Chapter 001: Get out!
A crisp slapping sound echoed through the empty room, accompanied by a loud and shrill angry shout, "Get out of here! Never come back again!"
"No, Father, I beg of you, just let me stay in this house and I'll do anything, my brother still needs my care!" Mu Yu suddenly knelt down with a "thud", tightly grasping the hem of Mu Cheng's clothes, her thin face covered in tears, on the left side was the red mark that had been brutally slapped by Mu Cheng just now, despite being so disheveled, it couldn't hide her elegance.
Suddenly, the door was opened and a sharp, shrill voice that sent shivers down one's spine rang out in this space.
"Ah Cheng! Qingqing, she's not going to make it!" A woman in her thirties with a worried look on her face rushed towards Mu Cheng, but the deep-seated gaze at Mu You was full of malice.
As soon as he heard this, Mu Cheng's anger ignited and he grabbed a handful of Mu You's hair, pulling her out. Mu You struggled desperately but was no match for his strength, and a large clump of her hair was torn out instantly.
"Sister! Mu Cheng, let go of my sister!" Mu Han was startled by the commotion and rushed over from downstairs. Seeing his own sister being treated in such a cruel manner, he didn't care that one of his legs was crippled, and his handsome face filled with rage, as he uncontrollably shouted at Mu Cheng while struggling to make his way upstairs.
"Mu Han, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you're the only son of the Mu family. I'm telling you, even if you hadn't lost a leg, you're not my only heir. Since there's already a Qingqing in the family, I can still have another child to replace you!"
"How can you say such a thing?!" With a ruthless heart, Mu Yu grabbed her own hair and pulled it with all her might, completely disregarding the intense pain that came with it. At this moment, she had already lost the last bit of trust in the person standing before her who was supposed to be her father. Mu Han's face was also deathly pale, and he forcibly stopped himself from taking a step forward, but his tightly clenched fist revealed the humiliation and pain in his heart at that moment.
"Mu Han..." Mu You's soft call was laced with a hint of worry.
Yes, why did she keep believing that the person in front of her could suddenly wake up and change? Five years ago, when Mu Qing and her mother appeared before them, shouldn't she have known that this would be the outcome today?
"You're really just like your mother, both of you love to steal other people's men!" Qiao Yan saw the wretched appearance of Mu You and her brother, and felt a sense of schadenfreude in her heart. The dignified and virtuous demeanor she usually put on also showed some cracks at this moment.
"Shut up!" As soon as Qiao Yan insulted her mother, Mu You loudly shouted, completely losing the weakness she had in front of Mu Cheng. She never had a good face for this person!
Six years ago, due to this person's machinations, my grandfather suffered a heart attack and has been bedridden in the hospital ever since.
Four years ago, due to this person's constant harassment and ridicule, his mother suffered from severe depression, eventually becoming bedridden and dying in a state of despair.
Two years ago, because of this person, he was deprived of the right to go to school by his father again, staying at home like a free laborer, washing clothes, cooking, and sweeping floors, so that people around him thought he was a special nanny hired by this family, privately ridiculing and mocking...
But just yesterday, this person's daughter brought her boyfriend of five years to stand in front of him, flaunting and boasting that she was the third party, while her boyfriend stood silently beside her, not saying a word!
The corners of his mouth curled up in a self-mocking smile, Mu You's eyes were cold and sharp as he looked at Qiao Yan, his tone sarcastic:
"What man? Which man? Is it that Chen Zirui guy? I wouldn't even bother to snatch a crooked gourd like him!"
"You!" Unexpectedly, Mu You reacted so strongly that Qiao Yan's face suddenly looked a bit ugly, but she quickly calmed down and sneered loudly: "I think you're just sour grapes because you can't get what you want? Or are you born with a cheap bone, and Zi Rui couldn't satisfy you, so after being discovered, you simply gave up?"
"You this vixen shut up, not everyone will be as shameless as you to do that kind of thing!" Mu Han originally had good upbringing, but facing such a woman, he really couldn't be polite, especially after she insulted his sister, it made him furious, immediately loudly scolding, walking up the stairs wanting to protect Mu You behind him.
When Qiao Yan heard Mu Han's insults, her face turned green and white, but she was restrained by the man beside her and couldn't erupt. She knew that Mu Han was different from Mu You, although Mu Cheng had just said so, but in his heart, he still considered this son very important, so she could only pretend to be wronged but not dare to refute, in order to win Mu Cheng's sympathy.
As expected, Mu Cheng was furious and couldn't help but glare at him with disapproval. Now he felt that this son of his was quite disobedient, and with a slap, he struck him.
A loud "slap" was quite ear-piercing, and Mo Han hadn't even reacted when he was slapped in the face by his own father, still in front of the person he hated the most. He was stunned on the spot, and then his heart was overwhelmed with infinite pain, anger, and humiliation.
What's even more heart-wrenching is Mu You. In the past, no matter how his father treated him, he would never bear to lay a hand on his younger brother, despite his disability, after all, he was the only male in the household. Therefore, she also knew that although her younger brother was very rude to their father on the surface, in his heart, he still reserved a place for him. In some ways, the inner thoughts of these two father and son were quite similar.
But that slap just now was enough to shatter the last bit of illusion in Mu Han's heart about his father...
Her eyes scanned to the side, where Qiao Yan was smiling, and Mu You's anger rose from her heart. She went up without saying a word and gave her a slap on the ear. She could endure being wronged and scolded herself, but what she couldn't tolerate most was seeing the people she cared about getting hurt!
Qiao Yan could never have anticipated that Mu You would make such a bold move, and for a moment she was unable to react, her gaze at Mu You becoming even more venomous and resentful.
"Ah Cheng, you can hit me like this in front of everyone, who knows how you'll treat Qingqing behind my back! Qingqing, my poor child, are you going to leave me just like that?"
Qiao Yan's thoughts are indeed profound, able to use Mu You's slap to put herself in a weak position and evoke Mu Cheng's sympathy in an instant. With such abilities, how could her kind and gentle mother be her opponent?
"Mu Yu, you're really asking for it!" Seeing the person he loved being beaten in front of him, Mu Cheng originally felt guilty towards the mother and daughter, now even more so. He wanted to scold Mu Yu severely to vent his anger, but his son was always protecting her, so he could only shout loudly:
"Get out of my sight right now! Don't let me see you again, you can't stand your brother-in-law, can you? Then why did you slash your sister's wrist with a knife so viciously? Your brother's life is precious, but Shu Qing's isn't?"
After finishing speaking, he coaxed Ge Yan softly, who was already sobbing quietly, without looking at her again.
"Sister, let's just leave. What else is there for you to hold onto in this family? Mom is already gone, do you still expect him to turn back around?"
It was unbearable for her own sister to be treated like that, Mu Han pulled her and wanted to go downstairs, but she couldn't pull the person behind her.
Turning back, Mu Yu saw that Mu You had comforted him with a smile, and then he turned to Mu Cheng with a cold expression: "Dad, this is the last time I'll call you that...I hope you won't regret it in the future!"
Mo Cheng was about to speak again in annoyance, but when he looked up and saw Mo You's indifferent eyes, his mind inexplicably thought of that gentle woman, and he couldn't say another word. He just let out a "humph" and turned away, no longer paying attention.
Upon seeing this, Mu Han let out a nonchalant "hmm" and pulled Mu You to leave. Just as they stepped onto the stairs, a foot suddenly stretched out, catching Mu Han off guard, causing him to tumble straight down the stairs!
"Little Cold!" Looking at this sudden situation, Mu You was shocked and pale, subconsciously wanting to reach out to pull, but was slapped down by a hand that moved first!
Turning back, what she saw was Qiao Yan's triumphant smile and the sinister glint in her eyes!
Mujin also heard the scream and quickly turned around. When he saw his son lying at the bottom of the stairs, he was momentarily stunned and stood there in a daze.
"Haha, haha!" Looking at this couple in front of her, Mu Yu's heart turned completely cold, and then... died!
She walked step by step, extremely steadily, as if she hadn't seen the blood flowing down from Mu Han's body.
As she approached, she gently picked up Mu Han, a warm smile on her face, and asked: "Mu Han, do you want to live?"
She didn't say: "Mu Han, are you in pain? Can you hold on?"
She didn't say: "Muxuan, you have to hold on, you must be able to survive!"
She simply asked in a gentle tone that was soft to the extreme, lightly stroking his face and saying: "Do you want to live?"
The person in his arms seemed to be in unbearable pain, their eyelashes trembling as they finally managed to open their eyes. They opened their mouth, but nothing came out, only their eyes shone brightly as they forced a faint smile.
"Alright, sister knows... Let's go, we're leaving this house!" With a resolute tone, Yu finished the sentence and somehow found the strength to effortlessly carry Mu Han on her back.
Perhaps it was because of the hard work she had been doing day and night for these few years, her strength was much greater than that of people of the same age. Perhaps... it was because Mu Han himself was so weak and thin, Mu You had never thought that a boy could be so skinny!
Outside, the wind and rain were raging, Mu You struggled to walk on the empty road with Mu Han's back, the rain hit their bodies, and both of them gradually became icy.
Tears fell from Muyou's eyes, but were washed away by the rain; blood also stained both of their bodies red due to the impact of the rain...
It wasn't until the eastern sky was slightly lit up that workers at A City's largest cemetery discovered two extremely young corpses in front of a tombstone. What was even more astonishing was that both corpses had smiles on their faces before they died, with the male corpse having a gentle smile and the female corpse having a mocking one.
The police officers who arrived later conducted a thorough investigation at the scene and finally found that the man had died before coming to the cemetery, while the woman had cut her wrist and committed suicide.
The tombstone of the deceased they were at was a lady named Dong Qiu's grave. The woman looked quite young and had some similarities with the deceased in her eyebrows and eyes, presumably she should be a relative.
On the land stained with the fresh blood of women, the police found a piece of writing:
If there is an afterlife, I will make those who have hurt me pay with their flesh and blood!
If I have a next life, I will make those who vented their anger on me regret for their whole lives!
If I were reborn, I would... let those who loved me never suffer any harm again, even if it costs my life!
