Chapter 569: Why Did My Mother Die Instead Of You?
Yin Shuiling boarded the car, and Uncle Tu asked her, “Miss Yin, where are we headed?”
Yin Shuiling looked outside the window and said, “Let’s go back to school.”
…
Yin Muchen was out on a business trip for three days. Yin Shuiling ate as she was supposed to and slept as she was supposed to, and she was very quiet.
This day, she was in school. A cla.s.smate ran over to ask her, “Yin Shuiling, the date for your exchange period is coming up soon. Did you already submit your application?”
“Yeah,” Yin Shuiling nodded her head and said, “I submitted it already.”
She went to the teacher’s room in school.
At this moment, Yin Muchen returned to T City. He was in the main lounge of the airport dressed in a black s.h.i.+rt. He wore a grey round collar thin sweater on the outside with slim cut dark trousers on the bottom, and it made his entire being look tall and lanky.
Hu Ya came to pick him up and said, “President, you are back already?”
“Yeah.” Yin Muchen nodded his head, and he handed the doc.u.ment bag and coat in his hands over to Hu Ya. He held a small purple box in his hands and started to walk towards the main doors of the airport. “While I was not around, what did she do?”
Hu Ya followed him out the main doors, and he politely replied, “Miss Yin went to the prison to visit Yin De. After that, she stayed in school for the entire time. She did not behave abnormally, but President…”
Yin Muchen glanced at him and said, “What’s wrong?”
“Just now, the director of education gave us a call. Miss Yin has already submitted her application to return to England, and she is going back to England in two days.”
Yin Muchen’s facial expression was normal. He only raised his eyebrows up slightly. He walked to the side of the Rolls Royce and opened the driver’s seat door. “I got it already.”
“President…” Hu Ya called him quickly and said with concern, “You just came back. You look very exhausted. Let me drive — you can rest for a while.”
Yin Muchen shook his head and said, “There is no need for that. I will drive the car myself.”
He boarded the car and placed the small purple velvet box on the front pa.s.senger seat before he drove off into the distance.
…
Inside the Rolls Royce
There was a gap in the window of the car. The autumn breeze blew gently as it ruffled through the man’s short hair above his forehead. His extremely defined features were half steeped in the quiet cabin, and half of his face was hidden under the bright suns.h.i.+ne streaming from outside, making him look extremely handsome.
He placed two large palms on the steering wheel. He switched the headlights on, made a turn, then accelerated… All of his actions were all smooth and experienced. He was a 31 year old man, and it was the experience and expertise that the years had given to him.
There was a hint of fatigue on the man’s exquisite face that was hard to hide along with a touch of blood vessels in his eyes.
He was indeed a little tired.
He turned his gaze sideways to look at the small purple velvet box lying quietly in the front pa.s.senger seat. He slowly curled the corners of his lips, and there was a warmth lovingly seeping out of his face.
The thing that she wanted, he got it back for her.
At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang out in the air. He received a call.
It was Liu Wanxin.
He pressed the key and answered the call. “h.e.l.lo, Mum…”
“h.e.l.lo, Ah Chen. I heard Secretary Hu say that you were out on a business trip. Did you come back today?”
“Yeah, I’m back now, Mum. Is there something that you need me to handle?”
Liu Wanxin broke out into benolevent laughter as she said, “Mum doesn’t have much going on; you don’t have to be nervous. But Ah Chen, your 32nd birthday is in two days. You should come home that night. Mum will celebrate your birthday with you.”
Was his birthday in two days?
Yin Muchen pondered for a moment, and realized that it was really so, he forgot about it entirely.
Was it solely just to go back home to celebrate his birthday with his mother that night?
He recalled the candlelight dinner that he cancelled a few nights ago. She was already treating him extremely coldly.
Furthermore, she was not by his side throughout these three years, and he wanted to spend his 32nd birthday with her this time.
“Mum, I…” Yin Muchen was in a bad spot; he did not know how to reject his mother.
His mother was his only kin on this earth now. Mum was blind, her legs were disabled, her world was without any colour now, and her daily activity probably was limited to Xiao Qing pus.h.i.+ng the wheelchair for a round outside; he was the only reason his mother was pus.h.i.+ng on to live on.
Theoretically speaking, he should be celebrating his birthday with his mother.
But, she had already come back…
A mother and son were connected with their hearts. The moment Liu Wanxin heard his tone, she knew what he was thinking inside his heart. Liu Wanxin let out a heavy sigh, and her tone was both painful and disappointed as she said, “Fine, fine, fine. Since you do not want to spend your birthday with Mum, then Mum will not be troublesome. You should spend it with that Yin Shuiling then.”
“Mum, I am sorry…” Yin Muchen felt that his words were very weak. “Mum, I want to spend it with her at night, but in the morning, I want to eat the noodles that Mum prepares by hand.”
Liu Wanxin was comforted and smiled, but her tone was still displeased as she said, “What noodles do you want to eat? Does Mum have to make noodles just because you want to have them? Stop using these words to make me feel happy.”
Liu Wanxin hung up immediately.
Hearing the busy tone that was ringing out from the other end, Yin Muchen grinned.
He pressed the b.u.t.ton and dialed the girl’s number.
…
At this moment, Yin Shuiling had just come out from the teacher’s room. She was walking along the corridor, and when her phone rang, she took her phone out to have a look; it was Yin Muchen.
She took the call and said, “h.e.l.lo…”
“h.e.l.lo, Shui Ling,” The man’s deep and charming voice rang out in her ears and sounded extremely mesmerizing and pleasant to the ear. He seemed to be in a good mood. He lowered his volume to ask her, “Did you miss me?”
Yin Shuiling’s face was very cold, and she did not reply to him.
Yin Muchen’s eyes had a touch of darkness in them, but he broke out into a smile very quickly as he said, “If you do not reply to me, I will treat it as a silent admission that you missed me, right…”
“Yin Muchen.” Yin Shuiling interrupted him immediately as she said, “Can you let go of my father already?”
The moment she spoke, Yin Muchen fell silent immediately, and the atmosphere became very tense.
Yin De was the forbidden zone that could not be brought up inside his heart.
She had her own pain, and her family was entirely destroyed when she was 18 years old. At the same time, he had troubles of his own, and his family was also destroyed when he was 18 years old.
His father was innocent and lead a simple life, but he was unable the shoulder the accusation of being a thief at the end of his life as he jumped down from the top floor. His mother was taken captive by Yin De for 10 whole years, and he had to survive under extreme conditions under the surveillance of both Yin De and s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing.
She was innocent, and at the same time, he was also innocent.
The things that he shouldered were even more than what she had, and he was way more pitiful than her.
“Yin Muchen, I saw some doc.u.ments. Even if my father really took the differences in company taxes, this crime is not enough for him to go to jail for his entire life. My father should be released after at most six to seven years in jail. I know that it is your plan, but you want to let my father die in prison? Yin Muchen, I am begging you now, can you let go of my father?”
Yin Muchen’s thin lips were pursed together so tight that they were all white, and he still did not say anything.
“Yin Muchen, let go of my father. If you are willing to let go of my father, I would be entirely willing to be together with you… I will not marry for my entire life. I will be together with you, I will serve you well, and I will exchange my freedom for my father’s, okay?”
“I don’t agree.” Yin Muchen started to speak. His rejection was both crisp and clear-cut.
Yin Shuiling’s small face was pale; she just knew that it would turn out this way.
“Hah, haha..” Yin Shuiling laughed for a moment, and she continued to speak. One word at a time, she said, “Yin Muchen, I really hate you so so much. Why did I have to get to know you when I was only 8 years old? You treat me like this. What kind of capabilities do you have to be asking me if I missed you or not? Let me tell you: I thought about you, and I want you to go and die immediately. Why did my mother have to die instead of you?”
The man on the other end’s breathing became heavy, and Yin Shuiling felt her face go wet. The tears began to trickle down. She covered her mouth with one hand and did not allow herself to sob out loud. Because she was in pain, she wanted him to feel the same amount of pain also.
“Yin Muchen, do you like me or not? Do you want to get your hands on me? There is no chance anymore. Even if you are able to get my body, you will never be able to get my heart. I will be going back to England in two days. I want to disappear completely in your world!
“You can continue looking for those body doubles then. You can hug them and spend the rest of your life with them. My distance will be your punishment. I want you to spend your entire life alone!”
Yin Shuiling hung up immediately.
The moment the girl’s sharp growls stopped, Yin Muchen’s entire world regained its silence. A few seconds later, he felt a moisture below his nostrils. He lifted his right hand that he used to wear his luxury wrist.w.a.tch to touch it, and his hand was covered in blood.
He was having a nosebleed.
His handsome face did not have an expression on it. He took a few tissues out to wipe his nose messily. He threw the bloodied tissue b.a.l.l.s below the seat.
The girl’s voice was still ringing clearly in his ears. She said that she wanted him to die. She asked him why her mother died instead of him…
She said that she would not allow him to get her, she wanted him to spend the rest of his life alone…
Yin Muchen’s handsome face had a cold expression, but he mocked himself even more. He was even more helpless. He slowly curled the corners of his lips up and forced a deep laughter from his throat.
He still could remember the past. Those times in the past, in the past, she would stand on the lawn as she shook her small b.u.t.t to sing “Two Tigers” for him. In the past, she would close herself to the entire world to miss him for seven whole years. In the past, her small face would be crimson red as she lay down below him to allow him to bully her…
Yin Muchen felt as if there was a large hole in his heart. The cold air gushed towards his bones, and it was cold and painful.
How did both him and her come to this stage now?
Was it because of Yin De?
He would never ever let Yin De go, and there was no room for discussion for this issue.
As long as he was alive, Yin De should not ever think of getting out of prison.
This matter did not have anything to do with loving her; this was his bottom line in his life.
Then would they never be together with one another?
Yin Muchen cast his gaze sideways. He stretched his right arm out to firmly grab the small purple velvet box in the centre of his palm. This was the farm that she wanted; he’d bought it already.
The farm was not so easily sold off. The government had regulations. He was not confident just sending Hu Ya over and the next morning. He took a plane to personally fly over there.
The farm there had a price but no market. The negotiations were going on very unsuccessfully. He’d spent three days there, and he had only a few hours of sleep throughout the trip.
He also felt exhausted.
Yin Muchen held the small box in his hands. There was a sudden wave of hope inside his heart once again. If he gave the box to her and coaxed her once more, would she not be angry anymore?
Oh right— she said that she was going back to England in two days.
He would not allow her to leave.
Thinking about this, Yin Muchen stepped on the accelerator and wanted to go to school to look for her.
He had just stepped down on the accelerator, and the sound of loud horns rang out from outside the window. He did not look at the traffic lights, and it was a red light at the moment, but the Rolls Royce dashed out into the distance like an arrow.
Bang! He crashed onto the large truck that was making a turn.
…
Inside the hospital
The red lights of the operating theatre were all switched on, and the red glow coming from the lights was piercing as it made Hu Ya’s eyes hurt.
At this moment, Liu Caizhe dashed over and said, “Hu Ya, what is wrong with Muchen?”
Hu Ya saw Liu Caizhe and stood up immediately. In the past half a year, Liu Caizhe had been busy with the gold mining projects in South East Asia, and this project was done in compet.i.tion with the gold mining mogul President Mu, so Liu Caizhe had to be in charge of it personally.
