Pete glanced at Mu Beiting, then at the mountain of docunts, and quickly said, "Mr. Yan, it’s only five o’clock, it’s still early, I still have so things to finish!"
"Your boss has already spoken, what are you worried about! He can handle it himself! If not, deal with it tomorrow, a day later won’t kill anyone!" Saying this, he forcibly pulled him out of Mu Beiting’s office, ignoring Pete’s reluctance.
Mu Beiting kept his head buried in the paperwork until half an hour later, when he finally stood up, grabbed the suit jacket from the hanger, and left the company with his briefcase.
After leaving the company, Mu Beiting drove straight back to the villa.
Ye Anxin, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the butler say that Mu Beiting was back, and hurried out to greet him, "Uncle, you’re back?"
This was the first ti Ye Anxin appeared in front of Mu Beiting wearing an apron!
The warm sunlight shone on her, as if coating her in a layer of golden halo, making her look so youthful, lively, warm, and charming.
Looking at her, Mu Beiting was montarily lost in thought.
Ye Anxin didn’t notice Mu Beiting’s abnormality, reached out to take the briefcase from his hand, and said with a smile, "Uncle, hold on a little, the food isn’t ready yet! You can read the newspaper or watch TV first!"
Regaining his composure, Mu Beiting nodded and was about to head inside when he inadvertently caught sight of the bruise on Ye Anxin’s wrist from the corner of his eye. His eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he grabbed her wrist, "What happened here?"
Ye Anxin followed his gaze and only then noticed the distinct five-fingered bruise on her wrist.
In the hallway earlier today, Mu Rufeng had grabbed too hard, which left the mark! She had been too busy buying groceries and cooking to realize there was a clear handprint on her wrist. It was unmistakably human-made.
"This? This...?" Ye Anxin lowered her head, her eyes flustered and evasive, racking her brains for an excuse.
Mu Beiting’s eyes grew colder, and he asked sternly, "Tell , who did this?"
"It was... it was Mu Rufeng...!" Ye Anxin thought for a long ti and finally decided to tell the truth.
Mu Beiting was very resourceful; he could easily send soone to investigate at the school and find out everything clearly. If he found out she was deceiving him, he would definitely be angry again! He might even misunderstand her as protecting Mu Rufeng.
After much consideration, she decided to confess truthfully.
"Him?" Mu Beiting’s eyes narrowed, and a layer of coldness appeared at the bottom of his eyes.
"Today, on the way back to the teacher from lunch with Yueyue outside, he appeared suddenly...!" Ye Anxin lowered her head and recounted the whole story.
The more he heard, the darker Mu Beiting’s face beca! She could even feel the intense murderous intent emanating from him.
"He wants to die!" After hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Mu Beiting rarely showed emotions other than coldness.
Ye Anxin hurriedly reversed and grasped his big hand, anxiously saying, "Don’t... Xie Yunlu is lying in the hospital now, and we don’t know if the child in her belly can be saved, he’s already been punished! Just let it go... and he didn’t succeed, did he?"
Mu Beiting stared into Ye Anxin’s little face with deep eyes, coldly said, "You’re defending him?"
Ye Anxin quickly explained, "No! I’m not defending him, I just think he has already received his retribution!"
Looking at her, Mu Beiting suddenly said, "You feel sorry for him?"
Ye Anxin suddenly felt a massive headache, she could guarantee, if she said one more word for Mu Rufeng, she couldn’t imagine how the man in front of her would misinterpret it!
Ye Anxin sighed in her heart and said with helplessness, "Uncle, I’m concerned about you! You are uncle and nephew, I don’t want you to have conflicts because of ! After all, you’re family!"
Without thinking, Mu Beiting directly said, "We were never family!"
