Chapter 742 Mother's Intuition

Chapter 742 Mother's Intuition　　Mu Chenyan passed her phone to Raelle who looked at the photo with interest. Shui Xian's eyes inadvertently fell on the phone's screen and looked at the man in that photo. For a moment, Shui Xian was stunned.

"No wonder, mom never liked seeing Tang Hebe," he commented.

Shui Koshing heard his son's voice and said, "How could she? Tang Hebe was not only the daughter of the man she hated the most in her life, Tang Hebe also resembled the man Qian Yin once loved. You can say Qian Yin had the most complicated reaction when it came to Tang Hebe."

Instead of inheriting her own parents' looks, Tang Hebe looked more like her uncle who was already dead by the time she was even born. And whenever Qian Yin looked at that face, she was reminded of that man whom she once love with all her heart. But at the same time, she was reminded of how it was Tang Hebe's father that destroyed everything for her.

"I should have listened to mom," said Shui Xian particularly aggrievedly. "I shouldn't have insisted on being with Tang Hebe back then."

Mu Chenyan was still trying to figure out why Raelle was interested in the photo of her mother-in-law's ex-boyfriend. And that ex-boyfriend was even dead for so long. But knowing Raelle, she won't show interest in things without a reason. It was just that it was difficult for Mu Chenyan to figure out Raelle's interest at the moment.

If she thinks about how Raelle said she was interested in Tang Mu because of how highly Mu Chenyan spoke of him, although there wasn't anything wrong with those words, however, those words were not enough to convince Mu Chenyan.

And while she was still lost in her thoughts, she heard Shui Xian's statement and frowned.

"Son-in-law, you need to take it easy here," said Mu Chenyan. "Let me tell you something. I have had two mothers in my life. One is my birth mother and the other is my foster mother, who happened to be Raelle's grandmother. But I'll tell you honestly that in all my life, I have only disappointed them." She didn't mind telling the truth about her glorious deed at all. "Mothers often have very scary intuitions. I don't remember my birth mother all that much. I was very young when she died. But I still remember something she said to me. She said, 'Chen'er, mom is worried about you. Mom thinks you are gonna give people a headache.' And guess what? She was right. As for my foster mother, she said, 'Ah-Chen, do you realize how worried I am about you? Let me tell you, one day Heaven is gonna give you something you'll be scared to lose. And only then you'll understand what kind of worries you put me through.'"

Raelle blinked her eyes, thinking that it seemed to be somehow related to her. 

And sure enough, Mu Chenyan continued, "And then that foster mother of mine put a little girl into my arms before taking her last breath. Can you believe how her words came true? Today, I lose my mind if there is even a scratch on my Elle's body, I can't even imagine what I put my godmother through when I used to come back black and blue. Sometimes, even stained in blood." She sighed, "But even after everything, did I stop disappointing them? I don't think so. The point is, son-in-law, sometimes we like to believe in ourselves more than others. There is nothing wrong with that. However, when you have put all your trust in your own judgment, then even if you fail, you have to take all the responsibility for it as well."

"Chenyan, you talk too much," said Shui Koshing. "Let's leave now. My daughter-in-law needs to rest."

Mu Chenyan agreed, "Yes, we should leave. Xian also needs some time alone." She rubbed their heads lovingly and said, "Bye, babies! I'll come to see you later."

As Shui Koshing dragged her out, he gave her a look, "Put a stopper on your mouth. You almost told them everything."

Mu Chenyan's brows knitted up and she nodded, "Indeed. I almost slipped up but why are you still hiding it from Xian? I thought when you looked for me back then to help you find out everything about that incident, you wanted to give an explanation to your children?"

Shui Koshing shook his head, "When I asked you to look into the matter, Xian was already married to Tang Hebe. What explanation could I give him?"

"But now, they have long divorced," reminded Mu Chenyan.

"So what? You think I should reveal everything so that my son could suffer even more? You think he hasn't been suffering enough? Xian has always been an emotional person. Just the things you revealed are enough to make his guilt eat him alive."

Mu Chenyan tsked at that, "I don't understand you people. Can't you be just honest with your kids? If I started keeping so many secrets from my Elle, she'd have long roasted me alive with her words. You might think kids won't understand where you're coming from but trust me, they also have their own thoughts. Especially now that they are adults and deserve to know the truth." She pursed her lips and didn't want to continue but recalled something and cursed, "Fuck! Shing Ge, you won't be able to keep it quiet for long."

"What do you mean?"

"The way you stopped me from continuing couldn't escape Elle's eyes," said Mu Chenyan. "Her perception skills are higher than others. Shui Xian was lost in the turmoil of his emotions but Elle was clear-headed. She heard and saw everything more clearly than Xian. There is no way, she didn't realize that we are hiding something."

Shui Koshing rubbed his temples feeling resolute. He could only sigh to himself as he said, "I'm gonna go and learn about Tang Hebe's condition. You wait here or come with me?"

"I'm not interested in her," Mu Chenyan. "Elle didn't allow me to punch her. So, I'm not interested at all."

Shui Koshing shook his head at her, "Then you wait here. I'll be right back."

Mu Chenyan pushed her hands into her pocket and looked at the patients coming and going, feeling bored. And that's when she heard someone calling her...
