Doctor Xue was having a hard time. He was really unlucky to have to deal with such a difficult patient. He was just a doctor but was forced to take on such a big challenge. "Does anyone know what I"m going through?"
Doctor Xue forced a smile and suggested, "Sir, I can understand what you"re going through, but I suggest we discuss this after you take a breather. Or would you mind following me to the Chief"s office? After all, I"m just a doctor, I"m not in the position to decide anything."
Gong Yu took one more look at the peacefully-sleeping Yun Muxi and followed Doctor Xue.
Gong Yu"s heart ached for her, he was determined to not let her sacrifice go to vain.
The ward"s door was opened once again and a man with a cold aura came walking in. He walked to Yun Muxi"s bed directly and sat down at the front.
After some time, Yun Muxi started to wake up. She felt pain everywhere. When she gradually opened her sleepy eyes, she found a silver-haired man sitting on her bed, staring at her. She got a shock and naturally moved backward immediately.
However, she was unsuccessful in escaping. Her movement affected her wound and she curled up in pain. Her forehead was covered with sweat and her face was terribly pale.
Yun Muxi bit onto her lower lip tightly and shrunk into a ball. After quite some time, the pain finally went away. She slowly looked up at the stranger. Her frightened eyes were filled with the man"s reflection and a faint light was reflected onto her eyes. Her fringe was covered in sweat and stuck onto her forehead.
The man stretched out his long and slender fingers, gently caressing her fringe. He asked in a relaxed voice, "You seem to be afraid of me?"
Yun Muxi tried her ultimate best to remain calm. She asked, "Who are you?"
There was a tint of longing in the man"s gaze, which sent shivers down Yun Muxi"s spine.
At this moment, Gong Yu opened the door. Seeing a man sitting on Yun Muxi"s bed and her frightened expression, Gong Yu tensed up immediately. He asked sternly, "Who are you?"
The man turned and glanced at him. He could not help but chuckle. His laughter sounded very sinister. It was the sound that a grim reaper would make before taking one"s life away. It made people shiver in fear.
The man chuckled a bit and said naturally, "Seems like you two do have some chemistry!" Then, he turned towards Yun Muxi and asked, "Is he your lover?"
Gong Yu went up to him and lifted him up by the collar. He roared at him, "Who the h.e.l.l are you?"
Suddenly, Ding Sisi"s words rang in his ear again. "Haha, Gong Yu, he is someone that you cannot mess around with. You can"t even touch him in your lifetime! Just give up, Yun Muxi is ruined. Haha... that b.i.t.c.h is completely ruined this time..."
Gong Yu started to feel a little uneasy and his glare was filled with hostility.
The man frowned. He had an ice-cold vibe that reminded one of darkness and loneliness. He pulled Gong Yu"s fingers away and gently tidied his clothes. "I will not make you pay for the price of your rude behavior, seeing that you may become my brother-in-law. But there won"t be a next time!"
Gong Yu and Yun Muxi looked at the man in shock. They asked in unison, "Brother-in-law?"
The man sat down and continued to look at Yun Muxi"s beautiful face. He gently caressed her fringe, treating it like a jewel. The tint of longing returned to his gaze. He started to talk to himself, "Alike! Very much alike! It"s like they were carved out of the same mold!"
The man seemed to have softened his tone as much as possible. However, his voice was still chilling and frightening. His gaze made Yun Muxi feel extremely uncomfortable and she was very fearful of this man. He looked at her as if she was a very sumptuous meal. She was unable to see any good happening out of this.
Yun Muxi could not help but dodge aside. The man was unhappy. "What"s with that expression? Am I a scourge?"
Yun Muxi wanted to cry out, "Yes! Even worse than that!"
Gong Yu warned, "You! Do not touch her!"
The man completely ignored Gong Yu and continued talking, "I"m always forgetting to introduce myself! I am Murong Ye, your biological older brother."
Gong Yu frowned. "I think you"re mistaken. Her father"s surname is Yun and her parents have pa.s.sed. Where does the older brother fit in?"
Yun Muxi was shocked and quickly studied Murong Ye from head to toe. She was too busy being scared of this man that she completely forgot about it.
Murong Ye was tall and had a well-built figure. His dark blue handmade plaid suit complemented his figure really well.
His grey hair represented a desolation from the outside world. His phoenix eyes were filled with a cold and sorrowful gaze that could not be ignored. His brows were thick and straight, he had a tall nose, and his thin lips were of a pale pink color. His cheeks were bright and his jawline was very sharp. He had a arrogant natural aura that made him feel like a king. n.o.body could miss his domineering aura and it was a better idea to listen to him.
After careful observations, Murong Ye and Yun Muxi"s features were very similar, other than their brows. He was more masculine. Their auras were vastly different too, which was the main reason why people would not realize how similar they looked.
After studying him carefully, Yun Muxi finally realized how much they looked alike. She trusted his words more and started thinking deeply. What exactly was their story?
Without waiting for Yun Muxi to ask, Murong Ye took out a piece of paper and handed it to her. Although she was beginning to trust his words, she still received the shock of her life when she read it. Her mind went blank.
It was a DNA report which clearly stated their similarity was 99%. Their relationship was already made clear.
Gong Yu narrowed his eyes at the two of them and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xi?"
Yun Muxi lowered his eyes and explained calmly, "I was indeed not born of my parents. Before my dad pa.s.sed, he gave me a letter. It said that they were not my biological parents. They grew up together in an orphanage and then medical school and finally as surgeons. Once, they found an abandoned baby in a corridor in the hospital. Since they grew up as orphans, they did not wish to see an innocent child grow up in a cold and dark orphanage instead of a warm family. Hence, they decided to adopt the child and raise her up like their own. I am the child."
Murong Ye ignored Gong Yu and treated him like he was non-existent. He looked at Yun Muxi and continued, "Back then, mom was being chased by enemies when she suddenly had to give birth. She was brought to the hospital immediately and gave birth to you. However, she was worried that you would get into trouble too, so she left you in the hospital. Soon after, the enemies found her and she died on that day. Dad only found out about all these after investigations. But with limited clues, he was unable to find out where you were. Not long ago, there was a car accident and I saw that you looked exactly like our mother. I got my men to investigate but they screwed up, causing other things to get in the way. I started investigating recently again."
After Murong Ye explained the whole story, it seemed much clearer. Yun Muxi, however, was quiet. She said quietly, "Can I see how she looks like?"
Murong Ye took out his purse and handed her a photo.
It was a group picture. There was a beautiful young lady carrying a boy that looked around five years old. A man stood behind her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. He had the same eyes as Murong Ye and had a domineering aura too. It was a sweet picture filled with love.
Murong Ye continued, "Mom"s name is Liu Ruoyan, dad"s name is Murong Qingtian. After mom died, dad did not re-marry. He kept on looking for you. We have three uncles and two aunts. Other than me, you have eight other cousins. The Murong family is a big family."
Yun Muxi took a deeper look at the picture and handed it back to him. There was no change in her facial expression. She said calmly, "You don"t have to tell me all these. I don"t intend to go back to the Murong family. They have nothing to do with me."
Murong Ye could not believe his ears. "What? You don"t want to go back?"
"Yes, I never thought of finding my biological parents, no matter how rich or poor they are. I only have one pair of parents, Yun Zhiqiang and Li Yunxi. I just want to continue living my life peacefully."
"But you"re not! If you were, I wouldn"t force you to go back. But your life is a mess right now! I can"t change the fact that I was unaware of this in the past, but I won"t let this continue."
"I don"t think you have any rights over the way I live my life. Besides, I don"t think my life is a mess!"
Murong Ye"s cold aura was unleashed again and this time, it was even more overbearing. Yun Muxi could feel his outbreak of hostility too. Other than his father, there was no one that dared to go against his words. Yun Muxi was provoking the tiger, yet she had no idea.
Gong Yu could feel the change in her emotions and said coldly, "Come on, let"s talk outside. Xiao Xi needs to rest."
Murong Ye threw him a very disdain glance. In his eyes, Gong Yu was like an ant. He could easily run him over.
Gong Ye was p.i.s.sed at the way he was treated. If Murong Ye was not Yun Muxi"s brother, he would not have treated him so well.
The two men stared at each other and there was a heavy thunderstorm between their glares. Neither of them was going to back down.
Yun Muxi frowned lightly and cried, "Stop it, the two of you! Gong Yu, you"re in no position to meddle with my life. Murong Ye, same with you. You can"t decide on my future. I just want to live my own life."
Murong Ye softened his gaze and spoke in a cold voice. "I"m afraid... that"s not up to you..."
