If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Proofread by Zhou Zhijie

Xia Wanyan has never come back home since she left. Neither has she appeared in front of Mu Ziyou and Li Qiaosheng.

Li has gradually figured out the whole thing according to the information sent him by his assistant. But he dares not mention this to Mu because he has no idea of the true thoughts in her mind.

Mu is still waiting for Xia Wanyan so that she will be able to figure out the whole thing.

However, instead of the appearance of Xia Wanyan, she receives a call from Xia Zhiguo first.

“Hello, who is that speaking?” Seeing the strange number, Mu Ziyou has instinctively planned not to answer. But she finally has to answer it because of its persistent caller.

Unexpectedly, it’s Xia Wanyan’s father. “Youyou, I’m Wanyan’s father and I’m also your… biological father. I got the news that you’re still alive. Can I see you once again?”

“OK, but I don’t want anyone else to see me.” Anyway, according to other people’s knowledge, Mu Ziyou is already a dead person.

So the meeting place is set at her home instead of somewhere outside. More precisely, it’s at the residence where Mu Ziyou lives at present.

When Xia Zhiguo learns that his daughter, Mu Ziyou is living in the traditional residence of Li’s family, the villa, he immediately feels Li Qiaosheng’s special treatment to her. He has thought that Qiaosheng hasn’t known that his ex-wife is still alive and he has intended to find a way to help Wanyan to eliminate some pressure from the public opinions.

But now, it is clear that Li Qiaosheng knows all that has happened and he must still love Mu Ziyou!

“Youyou, I didn’t expect that you have been living within my reach. I’ve heard about your mother’s suicide. Well, if I’d known she was your mother, we could have seen each other once again…”

Xia Zhiguo actually doesn’t have any special feelings for Mu Qing. He just slept with her under the effect of alcohol without much consideration.

But he feels extremely sorry when he learns that Mu Qing was infected with HIV. Otherwise, the life of Mu Qing and her daughter wouldn’t have been so miserable. Xia Zhiguo did leave her his contact information and a bank card for compensation when he took Xia Wanyan away.

However, Mu Qing has a strong personality and has never contacted him.

As a result, Xia Zhiguo nearly forgot the existence of Mu Qing and the other daughter until the video scandal of Xia Wanyan.

“Mr. Xia, you don’t need to blame yourself. The reason why I agreed to see you is not to get acquainted with you, but to find out the truth of those years. My mom told me that my twin sister died immediately after she was born, so… what on earth has happened?”

Mu Ziyou doesn’t expect that Mr. Xia, Chairman of the Xia Group, will have any special feelings for her mother at all, so she also gets to the point directly.

“I actually stole away your sister, who is Wanyan now. And I tricked your mother with a dead baby…” Xia Zhiguo doesn’t hide the truth any more and slowly tells Mu all that she wants to know.

It turns out that she and Xia Wanyan are fraternal twins!

God must be kidding. Her mother is forced to commit suicide by her own daughter…

Mu Ziyou sighs and exclaims a lot. Then she thinks of Xia Wanyan who hasn’t shown up for many days. So she asks Xia Zhiguo, “By the way, Mr. Xia, has Wanyan gone back home? It seems that she has never turned up since she got to know the truth.”

“I thought she has gone back to Qiaosheng, hasn’t she? Where has she gone on earth?” While saying this, Xia Zhiguo suddenly remembers what she said before she left home and his face turned pale, “Oh, my god, if she can’t get over it, isn’t she going to…?”

The mobile phone on the tea table suddenly rings loudly, which startles both of them.

Mu Ziyou picks it up and sees Qin Yang’s number.

“What’s up?”

“Something terrible happened, Xiaoyou. I’ve been working overtime these days and asked an acquainted nanny to take care of Pudding. But little Pudding disappeared together with the stroller when they went out for a walk today!”
