Chapter 141 A pitiful creature no one wants or loves
As soon as Zhou Yue spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Mu. She was laughing, a sorrowful, mocking laugh...
This is her ridiculous life: an illegitimate child, a tool for revenge, and a heartbreaking and complicated love affair. It turns out that no one in this world truly loves her. She shouldn't have been born into this world. She hurt Yan Songyu and Feifei. She was born with original sin.
Yan Songyu's body suddenly stiffened. She didn't dare to turn around and look at Zhou Mu. In fact, she had been trying to ignore Zhou Mu ever since she came in, because she knew that revealing everything today would not only hurt Zhou Yue and Jiang Chengli, but also Zhou Mu.
But she had no choice. Now that things had come to this, she could not give up on revenge, nor could she hurt Feifei again. Feifei was the meaning of her rebirth.
Yan Songyu was still in a daze when Zhou Yue sneered and continued, "You think exposing all of this after getting your daughter back will hurt me?"
"Impossible! I never regret what I do, even if I make a mistake. Do you think I would regret it just because Zhou Mu is my biological daughter? She's just a burden, just the bastard child left behind by an irresponsible man who abandoned me. Why should I love her?"
Snap—
Yan Songyu slapped Zhou Yue hard, then looked at Zhou Mu and said, word by word, "Mu Mu is not an illegitimate child; she just unfortunately ended up in your womb."
Zhou Yue covered her face, a hint of pain flashing in her eyes, before looking up again with a defiant look. "What are you angry about? At this point, is it still necessary to wear that hypocritical mask?"
“I did cause Zhou Mu real harm, but you were also one of the executioners. Besides, you probably hurt her even more deeply than I did, right?”
"After all, she never had any expectations of me, but you, she treated you like her own mother, calling you 'Mom' to me all the time, and even scolding me for your sake, thinking that she was trying to help the Yan family keep their business from falling into the hands of outsiders and to expose my schemes."
"How did you treat her? You gave the child back and watched me coldly as I vented my anger on her, even provoking me and intentionally or unintentionally inflicting more harm on Zhou Mu, just to see me regret it now."
"But you're wrong. I'm not as hypocritical as you, so I'm sorry to disappoint you..."
"Oh, she even pities Feifei, who will become the daughter of this wicked woman like me. She's afraid Feifei will break down, just like in the beginning, so she hasn't exposed her yet. I bet she's been struggling with this for a very, very long time. But who knew, she's the biggest clown of all! Hahahaha~"
She even mocked Zhou Mu, saying, "Zhou Mu, you're such a pathetic wretch that nobody wants or loves you."
Zhou Yue didn't hesitate to use Zhou Mu to retaliate against Yan Songyu. It's true what they say, the one who understands you best is your enemy.
She succeeded. Yan Songyu did feel guilty towards Zhou Mu and felt even more sorry for this girl who had suffered so much. What Zhou Yue said was true.
In her past life, she was the only one atoning for her sins; everything that belonged to her, and everything that did not belong to her, all came to her.
She is the only one suffering in this life, because of Zhou Yue and Yan Songyu; she is the sole victim.
Seeing Yan Songyu's moist eyes, Zhou Yue laughed triumphantly, "Hahaha~ Yan Songyu, you're sad, hahaha~ You're heartbroken for my daughter, a daughter I don't even care about myself, so does it matter whether we switched or not? I still succeeded, hahaha!"
Zhou Yue laughed until she cried. She exaggeratedly wiped away her tears, revealing her manic side.
Yan Songyu was speechless. She was shocked by Zhou Yue's ruthlessness and shamelessness. She subconsciously looked at Zhou Mu. Zhou Yue's words had indeed hit her hard, but Zhou Mu must have been the one who was hurt the most.
Zhou Mu also laughed until she cried, her expression mirroring Zhou Yue's, except she didn't make a sound.
“Every time you lay a hand on me, half the damage ends up on Zhou Mu. I won’t regret it, and I won’t blame myself. I gave Zhou Mu her life, and I can’t do anything wrong to her. What about you, Yan Songyu? Do you regret it?”
Did Zhou Yue return the "regret" question that Yan Songyu had asked her?
Yan Songyu looked at Zhou Mu with teary eyes. She wanted to comfort him and apologize, but Zhou Mu's gaze was as sarcastic as his gaze was towards Zhou Yue, filled with deep sorrow. In the end, Yan Songyu fled from his sight in a disheveled state.
Do you regret it?
No regrets.
Yan Songyu answered the question in her heart. People are all biased, and she also had the selfishness inherent in human nature. She felt guilty but did not regret it. She did not believe that Zhou Yue was indifferent to the fact that she had abused her own daughter for more than 20 years. She did not want to use Zhou Mu to retaliate against her, but rather to make her feel more sorry for Zhou Mu and to treat Zhou Mu better.
She could have easily exposed Zhou Yue and made her break down, but... she had already hurt Zhou Mu enough.
This was perhaps the only way Zhou Yue showed her love for Zhou Mu, but... Zhou Mu could no longer feel it. Since Yan Songyu appeared, Zhou Mu hadn't uttered a single sound in this farce.
“Yan Songyu, you have to bear half of the sins I committed against Zhou Mu, and that will be your ‘merit’!” Zhou Yue shouted again.
Yan Songyu gritted her teeth to keep herself from trembling and did not refute. Although Zhou Yue was the instigator, she was indeed the executioner who added fuel to the fire.
Feifei had completely recovered from her grief and looked helplessly at Zhou Mu, wanting to reach out and pull her along, "Mu Mu..."
Zhou Mu suddenly took a step back, smiling as he looked at Feifei. People really shouldn't covet warmth that doesn't belong to them. Isn't she going to return it all now?
All the people and things that warmed her entire life were like poison disguised as honey; once the poison took hold, it was enough to take her life.
Feifei's hands trembled as she touched Zhou Mu's shoulder, ignoring her struggles and hugging her tightly. "Mu Mu, don't be like this, don't believe her. You're not a pitiful wretch. I love you, I like you, and we promised to be best friends for life!"
Zhou Mu patted Fei Fei's back, trying to get her to let go, but Fei Fei still hugged her tightly.
Seeing this, Han Jie tried to stop Zhou Mu's hand, but Fei Fei shook her head and stopped him.
Until Zhou Mu collapsed into Fei Fei's arms, Fei Fei hugged Zhou Mu and they both fell to the ground, comforting her, "Mom's actions were ill-considered, but her intention was definitely not to hurt you. She wouldn't want to hurt you. You can feel Mom's love for you, right?"
"Of course, I'm not trying to persuade you to forgive your mother. As the beneficiary, I don't have that right."
"But please, don't abandon me. No matter who you blame, we promised to be best friends for life. I'm begging you, please, between the two of us, let's forget the grudges of the previous generation, okay?"
“We are not anyone’s daughters, and we don’t need to carry anyone’s hatred or guilt. I am just Yan Feifei, and you are just Zhou Mu.”
