The expression on Mu Ran’s face froze for a moment. Then, she pursed her lips and said bitterly, “I’m sorry, Yinyin! When I was five years old, Mom went crazy. She didn’t have many memories before, so I thought that maybe if you went back and met her, she would wake up. Then I could see if my normal mother would treat me better. She wouldn’t be like this now. She would either be in a daze or go crazy when she saw me.”
After Lin Yin heard Mu Ran’s words, her eyes turned slightly red, but she didn’t say anything.
She did not want to agree to anything easily. She was afraid of too many things.
She was afraid that the Mu family had never really wanted her back.
She was afraid that the Mu family would only treat her as a tool to treat Ye
Wen.
She was afraid that the Mu Family would despise her for being vulgar in the future when they found out about her past life in the slums, just like the Su Family in her previous life. They would despise her for not knowing the rules and etiquette. If she was brought out, she would either embarrass herself or become a laughing stock.
Even the small Su Family was like this, let alone a wealthy family like the Mu Family. Perhaps one day, she would suffer the disdain and disgust of her family just because she did not have proper etiquette at the dining table. How could she accept that?
Lin Yin had never been afraid of those unimportant people looking at her with disdain, but she was afraid that her blood -related relatives would be like those people. That would make her feel as uncomfortable as death.
Therefore, Lin Yin did not dare to say anything at this moment. She only said softly to Mu Ran, “The guest room is on your left. There are new washing tools in the cabinet in the bathroom. Wash up and sleep early. And don’t let water touch your wound.”
With that, Lin Yin turned around and was about to walk to her room.
However, just as she reached the door, Mu Ran’s voice continued to come from behind. His voice was humble and pleading. “Yinyin, it’s fine if you don’t want to go home. Then can you acknowledge me as your third brother? At least I can have a sister to care about me, okay?”
Lin Yin stood there for a while without saying anything. After a while, she said in a low voice, “Rest early!”
Mu Ran was a little disappointed, but he still said gently to Lin Yin’s back, “Okay! Good night!”
Seeing Lin Yin close the door, Mu Ran was so sad that her eyes turned red,
Actually, he understood Lin Yin’s feelings very well, just like how he yearned for his mother’s love, but because he had almost been strangled to death by his mother before, he was afraid of approaching his mother because he was afraid of being hurt again.
And Lin Yin seemed to be afraid.
She might also yearn for kinship, but she was afraid that the kinship she yearned for was just a scam. She was afraid that the family she loved did not love her and might even use her to hurt her. Therefore, she was hiding.
That was why she had asked him everything Mu Ning had said at the hospital.
It had to be said that Mu Ran’s insight was quite good, and her interpretation of the human heart was quite accurate.
After all, Mu Ran was an actor. How could a person who was so sensitive that he could interpret the emotions of a person on a piece of paper be brainless?
There were some things that he just didn’t want to think about. He didn’t like having things in his head. He just liked to be so empty-headed and deliberately make himself stupid.
Through today’s interaction and understanding, Lin Yin had figured out Mu Ran’s personality.
As Lin Yin looked at herself in the mirror, she thought of the brother in the other room who made her heart ache.
Mu Ran was cold and silent in front of unrelated strangers, invisible and distant. Perhaps this was his true personality, he was deeply guarded against people.
In front of an acquaintance, he looked brainless, noisy, and even shameless. It was a disguise he used to hide the scars in his heart and prevent others from seeing through him.
An actor was indeed an actor. He acted so well that no one knew what he looked like.
In the same suite, the siblings’ hearts ached for the relative next door.
After confirming that Mu Ran was almost asleep, Lin Yin got up, put on her comfortable clothes, and quietly left.
After Mu Heng left, she secretly sent him a message, asking him to send the kidnappers hired by Su Fei to Sun Biao. She wanted to interrogate them personally.
Therefore, this time, Lin Yin had to meet these people and Su Fei behind them.
The moment she opened the door, Lin Yin still felt a little guilty. This was the first time she had to be so sneaky in her house.
It was only when the door closed that Lin Yin heaved a sigh of relief..
