Chapter 203 I'm just using you to kill someone
Lin Yan originally wanted to treat her to a meal.
But it is inconvenient to go out because of my injuries.
I can only meet her at home.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang.
Lin Yan straightened her back almost instantly.
I don't know why, but I'm really looking forward to seeing her.
The door opened and Lin Yan's eyes fell on her.
The woman was dressed simply, in a gray T-shirt and washed jeans, the hems of her pants just reaching the edge of her slightly worn white sneakers.
His body looked very thin, like a dead leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any moment.
The baseball cap on his head was pulled down low, and his face was covered by a large black mask, revealing only a pair of gray eyes.
Lin Yan stood up despite her discomfort and nodded slightly at her.
The woman didn't rush to speak. She stood at the door and looked at her for a while, then changed her shoes and walked towards her.
"Hello, Lin Yan."
The woman stopped in front of her, bringing with her a faint scent like that of soapberries.
Lin Yan smiled back at her: "Hello."
"I'm Mo Xue. We... finally meet."
Xing Yu poured two glasses of water and placed them on the coffee table in the living room. He said to them, "You guys chat, I'll go back to my room first."
The living room was very quiet. Mo Xue sat on the sofa. Lin Yan noticed her restraint.
I was actually quite surprised. After all, she always gave Lin Yan a feeling of being decisive and efficient on the phone.
I didn't expect to see such a contrast when I met the real person.
Lin Yan sat next to her: "I'm sorry that you came to me on your own initiative. You've helped me so much, I should treat you to a meal."
Mo Xue's voice was even, "You're welcome. I told you, helping you is actually helping myself."
"Help yourself?" Lin Yan was curious: "Why do you say that?"
Mo Xue was silent, her fingertips unconsciously stroking her knees. After a long time, she raised her eyes and looked back at her quietly.
"Because... I hate Shu Lun too, and I hate Shu En even more."
Lin Yan was stunned.
Looking at her empty eyes, my thoughts wandered a little.
But he was quickly pulled back by her calm voice.
"Because I'm just like you."
Lin Yan was bewildered: "Same as me?"
Mo Xue said, "Actually, my real name isn't Mo Xue, but you must be familiar with my original name."
"What was your original name?"
The woman looked directly into her eyes: "Mo Jiaozi."
Lin Yan felt as if her head was split open by a blunt object, and she was completely stunned.
"Mo Jiaozi?!"
Mo Xue seemed to take a breath, and the mask moved slightly with her breathing.
"Lin Yan, don't be scared by my appearance..."
Before Lin Yan could recover from the previous conversation, Mo Xue had already raised her hand to take off her hat and mask.
My eyes dilated unconsciously, and my heart felt like it was being pulled by something, causing a dull pain.
Mo Xue's shocking appearance was reflected in his pupils.
Under the light, one could see that there was no hair on the right side of her scalp, with a large bald spot and a burn-like scar on the edge of the skin.
Her face, from her cheekbones to her jaw, had several raised scars like solidified ravines or centipedes, crawling across her face.
Especially shocking...
"Did you get scared?" Mo Xue smiled bitterly, her face stiff due to the scars. "I haven't dared to look in the mirror these past few years... I always feel like I'm ugly..."
Lin Yan's throat tightened. Looking at the scars on her face and head, she seemed to have thought of something.
"Your injury...was caused by Shu En?"
There was no emotion in Mo Xue's eyes: "Yeah."
"What happened? Why are you called Mo Jiaozi?"
Mo Xue was very calm, as if she was telling someone else's story.
"Lin Yan, she and I were in the same class in junior high school... Shu En was crazy... At first, she would just tear up my textbooks, then push and hit me. Later, she would use scissors to cut my face and back... Can you believe that a 14 or 15-year-old junior high student could be so cruel?"
"I cried many times, broke down many times... I asked for help countless times, but no one came to my aid... My parents were even threatened again and again by Shulun... A family so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary became as small as a grain of dust in the face of power..."
"Because of me, my dad lost his job and his livelihood. The doorway to our house in the alley was sprayed with paint and splashed with feces... My dad refused to reconcile and was beaten by the Shulun people... My mom went to school to make a scene, and in return, I was expelled..."
"Time and again, they were disappointed... My mother, wanting to accuse Shu Lun and make a big deal out of it, jumped from the three-story school building... But her death didn't elicit an apology from the Shu family... Instead, Shu Lun intensified his brutality..."
"I remember it was the fifth day after I was expelled from school, and also the third day after my mother's death... In the early hours of the night, my father and I were asleep... A fire broke out in the house for no apparent reason, and I was burned by the flames... The pain suddenly woke me up, and I instinctively rushed out... When I reached the door, I remembered that my father was still inside..."
"When I was about to go back, the house in front of me collapsed instantly... At that moment, I opened my mouth but couldn't scream, only tears kept falling."
"I heard the sound of footsteps outside the alley, and I quickly hid. In the darkness, I saw that it was Shulun's men... I knew he wanted to kill my whole family to eliminate any future troubles..."
"That summer... I was only fifteen. My parents were gone, my home was gone, and my youth, which hadn't even begun yet, was burned away by that fire..."
Lin Yan's throat felt dry and astringent, as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper.
Listening to Mo Xue lightly talking about the sad things in her heart, my heart felt a dense pain.
"Then why did you say your name is Mo Jiaozi?"
Mo Xue: "After the fire, Shu Lun thought I was dead... My mother jumped from the building. Although Shu Lun suppressed the matter, after all, someone died, and some unpleasant rumors were inevitable. So he transferred Shu En to a school in Qingyang. The most ridiculous thing is that Shu Lun changed Shu En's name to my last name. How could he feel so at ease?"
Lin Yan understood: "So, you have been thinking about revenge on Shu Lun all these years?"
"Yeah." Mo Xue lowered her eyes, a dead silence lingering on her. "After the fire, I had no money and no other relatives. No one wanted me to work before I turned sixteen... I was forced to wander for a while, and then I was adopted by an old lady who picked up garbage..."
"Ever since then, I've been secretly watching Shulun and Shuen. For a full fifteen years, I've watched Shulun's status rise and Shuen's life get better and better. I've found it ironic and helpless. Truly, there's not a single day that I haven't wished for them, father and daughter, to go to hell!"
"But I know my own limitations, and my disfigured face makes it impossible for me to socialize normally. I have no money or connections, so even if I knew Shulun's weaknesses and had evidence of his crimes, I wouldn't be able to defeat him. On the contrary, he might hurt me again."
"So, I can only stay in the dark... and can only find you..." Mo Xue said this, with a guilty look on her face: "Lin Yan, so you don't have to thank me. To put it bluntly, I am just using you to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
"How can I use this to my advantage?" Lin Yan didn't care and asked, "Mo Xue, when did you start secretly observing me?"
"A flyer. A while ago, I saw a girl handing out a flyer at the entrance of Shu Group. It said you were bullied by Mo Jiaozi for three years... Later, Shu Lun held a press conference to clarify the matter. I knew he was lying, and it made me even more convinced... that you were also a victim of Shu En's bullying."
So that's how it is.
After the chat, Lin Yan didn't feel comfortable at all, but rather felt very blocked.
She raised her eyes and looked at Mo Xue again: "Leave Shu Lun and Shu En to me from now on. They will definitely not have a good ending."
