Su Zi.
It was just two simple words, but they scared Mu Zi so much that her soul almost left her body!
She knew that she was definitely different from the original Mu Zi. She did not know anything about the original person's temperament and habits, so even if she tried to hide it, the others would definitely be able to tell that something was different.
Even so, she was never worried about that before.
That was because Mu Zi was still young, and any change could be explained by the reason that she 'grew up and became sensible'! Besides, adolescent girls were fickle!
However, she never expected that Mu Rongcheng would directly use the name 'Su Zi' to test her!
How did he come to that conclusion?!
A normal person would never think of such strange and absurd things such as the resurrection of the dead!
Mu Rongcheng simply called her name, but Mu Zi's brain was flipping over all kinds of emergency measures. Her brain capacity went into overload and was about to explode!
The room was eerily quiet.
She stayed still for a long time before finally turning around softly. Her eyes were clear and pure with a hint of panic.
"Brother…" Mu Zi's soft voice trembled. "
She tried her best to play a timid little girl.
Mu Rongcheng looked at her for a while before smirking maliciously. His mocking voice was low. "Did I call her? I called your name, Mu Zi. You heard me wrong."
'I heard him wrong?'
Mu Zi was stunned. Then, anger surged in her chest!
She felt that Mu Rongcheng was clearly toying with her!
Even if the two names had 'Zi' in it, they were still two very different names! How could she have heard him wrong?!
He had to mess with her when she still had yet to get used to her identity!
Mu Zi pretended to be afraid on the surface but seethed in her heart.
She rubbed her hands up and down her arms, and intentionally said, "Oh, I heard you wrong, but brother, aren't you afraid to sleep next door to third brother and third sister-in-law? ...What if third sister-in-law comes back to find third brother and enters the wrong room…"
As if deeply unsettled, she then said, "Just thinking of it makes me scared. It's pretty gloomy here, so I'd better go first. Brother, don't forget to eat breakfast."
She opened the door and went out. Her heart was in turmoil and her breath was a little unsteady.
This time, Mu Rongcheng did not stop her.
After leaving Mu Rongcheng's room, Mu Zi felt revived. Her body relaxed.
She thought, 'What I said wasn't wrong. That room really was eerie. It's broad daylight but there wasn't any light in there at all...'
...
Mu Zi met Mu Zening after he had finished breakfast when she went downstairs. She hurried away with her head down and brushed past him, having no intention to show her presence.
Who knew that she would be strangely unlucky today! Everyone seemed to be looking for trouble with her!
"Zizi." Mu Zening suddenly stopped her.
Mu Zi's legs went weak as she descended the stairs and almost fell!
In the past, Mu Zening had often called her 'Zizi' affectionately and gently.
Mu Zening realized the same pronunciation of the two names after he had called her, and a stunned expression flashed across his face for a moment.
Mu Zi held onto the railing tightly, her head lowered in silence.
Out of courtesy, she should call him 'third brother' and it was better to add a 'good morning' as well.
However, her throat seemed to seize at the face of the man in front of her. She felt the blood in her veins freeze. She could not make a single sound and was even having difficulty breathing.
...How hateful!
'Just the thought that he used to tell me he loved me while he kept that kind of relationship with Qiao Jingjia at the same time… makes me want to vomit!'
Mu Zi felt disgusted.
She silently took a step back on the stairs, keeping a distance from Mu Zening.
Mu Zening said, "Little Ling was badly injured yesterday, so find a chance to apologize to her. You're not a child anymore. You shouldn't stay cooped up at home all the time. It's better to find a school and study hard."
