Chapter 133 - Mu Xue’S Unbalanced Mind

Chapter 133: Mu Xue’s Unbalanced Mind

Ever since they’d split up the family assets last time, Old Lady Mu had been unhappy. Previously, she hadn’t wanted a grandson who picked rubbish to disgrace her. In the end, when she had found out that Mu Han could become successful by picking up rubbish, her attitude had changed drastically. She thought that if Li Zhaodi and the rest knew what was good for them and gave her an out, she would take it.

Unfortunately for her, Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng hadn’t even given her an out. Now, things had kind of reached a stalemate between them. It wasn’t like they had completely severed all ties, but they weren’t close either.

Old Lady Mu didn’t say a word. Instead, Third Brother Mu’s wife asked with a smile, “Is Jingzhe back?”

“Mm, she’s back,” Li Zhaodi responded. She hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Sister-in-law, I remember you having some ginseng before. Is that right?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Can you sell some of it to me?”

“Sell some to you? Why would you mention the word ‘sell’ when we’re a family? Do you want to use it?” Although the sister-in-law made it sound very nice, she didn’t even move her butt one bit.

Li Zhaodi knew her sister-in-law’s character. She wouldn’t budge until she was given benefits. “I don’t want to use it, but Jingzhe and Little Bei went to Ocean City and were in a fire…”

As soon as Li Zhaodi finished speaking, she heard someone hiss in pain. She turned around, only to see that Eldest Brother Mu’s hand had been scalded by Tang Moling.

He had been adding hot water to Eldest Brother Mu’s tea. He seemed to not care about Li Zhaodi, but when he heard Jingzhe’s name, he was very sensitive. He couldn’t help but prick up his ears to listen. He hadn’t expected to hear about the fire as soon as he’d started listening in on their conversation.

The trauma of the venomous snake incident hadn’t passed yet. When he heard about the fire, Tang Moling lost his composure again.

The water in the teapot splashed out and all of it fell on Eldest Brother Mu’s hand. Tang Moling only reacted after hearing him scream. “Sorry…”

“It’s okay. I have thick skin.” Although Eldest Brother Mu felt some pain, he recovered quickly and gave him a kindly smile.

Eldest Brother Mu had always been a little afraid of this son-in-law of his. He felt that he couldn’t converse with him or put on the airs of a father-in-law in front of him. However, Tang Moling had always been respectful and would even pour him water.

Eldest Brother Mu thought that Tang Moling was just being careless and didn’t take it to heart. However, Mu Xue’s expression changed.

Tang Moling couldn’t be bothered paying attention to Mu Xue anymore. He was anxious to hear about Mu Jingzhe’s whereabouts and even wanted to rush out to see her like last time.

Li Zhaodi had no idea what Tang Moling was thinking. She waited for a second before continuing.

“Jingzhe has a scar on her face, and Little Bei has some wounds on her body too. That’s why I want to buy some from you. You said before that you have the best ginseng.”

Third Brother Mu’s wife nodded. “Indeed, we have the best. It’s just that we don’t have a lot… but Jingzhe wouldn’t look good with a scar on her face either…”

“Sister-in-law.” Li Zhaodi pulled the sister-in-law away to talk to her about buying ginseng. After she bought it, Li Zhaodi left in a hurry.

The Mu Family continued to speak and didn’t take this matter to heart. No one said anything about visiting Mu Jingzhe.

Only Tang Moling and Mu Xue were a little absent-minded after hearing that Mu Jingzhe had been in a fire. Judging from Li Zhaodi’s appearance, it seemed that it was nothing serious and Mu Jingzhe had only been left with a scar.

However, even though he knew, Tang Moling couldn’t help but feel worried. Alas, he couldn’t run out like last time.

After all, he was already Mu Xue’s fiancé and they were even going to get married at the end of the year. The person he loved was Mu Xue, and she was the one he was responsible for. He shouldn’t be worried about Mu Jingzhe.

Tang Moling restrained himself from worrying about Mu Jingzhe, but the more he restrained himself, the more distracted he became. He looked like his mind was elsewhere, and he was in a state of struggle and hesitation that made him look dazed.

Old Lady Mu thought that he was tired and told him to quickly rest, but Mu Xue’s face turned cold.

She had felt very blessed during this period of time and had even prepared for her marriage. She was filled with anticipation for the future, but at that moment, she was once again thrown off the track.

Just one piece of news from Mu Jingzhe was enough to make Tang Moling panic. Mu Xue couldn’t help but recall what had happened previously.

She wasn’t a fool. She was forced to come back to her senses, as she could feel Tang Moling wavering.

Mu Xue was scared and anxious. He was clearly her fiancé, but why was his heart with Mu Jingzhe?

Ever since she was young, Mu Xue had never experienced such a feeling. She suppressed her anger and called Tang Moling out.

“Tang Moling, do you have me in your heart?”

“What?” Tang Moling was a little frustrated. “Of course I have you in my heart. Why would I get engaged to you otherwise?”

“Then what are you doing now? Are you worried about Mu Jingzhe?”

Tang Moling froze for a moment. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? I’m not.”

“You know best whether you’re worried or not. If you keep thinking about her, just scram and go find her.”

“I said I’m not. Don’t be unreasonable.”

“Who’s being unreasonable? Tang Moling, look at yourself. I’m not in your heart anymore. I don’t want to see you today. You can leave now.”

“You’re kicking me out?”

“That’s right, I’m kicking you out. I don’t want to see you with another woman in your heart!” Although Mu Xue said that, she was actually hoping that Tang Moling would stay.

However, Tang Moling really left. Looking at his departing figure, Mu Xue almost bit her lip until it bled.

At that moment, she suddenly had a vicious thought for the first time—why couldn’t Mu Jingzhe have simply burned to death?

When she realized what she was thinking, Mu Xue was stunned. How could she think like that?

Mu Xue, who was in a daze, didn’t visit Mu Jingzhe.

Later on, after Tang Moling calmed down, he came back to apologize to Mu Xue. The two of them finally stopped throwing tantrums, but their argument had derailed their original plan to meet Tang Moling’s elders.

Tang Moling didn’t betray Mu Xue and didn’t go to see Mu Jingzhe, but Mu Xue knew that he had Mu Jingzhe in his heart and kept thinking about her.

Occasionally, when he heard the villagers mention Mu Jingzhe, Tang Moling’s ears would involuntarily prick up, and his footsteps would slow down.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t do anything, but she still managed to attract Tang Moling’s attention.

Mu Xue felt like the heavens were playing tricks on her. From Shao Qihai to Tang Moling, it seemed like Mu Jingzhe had snatched everyone from her in the end.

Mu Xue had temporarily forgotten that she was the one who had given up on Shao Qihai first. She felt that the heavens were playing a trick on her. Mu Jingzhe was her archenemy. All those who had originally liked her seemed to have fallen for Mu Jingzhe in the end.

She even somewhat understood the feeling that Mu Jingzhe had felt in the past, as she suddenly wanted to snatch him back at all costs.

It was also at that moment that Mu Xue realized that her and Mu Jingzhe’s positions had been reversed.

In the past, she used to be the most promising person in the village. Everyone in the village had praised her and asked her whenever they had questions because she was knowledgeable and cultured. Everyone had respected her, and Mu Jingzhe had been a joke not even worth mentioning.

However, at some point in time, everything seemed to have changed. The most promising person in the village had become Mu Jingzhe. The things she was doing were clearly only something trivial in Mu Xue’s eyes, but the villagers were somehow all in awe of her.

Those who used to come to ask her questions and those who used to praise her had unknowingly turned to Mu Jingzhe.

It wasn’t that they no longer praised her, but they rarely mentioned her now. And when they did mention her, it was because of her promising fiance, Tang Moling.

While Mu Xue was suffering because of Tang Moling, Mu Jingzhe was getting better and better. Her days were flourishing, and the person people talked the most about in the village had become Mu Jingzhe.

Her glow seemed to be suppressed bit by bit.
