C481 Cut Ties with Hua Qinghe
As she walked into the inner courtyard of Hua Family, Mu Qingqing's heart tensed up even more. She didn't know why, but she felt as if the truth was about to surface. However, she might not be able to accept the truth.
"Qingqing, why are you here?" Hua Qinghe had just prepared dinner for Mu Qingqing's favorite fish, the pine nut fish.
Even though Mu Qingqing hadn't been in the Hua Family for a long time, she still remembered to make Mu Qingqing's favorite food.
Mu Qingqing looked at Elder Hua. Seeing that he remained calm, she was sure that she would not tell Hua Qinghe about the island.
"Steve didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Hua Qinghe put down the plate and walked up to hold her delicate hands. She asked softly, "Did you suffer a lot over there?"
Mu Qingqing stared at the mask on her face speechlessly. Too many things had happened recently. She really had to tell Hua Qinghe one by one that they could last for three days and three nights.
"What's wrong?" Hua Qinghe looked into her doubtful eyes with worry. Somehow, she felt a faint sadness from her body. This was not the emotion she wanted to reveal to herself, but rather, an unintentional expression. Mu Qingqing's silence added another layer of worry to her worries. Could it be that something on Steve Bewin's side was causing her to feel immense pressure?
"Nothing, Director Shi gave me a few days of vacation, I want to come over to see you." Mu Qingqing glanced at Elder Hua's direction. Since he wasn't willing to let the matters of the outside world affect Hua Qinghe, then she might as well feign ignorance.
"However, Aunt Hua, we have known each other for over a year and I have never seen your true appearance. Can you take off your mask and let me have a look? " Mu Qingqing thought back to when Mo Xiaoyun asked Hua Qinghe why she wore a mask all day. At that time, Hua Qinghe said she was afraid that her looks would be too ugly. Perhaps she was afraid that Mu Qingqing would see her true appearance.
Hua Qinghe slightly averted her gaze. She could keenly feel that Mu Qingqing seemed to have found out something. Mu Qingqing had never taken the initiative to ask her to take off her mask before. In order to protect her pride, she told Mo Xiaoyun not to ask.
"Qingqing, after you left the Hua Family, Mu Xiaoyun disappeared as well. We sent people to find it both in Country H and here, but we didn't find it. " Hua Qinghe coughed embarrassedly, and brought up the matter that she felt rather guilty about. She didn't expect that after Mu Qingqing was brought away by Steve Bo Wen, her Hua Family couldn't even hold a child in. This topic was indeed a good way to change the topic.
"He is a wandering child, this is not the first time he has gone missing. I will go find him." Mu Qingqing calmed her emotions before asking, "Can Aunt Hua take off her mask and let me have a look?"
Afraid that Hua Qinghe would refuse, Mu Qingqing quickly added, "No matter what you look like, I won't be afraid."
Mu Qingqing used to respect her wishes and was afraid to mention her scars. But now, if Mu Qingqing didn't take the initiative to ask, it was possible that Hua Qinghe was involved in Elder Hua's affair and wouldn't be able to see her again in the future.
Hua Qinghe turned around and pretended to be unhappy. "Qing Qing, this is auntie's scar. You never picked her scar before, so how did it become like this?"
"I thought that my relationship with my aunt was already so good that there was no secret between us. Now, it seems that all of this is just because you think too highly of yourself, and think too highly of yourself. " Mu Qingqing didn't even give her a chance to walk down the steps. Instead, she forced Hua Qinghe to take off her mask.
Hua Qinghe was stunned as she turned around to look at her. Hua Qinghe had spent all her time this year taking care of Mu Qingqing. Of course, she had placed Mu Qingqing in a very important position. When she said those words, Hua Qinghe felt even more guilty. She already felt that she owed Mu Qingqing a lot. Mu Qingqing said that in her heart, she treated Hua Qinghe as a good friend, but Hua Qinghe didn't treat her as an equal. Mu Qingqing was very upset.
"Qingqing, you know, aunty has always liked you as a girl. No matter what delicious food she makes, she will always be the first to think of you. Right now, you …" Hua Qinghe lowered her eyes and started to talk endlessly about how she treated Mu Qingqing well, as if this would explain why she didn't show Mu Qingqing her face.
"Enough, if Auntie doesn't want to pick it, I won't force her. However, Auntie may never see Qingqing again. " Mu Qingqing decisively interrupted her. No matter how hard she tried to explain, Hua Qinghe just didn't want to take off her mask and face her. Rather than letting her stall for time, he might as well make a decision himself.
If Hua Qinghe didn't want to tell her the truth, then she wouldn't force her. After so many years, Hua Qinghe had never appeared.
"Qingqing …" Hua Qinghe was stunned. She naturally understood the meaning behind Mu Qingqing's words. As long as she didn't take off her mask, Mu Qingqing would cut off all ties with her.
This was not the result Hua Qinghe wanted.
"Aunt Hua, this year, I did a lot of things. While I was washing the dishes in the dining room, I kept thinking about what was the meaning of my life. You're the one who told me to be better and happier than the others. " Mu Qingqing held onto Hua Qinghe's wrist. There was also a scalded wound on her wrist. She stared at Hua Qinghe's wound and then pulled Hua Qinghe into the kitchen. With her back facing Hua Qinghe, she lifted up the clothes on her back and exposed her wound to Hua Qinghe's eyes.
Hua Qinghe stared dumbstruck at the wound on Mu Qingqing's back.
"Can you see the wound on my back?" Mu Qingqing asked with an expressionless face.
Hua Qinghe's hands lightly covered the back of Mu Qingqing's delicate skin. She didn't expect that a girl would have whip marks and pits on her back. Mu Qingqing's back was like a wound display board, showing her how much she had suffered over the years.
"Girls' backs are usually smooth and smooth, but I'm not." Mu Qingqing spoke slowly, as if she was talking about the deeds of others.
"Little girl …" Hua Qinghe covered her mouth with one hand as she choked with sobs. The other hand gently caressed the wounds on Mu Qingqing's back.
"I can't be happy, I can't be better off than other people. Even if I were to leave from the Mu Family, the psychological harm they gave me would be permanent. " Mu Qingqing straightened her back and put down her clothes. She faced Hua Qinghe with a calm expression.
Hua Qinghe was completely dumbfounded. Her eyes, which had always been as gentle as starlight, were now filled with mist. Her hand was still on Mu Qingqing's back, and her heart ached so much that she couldn't speak.
"Auntie, I've already shown you my ugliest and most unbearable wound. Can you take off your mask now?" Mu Qingqing stubbornly asked her.1
Hua Qinghe shook her head slightly and looked at Mu Qingqing's brown eyes with repressed eyes. She didn't know why they were in such misery.
Mu Qingqing let go of her wrist and took a deep breath. She tilted her head and said, "If that's the case, then we don't need to contact each other anymore."
After she finished speaking, without the slightest hesitation, she walked in the direction of the guest hall, and left Hua Family without turning her head back.
Yes, she was exceptionally resolute and decisive in her actions. In order to bid farewell to her cowardly self, she peeled herself off from her Mu Family. Since Aunt Qiong died, she found many things to be irreparable.
Therefore, she wanted to declare war on the Mu Family!
Thus, she couldn't be soft-hearted.
If Hua Qinghe chose to be honest with her now, she would stay and listen to what had happened to her more than a decade ago.
Someone had to explain to her exactly what had happened that year.
Unfortunately, Hua Qinghe still refused to speak. Even when he saw her scars, he refused to say anything about what had happened in the past.
When Mu Qingqing walked out of the Hua Family gate, she stumbled and chased after her.
The Hua Family entrance was a large road with zebra crossing drawn on it. Mu Qingqing stood at the side of the road with her back facing Hua Qinghe, and said: "Aunt Hua, no need to chase after me.
It was Hua Qinghe who chose to escape. Mu Qingqing had already mustered her courage to open up her own scar in front of her. Since Hua Qinghe chose to hold back, she didn't force Hua Qinghe to speak of the past anymore.
"My child …" Hua Qinghe clutched her chest. When she was about a meter away from Mu Qingqing, she stopped.
Mu Qingqing still had her back to her and her hands were slightly clenched. She finally admitted it.
"Qingqing, I …" Hua Qinghe wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She was once a gentle, pure, and pure beauty of time. However, the great change had long since extinguished all of her enthusiasm towards the world.
She really did not want to face what had happened more than ten years ago. Even after more than a decade, she could still wake up in the dark of the night from a nightmare. Then she broke out in a cold sweat and told Elder Hua that she couldn't remember what happened that year at all.
He could deceive others, but he could not deceive his slumbering self at night.
"Aunt Hua, since you've already made your choice, you don't have to make things difficult for yourself. I just want to know the truth. My scars may not even be as scattered as yours, but I want you to know that I've never considered you an outsider. "You should go back. I should leave as well." Mu Qingqing turned her back to her and advised her to return to the Hua Family.
Outside, the autumn wind was rising and there was a slight chill in the air.
Hua Qinghe, who was behind him, clutched her chest as she slowly crouched down. She was in pain.
The reason Mu Qingqing came to Hua Family this time, was because she wanted to sever all friendship with Mu Qingqing. If she endured it any longer, Mu Qingqing wouldn't listen to her words even if she wanted to.
"Who doesn't want a family with lovers, parents, and children?" Hua Qinghe stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
Having kept it in her heart for so many years had long since become a dead knot in her heart.
Mu Qingqing slowly turned around and looked down at Hua Qinghe, who was squatting on the ground. She had always been gentle and kind, the kind of kindness that came from the heart. At this moment, Mu Qingqing could hear the unwillingness and pain in her voice.
"I want it too." Hua Qinghe squatted on the ground and sobbed, her heart aching.
