Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Can I Call You Fujin in the Future?
“Imprisoning me without permission, not giving me food or drink, and letting my cold grow worse.”
“If it weren’t for the medicine provided by Gu Fuzhen, whether I could have survived until today would still be unknown!”
As Mu Chengjin’s voice fell, the atmosphere in the air instantly turned cold.
Gu Siting’s piercing gaze swept toward Father Mu, his indifferent brows and eyes covered with a layer of grim chill, exuding a dark and severe aura.
“He’s your son, and you dare to treat him like this?”
Father Mu had not expected Mu Chengjin to show him such disrespect, his face iron blue as he spoke, “How I treat my son is my business, who are you to yell about it? If it weren’t for saving you, how would Chengjin’s legs have ended up like this?”
Gu Siting’s features were tense, and had the other party not been Mu Chengjin’s father, he might have strangled him on the spot.
Gu Siting gritted his molars, then turned to look at Mu Chengjin, “Will you still stay in this house?”
“Gu Siting, don’t you dare undermine the father-son relationship between me and Chengjin—”
Father Mu hadn’t finished speaking when Mu Chengjin interrupted him hoarsely and indifferently, “Fourth Brother, from today onward, I have nothing to do with the Mu Family. Don’t do anything for the Mu Family on my account anymore!”
“Chengjin, have you gone mad?”
Not just Father Mu, but the people from the second and third branches were panicking too.
Gu Siting was their Mu Family’s cash cow; the projects they got from Gu Siting’s hand were enough to ensure they received a hefty bonus every year.
If they lost Gu Siting’s support, how were they supposed to develop the Mu Family in the future?
“Mu Chengjin, alive you belong to the Mu Family, dead you are the Mu Family’s ghost!”
Mu Chengjin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were clear but indifferent, “I don’t want anything from the Mu Family. I’m only taking my mother.”
Mu Chengjin looked at Mother Mu, “Mom, will you come with me?”
“Chengjin, this is your home, you can’t—”
“Mom, if you won’t leave, I will.” He was no longer willing to compromise and stay in the Mu Family for his mother; only by becoming strong could he protect those he wanted to.
If his mother wished to stay, he would not force her.
Mu Chengjin’s decision was firm and no one could stop him.
The Mu Family did not want Mu Chengjin to leave, but Gu Siting had called his people over, and the Mu Family was no match for them.
“Gu Siting, by taking Chengjin away on your own, do you not care about your reputation at all? Aren’t you afraid of people pointing at your backbone?” Father Mu said in a fit of rage.
Gu Siting sneered coldly, “Someone who harms and uses his own flesh and blood, what right does he have to talk to me about reputation? This time, I will let the Mu Family off for Chengjin’s sake. But if there is a next time, the Mu Family had better prepare to be erased from the Upper Society of Li City!”
Gu Siting’s voice was chilling and resounding!
Ming Yao had been silent all this time, watching Gu Siting who was decisive and domineering, and she saw the most charismatic side of his personality.
Truthfully, Ming Yao quite admired this side of him.
Mu Chengjin got into Gu Siting’s car, and naturally, Ming Yao followed suit and got in as well.
Zhou Zhiyan watched Gu Siting drive away without so much as a glance at her, her beautiful face going pale with anger and frustration, her fingers clenched tightly, feeling uncomfortable and resentful.
Why did Gu Siting treat a little maid better than her?
…
Gu Siting arranged for Mu Chengjin to stay at Imperial Garden, which, aside from the main villa, also had a small western-style building.
Mu Chengjin liked tranquility, so Gu Siting arranged for him to live in the small western-style building behind the main villa.
Ming Yao prepared some light food and snacks in the kitchen and brought them to the small western-style building for Mu Chengjin.
Mu Chengjin was talking with Gu Siting and Yanxi in the living room, and when he saw Ming Yao bring in the snacks, a smile appeared on his clear and refined face, “Thank you, may I call you Fuzhen from now on?”
As soon as the words were spoken, both Gu Siting and Yanxi turned to look at him and Ming Yao.
