Chapter 432 Past Events
Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could Xiao Nuan be my sister?
Mu Yuting stood there in a daze, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.
In an instant, he seemed to be pulled out of reality, fell into a chaotic state, and his mind was blank.
He has been a powerful figure for so many years and has encountered many storms, but he has never been so panic-stricken.
If these words came from someone else's mouth, he would ignore them, think that person was talking nonsense, and would want to kill that person.
But these words came from Xiao Nuan's mother, so you can imagine how much weight they carry.
Mu Yuting admitted that he was a little flustered and confused.
He gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself down, and said sharply, his voice lowered several degrees.
"Auntie, you are my elder, and I have always respected you. If you have any opinions about me, you can raise them. But if you want us to separate in this way, I have to consider your intentions."
At this moment, Liang Yuling's heartache was no less than Mu Yuting's.
"Yu Ting, I don't have any opinions about you. If your Uncle Lin and I were dissatisfied with you, we would have said it on the first day you came.
We want you to be together more than anyone else.
But since I knew your identity last night, I couldn't just watch this mistake continue, nor could I hide the truth. You are brother and sister, and you must break up, no matter how painful it is. Xiao Nuan definitely can't accept this fact, so I can only tell you. "
Mu Yuting took a deep breath, his mind became clearer, his eyes were sharp again, and his voice returned to its usual coldness.
"Auntie, since you are so determined that we must break up, I want to know what your basis is for saying that. Why do you think we are brother and sister? Is it because you know my identity?"
There was even a hint of rebuke in Mu Yuting's excited tone.
Liang Yuling was not angry. She understood Mu Yuting's feelings and only asked, "Yuting, listen to me slowly. Is your father's name Mu Xiangan?"
Mu Yuting froze for a moment, his frown revealing disbelief, "How do you know my father's name?"
Liang Yuling glanced in the direction of the bedroom and said cautiously, "Don't wake Xiao Nuan up. Let's go out and talk while we walk."
Liang Yuling didn't want Xiao Nuan to know about this.
Mu Yuting also thought so. Regardless of whether this matter was true or false, he didn't want Xiao Nuan to face it.
…
Today's weather seems to be able to understand people's moods, it is gloomy.
Especially the mountains in the distance, shrouded in a layer of mist, look melancholy.
Liang Yuling felt mixed emotions, but she had to say what she had to say, no matter how painful it was.
"Yu Ting, today I will tell you everything, including Xiao Nuan's life experience. You can doubt what I say, or you can verify it.
But I have a selfish request. Please promise me that none of this will reach Xiao Nuan's ears. She is only 21, the best age, and I want her to live a happy life."
Mu Yuting's cold and unruly face showed no emotion, his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
"Auntie, I told you I will protect her my whole life. No matter how big the problem is, I am willing to bear all the pain alone and will not let her get involved."
His cold voice concealed his endless love for Xiao Nuan.
Liang Yuling felt indescribable sadness in her heart. She sighed and said,
"More than thirty years ago, I worked as a servant in the Mu family. At that time, your father and your mother were not married yet..."
Liang Yuling's thoughts went back to more than 30 years ago.
Except for Xiao Nuan's father, almost no one knows that Liang Yuling is actually a native of Jiangcheng, including Xiao Nuan.
Back then, the Liang family was in the cloth business. Although they were not wealthy, they were still better off than the average family.
Liang Yuling recalled and said, "I have a cousin who lives with my aunt. When my cousin was five years old, my aunt died of illness. Less than two months after her death, my uncle married another one. My stepmother was cruel and would beat and scold my cousin.
My father couldn't stand it any longer, so he brought my cousin home. From then on, my cousin lived with us. Her original surname was Li, but because she hated her father, she voluntarily took our family name. My father named her Liang Zhiyin.
Liang's parents also treated Liang Zhiyin as their own child and loved her very much. They paid for her education and let her learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As long as Liang Yulin had something, Liang Zhiyin also had it.
Liang Yuling is one year older than Liang Zhiyin, and the two sisters now have playmates and are inseparable.
Liang Zhiyin was smart and beautiful, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When she was in junior high school for girls, she was already a famous young talent on campus.
The only drawback is that Liang Zhiyin also developed a spoiled eldest daughter's temper in her wealthy life without having to do any housework.
In contrast, the good-tempered Liang Yuling does not seem like a young lady from the Liang family at all. She does not like reading, but loves cooking very much. She runs to the kitchen when she has nothing to do to help the chef at home.
Learn cooking secretly.
Liang Yuling has been in poor health since childhood, and her parents feel very guilty about her. They don't stop Liang Yuling from doing whatever she likes and just let her learn as long as she is happy.
Therefore, Liang Yuling was able to cook a delicious meal when she was in her teens.
Later, Liang's father's cloth business grew bigger and bigger. Even though he was cautious, he still offended the jealous people in the same industry.
Liang's father was plotted against and lost everything overnight. His shop and courtyard became the property of others, and he was left with a huge debt.
The family moved to a small courtyard in the suburbs that his father had previously purchased.
Even so, the man did not let the Liang family go. He was afraid that Liang's father would make a comeback and take revenge, so he bribed both the black and white forces to kill Liang's father.
One evening, several masked men banged on the door and rushed into the house to beat her parents. Sixteen-year-old Liang Yuling and fifteen-year-old Liang Zhiyin were hiding in a partition door specially built by their father.
When the group of people were knocking on the door, the parents warned that even if they died, the two sisters were not allowed to come out, otherwise they would die with regrets.
They knew too well what it would mean if these two beautiful sisters were discovered by that group of people.
In order to protect the two sisters, their father and mother ran outside desperately, leading the group of people into the yard. The group of people thought they were trying to escape and killed them.
Then they searched the house but couldn't find the two sisters, so they smashed the house and fled.
Afterwards, Liang Yuling and Liang Zhiyin began to live in hiding. Given their young age, one can imagine how difficult their lives were.
Liang Yuling has been in poor health since childhood, but in order to make a living, she had to work for wealthy families. Because she was young and had no work experience, she was often bullied and her employers would withhold her wages.
Even so, Liang Yuling was still very happy. At least the salary was enough for her and Liang Zhiyin to rent a simple house and have a full meal.
Liang Zhiyin couldn't let go of her status and was unwilling to work, so Liang Yuling didn't force her.
Three years passed like this. Liang Yuling was nineteen years old and Liang Zhiyin was eighteen years old.
Liang Zhiyin likes writing articles very much, so he started contributing to newspapers and earning some royalties.
This year, the Mu family was recruiting workers, and Liang Yuling was hired to work there with her excellent cooking skills.
The Mu family has a very good family tradition. Unlike other wealthy families who treat servants as non-human beings, there is not so much intrigue among the servants in the Mu family. That was the most relaxing and happiest time for Liang Yulin since she started working.
At that time, Liang Yuling lived in the Mu family, and Liang Zhiyin would come to the door of the Mu family to find her when he had something to do.
