Han Muzi was rendered speechless. Think for myself? “Do I need to?” She blinked while looking at Han Qing with confused eyes, as though she was baffled by what he had just said. “I’m fine. Qing… please tell me. Didn’t the rescue team go out today? What the hell are they doing? How can they leave him there and do nothing?” The more she said, the more agitated she became. Then, she gave Han Qing’s hand a hard push as she wanted to get down the bed.
“Enough!” Han Qing scolded her in a stern voice. “The rescue team did go out today, but they went to pull up corpses!”
Han Muzi stopped all her movement and sat there in a daze After a long, long time, she lifted her head and glanced at him with an emotionless face. Later on, she seemingly sneered. “What do you mean?”
“Muzi, as my little sister, you’re not a foolish person. You should be clear about what I’m saying.”
Han Muzi gave a mocking smile. “I should be clear? Qing, are you saying that Ye Moxuan is dead?”
Han Qing’s pupils shrank at her words. The word ‘dead’ had been floating around in his mind, but he did not dare to say it out, so he could only beat around the bush. He was surprised to hear her saying it out loud. He did not respond, but he placed his hand on her shoulders and took a deep breath before speaking in a soft voice, “Don’t worry. You should sit down first. The doctor will come later to give you a thorough check.”
“Qing, even if he is dead, I still want to see his body with my own eyes. Otherwise… I won’t accept it.” Han Muzi raised her head to look at Han Qing—eye to eye. “I understand the words you said previously, but if you’re saying that the rescue team went there to pull up corpses, then where is Ye Moxuan’s body?”
Han Qing pressed his thin lips. “It’s normal for them to not find the body in such a turbulent sea.”
“How is that normal? Why can they find others but not his?” As she talked about it, she suddenly thought of something and held on to Han Qing’s sleeve tightly. “Qing, do you think it’s possible… that Moxuan didn’t even fall into the sea? He is such a smart person, so he definitely knew how to control a parachute properly. He might not necessarily have landed near the sea area. Maybe… he landed somewhere else. Qing, do you think it’s possible?”
This was mentioned to Han Qing by Su Jiu before, but he did not give it much thought. However, after Han Muzi explained to him convincingly, it planted the notion inside his mind, so he pressed his lips. “There is a chance that he might have landed on somewhere else. Don’t worry. All you need to do now is stay in the hospital and recover your body. I’ll send someone to look for him near that area right away.”
Han Muzi nodded vigorously. “You must find him. I believe that he won’t abandon me. He just reunited with me and his son. He will definitely not abandon us.” A smile crossed her lips as though she had just seen a ray of light in the dark.
Seeing her like this, thousands of emotions popped up inside Han Qing’s heart. It was so complicated that he did not know what to say. Of course he knew that the bigger the hope, the deeper the disappointment later on. But what else can I do now? As long as there is still hope, even a little, shouldn’t it be done also?
After Han Qing told her that he would send someone over, Han Muzi finally felt relieved. However, she was unable to sit down quietly and wait in the hospital, so after waking up the next evening, she insisted to be discharged from the hospital so that she could follow everyone to find Ye Moxuan.
Han Qing became a bit mad at her. “You know clearly what your body is like now. You really want to be sick again before he is found? If you are so certain that he didn’t land on that sea area, then you shouldn’t be so careless like now and follow everybody to find him.”
Han Muzi was dumbfounded. Yes. I… believe in him.
“Instead, you should stay put in the hospital to recover your body and wait for him to find you.”
Wait for him to find me? Han Muzi lowered her eyes and thought for a while. She thought about it for so long that Han Qing suspected that she would refuse him. To his surprise, she nodded and said to him in a soft voice, “Alright. I’ll stay here and wait for him to find me then.”
Han Qing was shocked as he did not expect her to listen after what he had just said. Looks like… she wasn’t kidding when she wanted to give Ye Moxuan all her trust.
…
After the plane crash, the media quickly brought the news back to North City. It only took a day before everyone in North City knew that Ye Moxuan of the Ye Group had an accident. After they learnt about the accident, everyone knew that the famous lady of the Han Family, Han Muzi, was left alone at the wedding. The grand wedding that was envied by countless people fell through just like that.
When everyone knew about the ending, most people sobbed and sighed at the unpredictability of life. Of course, while there were people sobbing, there were also people who mocked it.
“Serves them right to hold the wedding abroad. If they just held the wedding in the country, then none of this would happen, right? Rich people always like to do lots of tricks. Now look at them… Gone!”
“You’re actually right. They could have just simply chosen a place in the country to hold the wedding and spend the rest of their lives happily. Why did they even need to go abroad?”
“It really serves them right to admire everything foreign, right? What a great accident!”
Someone who remained quiet throughout the conversation suddenly spoke, “It’s not right for you all to talk like that. People will always strive for a better life. Is it wrong for the Young Master Ye of the Ye Group to show his deep affection for his lovely wife-to-be by holding an unforgettable wedding for her? If he has the ability to earn that much money, then he is completely entitled to tell the whole world who he loves, especially when it is between two big families. What happened to them could only be explained by the unpredictability of life and misfortune.”
“Are you trying to be funny? Why are you talking for them now? Did they pay you to say this?”
“You can’t say it like that. Even we don’t know what our fate is going to be like tomorrow. Can you guarantee that you will be safe and carefree for the rest of your life?”
The person was left speechless. After being called out, he simply stopped speaking and let out a grunt before leaving.
Inside a western restaurant, after she saw the news, Meng Xueyou let out a maniacal and terrifying laugh that shocked the people around her. All of them turned their head toward her and watched as though she was insane. However, she refused to care about the expression in their eyes. She only knew that she was exceptionally pleased inside.
Initially, she wanted to make life a living hell for them after knowing that they were getting married, but Han Qing unexpectedly sent people over to keep an eye on her, so she could not do anything. Great. Then I guess I’ll just keep on cursing the two of you.
“Han Muzi, you never expected this, right? My curse actually worked. You two… really can’t be together. You won’t be happy together.” As she continued laughing, she suddenly felt a little sad while seeing news about Ye Moxuan’s accident. After all, she… liked him! Back then, he was her love at first sight. Everyday, she thought about having that man all to herself and that was why she did those series of things.
