“So this was what happened!” Old Master Li fiercely clutched his walking stick and glared at Mu Donglin. “How outrageous. You’re the one who committed adultery. How dare you try to defame our Nian Nian! You’re worse than an animal!”
After hearing Old Master Li’s words, Mu Donglin was so enraged that he was speechless.
Who was the guilty party now?
Who was being defamed now?
The true crook was the one pretending to be innocent!
Old Master’s reaction was too fast. Once he scolded him, everyone turned to look at Mu Donglin.
“It turns out that Li Beinian was sent away a long time ago?”
“The woman on the phone must be Lin Kerou. She was with Mu Donglin last night!”
“I thought that Li Beinian and Mu Xichen’s adulterous relationship was being exposed today. What happened…”
…
Just now when there was supposedly irrefutable evidence against Li Beinian, everyone was excited to see the situation unfold and they all wanted to tear her apart.
However, now, the accused was Mu Donglin.
Although there was discussion, it was ten times softer.
Oh, this was the difference between the two families!
Old Master Li was furious and was disgusted with Mu Donglin. He shouted, “Even if you don’t like Nian Nian, you can just call off the engagement. Don’t you know how damaging this rumor is to a girl’s reputation?”
Mu Donglin took a deep breath to calm himself down before he answered, “Grandpa Li, there’s a misunderstanding.”
“Please!” Old Master Li unkindly sneered and fiercely slammed his walking stick on the ground. “What misunderstanding can there be? You always had an unclear relationship with that Miss Lin. You were with her last night, yet you’re trying to accuse Nian Nian and Xichen. How shameless must you be!”
“Exactly. So shameless!”
“Didn’t you say that Nian Nian made you feel like a cuckold? How can you explain this now?”
“Is he going to be let off the hook because he’s a man? He has unclear relations with Miss Lin. Does he even respect the Li Family?”
…
All of them were Li Family members.
Mu Donglin did expect such a situation at all!
He was no longer calm.
With haphazard breathing, he glared at Mu Xichen in fury.
It was very obvious that he was manipulated by Mu Xichen.
At this time, Mu Xichen remained calm as usual. In the face of his wrath, he was not bothered. Slowly, he said, “I didn’t expect you to be so anxious.”
Mu Donglin had lost all sense of logic as he was overcome with anger.
Although others were unaware, he was extremely clear.
It was definitely Mu Xichen messing around!
Mu Xichen fiddled with his watch and said with a slight smile, “Congratulations in advance. You and Miss Lin can have a proper relationship now.”
He spoke slowly and calmly.
After so many years of interacting with him, Mu Donglin clearly knew that he was provocating him!
After he and Lin Kerou were together, did this mean that this man could have a legitimate relationship with Li Beinian?
Haha, in his dreams!
Mu Donglin’s face darkened as he sneered. “Mu Xichen, is this worth it for a woman?”
“What about you, then?” Mu Xichen chuckled.
“In order to protect a woman, you defamed another woman and even pulled me into the situation by accusing me of conducting adultery. Don’t you think it’s very despicable?”
He spoke at an appropriate pace.
It was so calm that Li Beinian could hear her own wildly beating heart.
Finally, she understood the story he was spinning!
The three of them knew what happened, but the others did not!
This man clearly made it seem that Mu Donglin’s actions were inexcusable… This was really too despicable!
