At this point, Lou Quzheng suddenly stopped, stared at Mu Xiaocheng, and asked, "Do you know why your name is Xiaocheng?"
"ah?"
Mu Xiaocheng subconsciously raised her eyebrows. Could it be that Lou Quzheng really gave her this name?
Heh, hehe...
No wonder it lacks any deeper meaning.
Lou Quzheng glanced smugly at Mu Heng across from him and said with a smug look, "Because your mother asked me to name you, and she remembered that I like to eat oranges, so she named you this."
"What do you think of this name? It's cute, isn't it?"
Mu Xiaocheng: "..."
This is way too casual!
How could Mom let this man do whatever he wanted?
Mu Xiaocheng thought for a moment and realized that perhaps her mother also felt guilty towards Lou Quzheng.
She couldn't think of any other reason.
Mu Heng remained silent, sitting there quietly like an outsider, but his sharp eyes suggested he was somewhat angry.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaocheng asked again, "You were there when my mother gave birth to me, so what happened after that? Do you know why she went crazy?"
Lou Quzheng's expression darkened when this issue was brought up.
Mu Heng sat upright, waiting for his answer.
Lou Quzheng sighed heavily, his tone filled with helplessness and even a hint of self-blame.
"It's my fault for not protecting her."
“After she gave birth to you, she said she wanted to go back to the Meng family, and her attitude was very firm. I think that staying in the Meng family might be the best choice for her.”
"After we separated, she didn't stay obediently in the Meng family because she was afraid that Old Master Meng would investigate your father's identity, which would break her vow to your father. I used to visit her once a month, but when you were eight years old, the Lou family faced a crisis. During those months, I was extremely busy and could only send my subordinates to check on you every month and bring you some things."
"But who knew that later I would receive news that your mother had fallen to her death."
"She committed suicide."
He didn't receive the news immediately.
It was obvious that someone was interfering, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Lou family to disrupt his intelligence.
"You mean, the person who harmed my mother knew about your relationship with her, and also knew you quite well?"
Mu Xiaocheng seemed to understand something, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
Lou Quzheng nodded.
Although I hate to admit it, it's true.
He's been investigating for so many years, but he still hasn't found a clue.
Thinking about it later, perhaps it really was the person who knew him best who did it.
That person was the only blood relative he had in the world, the closest person to him.
Lou Qinxue.
She also had that motivation.
Lou Quzheng felt incredibly stupid for only realizing the truth now.
"Is that Lou Qinxue?"
Mu Heng suddenly spoke up. His voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, and his brows were furrowed.
He hoped his guess was wrong.
Because Lou Qinxue saved his life.
In the end, is he going to pay with his life?
Lou Quzheng narrowed his hawk-like eyes slightly: "What? Are you scared?"
Mu Heng shook his head. He now understood why Lou Quzheng wanted to talk to him.
That's the purpose, isn't it?
He wanted him to know that Lou Qinxue was his enemy.
And in this world, perhaps only he could make her lower her guard, get close to her, and kill her with ease.
"Didn't we say we were going to spar? Let's go."
Mu Heng stood up, his tone indifferent, and walked towards the training room on his own.
