Chapter 125 - 125 He Stood Up

125 He Stood Up

Bei Shuo nodded. “Yes, Sister Song Nan is right. I’ll remember that.”

Song Nan choked. She had thought that Bei Shuo would refute her. Only when she did would Duan Si have an excuse to continue educating her.

Unexpectedly, when she nodded obediently, it was as if she had punched cotton and almost hurt her waist.

She forced a smile and said softly, “Auntie, look at how obedient Bei Shuo is. You don’t have to worry about her embarrassing the Mu Family. She definitely won’t do anything to the Shen Family!”

Duan Si frowned and said sternly, “Bei Shuo! Let me tell you, since you’ve already married into the Mu Family, you’re now a member of the Mu Family. In the future, if you go to the Shen Family or if someone from the Shen Family asks you to go, you must inform me and I’ll accompany you! Do you understand?”

Bei Shuo looked at Duan Si in shock. “Why?”

“Why? Because I’m your mother-in-law! I’m worried that you’ll embarrass our Mu Family outside!” Duan Si’s gaze was a little fierce.

Bei Shuo picked up an orange and tossed it in her hand. She said nonchalantly, “Sure!”

Since she had agreed so easily, Duan Si had nothing else to say.

Was Bei Shuo smart or stupid?

Bei Shuo’s orange was suddenly intercepted.

Bei Shuo turned around and exclaimed happily, “Brother!”

Mu Ci peeled the orange and put a piece into her mouth. After watching her eat it, he slowly said to Duan Si, “Mom is afraid that the Shen Family will treat Bei Shuo too well and suppress my sister-in-law in the future, right?”

Song Nan gently tugged at the corner of Duan Si’s shirt, so Duan Si did not act rashly.

Mu Ci saw what they were doing. He placed the peeled orange in the orange skin and handed it to Bei Shuo. Without looking at Duan Si, he said calmly, “I’ve spoken to Grandpa. I’m withdrawing from all the Mu Family’s businesses.”

“Really?” Duan Si was pleasantly surprised.

Mu Ci lowered his eyes slightly. When he looked up again, his eyes were clear.

“Yes, Grandpa has already promised me.” Mu Ci’s voice was very calm.

“Then, your grandfather… then Mu En…” Duan Si was a little incoherent.

Mu Ci didn’t answer her. “The Shen Family likes Bei Shuo, but that’s between her and the Shen Family. It has nothing to do with the Mu Family. In the future, if you have a daughter-in-law you like, you can train her carefully. Bei Shuo isn’t suitable to be by your side.”

Duan Si felt a little embarrassed. “Are you afraid that I’ll bully her?”

Mu Ci looked at her and nodded lightly. “Yes! What Mom is most worried about won’t happen anymore. There’s no need to make things difficult for Bei Shuo anymore. She and I have our own lives to lead.”

“You—” Duan Si was so angry that she couldn’t speak.

Song Nan tried to calm her down. “Auntie, don’t be angry. Mu Ci doesn’t mean anything by it. He’s just worried that you might have a conflict with Bei Shuo.”

Duan Si sneered. “He’s just protecting that… girl.”

In the end, she removed the word “wild” out of consideration for the Shen Family.

Mu Ci exhaled softly. “Yes, she’s my wife. Of course I have to protect her.”

Duan Si looked at Mu Ci and suddenly felt sad. “Why is my life so bitter? You’re my biological son, yet you treat your Mom like this! Tell me, what have I done to you? Do you hate me so much? Why are you so guarded against me?”

“You only have yourself in your heart. When have you ever respected me or doted on your brother? I finally understand. You and your father are birds of a feather! You forget everything when you see a woman! What can I count on you for? Why is my life so bitter?”

Duan Si muttered as she cried. After saying this for so many years, she was familiar with it and could recite it fluently.

Mu Ci placed his hands on the wheelchair and stood up. He pulled Bei Shuo’s hand and walked upstairs without saying a word.

Behind him, Duan Si’s cries stopped abruptly.

Duan Si and Song Nan watched in shock as the two of them left hand in hand.

Although Mu Ci’s footsteps were slow, they were steady. Step by step, he walked with strength and determination.

No matter how one looked at it, one couldn’t tell that he’s been in a wheelchair for a long time.

When the elevator went upstairs, Duan Si and Song Nan’s eyes were blocked by the elevator door.

“He can actually walk?” Duan Si muttered.

Shocked, Song Nan could not help but feel mixed emotions.

What had she missed?

Mu Ci should have been easy for her! But now, he could stand up and even walk. He was beyond her reach!

Why? How could she swallow this anger?
