"Xuiye!!!"He could not believe how she could lower herself like this?
He really felt ashamed for calling himself a man!
He immediately pulled her up into his tight hug!
"I...I am sorry Xuiye! I didn"t protect you well!" Mo Lingtan said in a raspy voice.
"Brother Lingtan...I didn"t do it purposely…really..."
She choked in her tears while hugging him tightly!
She was scared!
Very scared!
"I know...I know…" Mo Lingtan hugged her trembling body more tightly as if he wanted to merge her into his body so that no one could separate them now!
Not in this lifetime not in every lifetime!
Lee Xuiye controlled her emotions and looked at him while saying with the sniffed "Brother Lingtan...Please…."
"Shh!!!" Mo Lingtan put a finger on her lips and joined his forehead with her and looked into her watery eyes.
"It was not your fault, Xuiye...It was father"s fault…"
Father"s fault....
What was he talking about?
Lee Xuiye didn"t understand what he was saying but afterward, he told her everything which he had heard from Dr. Qian.
Lee Xuiye was shocked to hear what Mo Mushan had done in order to force her away from his son that she couldn"t believe that Mo Mushan would be so cruel to do this to them!
....
There were many times when she did not sleep in fear of a nightmare.
A very horrible nightmare where she faced Mo Lingtan"s hatred towards her!
But now that was all a lie!
Why did her life play with her like this?
The last five years were the most horrible period in her life, she had lost all of the people who were dearest to her!
Mo Yinan, Mo Lingtan, Yue Wanwan, Xia Xiulan…
All of the people…
There were many times, she was very tired of living her life alone and she had thought of ending her own lonely life many times…
But there was one person because of whom Lee Xuiye was still hanging on…
Lee Chang-You…
Lee Xuiye still needed to fulfill her duty as a daughter. She could not let her mother down!
However, Lee Xuiye had also planned to kill herself after taking revenge for Lee Chang-You and telling Mo Lingtan everything that she had kept from him regarding the fact that she killed Mo Yinan.
….
"Xuiye….I am sorry….I didn"t protect you well...I am such an incompetent person…"
"No….Brother Lingtan...don"t say that….It was not your fault...Brother Lingtan...I...I was really scared...Please...Brother Lingtan...don"t leave me...I really love you...Wah...Wahhh...Wahhh…"
Lee Xuiye"s body was still trembling as she felt that it was a dream and it would vanish as soon as she opened her eyes. She didn"t want to wake up!
She tightly hugged Mo Lingtan and buried her face in his chest
"Shhh! I promise...I won"t leave...I love you too, Xuiye!"
Mo Lingtan also hugged her tight and hid his face in her shoulder.
After a while of crying and giving support to each other, both of them calmed down. Mo Lingtan used his handkerchief to clean her face to an appropriate level and put his coat on her.
"Let"s go, Xuiye!"
"Where?"
"Back to Old Mansion! I won"t let him go!"
Him meant Mo Mushan.
"Brother Lingtan…!" A lingering of fear could be still seen in her eyes.
"Don"t worry, you have me now! Let"s go. Grandma is waiting for us!" Mo Lingtan kissed her forehead for a.s.surance.
"Ahhh!"
As soon as Mo Lingtan and Lee Xuiye started walking, she felt a pain in her feet because of the earlier fall.
"What happened?"
"My feet!"
Mo Lingtan immediately bent down to check her feet.
"Brother Lingtan…."
"Shhh! Let me check!"
Mo Lingtan didn"t give her a chance to protest and removed her scandal. Lee Xuiye even didn"t protest further, she just leaned on his body in fear of falling down.
"Hang in there!" Mo Lingtan said and he swiftly moved her feet.
"Ahhh!"
Lee Xuiye felt a sharp pain but it was for a fraction of a second after that, the pain vanished immediately.
"How is it now?" Mo Lingtan concernedly asked.
"I….I don"t feel pain…" Lee Xuiye smiling said while moving her feet to check.
"I will take all of the pain from your life from now on. Come on let"s go!" Mo Lingtan helped put her sandals back on her feet and they left for Old Mo Mansion.
….
Inside the living hall of Mo"s Old Mansion.
Lu Yichen saw off all of the guests earlier than usual time, in fact, Song Zhilian hadn"t even cut her birthday cake.
Li Yan and the other friends from Mo Lingtan"s gang were also confused but Lu Yichen didn"t open his mouth as it was an internal matter of the Mo Family, it would be better to not let the Mo Family"s dirty secret out. It was not that Lu Yichen didn"t have trust in his friends but as the saying goes "The walls also have ears."
Therefore, Lu Yichen shut his mouth and let Mo Lingtan tell his friends if he wanted to.
In the end, all the guests left.
Well, it was not the end, it was just a start!
"Mother, what happened to you? Why did you end the party like this without even cutting the cake?" Mo Mushan unhappily asked.
Many guests had been asking him what had happened and he had no answer despite being a family member. Many prominent politicians and figures were present at the party, now what would they think about the Mo Family for this abrupt behavior?
Song Zhilian should have at least asked him before ending the party abruptly!
"Grandma, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?" Mo Xingjuan worriedly asked.
"Yes, my dear! I am absolutely alright! Hu, my dear, I am sorry, but you have stayed here till late as there is some matter which I want to decide so I want all of the family members to be present here. You are also a part of our family now!" Song Zhilian gently said to Tang Hu and Mo Xingjuan despite being hurt internally.
"No worries grandma!" Tang Hu respectively replied.
"Mother, is everything alright?" Su Qiaolian worriedly asked.
"You will know once Lingtan comes back."
A few minutes later, Mo Lingtan came back alone. All of the members of the Mo Family including Tang Hu and the loyal butler Lu were present in the living hall.
Since all of the members had arrived, Song Zhilian turned towards Mo Mushan and asked him, "Mushan, do you still remember how your father died?"
Mo Mushan was startled by this sudden question. He wondered why Song Zhilian was asking about Mo Yinan"s death all of a sudden?
Did she know something?
Well, this was not possible, he had cleared all of the evidence which would let the Mo Family know what had actually happened that night.
"Mother, why are you asking this...all of a sudden?"
"Mushan I am asking you a question! Answer me!" Song Zhilian coldly snapped.
"Yes, Mother I remember!"
"Recall it for me again."
Mo Mushan felt uneasy but he didn"t retort against Song Zhilian seeing her angry temper and started recalling the same story that he had concocted, "That...night, I went to look for my father. I apologized to him...and he accepted my apology. After that, we had a chat. Since my father didn"t like the hospital"s smell, he insisted on going for a walk outside to get some air. I conceded to his request and went along with him. He was in a pleasant mood, but then all of sudden, his health didn"t look good so I brought him back to the room. But then his health started worsening. I called Dr. Qian, he immediately transferred father back to the operation theatre, but unfortunately, father didn"t make it out of that room."
"Are you sure this is what all that had happened?" Song Zhilian asked this time, her voice turned extremely cold and hostile.
Uneasiness squeezed his heart, still, Mo Mushan continued with his lie, "Yes, mother. This was all that had happened that night..."
"Slap!"
