Chapter 1222: Awakening (2)
City Hospital VIP ward, Mu Haiyun slowly regained consciousness, her face even paler than before due to the shock, almost bloodless.
Shen Xin was by the bedside, her eyes filled with intense hatred.
"Mom?"
Just as Mu Haiyun opened her mouth, she heard a low, soft laugh ring out in the room, filled with demonic audacity, lacking any gentle concern typically shown to visiting a patient.
At the moment she heard the laughter, Mu Haiyun’s body stiffened, her pale face showing a glimmer of fear in her beautiful eyes.
"Cousin?"
On the sofa in the ward, Shen Tiancheng sat lazily with one long leg casually propped up, the other leg crossed over it, looking carefree and idle, as if enjoying the comforts of home.
When Mu Haiyun looked at him, he slightly curled his lips into a mischievous smile, his eyes cold and dim.
"The feeling of reaping what you sow, isn’t it wonderful?"
The lazy voice seemingly mocked a clown’s folly.
Mu Haiyun’s bloodless face tightened, her eyes widened slightly, staring at Shen Tiancheng. She pressed her lips together, her hand beneath the blanket clenched tightly onto the sheet.
"It truly is reaping what I sow, giving cousin quite a laugh!"
Shen Tiancheng sneered, his slender eyes casting a cold gaze at the fearful Mu Haiyun without a hint of pity.
"Laugh? I’m so busy, how would I find time to laugh at you?"
Mu Haiyun’s hand under the blanket tightened further, as if she wouldn’t be satisfied until she tore a hole in the sheet.
"I wonder what brings cousin here today?"
Seeing her daughter pushed to such extremes, Shen Xin couldn’t bear it any longer. After Mu Haiyun finished speaking, she looked at Shen Tiancheng and quickly said,
"Tiancheng, for the sake of Haiyun calling you cousin for so many years, please don’t hold it against her."
"Don’t hold it against her?"
Shen Tiancheng sneered, looking at Shen Xin with a touch of coldness in his gaze, his devilishly charming face showing a dazzling yet sinister smile.
"It’s truly fortunate she called me cousin for so many years, otherwise... just by her disobedience and reckless actions, do you think she would still be lying in this ward?"
Hearing Shen Tiancheng’s chilling words, Shen Xin felt a chill on her back, forcing a faint smile as she looked at him gently.
"Haiyun was just momentarily confused, otherwise she wouldn’t have caused this mess. She was too sentimental, and that’s why she’s ended up in this situation."
Listening to Shen Xin’s words, Shen Tiancheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Shen Xin and Mu Haiyun watched him, holding their breath slightly.
Shen Tiancheng laughed for a while before slowly stopping, his dark eyes cold and wicked.
"A momentarily confused and impulsive woman can’t be the Mu Family’s female heir!"
Mu Haiyun stiffened all over, trying hard to sit up as she looked at Shen Tiancheng.
"Cousin, I can’t lose the position of Mu Family’s female heir!"
If she loses the position of Mu Family’s female heir, what does she become?
With repeated failures leading up to now, if she can’t even keep the position of Mu Family’s female heir, what does she have left?
She had been planning to watch Tian Tian’s downfall, waiting to see her beg for life and death without being able to get either. But in the end, is it she herself who reaches that point first?
Cannot!
Absolutely cannot!
