On the way home, Song Ci was silent and secretly wiping away tears. Passing by an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Song Ci thought of something and quickly said to Long Yu, "Brother Long, pull over."
Hearing this, Long Yu hurriedly stopped the car.
Han Zhan asked Song Ci: "What are you going to do?"
Song Ci took her wallet out of her handbag and said, "I remembered that my mother gave me a card as a dowry on my wedding day. I'll go check it out."
"I'll accompany you."
The two came to the ATM, Song Ci inserted the card, entered the password, and chose to check the balance.
.00.
One hundred and eighty million.
Song Ci stared blankly at the long row of numbers, and then remembered something.
She vaguely remembered that at her 20th birthday party, someone asked Du Tingting with a smile, since she had such a beautiful and outstanding daughter, how much dowry would she prepare for her daughter when she got married.
At the time, Du Tingting said: "I love both daughters equally and will give each of them 18.88 million. Even if their marriages are unhappy in the future, they will have dowries and can divorce if they want, without having to worry about having no way out."
Du Tingting was just an idle noblewoman, so no one would be surprised if she could give 18.88 million as a dowry to her own daughter. But Song Ci was just an adopted daughter, and they didn't believe Du Tingting would be so generous to her adopted daughter.
So when they heard this, everyone just laughed it off. Even Song Ci himself didn't take it seriously.
In her previous life, when Song Ci married Cheng Ziang, Chaoyang Company was facing financial difficulties, and Du Tingting gave all her savings to Mu Mian. Therefore, when Song Ci got married, Du Tingting only gave her a dowry of two million.
In this life, when Song Ci got married, the Mu family hadn't yet fallen into financial crisis, and Du Tingting still kept her small treasury. Even though Song Ci was marrying an "ordinary man," Du Tingting still gave her 18.88 million!
It was not for the sake of saving face, nor to curry favor with Song Ci's in-laws, but only so that Song Ci could be more confident in her actions and words in her future married life.
Every word Du Tingting said to Song Ci came from the heart. As Song Ci stared at the numbers, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hands and burst into tears in front of the ATM...
Han Zhan hadn't expected that there would be so much money in the bank card Du Tingting had prepared for Song Ci as a dowry. He was a little surprised, but at the same time, he also had a little more respect for Du Tingting.
-
Du Tingting's heart merged into Mu Qiu's body and adapted very well to this new body, without any obvious rejection reaction. Du Tingting loved her daughter so much, how could she bear to let Mu Qiu suffer?
After staying in the ICU for a few days, Mu Qiu was finally allowed to be sent to the general ward.
Lying on the bed, Mu Qiu quietly felt the power of the beating heart in his chest. Thinking that this was originally his mother's heart, Mu Qiu did not feel any joy of surviving the disaster.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of Du Tingting's heart, but Mu Qiu couldn't help but reflect on the foolish things he had done recently. The more he thought about it, the more he despised his sinister and cruel self.
How could she be so vicious?
How could she plot to murder her mother's unborn child for her own life? She even nearly killed her mother!
How could she draw her knife against Song Ci and almost kill her just because of jealousy and unwillingness?
Because she was afraid of death and wanted to live, how could she be so cruel as to hint to her father countless times to murder Song Fei?
The more Mu Qiu thought about it, the more disappointed he became with himself.
If my mother knew my true self, she would probably be disappointed in her.
Knock knock——
Hearing the knock on the door, Mu Qiu stopped thinking and turned to look at the ward door.
Mu Qiu was surprised to see that the person who came was Aunt Zhang, carrying a lot of bags. Mu Qiu thought that Aunt Zhang had resigned and found another job after the Mu family incident. Suddenly seeing Aunt Zhang, Mu Qiu felt a sense of familiarity, and his eyes were a little sore.
"Aunt Zhang, you haven't left yet?"
Mu Qiu had read on the news that Chaoyang's management had been in a state of turmoil recently. Chairman Mu Mian had been arrested for a crime, severely damaging the positive image the company had built over many years. Coupled with the company's stock plummeting, the board of directors held a meeting and unanimously agreed to expel Mu Mian from the board.
My mother was dead, my father was detained, and the Mu family was no longer the same. What was Aunt Zhang still doing at home? What was she trying to achieve?
"Miss." Aunt Zhang put the things down. She held Mu Qiu's bony fingers, feeling distressed. "Miss, I will stay and take care of you, okay?"
Mu Qiu smiled bitterly, "Aunt Zhang, you don't have to be like this. My mother is dead, and my father has several lives on his shoulders. I'm afraid he will be sentenced to death..."
"This home is gone, why are you still staying here?" Mu Qiu said, his eyes red. But perhaps because he had shed too many tears that night, no matter how sad he was now, he couldn't shed a tear.
Aunt Zhang didn't know that Mu Qiu was not innocent in the murder of Song Fei, and she was also a participant behind the scenes. In Aunt Zhang's eyes, Mu Qiu was just a sick and pitiful little girl who had just lost her mother.
She had been in the Mu family for over ten years, and Mu Qiu could be said to be the child she had watched over and raised. Now that Mu Qiu had just undergone surgery and had no one to look after him, how could Aunt Zhang bear to abandon Mu Qiu at this time?
"I'm worried about you being alone in the hospital. I'll stay and take care of you. I'll look for another job after you're discharged." Aunt Zhang couldn't bear to leave like this.
