TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 72: We Can't Live Without Him

Shao Dong knew very well that they had too little. Even if they take their heart, they remain a burden.

However, he really did not want Mu Jingzhe to leave.

After living with Mu Jingzhe for half a year, their lives and others were tied to her. He could not imagine how they would survive without him.

They were already used to the warmth Mu Jingzhe brought. How can they go back to their old lives?

He promised them that he would take care of them. He also said that he would fulfill his 100 wishes, and there were still many unfulfilled wishes.

They had agreed to filial piety and repay it in the future, but they had yet to have a chance to fulfill their promise.

How could he leave? How could they bear to watch him leave?

Unfortunately, they have no bargaining tools. In the end, Shao Dong could only dig out his heart and plead with it in his hand, using a method he hated in the past.

Even so, he had to beg. He had to use all his strength and all the available means to hold Mu Jingzhe there.

Shao Dong knelt on the muddy water and lowered his head, begging Mu Teng not to take Mu Jingzhe away.

“Please, Uncle. Please don't take Mom.. We can't live without her.”.

Mu Teng turned around and glanced at Shao Dong. It was not that he was unmoved, but that he could not be soft-hearted.

Mu Teng returned and pulled Mu Jingzhe away, ignoring the cries of Xiao Wu and Little Bei.

"If you still think of us as your parents, come with us."

Li Zhaodi also looked at Mu Jingzhe with a pleading look in her eyes. He didn't say anything, but he had already said many things before.

He had always wanted Mu Jingzhe to return to live with him. He didn't think it was a good idea for him to stay and take care of the children. He said that he had seen too many such cases. In this world, blood relations are more reliable, but even biological children are not necessarily filial, let alone children who do not have blood relations with you.

Although Mu Jingzhe was better than before, Li Zhaodi was still worried. He even said that he might as well be like his old self and snatched Tang Moling away from Mu Xue. That's better than focusing on taking care of the kids.

These words sounded very foolish, but were based on Li Zhaodi's life experience.

Mu Jingzhe looked into Li Zhaodi's eyes and could not help but think of the ending of Mu Teng and Li Zhaodi's story in the book.

According to the original plot, Mu Jingzhe failed to seduce his sister-in-law and even rendered Little Bei deaf, causing her to be the target of public criticism.

Then, he could not bear it anymore and went to the big city to work.

He had been thinking of getting the money before returning, but it turned out to be just wishful thinking on his part.

Instead of being a female worker in some big city factory, she was tricked into entering the trade ****.

By the time he realized it, it was already too late. He was littered that night as well.

In the book, when Mu Xue was pregnant, the real Mu Jingzhe contracted a sexually transmitted disease, and his mind was not clear anymore. He went crazy and disappeared one night after running out.

Then, Li Zhaodi went to look for the real Mu Jingzhe. He didn't care if his daughter was sick or crazy. He just wants to find her.

They begged and searched everywhere, but they did not finally manage to find him. Gradually, there was no news of him anymore, and he ended up becoming a rotting corpse next to a landfill.

Mu Teng then set out on a path to find his wife and daughter. For the rest of his life, he just wanted to bring them back.

In the end, he did not get what he wanted and died with eternal regret.

Now that the real Mu Jingzhe had left, Mu Jingzhe had succeeded her as their daughter. He could not break their hearts anymore.

Li Zhaodi blocked the children and prevented them from following her.

Shao Dong stood in the rain and saw Mu Jingzhe being pulled by Mu Teng.

Mu Jingzhe's red dress gradually disappeared in the rain.

"Stop chasing him." Seeing Little Wu and Little Bei still wanting to catch up, Shao Dong stopped them.

“You can't chase him. Let him back.”

"No, I want Mom." This was the first time Little Bei had been disobedient and made a fuss.

Xiao Wu also did not listen and cried, “I want to find Mom! Mama!"

However, Shao Dong still did not change his mind. Ignoring their struggles, he brought them back. "You're not allowed to leave."

At that moment, Shao Dong was only happy because the rain was quite heavy.

No one can see her tears.

*****

Mu Jingzhe was pulled back into the Mu Residence by Mu Teng and Li Zhaodi.

"Stop crying. You will get used to it in two days. ”

Li Zhaodi felt very sorry to see Mu Jingzhe crying all the way back.

“If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't listen to you. I should have insisted on taking you back then. They're not even your real children, but you look just as upset as they are.”

Li Zhaodi felt annoyed, as did Mu Teng. But he has to strengthen his heart. She could not let Mu Jingzhe stay there and continue to raise children.

Mu Jingzhe was at a loss for words for a moment. He could not ignore the wishes of the two elders, but he felt uneasy when he thought of the children he left behind.

Li Zhaodi was about to say something when Old Madam Mu's impatient voice sounded.

“Come in quickly because you're back. Why are you standing in front of the door?”

Mu Jingzhe followed Li Zhaodi in. The first thing he saw was Old Madam Mu who looked resolute. Beside him were Tang Moling and Mu Xue, who were shaking their umbrellas.

Since Tang Moling often came to the Mu Residence, everyone liked to joke that he was like a living daughter-in-law.

Due to the rain, Tang Moling went to pick up Mu Xue, who was assessing the papers at school. The duo had just returned and had no idea what had happened.

"What's wrong?"

As he asked this, he saw Mu Jingzhe enter through the rain.

This was the first time Mu Jingzhe had worn a dress. She was wearing a red dress that attracted attention.

Tang Moling was stunned for a moment, surprise flashed in his eyes.

She had already noticed that Mu Jingzhe was becoming increasingly beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but she subconsciously ignored him.

Until this moment.

If Mu Xue was described as an elegant daisy flower, then Mu Jingzhe could be likened to a rich ink painting of a stunning and unforgettable landscape.

Tang Moling could even hear his heart thumping.

Ba-dums. Ba-dums.

It felt like he was about to jump out of his chest.

"What the hell is going on?" Old Madam Mu asked coldly, pulling Tang Moling back from her mind.

He returned to his senses and awkwardly retracted his gaze.

Yeah, what's going on?

This was the first time she had seen Mu Jingzhe cry. His head was down, and he looked lethargic.

He was completely different from his usual energetic and alert self. This was the first time he had seen that Mu Jingzhe could be so fragile.

Seeing Mu Jingzhe's reddened eyes, Tang Moling looked at Mu Teng.

Mu Teng looked furious as he briefly explained what had happened.

"They went too far." Old Madam Mu's expression darkened. He then turned to Mu Jingzhe angrily. “At first I didn't agree you were in a hurry to marry Shao Qihai. See what happens when you chew more than you can bite? How embarrassing.”

Mu Teng was not happy. “Mother, what are you saying? Jingzhe is innocent here.”

Old Madam Mu wanted to retaliate, but Tang Moling cut her off.

Tang Moling was furious.

He had not expected to hear such a disgusting thing. “Why don't you come back and ask for help when you run into such problems? We have to retaliate and smash their heads. Let's see if they dare to do this again in the future.”

No wonder Mu Jingzhe suddenly wore a red dress. It turned out that she was forced into marriage and this was her wedding dress.
