Chapter 186 - 186: I’m A Bastard
Mu Yao sighed in disappointment. “Why don’t I run away from home and go to the countryside too? I heard from them that you’re the daughter of a rich family who lost her way and was adopted in the countryside. Your background is miserable, but I think you’re not bitter at all. Instead, you’re very happy. You’re real and not pretentious. You’re much better than those daughters of wealthy families. I want to go to the countryside too.”
Bei Shuo asked her with a smile, “Who did you hear this from?”
Mu Yao didn’t think much of it. “Those servants, chauffeurs, and tutors. Do you think they all don’t say a word when they work? No, as long as they’re out of the employer family members’ sight, they will talk about their family’s matters. I eavesdropped on them.”
“Eavesdropping on the servants? You—” Bei Shuo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Mu Yao sighed. “I had no choice. I was bored. I could only listen in on the various families to relieve my boredom. I also know that my handsome second brother is in a relationship with Miss Shen Family. Miss Shen is the same as me. She’s a mistress. However, her mother is lucky and is now the legitimate Mrs. Shen. My mother is not, so I’m also discriminated against by my schoolmates. What can I do? This is fate!”
“Do your schoolmates discriminate against you?” Bei Shuo frowned and looked at Mu Yao with heartache.
Seeing this, Mu Yao found it funny. “Are you sympathizing with me? What’s there to pity? This is the truth. My mother is a mistress, and I’m a bastard. I can’t see the light of day. Even if I like any man in the future, his mother might be picky and despise me. Who would be willing to let their son marry a bastard—”
“Mu Yao! What nonsense are you talking about?” A stern voice interrupted Mu Yao.
Bei Shuo turned around and saw Lin Jun standing at the door in a beige casual suit. Her expression was extremely ugly.
Bei Shuo stood up and nodded at Lin Jun. She turned around and saw that Mu Yao had averted her gaze when she saw her mother. She looked like she didn’t want to talk to anyone.
Bei Shuo reached out and touched Mu Yao’s head. “Alright, Mommy is here to see you. I’m going back.”
Mu Yao grabbed her hand. “Are you coming tomorrow?”
Bei Shuo smiled and said, “If you’re not discharged tomorrow, I’ll come and see you after class. I’ll bring you whatever you want to eat.”
“It doesn’t matter what I want to eat. What’s important is that you have to come and accompany me,” the little girl said pitifully.
“Alright, I’ll accompany you and bring you some delicious food. I’ll make it for you personally.” Bei Shuo couldn’t bear to see Mu Yao in such a pitiful state, so her heart softened and she agreed.
Only then did Mu Yao let go of her hand reluctantly.
Bei Shuo nodded at Lin Jun. “I’ll head back first.”
“I ll see you off,” Lin Jun said very politely.
Coincidentally, the snacks from Jiuze House arrived. Mu Yao cheered. “Mom, hurry up and send Little Sister-in-law off.”
Bei Shuo was a little surprised. Wasn’t she looking forward to her mother’s visit?
Lin Jun scolded with a smile, “Glutton! You’re not allowed to eat too much, or I’ll come back and teach you a lesson!”
Mu Yao hugged her snack box and smiled happily.
At the door, Bei Shuo said politely, “There’s no need to send me off. Stay with Mu Yao. She’s been looking forward to you for a long time.”
Lin Jun said as she walked, “She complained to you, right? Don’t listen to her. This child is used to pretending to be pitiful. I heard that you were injured and hospitalized previously, but it’s not convenient for me to visit you. Thank you for coming to accompany this little troublemaker, Mu Yao.”
It turned out that there were no secrets in this family. Mu Yao knew about her background, and Lin Jun also knew that she was injured and hospitalized. However, the two of them were very calm when they mentioned it, making it difficult for others to say anything.
“Oh, it’s fine,” Bei Shuo said politely.
“How are your injuries? Have you completely recovered?” Lin Jun asked with concern.
Bei Shuo nodded. “It’s fine. It’s just a superficial wound. It didn’t hurt my muscles or bones,” Bei Shuo replied.
The two of them walked out naturally as they chatted. Lin Jun sized up Bei Shuo and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect our little devil to have the same temper as you. This child is in a rebellious phase and is very resistant to her father and me. Sometimes, we don’t know how to face her. I have an uninvited request.”
Lin Jun glanced at Bei Shuo. “I would like to ask you to interact with her more when it’s convenient. Even if you don’t meet her, it’s good to talk on the phone. It’s very important to guide adolescent children properly. At this time, it’s not easy to determine their parents’ identities and roles. Moreover, if she says that she’s a child with an awkward identity, she’ll be even more sensitive. Bei Shuo, adult matters have nothing to do with children. Mu Yao shouldn’t bear all this..”
