Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Ning Zitong Awakens! Ah Jing, Knock Some Sense into Me! I Was Wrong, I Was Wrong! [1]

Hearing the words Mu Qianshui said, Ning Zitong’s body stiffened, her whole body turned cold, and her heart was uncontrollably pounding wildly in her chest.

"Yuan, you... what are you talking about?"

Ning Zitong clutched her heart, struggling to breathe.

"What happened to the Mu family? Why, why are you like this..."

"Hmph." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Watching Ning Zitong in pain, Mu Qianshui wrapped her arms and chuckled dismissively.

"This is what your Mu family owes me! I want to watch each and every one of you face unbearable ends with a smile!"

"Yuan, you..."

Ning Zitong pressed her heart against the wall, pointing incredulously at the person in front of her.

"Yuan, how did you become like this? Why? Are you blaming Mom for all her shortcomings toward you these 18 years?"

Hearing this, Mu Qianshui couldn’t help but laugh.

She walked up to Ning Zitong, shook her head with a smile of regret.

"Ning Zitong, I suddenly feel a bit sorry for you? You really look both pathetic and stupid. I’m genuinely curious—do you really feel nothing, or do you still refuse to admit certain existing facts?"

Mu Qianshui sneered coldly, her gaze suddenly tightened.

"Ning Zitong, open your eyes and look clearly, I am not that bitch Mu Qianyuan!"

"You..."

"I am far prettier, smarter, and more powerful than that bitch Mu Qianyuan! How could I be that bitch?"

At the mention of Mu Qianyuan, Mu Qianshui’s face instantly turned savage.

Her envy and jealousy toward Mu Qianyuan had reached the bone, and this jealousy had long escalated into intense hatred!

"My dear mother, don’t you recognize me anymore? You’ve raised me for twenty-three years, how could you not recognize me? Hmm?"

"Wha-what?"

Ning Zitong’s eyes widened in horror, gazing at the seemingly gentle and delicate face in front of her, those eyes truly round and large, but that expression...

"You, you are..."

Ning Zitong pointed at her, panting rapidly, suddenly, her eyes lit up!

"Qian, Qianshui! You are Qianshui!"

Mu Qianshui’s lips curled upon hearing this,

"Sure enough, my dear mother hasn’t forgotten her good daughter, how is it? Surprised? Unexpected?"

"You, you didn’t die... Qianshui, you didn’t die!"

Upon hearing the acknowledgment from the person in front of her, a trace of surprise and doubt flashed in Ning Zitong’s eyes.

"Qianshui, it’s really you! Since you’re not dead, why haven’t you returned home or told Mom? Why impersonate Yuan? Qianshui, you..."

"Stop pretending!"

Mu Qianshui abruptly interrupted, glaring at the increasingly pale Ning Zitong with hostility.

"If your Mu family really cared about me, your adopted daughter, would you have sent anyone to look for me? Did you assume I was dead without seeing a corpse? You could offer a huge reward to find that bitch Mu Qianyuan, but what about me? Did you ever look for me!"

"Qianshui, Mom did send people to look for you, Mom even sent your brother to the Mo family to discuss justice with Yan Xinxin and Mo Chuxi for you, even though you’re my adopted daughter, over the years, Mom has long treated you as her own!"

Ning Zitong explained.

She still had motherly feelings towards Mu Qianshui, having raised her since childhood, there was bound to be affection...

"Hahaha! You looked for me? You even sent that fool Mu Shaoqian to seek justice from Yan Xinxin for me?"

Mu Qianshui’s laughter echoed, almost reaching the living room downstairs and Mu Shaoqian’s room.

"Qianshui, please don’t be like this. Mom really hasn’t given up on you, nor treated you as an outsider, Mom..."

"Shut up!"

Mu Qianshui impatiently interrupted, mocking as she glanced at Ning Zitong’s currently pale face.

"Mrs. Mu, don’t you want to know something from my mouth right now?"

"Qianshui..."

"Don’t you really want to know who your precious daughter, whom you’ve been longing for nearly twenty years, Mu Qianyuan, really is and where she is?"
