What a joke. When Liang Zhou first arrived, she had been sincerely worried about Mu Chen. She had thought Mu Chen had a lover outside of his marriage and was thinking about ways she could cover up for him in front of Jiang Jin. Who knew the joke was on her? She was like a clown.
At this moment, she had broken down completely, torn to pieces. Her eyes brimmed with despair and her face was stained with tears as she looked at Mu Chen in a daze. After a while, she asked hoarsely, “W-why… Why did you bring me here and show me this?”
Mu Chen said, “Don’t misunderstand. I don’t have any good intentions.”
Liang Zhou was not surprised by these words. She only smiled bitterly as she covered her face with her hands. This was her retribution.
“Now, do you want to know who that woman is?” Mu Chen asked emotionlessly.
Liang Zhou did not give herself any more time to mourn her feelings. What right did she have to mourn anyway? She slowly rose to her feet, feeling as though her flesh was being torn and her bones were breaking. She composed herself, no longer looking as sorry as before. With great difficulty, she used the wall to support her as she stood up. She felt as though she was walking on knives as she made her way to the binoculars again. She smiled bitterly as she wondered if this was the pain Liang Zhen had felt back then.
She inhaled deeply before she looked through the binoculars again.
At this time, the woman was no longer in Mu Qing’s arms. She was feeding Mu Qing’s grapes, and Mu Qing’s lips held the grape and that woman’s fingers, lightly biting that woman’s finger. That woman reached out with her other hand and stroked Mu Qing’s face before retracting both her hands. When she turned around, the smile on her face did not fade at all.
Liang Zhou lost her strength and sat limply on the ground again. She looked at Mu Chen as though she had seen a ghost. Her lips opened and closed, but no words came out. She felt as though she had fallen into an ice cellar; she felt frozen.
Mu Chen’s expression was frosty.
Liang Zhou mustered up all her strength and said two words with great difficulty, “Song… Ning…”
Mu Chen took a step forward and looked down on Liang Zhou.
Liang Zhou had to crane her neck up to look at him.
“Listen carefully. That woman isn’t Song Ning. She’s Ye Xin,” Mu Chen said slowly, emphasizing each word.
Liang Zhou felt as though her brain had broken down at this time. She could not process Mu Chen’s words. She understood the words, but she could not process them.
Mu Chen reached out and lifted the curtains slightly. “You have two options now. First, you can rush there and fight to the death with Mu Qing and Ye Xin. However, let me warn you, Ye Xin currently is of great use to Mu Qing. Hence, he’d definitely take her side. You’d only humiliate yourself if you go over there now. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try.”
Mu Chen lowered the curtains again before he said, “There’s a second option. Ye Xin disguised herself as Song Ning to enter the Mu family. The Ye family is unaware of this. Ye Xin’s mother, Gao Wen, is currently searching high and low for psychics and exorcists to exorcize the demons or ghosts in Ye Xin’s body. It’s up to you to expose Ye Xin or not.”
Mu Chen stood at the entrance of the balcony as he said, “I’ve already bought this villa so you can come here at any time. If you like it, you can tell Mr. Jiang to transfer it to your name. If you need money or manpower, you can look for Mr. Jiang. However, don’t misunderstand; I have no intention of helping you. I only want to borrow your hand to deal with them.. The choice is in your hand now. What do you want to do?”
