"I heard that your father was very handsome when he was young. Many eligible young ladies liked to come to the Ye family. You must have been very jealous back then, right?"
The butler glanced at him sideways, his expression sinister.
"I'm more than just jealous, I want to kill them all!"
Yi Mu pretended to be startled.
"Your heart is truly dark; no wonder you show such disrespect to the lady."
The butler laughed heartily, his voice filled with sorrow, sounding rather pitiful.
"She just comes from a better family and is prettier, but she's not as good to him as I am."
But he fell in love with that person at first sight. What could I do?
As Yi Mu counted the time, he posed a beautiful hypothetical scenario.
"If your father had chosen you back then, what do you think you would be like now?"
The butler turned to look at him, and that look was one of deep affection.
"Then my hands would definitely not be as rough as they are now."
I'll be like that woman, meeting up with my girlfriends every day to go for beauty treatments and drink coffee.
I will carefully educate my son and find him a daughter from a respectable family.
The butler paused, then glared fiercely at Yi Mu: "You bitch, stay away from my son, you slut!"
Yi Mu smiled and took the Walkman from her hand.
The butler hurriedly snatched it from his hands.
Yi Mu squinted at him, his face expressionless, like some kind of cold-blooded, bloodthirsty animal.
The housekeeper pulled her head back and made the nagging, childish cries of someone whose toy has been taken away.
Ignoring her, Yi Mu slowly fast-forwarded the audio.
Amidst the background noise of the stuttering, Yi Mu asked the butler in a low voice.
"Back then, you switched me with Jiang Lin, and watched him be pampered by the madam while constantly belittling and insulting me. Didn't you feel even a little bit guilty?"
The housekeeper snorted through her nose, with an air of arrogance that made you want to strangle her.
“I did it on purpose. The better my son does, the less I can stand to see you succeed.”
You'll be my son's lifelong lackey and lapdog; you'll never rise above him.
Did you hear that? You've called her "Mom" for so many years, and she's so mean.
So, how about driving her completely insane?
Pretending to be crazy is exhausting; only by going completely insane can one find liberation.
Imu is talking to the original owner of the body from the past.
I broke out in a sweat from excitement.
He finally lost his temper and went mad, making her suffer a fate worse than death!
As I removed my fingers from the Walkman, the male voice rang out again.
This time it was even gentler, like the whispered sweet nothings between lovers.
Yi Mu returned the Walkman to the butler and stood up.
The butler held the little thing in his hands as if it were a priceless treasure.
But soon, the smile on her face froze.
"I will always be good to you in this life, and to the baby in your belly, Daddy loves you very much."
Then came the voice of the lady in her youth, soft and beautiful, with a hint of laughter.
"Baby, did you hear that? Daddy says he loves you."
The woman paused, then said with disgust, "She's eavesdropping again, Ah Ming. Can't we just fire her?"
"I'll fire her as soon as my mom moves to her hometown. Sigh, she's been getting more and more out of line lately."
The lady said quietly, "I can tell she likes you."
The man hurriedly declared, "I have nothing to do with her, and I have never shown any interest in her. You have to believe me."
"Alright, alright, I don't distrust you. Let's go inside."
Old memories flooded back, and the butler abruptly threw his Walkman away, clutching his head and screaming.
"No! No! He likes me, he even taught me to write, young master, you like me!"
Yi Mu stared at her hunched back, turned around expressionlessly, closed the door, and locked the hysterical screams behind him.
The reason why dreams are so beautiful is that if you think about them for a long time, you start to believe they are real.
The cruelest thing in this world is shattering an unwavering illusion.
Therefore, those who commit many evil deeds will surely face retribution.
