“Fine.” Mu Xichen said calmly. “I understand.”
There was a look of surprise in Wu Meiya’s eyes. Mu Che was also delighted and asked, “So when will you move in?”
“It’s not like I know you people very well.” Mu Xichen looked at them and said, “I’m not moving in.”
Mu Che’s initial look of joy vanished at once.
His pale face slowly reddened. He looked at Mu Xichen for a long time before saying, “You still hate me…”
“Since you know it, stop humiliating yourself.” Mu Xichen left him no room for negotiation, his attitude was icy at best. “Since you’re not dead, then have a good life. When you’re dead, I’ll send my condolences.”
Mu Che’s eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was loud, making him look like a fish out of water. His nostrils flared twice. Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he fell backward.
Wu Meiya’s expression changed drastically as she shouted, “Hubby!”
Butler Mu Yun’s expression changed as well, as he dashed forward immediately to support the man, shouting, “Sir!”
The servants immediately got busy, and the family doctor who was on standby came forward to the man’s rescue at once.
Fortunately, Mu Che did not really faint.
It wasn’t long before he regained consciousness.
With a pale face, he extended his arms to push them away and said, “I’m fine.”
Wu Meiya seemed to have reached the end of her patience. She stood up and shouted, “Mu Xichen, has your conscience been eaten by a dog! Your father is so ill now, and you say such heartless words. You will definitely suffer retribution!”
Li Beinian also felt that Mu Xichen was being a little harsh, but she couldn’t tolerate Wu Meiya’s aggressive berating.
Stepping up and positioning herself in front of her husband, Li Beinian glared at her and said loudly, “Don’t get it wrong. It was your family who dumped him, thinking of him as nothing but trouble! When he was being bullied by others, did you ever think of this father and son relationship? He had been in the Mo family for so many years and could only celebrate festive holidays with his maternal grandparents. When the three of you were gathered together celebrating, did you ever think of this father and son relationship? For more than twenty years, my husband lived his own life and had no parents! How is it that now someone in your family is dying, he suddenly thinks of this previously non-existent son? Ha, pretending to leave behind some inheritance, just so you instantly have a young and capable son? Isn’t that so ideal!”
Mu Che’s heart sank when he heard these words.
These were all facts.
However, Wu Meiya, who hated Li Beinian to begin with, was not going to allow the girl to talk back like this.
The livid woman said, “Who do you think you are? This is a family matter. It’s not your place to as an outsider to criticize us.”
“Ha.” Li Beinian sneered. “Yes, I’m not in a position to do so. Since we’re outsiders, we really should leave.”
As she spoke, she held Mu Xichen’s hand and started to walk out.
Wu Meiya shouted, “Let go, Xichen is part of our family!”
Mu Xichen, who really didn’t wish to say more, halted when he heard this.
He turned around and looked at Wu Meiya with his deep and dark eyes, making his every word clear as day to the woman. “She’s my wife. Who do you think you are? You think you’re worthy of being my family?”
Wu Meiya was furious. Just as she was about to say something, Mu Xichen and Li Beinian turned around and left.
