Responsibilities?
Li Beinian pricked up her ears and waited for him to continue.
A playful expression appeared on Mu Chen’s face. He held the piece of legal paper in his hand and looked at Mu Che with a smirk.
Li Beinian understood Mu Xichen very well and sighed inwardly.
Mu Che was being too anxious.
The fact that Mu Xichen had no intention of claiming his inheritance aside, even if he were to accept it, he wouldn’t have to shoulder any responsibilities.
Mu Che had allocated 30% of his assets to Mu Xichen, and 70% to Mu Donglin.
Mu Donglin had the upper hand, so why should Mu Xichen need to shoulder any responsibilities?
Initially, she had felt sorry for Mu Che and was ready to persuade Mu Xichen to try to get along with the man in his remaining days.
Unexpectedly, in a few short minutes, Mu Che had exposed himself.
Inheritance? Fatherly love? The only obvious thing was that he saw how well Mu Xichen was doing, and wanted him to pave the way for Mu Donglin!
Mu Che didn’t seem to realize that his move was flawed and continued, “The Mu Family has built a strong foundation over the years. If you can operate it well, you will definitely be able to bring the Mu Corporation to greater heights. Xichen…”
Mu Xichen tore the will into half and slammed it on the table.
Mu Che was shocked by his behavior. He widened his eyes in disbelief and shouted angrily, “What are you doing!”
Mu Xichen stood up. Li Beinian immediately placed her cup on the table and stood up as well.
“Have you forgotten?” Mu Xichen cast his gaze down at Mu Che coldly. “You and my grandfather made a pact a long time ago.”
Mu Che was stunned and his face turned a deep red.
Mu Xichen continued, “More than 20 years ago, you severed ties with me in front of your current wife, the entire Mo family, and the Mu family. You said I was a child of the Mo family, and you would never give me a single cent of the Mu Family’s money.”
Mu Che turned pale.
Yes, he had said those words.
However, that was more than 20 years ago!
Mu Xichen was 26 years old now, how could they take something that happened so long ago, so seriously!
Before Mu Che could speak again, Mu Xichen reminded him, “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten all these things?”
“But in the end, you still came back, didn’t you!” Mu Che was on the verge of going crazy. He roared with bloodshot eyes, “If it weren’t for me, you would have died when you were seven! Do you think you could have lived till now!”
Mu Xichen was struck by a strange illness when he was seven.
He had a high fever from an unknown cause.
The Mo family had spent a great deal of effort and money to get him treated.
Later on, he was sent to the hospital, where the doctors managed it as if it were a flu.
After the symptoms were manifested, they realized that they had misdiagnosed him.
The Mo family failed to get him treated.
Mu Che took the opportunity to tell them that he was able to hire the best doctor and get the boy to the best hospital available.
The condition was that his son had to revert to his surname.
Hence, after Mu Xichen became Mo Xichen, he went back to being Mu Xichen.
“You’re right.” Mu Xichen smiled faintly. “Thank you so much for saving me back then, Mr. Mu.”
