Chapter 846: Something Happened in the Mu Family (2)
Li Beinian’s voice wasn’t loud, but Mu Xichen and Mu Yun, who were leading the way, could hear her clearly.
Mu Yun turned to give Li Beinian a strange look.
Before Li Beinian could figure out what it meant, Mu Yun turned around and said, “We’re here.”
This time, it wasn’t Mu Che’s study they were entering, but his bedroom.
At this point, the room was filled with the faint smell of medicine.
Although the windows on all sides had been opened for ventilation, the smell lingered.
It was as if it had taken root here.
Mu Che’s room was also the Mu Family’s largest master bedroom.
Just this master bedroom alone was comparable to the size of the living room plus a guest room in their Qing Shui Fu home.
It was Li Beinian’s first time in this room. She had never seen it in either of her lifetimes. She was slightly taken aback, but what was even more shocking was the old man lying on the bed.
In just over a month, Mu Che had gone from a high-spirited and tubby middle-aged CEO to almost nothing more than a bag of bones.
His skin was abnormally pale and there was no color on his face. His originally red lips were now only a faint pink.
However, while most cancer patients would be bald, this was not the case for Mu Che.
Apart from Mu Che, there was also Wu Meiya and an old servant in the room.
Li Beinian’s pupils constricted and she couldn’t help feeling shocked.
At the same time, she felt a little relieved.
Although Mu Xichen’s relationship with Mu Che was strained, they were still father and son.
Mu Che was so seriously ill that if they didn’t visit, even if these people were to say nothing, the person involved wouldn’t have felt nothing.
Fortunately, she had persuaded Mu Xichen to make the trip. Mu Che’s condition didn’t look too optimistic.
Unlike Li Beinian, Mu Xichen did not react much.
Only, Li Beinian felt his hand move slightly. Immediately, she subtly curled her fingers and held his hand silently.
Mu Yun walked up. Obviously used to seeing Mu Che in this condition. He said, “Sir, Second Young Master and Second Young Madam are back.”
Second Young Madam.
Li Beinian’s heart skipped a beat.
Even though Mu Xichen did not have a good relationship with the Mu family and she had never officially met her parents and elders in the Mu Family, Mu Yun nevertheless recognized her status as one of them.
In her previous life, even though she had married Mu Donglin and met all the relatives and elders of the Mu Family, they had disregarded her.
Initially, he would address her as Eldest Young Madam expressionlessly, but later on… he simply addressed her as “Miss Li”.
Li Beinian sighed in her heart and her expression became even stranger.
Except that no one noticed the change in her expression, as everyone’s attention was on Mu Che.
Wu Meiya sat on the edge of the bed. The once exquisite and beautiful wife looked much more haggard now.
She turned to look at Mu Xichen and smiled. “You’re back. Your father has been waiting for you.”
Mu Che appeared dry and thin. He needed someone to help him out of bed.
At this point, Wu Meiya helped him up. He opened his eyes – they seemed cloudy and tired, and he looked as though he had aged 20 years.
When he saw Mu Xichen, Mu Che suddenly squeezed his eyes shut and cried. He said, “Xichen, Dad has let you down.”
