Mu Yan walked over, took the flowers from his hands, and reproached, "It’s just a birthday, there’s no need to be so extravagant."
His health wasn’t good to begin with, there was no need to waste time on such trivial matters.
"Of course it is, after all, it’s your zodiac year."
"But I’ve heard that zodiac years are full of disasters."
Mu Chen wasn’t pleased and said, "Sis, can’t you stop jinxing it?"
Seeing his stern face, Mu Yan quickly said, "Alright, I was wrong, I won’t talk nonsense anymore."
Mu Chen pouted and asked, "Sis, what’s your birthday wish this year?"
Mu Yan laughed, "Of course, it’s for you to get better soon."
"Something related to yourself."
"Isn’t this related to me? If you get better, I’ll be happy."
Mu Chen looked at her, and for some reason, tears suddenly fell from his eyes.
"Chenchen, don’t cry." Mu Yan said hurriedly.
Mu Chen turned away, "I’m not crying."
"Alright, Chenchen’s not crying." Mu Yan smiled, handing him a tissue.
Mu Chen sniffled, wiped away his tears, and after a long while, said, "Sis, I’ll strive to live on."
"I’m relieved to hear that." Mu Yan smiled.
She was actually very afraid that Mu Chen wouldn’t hold on, after all, he’s the one who has suffered the most lying in the hospital bed for these years.
No freedom, yet still enduring the torture of illness, with bleak hopes—how many people couldn’t endure and chose to give up?
After keeping Mu Chen company for a while, Mu Yan received a call from Ruan Xinyu, who specifically called to wish her a happy birthday.
Sometimes she felt that Ruan Xinyu was like her mom, caring for her meticulously.
Soon after, a call came from an unfamiliar Beijing number, Mu Yan directly rejected it.
No need to guess who it was, she didn’t want to hear this person’s voice at all right now.
Didn’t he like Liang Rong and her daughter? Then let him go with them, why bother with her?
Trying to use this to alleviate his guilt? Dream on!
In Beijing, in the president’s office, Zhuang Shaoyang made several calls to Mu Yan, tried several SIM cards, all ended up being blocked.
His heart was filled with bitterness, this child really wanted to sever ties with him completely.
Yet at this point, even he felt that his mistakes were outrageous.
Today is his daughter’s birthday, even if she doesn’t care about him, as her father he should do something for her.
No, this is what he owes her and her mother.
While pondering this, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, his face turned stern, how could she still have the nerve to call him, or did she think things through?
Thinking of this, he answered the call, only to hear a woman’s sobbing, "Shao Yang, Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao..."
Zhuang Shaoyang’s heart skipped a beat, asking, "What’s wrong with Jiaojiao?"
"This morning I received a bunch of photos, in the photos Jiaojiao was surrounded by a group of filthy men... Shao Yang, I’m so worried about Jiaojiao right now." The woman choked back sobs, seemingly very upset.
Zhuang Shaoyang’s expression slightly changed, "What exactly happened?"
"Shao Yang, I know what I did was wrong back then, but this shouldn’t be revisited upon Jiaojiao, come at me if you must."
If it were before, Zhuang Shaoyang might have comforted her a bit, but now, knowing what kind of person she was, he felt no sympathy at all.
"Where is Jiaojiao now?"
"Upper City."
Zhuang Shaoyang’s anger flared, "What is she doing in Upper City?"
"So much happened over the New Year, she said she wanted to clear her mind."
At this moment, Zhuang Shaoyang wished he could give Zhuang Chujiao a good beating, "Who are you kidding, why can’t she relax somewhere else, why does it have to be Upper City? What is she thinking, you think I don’t know?"
