They were born from the same father and mother. How could they not look alike?
However, Li Jue could not say that. He could only change the topic and say, "The world is big. There are all kinds of strange things."
Mu Linlang was not satisfied with Li Jue's answer at all.
Just like how Li Jue knew her very well, she also knew Li Jue very well.
When Li Jue saw Jiujiu, there was something wrong with his gaze. At this moment, he was even stuttering. Even if Li Jue tried his best to deny it, Mu Linlang knew that not only did Li Jue know Jiujiu, but he was also very familiar with her.
Mu Linlang still wanted to marry Li Jue so that she could return to the upper class. Naturally, she could not fall out with Li Jue and question him loudly. Therefore, she chose a more roundabout way of asking, "Ah Jue, I feel that my body is much better than before. When can I have the surgery?"
At this point, Mu Linlang looked at Li Jue shyly and said in a muffled voice, "I want to give birth to your child."
If it was said that for a woman, spending money casually was the most perfect confession, then telling a man that she wanted to give birth to his child was more touching than saying a thousand words.
After all, giving birth to a child was a matter of stepping into the gates of hell. When a woman took the initiative to give birth to a child for you, she really loved you.
If Mu Linlang had said this to Li Jue in the past, Li Jue would definitely be touched to the bone. But now, ever since Mu Rong chased Mu Linlang's family over and Mu Linlang said that she wanted to marry him the next day, Mu Linlang's image of a little fairy instantly collapsed.
At this moment, when she saw Jiujiu, she suddenly told him that she wanted to give birth to his child. Li Jue could not help but think too much.
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder. In Li Jue's eyes, Mu Linlang was definitely the embodiment of perfection.
However, this was self-modesty. However, ever since Mu Linlang asked for marriage, Mu Linlang had already stepped down from the altar. After seeing Jiujiu, she told him that she wanted to give birth to his child. It would be strange if Li Jue did not think otherwise.
Mu Linlang had congenital heart disease. She couldn't even have sex, let alone give birth to a child. If she wanted to give birth to a child for herself, she had to have already undergone a heart transplant.
Mu Linlang's words sounded like she wanted to give birth to a child for her, but in fact, she was asking about her heart problems tactfully.
Li Jue knew that he shouldn't think of Mu Linlang that way, but for some reason, he subconsciously thought of her that way.
Li Jue lowered his eyes to hide the suspicion in his heart. Pursing his lips slightly, he picked up the wine glass and drank the red wine in one gulp. His tone was unclear as he said, "There's something wrong with the heart. We might need to find another one. Your surgery has been postponed."
The moment she saw Jiujiu, who looked almost exactly like her, Mu Linlang was almost certain that Jiujiu's heart was definitely the most suitable heart for her. Then, Li Jue actually told her that there was a problem with her heart and that she needed to find another one. Mu Linlang didn't believe it.
Everyone knew that the matching rate between relatives was the highest when it came to organ transplants. Moreover, even between relatives, there might be rejection when it came to organ transplants, let alone strangers.
When she thought of those hearts with a very low matching rate entering her body, she would have a rejection reaction because of it and might even lose half her life because of it, Mu Linlang's heart was extremely repulsed.
Mu Linlang had been sick for too long. She had endured a lot of pain, so she longed for a healthy and fresh heart more than anyone else. She also wanted to be like a normal person who could eat those nutritious junk food. She also wanted to be like a normal person who could laugh and play with her friends.
However, because of the sick and weak heart in her chest, she could only eat those tasteless nourishing food like an old woman. She could only sit in the car and watch others laugh and play, watch others sit and do those things that she wanted to do but couldn't do, and imagine how it felt to do those things over and over again in her heart.
And now, she was only one Jiujiu away from being able to return to normal. However, Li Jue directly denied it. How could Mu Linlang be willing to accept this?
Mu Linlang stared straight in Jiujiu's direction. She looked at Jiujiu and the man opposite her who was smiling brightly. Her palms were clenched into fists and her teeth were clenched tightly.
She hated it.
Jiujiu and she had the same parents. She was abandoned when she was young, but Jiujiu grew up doted on by her parents. She even had a body that she was extremely envious of. When she thought of Jiujiu's healthy heart beating in her chest, Mu Linlang wanted to dig out Jiujiu's chest, take out that heart, and replace it with her own body.
Mu Linlang felt that if she replaced Jiujiu's heart with hers, she should become as healthy as Jiujiu.
Mu Linlang yearned for Jiujiu's heart too much, so she looked straight at Jiujiu like a knife, which also attracted Mu Rong's attention.
Mu Rong turned her head slightly and saw Mu Linlang staring at Jiujiu with a longing expression. She frowned slightly and suddenly smiled.
Mu Rong turned to look at Jiujiu. Seeing that Jiujiu was also looking at Mu Linlang, the corners of her mouth curled up. She looked at Jiujiu and asked, "Do you see that woman?"
Jiujiu nodded. "She looks like me."
Mu Linlang looked like an adult version of Jiujiu, while Jiujiu looked like a child version of Jiujiu. The difference was that Jiujiu was healthy, while Mu Linlang was weak all year round because of heart disease. Her face was always covered with an unhealthy green color.
Jiujiu was like a small sun, radiating vitality in all directions. On the other hand, Mu Linlang was like a dying orchid with yellow leaves.
After hearing Jiujiu's answer, Mu Rong picked up her champagne glass and swirled it. She took a sip and raised her eyebrows. "Do you know who she is?"
"I don't know. Who is she?" Jiujiu pretended to look at Mu Rong with a curious expression.
Jiujiu looked very similar to Mu Linlang, but Mu Rong felt that Jiujiu was obedient and cute no matter how he looked at her. Even the way she frowned was extremely cute. On the contrary, regardless of whether Mu Linlang was gloomy or smiling, she was an eyesore in Mu Rong's eyes.
Mu Rong did not like Mu Linlang, so her words were naturally very harsh. "She used to be the eldest daughter of the Mu family, but now she's a drowning dog."
Mu Yuan's name was removed from the Mu family by him. Mu Linlang, a sickly person who was picked up by Mu Yuan, was nothing but a drowning dog.
The word 'drowning dog' was indeed a little too harsh, but Jiujiu felt that it was particularly vivid and her heart was blooming with joy.
