Upon hearing Mo Chuxi’s question and seeing the sinister smile on his face, Mu Qianshui instantly realized the truth!
She thought that giving an accurate timeline would leave no room for flaws, but unexpectedly, the timeline itself became the most glaring flaw!
She had indeed gone to find Mo Chuxi at nine o’clock, but within minutes, he had coldly and decisively turned her away.
However, what she hadn’t anticipated was that within those short ten minutes, Yan Xinxin had entered his room!
And she had become the antidote for Mo Chuxi that night...
He’s completely aware of what happened that night!
"What’s wrong? Are you scared now?"
Mo Chuxi asked coldly, his piercing eyes locking onto Mu Qianshui’s as her face turned pale.
"Did you really think a forged paternity test would make me believe you? Do you think I’m so easily fooled by your tricks?"
"Chuxi, I didn’t, I really didn’t..."
"Didn’t what? Didn’t put on an act pretending to be all pitiful? Didn’t attempt to lie and make me believe I’d been with you?"
Mo Chuxi interrupted impatiently.
"Mu Chenxi isn’t your daughter at all. That child is nothing more than a tool you picked up to shield yourself."
"H-How can this be? That’s impossible!"
Ning Zitong was struck yet again.
Mo Chuxi’s words carried logic and evidence, and indeed, she could see Mu Qianshui’s face turning pale, her eyes flickering with guilt—clear signs she was hiding something!
"Qianshui, tell me the truth. Is what Chuxi said real? Is it true!"
Mu Qianshui vehemently denied, tears rolling down her face. The nearby servants couldn’t help but look on in shock. Was this truly the esteemed actress they had admired for so long?
"Chuxi, Chenxi really is our daughter, really, truly... truly..."
"Truly? You don’t even know how to spell the word ’truth.’"
Mo Chuxi spoke with cold indifference, his lips curling in disdain.
Mu Qianshui’s heart gave a sudden shudder.
"Keep acting. Don’t stop now. Only this way can I prepare the most fitting end for your performance."
Mu Qianshui looked utterly panicked, her heart racing in fear.
Under the shocked gazes of Ning Zitong and Mu Shaoqian, Mo Chuxi turned and walked away with an air of nonchalance, his departing figure radiating sheer coldness and detachment.
"Qianshui, was what Mo Chuxi just said true? You’re confusing me and mom! Is Xixi really your daughter with Mo Chuxi?"
Mu Shaoqian asked irritably, his tone laced with agitation, his lips twitching in pain.
The punch Mo Chuxi had landed was still faintly throbbing.
Ning Zitong was equally flustered.
"Qianshui! Speak up already!"
Mu Qianshui stayed silent for a long while as if lost in thought, before raising her teary gaze.
"Mom, brother, do you not trust my words either?"
Her eyes brimmed with tears as she asked, her tone filled with grievance.
"You both have watched me grow up. Would you rather believe Chuxi over me? I’ve already lost Chenxi, and now I’m about to lose Chuxi too. My heart hurts so much..."
As Mu Qianshui spoke, she covered her face, sobbing as she turned and ran upstairs. Her figure was both pitiful and pathetic.
Thinking about how ruthless Mo Chuxi had been, Mu Shaoqian’s anger flared.
"Mom, that Mo guy is too awful! Back then, all the kindness he showed to Yuan was probably just an act. Look at how badly he’s hurt Qianshui!"
He vented angrily, only to see Ning Zitong standing dazed in thought.
"Mom, what are you thinking? No matter what, we the Mu family won’t swallow this insult! We absolutely cannot let Mo Chuxi and that Yan Xinxin happily get married and take Xixi away!"
"Yes, that Yan Xinxin! She’s also responsible for hurting our Qianshui!"
After leaving the Mu family, Mo Chuxi’s mood could only be described as excellent.
Returning to the apartment, he opened the door and stepped inside, only to hear a loud "clang!"
