Chapter 841: Heartbroken
Mu Xichen glanced at his wife and asked, “Why aren’t you talking?”
He spoke quietly into Li Beinian’s ear.
He observed her inquiringly and with obvious jealousy.
Li Beinian was speechless. She elbowed him and then calmly spoke, “Why should I hate you? I simply find you annoying, that’s all.”
Her words were merciless.
Mu Donglin felt those words stab him right in his heart.
He smiled bitterly. “Not even hatred?”
Of course she hated him.
She hated him for ruining her life in her previous life, and for throwing her aside the way he did.
However, in this life, she had learned to be smart and took precautions in advance. He, on the other hand, was now ignoring Lin Kerou, who loved him more than her own life in his previous life, while he continued to pester and harass herself.
What the hell could she say?
This man was really despicable!
Li Beinian’s thoughts returned to her. She looked troubled and said hesitantly, “Actually, it’s just pure annoyance. It’s just like being annoyed with garbage. You can’t hate a pile of rubbish by the roadside.”
Mu Donglin’s expression changed.
Mu Xichen laughed unkindly and said hypocritically, “That’s a little too much.”
Li Beinian threw him a look of disdain.
Mu Xichen continued, “Certain things shouldn’t be said aloud. You’ll only embarrass him if you said it out loud.”
Mu Donglin couldn’t take it anymore. “Mu Xichen!”
“Huh?” Mu Xichen stopped pretending. He hugged his wife and said lazily, “I didn’t expect you to have the hobby of harassing other people’s wives.”
How could Mu Donglin not realize when he heard this!
Mu Xichen must have been privy to the whole conversation!
A sense of anger from being tricked rose within him.
He sneered and chided him. “You’re so smug now, huh? Dad has been bedridden and calling your name in his dreams. I’m only asking you to make a trip home, and you refuse. Don’t forget that he’s your father too.”
“Oh.” Mu Xichen didn’t buy it at all and said coldly, “I understand.”
Mu Donglin took it as a yes and said with contempt, “You’d better do it soon. It’s meaningless to come back after the New Year.”
Sure enough, Mu Xichen couldn’t bear to abandon the Mu Family.
Mu Che was his father no matter what, and adding to that, the man was seriously ill.
Then there was also the Mu Family’s assets.
Mu Che had given Mu Xichen a full 30% share.
This 30% of the assets was enough to give Mu Xichen a comfortable life for a long time.
Who wouldn’t be tempted?
Initially, he had thought that Mu Xichen hated Mu Che, and for that reason he had been refusing to come home for a visit. But now, in the face of these great benefits, he seemed to be caving.
“It’s alright, we don’t plan to go.” Mu Xichen drew Li Beinian into his embrace and started to act even more brazenly. Then he said to the man on the other end of the line, “It’s late now, scram.”
As he spoke, he lifted his wife’s shirt and lowered his head to savor her.
Mu Donglin only had time to hear a woman’s delicate squeal before the call was hung up.
Mu Donglin paused for a moment. Then, his hand that was holding the phone turned pale.
How dare Mu Xichen tease him?!
Wu Meiya came downstairs and saw that Mu Donglin did not look too good. She asked, “How is it?”
Mu Donglin’s face was as black as ink. He slammed the phone on the table and turned to leave without a word.
