Chapter 134 "At such a young age, you should learn to love yourself"
Mu Xingyi looked at him and smiled, then reminded him, "Lu Yan, logically speaking, we are all in the same boat. Wouldn't it be better for us to not interfere with each other and just go about our own business?"
Hearing him say this, the expression on Lu Yan's face became noticeably darker.
He had long been aware of the depth of the entanglement between the interests of the Lu and Jiang families, and had already made a choice in his mind. Now that he had come to this point, he would naturally stick to it.
"He is him, I am me, and I am not the same as you."
A hint of surprise clearly flashed across Mu Xingyi's face, but he was not panicked at all.
"Do you think you'll be safe if he's caught?"
Lu Yan leaned on the interrogation table, crossed his arms, and regained his leisurely state.
"That's not your concern. You just need to provide the evidence you know about the Jiang family's crimes."
Mu Xingyi burst out laughing, "Hahahaha."
"Lu Yan, are you too naive? Or do I look easy to bully? What good will it do me if I offend the Jiang family?"
Lu Yan and Mu Xingyi both knew that with the current strength of the Jiang family, even if Mu Xingyi was sent to jail now, the Jiang family had hundreds of ways to get him out.
But if he really reported the Jiang family, that would be a complete disaster, and he would cut off his own retreat. Only a fool would do that.
After Mu Xingyi had laughed enough, Lu Yan slowly walked up to him again, leaned over and looked straight into his eyes.
"No good, but I bet you still have a shred of conscience."
“Hahahahahahaha, cough, cough——”
Mu Xingyi laughed even louder, shaking his head as he laughed, as if he had heard some huge joke.
"Lu Yan, why don't you bet on something else? My conscience? If I had that kind of thing, would I have ended up like this?"
Lu Yan looked at him becoming increasingly crazy, and a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes.
He stood up straight again, looked down at him, and said with a hint of regret: "You could have been a good doctor, but it's a pity that you went astray."
Mu Xingyi burst into laughter again, but as he laughed he turned to self-mockery.
"A good doctor is useless, only money is useful."
Seeing how crazy he was, Lu Yan became even calmer.
He knew why Mu Xingyi became what he is today, but the truth was too cruel, and Lu Yan didn't know if he could accept it for the time being.
He stared at him in silence for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Maybe it's not that good doctors are useless, but that he happens to be the unlucky good doctor."
…
Mu Xingyi suddenly stopped smiling, and his crazy expression slowly turned into confusion. He looked at him, and clearly heard something from his words.
"Wh…what do you mean?"
Lu Yan looked towards the door, leaving only his back to him. He said in a calm voice, "What happened to your father back then wasn't just an ordinary doctor-patient conflict."
“…”
Mu Xingyi was stunned for a moment. He looked at his back and fell into thought.
Was this Lu Yan's tactic? Why did he know about his father's past? Was this not just a simple doctor-patient conflict? What did this mean? Was there some hidden story behind this incident?
"How... is it possible? You're lying to me, aren't you? I saw with my own eyes the beast's sharp knife pierce his heart."
Lu Yan continued to explain to him slowly: "That's just the appearance. The real mastermind behind this is someone else."
"...who is behind this?"
Mu Xingyi repeated in a low voice in disbelief.
"Yes, this person is Jiang Xueyao."
“——————”
“Jiang Xueyao…?!”
Mu Xingyi felt a chill on his back and his limbs stiffened for a moment, but he quickly reacted and thought that this was just Lu Yan's trick to sow discord.
He raised his head again and stared at his back, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Lu Yan, if you want to make this up, make it more convincing. What's the matter? You want to use this incident to sow discord between me and the Jiang family, so as to achieve your goal? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"
He thought for a moment and continued, "Besides, even if Jiang Xueyao ordered it, what reason did she have to do this? My father has no grudge against her."
Lu Yan had anticipated this situation a long time ago. In fact, when he learned about the incident, he also found it unbelievable. But when it came to Jiang Xueyao, everything seemed to make sense.
The expression on his face became gloomy again, and he said slowly:
"The reason... is just one simple sentence."
Mu Xingyi listened quietly. He felt that Lu Yan seemed to be very serious from beginning to end, and it didn't seem like he was making up an excuse to lie to him.
“One word…?”
"Yes, just one sentence."
Lu Yan turned around and looked at him again, his face showing unquestionable seriousness and affection, but the words he said once again confused Mu Xingyi.
"At such a young age, you should learn to love yourself."
"?"
Mu Xingyi's pupils trembled, but he had not yet fully connected the logical relationship between this sentence and the whole incident, but he clearly smelled the absurdity in it.
"What kind of reason is this?"
At this time, Lu Yan tried to comfort him and explained:
"I also found it unbelievable when I learned about this, but your father did indeed bring about his own death because of this remark."
“…”
Mu Xingyi's face began to become distorted, and his voice began to tremble unconsciously.
"What do you mean? Please explain clearly..."
Lu Yan glanced towards the door and said, "If you want to clarify this matter, there is someone more suitable than me."
Mu Xingyi followed his gaze towards the door, only to see the tightly closed door slowly pushed open, and an old man with gray hair and a cane walked in from outside.
After seeing the old man's full face clearly, Mu Xingyi began to tremble unconsciously.
“Master…”
The old man looked up following the sound and saw Mu Xingyi tied to a chair. His face looked not very good. He looked a little excited, and the muscles on his face were trembling as if he was suppressing his surging emotions.
He walked up to Mu Xingyi with a somewhat staggering step, raised his crutch and hit him.
"You are so confused! Xingyi! There are so many paths in this world, why did you choose this one?"
Mu Xingyi frowned, feeling shy and embarrassed. He looked at Hao Chunliang a little at a loss, full of doubts.
"...Master, was my father...really killed by Jiang Xueyao?"
The old man sighed deeply and shook his head, with a look of deep regret. He said with deep sorrow: "If your father knew that you are working for the Jiang family now, he...he..."
The master didn't say the rest of the words in the end. He just felt that nothing could be more ridiculous than this.
…
The story goes back to Mu Xingyi’s sophomore year.
It was just an ordinary weekend day. Mu Xingyi took the lunch box that his grandmother had made for Mu Feng and went to the city hospital to find him.
Mu Fenglai often has no time to eat because of his busy work, so Mu Xingyi often comes to the hospital to bring him meals.
Mu Xingyi's mother died early, so he usually goes back to his grandparents' house for the weekends.
That day, he went to deliver food to Mu Feng as usual, but witnessed a scene in the hospital corridor that caused him pain for half his life.
