Chapter 855: Chapter 898: Bewitched
Mrs. Mu sighed deeply. Although she was unwilling, she was also full of helplessness, "I don’t regard that bastard at all! But you know our current situation! Until now, you haven’t been able to find a stable job; you can’t aim high, and you can’t stoop low. You look down on poor jobs, and decent families look down on you! If it weren’t for the old man helping us every month, we would have starved long ago! Look at that bastard; his business keeps getting bigger, and the Mu Group now has branches all over the country! Tell me, how can we fight him! Although I’m unwilling, I can recognize reality. We can’t beat him, just can’t! If we hadn’t been defeated years ago, would we have been chased to this city? Rufeng, we need to see the reality clearly and stop dreaming impossible dreams! Ye Anxin is Mu Beiting’s woman. If Mu Beiting finds out you kept Ye Anxin by your side, he will never let us go like last time! Let’s send Ye Anxin back, okay? Completely sever ties with Mu Beiting in this lifetime, never to cross paths again!"
Mu Rufeng gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up, "Mom, I love Anxin. I will only love her in this lifetime! Without her in my life, I’d be better off dead! Now, I’ve finally got her; I will never let her go easily! Do you remember what you promised me? You said you would accept her and be good to her!"
"I did say that! But, this past week, the more I think about it, the more scared I get! Mu Beiting, that bastard is too cunning, too smart! Do you think your diversion tactic with Ruan Zhitong could really fool him? If it can’t, Mu Beiting won’t let you off! I don’t care if something happens to Ruan Zhitong; I have no relation to her! But you, I carried for ten months, and we have relied on each other for 31 years since your father died early. I can’t bear to see you spiral down the wrong path for a woman!" Mrs. Mu, who used to be arrogant and high and mighty, had lost her sharpness after these years of trials and the cold warmth of human relationships.
Before marrying into the Mu Family, she was a rich young lady. After marrying Rufeng’s father, she was the young mistress of the Mu Family! Her always superior lifestyle had fostered her proud and domineering character!
She always looked down on others, especially a son born to someone like Mu Beiting’s mother!
Once, fearing that Mu Beiting would return and snatch away the Mu family fortune that should belong to her son, she several times made deadly moves against Mu Beiting! If it weren’t for Mu Beiting’s incredible luck, he would have died countless times!
But after her and Rufeng’s power struggle plan failed, they were expelled by Mu Beiting to this city!
At first, when they just arrived, she couldn’t see reality clearly, thinking she was still the Mrs. Mu who could have anything she wanted!
But in this unfamiliar city, people didn’t regard them at all, and because they didn’t have any money, others trampled on their dignity and humiliated their character!
She suffered a lot because of this!
Therefore, over these years, her sharp temperament has been worn away, and she slowly recognized reality.
So, she knows better now that to live peacefully, one must be tactful and say what people want to hear!
Her current demands are not high; she just wants to live peacefully!
And she thought they would finally settle down and live a calm life!
Unexpectedly, not long ago, a woman named Ruan Zhitong found them!
Upon seeing Ruan Zhitong, they thought Ye Anxin had come for them because her appearance, height, demeanor, and voice were identical to Ye Anxin!
Later, they found out that woman wasn’t Ye Anxin at all but Ruan Zhitong!
She came to fulfill Mu Rufeng’s long-time dream of bringing Ye Anxin to them.
Ruan Zhitong seized on Mu Rufeng’s unwavering love for Ye Anxin and laid out the entire plan for them!
They then understood that Ruan Zhitong had schemed for many years, preparing to swap identities with Ye Anxin, live with Mu Beiting, and secretly send the real Ye Anxin to them!
Then, they would give Ye Anxin a false identity so she would never leave and could live with Mu Rufeng for a lifetime!
Initially, she thought the plan was absurd and didn’t want to agree! But Mu Rufeng seemed possessed, not only agreeing wholeheartedly to Ruan Zhitong’s request but also threatening her to agree!
She had only one son, Mu Rufeng, in her life, and naturally couldn’t watch him die with open eyes! So, in the end, she compromised and agreed to their plan!
But since Ye Anxin was brought to them, her heart hasn’t had a moment of peace!
Indeed, she regrets it! Regrets agreeing to such an absurd matter!
How clever Mu Beiting is! If Mu Beiting discovers that his wife at home is fake and they have hidden the real Ye Anxin here, the consequences are unimaginable.
She doesn’t want her son to waste his life on a girl not worth it.
Understanding his mother’s concerns, Mu Rufeng quickly reassured her, "Mom, I know what you’re afraid of! Rest assured, Xiaoman will never remember she’s Ye Anxin! She will always live with the identity I’ve set!"
Mrs. Mu frowned and said worriedly, "Is that hypnotherapist you found so reliable? Even if someone loses their memory, they could remember one day! Besides, this isn’t even amnesia, but you used drugs and hypnosis! Hypnosis can sometimes fail!"
Mu Rufeng patted Mrs. Mu’s hand with a smile, "Mom, don’t worry! Ruan Zhitong found the most renowned hypnotherapist internationally, who has never failed! Also, I take Xiaoman for regular check-ups! It’ll be fine!"
Mrs. Mu raised an eyebrow and said disapprovingly, "Are you that confident?"
Mu Rufeng gritted his teeth and nodded firmly, "Yes! I’m confident! Even if I’m not, I’ll make myself confident! As long as I can be with Xiaoman, I won’t give up any chance! This time is the only gamble I can take! If I win, I can be with Xiaoman forever! If I lose, I won’t have any regrets in this lifetime!"
Hearing Mu Rufeng’s words, Mrs. Mu trembled with anger, exasperatedly saying, "You... you... you’re making me furious! What’s so good about Ye Anxin that has you so entranced? There are plenty of good women in the world; why do you only have eyes for an utterly ordinary Ye Anxin!"
