Novel Bin Chapter 84 - 84 Changed His Mind
Duan Si’s eyes suddenly widened. “What does that countryside girl have to do with it? Why are you apologizing to her? She just a girl who is here to counteract bad luck—”
“Shut up!” Mu Chen pointed at his daughter-in-law and shouted angrily.
Startled, Duan Si shut her mouth resentfully.
Mu Chen’s face darkened. He took a deep breath and asked Mu Ci, “Where’s Bei Shuo?”
Mu Ci said calmly, “She’s too tired and still sleeping.”
Mu Chen and the others knew that she hadn’t slept the night before because she was taking care of Mu Ci, but Duan Si and Mu En couldn’t help but think wrongly.
Duan Si sneered and said, “How can you say such shameless words? We’re all here, but she’s a wife who’s here to counteract your bad luck. Yet, she’s sleeping soundly? Hmph! How uncultured!”
Mu Ci looked at Duan Si with a gaze that was as cold as ice.
Duan Si’s heart skipped a beat.
Mu Chen said in a deep voice, “Do you know that Mu Ci almost died the day before yesterday because of your bowl of ‘Buddha Jumps Over The Wall’ soup? Bei Shuo was the one who took care of him all night. A counteract-bad-luck wife is much more reliable than you as his mom!”
Duan Si’s eyes widened. “Dad! What do you mean by that? What do you mean by almost dying because of my ‘Buddha Jumps Over The Wall’ soup? I-I was kind enough to cook for my son. How did it become harming him?”
Mu Chen and Mu Ci looked at each other. As expected, Duan Si did not know. It was as they had guessed.
Mu En knelt down and walked to Duan Si’s side on his knees. He was also shocked. “W-What’s going on? Is your illness acting up again? Why didn’t you go to the hospital? Is it very serious?”
His words woke Duan Si up. She immediately said, “Dad! Don’t always scare me. I didn’t hear that Mu Ci was going to the hospital yesterday. Last night, Mu En had a fever and called Dr. Li, but I didn’t hear him say that Mu Ci was sick.”
Mu Chen’s eyes widened in anger.
Mu En hurriedly said, “Grandpa, Grandpa, what my mother means is that there’s definitely no problem with the ‘Buddha Jumps Over The Wall’ soup she gave Brother. My mother wouldn’t harm my brother. Grandpa, is there a misunderstanding? Sister-in-law, do you really know how to treat illnesses?”
His last sentence was clearly softer, carrying doubts that he did not dare to say but had to.
Mu Ci couldn’t stand for too long. Liu Ming pushed the wheelchair over and Mu Ci sat down slowly. “You saw it with your own eyes. I can stand and take a few steps. Bei Shuo cured me. Mu En, my bottom line is Bei Shuo. There’s no need to test me. I’ll tell you directly!”
Mu En was stunned.
Mu Ci looked at his brother, his heart cold.
His feelings for Mu En were very complicated. He was jealous of him. He had watched his parents dote on him since he was young and turned a blind eye to him. Every child would be jealous, right?
However, as his older brother, he would do everything he could for him.
It was a pity that his sincerity could not be exchanged for his younger brother’s sincerity.
Even if Mu En was really controlled by the drug, he could not forgive him for his actions last night.
Bei Shuo was his bottom line.
Mu Ci looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen avoided his grandson’s gaze and said in a low voice, “Get up.”
Duan Si threw caution to the wind. She went to help his son up first. “Get up quickly. Grandpa told you to get up!”
This time, Mu En did not pester him anymore. He stood up obediently. He had been kneeling for too long and his feet were numb. His legs went limp and he almost fell again, causing Duan Si’s heart to ache again.
Mu Chen looked at the mother and son, then at Mu Ci, who was alone, and made up his mind.
“Mu En, did you know? Your brother begged me a few days ago to announce you as the successor of the Mu Corporation.” Mu Chen looked at Mu En.
Mu En’s body trembled.
Duan Si was pleasantly surprised.
“Your brother is devoted to you. In order to prevent you from being criticized, he even decided to leave the Mu Family with Bei Shuo and do his best to fulfill your wish. All these years, you know very well how your parents have treated him. I’m very touched that he can still treat you like this. Initially, I had already decided to agree to it because I felt that you could take on a huge responsibility. However, I didn’t expect… Sigh! Mu En, there are gods above you. Only you know what you’re thinking. However, the Mu Corporation isn’t ours alone. I have to be responsible for the entire family.”
After saying that, Mu Chen looked at Mu Ci. “Mu Ci, I can’t agree to your request. Now that your condition has improved, I can see hope again. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, the rules of the Mu Family can’t be changed!”
