ALL NOVEL Chapter 2: Unwilling Because He Was Blind in Both Eyes and Heart
Chapter 2: Unwilling Because He Was Blind in Both Eyes and Heart
Back in his room, Su Mu used his last bit of strength to change into pajamas and lie down.
His already exhausted body could no longer hold on, and he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, the moon was bright and stars were sparse.
Evidently, after Father Su and Mother Su returned home, not one person came to check on Su Mu’s condition.
They didn’t even call him for dinner.
But that was fine – having no disturbances allowed Su Mu to get enough rest. His vertigo was originally triggered by lack of sleep, and after getting enough rest, the dizziness had significantly improved.
He went to the kitchen and made himself a simple bowl of egg noodles. The current Su Mu didn’t know how to cook, but the reincarnated Su Mu did.
He had specifically learned it for that beast in his previous life, but sadly, his love had been misplaced.
In April, early mornings were still exceptionally cold.
After reincarnating, Su Mu’s first thought was to strengthen his body through exercise.
With these skinny arms and legs, he could be easily manipulated by others – how could he handle dangerous situations in the future?
Moreover, the pain of being paralyzed in bed in his previous life was still vivid. In this second chance, he was determined to have a healthy body.
At dawn today, he started jogging around the Su residence.
When he returned after his morning run, the Su Yuanshan family was having breakfast in the dining room.
Su Mu didn’t even glance at them, heading straight for his room to shower.
At this moment, Mother Su called out to him.
“Mu’er, you fainted yesterday and didn’t meet Uncle Chu. Today, your Uncle Chu is bringing Hanting over, so don’t mess up. Dress well, there’s a suit prepared for you on the sofa.”
“Listen to your mother, Mu’er. Later, speak properly with your Grandfather Chu, don’t offend anyone,” Father Su chimed in.
“Brother, Father and Mother are right. This Chu Hanting is the future heir of the Chu Group. You absolutely can’t miss such a good marriage prospect,” Su Ning pretended to have Su Mu’s best interests at heart.
“Good marriage prospect? You want it? Then take it.”
Su Mu certainly wouldn’t give up his man, but he knew Su Ning wouldn’t want it.
Sure enough, the other party spoke in a delicate voice, “thoughtfully” saying: “Brother, I won’t compete with you. Good things naturally belong to big brother.”
Mother Su chimed in: “Ning’er is right. Although you’re not my biological son, when the marriage was arranged, it was meant for you. The Su family has raised you for over twenty years – even if not by blood, you’re still half my son. This marriage should be yours.”
Su Mu’s indifferent face finally showed a hint of amusement. He looked at Father Su and asked: “Mr. Su, is that what you think too?”
Father Su, suddenly addressed, felt something was off. He hadn’t realized that the former Su Mu had been meek and compliant, nothing like now when he dared to question back.
He put down his chopsticks and advised earnestly: “Mu’er, though you’re not our biological child, you were raised by the Su family, and this marriage was meant for you. Besides, your birth father’s family has no money. Marrying into the Chu family would secure your future.”
“What if I refuse?”
“You have no choice,” Father Su slammed the table heavily.
Father Su’s sudden anger made Mother Su, who only knew how to bully, and Su Ning, who was watching the drama while secretly laughing inside, both tremble.
Yet Su Mu, directly facing Father Su’s anger, remained composed. His pale face even showed a flush, sparking his desire to tease them.
How could he be unwilling? His previous unwillingness was due to his own blindness of heart and mind. Now, if not for fear of being too forward, he would have already clung to that person.
But how could he let the Su family’s schemes succeed so easily?
He loved seeing them flustered, exhausted, and reduced to begging.
“But these are my legs. If I’m unwilling, what can you do about it?”
These words left Mother Su in disbelief – was this still her obedient son?
How could he have completely changed since waking up yesterday, contradicting them at every turn? Hadn’t the previous Su Mu always let them make decisions for him?
After years of marriage, Mother Su knew Su Yuanshan’s temperament all too well. Usually, things could be discussed, but once he spoke as head of the family, no one dared question him.
Wasn’t this like pulling a tiger’s whiskers?!!
Father Su smiled, his brow concealing something sinister like a coiled snake. His usual gentleness vanished, replaced by a cold, vicious aura.
Su Mu wasn’t afraid; rather, he watched with interest as the false facade crumbled.
Like teasing a husky that bared its fangs, thinking itself a Tibetan Mastiff, unaware of how foolish its actions were.
“Mu’er, be good and listen. The marriage alliance with the Chu family is good for everyone.”
“If this succeeds, I can let you stay in the Su family. Don’t you want to avoid returning to your birth father?”
Father Su believed this condition would be enough to control Su Mu.
“You speak as if anyone cares. The Su family – I’m not worthy. You’d better prepare the paperwork to formally sever our relationship.”
With that, Su Mu strode into the kitchen, took his breakfast, and went straight upstairs.
Father Su stared at Su Mu’s defiant back, deeply puzzled – how had one illness suddenly made him uncontrollable? Had the fever really damaged his brain?
Su Ning, who had observed everything, breathed a sigh of relief. When Su Yuanshan offered to let Su Mu stay in the Su family, his heart had tightened suddenly.
What was this about? They brought him back, yet would still keep a fake in the house? How could he swallow this?
He couldn’t wait for Su Mu to be sent back to his rural hometown, to experience the harsh life he’d lived for over twenty years.
