Chapter 33: Qiao Qing's Jealousy

  "Mom, why did you marry dad in the first place?" After a long silence, just when Dong Qiu thought her daughter had fallen asleep, Mu You suddenly asked this question.

  Dong Qiu was taken aback for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and his response was a long sigh.

  Muyou didn't understand, and looked up at her mother's profile, which had a melancholic curve under the lamplight.

  "Xiao You, there are some things that you're still too young to understand, Mom said so. Dong Qiu lowered her head, looking at Mu You with eyes full of love and affection, saying seriously for the first time to her daughter: "Mother's greatest hope for you is that in this life, you can hold hands with the one you love most. This seems easy, but it's actually very difficult, little You."

  "Mom, what do you mean by this? Are you referring to Dad......?"

  "Xiao You!" Dong Qiu suddenly shouted loudly, stopping what Mu You was about to say next and startling her.

  Is there still some unknown secret between Mother and Mu Cheng? It's always been said that big families have many secrets, could the Mu family be the same?

  After the shock, Mu You calmed down unexpectedly quickly. On the other hand, Dong Qiu felt somewhat apologetic to Mu You for her loss of control just now, fearing that she had scared her.

  "Mom, don't frown." Mu Yu smiled and smoothed out the wrinkles that had just appeared between her mother's eyebrows. Her tone was warm and affirmative, "In this life of mine, my greatest wish is to hope that mom can have a happy smile every day, forever and ever, never to be sad again..."

  "Little Yu..." Dong Qiu suddenly felt a pang of heartache towards her daughter's understanding, looking at the happy smile on Mu Yu's face. In a daze, she was also afraid to face her, if she knew, if she knew...

  "Xiao You, your future must be very happy, otherwise Mom will feel very guilty..." Even on that day, when Mom is no longer around...

  "Mom, do you love Xiaoyou very much?" Mu You didn't sense the turmoil in Dong Qiu's heart and was still thinking about the answer to that question. "If Dad did something that hurt me and Xiao Han..."

  "I won't allow it!" Dong Qiu's voice was firm and resolute, his expression turning stern in an instant, like a soldier determined to die for his cause. His words left Mu You speechless.

  "I can die for him, but if it's for the sake of my children, I'll personally send him to death with my own hands, even if it costs me my whole life!"

  What Dong Qiu said was so resolute, with an unchangeable momentum, completely overturning the long-term gentle image she had in Mu You's heart.

  It turns out that her mother also had such a cold side, the greatness of maternal love is just like this...

  That night, Mu You didn't know if it was because she had solved the doubts in her mind and relaxed physically and mentally, or because her mother was by her side so she felt particularly at ease. She slept very comfortably and had a dream. In the dream, lavender bloomed beautifully...

  "I'm warning you, it's better for you to leave this house early. You're a cripple and weak, clinging to others' homes and refusing to leave, what's the matter with you?!"

  The next day, Mu You had just thought of finding Bu Qi to discuss the plan for going abroad, but before he could get close, a piercing noise came from inside the door.

  This tone and this voice almost instantly ignited the anger in Mu You's heart. Qiao Qing, in your past life, you bullied me and that was fine, but now, you won't even spare my friends? My friends, are they people you can bully?!

  Mu Yu was just about to push open the door when Nangong's voice rose up a step ahead, stopping her from taking further action.

  "I... can leave, but before that... I absolutely want to expose your true face to Sister Mu!" The sound of Buqi's voice came through the door panel, somewhat intermittent and weak. The words reached Mu You's ears, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

  "Hmph, expose? Do you think you still have that possibility?" Qiao Qing let out a scornful laugh, looking at Ye Buqi who was paralyzed and lying in his wheelchair. The malicious glint in her eyes grew stronger, especially when she saw Ye Buqi's exquisite face, the flames of jealousy burning wildly within her rationality.

  She wants her dead! Anyone who helps Yu and stands on Yu's side will disappear from this world! What's the use of being beautiful? Isn't it just a waste? Even if she strangles her to death right now, I'm afraid no one would know. Thinking so, Qiao Qing's hand tightened around Wu Yao's neck!

  Standing at the door, Muyou had not heard any movement inside for a long time. At first, he found it strange, but as time went on, an idea flashed through his mind, and he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. With a loud "bang", he kicked open the door with great force.

  "Qiao Qing, what are you doing?!" Mu You kicked open the door and looked at the scene in front of her, her whole body trembling with rage. She slapped Qiao Qing's face with a loud crack, catching her off guard. Qiao Qing endured the slap, her hand also loosening its grip in shock.

  "Bu qi? Bu qi! How are you? Wake up quickly!" Mu Yu looked at Bu Qi, who was pale and sweating profusely on the wheelchair, and felt a chill in her heart. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if something really happened to Bu Qi here, how Bu Li would treat her, and how she would face her own conscience.

  She thought she could give him a better life, but instead, she ended up pushing herself to the forefront and getting hurt badly.

  Thinking of this, Mu You's eyes turned red with anger, and she glared at Qiao Qing who was standing beside her in a daze. She said word by word: "Qiao Qing, I'm telling you, if something really happens to me today, believe me, later on, I'll let you know what it means... to be worse off than dead!"

  Having said that, she hugged him tightly and ran out of the room while loudly shouting "Xiao Han, hurry up and start the car, Wuyi is in trouble!"

  "What's going on?" As soon as the words fell, Mu Han opened her own door and ran out, her eyes dazed. When she glanced at Mu You's weak breath in Yu's eyes, she finally reacted, her whole body trembling with excitement. Without regard for her mother who was also startled by the noise, and Qiao Qing who was standing aside with a resentful expression, she turned around and jumped down from the second floor railing, taking Yu away from Mu You's hands.

  "I'll go start the car, you hold her, I'll be right back!" Mu You's breathing was a bit disordered, and after saying that, he didn't even have time to rest before rushing out of the house.

  "What's going on here?!" Mu Han looked at the person with weak breathing in his hands, his eyes filled with an unprecedented ferocity that made Dong Qiu feel a little nervous. Finally, Mu Han's terrifying gaze locked onto Qiao Qing, and when he saw the red marks on her face, he suddenly guessed a few things. The words he spoke were surprisingly similar to those of Mu You.

  "Qiao Qing, I'm telling you, if you don't give up on this matter today, I'll make you taste the bitterness of regret, and see just how painful it is!"
