I never expected Xu Daya to be so cunning, scheming against the Xu family and Mu Jingheng as well.
However, Xu Daya didn't get anything good in the end.
Mu Jingheng had always been very cold towards her. Although they were husband and wife in name, she was in fact just a housekeeper being supported.
After Xu Laosan and Xu Zexi found out the truth, they kept causing her trouble, and she was too scared to go out.
Xu Laosan was furious when he found out that Mu Jingheng had married Xu Daya several years later. He thought Mu Jingheng was an ingrate and stopped Mu Jingheng's car on the road.
Mu Jingheng then learned the real reason behind the Xu family's tragedy.
The pain and guilt he felt at that time were indescribable.
He felt he had let Xu Xinning down, so he went to the place where Xu Xinning had the accident and knelt there for three days and three nights before a staff member carried him back.
The first thing he did upon returning to Kyoto was to send Xu Daya to a deserted island. He wanted to make her wish she were dead, to torture her, and to avenge the unfortunate deaths of the Xu family.
Besides punishing Xu Daya, he also punished himself, fearing that Xu Xinning would no longer pay attention to him after he passed away.
Xu Laosan and Xu Zexi hoped he would live well and comforted him more than once.
very nice!
He's back.
He saw the person he had been longing for again.
Seeing that Mu Jingheng was lost in thought again, Xu Laosan waved his hand in front of his eyes and then held up a finger, asking, "Brother, do you know how many fingers this is?"
Mu Jingheng found it amusing, grasped the finger that Xu Laosan had extended, and teased him, "Is it Sun Wukong's golden cudgel?"
Xu Laosan scoffed, unconvinced, and said irritably, "Looks like you didn't get stupid from the fall. But, brother, do you think this method will work for pursuing my sister? Although I really hope you'll be my brother-in-law, I've already told you my sister doesn't like your type, that Zhao Ming guy..."
Xu Laosan kept rambling on, but before he could finish, Mu Jingheng interrupted him, saying, "Your brother-in-law will only be me."
Xu Laosan sighed, looking at Mu Jingheng's miserable state, afraid of upsetting him, so he chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, it's good to be confident. I hope you can succeed, brother."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something, patted Mu Jingheng's shoulder and added seriously, "My sister likes mature men. Brother, since you can't get out of bed anyway, why don't you spend your free time thinking about how to mature yourself!"
Mu Jingheng was amused by Xu Laosan, thinking to himself, "His mental age is almost seventy, he must be very familiar with him, right?"
When Xu Xinning brought the porridge in, Xu Laosan was telling Mu Jingheng about what happened after he fell into a coma. He embellished the story and exaggerated it to an extreme degree. He said that Old Madam Xu almost cried herself to death, and that Jiang Juecheng and Xu Mingyang regretted it so much that they beat their chests and stamped their feet. The main focus was on Xu Xinning, whom he described as an omnipotent fairy.
Xu Xinning walked over, holding a bowl of porridge in one hand and carrying Xu Laosan in the other. She didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore; he wasn't ashamed, but she was.
Xu Laosan wasn't annoyed. He just stood next to Xu Xinning, grinning, and it was unclear what he was laughing about.
Xu Xinning handed the porridge to Mu Jingheng, "It's not too hot, it's just right to eat now. You can take your medicine after you finish the porridge."
Mu Jingheng wouldn't take it, looking at Xu Xinning with pleading eyes, and said pitifully, "Xin'er, I don't have the strength, can you feed me?"
Xu Xinning's face flushed red again, and she gave Mu Jingheng a coquettish glare, but she didn't hesitate in her actions, obediently sitting on the edge of the bed and feeding Mu Jingheng porridge spoonful by spoonful.
Mu Jingheng was overjoyed, staring intently at Xu Xinning.
Xu Laosan was dumbfounded. What was wrong with his sister? Didn't she dislike childish styles?
Anyone with eyes could see that Mu Jingheng did it on purpose, so how could his smart and beautiful sister fall for it?
Does his sister now prefer yandere types?
Xu Laosan felt that women's hearts were really too hard to fathom.
Before she had even finished feeding him a bowl of porridge, someone braved the heavy rain to come looking for Xu Xinning.
"Ningning, hurry, hurry, something's happened! Someone's been hit by a rock that rolled down the mountain. Jiang Zhiqing said he broke a bone and is afraid of getting hurt again, so he's not allowed to move."
Without saying a word, Xu Xinning was about to leave when she remembered that Mu Jingheng hadn't taken his medicine yet, so she went back to remind Xu Laosan.
When Mu Jingheng heard that rocks were rolling down the mountain, he thought of a landslide, and his heart clenched. He didn't want Xu Xinning to go, but Xu Xinning was too fast. Before he could recover from his panic, she had already left.
"Xin'er, don't go!" Mu Jingheng shouted anxiously.
Xu Xinning thought he was reluctant to let her leave, so she turned around and said, "Drink your medicine and get some rest."
Mu Jingheng wanted to chase after Xu Xinning, but his leg was being held by Xu Xinning, and he almost fell off the bed in his haste.
He hadn't expected things to develop so suddenly; he thought he still had time to prepare.
"Third brother, hurry, hurry and go after your sister. Tell her there might be a landslide on the mountain and she shouldn't go near the mountainside," Mu Jingheng shouted, pushing Xu Laosan forcefully.
Xu Laosan had never seen Mu Jingheng like this before, which left him stunned with fear.
Seeing that Xu Laosan didn't move, Mu Jingheng emphasized, "Go after your sister quickly, don't let her go to the foot of the mountain, she'll die."
Xu Laosan's face turned pale with fright, and he ran outside as fast as he could.
Xu Laosan wasn't wearing a raincoat or carrying an umbrella; he just ran desperately in the rain.
The rain soaked her to the bone, and her vision was blurred by the rain, but Mu Jingheng's words kept echoing in her mind: "Don't let her go to the foot of the mountain, she will die."
Fortunately, Xu Xinning and the others hadn't gone far when Xu Laosan caught up with Xu Xinning after running for a short while.
Upon seeing Xu Xinning, Xu Laosan screamed hysterically, "Sister, sister, don't go!"
When Xu Xinning heard Xu Laosan yell that he had done the splits, she turned around and saw him chasing after her, completely soaked. She felt a little angry. "Go back! Can't you see how hard it's raining?"
Xu Laosan didn't want to say that Xu Xinning would die if she went there, as he felt it was too unlucky regardless of whether it was true or not, so he told her about the landslide.
Xu Xinning wasn't an ignorant person. She remembered that the person who came said that rocks rolling down the mountain had injured people, and that landslides would loosen the rocks, right? But it was impossible for her not to go.
Xu Xinning yelled at Xu Laosan, "Go back now! I know what you said. I'll remind Mom and Uncle Qiangzi. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Xu Laosan still clutched Xu Xinning's sleeve tightly in fear, his voice choked with sobs: "Sister, sister, don't go, I won't let you go."
Xu Xinning: "Listen to me, go home quickly. I promise you, nothing will happen."
Xu Laosan just wouldn't let go. He didn't know how to stop Xu Xinning from going over there, so he could only resort to the most foolish method.
Xu Xinning was also puzzled by Xu Laosan's actions, so she could only drag him along.
