Chapter 68: An Unforgivable Grudge!
This day was not peaceful.
The entire Japanese campus is no longer vying for the so-called top spot. The position of the top spot is no longer enough to attract their attention! Now, boys and girls are talking about Mo Lian Lian, Jiu Mei Luo Lan, that life-and-death bet agreement!
Opening the World Campus Network, what catches the eye is the news that occupies half of the webpage: The mysterious talented woman makes a life-or-death bet, Mo Lianlian makes a grand vow: Surpass the Provoking Witch!!
The original name of the Fire Witch has faded away with time and slowly disappeared from campus. Now, this life-and-death agreement has made the name of the Fire Witch spread like wildfire in the academy once again. It can be said that the level of attention is no less than it was back then! Some people have even started searching for the original Fire Witch.
That day after school, Muyi Xian went back alone ahead of time.
She went to the kitchen, using her own hands, carefully preparing meals. Jiūměi, what should you do, you and Zhīchún treat Mùyìxiān like this. How can Mùyìxiān repay you? Jiūměi, you're actually willing to stake your life on it. It's just a troublesome witch, not worth it.
Jiū Měi Luò Lán, Xià Zhī Chún also returned home. The atmosphere was very quiet, lacking the joy of the past.
"Are you back? I've cooked dinner."
One by one, exquisite things were taken out.
Three people sat at the dinner table, none of them moving their chopsticks. Even Zhichun, who was usually a big eater, just stared at the dishes, looking dazed.
The silence lasted for a very long time.
The rice has gone cold, and the dishes have also cooled down. The bowls and chopsticks are still arranged as before.
"Jiūměi, zhī chún, zhī dào wǒ hèn yè liǎo yì ba." Mùyì xiān dǎ pò zhè fèn níng jìng.
Translation:
“ Ji Mei, know that I hate Ye Liao Yi.” Murong Xian broke the silence.
She took a light breath, and Mu Yu Xian continued: "I said before, my family used to have a martial arts school. The address was in the most luxurious commercial area of Taiwan. But now, that martial arts school no longer exists, replaced by the new skyscraper of Ye Shi Enterprise! How laughable. Two years ago... Ye Shi Enterprise negotiated with my family, wanting to buy our land. The first time, they failed. But they didn't give up. The second time, they came again, this time it was the CEO of Ye Shi Enterprise himself, Ye Ruo Yi's father. He personally came to negotiate with us, but still ended in failure. One after another, the third time, the fourth time, no matter how many times that CEO came, my dad and mom didn't agree. It wasn't that my parents were being stubborn. Because they met, got to know each other, and fell in love at that martial arts school. That was where their love story began. And also because of that martial arts school, I exist."
Who would have thought of bringing up the painful past, Mu Yi's voice was already choked with sobs, her eyes were already red. "In the end, they lost their patience and became demons, they used force, coercion, and those despicable methods to kidnap my mom! Forcing my dad to sign a contract!!" The clenched fist was trembling nonstop, the fingernails digging into the palm of her hand. Thin threads of blood seeped out.
"That's enough, Xiaoxian! Don't say any more!" Xia Zhichun stood up, she had never thought that the reason behind things would be so complicated, and she didn't want Xiaoxian to rub salt in her wounds.
At this moment, Mu Yixian smiled, a bitter smile, thinking of the past, only able to smile bitterly! "Dad valued mom's life more than anything else. He hated himself for not protecting mom well, punching sandbags all night, his hands were covered in blood. Fresh red blood. The next day, he used blood to sign the contract! Just to save mom! On the day the martial arts hall was handed over to the Ye Corporation, the Ye Corporation instantly razed the martial arts hall to the ground!" Each word was spat out, and with each word, Mu Yixian's heart trembled. It was as if her heart was bleeding. "Yes, Chen Xuan said it right, you guys also guessed it right, I am that fire-starting witch. Because I liked going out and adventuring, hoping to create my own world, so I didn't like going home. Didn't like paying attention to family matters. When I saw on the news that our martial arts hall was acquired by the Ye Corporation...I ran back home frantically. I prayed dad and mom were fine. But...when I ran back to the martial arts hall, it had already disappeared. In the garden next door, I found dad hugging a woman's corpse. That woman was my mom!!" The last sentence, Mu Yixian almost shouted out! Tears also flowed out with it.
