Just then, Pete walked in from outside, reporting to Mu Beiting about the situation outside, "President, Su Quan and Mo Qiaoyan have already been chased away! The Su Group will completely disappear from Jin City by the ti the sun sets tomorrow at the latest!"
Mu Beiting frowned deeply, clearly not satisfied with this result.
Seeing Mu Beiting’s displeasure, Pete hurriedly explained, "The Su Group has been in Jin City for decades, with deep roots. To completely uproot it will take so ti! This is already the fastest we can do!"
Mu Beiting’s eyes darkened even more, his thin lips tightly pressed into a line.
Watching him, Pete shivered inexplicably and quickly lowered his head to change the subject, "President, I’ll go get the lady’s luggage!"
"Okay!" Mu Beiting nodded, and only then did Pete breathe a sigh of relief and turn to leave the villa.
After Pete left, the butler, who had finished dealing with matters outside, returned to the villa!
The butler stood respectfully in front of Mu Beiting, full of remorse, saying, "Sir, it was my oversight. I promise it won’t happen again!"
Mu Beiting said rcilessly, "If it happens again, pack your bags and get out!"
"Yes!" The butler was already accustod to Mu Beiting’s coldness and, after nodding, stood aside without saying a word.
At this mont, a servant brought out the boiled eggs, neatly arranged on a plate.
Mu Beiting personally peeled the eggs and used them to reduce the swelling and bruises on Ye Anxin’s red and swollen face.
Ye Anxin watched his skilled movents and blinked, smiling as she asked, "Uncle, your movents are so skilled! I always thought you were a young master who never lifted a finger!"
As soon as Ye Anxin finished speaking, she imdiately felt the air around drop by several degrees.
"What’s wrong? Did I say sothing wrong?" Ye Anxin raised her eyes to look at Mu Beiting. She knew he was angry again! However, she didn’t know why he was angry.
Mu Beiting gave her a cold glance, threw the egg into her hand, stood up, and went upstairs.
"Hey, Uncle, Uncle...!" Ye Anxin called out several tis in a row, but Mu Beiting didn’t respond at all and disappeared at the corner on the second floor.
Holding the warm egg in her hand, Ye Anxin thought carefully but couldn’t figure out what she had said wrong earlier. She had to turn to the butler for help, "Butler, what’s wrong with Uncle? Did I say sothing wrong just now?"
"Sir was only brought back to the Mu Family by the old master when he was ten!" Although the butler generally disliked being nosy, he had a good impression of this lady! He felt that this lady had no airs, was very approachable, and, most importantly, he always felt that this lady was different in the Sir’s heart than other won!
Therefore, when Ye Anxin asked him, he was happy to remind the lady! Having served the Sir for almost ten years, he also hoped the Sir could find a good woman and live a happy life like normal people.
"Ah...!" With the butler’s reminder, Ye Anxin finally realized that she had unintentionally touched on one of Mu Beiting’s old wounds.
Mu Beiting was not the pampered young master who never lifted a finger! He wasn’t even born to his father’s legitimate wife; he was the son of another woman, with a mysterious background, and no one knew what kind of life he had lived in the past!
Looking at his skilled way of peeling eggs just now, it’s obvious that his past life couldn’t have been easy!
So—
Thinking of what she had just said, Ye Anxin regretted it so much that she could have kicked herself!
She threw the egg on the plate on the coffee table in front of her and went upstairs imdiately.
After going upstairs, she first checked the room, but no one was there! Then she went directly to the study next door!
