“Does this mean that Mu Wanrou is the girl who stole your jade 15 years ago?” Qin Zhou voiced out his suspicion .
Yun Shishi nodded as her orbs dulled .
“I heard of Mu Wanrou being reclaimed by the Mu family 15 years ago . Rumors have it that Old Mu once had an adopted daughter he doted on dearly; she"s called Mu Qingcheng . Although she"s not of the Mu bloodline, Old Mu treated her like his own child and treasured her a lot . However, over two decades ago, she conceived a child out of wedlock; Old Mu ordered her to abort the baby to cover up this scandal . Later… Mu Qingcheng disappeared . Old Mu scoured the entire capital to find his beloved daughter, almost turning the entire place upside down, but it was all to no avail . Nonetheless, as long as there were traces of her location, he would search that area for her fervently! Eventually, I heard that…”
His voice suddenly dropped an octave . “Mu Qingcheng was found… but she was already dead . ”
Her heart skipped a beat . “Dead?”
“Mm . Dead via a car accident . It was so horrendous . ” He helplessly shook his head . “Old Mu was devastated by this . From then on, he started searching for the two children Mu Qingcheng had given birth to . ”
Advertis.e.m.e.nt “Mu Qingcheng…” Yun Shishi repeated her name mindlessly . “I only know that my mom"s name is Qin Cheng . ”
“Did your mom not talk to you about your birth?” He popped his doubt .
“No!”
She wiggled her head in defeat . “My mom kept mum about my birth . She only told me that a certain Mu Sheng of the Mu family in the capital is the most ruthless murderer in the world . She reminded me repeatedly never to step foot into the Mu family no matter what . ”
“Mu Sheng?!”
He sprang to his feet in agitation and spoke in a serious tone . “There"s only one Mu family in the capital that has a person called Mu Sheng . That man happens to be the head of this powerful family . Is your mother possibly Mu Qingcheng?!”
“…” She suddenly fell silent .
He resumed speaking after a brief pause . “Perhaps, Mu Wanrou stole your mother"s keepsake, and when Old Mu happened to find her, he brought her to the Mu household as a family member upon recognizing the jade, thinking that she"s the child of Mu Qingcheng . ”
“It probably happened… like that!”
“Doesn"t that mean that you are the actual Young Madam Mu? Mu Yazhe"s actual fiancée?” He raised a handsome brow, thinking that life was really full of surprises .
The current Young Madam Mu was a fake all along!
The actual princess was accidentally left roaming the mortal realm instead .
… This was so dramatic it could be turned into a soap opera .
“I won"t return to the Mu family . I just want her to return the jade to me, the rightful owner of it!” She tilted her face upward and said, “That"s the last memory my mom left behind . Because of that woman"s selfishness, I was treated badly at the welfare center…”
“I think I have a bit of recollection of that place . ” He carefully tracked his thoughts and abruptly palmed his forehead . “The director of that welfare center back then is called Luo Hanjin, right?”
Upon hearing that name, her face froze for a moment and then she instantly paled, just like a white sheet of paper .
She never knew the name of that director, but to her, that man was absolutely a monster – a frightening demon who should be banished into deepest corner of h.e.l.l!
He did not notice the changes in her expression and simply continued his speech . “This Luo Hanjin… Wasn"t he found guilty of committing depraved acts on children a few years ago? This piece of news got entirely blown up, and many children at the welfare center were discovered to have received varying degrees of s.e.xual a.s.saults – simply outrageous . ”
