Chapter 559: If It Weren’t for Me, He Would Already Be Dead
Lan Yueru straightened her back: "...I know it’s not easy for him, and I also know that Yan Qihua has always been suppressing him..."
Mu Yiliang’s smile grew more sorrowful: "No, you don’t know. The reason Old Sir Yan suppressed him is because he only found out on his deathbed that Si Jue is actually his son! You told him this secret back then to protect him, but he’s been enduring quietly for almost twenty years in order to avenge you..."
Lan Yueru’s face turned as white as a sheet of paper!
Xin’s expression also changed, and he softly murmured, "How could this be?"
It seems she just learned this secret too. After all, it’s not something honorable for Lan Yueru, and even if she trusted Xin, she wouldn’t tell her for no reason.
"Did you ever think that since Old Sir Yan was so obsessed with you, he wouldn’t hate the son you gave him, even if he didn’t favor him? But in fact, to protect his other grandchildren, he always treated Si Jue as a target... He was forced into addiction at fifteen, betrayed countless times by the Yan Family. Later, when FIS was on the right track and Old Sir Yan’s chosen heir was competent, he abandoned Si Jue by bribing those around him... If I hadn’t been there that day, Si Jue would have died!"
Mu Yiliang said while slowly pulling down the collar of her shirt: "This is the wound left by a bullet, originally meant for him... Why has he been acting so erratically lately? Because he recently found out that I once took a bullet for him, so he’s been overwhelmed with guilt, pushing himself to that brink..."
Mu Yiliang closed her eyes, so distressed she could hardly continue!
Lan Yueru looked as if she might faint at any moment!
"Indeed, you made great sacrifices for him... But if you considered him a burden, why did you give birth to him in the first place... Even if you had many unavoidable reasons, what did Si Jue do wrong? He kept this secret, was treated as a thorn in the family’s side by Old Sir Yan, wasn’t he also atoning for you!"
"Stop it... please, just stop..." Lan Yueru went limp, tears streaming down her face as she weakly pleaded.
Mu Yiliang laughed silently... A few words had completely exhausted her.
Ignorance is truly bliss, because knowing nothing means you can live with peace of mind, even standing on the moral high ground, manipulating someone’s life under the guise of being for their own good...
"Others can be dismissed... Why must you push him so hard too..." Mu Yiliang’s voice was so clear it seemed it could be blown away by the wind at any moment, "You can ignore him, you can disregard him, but if that’s the case, don’t meddle in his life!"
"I’m sorry..." Lan Yueru broke down in tears, "Si Jue! I’m so sorry to you...!"
Xin glared at Mu Yiliang angrily: "That’s enough! What happened to Si Jue was just an accident, how dare you place the blame on Aunt Lan?"
"I’m not blaming her, just letting her know some facts..." Mu Yiliang remained expressionless, "Knowing the truth isn’t pleasant at all... That’s why Si Jue is so buried in guilt for what I once did for him... even though I don’t care at all. But he can’t stand others sacrificing for him... because he already has a mother who once sacrificed for him!"
