“Aren’t you becoming more and more handsome? And increasingly capable. I heard that you’ve even started a business. Shangzhi is such a big company, but it was established by our Xichen. It’s amazing!”
“Isn’t that so? Sure enough, a distinguished father will have a capable son. Back then, when Ah Che established the Mu Corporation, he was also this capable. Now, the Mu Corporation has dominated Xia Nation. You can see the Mu Corporation’s businesses everywhere!”
“Yes, yes, yes. However, our Xichen’s success is already dazzling. I believe that in a few years, he will surpass Ah Che’s results. He will definitely do better than his predecessor!”
His relatives were here to suck up to him.
Although they did not see Mu Che around, it did not stop them from brown-nosing.
Especially after Mu Xichen turned up, they kept using the term “our Xichen” and “our Ah Che”. It was as if they were a real family.
Li Beinian knew these people.
In her previous life, she was also the daughter-in-law of the Mu Family.
When these people saw her, they nothing but despised her.
Each and every one of them looked at her with their noses in the air, and treated her like she was the dust on the ground.
However, when they saw Lin Kerou, they greeted her with smiles and praised her.
And when Mu Xichen was at a disadvantage, they would hit him while he was down.
She remembered clearly what they had said:
“Just because he didn’t inherit the Mu Family’s assets, he resorted to earning such unclean money!”
“A Major General of a nation actually did such a heartless thing after being discharged from the army. To think he had such an excellent brother. If only he had half of Donglin’s ability or was generally sensible, he wouldn’t have ended up in this state.”
“But you have to be understanding. He had already severed ties with the Mu Family. Whatever the Mu Family owns has nothing to do with him. He’s also someone who’s used to living a good life. He can’t stand being poor, so he’s blinded by greed. Sigh!”
“It’s a good thing that a person who can’t withstand the test of life is shot to death. Donglin is still the better person!”
At that time, Li Beinian was already pregnant and staying with the Mu Family.
Although she didn’t know the Mu Xichen they were talking about, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed listening to them.
Ultimately, she was still a member of the Mu Family.
Even if he had already been executed, as relatives, they shouldn’t have said such things.
Unexpectedly, after being reborn, Li Beinian saw their true colors once more.
Listening to them was like swallowing a fly… disgusting beyond words.
Now that she saw them, she didn’t even feel like greeting them.
In fact, Mu Xichen treated them like nothing.
The servant girl had already gone to inform them when she saw Mu Xichen arriving.
As Mu Che’s personal butler, Mu Yun had personally come out to welcome him.
Mu Xichen walked in with Li Beinian. From the start to the end, he did not pay any attention to these gossipy relatives. He did not even look at them.
Some of the more shy ones were already blushing.
The more shameless ones did not care and said, “This child did not grow up in the Mu Family. It’s not surprising he doesn’t know us.”
Li Beinian heard this.
She laughed and said sarcastically under her breath, “If you can flatter a stranger to this extent, I can’t imagine what you’d say if you knew the person.”
