CH 4

Mu Xiaoke ran all the way home without stopping, and washed himself clean as soon as possible. He didn’t want to recall any memories related to that ferocious huge dog. Such memories were too painful and terrifying. He wished he had never been in this world. If he had never appeared, he would not be killed, and he would not be insulted to the point where he didn’t even have dignity.

But when he opened his eyes, the hot water was still dripping on him, and his hands were still unbearable, like they were stained with blood, dirt, and filth.

No, he can’t let those painful tragedies happen again. God let him live again. Not only to let him change his fate, but gave him freedom. He wants to stop those disasters. In any case, he can’t continue to be so confused. He has to do something, he must do something.

As if he had suddenly awakened, Mu Xiaoke hurriedly came out of the bathroom. He didn’t care that his hair was still soaked with water, and hurriedly went to rummage through the hidden compartments in his closet.

He wants to save himself and the kind-hearted person who was implicated because of him. The first step is to have the ability to survive, and the ability to live by himself with worthiness.

He doesn’t have the beauty of his older brother. The money and power of his older brother. He is still a disabled person who cannot communicate normally with others. It is not easy for him to live on his own, but in any case, he has to try to do it.

Following his already vague memories, he finally found the notes that were laminated.

This is the most precious inheritance left by his mother.

At some point, Mu Xiaoke was woken up by someone, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was his father. His father wrinkled his brows while looking at him, and rarely showed a trace of concern, “Why did you fall asleep without covering your quilt and holding a book?”

Mu Xiaoke was taken aback, he had mixed feelings in his heart. This is not a book. It is the most important work notes of his mother when she was alive, but his father couldn’t recognize it. He really wanted to ask his father. What do you think of your dead wife? What is the value of her life in your heart?

But he couldn’t ask, and he didn’t dare to ask.

He gently put the notes under the pillow, and then said in sign language to his father that he was fine.

At this moment, the door of the room opened again, and it was Mu Kai who came in… and Rong Yanzhe!

Mu Xiaoke feel his blood run cold. Rong Yanzhe’s unfeeling gaze hit him. He felt chill and painful. More than that, Fu Jiayun also came.

The three of them stood together, enough to make Mu Xiaoke frightened.

“How’s Xiao Ke? During the day, you scared Yanzhe ge and those guests.” Mu Kai looked at him with concern, and sat directly on his bed to take his hand.

Mu Xiaoke immediately reacted and avoided him. This act surprised the people around him, or rather, made them very angry.

Mu Xiaoke knew what his dodge would bring, but he still had to hide. He didn’t want to get close to his older brother. He was afraid. Except for Rong Yanzhe, what he was most afraid of was his older brother.

==========

His older brother is very smart. He knew that Mu Xiaoke liked Fu Jiayun a long time ago. Mu Xiaoke remembered that Fu Jiayun had said that the reason why he came to take care of Mu Xiaoke from time to time was because of Mu Kai’s request. In the eyes of outsiders, Mu Kai is a good older brother who is attentive, considerate and did everything seemingly just to act as a matchmaker for his younger brother and the person his younger brother likes. However, this surface has a precondition. Fu Jiayun shouldn’t have feelings for Mu Kai.

However, Fu Jiayun likes Mu Kai. In Fu Jiayun’s eyes, Mu Kai is magnanimous and kind, he is so generous that he can give up his beloved and let the person he likes take care and show tenderness toward his disabled younger brother. But this younger brother is ungrateful, has a wishful thinking, and is narrow-minded. The more Fu Jiayun was asked by Mu Kai to see his younger brother, the more he hated this ungrateful, jealous, and insensitive younger brother.

Mu Xiaoke, who used to be a child, couldn’t see this. He only knew that he liked Fu Jiayun, his big brother, but this big brother is not willing to look at him. He could only desperately do childish things to attract the attention of his big brother. He had no idea that the things he did were simply unforgivable in the eyes of those who were tired of him.

Fu Jiayun hated him more and more, until he went to college later and ran into Fu Jiayun who was holding his older brother and kissing him. His older brother told him the matter clearly.

When he understood Mu Kai’s malicious intentions, he was aggrieved and angry. He hurriedly went to Fu Jiayun to explain. He wanted to expose his older brother’s meanness in front of his sweetheart, but only in exchange for Fu Jiayun’s contemptuous and disgusted look at him. He remembered what Fu Jiayun said at that time, “How can a scheming nasty person like you be worthy of his kindness?”

What happened afterwards… afterwards was probably that the nasty person was exposed by everyone. Rong Yanzhe was willing to accept him, the bad child who was rejected by his relatives and friends. Everyone in those circles praised Rong Yanzhe as a great philanthropist.

Later, even when he died, his older brother said, “It’s all his own fault. No one can be blamed.”

==========

“Xiao Ke… are you blaming your gege?” Mu Kai’s voice brought him back to reality, awakening Mu Xiaoke, who was stuck in his memories.

Mu Xiaoke was very scared when he heard this, here he was again, here he was again… He curled up in a panic, and he couldn’t do anything but apologize in sign language.

The only person present who could really understand his sign language was his father, but his father hadn’t cared for him in a long time.

“Enough!” Rong Yanzhe suddenly whispered.

Mu Xiaoke’s heart was about to jump out, Rong Yanzhe was angry…

“He’s almost out of breath, can’t you see? Sorry, Uncle Mu, we came by mistake, so we will leave.”

Mu Xiaoke raised his head and looked at Rong Yanzhe blankly. Seeing such contemptuous and disgusted eyes in his eyes, Mu Xiaoke breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief. That’s great. Rong Yanzhe hates him openly. That’s great.

As for Fu Jiayun, he didn’t dare to look directly. He knew that he was unworthy, and he didn’t dare to have anything to do with Fu Jiayun anymore.

However, Mu Xiaoke seemed to be so happy that Rong Yanzhe, who had not yet left, felt his lively breathing. Rong Yanzhe was displeased and he wanted to flare up on the spot, but he was concerned of Mu Kai and his father being present. He glanced at Fu Jiayun before leaving, and Fu Jiayun had the same unbelievable expression.

After the outsiders left, Mu Xiangyang looked at his two sons. He had to admit that his younger son’s aphasia made him feel guilty for a long time. His eldest son has now replaced the younger son as the default heir of the Mu family. No one in the Mu family’s circle of friends cares about the origin of the eldest son anymore, but has a lot of complaints about his disabled younger son.

No one is optimistic about Mu Xiaoke’s future. It is already a blessing for the child who can’t even speak clearly to be able to support himself in the future. How can he expect that he can bring any benefits to his family’s company? Therefore, after Mu Xiaoke gradually regained the ability to speak, Mu Xiangyang also became tired of this noisy and pushy son.

When Mu Xiaoke had another accident, it was inevitable that Mu Xiangyang’s memories of the accident before were brought back. Mu Xiaoke was not born mute. It was because Mu Xiaoke was kidnapped by Mu Xiangyang’s business rivals and caused serious psychological trauma, which in turn led him to be a mute.

Now that Mu Xiaoke has a recurrence of his old illness, it must be because he has encountered something again. He is really negligent as a father.

“Xiao Kai, don’t disturb Xiao Ke’s rest. You’ve worked hard today. Go wash and repose.” Mu Xiangyang waved his hand. Mu Kai was surprised, but did not disobey his father, “I see, then I’m out. Xiao Ke, you can rest well.”

After Mu Kai went out, Mu Xiangyang gently touched Mu Xiaoke’s head, “Have you… had dinner?”

Mu Xiaoke shook his head softly, and Mu Xiangyang hurriedly asked the aunt to cook.

Mu Xiaoke looked at his father’s leaving back. His vision blurred again, he didn’t know that his father had also been caring for him, but for him, such care was so distant that it was hard to remember. If his mother was still alive, would his life be completely different?

He secretly squeezed the notes under the pillow.
