Chapter 8 of such kindness

Xi Yuancheng saw that his wife was silent. She was still analyzing the situation.

He took it as an opportunity to present more arguments. "On the other hand, Mu Ru is different. She grew up with a servant and has a docile and obedient character. She knows how to submit to adversity. She will do whatever Dongfang Mo will require of her. With such a well-behaved character, it will be best for her to marry Dongfang Mo."

Mu Xue turned to Mu Ru and said, "Mu Ru, good sister, will you marry Dongfang Mo for me?"

Mu Xue walked over to Mu Ru and held her hand. She spoke very gently. It was the first time Mu Xue had ever called Mu Ru her sister.

Mu Ru bit her lips and did not make a sound. In her heart, she was wondering if she should resist. She wondered whether it was time to make their father realize that she wasn't always obedient.

However, before she could speak, Mu Xue said something again.

"Mu Ru, don't you think that if I hadn't pleaded for Father to let you accompany me to school, you might still be that little girl helping Mother Wang do chores. Instead, you ended up being a university student. I've treated you so well. You should at least repay my kindness, right?"

After Mu Xue spoke, Mu Ru's heart ached. Everything that Mu Xue said was true. Mu Xue started kindergarten when she was only three years old, while Mu Ru could only stay at home by Mother Wang's side until she was seven years old. When Mu Xue was about to enter the first grade of primary school, she suddenly envied her classmates for going to school with companions. She then begged their father to send Mu Ru to school so that someone could accompany her every day.

"Mu Ru, when you were born, a fortune teller told us that you were unlucky because of the mark on your forehead. We originally wanted to throw you away, but instead of throwing you into the river to drown, we allowed Mother Wang to raise you. You should repay this kindness, right?" Xi Yuancheng asked.

Xi Yuancheng had already grown impatient. He spoke loudly when he saw that Mu Ru remained silent.

Mu Ru knew that she had no way out of it. Because Xi Yuancheng had decided on something that she had no power to resist, she could only obey his wishes.

A year ago, Mu Xue's fiance, Dongfang Mo, had been in a car accident and was admitted in the hospital for quite a long time. The Dongfang family had requested that Mu Xue go to the hospital to see Dongfang Mo every day, but Mu Xue was unwilling to go. She felt that seeing Dongfang Mo was was like going to see a ghost. She didn't want to have nightmares. She wanted to wait for Dongfang Mo to recover before she went to see him.

However, since their father had always had business dealings with the Dongfang family and since her marriage to Dongfang Mo had long been arranged, she did not dare to offend the Dongfang family. She ordered Mu Ru to pretend to be her and to go see Dongfang Mo.

Mu Ru and Mu Xue were twins, and they looked almost exactly the same. Of course, Mu Ru had to conceal her forehead because of the birthmark. Mu Xue had a fair and beautiful forehead, while Mu Ru's had a dark, purple, thumb-sized birthmark that looked like a crescent moon.

Mu Ru had always been obedient towards her father, even when she didn't completely agree with him. She had no choice but to use thick bangs to cover her forehead. Every day, she would bring Mother Wang's soup to the hospital to visit Dongfang Mo. Dongfang Mo stayed in that hospital for half a year before he was transferred to a foreign hospital for further treatment and rehabilitation.

During the time she spent visiting him, Mu Ru did not really have any problem, because Dongfang Mo was wrapped in gauze. Even his eyes could not clearly be seen because the gauze was wrapped tightly around his head.
