Chapter 25: Life is like a flower - carefree

  "Three years? Tomorrow?" Musui Xue couldn't believe her ears.

  "Uh... it's tomorrow, we've been preparing for two days already."

  "What's the anniversary of your marriage three years ago?" Muxi Xue reluctantly spat out these few words.

  "You, you're so young, speaking without respect... This is Mr. Xia's place. I have to go to work." The woman turned and left. The girl was emitting anger, heaven knows what her relationship with the master of this house is, it's better for her to say less.

  Xue put down her luggage and walked straight into the living room. The living room, like the courtyard, was bustling with servants coming and going, busy wiping the stairs, chandeliers and everything that could be wiped; busy arranging various flowers and fruits; busy decorating the room with ribbons, balloons and fresh flowers.

  As dusk approached, two people with the most eye-catching red characters walked past her - "Summer North Pei Yiyun's Three-Year Wedding Celebration".

  Another line of big red characters flashed by her side: "A hundred years of good harmony".

  "Love love".

  Xuexue's small hands trembled as she clenched her fists, unaware that their happy days were the same day her mother left. Celebrate? Commemorate? Where was mom? No wonder Father wanted to worship his mother in advance and came up with a bunch of excuses: As long as you have it in your heart, it's all the same whenever you worship; things at the company are too busy, the road is too far, it's impossible to arrive on time, next year we'll bring your mom back home and worship together.

  Thinking of herself alone, holding her mother's ashes through the cold night, thinking of her mother's funeral with only one person attending, and thinking of her own lonely figure standing in front of her mother's grave every year, Musan couldn't help but tear down the red silk that was wrapped around the handrail of the stairs.

  "Miss! When did you come back?" Lin's mother exclaimed softly as she saw Musi Xue trampling on the red silk that had fallen to the ground.

  Muxi's eyes turned cold as she glanced at Lin Mama: even her most trusted Lin Mama was his accomplice! She ran upstairs, wanting to see their room, wanting to see who was occupying the nest while her mother was away!

  Lin's mother chased after her: "Miss! Miss!"

  Push open the door. How dazzling! How magnificent! The crystal chandelier spins, white silk curtains flutter endlessly, bright red roses bloom in every corner of the room, and the ancient candelabra in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. That wall-sized wedding photo, smiling so brightly...... A gift box as tall as a person stands upright, how eye-catching! How stunning!

  She had no idea their room was so romantic, it wasn't what she used to see, no, there was nothing on that wall, nothing at all!

  Actually, when she came back, they had been putting on a show for her all along.

  "Miss! How did you come back so early?" Lin's mother's voice was getting softer and softer. She saw that Musi Xue's pretty face had turned pale, and her anger was burning on her body.

  "Drive away all those who are working!" Mu Si Xue's icy voice slammed onto Lin Mama's head.

  "Miss! This is what the gentleman instructed..."

  "Drive away all those who are working!" Mu Si Xue roared in anger.

  "I...I'll go now." Lin's mom hastily ran out.

  You're having a great time! You're being so romantic! You're celebrating on Mother's memorial day! Musui Xue picked up the candles on the tea table, lit them and put them on the bed. He tore down the canopy and watched as the flames slowly crept up: Come on, angry fire, burn faster! I need a celebration!

  She locked the door and went downstairs. Liu Guanjia ran over: "Miss! We are also......"

  "Please leave! Please you leave! Please them leave!" Musui Xue didn't want to hear any explanation.

  Liu Guan's family is anxious. Mu Zhi Bei and Pei Yi Xun have gone traveling, they won't be back for at least two hours. Why did the young lady come at this time? What should he do?

  "Whose home is this?" Musk Snow had already lost his mind.

  "Miss! I..."

  Muxi Xue stretched out her hand and smashed the crystal vase with freshly inserted flowers on the ground: "Do you still want it?"

  "I... I'll let them go now. Let them go!" Liu Guanjia stopped talking and hastily explained to the crowd, while Lin's mother also persuaded the crowd to leave first.

  She wants to set off the biggest fireworks for their celebration.

  She walked into the small kitchen, closed the window, found a bottle of oil, turned on the gas, and opened the kitchen door. Carrying the oil, she went to the living room, saw that there were still several people doing the final cleaning work, and had not left yet. She shouted loudly: "If you feel that life is too painful and want to be blown up, then stay here!" After finishing speaking, she poured the oil on the handrail of the stairs, the torn silk, and the fabric in the living room, then threw down the oil bottle and quickly ran out of the living room.

  She knew what she was doing, she knew what she wanted, and she even hoped that Xia Zhi Bei and Pei Yi Yun were in the hall at this moment.

  "It's on fire! It's on fire!" Two people ran down from downstairs.

  Those workers who were still finishing up in the living room saw Muxi Xue splashing something on the floor. After splashing, they ran away, and the people running down from upstairs shouted that there was a fire. With a bad premonition, they hastily threw down their work and followed them out.

  Liu Guan's family was sending workers away, and saw the finishing worker running out behind Mu Si Xue. He found it strange: "What's going on? Didn't we agree that there was just a little bit left to finish before leaving?"

  Several people looked at each other in dismay, unsure of what to say, for half a day. Then one person said: "It's on fire!"

  "Is it on fire?" Liu Guan's family frowned: "Where?"

  "Bedroom! It seems like a bedroom!" Someone saw the second floor on fire.

  "Really?"

  "The door is closed, it seems like there's smoke, yes, there's smoke."

  "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put out the fire!" Liu said as he rushed towards the building.

  Muxi Snow blocked his way: "They didn't see clearly, it was me who drove them out."

  "Miss, you..."

  "I said it clearly. I don't like having so many strangers at home, please everyone go back."

  Lin's mother walked over: "Young lady! I know you're feeling wronged, but we're just following orders."

  "I knew it! So I let everyone out just now. Let's hurry up and leave this place!" Musi Xue pulled her suitcase: "Lin Mama, sorry! Please give my regards to Ali."

  "Big sister, what are you going to do? You can't just come back and leave again."

  "Where are you going?" Musui Xue smiled slightly: "I'm going home, back to the home of my mother and me."

  Liu Guan's family saw that Muxi was about to leave and walked straight in the direction of the foreign building. He wanted to see if it had really caught fire. Mr. Mu had entrusted such a large household to him, and he must take good care of it.

  Muzi Xue turned around, wanting to take a last look at her home, and saw Liu Guan's family walking in, carrying boxes. She ran over: "I don't want outsiders entering my home!"

  "An outsider? Young lady! I've been in this house longer than you have. Your father was only ten years old when I first came here."

  "Your surname isn't Xia." Musi Xue's voice was chillingly cold.

  "Your grandmother didn't have the surname Xia either!" The more Mu Si Xue tried to stop him, the more afraid Liu Guan Jia became. After Madame's passing, Miss's temperament changed greatly. Why wouldn't she let people enter?

  "What you said is right, so she's not in this building now!"

  "You... I must go in..." Liu Guan saw the flames, he saw that the bedroom was on fire.

  He pushed Mu Si Xue away, but Mu Si Xue hugged Liu Guan's family from behind: "You can't go! Can't go!"

  "Liu Guan's family shouted loudly: "You bad girl! You set fire, and you set fire in your own home! This is a hundred-year-old house! Lin Mama!"

  Lin's mother ran over: "Liu Guanjia! Miss is unhappy, you'd better not disturb her. She doesn't let us in, we'll wait until she calms down before entering..."

  "It's on fire! Didn't you see that the second floor is on fire!" Liu shouted loudly: "Call all those people back, put out the fire!"

  "Go in and you'll die!" Mu Si Xue Song opened Liu Guan Jia, a faint smile of sadness flashed across his face: "If you want them to die with you, then call them over."

  "What did you say?"

  "I said if you let them in, it's letting them go to their deaths!"

  "What have you done?!"

  "You'll find out what I've done soon enough, just stand right there."

  "Bang——!"

  As soon as Mù Sī Xuě's words fell, a loud noise pierced the sky. Liú Guǎnjiā and Mù Sī Xuě fell to the ground together.

  Liu Guan stood up from the ground, and in front of him was a sea of flames that were about to engulf him. Miss, where's Miss? He was with Miss just now.

  Muxi Xue gazed out at the red ocean and burst into maniacal laughter: "This is my gift! The most solemn gift to their so-called wedding celebration!"

  "Miss...!" Liu Guanjia heard the crazy laughter of Musi Xue, got up from the ground, and the figure of Musi Xue had already disappeared at the gate.

  "Lin's mother! Are you okay?" Liu Guan saw Lin's mother sitting on the ground in a daze.

  "Miss is crazy! Miss is crazy!" Lin's mother muttered to herself.

  She's crazy! She's gone mad! She burned down that house. That house full of Bai Yiyun.

  After returning to Chicago, Muxi Xue locked herself in her room for two days and two nights, not eating or drinking, sitting on the floor recalling every detail of the past. At that time, her mother always said he was too busy with work, telling her to be more understanding of him. In fact, her mother was lying, a kind-hearted lie. But she, she was always complaining about her mother, finding fault in everything she said, even doubting whether she was really her mother.

  Now thinking about it, her mother had to take care of her who lost her memory and also make excuses for the man who betrayed him. Her heart must be very bitter. She only now knows why the woman she called mother always silently shed tears at night. She hates herself so much, if she was more obedient back then, at least they could live happily together now.

  Fate was cruel to her, first making her lose her memory, then taking away the person who loved her most in this world.

  No! Fate was even more cruel to the woman named Guan Xue, first taking away her loved one, then her daughter, and finally, brutally taking away her own life.

  She hates herself so much!

  The man who called himself her father, the man who always wore a smile on his face, the man who had been deceiving her all along. She foolishly trusted him, loved him, and got as close to him as possible, believing every word he said. He told her that her mother had said before she died that she wanted to be buried facing the sea by Rain Mountain, so she naively believed it and laid her mother to rest in Water City's Rain Mountain.

  He said he and Pei Yiyun have not yet determined their relationship, everything will be considered after she accepts it, everything will be considered after she accepts it. How ridiculous, they've been married for three years, and he's still saying that his relationship with that woman has to wait until she accepts that woman.

  She's so silly, she even went to find a priest to confess and blamed herself for not accepting that woman sooner.

  This world is so strange, this world is so chaotic, who can she still believe in, or depend on? Everything is a lie, all lies...
