Since you abandoned Gu Xiang at first, you should have cut ties completely, not like now, entangled and unbreakable! "Shuang, I’m not blaming you for secretly taking him in, but to harm me for his sake, it’s truly heartbreaking!" Shen Fei’s face was covered in blood, looking at Murong Shuang with deep disappointment. Murong Shuang, however, didn’t feel she was wrong, she stood firmly in front of Gu Xiang, her gaze unwavering, "Shen Fei, I was wrong to hide things from you before, but I can’t agree with you trying to kill Gu Xiang!" Shen Fei’s face turned ashen, blood smeared his face, but he only wiped it carelessly, "So, are you going to kill me for him?" Shen Fei’s voice trembled, tinged with sadness and disbelief. Murong Shuang said nothing, just looked at Shen Fei with a helpless expression. Seeing Murong Shuang , Shen Fei only felt exhausted. He had been with Murong Shuang for so many years, he knew she was spoiled, so he had always treated her like a princess. But he never expected that pampering and indulging her would turn him into a joke! "Shen Fei, I didn’t mean it..." Murong Shuang knew that today, apart from Shen Fei speaking up for her, there was probably no other solution, "Shen Man is also my daughter, I’ve already lost one daughter, I don’t want to lose another, can you understand my feelings?" As Murong Shuang spoke, her eyes reddened, "Shen Fei, do you want me to go through the pain of losing Ah Xiang again?" Seeing Murong Shuang’s swollen, red eyes, Shen Fei’s heart softened a bit. Seeing her grandfather hesitate, Lu Zechuan’s eyes narrowed deeply, while Xia Mian gently curled her lips. "Mrs. Shen, did you truly love Shen Xiang?" Xia Mian’s voice was low and soft, drifting into Murong Shuang’s ears. Murong Shuang’s expression changed, frowning, she looked at Xia Mian, "What do you mean by that? Is there any mother in the world who doesn’t love her child?!" Xia Mian curled the corners of her lips, her eyes shimmering, "Indeed, there’s no mother in the world who doesn’t love her children!" Xia Mian’s words suddenly turned sharp, pressing step by step, "Mrs. Shen, although the Shen family isn’t a top-tier wealthy family, you can still afford a few maids, right? Then, how did Shen Xiang get kidnapped right under your noses?" Xia Mian’s gaze was sharp, her eyes seemed to see through people’s hearts, just one glance at Murong Shuang made her shiver inside. "Human traffickers have means beyond our imagination!" Murong Shuang’s eyes darted away, not daring to meet Xia Mian’s eyes. Beside her, Lu Zechuan’s dark eyes narrowed slightly. His mother being kidnapped as a child, this matter had never been mentioned since his mother married into the Lu family. So much so that Lu Zechuan always avoided discussing his mother’s abduction. Now, with Xia Mian bringing it up, Lu Zechuan realized that the matter of his mother’s abduction had many issues! Indeed, the Shen family wasn’t short of money, there were always people watching over Shen Xiang, but she still got kidnapped! If Xia Mian hadn’t exposed that Shen Man was Murong Shuang’s biological daughter, Lu Zechuan might not have thought much about it. But now, knowing Murong Shuang’s different attitudes towards Shen Man, Gu Xiang, and Shen Fei, Lu Zechuan couldn’t help but think more! "Mrs. Shen." Xia Mian slightly curled her lips, a deep gaze in her eyes, "Was it the traffickers’ great means, or did you do it deliberately, you must know in your heart?" Xia Mian’s voice was soft, each word clearly falling into Murong Shuang’s ears. Murong Shuang’s already pale face turned utterly bloodless. "Is what she said true?" Shen Fei spoke hoarsely. All these years, he had always believed Shen Xiang’s disappearance and abduction was an accident. After Shen Xiang was taken, Murong Shuang cried her heart out every day, he thought she was truly heartbroken. Unexpectedly, it was all an act! "Shen Fei, I’ve lived with you for so many years, you trust this kid more than me?" Murong Shuang’s eyes widened, filled with hurt. Shen Fei laughed self-deprecatingly, yes, he had lived with Murong Shuang for so many years! If he hadn’t lived with Murong Shuang for so many years, had enough understanding of her, the seed of suspicion in his heart wouldn’t have sprouted! Over the years with him, Murong Shuang lived in leisure, concerned only with her own happiness and comfort, when did she ever care about others? "Murong Shuang, didn’t you want to protect the man and woman behind you? I won’t stop you anymore." Shen Fei suddenly changed his tone. The joy in Murong Shuang’s heart hadn’t yet risen before Shen Fei spoke again, "Take them away, from now on, you and I have no ties whatsoever!" Shen Fei finished speaking and turned to walk downstairs. Since Murong Shuang, after so many years, still chose Gu Xiang, he chose to let her have her way! Shen Fei turned and went downstairs, Murong Shuang stood dazed, not reacting for a long while. Shen Fei didn’t want her anymore? Something in her heart shattered with a crash. "Old Shen!" Murong Shuang wanted to chase after him, but thinking of Gu Xiang and Shen Man lying behind her, her legs wouldn’t move. Shen Fei paused for a moment at the staircase, then resolutely went downstairs. In Shen Xiang’s room, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan looked intently at Murong Shuang. With Shen Fei’s departure, Murong Shuang seemed to be instantly drained of her soul, slumping weakly to the ground, her expression vacant. "Old Shen, you deceived me first!" Murong Shuang’s eyes glistened with tears, murmuring to herself, "My Ah Xiang is long gone, why did you bring back an imposter to trick me?!" Murong Shuang gritted her teeth, if it was an imposter, then it deserved to give way to her Ah Man! Lu Zechuan’s eyes narrowed, was his mother not the biological child of the Shen family? "My mother wasn’t your biological daughter?" Lu Zechuan’s voice was low, his gaze on Murong Shuang. After Shen Xiang’s suicide, the Shen couple treated him differently from before. He initially thought it was due to Shen Man’s influence, then Xia Mian discovered they were affected by Gu worms, he thought they were under the influence. Now, Murong Shuang said Shen Xiang wasn’t their biological child?! Xia Mian slightly narrowed her eyes, something exploded in her mind. If Shen Xiang wasn’t the biological child of the Shen family, and Shen Man took advantage of Shen Xiang’s status to enter the Lu family, Lu Zechuan with such a remarkably fortunate life, wouldn’t Murong Shuang be afraid once Lu Zechuan came into power, he might do something to Shen Man? If Murong Shuang wanted to guard against Lu Zechuan, what would she do? The thought barely emerged in Xia Mian’s mind when her heart was suddenly overwhelmed by a storm.
