Chapter 404 Promise Me a Thing
"Pay back? You think we care about your life? Several people in our family died. Can your life alone pay for it? I never thought you'd come back now. Even if Mom and Dad were still alive, they certainly wouldn't want to see you. Go away. I won't see you again. But remember, the lives of several family members were killed by you and Mu Pengzheng. I want you to die with guilt!"
Mu Xiaoyu's mother's third sister actually doted on her when they were young. After all, she was her younger sister, and in that environment, the local people were very simple and honest, so there was no scheming or backstabbing, and the family was very harmonious.
The fact that Mu Xiaoyu's mother and Mu Pengzheng can say such things now is enough to show how much harm they have caused to Mu Xiaoyu's family.
If it weren't for Mu Pengzheng, perhaps his family would still be alive and well now. They might not have much money or wealth, but they would still be alive and well, instead of being reduced to the point of family ruin and death.
After saying this, the third sister didn't want to look at Mu Xiaoyu's mother again. She turned around and went back into the house with the other elderly people around her. With a bang, she closed the door and even shut the window that had been open.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother remained kneeling on the spot. When Mu Xiaoyu saw this, she tried to help her up, but the woman dodged her.
"Let me kneel for a while."
Mu Xiaoyu's mother spoke in a hoarse voice. Her tears had dried, but no more tears would come out. Her vacant eyes made Mu Xiaoyu's heart ache.
She wanted to comfort her mother, but the words caught in her throat. She didn't know what had happened, but she knew what kind of person Mu Peng was.
A person who can kill even their own daughter would surely kill their mother's family.
After all, he was her own blood relative, but because her mother's husband died, even if it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to get over this hurdle in her heart so easily.
Mu Xiaoyu felt bad, and she didn't help her mother up again. She just stood quietly by her side and watched over her mother.
They came here saying they were looking for the password to the box, but now, not a single one of them has mentioned it.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother didn't know how long she knelt on the cold mud, until she was about to collapse and could no longer hold on, before Li Chenxu and the others carried her away.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother was already in poor health, and it took Li Chenxu several years to improve her condition. But now, just because she went back to her parents' home for a few hours, she seems to have returned to her original state.
At this time, Mu Xiaoyu's mother was placed in the nanny van. In such cold weather, she had been kneeling outside for nearly an hour, and her body could no longer withstand it. When Li Chenxu and the others carried her into the car, she developed a high fever.
It was fortunate that Li Chenxu's men had made proper preparations and brought emergency medications with them, which prevented his condition from worsening immediately.
"Xiaoyu, promise Mom something."
Mu Xiaoyu had been staying by her mother's side the whole time. Seeing her mother wake up, she quickly took her hand and said, "Mom, we can talk about it when we get back. There's no rush now. You should focus on getting better first..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu's mother shook her head. She gripped Mu Xiaoyu's hand tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "No, I have to say this now, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have many more opportunities in the future."
These words almost drove Mu Xiaoyu to the brink of collapse. She was no longer the naive child she once was, and upon hearing her mother's words, she immediately understood what she meant.
Her words clearly indicated that she felt she didn't have long to live and wanted to settle her affairs before she passed away!
Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to hear it, not at all, but looking at her mother's pleading eyes, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
She couldn't remember the last time she had cried, but now, tears were streaming down her face involuntarily. Her heart felt like it was being tormented on a gallows, and she was in excruciating pain.
"Xiaoyu."
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was just crying and not saying anything, Mu Xiaoyu's mother was also sad. However, there were some things she had to say, otherwise she was afraid that she would really not have the chance in the future.
"Please tell me...please tell me."
Mu Xiaoyu hastily wiped away her tears and gave her mother a not-too-bad smile, saying, "Please tell me what you want to say. I'll do whatever I can. But you have to promise me that you will live well. What Mu Pengzheng did back then has nothing to do with you."
Things have come to this point, something no one expected. Mu Xiaoyu's mother was just an ordinary woman who wanted to be loved. When Mu Pengzheng first got together with her, he treated her very well, and in her eyes, he was also very good to her family. How could she have known that Mu Pengzheng would do such heinous things?
Ultimately, none of this has anything to do with her. If anyone is to blame, it's Mu Pengzheng, that cold-blooded and ruthless person.
Mu Xiaoyu had no desire to make her mother pay for the mistakes Mu Pengzheng had made.
However, when Mu Xiaoyu's mother heard these words, she just smiled, and it was unclear whether she agreed or not. After a few seconds, she said directly, "Xiaoyu, you know my health condition. I can't hold on for much longer. If I'm gone, I hope you can take care of my family for me. You don't need to bring them to live with you, just lend them a hand when they are in trouble."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't speak, but tears kept flowing. She was right; her mother's words were clearly an explanation of her final arrangements.
"Also, about you and Shen Xu... If one day you and Shen Xu can't go on together, don't blame him. No matter what happens now or in the future, at least his feelings for you and his kindness towards you were real, you know? If Mommy is no longer here, you have to live well and be happy, you know?"
"Mom, please stop. Do you know what these words mean to me? You finally got back together with me, are you going to abandon me again?"
At this moment, a huge resentment suddenly welled up in Mu Xiaoyu's heart. She did not expect to be able to have the love of both parents like ordinary people. She only hoped to have her mother's love, which would be enough.
But now, even such a simple request cannot be fulfilled.
