Chapter 136: The Past Is The Past. Does It Matter?

“What did you say?” Mu Siyin was utterly shocked!
Didn’t his father die from a severe illness?
This piece of news even hit the capital like a storm back then. Everyone said that it was a pity for someone like Father Shi to die from sickness at such a young age. After all, he was from such a good family background.
However, Shi Beiyu was now saying that his father had died from an accident instead!
A daring thought popped up in her head instantly.
She looked at Shi Beiyu in shock as she poured out her thoughts. “Was your father involved in my sister’s accident?”
Although Shi Beiyu was taken aback by what Mu Siyin had said, he bounced back immediately and nodded his head firmly. “You’re right.”
Mu Siyin was stunned by this revelation.
After all, she did not know about the details of her sister’s death. She did not even know who the other party was. All she knew was that her elder sister had died in a car accident.
However, Shi Beiyu revealed that his father was the other party.
This was too shocking.
Shi Beiyu did not want to go into the details of the past. He simply held her hand as he looked at her earnestly. This piece of news had really caught her off guard. “That’s why I said we have nothing to do with this.”
Mu Siyin still could not wrap her head around something, so she looked at him abruptly. “Then why did you guys announce that he died from sickness?”
Shi Beiyu squinted his eyes slightly and replied in a deep voice, “That was because… he drank a little that night.”
Mu Siyin widened her eyes. “Are you saying that he was drunk driving? Was that what caused the accident? ”
Shi Beiyu frowned as he nodded. “Something like that.”
“So that means that my sister was the victim! Why did your mother put all the blame on my family?”
Most importantly, if her sister had not gotten into an accident, her mother would not have died! Why did his mother hate them so much then?
This was what Mu Siyin did not understand.
Shi Beiyu felt cornered by Mu Siyin’s questions and lifted his hands to hug her. “The past is the past. Does it matter?”
Mu Siyin looked at him seriously and nodded her head. “Yes! I must know!”
She used to think the same way as Shi Beiyu — let the forgotten remain forgotten, and there was no need to care about the past so much. However, her stance had changed now.
“Our families got into bad blood because of this. That was why my mother became such an extremist when she saw you.”
Mu Siyin was still confused. “But it wasn’t our fault, to begin with.”
She started to wonder if Shi Beiyu was telling her the truth.
Perhaps it had been a long time ago, and she had coincidentally lost all of her memories before she was eight. However, she felt like she was listening to a story, and it did not traumatize her as much as the ones who had gone through it.
Shi Beiyu’s eyes darkened as he looked at her. Seeing that she had paused, he nodded his head with a complicated look on his face. “That’s why I called my mother an extremist. She has not accepted my father’s death even until now.”
Upon hearing this, the crease on Mu Siyin’s head deepened. “How could she do that to me?”
Mother Shi’s allegations really made Mu Siyin think that the Mu family had wronged the Shi family. Now that the truth came to light, she realized that the Mu family should not have been blamed at all.
Mu Siyin was suddenly reminded of the nickname that Uncle Zhong had given Mother Shi. ‘She-Devil’ really was a suitable name for this woman.
After all, Mother Shi was an unreasonable person who yelled at others before talking to them. She would even resort to violence if things did not go in her favor. What else could she be, if not a She-Devil?
Why was Shi Beiyu’s mother someone like that?
