Chapter 151: The Truth Behind the Fire
Shen Shuli stopped crying immediately and picked up the photos to look through them. The photos were all enlarged and clearly showed Mu Huaixu entering the abandoned warehouse and carrying her out. The two of them fainted not far away.
There was still time for Fu Yanci to arrive, carry her away, and arrange for someone to send Mu Huaixu away.
It is true that Fu Yanci saved her, but he concealed an important fact: it was Mu Huaixu who rescued her despite the fire!
She didn't expect that he could be so despicable as to tell such a lie!
It was hard for her to imagine how many things he had deceived her over the years.
How much of what he said to her was true and how much was false?
Is the endless love he talks about all built up with lies and deception?
"Why didn't you tell me these things back then?"
Mu Huaixu gently stroked her shoulders, reassuring her about the situation. "When I woke up, you had already accepted his proposal. If I had told him then, I would have had no evidence, and he had countless witnesses. You wouldn't have believed me. So, not long after, I resigned from the law firm, left Beijing, and returned to the Mu family."
Chen Shuli also knew that if Mu Huaixu had told her the truth back then, she would not have believed it, and she would probably have been instigated by Fu Yanci and thought that Mu Huaixu was a despicable and shameless person who wanted to take advantage of his life-saving grace.
The corners of her lips curled up into a bitter smile. "I'm really too stupid. How could I be so stupid? I actually protected an ungrateful person who wanted to destroy my family with my own hands!"
Mu Huaixu picked up a tissue and wiped away her tears. "It's not too late to know now. You are still young and have a chance to start over."
The corners of Shen Shuli's mouth twitched in pain, and she stroked her belly gently. "How many times have I wanted to make up my mind to abort this child? However, I can feel this little life growing little by little in my belly. I have dreamed many times that I lost him. He said, 'Mom, I don't want to leave you. I miss you so much. Please don't leave me, okay?'"
Her tears fell again. "When I woke up, my pillow was soaked with tears. I couldn't do it. I don't know if every mother has this mentality, but I really couldn't do it. When he called me mom in the dream, I really couldn't abandon him. He is my child, the one I fought for three years and finally conceived! How can I leave him?"
Chen Shuli's tears fell more and more fiercely, "I know my baby loves me too. He has nothing to do with Fu Yanci. No matter what the cost, I will not let Fu Yanci take him away. He is my child alone. Besides, he doesn't love children at all. He never expected this child to come into this world from the beginning to the end. What qualifications does he have to take the child away from me!"
Mu Huaixu picked up a tissue to wipe her tears. He did not interrupt her, but let her tell him everything that was on her mind.
He knew that Shen Shuli had been feeling depressed recently, and there was nothing he could do except listen.
He understood a mother's love for her child, just like his mother, who died of complications during childbirth.
He was disliked by his father since he was a child.
Because his father loves his mother very much.
Everything was fine when my elder and second brothers were born, but when he was born, the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck.
Either he dies, or...
He was born through a caesarean section. However, his mother suffered heavy bleeding due to the prolonged labor and ultimately could not be saved and passed away.
His father always thought that he was the one who killed his mother, so he ignored him since he was a child.
Even when he grew up, the family business was handed over to his elder and second brothers, and there was no plan to let him join the company.
He thought that if he studied hard and got good report cards, his father would look at him more.
However, his father didn't even look at them. He threw all the perfect report cards into the trash can and always told him not to see him too much and not to disturb his work.
That's why he wanted to study law and become a lawyer, and didn't want to interfere in the family business.
When she met Shen Shuli in college, she was deeply attracted by her temperament of growing up wrapped in love.
She looked like a little princess who had been brought up in a pampered way.
At the beginning, the two of them always happened to study in the same classroom.
Shen Shuli always likes to sit in the first row.
He was behind her, always looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.
Until she came to him with questions, her bright big eyes made his heart fall completely at that moment.
He always wondered, if his mother had not died, would he have grown up so happily?
If he marries Shen Shuli, their child will definitely be like her, right?
He fantasized about it many times, and when he mustered up the courage to confess his feelings, he found out that she already had a boyfriend named Fu Yanci!
If he had persisted more and not quit, would she not be suffering like she is now?
Shen Shuli can make up for what he lacks. He can give her everything, a normal marriage, and all the love.
Instead of endless concealment and deception.
"Ali, Chen Jinglan said that if you divorce Fu Yanci, you can consider me. I can be your safe haven. You know how I feel about you. I've waited for you for so many years, just for this day."
Shen Shuli turned her head away and did not answer. She didn't know how to choose.
Whether it was Shen Jinglan or Mu Huaixu, she had no love for him in that aspect.
From the beginning to the end, the person she liked was always Fu Yanci.
But this relationship is about to come to an end.
Shen Jinglan liked her, she knew it.
For her, he was willing to withdraw again and push her to Mu Huaixu's side.
"Ari, you will always be a little princess in my heart. Only when you are with me can you be a real princess. I will not hide anything from you or lie to you. My love for you has never changed. The divorce lawsuit will begin soon. After it is over, let me pursue you, okay?"
Mu Huaixu spoke of deep affection, but he felt that it would be meaningless if he couldn't be with Chen Shuli in this life.
If they could start, he might be able to rekindle all the feelings he had lost since childhood, and his world would be bright again.
It was difficult for him to be attracted to other girls. He only knew that only when facing Shen Shuli would his heart beat and he would feel that he was alive, not a walking corpse.
Shen Shuli pursed his lips deeply, "Am I worth it?"
Is it worth all of you giving me your all?
Mu Huaixu held her hand and placed it on his heart, "If I think it's worth it, then it's worth it!"
