Chapter 1463: Great to Have You (23)
She returned to Tang Yucheng’s ward to discover that the three of them were still there. Noticing that Tang Mianmian was nowhere in sight, Tang Kangcheng’s wife asked, “Sis-in-law, where’s Mianmian?”
Mu Wansheng said, “I left her in someone else’s care.”
“What? Who did you leave her with? What if that person sells her away?” she asked in astonishment.
Mu Wansheng said, “He won’t. Let’s go home, I have something to talk to your brother about.”
“Just where did you leave the child? You’re such an irresponsible mother.”
Mu Wansheng said, “I’ll talk to your brother in private. You two stay out of this.”
Tang Yucheng said, “We’ll talk when we get home.”
Mu Wansheng walked away with Snowman. Tang Kangcheng then grabbed the suitcases while his wife wheeled Tang Yucheng out in his wheelchair.
Mu Wansheng stayed silent throughout the journey home. She did not utter a single word even when Tang Yucheng handed the bank account card to his sister-in-law.
Upon returning home, Tang Kangcheng and his wife left, allowing them to be alone with each other.
Mu Wansheng sat on the chair and said, “I need to have a serious talk with you.”
“Yes.”
“I’m eternally grateful to you for saving my life. I’m also very thankful for the kindness and care that you showed me and Mianmian before your accident. However, if you plan to use that as a tool to harm me, I won’t put up with you forever. Let’s make things clear now. If you’re willing to go back to the way that you were before, let’s continue as we have been. If you’re worried that I’m after your money, let’s get a divorce.”
Tang Yucheng was shocked to hear how serious she was.
“Where are you going to go if we get a divorce?”
“Do you really think I have nowhere to go? There are places I can go to, it all depends on whether I want to go there or not. Don’t think that I’ve lost my survival abilities just because I’m blind now. That’s not the case. If Mianmian were your biological daughter, would you have splashed the hot food onto her face? Touch your heart and ask yourself. You may hurt me, but I’ll never allow you to hurt my daughter, Tang Yucheng.”
Tang Yucheng explained, “I didn’t mean to do that. I don’t know what had gotten into me either. I was just really frustrated and angry. Happy, I too think that I had gone overboard, but I’ll definitely change my ways. Happy, I won’t do that to you and Mianmian again. Will you forgive me this time?”
Mu Wansheng said resolutely, “I’ll forgive you just this once. If you lash out at us again, we’ll get a divorce. I may be blind, but my heart is not blind. I won’t continue to indulge and tolerate your ill-temper. I hope you’ll really change your mindset. Life still has to go on and complaining is not going to solve the problem.”
She had never spoken to him in such an austere manner before. He had always thought that she was a gentle and soft-spoken woman. Even until now, he still felt that he was the only person whom she could rely on.
“Got it.”
“I’m being serious. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. It’s normal for one to change drastically in temperament after a traumatic event. You’ll definitely be upset, but it’ll get better after some time. However, you didn’t get over it at all. I hope you can get over it soon.”
“So where’s Mianmian?”
“With her biological father,” said Mu Wansheng.
As soon as Tang Yucheng heard her words, a sullen expression formed on his face and he glowered at her angrily. “Did you let him acknowledge her?” he questioned.
“No.”
“How did it happen, then?”
“I entered his ward by accident when I was searching for yours and I mistook him for you. He asked me if I needed help, so I told him to help me look after her for a while.”
“Did he agree to it?”
“Yes, he did.”
Tang Yucheng was speechless. He hollered, “He doesn’t know that she’s his daughter. What if he harms her!?!”
Mu Wansheng said firmly, “He won’t.”
“Do you trust him that much?”
“I know him very well. He won’t do that. I just thought that it would be safer to leave her in his care for the time being. I’ll think about what to do some time later.”
Tang Yucheng retorted angrily, “You’re still thinking of returning to his side, aren’t you? Do you really think he’ll still want you? He’s already married now. Why would he abandon his beautiful and wealthy wife for you?”
Quivering uncontrollably in pique, Mu Wansheng flew into a rage and hollered, “I don’t know if he’ll still want me, but I have sufficient self-awareness to know that I don’t deserve him. If I returned to his side back then, he would have definitely wanted to take responsibility for me. I’m well aware of that fact. I was the one who chose not to go back to him because I know that he’s already married now. I’m not planning to make him get back together with me. Aren’t you overthinking it?”
“Why did you leave him to babysit Mianmian, then? You just want him to nurture feelings for her, don’t you? At the end of the day, he’s still her biological father and I’m not!”
Mu Wansheng was at a loss for words. It seemed nothing she said would be right.
Tang Yucheng finally managed to calm himself down.
“Wansheng, I don’t want you to leave me. I’ve already gotten used to having you by my side. Bring Mianmian home. I promise this won’t happen again. I promise.”
“You can’t even control your own emotions. How can you promise that you won’t?”
“Are you doubting me now?”
“No, let’s just observe the situation for a while. Once your emotions are stable, I’ll bring the child home.”

Tang Mianmian did not cry at all when Fan Shixin was carrying her. Instead, she was staring at him with her large, sparkly eyes.
He could not help but tease her. She seemed to be easily amused and would giggle at every antic of his.
He felt an urge to get close to her.
Xiao Bai got a great shock when he arrived with the babysitter. “Chief, whose child is this?”
“She belongs to a blind woman who requested me to babysit her daughter for a period of time.”
Xiao Bai’s jaw dropped in shock. “Do you know that woman?”
“I don’t, but I’m really sympathetic toward her so I decided to give her a hand. Besides, look at this child. Doesn’t she resemble Wansheng?” Fan Shixin asked, showing Xiao Bai Tang Mianmian’s face.
Xiao Bai gasped and said, “Oh my god. She… really does.”
“I thought so too. I really like this child.”
“Don’t let Sis-in-law find out, she’d definitely hit the roof,” said Xiao Bai.
“She won’t. I still have another four-bedroom apartment in the estate. Take the babysitter and the child there. Don’t tell Xiao Huang and the rest.”
“Got it. I really wonder what the child’s mother looks like though.”
“No idea, I couldn’t see her face. She wrapped it tightly and she had a hoarse voice.”
