“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!”
