Chapter 695: 146: Special Cure_4

It wasn’t until Fang Youling had sent Wu Muzhen away that Fang Hongyu continued walking in the direction of the Tang Family.

The winter nights in Capital City were a bit cold, and since it had snowed during the day, it was a vast expanse of white outside.

The temperature had already dropped to minus nineteen degrees.

Fang Hongyu wrapped her coat around herself tighter, "Brother Baicheng, are you still bothered by that matter?"

Her voice was a bit low.

More than twenty years ago,

When Fang Hongyu was first experiencing the stirrings of love, she had fallen for Mu Baicheng. Her affection in her youth was not a momentary impulse, and even now, seeing Mu Baicheng again, she still felt her heart flutter.

Back then, Fang Hongyu had taken the initiative to confess her feelings to Mu Baicheng.

But Mu Baicheng had rejected her, saying that he already had someone he liked.

Fang Hongyu was heartbroken and could not accept this fact, so she went to beg Fang Youling, asking her to go and propose to Old Lady Mu on her behalf.

But Fang Youling disagreed with the idea.

And the reason she gave was laughable.

Because Tang Qiushui had a verbal agreement with Mu Baicheng.

As the elder sister, Fang Hongyu could not steal

It was from that time that Fang Hongyu knew Fang Youling would never treat her as her own daughter.

If her aunt truly considered her as her own daughter, she should have helped her marry Mu Baicheng.

Instead of letting her become disheartened with love unrequited.

After all,

She and Mu Baicheng were the most suitable pair.

Later, after Fang Hongyu pleaded desperately, Fang Youling relented, stating that as long as their love was mutual, she would not object.

Fang Hongyu took it to be true, and once again approached Mu Baicheng to confess her love.

But Mu Baicheng still rejected her.

After that, Mu Baicheng never returned to the country, and he avoided any contact with Fang Hongyu.

When Fang Hongyu heard about Mu Baicheng again, he was already married.

Why did Mu Baicheng ignore her?

Why did he rush into marriage?

In Fang Hongyu’s view, all of this was Fang Youling’s doing.

It was Fang Youling who wouldn’t let Mu Baicheng agree to her.

In fact, Fang Hongyu could see that Mu Baicheng also liked her.

And he liked her very much.

After all, they were close in age, with similar characters and hobbies, and a mutual understanding.

And they had been childhood sweethearts.

Mu Baicheng had no reason to refuse her.

Because Fang Youling only wanted her own daughter to be with Mu Baicheng, she threatened him.

It was clear that Fang Youling never held her niece in her heart.

Later on,

when Fang Hongyu reached marriageable age, Tang Shaowei and Fang Youling were too busy looking for Tang Qiushui and neglected her own marriage, leading to suitors from minor families knocking at her door.

Fang Hongyu knew full well that marrying one of those minor families would not be better than staying at the Tang house.

Therefore, Fang Hongyu turned her attention to an old classmate.

Lv Zhitao was an honest and straightforward person, easy to manipulate.

Eventually, Fang Hongyu used the excuse of being too attached to her aunt and uncle to have Lv Zhitao become a live-in son-in-law.

After having Lv Tang, Fang Hongyu originally wanted to let Lv Tang take the Tang surname directly.

But Fang Youling still opposed it.

Thinking back on all these past events, Fang Hongyu’s face was full of resentment.

If, if she had been able to marry Mu Baicheng back then, she surely wouldn’t be in the position she was now.

The Mu Family had thrived abroad over the years.

Even though Mu Baicheng was already married, there were still many unmarried women from prominent families who wanted to marry him.

The night completely hid the hatred on Fang Hongyu’s face.

Hearing this, Mu Baicheng chuckled, "Don’t overthink it."

Just four words.

Fang Hongyu bit her lip, "Then may I ask you a question?"

"Ask," said Mu Baicheng.

"Did you ever like me?" Fang Hongyu continued.

Even though it had been a long time, Fang Hongyu still wanted to hear those three words from Mu Baicheng’s mouth.

She wanted to prove that she was right.

She also wanted to hear from Mu Baicheng how Fang Youling had threatened him back then.

Mu Baicheng was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Fang Hongyu to ask this.

After a moment, he carefully considered his words, turned to look at Fang Hongyu, and said, "Hongyu, we grew up together since childhood, like siblings. I only have brotherly affection for you, the same then as now."

Brotherly affection?

Fang Hongyu didn’t believe a word of it.

If Mu Baicheng really only felt brotherly affection for her, he wouldn’t have been unwed to this day.

After all, Mu Baicheng’s first wife had passed away more than twenty years ago.

Even if Mu Baicheng was just a successful businessman,

even an ordinary person would hardly endure over twenty years of loneliness.

But Mu Baicheng had endured it.

Even though Mu Baicheng was far away abroad, Fang Hongyu knew that over the years, he had remained chaste, never involved in any scandal with any woman.
