Chapter 140: Was It a Fun Night With Your New Boyfriend?
Mother Shi replied weakly, “Am I wrong? Look at him. There are so many wonderful women on earth, but he just had to choose the one from Mu family instead.”
Shi Beiyu furrowed his brows and replied in a crystal clear voice, “What happened that year had nothing to do with her. She’s innocent.”
“So what?!” Mother Shi glared.
“Even though it had nothing to do with her, it still doesn’t change the fact that she’s that woman’s sister! And… she was there too!”
Shi Beiyu looked at Mother Shi confusedly. “This happened 12 years ago. What can arguing over it do? Do you plan to live the rest of your life in hatred?”
“You…” Mother Shi’s finger trembled in anger.
If she had not taken her pills earlier on, her asthma would most probably trigger again.
The crease on Shi Beiyu’s forehead deepened as he stood up from the sofa. “Have a good rest. I need to attend to some affairs in the company, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Upon saying so, he strode towards the door.
Mother Shi stomped her feet in anger. “You! Get back here! You better break up and cut all ties with her!”
However, Shi Beiyu pretended not to hear anything as he walked out of the building without looking back. Eventually, he vanished from their sights.
Mother’s Shi’s eyes turned bloodshot.
Why?
What sin did she commit?
Why must her only son end up in the hands of that woman’s sister?
Old Master furrowed his brows as he let out a long sigh. “Ah Yu has been stubborn since he was a boy. He’ll never listen to what we say.”
Mother Shi retorted, “Then what should we do? Do we really have no choice but to see him twirling in that vixen’s fingers? Over my dead body!”
Old Master Shi grunt coldly. “I’ll never agree to it either, but we must come out with a plan about this matter. We can’t rush into it.”
Shi Beiyu was, after all, the only heir to his bloodline. How could he allow him to marry a woman from the Mu family?
…
Mu Siyin got to the company in a daze. She could not help but think about everything that went down the night before, including Shi Beiyu’s story about the accident and her dream.
The more she thought about it, the more she realized that something was off. If she had crossed paths with him 12 years ago, why did the Mu family act like they did not know him?
She backtracked the sequence of events. If Shi Beiyu’s father had drunkenly crashed into her sister’s car, the Mu family would definitely hold it over the Shi family’s throats. They would definitely use this opportunity to extort as many benefits as they could.
However, why did the Mu family not mention this before?
The Lu family did not seem to know about this as well.
What on earth was going on?
The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt. If she did not get to the bottom of this mystery, she would probably never rest easy.
She decided to probe information from her stepfather or Old Witch Mu whenever she had the chance to.
“All you know how to do at work is to daydream. Sheesh. It looks like I expected too much from you.”
Director w.a.n.g’s sarcastic voice suddenly rose from her side.
Mu Siyin jerked back to attention as she hurriedly sat up in her chair. She looked at Director w.a.n.g and forced out a smile. “I’m sorry, Director w.a.n.g. I didn’t have enough sleep last night.”
Director w.a.n.g, who was wearing a revealing outfit, raised an eyebrow when she heard this. She walked closer towards Mu Siyin and said, “Oh? Was it a fun night with your new boyfriend?”
Mu Siyin stared at Director w.a.n.g in surprise. She had never thought the latter would say something like this.
Seeing Mu Siyin’s expression, Director w.a.n.g lowered her voice and mocked, “Your performance at work is not satisfying, but you’re quite impressive at fishing men. It looks like this one is much better than the one from the Gu family.”
