The bedroom was silent for a long time before li hanzheng finally spoke.âYouâre not drunk anymore?â
Mu Sheng nodded. Then, she remembered that li Hanchen could not see her movements at all.âIâm already awake.â
Li Hanchen did not answer her question. Mu Sheng asked again,âcan you not lie to me in the future?â
Li Hanchen turned around. Although the room was dark, Mu Sheng could clearly feel his gaze on him.
âDo you want to know more about me?â
âYes, I do.â Mu Sheng did not know much about li Hanchen. She only knew that li Hanchen was an abandoned child of the Li family.
Li Hanchen seemed to sigh slightly, then told Mu Sheng about the things he had never told anyone before.
Li Hanchen and Li anâs mother had married Li Ting at a low price.
At the beginning of Li Tingâs career, he had doted on Mrs. Li. As Li Tingâs career grew, he had a mistress and an illegitimate child behind Mrs. Liâs back.
After Mrs. Li found out, she quarreled with Li Ting for a long time. At that time, Li Ting had already grown his wings and was not afraid of Mrs. Li causing trouble.
Later, Mrs. Li fell seriously ill for some reason and left li an and Li Hanchen very quickly. Li Ting openly told his mistress and
Li Hanchen could have gotten by with li an alone.
However, no one had expected that more than a decade ago, at Li Mingâs birthday party, the kidnappers took advantage of the chaos and kidnapped Li Ming and Li Hanchen.
The kidnapper asked for one billion.
Although it was a lot of money, it was more than enough for the Li family.
However, the Li family chose Li Ming and gave up on li Hanchen.
Li Hanchen had caused the kidnappers to lose one billion Yuan. In addition, he had lost all value and had followed the kidnappers from continent Y to continent M, and then to continent F.
He had suffered all kinds of torture along the way. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldnât have been able to survive any day.
But at that time, li Hanchen had managed to hold on with his hatred.
Later, li Hanchen found an opportunity to escape from the kidnappers ânest.
In order to avoid their pursuit, li Hanchen lived alone in the tropical poisonous forest for an entire year. He drank rainwater and ate the prey he caught in the forest.
After that, he finally returned to the normal world and followed a cargo ship to continent M. With the sum of money that Madam li had left for them in Mei nation, he established his own business.
In just nine years, Wansheng group had become the top company in the world.
All these years, li Hanchen had basically exhausted all of his energy. When he only had one year left to live, li Hanchen returned to China and established shengshi group there.
He wanted to see the Li family destroyed with his own eyes at the last moment.
However, he did not expect to meet Mu Sheng this time.
Mu Sheng listened in silence. Although li Hanchen had only casually mentioned the days in the hands of the kidnappers, it was obvious how tormented he would have been in the hands of those fugitives.
In the eyes of others, it was a miracle to build a business Kingdom in nine years. However, behind such a miracle, li Hanchen must have worked hard.
âI donât have the intention to lie to you.â Li Hanchen looked in Mu Shengâs direction.âI just didnât want to get you involved.â
In this world, it was not always black and white. Li Hanchen had never thought of himself as a good person. He did not want to drag Mu Sheng into the dark World.
âIâm sorry,âshe said. Mu Sheng tugged on li Hanchenâs sleeve.âIâve misunderstood you.â
âAre you still angry?â Li Hanchen followed Mu Shengâs movements and held her hand.
âNo.â Mu Sheng moved closer to li Hanchen and asked curiously,âso, are you very rich?â
Li Hanchen chuckled.âYes, heâs very rich.â
Mu Sheng felt that it was a little magical. He had thought that li Hanchen was very poor, but who would have thought that he would suddenly become the richest man in the world? the contrast was amazing.â
Although countless people had praised him over the years, none of them had ever made him as happy as he was today.âI canât buy you things openly now. When the Li family falls, Iâll buy you whatever you want.â
Mu Shengâs eyes widened slightly.âLi Hanchen, why are you so good?â
Li Hanchen did not say anything, but quietly held Mu Shengâs hand under the blanket.
After talking for so long, Mu Sheng felt sleepy again. She yawned.âIâm so sleepy.â
âGo to sleep.â Li Hanchen stretched out his hand and tightened the blanket on Mu Shengâs shoulder. Then, he patted her back.
Surrounded by li Hanchenâs breath, Mu Sheng fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Sheng fell asleep, but li Hanchen could not fall asleep for a long time.
He thought of Chu Qi.
In the end, after struggling for a long time, a sigh suddenly sounded in the dark room.
Li Hanchen reached out and touched Mu Shengâs face, his eyes full of gloom.
âAs long as you donât leave, I can pretend I donât know even if you like him.â
He used to think that he was someone who couldnât tolerate any sand in his eyes, but later he realized that if the person was her, he could also tolerate countless sand in his eyes.
In her sleep, Mu Sheng only felt an itch on her head. She subconsciously reached out to stop the hand that had been causing trouble. It was only when she held the hand in her arms that the hand calmed down.
ââ
That night was a sleepless night for the Li and mu families.
When mu ting dragged his exhausted body back home, Zhang man was waiting for him.
âHubby, whatâs wrong? Did something happen in the company?â Zhang man had never seen mu ting like this before.
He seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and his entire face was full of fatigue.
Mu ting sat on the sofa and looked at Zhang man.âGet me a glass of water.â
Zhang man gestured for the nanny to pour a glass of water for mu ting.
After mu ting finished drinking, he suddenly threw the cup on the ground.âDamn it! I donât know whoâs targeting our Mu family behind our backs!â
In one night, the MU familyâs companyâs stock market value had evaporated by more than a billion. The capital chain was broken, and most of the partners had to terminate their contracts. Now, the entire company was in a state of paralysis.
Zhang man was shocked. She frowned.âDid something happen at the company?â
Mu ting then looked at Zhang man.âAsk Mu Ying to pack up and go to the Li family with me.â
Ever since Li Ming and Mu Yingâs incident, mu ting had been calm and wanted to wait for the Li family to come to talk about the wedding first.
However, after waiting for so long, there was no movement from the Li family. Now that the MU familyâs capital chain was about to break, he could only put down his face and go to the Li family.
âAlright,â he said. Zhang man couldnât wait for mu ting to quickly go to the Li family to discuss the matters between the two families.
Very quickly, Mu Ying dressed up and went downstairs. When she saw mu ting, Mu Ying was very surprised.âFather, whatâs wrong?â
Mu ting waved his hand.âLetâs go. Take the doctorâs report with you that day.â
âAlright,â he said.
Mu Ying put the doctorâs injury report into her bag, then sneaked a glance at Zhang man. Zhang man nodded at mu Xiao, and Mu Ying then followed mu ting.
Mu ting brought Mu Ying to the Li familyâs house. After explaining the purpose of their visit, the Butler asked the two of them to wait at the door.
This wait lasted for an hour.
Mu ting was very impatient from waiting. He glanced at Mu Ying.âCall Li Ming and ask if heâs home.â
Mu Xiao dialed the number, but only heard the busy toot.
At this moment, the Li familyâs butler finally appeared. His face was full of disdain.âIâm sorry, President mu. Our President li is not here. You can come back another day.â
âThen why didnât you say so earlier? Youâve made us wait here for so long. â
âLook at what youâre saying, President mu. There are too many things to do in our house. I accidentally forgot about it. Please forgive me.â The Butler seemed to be apologizing, but his attitude was perfunctory.
Mu ting suppressed the anger in his heart.âThen, when will President li come back?â We have something to discuss with him. â
âIâm not sure about that.â The Butler turned around and left as if he did not want to talk to mu ting anymore.âIâll tell President li when heâs back.â
Looking at the Butlerâs back as he left, mu ting was furious.
How could he not see the Butlerâs attitude? a Butler could not be so arrogant to him. Behind this, it must be the Li familyâs attitude.
âXiaoxiao, didnât you say that your relationship with Li Ming is stable?â
Mu Yingâs expression was a little unnatural when she was asked by mu ting. She laughed dryly and did not know how to respond.
Mu ting snorted and drove back.âI donât want to get involved in this anymore. You can do it yourself.â
It wasnât that mu ting didnât know about Zhang man and Mu Xiâs little tricks in private, but he just turned a blind eye to it. Now that things had become like this, he would only be embarrassing himself if he stepped in. He might as well let the two women do it.
It would be best if he could succeed, but if he didn ât, he would be able to get himself out of it.
Looking at the number that could not be reached no matter how hard she tried, Mu Xi silently pursed her lips and tightened her grip on the phone. She was even more certain of a thought in her heart.
She raised her head and looked at mu ting.âFather, I want to enter the entertainment industry.â
When he heard the word âentertainment industryâ, mu ting subconsciously furrowed his brows. However, he was no longer the person he used to be.
Now that the MU family was facing a huge financial crisis, money could be earned very quickly in the entertainment industry. If Mu Xin could make more money in the entertainment industry, it could also improve the MU familyâs financial crisis.
So, mu ting agreed without hesitation.âSure, just protect yourself.â
Mu Ying was prepared for a long battle and had thought of all kinds of reasons. She did not expect mu ting to agree so quickly. She was a little surprised.âFather?â
âIâve thought it through. Iâve been too restrictive in your life in the past. If you want to go into the entertainment industry, then go. Iâll support you. â Mu ting seemed to be very understanding.
âThank you, Father!â Mu Ying was very happy.
Thus, Mu Xi told Zhang man the good news when she returned home that day.
Zhang man had already gotten someone to arrange everything for Mu Xi. Now that mu ting had agreed, Zhang man immediately informed them to start preparing for Mu Xiâs matter.
So that morning, all the major marketing accounts began to promote a beautiful top student campus Belle.
âWow, I just watched the video of the imperial capital Universityâs anniversary celebration and saw a very good-looking young lady who is very good at playing the piano. I heard from the students of imperial capital University that this person is a top student.â
The attached picture was of Mu Ying playing the piano on the stage. She was wearing a pure white Princess dress, and her beautiful facial features looked as noble and elegant as a real princess under the light.
[Wow, itâs so beautiful. Imperial University. Thatâs amazing. The top student is so beautiful. Iâm so jealous.]
[To be honest, isnât this girl better looking than Mu Sheng???] [I heard that sheâs a girl from the language Department of Imperial University. She got in with solid results and is a real top student, unlike Mu Sheng, whoâs a fake top student.]
[Beautiful!] [This kind of girl is worthy of being called a goddess!!]
The netizens were not so picky about ordinary peopleâs appearance, and Mu Xiâs picture was really outstanding. Very quickly, this picture spread on the internet.
More and more marketing accounts began to repost information related to Mu Xi.
In less than an hour,âthe top student Princessâ was on Weiboâs hot search list. Everyoneâs screen was filled with Mu Ying.
In the villa, it was already Tenoâ clock in the morning when Mu Sheng woke up. She was drunk last night and had a long time.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw li Hanchen lying next to him. Mu Sheng tugged at li Hanchenâs sleeve. Li Hanchen turned his head, his eyes bloodshot, but the expression on his face was very gentle.âYouâre awake?â
Mu Sheng looked at li Hanchen.âDo you still remember what you promised me yesterday?â
Li Hanchenâs eyes flashed with a smile.âWhat?â
Mu Sheng stared into li Hanchenâs eyes.âDonât lie to me again.â
âYes,â li Hanchen nodded,âI remember.â
Only then did Mu Sheng sit up in relief. He yawned.âIâll get up then. Iâll get you breakfast.â
When Mu Sheng went downstairs, she saw li an looking at the list in his hand with a conflicted expression.
âWhatâs wrong?â Mu Sheng asked casually.
Li an frowned.âThe school has to pay for the books again.â
Chongli high school was the best high school in the country. At the same time, the fees were very high. Every time it was time to pay for the books, li an would feel worried.
What should they do? they were so poor.
âThen why are you so conflicted?â
Li an said worriedly,âof course Iâm worried. Brother is so poor. It feels like every time I pay the bill, brother doesnât have any money to eat.â
â.......âMu Sheng thought about li Hanchenâs financial situation and could not help but find it funny.âDonât worry. This little money canât overpower your brother.â
âAlright,â he said. Li an went to li Hanchen to get the money with half guilt and half heartache.
Upstairs, looking at the money transferred to his mobile phone, to be honest, li an was a little embarrassed to accept it, especially when li Hanchen was so injured. He was clearly a person who could not work now!
âBrother, you can cancel the pocket money you give me in the future.â Li an was still very sensible. He looked at li Hanchen seriously.âI donât need pocket money. I can save it for you.â
