"No, that's not the case."
The old lady immediately denied it in a firm tone, not admitting her fault at all.
And at this moment, she was not truly repentant, and her so-called excuse was just because she didn't want to end up in a miserable old age.
After all, the Mu family is now ruled by Ye Yun and Mu Jingsheng, and they cannot tolerate her.
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw Mu Jingsheng standing behind her.
"Respect for life?!"
The old lady was startled.
When did her son come over? How much did he hear?
The lights in the living room are bright.
But Mu Jingsheng stood with his back to the light, so no one could see his expression hidden in the darkness.
Ye Yun turned around slowly.
When she saw Mu Jingsheng, there was no surprise on her face, as if she had expected Mu Jingsheng to appear here at an appropriate time.
"Son, son, don't believe her, she is talking nonsense!" The old lady came back to her senses and hurriedly walked towards Mu Jingsheng.
She grabbed Mu Jingsheng's arm, her eyes filled with urgency.
She was very afraid that Mu Jing would believe Aunt Li's words and become distant from her from then on.
After she learned that she had cancer, she began to feel panicked about being old and helpless.
This fear that rose from the bottom of her heart made her subconsciously want to please Mu Jingsheng.
But at this moment, Mu Jingsheng just stared at her motionlessly. His dark eyes made it impossible to guess his emotions, which made the old lady feel uneasy.
Finally, Mu Jingsheng spoke.
"Mom, is what Aunt Li just said true?"
"No! It's not true." Old Mrs. Mu refuted immediately and firmly.
Mu Jingsheng snorted coldly.
"Isn't it true?" He slowly raised his head, finally revealing his face, with a hint of gloom between his brows.
He is obviously in his forties, but the gloom in his eyes is chilling.
"Sir! Sir, please believe me. I have said everything I should say. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Madam!" Aunt Li cried.
People who are extremely frightened will not lie at all in order to survive.
But Old Mrs. Mu was still stubborn.
Mu Jingsheng's eyes changed from a trace of uncertainty to hesitation, indifference, and finally, to deep disappointment.
Looking at Old Lady Mu, he shook his head, his heavy eyes filled with disappointment: "Mom, I am so disappointed in you. I never thought that Xiaoxia's stupidity was caused by you..."
Halfway through his speech, he became speechless.
He has always known that he owed Ye Xia a lot, but he didn't even know that there was such a secret back then!
Unknown to him, Ye Xia had actually endured so much torture!
Mu Jingsheng was not very clear about the details at the time. He only knew that he left Ye Xia alone in the house he rented one day when he went to get off work. When he came home from work, the room was in a mess and Ye Xia was nowhere to be found.
Later, after being reminded by his neighbors, he found Ye Xia who had been sent to the hospital.
And Ye Xia who woke up...
He thought that it was the fiancée that his mother had forced upon him that secretly caused trouble for Ye Yun.
Because of this incident, he was deeply resentful of his domineering fiancée.
But he never imagined that the person who caused all these tragedies was actually his biological mother!
No wonder, no wonder his lover trembled when he saw his mother.
No wonder after so many years, this fear has been engraved in her lover's bones and cannot be shaken off!
So that's how it is.
Mu Jingsheng just felt pathetic and sighed, with the corners of his lips raised in a bitter tone.
He hated the old lady for being so heartless, and also hated himself for being so foolish. Why didn't he discover these things earlier!
Surprisingly, nearly twenty years had passed before it was still his daughter who revealed the bloody truth!
"Mom, I hate you..."
For a long time, Mu Jingsheng stared at Old Lady Mu, gritted his teeth, and trembled as he uttered a whole sentence.
Old Mrs. Mu felt as if struck by lightning.
Her old face was pale and she stared blankly at Mu Jingsheng in front of her.
"Jingsheng..." She stretched out her hand to touch Mu Jingsheng, and said tremblingly: "Son, please listen to your mother's explanation..."
However, Mu Jingsheng took a step back.
The fright made him step back to avoid Mrs. Mu's tentative hand, and also made Mrs. Mu's face stiff and her body swayed uncontrollably.
That slight step back was full of alienation from her as a mother.
"Don't say anything." Mu Jingsheng's eyes turned red. He looked up at the ceiling and forced himself to hold back the tears in his eyes. He spoke again with a hoarse voice: "Originally, I wanted to serve you and wait for you to pass away. After all, I also want to be a filial son."
"But now it seems that my desire to be a filial son is such a foolish thing."
"Mom, I can't keep you here. If I keep you here and become a filial son, I won't be a competent husband and father. I will be sorry for my lover and daughter."
"Mom, I'm sorry, I will personally take you back to the old house..."
After saying these words, he could no longer bear the pain in his heart, closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
The old lady's lips trembled, and she wanted to beg: "Son..."
"Dad, it might be inconvenient for grandma to stay in the old house alone. Isn't she used to having Aunt Li as a nanny? Why don't we let Aunt Li go back with her?"
Ye Yun interrupted her.
