Chapter 73, it can't be what I'm thinking, can it?
"Let go! Let's talk this out. First, let go of my hair!"
Yu Rushuo cried out in pain, clearly not expecting someone to turn their fire on him without saying a word.
Upon seeing that her mother had actually laid a hand on Ru Shuo, Tu Mumu, who had never resisted despite being verbally abused before, immediately got up from the ground, rushed over, grabbed Ye Lishan's hair, and pulled her out forcefully.
"Let go of me! You can hit me and curse me all you want, but why are you hitting Brother Rushuo!"
In just a short while, the three of them were locked in a fierce struggle, neither willing to let go first. It was only after several bodyguards from the An family separated them.
Even after being pulled away, Ye Lishan didn't stop, continuing to berate Tu Mumu:
"I've never seen anything like it! How could I have given birth to such an unfilial daughter? You have money but don't give it to your own mother, instead giving it to some random guy you don't even know. Just like your father who died young, you only know how to betray your own family and always side with outsiders!"
"I won't allow you to insult my dad!" Tu Mumu finally broke down when Ye Lishan mentioned her father. "If it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't have died. You're the one who killed him! How dare you insult him!"
"It's all your fault! If Dad were still alive, you wouldn't have bullied me like this. You don't deserve to be my mom!"
Tu Mumu cried and shouted, large tears rolling down her face. Her eyes were red as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had held for so many years.
Ye Lishan was also startled by Tu Mumu's broken cries. A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face. She opened her mouth as if to deny it, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.
The ward finally quieted down, with only Tu Mumu's occasional sobs remaining. An Jun finally had the opportunity to question Yu Rushuo.
"Yu Rushuo, what exactly happened? Did you let Mumu get close to me and orchestrate all these scams? What was your purpose? Was it just to swindle money from me?"
An Jun now completely believed the information An Ling had shared, but he still wanted to hear an answer from Yu Rushuo in person.
Yu Rushuo was An Yun's senior when she studied at the music academy, and they have been friends for seven or eight years now.
If Yu Rushuo were willing to ask him for help, An Yun would have no choice but to help. Why choose to hurt him in this way?
Sigh, he's a gambling addict. He knows how much his gambling addiction would damage his reputation if the outside world knew, so of course he doesn't want his second brother to know.
[Borrowed money must be repaid, but swindling money is free as long as it's not discovered. Besides, he's betting that even if his second brother finds out he's been scammed, he'll let them off for Tu Mumu's sake.]
If he could just shift the main responsibility to Tu Mumu, he might be able to get away unscathed. Look at how cunning he is!
As expected, Yu Rushuo admitted his mistake quickly, but his words were full of attempts to shirk responsibility.
"I'm sorry, An Jun. I know I was wrong, but it was all Tu Mumu's idea. You see, I don't even know her mother. How could I possibly conspire with her and her daughter to deceive you? It was all her idea. I was just really short of money and that's why I made a mistake."
"Can you forgive me this time? Mu Mu, quickly apologize to An Jun. Considering you once saved him, he definitely won't make things difficult for you."
The An family members rolled their eyes at his shameless behavior.
Yu Rushuo is so unscrupulous because Tu Mumu listens to him in everything. He thinks that Tu Mumu will definitely understand his hints and then admit everything in front of the An family.
He knew that An Yun had always been obsessed with the person who saved his life that he had been searching for for thirteen years, and he calculated that An Yun would most likely not be able to bear to hold Tu Mumu responsible. However, he did not expect that the problem would actually lie with Tu Mumu.
After Yu Rushuo said those words, Tu Mumu's expression of disbelief became even more pronounced, as if she had witnessed something that overturned her understanding of the world.
"How could this be? How could you say such a thing? You're not that kind of person..."
Tu Mumu initially murmured softly, but her voice grew louder and louder, and she began to deny reality.
"Impossible, impossible! You're supposed to be protecting me, how could you put all the blame on me? This is absolutely impossible!"
Tu Mumu now looks somewhat neurotic, as if the fact that Yu Rushuo shifted the blame to her is completely impossible in her mind, and the blow to her is even greater than the scolding she just received from her mother.
After muttering to herself for a while, Tu Mumu suddenly lunged at Yu Rushuo. Her movement was so sudden that the bodyguard who was holding her didn't have time to react before she broke free.
She grabbed Yu Rushuo by the collar, shaking him violently while demanding in a shrill voice:
"Say it again. That wasn't your true thought, right? You were supposed to protect me. You wouldn't say something like that. Say it!"
"You are crazy!"
Things suddenly went beyond Yu Rushuo's expectations, and he hurriedly shook off Tu Mumu.
"What's gotten into you all of a sudden! Did I say something wrong? You've been lying to An Yun from beginning to end, haven't you? I haven't done anything to him!"
Tu Mumu was pushed to the ground. She looked up at the man who was still avoiding her gaze, tears streaming down her face as she shook her head, seemingly still unable to believe what had just happened.
Those present, including Yu Rushuo himself, were somewhat baffled by the current situation.
“Something’s not right. Tu Mumu’s current behavior makes it seem like Yu Rushuo’s image in her mind has completely collapsed. Does she think Yu Rushuo is supposed to be a very responsible person? How could a responsible person encourage her to be a liar?” Qiu Nian asked An Ling softly. “Do you know what’s going on?”
"Huh? How would I know?" An Ling's answer was somewhat guilty, because she would find out soon enough.
[Tu Mumu's behavior is really strange. Let me investigate.]
Before An Ling could even begin her investigation, Tu Mumu started crying out to Yu Rushuo again, "But you used to protect me! Why have you become like this?"
"What are you talking about?" Yu Rushuo thought she must have lost her mind. "Don't go crazy here. Don't try to drag me into what you did."
Tu Mumu crawled to reach Yu Rushuo's leg, grabbed his trouser leg and wouldn't let go, and looked up and shouted:
"Five years ago! Five years ago, on the day of your concert, right there on Linshan Road, you protected me and saved me. I thought you would always protect me. Why did you suddenly change?"
Tu Mumu's mental state was clearly off, and she was speaking incoherently and incoherently, so Yu Rushuo couldn't understand what she was saying at all.
But An Ling and An Yun were both taken aback for a moment, "Yingshan Road?"
[Yu Rushuo held a concert five years ago? Yingshan Road? Why does that name sound so familiar?]
I remember my second brother was a guest performer at that concert, and I went with him because we almost missed it due to some issues on the way.
[Holy crap! It can't be what I'm thinking, can it?!]
