Chapter 52: I Don’t Accept That Apology
However, Mu Donglin would never be this lecherous!
Li Beinian stared at him solemnly while standing still in the s.p.a.cious corridor.
She walked towards him and said, “I’ve already apologised to you the other day, Leader Mu.”
“I don’t accept that apology.”
Li Beinian laughed mirthlessly. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the sound of rhythmic footsteps coming from outside.
Knock-knock
Someone began knocking on the door.
The three of them turned to look at the same time.
An elderly man entered gracefully, keeping his back taut and straight.
Butler Mu Yun’s eyes turned gloomy when he saw Li Beinian and his intentions were unknown.
He quickly looked away and said calmly, “You’re here too, Miss Li.”
Li Beinian chuckled wryly and remained silent.
“Second Young Master, Sir would like you to go to his study.”
Li Beinian took the chance to scurry towards the corridor, after which she was met with two icy cold gazes.
Greatly startled, Li Beinian s.h.i.+vered and scrambled away.
Mu Xichen stared at the view of her back and expressed a.s.sent.
Butler Mu Yun had obviously sensed what was amiss. After all, he was a sly old fox who was extremely sensitive to strange matters even though he managed to pretend like he did not see anything.
He nodded politely and turned around to leave.
In her previous lifetime, Mu Xichen was not on good terms with the Mu Family and hence, he bought a house of his own and moved out. Ever since then, he rarely returned to the Family mansion.
The Mu Family Mansion was way too huge and Li Beinian was bad at directions too.
Although it was not her first time there, she could not differentiate between the different rooms and sections.
She finally found Li Haoran and the rest after asking for directions from the servants.
Li Haoran was in the midst of speaking to Mu Donglin and his Mother who appeared lofty and refined.
However, she had a disgraceful past that she was ashamed of.
Mu Che married Wu Meiya when he was 20 years old, and built his career from scratch together with her.
When he was in his thirties, he discovered that his wife could not conceive.
Hence, he divorced her.
He was then introduced to a gorgeous and pretty young girl, who was Mu Xichen’s mother.
Mu Che was very good looking and he was mature and das.h.i.+ng when he was in his thirties. He was extremely outstanding as well.
Mo Qingshen was greatly attracted to him and soon got pregnant with his child, after which they got married because of the child.
Mu Che only discovered that she had a powerful family background after finding out that she was pregnant.
It turned out, she was from the prestigious and renowned Mo Family!
She came from a powerful military family!
The Mo Family hit the roof after finding out about the matter and did a background check on Mu Che, only to find out that he had just become a divorcee. The discovery made them angrier.
Mo Qingshen was finally allowed to marry Mu Che after she pleaded with her father miserably.
However, Mu Che’s former spouse, Wu Meiya showed up on the day of their wedding.
It turned out Wu Meiya was already pregnant when they got divorced and did not discover that she was pregnant because she was thin, pet.i.te and healthy.
Mu Che was given a tight slap by Old Mr. Mo when Wu Meiya visited them while she was six months pregnant.
Feeling extremely embarra.s.sed, Old Mr. Mo forced them to break up. However, Mo Qingshen loved Mu Che too much and refused to heed her family’s advice.
Unable to tolerate it, the Mo Family kicked the smitten and obsessed Mo Qingshen out of the family thus giving her a huge blow.
After marrying Mu Che, she was extremely depressed and gave birth to her child prematurely when she was eight months along. She had also damaged her health during labor.
The Mo Family brought the baby away while Mu Che remarried Wu Meiya.
Of course, those were just rumors.
However, one thing was certain and that was Mu Xichen being on bad terms with everyone in the Mu Family.
Upon sight of Li Beinian, a graceful smile graced Wu Meiya’s round face and she said, “Ah, it’s only been a few days since we met and you’ve grown prettier. Come here, quick.”
