Upon hearing her words, Mr. Mu's face immediately darkened, and he said sternly, "Shanshan! How could you say that to your mother! Apologize to your mother right now."
As she spoke, she pushed Mu Lengshan towards her mother.
Young Mu Lengshan had no idea what was going on. She just felt that her loving father had suddenly become scary. She felt wronged and wanted to cry.
Before she could even cry out, sobbing could be heard in the room; Mu's mother was weeping with her face covered.
"Shanshan, Mom didn't expect you to think of me like this..."
Mu Lengshan looked at her blankly, not understanding why she had made her mother so sad when she had only told the truth.
But Mom cried so hard, so very hard!
"Mom, I'm sorry, Shanshan won't do it again~" Mu Lengshan said, tugging at her mother's sleeve with her little hand.
Mu's mother was heartbroken and didn't want to pay any attention to her daughter, so Mu Lengshan could only keep shaking her sleeve.
The sound of his wife's sad sobs made Mu's father's heart clench, and he quickly stepped forward to hug her and comfort her.
"Children don't know any better, don't take it to heart." As he said this, Mr. Mu glared at his daughter again.
Mu Lengshan's entire childhood was filled with her mother's sadness and her father's resentment.
When she was young, she would feel sad for her parents, but as she grew older, Mu Lengshan gradually came to understand.
Her parents were like the male and female protagonists in a novel, handsome and beautiful, loving each other deeply.
The novels always end with the male and female protagonists living happily together and having one or two adorable children.
However, the novel will not depict the lives of the children of the male and female protagonists after the happy ending of the idol drama.
Take Mu's mother for example. She wants a husband who loves and cherishes her wholeheartedly and will not allow him to have eyes for anyone else.
Is their daughter within someone else's sphere of influence?
Take Lu's father, for example. He deeply loves his wife and will not allow anyone in the world to cause her even the slightest harm.
Does the scope of "anyone" include Mu Lengshan?
It is said that children are the crystallization of their parents' love, but this saying does not apply to Mu Lengshan at all.
Two people who love each other only care about each other and don't care about the child's situation at all.
So when Mu Lengshan got too close to Aunt Liu and upset her mother, Mu's father fired her without a second thought.
That was the most heartbroken time Mu Lengshan had ever cried since she could remember. She clung tightly to Aunt Liu, refusing to let her leave.
Aunt Liu was also reluctant to leave, but the employer had already paid her wages and was afraid she would refuse to leave.
Aunt Liu is a person of integrity. In the years she has worked as a nanny, she has never taken a single needle or thread from her employers. Being fired suddenly after doing a good job would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
So she definitely won't stay.
Looking down at the little dumpling clinging to her leg and crying, Aunt Liu affectionately patted Mu Lengshan's fluffy head.
Feeling the touch, Mu Lengshan looked up at her.
"Good boy, let go! Auntie's baby is waiting for his mother to come home."
After saying that, she was about to pinch Mu Lengshan's cheek. The little girl was so delicate and beautiful, she looked like a cute doll from a New Year's painting. Aunt Liu had wanted to do that for a long time.
Before, I was afraid of upsetting my employer, but now that I've been fired, what's there to be afraid of!
As she crouched down, Mu Lengshan inexplicably moved closer.
Aunt Liu's large, kind hands first pinched her arm, and just as she was about to pinch the little dumpling's face, the person in her arms was roughly snatched away.
"Didn't you already get your wages? Why are you still lingering at the Mu family's house!"
The man who came was none other than Mu's father. The thought that the housekeeper had upset his wife made him so angry that he wanted to kill her!
No one can hurt his Qingqing, including their daughter. After saying this to Aunt Liu, Mu's father began to scold Mu Lengshan.
"You have no memory at all! How many times have I told you not to associate with her? It will only make Mom sad. Do you even care about what I said?!"
The way he looked at his daughter was as if she were his enemy.
Actually, there's no difference. After all, in Mu's father's eyes, anyone who makes his wife unhappy is an enemy.
Seeing him reprimand Mu Lengshan so harshly, Aunt Liu couldn't help but say, "Sir, please don't..."
"I'm disciplining my daughter; you have no right to speak here!"
Mr. Mu roared angrily, "Where are the security guards?! What are you all standing there for?! Get her out of here right now!"
Three or four tall, burly security guards immediately sprang into action upon hearing this.
They were all colleagues who had worked together before. Aunt Liu, being kind-hearted, took good care of them, so the group didn't make things too difficult for her. They simply surrounded her and helped her out.
Her father's sudden appearance made her farewell to Aunt Liu unusually rushed.
Mu Lengshan didn't even have time to say goodbye to her. This is one of her few regrets, which has been buried deep in her heart and continues to this day.
In the sweet daily life filled with parental love, Mu Lengshan is like a troublemaker.
Every now and then, he would say the wrong thing, which would upset his mother, forcing his father to put down his work and come back to comfort his beloved wife.
Perhaps the sweet days were too boring, so God always wanted to add some fun to them.
Mu Lengshan served as a diversion for twelve years until an accident took their lives.
This accident happened in an exceptionally dramatic way; Mu's father died on the morning he was taking his wife to see the sunrise.
The weather forecast for that day clearly indicated that the next day would be foggy, making it impossible to see the sunrise.
But his wife insisted on going to see, and Mr. Mu never refused her.
The two were driving uphill when they encountered a landslide, and they and their car fell to the ground.
By the time the search and rescue team found them, they were already dead.
Mu Lengshan was still in school when she received the news of her parents' death.
The person who called her was Grandpa Mu, an old man in his sixties, who was sobbing and speaking in fits and starts.
The loss of both parents is an unbearable tragedy for any child!
But Mu Lengshan on the other end of the phone felt no ripples in her heart; her calmness was frightening even to herself.
After hanging up the phone with her grandfather, she made up a reason to ask for leave, took a taxi from school to the hospital, and remained calm like a robot until she arrived at the funeral home and saw her parents' ashen faces.
On the day of the burial, a light drizzle was falling from the sky, and the autumn wind made people shiver.
The grave where her parents were buried together was covered with soil. Mu Lengshan had only one thought in her mind: they were now bound together in life and death.
A passionate love story paired with a dramatic ending—some think it's a joke, while others believe that's how love should be.
Mu Lengshan didn't know which answer was absolutely correct, but if love meant losing her mind, she would rather never encounter it in her life.
