《If We Cannot Grow Old Together》C20. Attempting to Separate Them
Advertisement
When Mu Ziyou was sent to their home, even she herself didn’t know her mother had been infected with HIV.
And before the outbreak of Mu Qing’s illness, Li Qiaosheng did have some good memories with Mu Ziyou, because at that time he viewed Mu Ziyou as an orphan who was abandoned by her parents. From his point of view, Mu Ziyou was very poor and boarding in their home and he was supposed to treat her kindly.
But later, he overheard his parents quarrel and got to know that Mu Ziyou’s mother was his father's first love. According to his mother, Mu Qing was a shameless mistress who seduced his father. Therefore, he also changed his attitude when facing Mu Ziyou.
Especially during the period when Xia Wanyan came to visit Mu Ziyou but actually she was seeing Li Qiaosheng, he also got to know many secrets from Xia Wanyan.
For example, Mu Ziyou’s mother was engaged in “that kind” of occupation in Japan.
Mu Ziyou even doesn’t know who on earth is her father.
Besides, Mu Ziyou and Xia Wanyan were supposed to be best friends, but Qiaosheng always noticed Mu Ziyou bullying Xia Wanyan, which made him form an uneducated and bad-behaved impression of Mu Ziyou and which alienated him from her further.
However, are all these false?
After hearing Zhang Lan’s words, Li Qiaosheng stepped into his father’s study for the first time after his father’s death. In that drawer, he found a lot of hand-written letters, photos and so on.
The letters were written a long time ago. Some are love letters written by his father to Mu Ziyou’s mother and other are innermost thoughts and feelings that Mu Ziyou’s mother wrote to his father.
He reads through all letters one by one and finally figures out what kind of emotional entanglement was among the last generation!

In fact, Mu Ziyou’s mother and his father were their first love for each other. Their life was really happy and sweet when they were together. And even the name “Mu Ziyou” had already been named by then because the Chinese characters “Mu” and “Zi” together form the word "Li"!
They had an agreement that if a girl was born, she would be named after the mother’s family name, and if a boy, he would be named after the father’s family name.
But sweet and happy life didn’t last long. After Mu Qing’s best friend, namely, his mother Bai Yun met his father, she fell in love with him at first sight. And she designed all kinds of schemes, attempting to separate them.
But because his father trusted Mu Ziyou’s mother, misunderstanding between them could be resolved very quickly every time even if it kept appearing ceaselessly. Until the relationship between them was found out by their families, his father’s family were opposed to their relationship because of the poor background of Mu Ziyou’s mother. Instead, he and Bai Yun were expected to get married.
Bai Yun also knew it, so she designed more schemes and finally forced his father to marry her.
So, in fact, his own mother was the one who separated his father and Mu Qing!
What is more heartbreaking is that Mu Qing’s terrible occupation experience in Japan was also caused by Bai Yun. She ordered several men to sexually assault Mu Qing by turn and then sent her penniless to Japan!
No wonder his father on his deathbed asked him to make sure that he would take good care of Mu Ziyou, and he absolutely prohibited him from divorcing. His father also said that if he chose to end their marriage, he would surely regret for it in the future.

But as for what exactly the regret means, Li Qiaosheng has not figured it out yet .
However, he is now really regretful for his misunderstanding and hurt to Mu Ziyou when she was alive and who is now dead! No, no, he must find her burial place, at least... he can express his apology by her grave!
"Mr. Li, we searched every cemetery in this city, but did not find a woman called Mu Ziyou, or anyone with the same name."
"What?" Hearing the assistant’s report, Li Qiaosheng stays stunned for a moment.
But soon, another hope inexplicably lights up in his heart. Is it possible that Mu Ziyou actually is not dead?
How could such a tenacious girl die so easily?
Might Not Be Thoroughly True ahead.
