Chapter 968: The Truth Back Then V
Although Mu Ling did not know who had saved him, he knew that Chen Qingyan truly cared about him.
He was truly moved by the things that Chen Qingyan had done for him the two times when he was in danger. Hence, he had decided that he would never let Chen Qingyan down.
The old master said that the time when Mu Ling was severely injured… must be the time when his heart got stabbed. Mu Ling had no idea how he could survive the calamity, but he had always thought that it was god’s will and that he was meant to stay alive.
‘The old master is saying that… Suyi saved me?’ Mu Ling felt a gripping pain at his heart as if someone had pinched his heart.
What had Suyi done? How much had she sacrificed to save him?
“Father…” Mu Ling walked up to the old master, his legs were trembling. His face was sickly pale and his eyes were filled with agony.
He could recall that not long ago, the old master wanted to tell him something, but he had faltered and changed his mind. After that, as Chen Qingyan had lost consciousness, Mu Ling did not ask further.
There was once when Mu Ling had gone to see the old master and asked him about it, the old master had merely played a fool and did not tell him anything
Hence, Mu Ling had always thought that whenever something happened to him, Suyi would run away. It was Chen Qingyan who had always been staying by his side, taking care of him.
He thought that Suyi had never loved him. It was all his one-sided feelings.
One ran away when something happened while the other one was willing to risk her life to save him. Naturally, Mu Ling would choose the latter.
Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan were playmates during childhood and had grown up together. It was true that they had feelings for each other. However, the old master did not allow them to be together. After that, he met Suyi. As Suyi was intelligent, smart, and elegant, he could not help falling for Suyi’s gracious demeanor.
Mu Ling had always been true to Suyi. Although he thought that Suyi did not like him, he wanted to make her stay by his side for the rest of his life.
Why… why must he know this now? What about the thought he had back then?
“Father, what did you just say?” Once again, Mu Ling took a few steps forward.
The old master grabbed the cup near him and hurled it at Mu Ling.
“You get out of here! I did not say anything. Get out of here now! Don’t harm Suyi!” Apparently, Mu Ling could dodge the cup. However, he did not do so.
The cup slammed right at his forehead, blood could be seen oozing out of the wound, running down to his eyes.
“You get out of here!” The old master snarled.
“Father, tell me when did Suyi save me. Please tell me!” Mu Ling bit his lower lip lightly.
“I don’t know. I have no idea at all! You must not look for Suyi! Get out of here!” The old master’s face reddened with fury, his chest was heaving with each angry breath.
“Old Master, since Manor Master has heard about it, there is no need to hide it from him. Why don’t you tell him?” The old butler stroked the old master’s chest as he heaved a sigh.
Back then, Suyi did not tell Mu Ling the truth as she had loved him. In the end, Suyi did not want to tell him as she was completely disheartened.
Suyi had always wanted to get rid of Mu Ling. If Mu Ling knew that Suyi saved him before, he would continue to hound her. However…
When the old butler heard the old master’s words, he felt that there was a need to let Mu Ling know the truth. Even if Mu Ling would hound Suyi, he must let Mu Ling feel remorseful.
Moreover, he did not want Chen Qingyan to continue credit for Suyi’s deed.
