One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love-Chapter 735 - 733: Washing Away the Sins of Her Lifetime

"From now on, no one in the Jiang Family is allowed to mention the name Mu Qingxin!"

——

Luo Yan is clear that from now on, Mu Qingxin will truly disappear from their lives, vanish completely without a trace.

She desperately wants to share this good news with everyone but cannot; she can only secretly rejoice, pretending to wear an expression of worry and distress.

She scorns her current self, but compared to what Mu Qingxin did, she feels it really counts for nothing.

Yes, it really counts for nothing.

Jiang Yixiu kept his word and truly did not look at Mu Qingxin once, maintaining his cold-heartedness to the extreme.

Old Madam Jiang, even as she sat in the car, felt anxious and uneasy. She didn’t know how Mu Qingxin would react when she wakes up and finds out the child is gone.

She didn’t dare to imagine—

From these few days of interaction, she could roughly guess that Mu Qingxin’s motivation to stay alive was... this child.

And her sense of guilt toward the Jiang Family, her desperate desire for redemption.

But now the child is gone...

Which means she very likely will...

No, don’t think about it anymore.

That woman almost caused the Jiang Family to fall apart, leaving them with nothing; now, the old master is still lying in the hospital unconscious.

The sins she carries may only be truly cleansed by "death."

Don’t sympathize with her, don’t pity her; everyone must pay for their mistakes.

No exceptions, no one can escape.

At this moment, Old Madam Jiang’s face turned extremely unpleasant; she had never lied in her life, and the first time she did was to her own son.

She instinctively glanced at him, reached out to hold him, "Yixiu, don’t blame mom."

"Mom, what are you saying!" Jiang Yixiu assumed she was just scared, "It’s okay, don’t be afraid—"

Luo Yan, sitting next to her, naturally understood the underlying meaning of Old Madam’s words; she clenched her hand tightly in secret, realizing that Old Madam had truly been moved by sympathy.

...

Mu Qingxin woke up again after two days; when she heard the doctor say the child was gone, her expression remained calm as water.

Upon closer inspection, it was the silence near death, the taut string inside her suddenly snapped—

She truly couldn’t find even the slightest will to continue living, not even a little bit.

She quietly lay in bed for a whole day, her empty eyes staring at the white ceiling, no longer feeling any pain from her body; it could be said she wasn’t actually alive.

At most, she’s just a walking corpse now.

No more Ah Sheng, no more child, no more... that person, why should she continue to live?

Before, she always thought she was strong, but now she finally realized she’s actually just superficially tough, strong on the outside but weak like tofu on the inside, unable to withstand anything.

Late at night, Mu Qingxin asked the nurse for some cosmetics, and alone she groomed herself in the bathroom.

She drew her eyebrows, applied lipstick, swept on blush, and curled her eyelashes...

After a bit of touching up, her originally emaciated face finally had some color, and she no longer looked like a wandering soul, but like a person.

Nurses doing night shifts in hospitals are prone to napping, and Mu Qingxin took the opportunity to sneak out.

Her initial plan was to jump off a building, but that would make for an unsightly death; her lifelong commitment to vanity couldn’t accept it, especially since she’s also a bit afraid of heights.

After much contemplation and struggle, she ultimately decided on drowning in the sea.

Just treat the seawater as holy water, cleansing her sins of this lifetime, and perhaps in the next life, she could be reborn into a good family, with loving parents, growing up in a normal environment—

No more psycho brother.

No regrets, no attachments.

Mu Qingxin saw the waves coming, and she ran toward them—

Instantly, at the deserted beach, no silhouette could be seen anymore.

...

In the dead of night, Jiang Yixiu sat up in bed suddenly, drenched in sweat, his movements startled the person beside him.

The woman awoke from her daze, her soft, boneless hand placed on his chest, "Yixiu, what’s wrong?"
