Before the age of ten, Mu Qian's life was stable and happy.

Although Mu Huaian, as a not very successful painter, had to support Rong Qingzi and her with a meager income, and his life occasionally became a bit hard, Mu Huaian and Rong Qingzi were harmonious and loving. Mu Qian, as the daughter of two, grew up in a loving family since childhood and never knew what sorrow was.

It was not until Mu Huaian passed away that her world changed.

Mu Qian still remembers that Mu Huaian walked in the winter when she was ten years old.

At that time, he had been tortured by illness and was out of shape, and was skinny and bone-skinned, and he was struggling to survive every day in the hospital bed.

Rong Qingzi was by his bedside every day and night at that time, and she didn't cry or make trouble. The spoiled woman who had never touched her fingers in front of her suddenly became a good wife and mother, and took care of her husband conscientiously.

But even so, Mu Huaian still couldn't survive that winter.

He passed away in the hospital without even waiting for New Year's Eve that year.

After Rong Qingzi finished his funeral alone, she began to go out to find a job.

But she hadn't gone out to do anything for so many years, and she had no skills. She seemed to have nothing except such a beautiful face.

In such an environment, she could not find any good job.

Even so, she still gritted her teeth and supported her. She couldn't control herself and cried bitterly late at night.

Mu Qian knew why she cried.

Because they all lost the most important person, the man who originally thought he could rely on but relied on for the rest of his life.

He used to be their heaven, and when he left, their heaven collapsed.

Rong Qingzi struggled to support him independently, but he couldn't support the sky no matter what.

That's why she cried and collapsed.

But after a brief collapse, the next day, she returned to normal and continued to go out to find a livelihood.

That night, after she came back, her whole body changed.

Mu Qian clearly remembered that night when Rong Qingzi looked at her, there was endless disgust and coldness, as if she was not her daughter, but a monster.

She was still young at that time and had just experienced Mu Huaian's death. She was in panic. She couldn't help but pull Rong Qingzi's hand and called her in fear: "Mom..."

"Don't call me! Don't call me!" In an instant, Rong Qingzi's emotions collapsed again, just gritted her teeth and spoke word by word, "Don't call me mom again! I'm not your mom!"

Mu Qian was so scared that she cried loudly.

Rong Qingzi also cried bitterly and did not sleep all night.

That night, Rong Qingzi took her back to Tongcheng and threw her to the Huo family. She turned around and flew to the United States. Since then, she has not returned for many years.

...

"That day, that day, someone must have said something to my mother." Mu Qian was nestled in Huo Jinxi's arms and spoke softly, "Someone must have told her some lies, making her think I was the child born to her father and Sheng Lin, so she collapsed, made her resent her father, and let her leave me..."

And in this world, only Lu Yuchuan and the people around him are those who know about this.

Mu Qian actually had no idea that he had met Lu Yuchuan when he was a child. However, it was Lu Yuchuan who told Lu Yuan that he had met Mu Qian more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, he went to Huai City to pay homage to the woman he loved.

But unexpectedly, he met Mu Huaian who was leading Mu Qian in the cemetery.

At that time, Mu Qian was still ignorant of the world. Even though she had just visited an old friend with her father, she was still happy, and she was lingering Mu Huaian's arm and laughing and making noise.

It was a very beautiful and harmonious picture, but the smile on Mu Qian's face was too eye-catching.

The little girl who had not yet grown up smiled like the girl in his memory.

Lu and Chuan passed by their father and daughter, but their minds were filled with the smiling face just now.

When he walked to Sheng Lin's tombstone, he happened to see the flowers and sacrifices placed in front of the tombstone.

Lu and Chuan suddenly turned around, but the figures of the father and daughter had already disappeared at the entrance of the cemetery.

After returning to Tongcheng, Lu Yuchuan ordered people to investigate Mu Qian's life experience.

The conclusion he got told him that Mu Qian was the child born to Sheng Lin, but her father was Mu Huaian.

Now it seems that this result is obviously tampered with someone. Who is the one who tampered with? Mu Qian once analyzed with Lu Yuan that it is likely that it is Lu Yuchuan's wife Cheng Huiru.

If Cheng Huiru really tampered with the identification results, then she would be the one who knew the truth and would be the one who hated her.

For a big man like Lu Yuchuan, it is a great shame to have a child for another man by his beloved woman and will never be publicized.

For Cheng Huiru, Lu Yuan was already annoying enough, and Mu Qian was simply humiliating again and again.

But she couldn't move Lu Yuan under Lu Yuchuan's nose. Mu Qian, who Lu Yuchuan thought was the flesh and blood of other men, could she always move?

So, she told Rong Qingzi a fake "truth", perhaps the purpose was to get Mu Qian from Qingzi's hands and torture him wantonly, so as to offset the hatred in her heart.

But unexpectedly, Rong Qingzi sent Mu Qian to the Huo family.

From then on, the Huo family became Mu Qian's shelter. She was a member of the Huo family, and this identity was the best protection.

...

"Lu Yuchuan only told Yuanyuan that after seeing me, he felt that I was very similar to Sheng Lin, so he went to investigate my life experience. Obviously, the life experience he learned was shocked and angry, but for the sake of me being very similar to his beloved woman, he was willing to let me go." Mu Qian continued, "But what about dad? Does he really have any grudges to my dad?"

After hearing this, Huo Jinxi was silent for a moment before speaking: "When was he seeing you?"

"October." Mu Qian replied slowly, "Short after that, my father suddenly entered the hospital, and two months later, he was gone."

While saying this, Mu Qian's tone was calm, but one hand couldn't help but hold Huo Jinxi tightly.

"What disease?" Huo Jinxi said again.

"I can't remember it." Mu Qian said, "At that time, he and his mother were afraid that I would be afraid and never discussed the condition in front of me. I only remember that it was the gastroenterology department, and the attending doctor was Zhang Guoping, who we met last time... I left in such a short time, which should be the so-called advanced cancer? But my father has always been in good health and he has no sign of illness at all. How could he have advanced cancer all of a sudden? He only stayed in the hospital for two months, and he became thinner and thinner to the back. I almost didn't know him anymore... I don't know if he was really sick, or if someone had been torturing him secretly?"

After hearing this, Huo Jinxi slowly lowered his head and kissed Mu Qian on the forehead.
