EndlessFantasy TranslationEndlessFantasy Translation It was getting cold at night. Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi were at the lounge area inside their room in the Mu residence. Ah Mo made sure Mu Lingshi drank the tocolytic tonic because she had been acting anxiously for the past few days. The doctor reminded them to be careful, or else, it might affect the baby. Shocked, Ah Mo was being very careful right now. I think theres a need for you to take a look at whats inside this thumb drive. Everyone might find out about this tonight. Have a look. Ah Mo handed a thumb drive to Mu Lingshi when he took back the mug from her. He had copied the file from Li Si. Whats this? Mu Lingshi was puzzled. Its about your parents Ah Mo lowered his head. Mu Lingshis eyes darkened, but she did not take it. Apparently, she did not want to know what was inside. Please take a look. You might feel better once you know what happened. You cant always stay ignorant and not know anything about their past, he tried to convince her. Mu Lingshi went quiet for a while before taking the thumb drive from Ah Mo who led her to sit on a sofa before getting a laptop and placing it on the coffee table in front of her. She put the thumb drive in and opened the video file. Mu Zis face appeared before her eyes. Mu Lingshi sat there and watched the video, but she closed it halfway and could not continue. At times, you look at me. At times, you look at the clouds. I think that its far when you look at me, and its near when you look at the clouds Mu Lingshi sighed and repeated the poem that appeared in the video. Sadness overflowed from her as she felt a pain in her chest. She took several deep breaths before turning towards Ah Mo who gave her a grim look as well. Shes one unfortunate woman. Sure, shes pitiful, but I dont really feel anything else other than that, Mu Lingshi said. Why didnt they think of Lingtian and I, even just a little? If they didnt plan to be together, why did they still have us? Do they know that their irresponsible actions brought upon great inconvenience to Father, Mother, and Brother? And even killed GrandmotherThe dead will never understand the pain of the living Mu Lingshi put on a bitter smile. I feel like my tears have already dried up. I cant cry anymoreI feel so sad for having such selfish parents. Grandmother really died for a bad cause. Lingshi! Ah Mo was very worried. He wrapped his arms around her and tried to comfort her, Alright, Lingshi! Itll pass soon! Things will be fine very soon. Brother will do something about it. I dont need it! Sometimes I just wonder why they didnt die instead. Why did it have to be Grandmother? What else do they do apart from bringing us pain? Ah Shi, Mother has her own reasons. She still loves you and Lingtian, or else, she wouldnt have risked her career to give birth to the both of you! Ah Mo said quietly. Mu Lingshi did not seem convinced. Maybe youre right. She might actually love us, but she still prioritized her relationship more. Lingtian and I couldnt even compare to scum! She isnt my mother. I dont have a mother like her. My mother is Zhuang Shurong forever and ever! That woman has no right to be my mother! Mu Lingshi shook her head and pushed Ah Mo away. Then, she got up and went outside. In shock, Ah Mo quickly got up and followed her. Lingshi, what are you doing?! Be careful! Mu Lingshi ignored him completely and vanished out of the doorway. Thump! Thump! Mu Lingshi was rushing downstairs. Whats the matter? Where are you going this late at night? Mu Yinans voice reached Mu Lingshi as she just got downstairs. She stopped and raised her head, then shesaw Mu Yinans exhausted expression before her. Mu Yinan looked like he had aged much more ever since Wang Hui left. His gray hair had turned all white, and he looked like a host without a soul. He had been staying in the study room these past few days as he stared into Wang Huis photos. He forbade anyone from disturbing him until he was too tired and went to bed. Grandfather Mu Lingshi felt heartbroken seeing her grandfather like this, so her eyes clouded over. Grandfather, Im sorryI didnt know that things would turn out this way. I thought itd be fine if I just ignored it! I didnt expect Grandmother toIts all my fault. I killed her Mu Yinan began to tear up when he heard Mu Lingshi blame herself. He patted her shoulder and said, Its already in the past now. We should face the facts and move on. You children arent guilty. How is that your fault? Your mothers matter has always been a huge concern for your grandmother, so we couldnt bring it up all these years. We were afraid that she might not be able to take it, but we couldnt escape that fate after all Mu Lingshi nodded and hugged him. Yes, she couldnt run away from it, so we have to face it head-on. Brother has been burdened with so much. Grandfather, please let us work together to get through this hurdle.
