83 Apologizing In The Morning
In his memory, Mu Ci had never stood up, so he had no sense of his height. He had always looked down at his brother in the wheelchair.
He didn’t expect Mu Ci to be a few centimeters taller than him. Even with a crutch, Mu Ci was still so dazzling that he felt inferior for a moment.
Mu Ci looked at Mu En with a complicated gaze, then at Duan Si, who was so shocked that she lost control of her expression.
“Morning, Mom.” There was no emotion in Mu Ci’s voice. It was as calm as air.
Duan Si cried out, “Your leg… Why are you standing up?”
Mu Ci looked down at his legs and said calmly, “Yes, I was so excited last night that I could actually stand up.”
“In a moment of excitement? Why are you so agitated? What’s going on? By the way, why did you hit your brother?” Duan Si suddenly thought of her youngest son.
She reached out to pull Mu En. “Child, what’s wrong with you? Why are you kneeling here? What did you do? You have to kneel after being beaten? Stand up!”
However, Mu En pushed her hand away. “Mom! Don’t worry about it! I did something wrong. I’m here to ask Brother and Sister-in-law to forgive me. If they don’t forgive me, I won’t get up!”
As he spoke, his voice choked.
“Forgive what? What have you done? What’s there to forgive when you’re biological brothers? He’s your older brother. It’s only right for him to give in to you! Even if you’ve done something wrong, he has to forgive you!” Duan Si hated seeing her son so aggrieved. It was as if he was cutting out her heart.
She couldn’t pull Mu En up, so she turned around and glared at Mu Ci. “How can you be so heartless? He’s your younger brother! You hit him for no reason and even chased him out. You let him catch a cold in the rain. Is your heart made of stone? You’re so ruthless! Do you hate him that much? If you want to hate him, you should hate me! He’s innocent! Come at me!”
Duan Si began to shout at the top of her lungs again. She had said these words countless times without thinking.
This was the most effective way to subdue Mu Ci. It had worked every time for so many years.
Mu Ci was already numb to this.
His gaze landed on Mu En. Coincidentally, Mu En also stole a glance at him. When he met his gaze, he immediately put his palms together. “Brother, Brother, I was wrong. I was wrong. I drank too much last night. I was delirious—”
“Since you’re delirious, you can’t remember anything. Why do you have to say it?” Mu Ci interrupted him calmly.
Mu En was stunned.
Mu Ci looked down at him. “I was so angry last night that I actually stood up and could walk a few steps. I don’t know if I should blame you or thank you!”
Mu En could only look at Mu Ci pitifully, unable to react.
Duan Si was at a loss. “What do you mean? Your leg was cured by Mu En? Is it because you’re angry with Mu En?”
Neither brother looked at her.
However, Duan Si relaxed. “Aiyo, I knew it. You’re biological brothers. What’s there to worry about? Aiya, get up quickly! Get up quickly! Go beg Grandpa to plead for mercy for you!”
Mu Chen had already heard what had happened from Old Jiang. His expression changed. “What did you say?”
Old Jiang lowered his head silently and avoided Mu Chen’s gaze.
Mu Chen turned around and walked up to Mu En angrily. He raised his hand and was about to hit him. Under Mu Ci’s signal, Liu Ming hurriedly held Mu Chen’s hand. “Old Master, don’t be angry and hurt your health.”
“Grandpa, Grandpa, I was wrong. I was wrong. I drank too much yesterday. I really don’t know what I did or said. I-I felt like I was in a dream. Grandpa, I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again.” Mu En knelt down and hugged Mu Chen’s leg, crying sincerely.
“You, you—” Mu Chen was heartbroken and angry.
“How can you face your big brother? Huh? He’s your big brother!” Mu Chen pushed Mu En forcefully.
Duan Si did not understand what had happened, but she guessed that her youngest son had something on her eldest son. She did not care what her eldest son thought, but the Old Master could not be dissatisfied with Mu En.
Hence, she went along with it. “Dad, why don’t you slap him twice to vent your anger? He really knows his mistake. He had a high fever all night and got up early to admit his mistake. Don’t hold it against him and let him off.”
Mu Chen said angrily, “That depends on whether his brother forgives him or not! Mu Ci is always thinking for him. What is he doing? Huh? Brothers are respectful. Your brother did it. What did you do?”
