"No! I will never allow her to come back!" Mrs. Mu looked at her two sons and said excitedly.

Mu Sihao and Mu Siwei glanced at each other, and they reacted as expected.

"We can't let her have any more contact with Lei Ying...absolutely not..."

"Mom," said Mu Siwei, "then what reason are you going to use to stop her this time?"

She didn't expect her son to ask such a question, and she couldn't answer for a while.

"Si Hao, you..." He turned to Mu Sihao for help.

Mu Sihao was silent as if acquiescing.

"Could it be that you promised to let Siqin come back?" Mrs. Mu asked in disbelief.

"Mom, Si Wei is right. What reason should we use to stop her this time? At that time, we also tried our best to force her to return to Taiwan. Now... objectively speaking, this opportunity should not be opposed. If we strongly oppose...do you think she will not notice?" Mu Sihao looked at her and said.

Mrs. Mu was speechless, her son was right, this job opportunity is indeed the dream of a makeup artist, but...

"Siqin must also know that we don't want her to come back, that's why I decided to "cut first and play later". We'll talk about it when we come back... If Dr. Xia hadn't told me first, we would have really received a "surprise" from her..." Mu Siwei Some helplessly said, this younger sister is still the same stubborn.

"This..." Mrs. Mu said worriedly, but she didn't know what to say.

"Dr. Xia's letter is just to prepare us mentally. For the rest, we can only see what we do. If we don't want Siqin to find out that we have concealed such a big thing from her... I believe, Mom, you also know what to do. How to do it." Mu Siwei said.

"Let her get in touch with Lei Ying, won't she remember?" Madam Mu frowned deeply.

"When you think about it, just think about it..." Mu Sihao said, "Dr.Jeff also told us at the time that with Siqin's personality, she would remember it sooner or later. Mental state... I just hope that she is strong enough to bear the truth of the matter..."

"Can she? Is she really strong enough?" Mrs. Mu asked her two sons for answers.

"No one knows." Mu Siwei said honestly, "However, Siqin's feelings for Lei Ying at that time..."

"No, she can't have anything to do with Lei Ying anymore."

"But she came back to work with Lei Ying." Mu Siwei pointed out the facts lightly.

"Really, is there no other choice?" Mrs. Mu still did not give up.

"Mom, don't you think Siqin wished she could remember?" Mu Siwei asked.

Mu Sihao told Mrs. Mu the matter as lightly as possible.

"Why didn't I know about this?" Sure enough, Mrs. Mu was very displeased.

"I promise she won't tell you."

"You..." Mrs. Mu looked at the two brothers angrily.

"Think about it now..." Mu Sihao relayed to his mother what Mu Siwei told him on the plane that day, and Mu Siwei listened silently.

"She still wants to be with Lei Ying? What did Lei Ying do to her... She still wants to be with Lei Ying?" Mrs. Mu became excited again after hearing this.

"Mom, is there a need to be so surprised? Have you ever thought...how could Yi Siqin follow our arrangement so obediently with such a recalcitrant personality?" Mu Siwei said.

"So... all of this was Siqin's idea at the beginning?"

"We think so, but what the truth is...I'm afraid only Siqin knows."

"Mom," Mu Sihao stood up from the chair, "seriously, it's time to give Siqin's life back to her... Let her decide who she wants to be with and what kind of life she wants to live. .”

"This..." Mrs. Mu seemed to want to say something else.

"Besides, Si Wei is right. Lei Ying was also a victim in that incident... Our hatred for her is unfair, and we should let go." Obviously, after talking with Mu Siwei on the plane that day, Mu Sihao himself thought a lot.

"You..." Unexpectedly, the two sons' thoughts would be so different from her own. Mrs. Mu got up angrily and went back to her room, with a secret plan in her heart.

The two brothers glanced at each other, "Give Mom some time... She should accept that Siqin will grow up." It was Mu Siwei who spoke, and Mu Sihao nodded.

"Do you know when Siqin will come back?" Mu Sihao asked.

"I'll call her tomorrow to ask her... It's been a week since Doctor Li Xia sent her a letter, so she should be less suspicious." Mu Siwei said.

"Okay, let me know when you have news."

"Brother, thank you."

"Thank you? I just... don't want to be a negligent brother again..." Mu Sihao said sadly.

"Don't blame yourself...I believe Siqin never blamed you."

"I didn't protect her well..." Thinking back, Mu Sihao was still in pain.

"Then this time, let's protect her well." Mu Siwei patted his brother on the shoulder.

"I will, definitely will." Mu Sihao said firmly.

Lei Ying came out of the set tiredly, and Xu Kaiwei hadn't been with her for the past few days, which made her a little uncomfortable.

There's no way, Xu Kaiwei is busy with Ji Yurou's business for a while... and in a week, Mu Siqin will also come.

Youyou sighed, and the assistant Amy at the side greeted her with concern.

"It's okay, I'm a little tired..." The two walked to the door of the hotel together, and a familiar figure caught Lei Ying's gaze.

The surprise lasted only a few seconds. As the other party, it was not difficult to find her.

Turning around and telling Amy to go upstairs first, Lei Ying walked towards the other party alone, pulled out the chair and sat down opposite.

"Lei Ying, long time no see." Madam Mu greeted her with a smile.

"Auntie, long time no see." Lei Ying smiled politely.

"You have grown up and become more beautiful." Mrs. Mu looked at Lei Ying carefully.

"Auntie isn't looking for me to reminisce about the past, is it?" Lei Ying ignored her compliment and asked straightforwardly.

Mrs. Mu was stunned.

Lei Ying suddenly understood why she came to find her.

"I think, you came to see me today because you want me to keep a distance from Siqin?"

"You already know..."

Lei Ying smiled helplessly, "It's normal for you to make this request... After all, Siqin is because of me..."

"Lei Ying," Mrs. Mu interrupted her, "I'm sorry, Auntie knows that it wasn't your fault..."

Lei Ying didn't expect to hear such words, she didn't know how to react for a while, even, she wanted to cry a little.

"But..." Mrs. Mu paused, "You are right, I came here to ask you to keep a distance from Siqin."

"I understand." Lei Ying nodded, sure enough...she still didn't forgive herself.

"I slapped you back then... I'm really sorry..."

"Auntie, you don't need to apologize, I know it all." Lei Ying didn't want to listen to her anymore, those polite words couldn't hide her resentment towards herself.

"Lei Ying... Auntie, please..." Mrs. Mu looked at Lei Ying earnestly.

Lei Ying couldn't bear that gaze.

An idea flashed through her mind, and Lei Ying quickly grasped it. Perhaps, this was her only chance to figure everything out...

"Auntie, I can agree to your request..."

"Really? Lei Ying..."

Lei Ying raised her hand to ask her to listen to herself, "I can promise you to keep a distance from Siqin, but...can you also let me know what happened to Siqin?"

Mrs. Mu hesitated... Should I tell Lei Ying?

"Auntie, I just want to know how Siqin got better after I left...that's all."

After a brief silence, Mrs. Mu spoke slowly...

"After you left, perhaps because of your lack of stimulation, Siqin's condition gradually improved, as if she was gradually recovering from a breakdown, but she still had nightmares almost every day, woke up screaming every night, and then lost control again... ...After about half a year, except for the nightmare at night, she was able to talk to the doctor about it during the day, but the doctor found that she had a very strong sense of self-loathing, and even suicidal thoughts kept appearing in her mind... Then For a while, we can say that we dare not leave her alone for 24 hours, fearing that something irreversible will happen.” She paused, looking at Lei Ying, who was waiting for her to continue with a blank expression. .

"It happened after you left for a year. One day she suddenly asked you...Si Hao asked her if she wanted to see you? She shook her head, and said she can't be with you anymore. Later the doctor told us, Siqin tried very hard to make us feel that she was okay, she knew that we were all worried about her...but she still couldn't accept herself like that...she told the doctor that she wished she hadn't met you, so that everything would be alright It will happen... We all thought she was blaming you at first, but the doctor said that she had talked with Siqin many times before she realized that Siqin was blaming herself. She felt that, to some extent, she ruined your life... ..."

"I..." Lei Ying clenched her hands into fists, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

"She tells you about your stubborn personality, and she will definitely do what you promised her. We don't understand what she is talking about, but she doesn't want to say more...Lei Ying, what did you promise her?"

"Didn't Siqin tell you?" Lei Ying asked.

Madam Mu shook her head.

"Then I think, if Siqin doesn't want others to know, I shouldn't speak out for her." Lei Ying let Mrs. Mu hit a soft nail.

Without forcing Lei Ying, Mrs. Mu sighed and continued: "Later she even asked the doctor if there was a way to make her forget all of this, forget about you, and forget about that, otherwise she will... sooner or later... At that time, although she seemed to be fine, she had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep every night... Even after taking the medicine, she would still be woken up by nightmares from time to time... Finally, the doctor asked us if we would consider "hypnotherapy" ’, let her forget this matter, and forget you too, you have had too much influence on her..."

"She agreed?" Lei Ying heard her voice trembling.

"She has struggled for a long time... Lei Ying, she really misses you... But at the same time, she also understands that if she doesn't do this, she might really..."

"I understand." Lei Ying said.

How could she not understand Mu Siqin?The girl who loved her more than herself...just...

"So, she finally took the doctor's advice?"

"Well, she accepted. We found an authoritative hypnotherapy doctor. At first, Siqin was confused for a while, as if she couldn't figure out what was really happening... The whole treatment lasted for about half a year. After that, the doctor suggested that we let her go Siqin left the United States to prevent her from receiving any related incentives..."

"including me."

"Yes, including you. But I just found out a few days ago that Siqin had an agreement with Si Hao before receiving treatment..."

"What agreement?" Lei Ying thought of Mu Siwei's evasive attitude when she asked Mu Sihao why he invested in her when she came that day.

Mrs. Mu told Lei Ying everything she knew from her son.

Lei Ying suddenly realized that even when Mu Siqin was in the most painful time, she was still the only one on Mu Siqin's mind...

"Lei Ying, Auntie, please..."

"Auntie, don't worry, I will keep a distance from Siqin, and I won't have much contact with her outside of work... I don't want her to think about that again..." Lei Ying didn't want to say any more think.

"Si Wei is right, you were also a victim in that incident, it's just..."

"Auntie, I am very clear about the purpose of your visit, and we have reached an agreement. I think, let's do this first! After a day of filming, I am also tired, so please forgive me." Lei Ying finished speaking, before Mrs. Mu In response, he left and took the elevator upstairs.

Back in the room, the suppressed emotions finally broke down.

Lei Ying fell on the bed and burst into tears.

It's not that she hasn't discussed with Xu Kaiwei that Mu Siqin doesn't know her... Obviously this result was expected, but why is it still so... painful...?

She knows what Mrs. Mu said, she understands Mu Siqin, but...

"How could you ruin my life? I ruined you..."

"You want me to work hard to become a superstar, but you choose to leave my world...then what should I do?"

"I know it's good for you, but... you're really, really selfish..."

"Qin, this is really unfair...you forget me in a chic way, but I firmly remember everything between us...now I can't get close to you, isn't this too cruel?"

"You really don't want to think of me at all?"

Lei Ying repeated these words on the bed, she longed for Mu Siqin to hear, but what Mu Siqin would never know...

Weakness should not appear on Lei Ying...

After sleeping and waking up, at dawn, she will turn back into the strong Lei Ying.She has to.
