Chapter 2294: Destined Fate
Mu Ying had many questions in her mind. Why did her parents suddenly want to live in seclusion?
Is the brake failure a quality problem of the vehicle itself, or has someone tampered with it?
Putting all the things together, Mu Ying boldly speculated that her parents took her into seclusion not because they were afraid of committing a crime, but perhaps just to avoid someone.
They chose a secluded place, but they still couldn't defend against that man.
The man tampered with the brakes, which ultimately caused the death of the parents. Afterwards, he erased all evidence, making people believe that Mu Ying's parents committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
"Who is chasing us and why are they doing this..." Mu Ying muttered to herself.
In her impression, her father worked diligently and was not the type to make enemies, and her mother came from a prominent family and was a very gentle and cultured person.
Mu Ying couldn't figure out who it was that hated them so much that he wanted to kill their entire family.
Aunt Ling patted the back of Mu Ying's hand on the table, then looked at the young master beside her and said in a low voice, "I've been thinking about this question for years, and I've thought of some possibilities. Before I say anything, you have to promise me one thing."
Mu Ying and the young master looked at each other, then nodded to Aunt Ling.
"You go ahead." Mu Ying said.
"What I'm about to say is related to my daughter Lingying. You must promise me that you will never tell anyone what I'm saying, let alone Xiaoying. This is not only my selfish desire as a mother, but also my protection for Xiaoying."
Aunt Ling's words made Mu Ying even more confused.
How is it related to Ling Ying?
In any case, in order to reassure Aunt Ling, she and the young master promised Aunt Ling that nothing they discussed today would be known to a fourth person without Aunt Ling's permission.
Only then did Aunt Ling feel at ease and tell them what was going to happen next.
Aunt Ling said that Mu Ying's parents started to act abnormally after they sent Ling Ying here.
"Send it over?" The young master frowned immediately.
Aunt Ling nodded, pursed her lips, and said, "Actually, Xiaoying is not my biological daughter..."
After Aunt Ling said this, Mu Ying felt that the young master's grip on her hand had tightened significantly.
"Whose child is she?" asked the young master.
Aunt Ling shook her head: "Xiaoying is our adopted child. As for who her parents are, I don't know either."
The young master's hands loosened again. It was obvious that he was very anxious and a little disappointed with Aunt Ling's answer.
Afterwards, Aunt Ling told them about the process of adopting Ling Ying.
Aunt Ling said that when she was young, she was in poor health and wanted to have a child, but she was never able to, so she decided to adopt a child.
At that time, she and Ling Ying's father, her deceased ex-husband, visited several orphanages, but perhaps it was not fate that they met the children they wanted to adopt.
Until Mu Ying's parents brought Ling Ying and asked them to help take care of the child for a while...
Ling Ying was unconscious when he came.
Mu Ying's parents told them that the child had just experienced a fire and was probably hit on the head by something like furniture or a beam. The doctor said that she might become a vegetable and it would be difficult for her to wake up.
Mu Ying's parents had to leave the city for a while and were temporarily unable to take care of Ling Ying, so they asked Aunt Ling and her husband to take care of Xiaoying for a month.
At the same time, they were reminded not to send Ling Ying to the hospital, but to ask a private doctor to come home, because the child's background was not simple, and the fire she had just experienced was arson, not an accident.
Aunt Ling and Uncle Ling both knew the seriousness of the matter. Taking the child home might very well get them into trouble, but they did not refuse Mu Ying's parents' request.
Firstly, the two families are very good friends. Secondly, the Ling family is quite strong and has the ability to protect themselves as well as the child.
So Ling Ying came to their house like this.
Everyone thought that the child would never wake up and that she would be sent back to Mu Ying's parents in a month. However, unexpectedly, she miraculously woke up a week after arriving at the Ling family.
After waking up, she only remembered that her name was Ling Ying, and she didn't remember anything else.
Aunt Ling didn't expect that the child had the same surname as her husband. She thought that this might be fate.
The two finally decided to adopt Ling Ying and obtained the consent of Mu Ying's parents.
Just like that, Ling Ying became their daughter.
As they got along, Aunt Ling liked this little girl more and more.
But due to Ling Ying's head injury, he could not remember anything except his own name.
Aunt Ling and Uncle Ling made up a story about her past and made her believe that she was their daughter. Their house was on fire and while she was escaping from the house, she fell down the stairs and hit her head, losing her previous memory.
All her old photos and other daily necessities were also burned in the fire.
The repeated narration deepened Ling Ying's impression and made her believe their words more and more.
Later, for the sake of this child, they moved to another city and dismissed all the servants who knew Xiaoying's life experience. In addition, they always kept their personal lives confidential... Finally, no one knew that Lingying was adopted.
In this way, they had a cheerful and beautiful daughter.
When talking about this, tears glistened in Aunt Ling's eyes, but a happy smile still hung on her face.
She also told Mu Ying and Ling Feng that in the first few years after Xiaoying came to her side, her mental state was very bad and she had to see a psychologist regularly every month, but as soon as Xiaoying came, her mental illness was cured.
In the years after her husband's death, she had a very hard time. Thanks to Xiaoying, if it weren't for this child, she might have died long ago.
Sometimes she would feel that it was not she who saved Xiaoying, but Xiaoying who saved her.
At this point, Aunt Ling smiled apologetically at Mu Ying and Ling Feng, and said, "Look at me, I've strayed from the topic of Xiaoying. Actually, I just want to tell you that since Ying's parents rescued Xiaoying, they have become very cautious."
In the following three years, the two families, who used to get together frequently, could only get together twice a year and even called each other less frequently.
Every time they met, Aying's parents looked very cautious, as if they were afraid of being followed, and they would remind Aunt Ling and Uncle Ling to protect themselves.
Therefore, Aunt Ling suspected that the people who killed Mu Ying's parents might be the same group of people who wanted to murder Xiaoying.
Mu Ying looked at the young master silently.
I noticed that his eyes were already red and his hands were clenched into fists. He was obviously trying hard to suppress his emotions.
He looked at Aunt Ling and asked earnestly, "Excuse me, when did Xiaoying come to you?"
