Chapter 1479: Great to Have You (39)
Mu Wansheng warned sternly, “If you don’t want to be thrown out of my house, you’d better know your place and remain in your seat obediently.”
Wu Pingyang retorted, “I was just concerned about you. Must you throw me out of your house?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell that you were just being concerned.”
Wu Pingyang sat down and shifted her gaze onto Fan Shixin, who was indifferent about their presence. He constantly helped Mu Wansheng to the food, completely ignoring them.
Suddenly unsure of what to say, Mu Qixing said, “By the way, Cousin, I’ve already divorced Luo Hang half a year ago and married another man. He’s Pingyang’s superior who also happens to be my ex-boyfriend. We have two children now.”
Mu Wansheng said, “Good that you’re happy. Luo Hang is not your cup of tea. Are your children both sons or daughters?”
“They’re a pair of twins, one boy and one girl. They’re one-and-a-half years old,” Mu Qixing said with a smile.
“That’s great. I have a three-year-old daughter now too. I’m planning to have another baby.”
Wu Pingyang interjected, “Are you even married yet? Why are you already thinking of having a second child?”
Mu Wansheng answered, “I can get married whenever I’d like. Shixin has already reapplied for a household register for me and my name is registered under his. All we have to do is get our marriage certificate registered at the Civil Administration Bureau. We can get married now as long as I’m willing to. However, we’ve already agreed to get married after we return from abroad.”
“You’re going abroad? Why?”
Mu Wansheng looked up and answered, “To get my eyes treated.”
Wu Pingyang squinted at her to discover that her eyes were still and sparkless.
“Are you blind?”
Mu Qixing glared at Wu Pingyang, hinting for her to mind her words. Mu Qixing then asked, “Cousin, have you lost your vision?”
“Yes.”
Wu Pingyang said in disbelief, “No wonder you refuse to go home. Turns out you’ve become disfigured and blind. Cousin, we’re family. Do you really think we’d mock you?”
“I don’t know if others will mock me but I know you will,” Mu Wansheng said coldly with a faint smile. She knew Wu Pingyang inside out.
Wu Pingyang said awkwardly, “I really didn’t expect this from you, Cousin. I was showing you concern out of goodwill and yet this is how you treat me.”
“I don’t have much to say to you. You two may go home and tell Grandpa that I’ll go home when the time is right.”
Mu Qixing stood up and said, “Alright, take good care of yourself, then, Cousin. We’re leaving now.”
“Sure.”
After they left, Fan Shixin said, “Your other cousin seems like a nice person.”
“I think so too. She’s Pingyang’s half-sister. Her mother refused to see her after her father passed away while trying to save her. She was abandoned in a village and her mother even told my grandfather that Qixing was dead. If it weren’t because of Pingyang’s refusal to marry Luo Hang, my aunt wouldn’t have remembered her at all. However, I think she’s living well now. I’m happy for her.”
Fan Shixin said, “Let’s set off after lunch.”
“Alright.”
——
Mu Qixing and Wu Pingyang returned to the Mu family home to see that the rest of the family were present too.
They informed Mr. Mu of Mu Wansheng’s current situation, after which Mr. Mu opened his eyes and said, “Wansheng has suffered a lot of hardship. Forget it, just let her come home when she wants to. It’s such a pity that she has lost her vision. Fortunately, Chief Fan is around to take care of her, if not…”
He then glared at Mrs. Mu and said, “I know Wansheng’s temper and character too well. I doubt she’ll acknowledge you as her mother from now on. Just prepare yourself mentally.”
Mrs. Mu said, “I’m still her mother and the one who gave birth to her, even if she doesn’t want to acknowledge me.”
Mr. Mu waved his hands in annoyance and said, “Enough. Do you think you still deserve to be her mother after all that you have done? Don’t make her abhor you to the point where she refuses to come home. I didn’t expect that Chief Fan would divorce his wife and end up with Wansheng again. He’s destined to be Wansheng’s husband.”
Although Mrs. Mu was peeved to hear his words, there was nothing she could say back to him. If given the chance to turn back the clock and go back to the time of the accident, she would have made the same decision as she did back then.
However, she did not want Mu Wansheng to die. After all, Mu Wansheng was her only daughter. She was truly sick and tired of living in guilt and being blamed for her daughter’s death throughout the past four years.
Fortunately, her daughter didn’t die.
Even if Mu Wansheng refused to acknowledge her, she would forever be her daughter.
Mrs. Mu felt that Mu Wansheng would definitely forgive her if she were to treat her better from now on.
Little did she know that Mu Wansheng had never intended to forgive her at all.
Mu Wansheng had made up her mind to cut off all ties with her mother.
She did not wish to see her ever again.
Some things just cannot be changed.
Fan Shixin and Mu Wansheng tasked Xiao Bai with looking after Snowman while they were overseas.
They touched down in M Nation before daybreak. Fan Shixin and Mu Wansheng checked into a hotel. They did not feel sleepy at all since they had slept through the journey there. Hence, they took a shower and waited until daybreak.
After having their breakfasts, they headed to a renowned optometric hospital in M Nation with their luggage.
They had already made an appointment prior to their arrival. Hence, they could settle the hospitalization procedures as soon as they arrived.
Mu Wansheng was admitted to the VIP ward.
There was a large queen-sized bed inside the ward, a bathroom, a dining table, a couch, a television, and several other amenities. It was just like a hotel.
After settling the administrative procedures and placing their luggage inside the room, Fan Shixin brought Mu Wansheng for a full optometric checkup.
Mu Wansheng’s hands trembled uncontrollably as she was feeling nervous and anxious.
After examining her eyes, the doctor said, “Four years is a long time to be blind. You should have come right after you found out that you had lost your vision.”
“I did undergo a checkup at the hospital back then, but the doctor said that I won’t ever regain my vision, so…”
“It’s indeed impossible to restore your vision now. Had you come for a cornea replacement surgery back then, the chances of a successful transplant would have been much higher. This surgery carries its risks and not everyone will succeed. However, we’ll try our best to help you.”
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Mu Wansheng deeply regretted her decision to not return to Fan Shixin’s side. However, it was already over and there was no use in regretting it anymore. All she hoped for right now was to regain her vision and see the colorful world again. She still did not know what her daughter looked like.
“Thank you, Doctor.”
“The professor will be here in an hour’s time. You guys may go meet the donor first.”
Mu Wansheng and Fan Shixin proceeded to the donor’s ward.
Fan Shixin arranged for the donor to be warded in a VIP ward as well, which was only a few rooms away from Mu Wansheng’s.
