Mother Shi flung her arms angrily as she left. Standing on the stairs, Shi Beiyu turned around slightly to catch a glimpse of his mother’s silhouette, and he was overwhelmed with helplessness.
It has already been 12 years. Why couldn’t they let it go?
Uncle Zhong had been hiding in the corner all along. Only when Mother Shi had left did he dare to walk out. He glanced at Shi Beiyu and advised the latter sincerely, “You’re too impulsive, little Beibei! Why did you make the She-Devil so angry? This will only make life hard for you and little Siyin!”
Shi Beiyu squinted his eyes and murmured, “They have already found out about her existence. There’s no point in backing down now.”
He was very clear on what he wanted. That was why he was rational and resolute when he got Leng Jiuchen to register a marriage license for him and Mu Siyin.
If he did not do so, the old man in the manor would probably beat him to it. By then… even the Gods would not be able to help him anymore.
Mu Siyin did not feel like going home, so she followed Lu Jingchen to his place.
She lay on the bed with her thoughts in a mess.
She could not get the woman in that white dress out of her head. The thought of her placing her hand on Shi Beiyu’s arm lingered amongst her memories.
She had to admit that they looked good together.
While she was in the middle of her thoughts, her phone rang. She lowered her head to have a look. When she realized who it was from, her heart ached uncontrollably.
She did not know what to say to him yet. She just wanted some time alone…
The next morning, Mu Siyin was woken up by the alarm.
She got up with puffy eyes. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she took a deep breath.
Not only did she cry a lot yesterday night, but she could not sleep until it was very late in the night. Mu Siyin really felt like her eyes would go blind anytime.
She initially wanted to put on some makeup. However, since she was at Lu Jingchen’s place, she had no choice but to head to work without it.
She had just arrived at the company when she bumped into Director Wang.
To be honest, Director Wang had always been envious of Mu Siyin’s age and beauty. All the men in her life were rather impressive too.
However, Director Wang instantly knew from Mu Siyin’s puffy eyes that something was wrong.
“Eh? What happened? Why are your eyes so swollen?” Director Wang spoke loudly on purpose to draw the attention of the surrounding employees.
As expected, her colleagues around Mu Siyin looked up from their desks.
Everyone knew that she had a mysterious boyfriend who was rich and good-looking. After hearing what Director Wang said, everyone thought that Mu Siyin was dumped by her boyfriend.
After all, rich men change their women just like how a girl changes clothes.
Mu Siyin smirked. “I just didn’t have a good rest. Why are you making such a fuss over it?”
Director Wang frowned and said, “Oh, are you sure you didn’t have a good rest? I can tell from the swelling in your eyes that you were crying for a whole night. Did someone bully you?”
Mu Siyin sneered. “Thank you for your concern, Director Wang, but no one can ever bully me.”
Upon saying so, Mu Siyin acted like it was no big deal and headed to her seat.
Seeing this, Director Wang folded her arms and snorted coldly. Mu Siyin was most likely ditched by her boyfriend. It was either that or her boyfriend had lost interest in her. The man had probably found a new love interest.
Why else would her eyes swell like that?
The thought of that made Director Wang feel very satisfied.
So what if she was that pretty? She could not keep a man’s heart in the end.
Only half a day had passed, but news of Mu Siyin’s breakup had already spread like wildfire. When Mu Siyin headed downstairs to have her lunch at noon, people gossiped and criticized her no matter where she went.
Mu Siyin was rendered completely speechless. There really were a lot of blabbermouths at work!
Everyone was probably saying that she had cried for a night after being dumped by her new boyfriend.
