A sharp gleam flashed across Mu Lianjueâs eyes as he stared at his unconscious father.
âShut up!â howled Mu Yazhe.
Even his unconscious grandfather seemed to be startled by him; his eyelashes fluttered but there was still no sign of him waking up.
âThose are no excuses!â
âHe he! Excuses?! What are excuses?!â
His fourth uncle stood up in anger. His hawk eyes were fixed on him as he pointed at Mu Sheng sinisterly. âHe promised me back then that Iâd be the heir to our family, but what happened in the end? What was the outcome?! Just because Iâm a b*st*rd, this old man went back on his words and selected Mu Liancheng as his heir, instead! Why?! Was it because of your father getting the Jiangsâ support through his marriage with Jiang Yishan, or was it because of his honorable status as the first wifeâ son?! Just because Iâm a b*st*rd, I deserve to live humbly and be looked down upon?!â
He was boiling in rage as he uttered such words in a loud voice akin to a great explosion. âIn terms of capability and finesse, in what way am I beneath him?! Itâs clear that Iâm more outstanding than him and more qualified to get the inheritance rights! Just because Iâm a b*stard, all my efforts are so easily vilified by this world! Why?! I ask you: Why?!â
âSo you had my father killed.â Mu Yazheâs raging emotion gradually calmed as he regarded his uncle coldly.
âThatâs right!â The older man gritted his teeth as his facial muscles twitched in wrath.
âWhy did you do that?â interrogated his nephew. âMy father was a peace-loving man. Heâd definitely give up the family head position to you if you just asked!â
âGive up?!â He burst into laughter and his cold eyes glinted. ââGive upâ?! What was that?! Was I a beggar? Was I so pathetic to need his pity and charity?! I didnât need him to give anything to me! The Mu inheritance rights were mine in the first place!â
The younger chap fell silent.
He suddenly laughed darkly. âDo you know how it felt then?! Why should the things I fought for with all my might be given to him so effortlessly?! Why were those, which I regarded as my life, be deemed as worthless by him?! Was he mocking me?!â
He had totally given himself to the dark side as he howled, âI didnât need his charity and pity! Not only did he rob me of my things, he didnât care about them at all; wasnât that a great insult to me?! He he! Besides having a slightly better life than me, in what ways was he superior to me?! Other than his status, what rights did he have to take all that belonged to me?!â
âJust because of this...â Mu Yazhe clenched his fists tightly as anger welled up in him. If he did not restrain himself with all his might, he would surely shoot this man to death!
His fourth uncle laughed darkly. âDonât blame me for being hard-hearted! Itâs all that foolish old manâs fault. Since he wants to do it this way, Iâll let him have a taste of losing his loved ones and let him see how painful it is!â
His eyes narrowed dangerously.
His fourth uncle had long been included in those he suspected back then.
