Chapter 827: Go Back and Wait for Me! (7)
In the end, Xu Qingru was too sleepy and fell asleep, but Sheng Jiayu couldn’t fall asleep.
To avoid disturbing her mother with her tossing and turning, Sheng Jiayu returned to her room with her pillow.
When she went out just now, she left her phone charging on the bedside. When she returned, she found several missed calls and two new messages on it.
All the missed calls were from Mu Ke. Sheng Jiayu instinctively wanted to call him back, but the moment she saw the text messages, her hand suddenly stopped.
The two text messages were from Mu Ke and Mu Xin.
"I miss you."
Mu Ke’s message was just three words, very short.
But Mu Xin’s was much longer: "Sister Sheng, my brother finally managed to persuade our parents. He hasn’t been well during this time. When you see him, try to comfort him more..."
There was a lengthy passage after that. The more Sheng Jiayu read, the more it hurt her heart.
Ms. Wang was discharged the next day, but she still ordered Mu Ke to break up with her. Mu Ke refused, but he couldn’t upset his mother further, so he knelt outside her room for the entire night.
Later, Mu Xin didn’t know why, but the Yang Family suddenly came over, and after the parents of both sides discussed, they wanted Mu Ke to get engaged to Yang Yushan. This immediately ignited all of Mu Ke’s anger, and of course, he wouldn’t agree. So, he was grounded and began a hunger strike, locking himself in his room, refusing to come out, and not allowing anyone to enter.
This situation lasted for three full days, the entire Mu Family’s relationships plummeted to freezing point, and Ms. Wang finally gave in, unable to outlast her son.
She released Mu Ke and no longer concerned herself with any of his matters. Her exact words were: "Marry if you want, I don’t acknowledge it."
Whether it was Mu Ke being confined or his hunger strike protest, it all sounded too clichéd, too melodramatic, but Sheng Jiayu only realized how painful it all was when it happened to her.
Tears welled up in Sheng Jiayu’s eyes, and she dialed Mu Ke’s number without hesitation.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off..."
The cold voice of the woman on the phone echoed, and Sheng Jiayu looked at the time; it was nearly one in the morning.
She put down the phone, lay back in bed, and stared at the ceiling, even more unable to sleep.
Her mind was filled with the words in Mu Xin’s message. Besides stating the facts, Mu Xin also mentioned something.
With Mu Ke’s temperament, if his opinions clashed with those of his family, he would not bother seeking their approval, just like when he insisted on studying medicine and fell out with the family. Back then, Mu Ke simply went out to work with a calm demeanor. No one could change his mind. If the family didn’t want to support him, he didn’t care; he could earn money himself.
At that time, he didn’t think about anything, just resolutely moved forward, but this time it was different.
If he was still following his past temperament, he wouldn’t have cared about his family’s opinions at all. Once Ms. Wang’s health improved, he would return to B City, then regardless of anything, register his marriage with Sheng Jiayu. As for whether they agreed or not, he wouldn’t care.
But he didn’t. Instead, he used the most extreme methods to force his parents to agree. Not getting their support but achieving a neutral stance was already the most he could do.
A sharp pain hit Sheng Jiayu’s heart again. Such a proud and aloof person kneeling and going on a hunger strike for her.
How could he be so foolish?
Accompanied by tears and endless heartache, Sheng Jiayu didn’t know when she finally fell asleep. In any case, when she opened her eyes, it was already past nine in the morning.
The weather outside was nice, and the temperature seemed to be warming up.
