1254 I Want to Make You Stay 132 (2/2)

Zong Jingyi sneered, ”Are you worried sick? You can drop the pretense and save the hypocrisy. You beat the living daylights out of your daughter and probably broke her legs. You were so cruel with her. Wouldn't you be happier if she was dead?”

”I'm asking you, where did you dump her?”

Zong Jingyi guffawed at the sight of tears welling up in her eyes. He remarked sarcastically, ”You've got such great acting chops. It's a shame you didn't join the showbiz industry. I dumped her…”

He proceeded to tell her the exact address.

Mrs. Mu grabbed her purse and bolted out of the door. She then zoomed inside her car and frantically rushed to the destination.

She constantly prayed in her heart, Please don't let me see her corpse. Please don't let her be dead, please don't!

Just like she had prayed for, she did not find Mu Wansheng at the site.

Mrs. Mu felt as if a boulder had been lifted off her chest.

Does this mean that she had been rescued?

But who would pass by such a remote place?

Surely she can't have been devoured by wild dogs or something?

I doubt it. If that was the case, there would definitely be traces.

She repeatedly tried to comfort and reassure herself that everything was fine. As soon as she returned home, she hurriedly told Old Mr. Mu about the situation.

”Regardless of whether she had been rescued or gone into hiding, I won't send anyone to look for her.”

Dumbfounded, Mrs. Mu said bluntly, ”But she's your daughter too, are you really going to give up on her?” She was not afraid to say it out openly because there was no one else in the room.

Glowering at her, Old Mr. Mu snapped, ”Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting!?! She's your daughter and my granddaughter. Don't get that mixed up! I don't want to hear such things from you again. I'm not giving her up, she's just too willful and insensible. She was the one who gave up on the Mu family. She's not fit to be a member of the Mu family. I no longer have a granddaughter like her. She has nothing to do with us from now on!”

Mrs. Mu took a deep breath and said, ”I'm upset at her for being so disobedient too. However, she's still my daughter at the end of the day. Father, just send some people to look for her in all the hospitals. She's injured and penniless. I don't know where she had gone to either. She's my only daughter, you can't leave her in the lurch.”

”I told you, I'm not going to look for her. Are you deaf?”

Mrs. Mu clenched her fist and said, ”I'll go look for her on my own, then.”

”Suit yourself. You gave birth to such a useless thing. She's nowhere comparable to Pingyang! I wonder who she takes after. What a dimwit!”

Mrs. Mu stormed off angrily upon hearing his words. She returned to her bedroom and fumbled around for her bank card, which she then placed inside her bag. She put on a pair of flats and left the Mu family home.

She headed to a few hospitals nearby before going to the First People's Hospital.

She asked the front desk if there was a patient named Mu Wansheng. However, she was told that Mu Wansheng had not been admitted to this hospital.

Fan Shixin instructed the hospital staff to keep it a secret, so as to protect Mu Wansheng and himself from Zong Jingyi.

Hence, Mrs. Mu could not find her at all.

Pangs of panic engulfed her.

Upon hearing that Mrs. Mu had visited the hospital, Fan Shixin informed Mu Wansheng about it when he arrived in the evening.

”She… came to look for me? Is she here to see whether or not I'm dead yet?” Mu Wansheng quipped with a lopsided smile.

”She couldn't find you. There's something I must tell you. I hope you'll adhere to my instructions,” Fan Shixin said while staring at her earnestly.

”What is it?”

”No matter who you see in the future, don't tell them that I was the one who had saved you.”

Extremely puzzled, she gave his words some thought and asked, ”Are you worried that Pingyang would get upset?”
