Chapter 814: You Won’t Be Able to Safeguard It
Wu Meiya was exasperated and looked at Li Beinian with disgust.
In her eyes, Li Beinian was undoubtedly a scheming b*tch!
First, she managed to wind Mu Donglin around her little finger. Then, she jilted him after hooking up with Mu Xichen.
Now, she had even gotten married to the little b.a.s.t.a.r.d Mu Xichen. Mu Xichen and Mu Donglin’s relations.h.i.+p didn’t used to be as bad as it was now. It was all because of Li Beinian!
She was probably feeling smug about it too!
Li Beinian burst into laughter at Wu Meiya’s words.
She looked at the woman and said, “I respect you as an elder, so you should act like one too. How am I to respect you if you berate me like this?”
Wu Meiya gritted her teeth and sneered. “I know you’re a good talker. Even Donglin and Xichen have been convinced by you. I definitely can’t out-argue you. However, don’t think I don’t know about the wicked things you’ve done behind my back. Now that you know my husband has left Xichen 30% of his a.s.sets, you’re trying to anger him to death so that you can get your hands on it, right?”
“Enough.” Mu Xichen said with an icy expression. “I don’t want anything from the Mu Family.”
“Why do you think your husband fainted?” Li Beinian sneered. “With a 30% inheritance, you want to trick us into helping you to manage your business?”
Wu Meiya’s expression changed upon hearing Li Beinian’s words. She chided them immediately, “What do you mean! You take our money and on top of that you want our family business?”
“Ha!” Li Beinian laughed and said angrily, “This is ridiculous! Hubby, let’s go home.”
“Since we’re all here, let’s make things clear.” Mu Xichen stood firm and did not seem to be affected by Li Beinian at all. He said deliberately, “I am aware of some of the things that happened back then. My grandpa made an agreement with you. Everything in the Mu Family has nothing to do with me. So let’s honor and continue this agreement.”
Wu Meiya found it hard to believe. “You don’t want it?”
Mu Xichen did not answer her and said instead, “Everyone is in a bad mood today. The next time you speak to my wife like this, I think you’re going to find it a challenge to safeguard the Mu Family’s remaining a.s.sets.”
With that, he took Li Beinian’s hand and walked towards the exit.
Wu Meiya was stunned for a moment. After he had taken a few steps, she said sarcastically, “Well then don’t say that you’re not interested in the Mu Family’s a.s.sets. Why a pretender!”
Except, no one paid her any attention.
Li Beinian felt that Wu Meiya’s image had been completely fiipped.
In the past, she had thought that no matter how much Wu Meiya hated someone, she would at least pretend to be gentle and gracious.
Who would have thought that under the pressure of all these benefits, her true colors would show.
It was human nature.
However, Wu Meiya had completely misunderstood the meaning of the man’s words.
What he meant by not being able to safeguard it… was probably true.
Being pregnant, Lin Kerou was not able to sustain a long period of stress.
After standing around for a long time, she excused herself and went to rest.
She had a good reason to do it: for the baby.
Hence, Lin Kerou returned to her room without needing to make a trip to the hospital.
However, as she sat in the room, she couldn’t help but think of Li Beinian’s wedding gift.
Why would someone like Li Beinian give her a wedding gift?
