Chapter 95 -  Family ("WanWan, you won't leave me, right?") (2)     

Xu WanZhi went on. “XiYuan was very excited, thinking that he will be able to take down his brother this time. What he hadn’t expected was that I did not carry out my end of the bargain. He felt that I had tricked him and hated me for it. Truth was, Old Madam. I have always wanted the two of them to make up with each other. My intention was not to fool anyone.”

She gave the Old Madam a very sincere look and paused at the perfect time to create the suspension before she finally sighed and went on. “The incident was put on the back burner when XiYuan got ill later on. When I found out about his illness, I knew he had the same issue as my other friend. But, just think, why didn’t I give him the prescription that I have right away instead of coming to the Mu’s and using your request and a traditional doctor as a cover treat him? That was because I knew that XiYuan would never trust a prescription from me.”

She sounded very rational while appealing to the Old Madam’s emotion. After the whole speech, she finally slowed down on her talking speed and said, “To XiYuan, no doubt anything from me will be poison. Never mind about the prescription, I think he even held me accountable for him getting sick this time. He would never trust medicines from me. So the only thing I could do was to find someone to pretend to be a traditional doctor and pass on the prescription that I had.”

Having said that, she looked over at Mu XiYuan and asked, “Am I right, XiYuan?”

Her speech had both logic and evidence and it had sufficiently baffled the old madam. 

Mu Ling, hearing all of her words, felt nothing but compassion for her. Frowning and grabbing Xu WanZhi’s hand, she said to her, “I’m sorry you have to go through that, child.”

At the same time, a shred of guilt and embarrassment flashed passed the old madam’s eyes. 

From that slight change on her look, Xu WanZhi could tell that 80% - 90% of what she had said had nailed the issue head on. Mu XiYuan had been badmouthing her a lot around the Mu’s and, very possibly, waiting for an opportunity to play the recording to the old madam. 

Now that she had told the story from a different perspective, that would nip that one in the bud altogether. 

Xu WanZhi looked squarely at Mu XiYuan after she had finished talking. 

That complacent look on him earlier was all gone. In fact, he was giving her a hateful look and gritted his teeth so much that he could crush his molars. Veins were popping on his forehead and his mouth opened and closed repeatedly. Finally, he stood up, pointed straight at Xu WanZhi’s nose and said to her, “Xu WanZhi! You are such a shameless woman! How dare you twist things around like that? That could not be further from the truth! You are such an evil woman!”

“Watch yourself.” Mu ZhenYu stood up as well and took and step and blocked in front of Xu WanZhi. He reached out and grabbed Mu XiYuan’s wrist. “Speak with your mouth. Grandma’s sitting right here. What are you trying to do here?”

Hiding behind Mu ZhenYu, Xu WanZhi’s smile was sweet. She wasn’t worried about enraging Mu XiYuan. The angrier he was, the more it let Xu WanZhi knew that she wasn’t very far from the truth. 

She even wished he’d come charging at her waving his fist. If that was the case, Mu ZhenYu would for sure interfere and she’d be able to witness the pathetic Mu XiYuan being beaten up by his big brother. 

Unfortunately, Mu XiYuan probably still remember the last time he was punched by Mu ZhenYu. He was intimidated by his brother who was taller than him by an entire head. He suppressed his anger and plopped back down onto the couch, still filled with hostility.

Xu WanZhi raised her brows, reached out her little arms, wrapped them around Mu ZhenYu’s and said in a pitiful voice, “ZhenYu, I am fine. Why don’t you sit back down?”
