Chapter 143 Why should she bear all the suffering alone?

Zhou Mu had no idea that they were frantically looking for her. She took a taxi to the South District and then took another path to a dilapidated wooden house by the river.

When she was little, she was terrified of being beaten by Zhou Yue and would always hide here. After becoming friends with Feifei, the music room became their secret base. It had heating in winter and air conditioning in summer, and her good friend was there. She spent most of her time living in the music room, and gradually, she stopped coming here.

Now, she can't find anywhere else to go but here.

Zhou Yue's place was not her home, nor was the Yan family's house. The rented house could not be called a home either, and the music room... the music room was long gone.

Zhou Mu crawled under the table in the corner and sat down. The messy wooden boards and other odds and ends piled around the table conveniently concealed her.

The pain and confusion she once felt surged back into her heart. It seemed that heaven had never been kind to her... Why? What heinous crime had she committed in her past life that she had to suffer like this in this one?

She didn't understand Li Shuwei before, but now she does. It seems that a person's hope can be lost in an instant. Everything she had insisted on has become meaningless. Should she still struggle to live on?

Yan Songyu contacted the hospital to check the surveillance footage, but only found that Zhou Mu got into a taxi. After several transfers, she learned that Zhou Mu got out of the taxi at an intersection and then disappeared.

Feifei cried anxiously as she searched, "What should I do? Where could Mumu have gone?"

Looking at the intersection, Zhou Yue calmed down. She carefully examined the map of the area, then turned and ran out.

Yan Songyu glanced at the stunned Feifei and said, "Follow them!"

She could only hold onto a sliver of hope now. After all, Zhou Mu had lived with her for so long; perhaps he knew something they didn't?

The weather in June is unpredictable. As soon as they got into the car, it started to rain heavily. The rain made it difficult for the vehicle to move. When they finally reached the intersection where Zhou Mu was supposed to get off, Zhou Yue rushed into the rain without saying a word.

"Dad, don't go down in the rain, I'm going to find Mumu!" Yan Songyu instructed.

Yan Binghua is already quite old; getting caught in such rain would be more likely to result in a cold.

"Okay, don't worry about me, you guys go ahead." Yan Binghua knew he would be a hindrance to them, so he didn't insist. "You guys be careful too!"

Feng Yu and Han Jie escorted Yan Songyu and Feifei in pursuit of the direction Zhou Yue had disappeared in. Their umbrellas were blown inside out by the strong wind as soon as they got out of the car, so they simply threw them away.

Zhou Yue quickly arrived at the cabin. The dilapidated cabin, exposed to wind, sun and rain, was no match for the storm.

As soon as she opened the door, she found that the situation inside was not much better than outside. Rain was pouring in from the roof, and the drafty cabin was in imminent danger of collapsing under the onslaught of the wind.

"Mumu? You're inside, right? Mom knows you're here," Zhou Yue asked tentatively.

Zhou Mu didn't react when he heard Zhou Yue's voice. He just shrank into the corner, hugging his legs tightly and burying his head.

Zhou Yue walked around a pile of messy clutter and, sure enough, saw Zhou Mu's figure under the dilapidated table.

"Mumu!" Zhou Yue looked at Zhou Mu with surprise and joy, overwhelmed with happiness at having regained what she had lost. She was so afraid that Zhou Mu might do something rash!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everything I said today was a lie. I did care about you, you're my daughter, how could I not love you?"

"I did have a reason for wanting revenge when I switched women, but it was also because I thought you could live a good life that I made up my mind."

“I won’t deny everything that happened in the past. I did cause you unforgivable harm because of hatred. But what I said later today was not what I really meant. I regret it. I regret hurting you. I only said those things to make Yan Songyu treat you better. I can tell she cares about you.”

"Although she is hypocritical and likes to pretend to be kind, it has to be said that her personality is advantageous to us. The more guilty she feels, the better she will treat you in the future."

"I don't expect her to let me off the hook, but she definitely won't do anything to you. She'll just try to make amends. Mom just wants to do one last thing for you."

Zhou Yue knelt in the wet mud and reached out to pull Zhou Mu up. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mom was wrong. I know you won't forgive me, and I have no face to beg for your forgiveness, but it's all my fault. You're still young, and your future is bright. Please don't hurt yourself anymore."

Zhou Mu slowly raised her head, her empty eyes fixed on Zhou Yue. She couldn't understand why she had lied to her. She hadn't felt even a sliver of love or consideration from Zhou Yue. Was she trying to squeeze every last drop of value out of her... to annoy Yan Songyu? Or was she trying to say that she hadn't completely lost?

Yan Songyu, Feifei, and the others stumbled and waded through the mud, finally finding the small wooden house.

Feifei burst into tears as soon as she saw Zhou Mu under the table, "Mu Mu, you scared me to death! Waaah~"

Zhou Mu's listless gaze swept over the people who came over. They were all in a sorry state. She had never seen Yan Songyu and Feifei covered in mud like this before. They were born princesses in a castle, and nobility and elegance were their only characteristics.

Are they doing this because they care about her? She's clearly the daughter of their enemy, isn't she?

Yan Songyu clearly used her from the beginning as a tool to get revenge on Zhou Yue. Did he regret it later? Did he feel sorry for her? So he treated her well?

No, Yan Songyu's attitude really changed after she saved Feifei. Before that, Yan Songyu only treated her as Feifei's ordinary friend, so perhaps there was some gratitude?

But no matter how much she regretted, felt guilty, or was grateful, didn't she still wait until this moment to deliver a fatal blow to Zhou Yue? And she delivered a fatal blow to her...

As the two stared at each other, the creaking of the wooden house suddenly grew louder and louder. Feng Yu looked over warily and said, "This is bad, the house can't hold on any longer, let's get out of here!"

Feng Yu and Han Jie each pulled Yan Songyu and Feifei away, while Zhou Yue also tried to pull Zhou Mu out, calling out, "Mu Mu, come out quickly!"

Seeing Zhou Yue's anxious expression, Zhou Mu suddenly began to struggle. She thought that dying like this wouldn't be so bad, and she didn't want to persist anymore.

Moreover, now that she's dead, Zhou Yue, Yan Songyu, and even Feifei will never forget her. They'll feel guilty for the rest of their lives, and she'll haunt their dreams every night. Why should she bear all the suffering alone? Why? What did she do wrong?

She's going to drag them all down to hell! She's going to make sure everyone suffers day and night!

They are kind, aren't they? Never forget their kindness!

Thinking this, she struggled even harder, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

"Mumu, come out quickly!" When Feifei was pulled out, she saw her smile and a very bad premonition rose in her heart.

goodbye!

Feifei read Zhou Mu's lips.

"No! Twilight!"
