Chapter 1492 Of Course I Hate You! 4
Mu Yuchen took a glimpse at Qi Feng, and he withdrew his eyes the next moment. He then took two steps forward and stopped next to Mu Zirui.
“Daddy…” Mu Zirui looked up from Xi Xiaye’s embrace and glanced at Mu Yuchen.
Mu Yuchen lowered his gaze and looked at Mu Zirui’s arm. The doctor had already laid the sutures and had started the bandaging. With a frown, Mu Yuchen raised his arm to knock Mu Zirui’s head gently and said in his deep voice, “Son, you can cry if it hurts.”
“I won’t cry.” Mu Zirui lifted his arm and wiped his chubby cheeks while his young voice was filled with stubbornness.
“Then, explain to us what happened. I’m listening.” Mu Yuchen did not comfort him. Instead, he lowered his sight and stared at Mu Zirui fixedly.
“Lin Xiaolin wanted to lift Qi Weier’s skirt, so she resisted and accidentally fell down the staircase. I was just pa.s.sing by and wanted to give her a hand, but Lin Xiaolin ran into me. I got this from the corner of the handrail,” Mu Zirui explained very simply.
Just as Mu Zirui finished explaining, the boy opposite him started accusing him furiously, “Nonsense! I didn’t! It’s him! Daddy, Mummy, it’s him who wanted to lift Qi Weier’s skirt, not me!”
Mu Yuchen creased his eyebrows, then he turned his gaze and looked at Teacher w.a.n.g who was standing next to them. The director of the students’ discipline office seemed to be standing outside of the room now, and it was quite the scene.
“I’ll leave this matter to the school. I hope you’ll investigate it clearly.”
“Don’t you worry, Chairman Mu, we will! I’m so sorry to have wronged your son. Xiao Rui has always been a great student in both character and academics in school. I think there must be some misunderstanding in this matter. We’ll investigate the matter as soon as we get back.”
“Who said my boy is a savage? It’s not all talk when it comes to upbringing!” As Mu Yuchen glared askance at the Lin couple, the husband and wife could not help but tremble. They dared not say anything at that moment, and the arrogance that had bl.u.s.tered from before was nowhere to be seen.
…
Mu Zirui was badly injured and had a dozen st.i.tches on his arm while there were also several bruises on his legs. According to the doctor, he could rest at home for a day or two.
When they were walking out of the infirmary, Qi Feng asked Gu Lingsha to take Qi Weier to the car first while he walked toward the figure standing in the corridor outside the infirmary. In fact, he rarely spoke to Mu Yuchen face to face, but deep down, he had always known that the latter had been a formidable opponent to the extent that all Qi Feng’s precise deployments were accurately nullified, and all his plans and efforts were destroyed.
When he was a few steps away from behind Mu Yuchen, he suddenly stopped. After a moment of silence, he took out the cigarette packet from his pocket and lit a stick. He then took a few sips before walking forward again.
“Surprise, surprise. I thought we would never meet again, and you’ve always been the man behind the curtains. So, how does it feel? When you successfully brought me down, the person sitting in that position wasn’t me after all. Are you happy?” Qi Feng’s still tone slashed through the air. Although it sounded calm, Mu Yuchen could also capture such a hint of coldness between the lines.
“The man behind the curtains, huh?” Mu Yuchen crossed his hands and turned his head, shooting Qi Feng a faint sideways glance.
“Stop acting. I know that you were behind many of the incidents, including the incident with Qi Lei, the accident with Qi Qiming, even now…You’ve been targeting me from the dark since day one. Are you trying to get rid of me using the police force?” Qi Feng puffed out a mouthful of smoke coldly and glanced at Mu Yuchen fixedly.
As Mu Yuchen was listening, the corners of his lips twitched and he gave off an indifferent sneer. He then said disapprovingly, “Then, what about you? Are you not going to deal with me too? You already planned to use Lingtian before he died. I won’t deny that I once thought of handing over Glory World Corporation to Lingtian, he must have told you that, right?”
Qi Feng smirked. “You’re right. He did tell me that. Moreover, Lingtian was very excited about it. It’d be great if he could be in charge of the company since he’d have been of great help to me.” Qi Feng did not bother to even hide his true colors.
“You thought if Lingtian were to be in charge of Glory World Corporation, then he’d be of great help to you when you want to seize the Qi Kai Group. You knew he liked Gu Lingsha, so you hitched her to your side of the game to make them both your p.a.w.ns. With that, you didn’t have to worry that Lingtian was not on your side. You were gambling on Lingtian’s feelings for Gu Lingsha,” Mu Yuchen took a deep breath and said unconcernedly. His dim eyes glistened with a beam of cold light while staring at the silent sky before him.
“Mu Yuchen, Mu Yuchen, you’re really as smart as advertised, but you’re only half right about that matter. I don’t deny that I got myself an insurance policy because I was worried about w.a.n.g Qin’s influence. However, whether you believe it or not, my feelings towards Shasha are genuine. I once loved Shasha. I’ve only loved one woman in my life, and that woman is her.”
When Qi Feng said this, he calmed down, threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, and continued, “Back then, she was as charming and elegant as the princess of a fairy tale, so it was normal for me to have feelings for her, but what you don’t know is that she only had her eyes on you that time. I felt a little resentful when I knew that she was your fiancée. Fortunately, I still got her in the end.
“But it’s a pity that Doris screwed the plan up in the end, which caused those absurd matters to take place later. They happened so suddenly that it caught us off-guard too! Lingtian died, and we were…It was you who screwed things up that time. Everything wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t left at first. You still hold some responsibility for the death of Mu Lingtian because you were the leading role in that incident, weren’t you?”
“Qi Lei was just a piece of trash back then. I’m not sure if I’d underestimated him or you. If it wasn’t for you, the Qi Kai Group should’ve been mine now. And you still want to doom me to death, don’t you? Mu Yuchen, I’ll give let you be frank. Do I have the right to hate you?”
“I know that you hate me, but don’t you want to doom me to death too? The incident in B City, Xiaye’s premature labor, the incident with w.a.n.g Qin, and the incident with Xiaye at the hotel…You’re very smart and know where my soft spot is, so you want to provoke me. If you’d succeeded in the latter and my wife was hurt even to the slightest, you dying thousands of times still wouldn’t be enough to vent my hatred.” As Mu Yuchen said so, his tone suddenly became cold. It seemed like a black cloth that was covering his face had been pulled off, revealing a stern and menacing expression.
