Chapter 146 - She knew she’s in love with Mu ZhenYu; she just missed the chance to tell it to him. (2)

Looking at the infuriated Mu XiYuan, Xu WanZhi only felt that she was looking at a beast who had lost control of itself. She sneered and she wasn’t afraid of him at all. In fact, she said to him calmly, “You asked me why I stand by Mu ZhenYu all the way. Truth be told, I don’t know either. At the beginning, I just wanted to carry out the contract like I was paid to do, then I can go off with my money. I ended up with an engagement ring. It’s sort of like a transformation… that’s the way that many things are in life. If it’s meant to be, you can’t avoid it. If it isn’t, look at the way you and Wang LiZhen had fought for it, all your effort was still moot.”

“Hahahaha. I guess you had fallen in love with him and got yourself dragged into this.” Mu XiYuan let go of her and returned to the expression that he was in control of it all. “Xu WanZhi, I feel bad for you. If all you like is money and just wanted the lifestyle of being rich, we make a good couple. The entire Mu’s could belong to us. I had even thought about that you are pretty enough that I can take you out to places. I can totally afford to keep you as Mrs. Mu. Then you can look for lovers on the side as could I. It will be a symbiotic relationship. Wouldn’t that be nice? But no, you have to go and fall in love with that brother of mine.”

Xu WanZhi stretched the corners of her mouth and smiled in resignation.

What she regretted about wasn’t the fact that she had fallen in love with Mu ZhenYu, but that she just found out that she had fallen in love with him and hadn’t has a chance to tell him.

That moment, Mu XiYuan’s cellphone rang. By now, he didn’t care about avoiding Xu WanZhi anymore and picked up the phone right in front of her.

Xu WanZhi had good hearing and she could hear what the person on the other end was saying.

“Old Man Mu had made his move. I just caught wind from our buddies inside that said that there was an outbreak at Wang LiZhen’s prison during exercise time and she was stabbed accidentally. But my man saw that she had many wounds and bruises on her body. She was probably tortured beforehand. In fact, it was possible that she didn’t die from the stab wound. That could have been added later.”

Mu XiYuan mumbled a “Mmm” lowly. He was awfully calm when he listened to person over the call as though it was his birth mother than was being discussed but some random woman.

After a while, he hung up the phone and started to laugh.

“Xu WanZhi… hahahaha. Did you hear that? Mu XueLin had my mother killed.” His face was twisted from the gloomy smile and his eyes were as dark as they could be. “That’s woman for you. She was too soft. All these years being next to Mu XueLin, she had a million chances to take care of him and take his money. Yet, she was being an idiot and insisted on staying by the man’s side. She felt that she’d have someone to rely on that way. Then what? She ended up losing her life over it. Sadly, my poor mother probably didn’t even know what she died of. She must think that the order was given by Mu ZhenYu.”

Walking over to Xu WanZhi, he bent down and looked into her eyes at her level. “That’s what I am telling you, Xu WanZhi. You should never rely on a man. If you don’t pull yourself out soon enough, you will end up the same way as her.”

Xu WanZhi looked back at him fearlessly. “Don’t worry. That won’t happen to me. Mu ZhenYu is not the same as Mu XueLin. And I am no Wang LiZhen.”

“HAHAHAHA. Right, right, right.” Mu XiYuan lowered his head, pulled out his cellphone and dialed a video chat request. It didn’t take long for the other end to pick up. Xu WanZhi could clearly see Mu ZhenYu’s face appearing on Mu XiYuan’s screen.
