Su Ruyu looked back sadly because she did not want to see them any longer. The more she saw them, the sadder she became. She could no longer look into the Mo brothers' eyes and tell them, "I am your mother..."
These words might be the biggest joke to them.
Mo Shitian thought Ruyu was missing their dead children and wanted to console her when she avoided him. Mo Shitian's gaze became serious when Su Ruyu looked at him coldly before turning to Su Man.
Su Man, who was stunning in his own right, did not look like his parents nor his sisters."Second sister!" Su Man gently called out.
Su Ruyu was overjoyed and could not help but walk up to hug Su Man."Man Man..."
It was not some emotional and teary reunion of siblings after so many years, but a simple hug and kiss. Although a long time had passed, the memories remained fresh. Although Su Man could not remember her as he was infantile back then, teenage her really doted on Su Man.
"Second sister, you must be tired. Your room is the same room as before, " Su Man said. He had some misunderstanding toward her at the beginning. He was of the opinion that her meanness to leave family behind and disappear from view for good led to Su Ruhua looking around the world for her for so many years. When they learned that she had lost her memory and was not intentionally hiding from them, Su Man had no more emotional knots.
Since he was a cold person, he was not particularly warm toward Su Ruhua or Su Ruyu. His emotions were neither passionate nor distant.
Su Ruyu nodded, and without saying a word, went upstairs. Mo Shitian wanted to follow her, but Su Ruyu coldly said, "Eleven, I want some peace. Nobody shall disturb me!"
"Got it!" Eleven blocked Mo Shitian with her hands.
Mo Shitian was enraged and about to fight with Eleven when Ye Wei said, "Daddy Mo, can't you see that my master looks pissed as heck and needs a rest? What a pest you are."
Despite the comment, he kept his anger in check as he saw Su Ruyu disappear around the winding corridor. He also noticed that the old butler was secretly shedding tears at a corner.
Everybody saw Su Ruhua and the Mo brothers come out from the garden and did not know what to say. Nobody knew what the sisters told each other. It was almost certainly a terrible past they could not talk about given how they both cried particularly sadly.
Mo Shitian looked at Su Ruhua solemnly and coldly asked, "What did you tell Ruyu?"
"Just the truth!" Su Ruhua coldly shot back."You look like you can't be bothered about anything else apart from Ruyu, but..."
She looked at the Mo brothers, and then at Mo Shitian before gritting her teeth and saying, "Little Ye and Little Jue are your children."
Mo Shitian grabbed Su Ruhua's collars and squinted dangerously."Su Ruhua, what the f*** did you say?"
The shocked Mo brothers did not respond and stared at her instead. Ye Wei, Eleven, and the others were all stunned.
The Mo brothers were Old Witch's children?
Chu Li's lips twitched. This really made for one happy family.
"Little Ye and Little Jue are Ruyu's children, not mine. That dead child of yours years ago belonged to me." Su Ruyu pushed Mo Shitian's hand away."I've told Ruyu all that I should tell her. Little Ye, Little Jue, I am sorry for keeping this from you for so many years."
"Mom, are you kidding?" Mo Ye frowned, somewhat unable to accept the truth. The 'mom' he had called for so long... was actually not his biological mother?
Mo Shitian flew into a rage and almost slapped Su Ruhua."Why didn't you say it back then?" His chest heaved.
He wrongly treated his children as a result.
Mo Shitian clenched his fists tightly. It was little wonder why Ruyu had such a desolate look on her face. It was hence little wonder...
"I was unaware as well!! When I learned about it later, I received news that you all were dead, so how could I break it to you? You remained with the siblings, which I didn't know either. If they aren't telling me anything, how do you expect me to tell you anything?" Su Ruhua bitterly laughed.
She had no news of Mo Shitian, and she even thought they had gone into seclusion. She also did not know that the Mo brothers stayed with Mo Shitian for a few years before they broke out on their own and encountered Wolf, who was Fu Jin.
Fu Jin certainly knew that the brothers, by virtue of their appearance, belonged to Mo Shitian and Ruyu. Apart from the doctor, he was the only one privy to what happened back then.
However, he did not tell the Mo brothers, and Su Ruhua had no idea where Mo Shitian and Su Ruyu were. To tell the siblings whose parents were not with them was a fools' errand. She would at least wait until their parents were found.
As everybody did their calculus and acted accordingly, they implicated the Mo brothers' childhood.
"You..." Mo Shitian clenched his fists extremely hard, making everybody shiver. When Mo Shitian flew into a rage, he was even more terrifying than the Mo brothers. He looked like he would take the world down with him.
It was especially frightening.
"Dad, don't blame Mom. She..."
"Shut up! She is not your mother. She caused our family to be broken up for over twenty years. She caused your mother to live in suffering for over twenty years. Try calling her mom and see how I cripple you!" The enraged Mo Shitian coldly looked at the Mo brothers. The Mo brothers quietly piped down as they were always afraid of Mo Shitian. Between the Mo brothers, Mo Jue was especially afraid of Mo Shitian because of the immense childhood trauma.
Most importantly, their old man was way more capable than them.
Everybody looked at each other, speechless, and did not know what to say. The Mo brothers, who were supporting Su Ruhua, were slightly shaken when Mo Shitian looked at them, but they did not let go of Su Ruhua.
In their hearts, although Su Ruhua did not give them much motherly love, it was something they wished for since young. Mo Shitian looked at them with enmity from time to time. It was only Su Ruhua who showered them with care and love. While mother and children would only meet once every few years, that very little motherly love was able to win her the respect and affection of the Mo brothers. While they did have their share of grudges against her, they respected and loved her even more. Su Ruhua's position in their hearts was deep-seated.
Not a single sentence could wipe out the feelings across all these years.
Although Su Ruhua was a little happy, she felt even more terrible. She pulled away from the Mo brothers' hands and gently said, "Little Ye, Little Jue, your father is correct. I caused your family to be separated for so many years. I was the reason you never had fatherly love, and I had caused your mother to live in sadness for most of her life. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Also, please do not call me your mother anymore."
