42 Mother’s Anger
Bei Le hurriedly introduced, “This is my brother, Bei Cong!”
The Bei Family was her springboard now. She would not let any of them off, including that slippery Bei Shuo!
“Brother, where did you go? Why did you leave me here alone?” Bei Le complained softly. There seemed to be tears in her eyes. She was timid and soft.
Bei Cong had grown up with her and they had a tacit understanding. He immediately apologized. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Were you frightened?”
The brother and sister were respectful and loving.
“Brother, this is Brother-in-law’s younger brother, Mu En.” Bei Le introduced him to Bei Cong in embarrassment.
Mu En watched as Bei Cong extended his hand. Bei Le’s introduction was about her brother-in-law’s younger brother, not the Second Young Master of the Mu Family. This meant that they were not social climbers. They were real relatives. Interesting!
Bei Cong hurriedly reached out and shook his hand. “Second Young Master, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Mu En reached out and hugged his shoulder warmly. “Why are you so polite? We’re proper relatives! This is all our fault. I don’t know when my brother will be able to hold a wedding as he’s sick. In the end, our families didn’t have a chance to get to know each other. Young Master Bei, let’s interact more in the future.”
He turned to look at the timid Bei Le beside him and smiled. “You can’t hide a cute girl like Bei Le at home.”
Bei Cong immediately understood what Mu En meant from his eyes and could not help but be filled with joy.
When they sat down again, the Bei siblings had already become close to Mu En.
On the other side, Duan Si paced around the living room like a trapped beast.
Song Nan brought over a pot of flower tea and placed it on the coffee table. She walked to Duan Si’s side and helped her sit down on the sofa. She said gently, “Auntie, please rest. You’ve been walking around for half a day. What are you upset about?”
Duan Si’s heart ached when she saw the beautiful face in front of her. She patted Song Nan’s hand. “Song Nan, thank goodness I still have you!”
Song Nan smiled. “Looks like you’re worried about Uncle Mu Guo again. Auntie, haven’t you gotten over it? As long as Uncle doesn’t bring that woman back and you have the status of Mrs. Mu, you don’t have to care what he does.”
Duan Si sighed. “That’s true, but it’s easier said than done. I want to kill that b*tch to vent my hatred when I think about how I’m surrounded in this family and become a joke for the entire family! Song Nan, you know how difficult it has been for me all these years.”
Duan Si’s eyes turned red.
Song Nan held Duan Si’s hand and leaned towards her. She had heard such words countless times over the years.
However, she had to pretend to feel sorry for her every time to show that she empathized with her.
Duan Si sighed again. “I’ve worked hard in this family, but Mu Guo is cuddling with other women! He never cares about his son! Is our son just mine? If he’s really capable, he could have withstood the pressure of the two families back then. Don’t marry me! Yet he married me and let me down. He doesn’t have the contractual spirit at all! Hmph! It’s no wonder Old Master refused to give him his power! He deserves it!”
Song Nan said gently, “After all, Old Master knows and he treats you well. You have to relax and not always make things difficult for yourself. It’s not good for your health to be angry, right?”
Duan Si sighed. “I want that too! All these years, if you hadn’t reminded me and comforted me from time to time, I really wouldn’t have been able to live like this for a minute. But Song Nan, I thought that Mu Guo was my fate. I accepted it, but I didn’t expect that the son I gave birth to isn’t on the same side as me as well. You saw his attitude towards me, right? I’m not his biological mother in his eyes. I’m even worse than a stepmother!”
Song Nan knew that Duan Si and Mu Ci had never been on good terms with each other. If not for their relationship, she would not be in such an awkward situation.
“Auntie, listen to my advice and have a good talk with Mu Ci. You can take advantage of this illness to accompany him more and ease their relationship. How can there be overnight grudges between mother and son? Mu Ci has the same temper as you because he’s your biological son. He’s so stubborn about family ties. You miss Mu Ci, but you won’t show it in your attitude. Mu Ci can’t be blamed for misunderstanding you, right?”
