Mu Hengshi only now realized that he had liked Song Qingmo for a long time, and all the things he did in the past were just his way of covering up the unbearable shame that Song Qingmo only treated him as a friend.
I armed myself with alienation and disgust, deliberately ignoring the source of all this. Now that I have come to my senses, I have ended up pushing the person I love thousands of miles away with my own hands.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm a bastard, but can you give me another chance? Please..." Mu Hengshi's face was pleading, his eyes were sad, and his voice was choked.
"Hahaha..." Song Qingmo thought. He had never expected that in his previous life, he had waited till his death for Mu Heng to confess his sins, but now, under such absurd circumstances, he had received it so easily. Ha, it really was like a dream.
Song Qingmo's heart has calmed down. Unlike the resentment before, he is no longer the same person in his previous life. There is no need to confuse the two. It is enough to talk it out now. However, if he insists on following the same trajectory as in his previous life, then he will not be polite.
Song Qingmo was a little amused. No one would believe what he said. If he hadn't known he already had his Mr. Right, he would have believed him if he said he liked her. "I've made my position clear, you know? Ever since I figured it out, I've been getting more and more annoyed with you. You said you like me, but what do you like about me? Can you tell me? Are you sure this isn't just an illusion caused by the departure of one of your bootlickers?"
Mu Hengshi's heart was still aching, and something in his mind seemed to be breaking free from its shackles and becoming clear, but eventually it returned to calm.
Mu Hengshi's tone was a little anxious, as if he wanted to make something clear. "No, I'm sure I don't have that kind of feeling towards you. I like you, no, I love you, Song Qingmo. I know I've done a lot of wrong things. Can you give me a chance to make amends? I will definitely learn how to love someone well."
"Mu Hengshi, it's too early to say whether you like me or not. Now you are only 17 years old. There will be many changes in the future. None of us can tell. How do you know that you will always like me and will not change? In the future, when everything is still too vague, don't promise anything to others easily. Don't push another person into the abyss because of some fictitious things. To love someone is to tolerate his bad shortcomings. Oh, of course I didn't say to tolerate his crimes such as murder and arson. A better love is to let go when you find that he doesn't love you, and let him live the life he wants, not to plunder and hurt. Okay, I've said all I want. I hope you will take care of yourself. Let's not have any contact in the future."
Song Qingmo hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell Mu Hengshi what he had said. He then turned and left without a second thought. Mu Hengshi wanted to tell him that he wouldn't do what he said, but for some reason he didn't. Song Qingmo's tone was so firm, as if he had experienced it all before.
Song Qingmo's words weren't very loud, but they were still clearly heard by those in the room. "Mrs. Mu, Mr. Mu, I'm sorry, but it seems Qingmo has made his choice. I've done my best. I agreed to bring him here today, but now the outcome is clear. We should try not to have any contact between our two families in the future."
"The younger generations of the two families must be having a quarrel. There is still a chance. Let's wait and see." Mu's mother still wanted to save the situation.
"No need. Xiao Mo has a bad temper and is unruly. He was yelling today too. I'm afraid he won't be able to get along well with people other than us. We've already planned to raise him for the rest of his life, so you don't need to worry about him."
Song's mother had never forgotten what she had promised Song Qingmo. He had no idea how much he had suffered in the past just to make friends, so it didn't matter if he didn't have this friend. She had thought Mu Hengshi was a good person, but now it seemed like forget it. Belated affection was cheaper than grass. With such outstanding sons, they didn't need a scumbag who later repented.
"Nowadays, many companies are slowly rising. The domestic market has been saturated and the competition for business opportunities is very fierce. Our Mu and Song families will get great benefits from joining forces through marriage, but we should still consider it carefully." Mu's father persuaded the Song family from the perspective of business interests.
"We in the Song family have enough money. There is no need to sacrifice the happiness of the younger generation in order to make more money. After all, I am not that poor. Besides, Mr. Mu, you have forgotten that we have a mine at home. We can still mine even if we can't get the cooperation. I will not sell my children." Song's father retorted domineeringly. When he came to the capital, many people always used marriage to consolidate their alliances, which he always looked down upon.
In the eyes of these nouveau riche, money is important, but enjoying life and family harmony are even more important. They say he has no ambition and no vision, but after all, Song Qingmo is the only child of the Song family. Maybe Song Qingmo will even end their family lineage, so he doesn't mind. What does all this matter?
"Old Song, let's go home with our son." Seeing Song's father defending her like this, Song's mother smiled. She had never chosen the wrong person. She took Song's father's hand and walked out of the Mu family villa in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
After sending me off, Mu's mother angrily threw the teacup to the ground. Mu's father's face was gloomy, and I couldn't tell what he was thinking. "They look down on our family. They're nouveau riche. Even if they could establish themselves in Beijing, we'd still look down on them. We thought we were showing them respect by allowing them to marry into our family, but I didn't expect them to be so ungrateful."
"Alright, there's no need to be angry with them. If they don't take this opportunity, forget it. Just consider it a favor from his family and we'll just pay it off."
Mother Mu took a long time to say, "Okay, but you have to keep an eye on Hengshi, lest he gets seduced by that kid from the Song family."
"He knows his limits." Mu's father said so. Mu's mother had no choice but to hold her breath and sit on the sofa angrily.
The two families had completely fallen out. When Song's mother came out and saw Mu Heng, whose face was red from being slapped, she didn't bother to be polite and rolled her eyes at her former future son-in-law.
After Song Qingmo left, Mu Hengshi remained frozen in place, his heart clenched and a sense of inexplicable sadness enveloped him until the housekeeper invited him in. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Mu Hengshi had just been thinking about what Song Qingmo had said. He would do his best to fulfill all of Song Qingmo's requests, but the one he couldn't obey was the one about letting go.
Song's mother and the others caught up with Song Qingmo, carefully took Song Qingmo's hand, and Song Qingmo did not dodge. Song's mother was very happy and it seemed that she was not angry with her. Her previous concerns were dispelled. The three of them walked happily in a row and returned home in a mighty manner.
Song Qingmo pulled his hands away helplessly, laughing secretly behind his back. After everything he had experienced in the past, how could he still be angry with his parents?
