Apart from her parents, the person Yang Shushu saw the most in her original body's memory was Ling Xiao. She had memorized his appearance, but all she remembered was his appearance. No matter how beautiful the original body's memory was, the impression that Ling Xiao had abandoned her and was irresponsible was deeply rooted in her. She disliked Ling Xiao even more than Mu Shicang.
However, when she actually saw this person, she felt something was wrong.
Ling Xiao's appearance is gentle and without edges. You can't say he is very handsome, but he is definitely not ugly. He is the kind of person who makes people feel comfortable when they look at him, and his smile may make people feel a spring breeze on their faces. This is exactly the opposite of Mu Shicang's beautiful and delicate appearance that makes people feel aggressive.
This kind of person should be very popular, and both men and women should be willing to get along with such a person. In the original body's memory, he seems to be a gentle and steady person, but how could a truly gentle and steady person hurt someone who loves him so much?
Thinking of this, Yang Shushu immediately swept away the remaining emotions and put on a strange yet polite smile: "Brother Ling, when did you come back?"
Seeing Yang Shushu's completely different smile, completely different eyes, and obviously unfamiliar attitude, Ling Xiao's originally pleasantly surprised smile froze on his face. He then suddenly stepped forward and reached out to hold Yang Shushu's hand: "Shushu...let me explain..."
But his outstretched hand was snatched away halfway, and Mu Shicang stood directly in front of him: "Mr. Ling, please don't do this to other people's wives, okay?"
Ling Xiao raised his eyes, and the moment he saw Mu Shicang, his eyes suddenly changed from gentle to vicious: "Mu Shicang, you planned all this."
He grabbed Mu Shicang's collar, and was unusually excited. It seemed that Ling Xiao had never been so angry in his memory.
On the other hand, Mu Shicang, who had just been so irritated by Yang Shushu that he almost couldn't maintain his demeanor as Master Mu, seemed to be at ease now. He squeezed Ling Xiao's hand with a smile, and it didn't seem like he was using much force, but he took Ling Xiao's hand away little by little, then straightened his collar. His expression was particularly scumbag, like the son of a landlord who had ruined a poor family's daughter and clearly didn't want to take responsibility in front of the girl's parents.
Yang Shushu was amused by her own thoughts. In order not to destroy the atmosphere between the two of them, she quickly lowered her head, but her action had two different meanings in the eyes of the two men.
Mu Shicang felt that this guy had nothing to do with it and just wanted to watch the fun.
Ling Xiao felt that the little sister he held in his hands was sad at this moment.
"So what if I planned it? Mr. Ling, you abandoned her under those circumstances, and I chose to forgive her. What right do you have to speak?"
Yang Shushu lowered her head, but the corners of her mouth curled up. This guy is rubbish, but sometimes he can see things clearly.
Ling Xiao's breathing stagnated, and his entire aura seemed to disappear. He looked at Yang Shushu cautiously: "Shushu, I..."
Yang Shushu looked up, smiled, and tried to act like she was always the same. "Brother Ling, you don't have to explain to me. You were not obligated to do those things. On the contrary, I'm glad you didn't succeed. After all, that would have ruined your reputation. This is good, really."
Mu Shicang was almost amused by her two-faced behavior. She was a ferocious tigress in front of him, but immediately became a little rabbit in front of Ling Xiao. Is it really okay to treat her differently in front of him, her legitimate husband?
"Shushu, since you have this opportunity, you should let Mr. Ling get to know you well, so that he can give up. If you keep doing this, he will never give up, and I will be very sad."
Yang Shushu glared at him fiercely. Such a look made Ling Xiao stunned. That was the Shushu he was unfamiliar with. He looked at her in astonishment: "Shushu, you..."
Yang Shushu turned to look at him, and her gentle expression returned: "Brother Ling, let the past be the past. We must always look forward to life. I wish you all the best in the future." She stretched out her hand and showed a sincere smile.
She didn't have any feelings for Ling Xiao in her heart, and even felt that he was a bit hypocritical. Just as Mu Shicang said just now, when faced with two choices at the time, he chose to give up his original body.
Perhaps she was being a bit arbitrary and selfish. What if their lives were at stake? But the original body was dead, already dead. If it weren't for his sudden departure, the original body might have suffered from being captured and taken back, but at least there was still hope, and it wouldn't end like this.
Ling Xiao couldn't believe that these words came from Yang Shushu's mouth. The little sister who was extremely dependent on him and always afraid that he would abandon her, actually smiled and told him frankly that everything was over. He didn't believe it, absolutely didn't believe it.
He wanted to go to Yang Shushu again, but Mu Shicang stopped him again: "Mr. Ling, my wife has made it very clear. As a man, as long as you still have some feelings for her, shouldn't you bless her?"
When Ling Xiao faced Mu Shicang, his gentleness could never be expressed smoothly. He could not smile hypocritically to anyone like Mu Shicang.
He sneered, "Blessing? Do you know why she desperately asked me to take her away? How did you treat her? How did your entire Mu family treat her? Don't you know? Blessing? Haha, Mu Shicang, Master Mu, don't say I love her. Even if we were just ordinary friends, seeing how miserable she is, I would take her away."
After saying that, he turned to look at Yang Shushu, his eyes turning gentle: "Shushu, don't be afraid. Even if the Mu family has absolute power in Jinjing, this is a society ruled by law. He won't do anything to you. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of him."
Ling Xiao still treated her as Yang Shushu, who was always timid in everything, and thought that she said such words to him because she was intimidated by Mu Shicang.
Yang Shushu shook her head, feeling that Ling Xiao was quite self-righteous. "Brother Ling, thank you, but I'm fine now. Mu Shicang treats me well. Didn't he accompany me home today? I was naive before, but... after going through some things, I've grown up a lot. I also know that I can't always rely on others. I have to learn to grow up on my own. You don't have to worry about me, really."
She didn't want to argue anymore, so she glanced at Mu Shicang and pulled him over: "Aren't you going to stay here tonight? Let's go to the supermarket at the door to buy some toiletries."
After saying that, she nodded at Ling Xiao and pulled Mu Shicang away. This time, Mu Shicang cooperated and went with her directly.
Ling Xiao stood there and looked at the two of them. Mu Shicang turned around and waved at him with a smile, but he didn't even look at them. He just stared at Yang Shushu's back, but Yang Shushu didn't even turn her head back once.
