Daily Life of the Wealthy

Chapter 1

"Mrs. Mu."

"Mrs. Mu, good night, come to see the children again?"

"Mrs. Mu is beautiful and kind. Mr. Mu is blessed to marry such a wife ..."

On the clean and bright aisle in the pediatric inpatient department, wearing a Chinese-style gown, Mrs. Mu, who was elegant and graceful, walked slowly. Her face was not whitewashed(1), with a faint smile. It looked like she was only twenty years old. But her calm and gental eyes reveal her experience.Behind her was a kind-hearted middle-aged woman. She looked at the hostess walking in front of her, her eyes were looking up, full of conviction and respect.

Wherever the two passed, the doctors and nurses they met stopped the work at hand and greeted them. Mrs. Mu nodded slightly in response, noble and polite. After they passed, there was a whisper behind them, and Mrs. Mu acted as if unaware of this , her pace was calm.

Immediately after passing through the emergency room, there was a sudden sound of footsteps ahead.

"Emergency patient! Move out ! Move out of the way!" The nurse opened way, and several doctors and nurses hurried to the operating room with a bed.

Mrs. Mu and the middle-aged woman behind her moved sideways, and vaguely saw a little child lying on the bed, his limbs were bruised, legs were unnaturally twisted, and his thin chest was undulating.

Mrs. Mu got used to the children in the hospital. When she saw such a tragedy, she suddenly couldn't bear it. Her eyes moved to the child's face unconsciously. Then, her pupil contracted sharply, and her calm and self-sufficient expression instantly collapsed: "Xiao Qi "She was all soft and almost fell to the ground.

"Mrs.!" The middle-aged woman was frightened and quickly supported her.

"What's going on? Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi!" Mrs. Mu shook her hand away and hurriedly chased after the bed.

"Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Mu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Mrs. Mu followed in excitement, one of the nurses pushing the bed stopped her path: "This child is in danger of life and needs immediate surgery. Please calm down . "

"He is my son!" Mrs. Mu clasped her hand. "What is going on? What happened to him?"

The nurse's face became a little strange: "He is your son? Are you sure?"

Mrs. Mu said angrily, "Do I still admit my son wrong?"

The nurse stunned: "But he can't be your son! His name is Hu Yixi. He is six years old. He is a resident of Jiangxiang Sanxiang. He has no father and mother and lives with his grandmother Hu Lijiao. We all know him ..."

Mrs. Mu frowned, and heard that the other was not her son Mu Yiqi, her reason quickly returned to the cage: "... Please be more detailed."

The sounds of medical devices such as ECG and oxygen generators ring regularly in this single-person ward, contrasting a suffocating silence. Mrs. Mu sat next to the hospital bed, staring at the child who was lying motionless on the bed, looking pale.

This is a six-year-old boy who looks like he is only three or four years old, as weak as a pinch. He has a face similar to that of Mu Yiqi's son Mu Yiqi, with only slight differences. Before, Mrs. Mu was concerned and chaotic, and regarded him as Mu Yiqi. Now, looking closely, as a mother, she can still distinguish the difference.

Mrs. Mu could not help remembering the information about the little boy that she had just learned from the nurse.

The six-year-old boy, whose mother was pregnant before her marriage and whose father was unknown, gave birth to him and leave him to his grandmother Hu Lijiao for her own good. He never went to school before, his grandmother usually scolded him or even severely beat when drunk. Social workers have been in contact for help many times, but the little boy is unwilling to leave his only relative and often goes to the hospital to treat injuries caused by domestic violence. This time was the worst injury ever. She almost killed him, he suffered a concussion, fractured legs, broken ribs, and have large and small scars everywhere on his body, like a fragmented doll.

Mrs. Mu is full of love and patience for her children. Otherwise, as her status , she would not often go to the pediatric inpatient department to volunteer. Facing this child named Hu Yixi at this moment, besides sympathizing and pitying, Mrs. Mu had an emotion that could not be explained.

Guilt.

Because she didn't know anything about this child.

Mrs. Mu's real name was Fang Zhen, and her marriage with her husband Mu Jiurong's  was a commercial marriage. At first, the two did not have deep feelings. Before marriage, although Mu Jiurong was not a playboy-like man, it was also occasional to play in the field. Men have normal physiological needs, and Mu Jiurong's busy working condition does not allow him to waste time and energy on the relationship between men and women. Therefore, his way of venting is all clean money and service transactions. The Fang family expressed their understanding and satisfaction, and Mu Jiurong severed all these relationships before marriage to show that he attached importance to Fang Zhen's marriage, and the Fang family was speechless and considered it to be a A perfect wedding.

It's a pity that it's a secret. Hu Qin was the last woman to have a relationship with Mu Jiurong. Not only did she successfully schemed Mu Jiurong to conceive her child, she also sought to find him three days before the engagement ceremony between the two Fang and Mu.

Fang Zhen was born in a magnificent family, and this scenes she experienced were innumerable. Hu Qin, a woman with a small temperament, thought that she was so provocative but she was worthless in front of her. Fang Zhen did not hesitate to hold Hu Qin, and then left the matter to Mu Jiurong.

Mu Jiurong was arrogant and conceited, never placing his flings in his eyes. Who knew that he had suffered by his own hands in the end, schemed by this woman. One could tell how furious he was. He has no feelings for Hu Qin, and he has no feelings for the piece of meat in Hu Qin's belly. He knew very well that leaving such a child would leave hidden dangers to the family formed by him and Fang Zhen. Without a second thought, after he received the news of Hu Qin from Fang Zhen, he arranged for a doctor to abort Hu Qin's baby. Then, he'd send her away with a huge sum of money.

Hu Qin escaped from the hospital, and there has been no news since. In other words, even if there is news, Fang Zhen, who has become Mrs. Mu, cannot be heard. But with Mrs. Mu's knowledge of her husband, Hu Qin could never benefit from Mu Jiurong again. Mu Jiurong's heart is as hard as iron. Hu Qin has offended him three or four times. It is a very grave thing that he did not really kill her , even if Hu Qin finally gave birth to Mu Jiurong's child. Mu Jiurong would not admit this innocent unlucky child, nor would the Mu family.

Mrs. Mu did not deliberately think about this child. But her folded arms may lead to the loss of a living life, or the misfortune of an innocent child. This idea is a bit beyond her tolerance, especially after her pair of children Mu Yiqi and Mu Yixuan were born. Mrs. Mu is so enthusiastic about the good deeds of her children that she does not mean to accumulate this virtue for her children.

Six years later, Mrs. Mu encountered the tragic Hu Yixi, and without any verification, she knew that he was the child that Hu Qin was pregnant with. Mrs. Mu had a sense of destiny.

Cause and effect cycle, there will always be a retribution.

Looking at the face similar to her son Mu Yiqi and the scars on his body, Mrs Mu felt suffocated.

She reached out her hand hesitantly, and stroked his small face gently: "I ... I'm sorry ..."

As if responding to her, the little boy trembled slightly and opened his eyes slowly. Mrs. Mu's beautiful face was reflected in the dark pupil, and his voice was dumb--

"Mom ..."
