Chapter 1162: Into the Dream 6
Mu Haiyun truly lost her sanity. From the moment she woke up, discovering that the person lying beside her wasn’t Bai Chenyao, but the man who impersonated Bai Chenyao on their engagement day, she was so overtaken by rage and disbelief that she fainted.
When she woke up again, and saw that man who looked almost identical to Bai Chenyao was still there, only heaven knew how she managed to stay conscious.
"You’re not Bai Chenyao!"
The man listened and smiled softly.
As he smiled, Mu Haiyun felt a string in her heart snap instantly.
Why was it that yesterday in the restroom of the cafe, upon just one glance at him, she was so sure he was Bai Chenyao.
Not a single doubt, even though he had appeared in front of her once before and deceived her.
After one failed experience, she should have been more alert and remembered that there was a man who looked extremely similar to Bai Chenyao. Why was she bewitched yesterday into thinking he was Bai Chenyao?
Was it because she had arranged to meet Tian Tian, and because Bai Chenyao protected Tian Tian so perfectly, wherever Bai Chenyao was, Tian Tian would be.
Even though she had made an appointment with Tian Tian, she couldn’t be sure that Bai Chenyao was not already at the Twelve Miles Pavilion Cafe, which was why Tian Tian agreed to meet her without hesitation.
More so because in the restroom, she saw Zhang Ze hurriedly rushing over.
He was Tian Tian’s driver and also a life-and-death brother who had come out of the same unit as Bai Chenyao.
What else could cause Zhang Ze to show such a panicked expression, if not Bai Chenyao?
Because of her confidence and the emergency of the situation, and also the joy of seeing Bai Chenyao, she lost her rationality.
"Of course, I’m not Bai Chenyao, Miss Mu, my name is Xu Tai!"
"Remember, your first man is named Xu Tai, not Bai Chenyao!"
All the beliefs supporting Mu Haiyun collapsed in an instant, like a beautifully crafted house suddenly crumbling and falling.
"Xu Tai!"
Mu Haiyun looked at Xu Tai as if she had seen a ghost. This time, it wasn’t just a mental collapse; her pupils widened in disbelief as she looked at the man with a bare body, laughing with a sinister and mocking expression.
Xu Tai!
If she remembered correctly, there was a person named Xu Tai beside her grandfather, but... he had never appeared in the Shen Family. The reason she knew about him was due to overhearing a conversation between her grandfather and Xu Tai when visiting the Shen Family.
She was twenty at the time, home from abroad for the New Year, and only then did she truly understand that the seemingly harmonious and amicable Bai Family and Shen Family were actually in contention behind the scenes.
She even made a special effort to investigate Xu Tai.
However, she found no information whatsoever.
It was also then that she realized that all the affairs of the Shen Family were not as clear to her as she had previously believed.
Or rather, despite Grandma’s fondness for her, and Mom being an already married woman, many things were simply beyond their knowledge.
At that time, she felt indignant, and even resented Grandma, feeling that Grandma had one face towards them and another behind their backs.
Since then, her feelings toward Grandma gradually began to change. Over the years, perhaps due to changes in her own mindset or external influences, her love for Grandma seemed unchanged, but deep down she knew it was dispensable.
What she needed was Grandma’s care and protection, which is why she continued to be the elegant, perfect, noble, and flawless Mu Haiyun in the Shen Family.
