Chapter 95 Revenge
Mu Xia lowered her gaze silently. Ye Sijue couldn't tell what was on her mind because her eyes weren't visible to him.
Just when Ye Sijue thought he wouldn't get an answer, she suddenly looked up. "Revenge."
"Huh?" Ye Sijue thought he was hearing things.
Mu Xia stared at the landscape outside and revealed, "I came back to take revenge for my mother."
"Revenge?" Ye Sijue was astonished. He immediately realized who she was talking about. "Oh, you mean Madam Situ… No, Mrs. Mu. Rumor has it that your mom committed suicide because she suffered from depression. You don't think she killed herself?"
"Of course not!" Mu Xia stated firmly. "I don't remember my childhood clearly, but there are snippets I remember. There are clues to prove my mom didn't commit suicide. For example, the moment she died, the Mu family became the Situ family. Also, I couldn't find any traces of my mom in that house. I'm pretty sure she was murdered instead."
Ye Sijue's gaze grew dark. "Who do you suspect? Your dad?"
Mu Xia nodded before shaking her head. "I'm not sure. It's either him or Aunt Xinyue. Perhaps they both did it together. I'm still investigating the matter. When the truth is revealed, I shall make sure the culprit gets punished!"
Ye Sijue inclined his head. "No wonder you said you're busy. If you discover your dad was the culprit, what will you do?"
"I'll make sure he gets what he deserves," came Mu Xia's calm reply.
She wouldn't let him off easily!
"Got it." Ye Sijue stared at her. "If you need my help, just let me know. You don't have my business card, but you have my number. Just give me a call."
Mu Xia lowered her gaze. "Thank you."
Strangely, Ye Sijue's words gave her a sense of security.
Before she realized it, he had become her pillar of strength and support.
Ye Sijue inquired, "By the way, do you want me to call off the collaboration between my company and Situ Group?"
Mu Xia stiffened. "Didn't you say you'll call it off?"
"It depends on you," Ye Sijue responded, his gaze tender.
Warmth spread in Mu Xia's heart as she told him, "Go ahead and call it off. Qingshan's too annoying, so I want her to shut up for now."
"Got it," answered Ye Sijue with a nod. "If you want me to resume the collaboration, just call me."
Mu Xia suddenly had an urge to spill everything out, but she only managed a curt, "Thank you."
Ye Sijue pretended to touch his ears impatiently. "I told you that you don't have to thank me."
Mu Xia couldn't stop herself from giggling.
The reason she returned to the country was to find out the truth and avenge her mom before restoring the Mu's family former glory.
Before she achieved her goals, she wasn't thinking of extending her social circle lest her friends got implicated.
Right then, it suddenly occurred to her that it would be nice to have a friend like Ye Sijue.
Soon, they arrived at the Situ residence.
Mu Xia got off at the foot of the hill lest someone else grew suspicious.
Ye Sijue gave her one last look and parted his lips to say, "Do you remember my suggestion? You should run a DNA test if possible. If you find it uncomfortable to do it at other hospitals, you can ask for my help."
He made a gesture for her to give him a call.
Mu Xia inclined her head before closing the door. She watched as Ye Sijue drove away.
Meanwhile, Situ Qingshan arrived home a few minutes earlier than Mu Xia. Immediately, she went to complain to Mu Xinyue.
