After so many years, Liang Zhous wounds had long scabbed over and became a part of her. She numbed herself to the pain and deluded herself that her life was as beautiful as she used to imagine it would be. She told herself over and over again that Mu Qing loved her deeply, that she was the rightful Madam Mu, and that one day, she would return to the Mu family as Madam Mu.

She knew that Mu Qing had secretly been making preparations to return to the Mu family. She was naturally delighted. It was her dream to return to the Mu family. She wanted to be Madam Mu and rightfully replace Liang Zhen and erase all traces of Liang Zhen. She had always been looking forward to that day. Moreover, she had no doubts that day would come. After all, she had absolute confidence in Mu Qing. For this reason, she was able to endure the endless humiliation by Jiang Jin and the disrespect Mu Chen showed her.

Now that her illusion shattered, her heart shattered along with it.

Mu Chens words were like knives stabbing at her heart. It felt like he had stabbed her heart before twisting the knife.

Mu Chen twisted the proverbial knife further into Liang Zhous heart as he said, You dont believe me? Im not surprised. After all, these words are too cruel. Unfortunately, its true he struck a deal with Grandma. Why do you think he let go so easily this time? You should know how long he had planned to return to the family and how thorough his plan was. Even if his plan was exposed, was it not a pity to give up just like that?

Mu Chen paused for a moment and sneered. He gave up so easily because Grandma said he had broken the agreement they had and threatened to expose his wrongdoings in the past. She would rather tarnish the Mu familys reputation than let him off. In the end, hes still a coward like before. He apologized very quickly and begged Grandma to spare him on account of his age. He used you, saying that youve been punished enough. You lost the ability to give birth, and because of that, Id be the only grandson. He even said that if Grandma exposed him, it would affect my reputation. Once again, Grandma compromised because of me.

Mu Chens sneer deepened. As for you, you became his shield once again. You became a tool for him to gain sympathy. Do you know why I told you not to compare me and Song Ning with both of you? Its because theres no love between both of you at all; how can you compare? Love is mutual. Yours, unfortunately, is just wishful thinking. Mu Qing has never loved you. Everything is just your wishful thinking, Aunty!

Mu Chens emphasis on the word Aunty seemed to be the last straw for Liang Zhou. She wailed loudly.

Mu Chen looked at her and slowly rose to his feet. He pointed at the villa across the street and said, You didnt have a good look at the woman, right? However, it doesnt matter I suppose. Let me tell you, shes not Mu Qings only lover. He has several villas and several lovers.

He only cares about himself and what benefits him. The women love him and are willing to live and die for him. Theyre willing to do anything he asks of them. All he had to do in return was provide them with a house and living expenses when what he gains from them is much more than that.

As for you, your value is the lowest. Apart from being his shield, you have no other uses. Hence, he doesnt need to spend much effort coaxing you. Theres no need for that after all.

Liang Zhou had stopped crying a while ago. The pain was so intense that she had grown numb.. Perhaps, it was her bodys way to preserve her sanity.
