Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Anyone who heard all of that would imagine brothers from a wealthy family fighting each other over family assets. Song Yao was no exception. Back then, she merely clicked her tongue at how brutal the means of wealthy people were.

“Why does this sound like a beautiful story of a boy striking good luck? You might think that Cen Mo could be considered a lucky boy, finally breaking away from all the hardship, being able to live a great life as the Cen family’s young master. He was supposed to be able to inherit everything from the Cen family smoothly, but it’s because he fell in love with you, forcibly breaking off our marriage agreement, that the Cen Mo was wiped out by our family…”

If Zhong Moli were to say the last part, Song Yao might really think that it was the truth…

Zhong Moli saw Song Yao’s expression and knew what she was thinking. She shook her head and said, “Cen Mo left the black market, but it seemed as if he had entered another devil’s nest. Cen Mo, who had been adopted, assumed a new identity. However, he lived a life worse than a dog’s. He was treated as a pet and kept by that woman’s side, closed up in a dark room that saw no light. People were guarding him, and he wore a collar around his neck. He was locked up in a cage together with a dog called Lucky. He had to crawl on the ground and bark like a dog to get food to satiate his hunger! She starved Cen Mo for a few days, but Cen Mo was unyielding… So, she forced Cen Mo to take drugs! She used drugs to force Cen Mo to comply…”

Song Yao didn’t have the energy to discern if what she heard was the truth or not. Her heart felt as if it was being crushed by a big hand.

Song Yao had never known that Cen Mo had been addicted to drugs…

She faintly remembered that Cen Mo mentioned previously that he had been addicted to something unhealthy in the past, and that he had used every method to get rid of the addiction!

Could it be that it was… drug addiction?

Song Yao’s heart pounded fiercely.

When Zhong Moli spoke, her eyes were as calm as water. It was as if she was saying something very ordinary, and her clear and smooth voice sounded remarkably calm…

“She treated Cen Mo as a plaything, lashing out at him with a whip when she was unhappy. She would do so until Cen Mo’s flesh split open and was covered in blood! In order to trample Cen Mo’s pride to the very bottom, she even filmed how pitiful he looked when he was pleading for drugs when his addiction kicked in. She then showed it to him when he was clear-minded!”

Song Yao clutched the bed sheets so tightly that her blood flowed back through the IV drip that was attached to one of her arms.

“The dog called Lucky was always by Cen Mo’s side during that time. Dogs are intelligent creatures. When it saw that Cen Mo was hurt, it would lick his wounds. It would also warm him up during the cold winter nights! You might feel that this is very unbelievable, but back then… Cen Mo treated Lucky as the very last bit of warmth in this world!”

Lucky…

Song Yao had heard Cen Mo calling out that word in his dreams on multiple occasions. However, she’d never have thought that Lucky was a dog!

“That woman knew that a relationship had been forged between Cen Mo and Lucky. She ordered Cen Mo to kill Lucky with his own hands. Otherwise, she wouldn’t give him drugs. Even when Cen Mo’s drug addiction kicked in, he would forcibly hold it in and not do anything to Lucky. He made it through the first time, then the second. That woman felt that given Cen Mo’s willpower… it wouldn’t be impossible for him to kick the addiction if things went on like that. Therefore, she thought of a method to make use of Lucky to destroy Cen Mo’s willpower…”

Song Yao’s heart pounded increasingly faster. She never knew that there were such vicious people in the world!

Seeing that the green veins on Song Yao’s neck had popped up, there were hints of a smile in the depth of Zhong Moli’s eyes…

At the very least, she could tell that Song Yao cared about Cen Mo. Otherwise… Song Yao would only display astonishment and sympathy. She wouldn’t be so angry!

Zhong Moli continued to speak calmly. “That woman was a psychologist and knew well how she could destroy a person’s mind. She gave Lucky better treatment, allowing it to enter and exit the basement freely. During that time, Cen Mo didn’t get many beatings. Thereafter, the amount of time Lucky went back became shorter and shorter until, eventually, it didn’t return at all…”

Song Yao’s eyes trembled. She was guessing about whether… Lucky had been killed.

“After Cen Mo had been starved for two days, as usual, the servants gave him a pot of meat to eat. However, after he ate it, Cen Mo’s adoptive mother showed him how Lucky had wagged its tail in front of her to beg for more delicious food. She also showed him how it had been slaughtered by the chef while being terror-stricken… becoming that pot of meat that Cen Mo had eaten!”

There was no way that Song Yao would have been able to guess that ending, no matter how hard she tried…

How could a person be so vicious?

What kind of feud did Cen Mo have with that adoptive mother of his, that she would do something so terrible to him?

All of that challenged Song Yao’s recognition, bringing her greater awareness of how evil humans could be. It challenged Song Yao’s level of mental acceptance!

Song Yao was already unable to accept those things just from hearing them. But what if she were to experience them herself?

Song Yao felt that if she was the one who was put through all of that… she’d probably have gone crazy a long time ago! Or she might have committed suicide!

What on earth had driven Cen Mo to continue living?

Song Yao thought of Cen Mo’s younger sister, Lu Xiangsi. Cen Mo had said that from when he was alone overseas until he came back to the country, what had supported him to clench his teeth and persist on through life and death situations was the thought of coming back to fetch his sister, Lu Xiangsi. However, it was only after he returned to the country that he found out that his sister had died in Iraq, and it was because of Jiang Ming’an’s mother!

Therefore, the first thing that Cen Mo did was destroy the entire Jiang family to avenge his younger sister!

If not for Fu Huai’an helping Jiang Chengyuan later on, Cen Mo would have been able to see Jiang Chengyuan and his wife jumping off the Jiang Building’s rooftop!

The reason Cen Mo didn’t make sure to kill every last one of them was in consideration of Jiang Chengyuan having brought Lu Xiangsi away and taken care of her after the Lu family had fallen. They didn’t treat her like a dog. It was also because Fu Huai’an had been Lu Xiangsi’s lover!

Love was love, and a feud was a feud. After seeing the almost maniacal state that Jiang Ming’an’s mother was in, and at the thought of how she had also lost her son, Cen Mo didn’t continue to harp on the matter!

“One day, Cen Mo’s adoptive father invited my uncle and me to the Cen family as guests. Cen Mo was brought out from the basement…”

Zhong Moli’s voice brought Song Yao back to her senses. She looked toward Zhong Moli with reddened eyes, listening to what she was saying…

“Cen Mo had been put into clean clothes and sat together with his other adopted brothers at the long table to dine together with us. Cen Mo thought that he’d be free after having met that adoptive father. However, it was only at the dining table that he realized that his adoptive father was one who liked boys… Do you understand what I mean?”

Song Yao’s countenance turned ghastly pale.

It hadn’t been just one or two days since Song Yao had entered the circle. She had heard about some of the disgusting things that people in the upper class would do…

In this world, there were many old men who were perverts and liked boys!

Zhong Moli’s lips twitched as she said, “That’s right. It’s the type of like you’re thinking about! All of the adopted sons that Cen Mo’s adoptive father had… with the exception of Cen Mo, hadn’t been able to escape from that fate!”
