“Chen Ye, what do you mean by this? Are you just here to sow discord? You’re just a child. What right do you have to stick your nose into other people’s affairs?” Qi Huiyin questioned angrily.
However, Ning Wenhao could not be bothered with this woman. He continued to say to Mu Xigui, “Do you know why I treated this little girl so well back then, but not your stepdaughter? It was because as a neighbor, I couldn’t bear to see this little girl was only treated well when you were around. When you weren’t around, these two would bully her. And in order to not make things difficult for you, this little girl would swallow her anger every time. That was why I could not help myself from protecting her.
“Back then, this little girl suddenly fell into the river because your stepdaughter took a fancy to the Barbie doll that you bought for her on a business trip of yours. She thought that the Barbie doll her sister had was more beautiful than hers, so she fought to the death to snatch it away from her. However, the little girl was unwilling to give it to her, so she pulled even harder. In the end, your stepdaughter did not win the fight and fell to the ground. Your wife saw this. When the little girl bent down to help your stepdaughter up, she was so angry that she rushed up and gave her a hard push.
“The little girl didn’t pay attention and stumbled back a few steps. She tripped on the raised cobblestone and fell right over it.
“The bridge’s fence was broken, so the little girl fell straight off the bridge. I jumped into the river to save her, but the current was very strong and fast. Although I was a good swimmer, I couldn’t bring her ashore safely. When we finally neared the shore, I was so exhausted that I had to throw her as hard as I could. I could swim no longer. Luckily, she managed to grab onto a clump of flowers by the riverbed and keep herself alive.
“But my luck wasn’t so good. I was washed away by the current and hit my head on a rock. By the time the people downstream found me, I was unconscious and close to death. Later, my mother took me back to my father’s house. My father asked the best brain doctor in the world to treat me. Only after six months did I wake up from my vegetative state. However, after I woke up, I could not remember anything.
“I only regained my memory some time ago. However, because I was out on a mission, I did not have the time to rush back to Jiang District to see this little girl. Yesterday, when I returned after completing my mission, I discovered that the little girl had actually been drugged by someone and was about to be raped. I crippled that creep. Uncle, guess who gave that creep his idea?”
At this moment, Mu Xigui’s aura seemed extremely dark. He looked at Qi Huiyin, his voice was so cold that his words were practically ice shards.
“Back then, when you begged me to marry you, what did you promise me?”
Panic flashed past Qi Huiyin’s eyes flashed, and it did not elude Mu Xigui’s gaze. In an instant, his aura grew even more terrifying.
“Xigui, don’t you know what kind of person I am? We have been married for 15 years! You know how I treat Qingxuan. How can you glare at me like that just because of an outsider’s words? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be disappointed in you?”
“Qi Huiyin, when I married you, I said that the only person I would ever love in my life was Qingxuan’s mother. I married you not because I loved you, but because Qingxuan needed a mother.”
