But today, she didn’t see anyone along the way. All the plants at the yards were all withered, looking like it had not been taken care of for a long time.

She felt that something was wrong and walked fast toward the house. There was no one at home. She was going to make a phone call, then frome the back yard came out a man.

“Who are you looking for?”

Mu Yao was stupefied. The man in front of her looked unfamiliar. He was probably a new servant.

“I am looking for Mr.Mu.”

“Oh, you mean the Mr.Mu who lived here before? They had moved away long time ago.”

“They moved?” Mu Yao was stunned. What did he mean that they moved?

Getting out from the old house, Mu Yao called her father with puzzlement. Then she found out that she could not get through to her father. Four years had passed, she didn’t even know what happened to the Mu’s. She didn’t know her father had sold the house and she didn’t know her father’s phone unmber.....

Mu Yao felt upset and wanted to cry. She tried to stop sobbing and then dialed many numbers. Finally she got to know her father’s new address from her uncle. But she also heard that her parents had not contacted with other relatives for two or three years, so what exactly happened to her parents was not clear.

It was a old community here. She walked at the passageway where was dark and with ads posted everywhere. And there was an awful odor floating in the air. Every time she make a step forward, she felt bitter. Her parents loved cleanness and tidiness most, how could they put up with this and live here?

She didn’t know exactly which floor were her parents at. She wondered around at the passageway for a long time. Then a passer－by asked her, “Hi. Beauty, who are you looking for?”

Mu Yao was nervous and swallowed hard, saying, “I’m looking for Mu Li. He is ......”

She was trying to describe her father’s look to him, but she found out that she had already forgotten what her father looked like. Five years passed, he was supposed to grow old a lot.

The man looked at her for a while, and suddenly he frowned and said, “Are you Mu Yao?”

“Uh.” Several girls kept themselves from her as if they had touched something dirty, saying, “You are famous here. Oh, no. You were already famous on the internet.”

“She is the cruel and unscrupulous woman who left her parents for reputation and flame?”

“Now the man’s love came to life and came back. It’s the retribution to for her, right? Who does she think she is? A mistress?”

“How pity was Uncle Mu. He was unable to see his daughter for the last time before he died. This kind of woman should just go to hell!”

Mu Yao was so embarrassed and was going to leave, but she turned around forthwith and grabbed that girl and asked, “What are you talking about?”

......

Mu Yao was trembling, cold was all around her. She was standing in front of the door, raising her hand up in the air, but she didn’t knock.

The door then was opened. She burst into tears at once. Her mother Xu Fang looked at her.

Xu Fang’s hair somehow became gray, and many wrinkles were on her face. And she narrowed her eyes because of her bad eyesight. All of these made Mu Yao so sad and she suddenly knelt on the ground!

“Mom......” Her cries were reverberating around the passageway. The garbage bag in Xu Fang’s hand fell down.

Mu Yao went to the cemetery and knelt in front of her father’ tomb till sunset. During her kneeling, Liao Yan called several times, but she didn’t pick up.

Then Fu Zhanchen also called, and she can even felt his angry.

Mother said that her dad had been dead for more than a year.

Something bad happened to the Mu’s. Fu Zhanchen not only didn’t offer any help, but gobbled up the Mu’s. Her father was so angry and sad that he then passed away.

Her mom said that they didn’t tell her this because her father did not want to upset her. She was so in love with Fu Zhanchen. So her father only wanted her daughter to be happy. Her father knew how weak was her daughter and he loved her the best.

Mu Yao was kneeling in front of her father’s tomb, crying hysterically. She was wrong at the very beginning......

“Dad, I’m so sorry. Scold me if you want. I made a huge mistake. I was wrong......”
