Li Beinian’s heart skipped a beat when she saw this.
Mu Donglin immediately withdrew his hand and covered his right hand with his other hand.
However, it was obvious that Li Beinian wasn’t the only one who noticed this. One of the CEOs said, “Eldest Young Master Mu, your hand…”
At this remark, everyone turned to look at Mu Donglin.
Blood was oozing out between Mu Donglin’s fingers by now, and dripping onto the floor.
The fresh scarlet was a stark contrast against the luxurious golden carpet, it was a shocking sight.
Mu Xichen observed this with a darkening expression.
Very quickly, he shifted his gaze to Mu Donglin’s face with a smirk.
Mu Donglin’s expression was cold and indifferent.
Noticing that everyone around was giving him all sorts of strange looks now, he lowered his gaze and said, “The quality of the glass is hopeless.” Then, he looked up. “You guys continue chatting, I’ll get myself sorted.”
Following this, he turned around and left.
The CEOs looked at each other and exchanged meaningful glances.
From the time Mu Xichen and Li Beinian arrived till the moment he walked off, Mu Donglin had only spoken once.
Subsequently, he had his thunder completely stolen.
It was as though… Mu Xichen was the star of the evening.
Everyone noticed this and became conscious of their own inappropriate actions.
However, at the same time, they couldn’t help wondering what the reason for Mu Donglin’s sudden departure might be.
How could a wine glass break just like that?
And in addition his hand was covered in blood!
How much force did it take!
At this thought, they inevitably cast curious looks at Li Beinian.
Ignoring them, Li Beinian turned her attention to Mu Xichen and said, “I’m thirsty. Hubby, would you like a drink?”
“Let’s have some tea.” Mu Xichen threw her a sidelong glance and reached out to put an arm around her. “Let’s go to Dad’s study. He’s waiting for us.”
“Oh.” Li Beinian nodded and smiled. “Might as well. I’ve not seen your father since we got married. I guess if he hadn’t called so many times and tried so hard, you wouldn’t have wanted to see him.”
Mu Xichen did not answer, but strutted off with his arm around her shoulder.
Those who overheard Li Beinian’s remark started to ponder.
It seemed that Mu Xichen and Mu Che didn’t have a good relationship.
However, he was Mu Che’s son after all. Mu Che must care alot for Mu Xichen. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called him repeatedly to ask to see him.
However Mu Xichen didn’t seem to buy it…
Although the Mu Family had a strong foundation, Mu Che was getting old.
And even though Mu Donglin was also powerful, based on the current situation, it was obvious that Mu Xichen had more potential.
It seemed the time had come for a decision.
Mu Che had indeed called Mu Xichen many times, but Mu Xichen wasn’t the only person he had called.
Li Beinian had also received a few calls from Mu Che. Initially, she was polite, but after learning that Mu Che and Wu Meiya had wanted her to take Mu Xichen back to the Mu Family Mansion, she stopped answering their calls.
This time round, Mu Xichen was initially reluctant too. It was only after Li Beinian mediated that he had agreed to come to the wedding and at the same time, meet with Mu Che.
