Noticing this, Mu Donglin continued, “You claim that you can protect her, but does she know what you’ve been doing?”
Mu Donglin spoke deliberately and meaningfully.
It was as though he was waiting for Mu Xichen to refute him.
It had to be said, Li Beinian’s curiosity had been stirred yet again, and it was getting the better of her.
Only, she was adamant not to cave.
If she were to let her curiosity show, she would have fallen into Mu Donglin’s trap.
No matter what the truth was, Mu Donglin had only one motive for saying it—to sow discord!
Although she was as curious as a cat, Li Beinian did not show it on her face. She said, “Of course my husband can protect me. Young Master Mu, that’s something you don’t have to worry about. On the other hand, I just saw Lin Kerou behind me. She’s heavily pregnant. It’s not easy to conceive twins. You should be more concerned about your newlywed wife.”
As she spoke, Li Beinian reached out and pried Mu Donglin’s hand away. “You’d better get out of the way. We have bad tempers. If either my husband or I decide to beat you up, no one can stop us.”
Mu Donglin laughed when he heard this. “Nian Nian, you’re adorable as ever.”
Li Beinian shuddered.
Did he not understand human language?
She was obviously threatening him.
Adorable?
Adorable my ass!
Li Beinian felt most uncomfortable and pulled Mu Xichen away.
Right up to this point, Mu Xichen had not said a word.
Suddenly, urgent footsteps could be heard coming from behind. Immediately, a servant girl shouted, “Eldest Young Master, Sir has gone into shock from being so angry at Second Young Master. Madam wants you to go in immediately. The doctor said…” Her voice was choked with tears as she continued, “… Sir may not make it through. ”
Those words made everyone’s heart sink.
Mu Donglin’s expression finally changed. He turned to grab Mu Xichen’s shirt and said, “You can’t leave. Dad’s situation isn’t clear yet. If something bad really were to happen, you won’t be able to escape responsibility!”
She had to give it to Mu Donglin. Li Beinian said in disbelief, “The first thing you do when you hear that your father has gone in shock is not to go run in to check on him, but to hold someone else responsible. What a filial son you are!”
However, on second thoughts, it was a given.
Mu Donglin was such a person.
Mu Donglin was about to say something when he heard a commotion behind him.
The servants were running around, and the doctors and nurses who had been specially hired into the household were busy talking.
Wu Meiya ran out crying. Although she was wearing expensive and exquisite clothes, the deportment of a wealthy wife completely vanished when she ran.
She cried loudly, and when she saw Mu Xichen, she pounced on him like a mad woman, shouting, “Mu Xichen, you killed my husband. I want you to pay with your life! You little bastard!”
Wu Meiya was in such a frenzy that Li Beinian was a little stunned.
Instinctively, the girl wanted to stop Wu Meiya.
However, Mu Xichen held her firmly in his arm.
Wu Meiya pounced on Mu Xichen and started punching and kicking him.
Caught off guard, the man was hit twice. The sound of her fists pounding him was particularly terrifying.
After the shock she felt, Li Beinian’s anger surged. She struggled out of Mu Xichen’s arms and pushed the woman away forcefully. She shouted, “Are you freaking done!”
Wu Meiya was taken by surprise and retreated. Lin Kerou, who had been observing this for some time from a hidden spot, exclaimed, “Mom!”
The heavily pregnant figure bent over to steady Wu Meiya.
