Chapter 1442: Great to Have You (2)

“I’ve made up my mind. Don’t contact them, I look terrible now…” Mu Wansheng said while trying to catch her breath.


She was no longer capable of speech and felt as if she had sunk into a world of darkness.


She had lost her vision.


She could no longer see anything.


There went her promising future, her blissful life, and herself.


Who would want to be with a blind and hideous monster?


She was incapable of doing anything and had to be served all the time.


Even if Fan Shixin didn’t despise her, she would despise herself. She felt that she was no longer fit to be his wife and the mother of his children.


She had already lost those rights.


She did not wish to return to the Mu family.


Everyone must think that I’m dead.


“No one came to look for me, right?”


“Yes, they all thought that you’ve already passed away. There was a man who tried to search for you in the lake for a really long time but he only managed to find one of your shoes. I’m not sure if he’s your boyfriend or brother.”


After a moment of silence, Mu Wansheng asked, “How old are you this year?”


“Twenty-eight years old.”


“I’m 27 years old. Since you’ve saved me, that makes you my benefactor. Let me call you my brother. If it hadn’t been for you, I would have definitely died. I’ll always remember your kindness. However, I’m injured right now and can’t do much for you, but once I recover, I’ll do whatever I can to help you. I hope you can take me in.”


“I can take you in, but… you’re a girl and tongues are going to wag if others find out that we’re living together.”


“Why don’t I acknowledge you as my brother, then? Are you willing to take me as your sister? If you are, I’ll treat you as my own brother from now on. I’ll help you out with the chores when I can start moving.”


“Frankly speaking, it’s not appropriate for you to be my sister either. I bought some medicine and ointment for you because I didn’t want others to find out that you’re here. But don’t worry, I only applied the ointment on your arms, legs, and face. I didn’t violate you or anything. If you’re willing… to be my wife, this shall be your home from now on. If you’re not, it’s alright. I can send you to wherever you’d like to go. You can stay here temporarily too, but not for too long. I hope you can understand my concerns. Once you’ve recovered, I’ll take you to the hospital for an optometric checkup. To be honest with you, I’m very poor and I may not be able to afford the treatment fees, even if there’s a viable treatment for your condition.”


She knew that his qualms were reasonable.


Who would believe that she was his godsister?


It was only a matter of time before someone found out.


“I’ve already become so hideous. Are you still willing to marry me?” Mu Wansheng asked. Although she did not know what he looked like, she was certain that he was a kind man. Since he had saved her life, she ought to spare a thought for him.


“Appearance is only secondary and superficial. Personality and character are the most important. Actually, there are scars on my face too, you just can’t see them. Because of my appearance, I was put through lots of matchmaking sessions. However, none of them worked out because my blind dates all found me too poor.”


Mu Wansheng remained silent for a while.


Actually, she had already gotten it all figured out.


Although she survived, it would forever be impossible between her and Fan Shixin.


She did not want others to say that Fan Shixin was just marrying her out of responsibility or to mock him for having an ugly wife.


She did not want her dignity to be trampled on by those mockeries either.


She would rather be remembered as a beautiful woman.


She had been so close to grasping her happiness, and yet it slipped out of her hands so soon.


The old Mu Wansheng had already died.


She was just a walking zombie now.


She was hideous and revolting.


“Don’t worry, even if you become my wife, I’ll still respect you as I’ve been doing. I just think that it’s the only way for you to stay. Besides, I need a companion to chat with too.”


Mu Wansheng put on a lopsided smile and said, “Those were none of my concerns. I just think that my life has been ruined forever. If I had known that I would end up like this, I would have just allowed myself to die in the explosion. Worse still, I even lost my vision. Life has become so meaningless for me.”


“Why would it be meaningless? As long as you’re alive, you can still achieve your dreams. Once you’re dead, there’s nothing you can do anymore.”


“What’s your name?”


“Tang Yucheng.”


“Brother Tang, could you give me some time to consider? I know I’m in no position to consider, given the predicament I’m in now, but…”


“I’m not in a hurry for an answer. Just stay and think through this carefully. I actually just need a companion to talk to. My parents passed away a long time ago, and my younger brother has moved in with his wife’s family. I’ve been alone at home all this while. It’s too lonely to be all by myself. There’s no one for me to talk to either.”


Mu Wansheng expressed assent and said, “Thank you, Brother Tang. Thank you so much.”


“I read from the news that your name is Mu Wansheng. Is that so?”


“Yeah, it is.”


“It won’t be convenient for you to use that name while you’re staying here. Why don’t you change your name? Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to introduce you to my brother and sister-in-law.”


“Brother Tang, what do you think my new name should be?”


“Happy.”


“What?”


“Your name should be ‘Happy.’ I hope you’ll always be happy from now on. How does that sound?”


Mu Wansheng teared up and said, “Great. My name shall be Happy from now on. Thank you, Brother Tang.”


“Don’t mention it. You must be famished. I’ll go make you some porridge. Wait for me.”


“Alright, thank you.”


Mu Wansheng heard the sounds of his footsteps fading. Although she could no longer see, her tears were still flowing out of her eyes uncontrollably, and she felt as if a million daggers were piercing through her heart.


Her hopes had all been dashed, and she felt nothing except misery.


Mu Wansheng used to hear from others that most men in the world were scumbags. However, she still believed that good men existed.


Despite having had an unpleasant experience with Zuo Xingwei, she still believed that other men were different from him.


For instance, Fan Shixin and Tang Yucheng.


Tang Yucheng was genuinely nice to her.


He would change her wound dressings and serve her meticulously every single day without fail.


Mu Wansheng did not have any airs around her at all, and she felt that it was rare that a man would be willing to take care of her despite all the hassle.


There were lots of couples who fail to support each other through tough times. They often allow their true colors to show during adverse situations.
