“You!”
He pointed a finger to his sister, at a loss for words from his rage .
She stared stubbornly at him and pursed her lips in utmost obstinacy . As he looked into her glistening eyes, his heart was ultimately softened .
“Do not talk about this anymore! There"s no point in me saying anything . You"ll figure it out sooner or later!”
He could only comfort himself by hoping that, one day, his sister would give up on Mu Yazhe .
Even among the rich, consanguineous marriage was common .
However, with the Song family coming from a long line of gentlefolks, they seized political power through the barrel of a gun; in particular, during Old Song"s generation, as one of the ten founding fathers of this country, he was a man with notable achievements .
He held great status and sway in the capital .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt Even the Mus had to pay the Songs some respect because of him .
Therefore, if the Songs – following their stringent customs – were to know of this matter, his sister would probably be exiled from the family by Old Song out of anger .
Naturally, he could not just be a bystander as his younger sister walked on the wrong path .
“I don"t understand . I really don"t get it! I thought that Brother Mu loves me the most . I thought that he likes me, too . ” She could not come around to the idea at all .
She was, all along, the person Mu Yazhe cared about the most .
Even if the person was his fiancée, Mu Wanrou, he never showed much care for .
In her eyes, the man treated everyone indifferently and only doted on her dearly .
She thought that there was a special place for her in his heart .
However, what had happened tonight dealt a heavy blow to her .
“He doted on you for a reason; don"t you know that?”
He simply thought that she was beyond help .
“What reason…”
“You look similar to great aunt Jiang . ”
He sat himself in front of her and carefully a.n.a.lyzed her features . “On camera, you both look the same . When great aunt pa.s.sed away, no one could step closer to Uncle Mu except for you simply because your face provided him with much relief . Your similar looks to his mother are precisely why he showers you with love – all for the purpose of easing his longing for her . Simply put, you"re just his mother"s replacement . Do you understand?”
“I look like great aunt?” Her fingers hovered over her face in disbelief .
She thought that her brother"s words were a little uncalled for .
He was rather surprised by her confusion .
“Hasn"t Uncle Mu told you this before?”
He had heard this from their mother .
His sister and great aunt looked extremely alike .
When his mother pa.s.sed away, Mu Yazhe locked himself in his room and refused to step out; he even lost his desire for food and drinks .
The affection he had for his mother far exceeded anyone else in the Mu family .
His beloved kin departing from Earth dealt him a heavy blow .
Back then, Jiang Qimeng brought his sister, Song Enya, along to the Mu residence to attend their great aunt"s funeral .
The young Mu Yazhe then stared at her for the longest time .
Tears trickled down his expressionless face as he held her tightly in his embrace .
He then showered her with love equivalent to his deep yearning for his mother .
She was certainly his spiritual sustenance .
He a.s.sumed that she was aware of this .
Shaking her head in despondence, she replied, “I don"t know . Brother Mu has never mentioned anything about great aunt to me before!”
