Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul

Chapter 79: Old Memories



“Not everyone’s deeds accord with his words.”

Judging from Si Wan’s words, Mu Zhishen had left her a positive and great impression. Yue could also perceive his love for Si Wan and that the man knew her better than Gong Siming.

An outsider might regard Mu Zhishen as an affectionate man, but Yue was no outsider. She knew Mu Zhishen’s true color better than anyone else.

That man only loved himself.

Such a man like Mu Zhishen was lethal. Murdered by the man, the victims might still think he was trying to help.

He was a man worse than beasts.

“I’ve known Mu Zhishen for a dozen years, but he has never changed. I believe you are influenced by others.”

Si Wan was telling the truth and believed Yue was influenced by Gong Siming, otherwise, how could she be so hostile to Mu Zhishen?

“You misunderstood me. I bear a grudge against Mu Zhishen not because of anyone.”

Si Wan still couldn’t believe Mu Zhishen would offend Yue so much as to arouse her disgust and even hatred.

She intended to further justify Mu Zhishen but heard the snore from the kid.

Consciously both women stopped talking for fear of disturbing his sleep.

Maternal love was really great. Yue showed more and more of her feminine side.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Except for charm, she became much gentler.

Yue got the kid settled and pulled Si Wan out of the room.

At the sight of her serious look, Si Wan knew what Yue was going to say. It should be about the unfinished subject in the car.

Si Wan got it right. After careful consideration, Yue decided to tell Si Wan all that she knew. On the one hand, she didn’t want Si Wan to misunderstand her; on the other hand, she didn’t hope to see Si Wan hurt.

“Si Wan, what I’m about to say tonight only comes once. Believe it or not, what I’m gonna say are solid facts.”

Si Wan somehow felt a little scared. She was afraid Yue’s following words would subvert her deeply entrenched perception.

“Do you know why my last name is Si?”

Si Wan had thought about it but would not like to bring it up given Yue’s miserable childhood as an orphan.

“Because it is the family name of the man who saved me. He told me I was like a bright moon (Yue) at night that could illuminate the path for those who got lost.”

Yue started to choke with sobs.

“However, he passed out before I could tell him the name that I got for myself.”

“Why did he faint?”

Si Wan wondered.

“To save me, he fought with those who tried to hunt me down and got shot. Those people were sent by Mu’s Family.”

Si Wan found it hard to accept, but Mu’s Family had been doing legitimate business. Laurelled as well-known philanthropists in the imperial capital, how would they try to hunt down a child?

“Because Mu Zhishen saw me on the road and wanted to take me home as his playmate. I refused, and the man happened to pass by and save me.” A hint of hostility flashed across Yue’s eyes.

How could that happen? Mu Zhishen had never compelled her. Back then, he was still a child. How could he compel another kid? Si Wan doubted it.

“I know, you may not believe it, but I can never forget his contemptuous and arrogant gaze as if I was just dirt.” Said Yue.

This was widely different from the positive and warm juvenile that Si Wan knew!

“That man helped me escape and asked me to head for the army with his token. The army sent men to rescue him. But except traces of blood, nothing was found.”

Yue couldn’t help bursting into tears and crying out. Her grief could match that when Si Wan lost her parents.

No words could soothe such agony. Only the person who suffered from it knew the pain.

“From then on, I’ve been in the army. No one told me anything about him. Whenever I mentioned him, they just kept their mouths shut. I’ve been searching for him but without success…”

Yue was devastated and lost control of her emotions.

“All this was caused by Mu Zhishen. Without him, it could be a different story.”

Yue’s fierce and hateful eyes moved Si Wan emotionally.

No wonder Yue hated Mu Zhishen so much. But how could he be that kind of person?

He must have been young and ignorant back then. Otherwise, how could he do such a thing?

Considering Yue’s mood, she couldn’t pour out her heart in case of backfiring.

Maybe she should find Mu Zhishen and figure out the whole thing. Perhaps, the situation could still be saved.

“Later, I went to Mu Zhishen. It’s a pity that I failed to kill him!”

Si Wan was frightened by Yue’s elaboration of the assassination. It seemed she had oversimplified the issue.

“He recognized you today?”

As the idea suddenly crossed her mind, Si Wan asked in an affirmative tone.

“Yes, I guess his investigation led him to the kid. If we didn’t go there today, the consequences would be unbearable.”

Si Wan almost fell uncontrollably if she hadn’t held a table to support herself.

If the aim of Mu Zhishen’s trip was to get the kid, then everything she knew about the man was fake?

If he was really that terrible… Si Wan felt like being fooled.

But deep down she was still justifying Mu Zhishen.

Although Yue felt distressed for Si Wan’s predicament, to know it beforehand could prevent her from getting hurt later.

Now Si Wan needed a moment of herself. Patting Si Wan on the shoulder, Yue went to guard the kid.

Without doubt, Yue’s words had a great impact on Si Wan.

Although she rejected him many times, the man was still positive and considerate to her. Should he have such a dark side?

Si Wan couldn’t imagine if he was really like this, who else could she trust?

In any case, she needed a face-to-face conversation with Mu Zhishen to help her figure out the whole thing.

Without informing anyone, Si Wan went out alone.

While driving, she gave Mu Zhishen a call.

Without even checking the caller, Mu Zhishen picked up the phone and gave an imperceptible smile. Si Wan’s call seemed to be within his expectation.

“That woman really couldn’t keep any secret. So soon she told Si Wan everything.”

His usual optimism and grace had long gone. Now his face was filled with maliciousness and fierceness.

In a Café,

as soon as she got in, she saw the positive and sunny man. How could such a man do that kind of cruel things?

At the sight of Si Wan’s arrival, Mu Zhishen stood up and waved.

His warm smile could melt everything.

“Si Wan, I didn’t expect you to ask me out. I’m so happy.”
