I don’t want to waste my energy arguing with you…” Jiang Jin slowly said, “You’ve been by Mu Qing’s side for so many years so I can see the depths of your feelings. Like I’d said before, because of Liang Zhen, you won’t be able to enter the Mu family for the rest of your life. This is a fact that can’t be changed. You shouldn’t complain since this is the path you’ve chosen for yourself. I only have two requests for you: one, don’t harbor ill intentions toward the Mu family; two, don’t hurt the members of the Mu family. If you’re able to do these things, I’ll naturally wish for you and Mu Qing to grow old together; I love my son after all. However, if you can’t do these things, then don’t blame me for being merciless…”
Jiang Jin did not mince her words and spoke very bluntly to Liang Zhou.
Liang Zhou did not even dare to breathe heavily and could only lower her head. She had never won a battle with the old lady in front of her. The old lady’s momentum and aura were so strong that they suffocated and suppressed her. No matter what preparations or response she thought up in advance, they would vanish as soon as she faced the old lady. However, who knew where she found her courage at this time; she actually looked at Jiang Jin and asked, “Old Madam, can you tell me why you dislike me so much?”
Tears streamed down Liang Zhou’s face when she asked this question; this had been the demon in her heart for many years. She said through her tears, “If Mu Qing and Liang Zhen’s love was true, I wouldn’t have been able to move him no matter how hard I tried. It’s clear they don’t have a good relationship, but why do you blame everything on me? Old Madam, after so many years, you should know I’m sincere toward Mu Qing, right? However, you still won’t acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law or let me address you as Mother. Don’t you think you’re too cruel to me?”
Liang Zhou cried bitterly as she fell to the ground.
Mu Qing nudged Liang Zhou, trying to stop her, but she was unmoved. She was determined to get an explanation today.
Jiang Jin looked at Liang Zhou coldly, but her voice was calm as she said, “Liang Zhou, you always seem to forget about your other identity.
Jiang Jin looked at her with cold eyes, but her tone was calm. “Liang Zhou, you’ve always forgotten that you have another identity.”
Liang Zhou raised her head slightly, not understanding Jiang Jin’s meaning.
Jiang Jin’s voice hardened as she continued to say, “You forget that you’re Liang Zhen’s biological sister. If Mu Qing had cheated with someone else, there was a possibility that person might not have known he was married and fell for my scumbag son. If that was the case, that person would be blameless. However, Liang Zhou, not only did you know he was married, but you also knew he was your sister’s husband. Even then, you disregarded ethics and family ties and unscrupulously destroyed your sister’s marriage. Moreover, you were originally supposed to marry Mu Qing. You were unwilling at that time and did not hesitate to implicate your younger sister. You pushed your sister into the fire pit twice. Liang Zhou, not only did you kill your sister, but you killed your sister’s heart as well. Liang Zhou, do you not feel any guilt at all?”
Although Liang Zhou’s head was lowered, she could see Jiang Jin’s chest heaving up and down heavily. She bowed and said, “Old Madam, I admit my mistakes. I owe Liang Zhen. I don’t have the chance this life, but I’ll repay her in the next life. However, life is short. I hope you can take pity on me and let me use the rest of my life to atone for my sins to Mu Qing and Mu Chen. Mu Chen is my nephew after all…”
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Jin lost her temper. “Are you trying to disgust Mu Chen to death?”
