136 Coupleâs Hearts Are Together
Bei Shuoâs eyes lit up and she said with a smile, âIâm just a little worried that youâll be hurt by your own mother. She almost never considers your feelings. This is what I dislike about her the most. If you donât mind what she says and does, then she can stay.â
Mu Ci smiled bitterly. âIâm already used to it. If my heart ached before, itâs only numb now. I donât have any hopes or expectations for her. Iâm not surprised by how she treats me. I didnât understand why she treated me like this as my biological mother. Perhaps she canât explain it clearly, so I wonât dwell on this problem anymore.â
Bei Shuo leaned forward and planted a light kiss on his forehead. âThatâs for the best. I donât want to think about why my parents are so devoted to their adopted daughter. Even though Iâm their biological daughter, theyâre not willing to accept me at all. Thatâs not our problem. We canât be at odds with ourselves because of othersâ injustice to us.â
Mu Ci was shocked. He had never thought of such a simple logic.
Bei Shuo heaved a sigh of relief. âMy master said that a person only has a few decades in their life. Aside from the first 10 years when they canât make a decision for themselves, and the next 10 years when theyâre old and canât be themselves, thereâs not much left. Therefore, the most important thing in life is not to make things difficult for yourself. You canât make things difficult for yourself with others.â
Mu Ci smiled and suddenly felt better. âAlright, then let those who make things difficult for us experience the feeling of being in a difficult position!â
Bei Shuo smiled slyly. âSecond Senior Brother said that if people donât provoke me, Iâll do good every day. If people provoke me, their family will be wiped out! Third Senior Brother said that the world is dangerous. If it doesnât work, weâll retreat. The most important thing in a personâs life is to be happy and carefree. Anything that makes it uncomfortable proves that itâs not worth it. Itâs meaningless! Brother, what do you think?â
Mu Ci nodded. âVery philosophical. Sounds like your Second Senior Brother. What does your Third Senior Brother do?â
Bei Shuo shook his head. âI donât know. In any case, they can support themselves and will definitely live happily. Thereâs no need to worry about them! Letâs worry about ourselves first! Bei Le is a person with a lot of evil ideas. She is different in front of others. Brother, you have to be careful!â
âWhen I first returned to the Bei Family, Bei Le committed suicide several times, scaring them so much that they almost chased me out. If not for the sudden engagement with the Mu Family, I would have been kicked out by Bei Le. So donât be bewitched by her appearance. If she comes to seduce you, donât fall for it!â
Bei Shuo voiced her concerns directly. Other than seduction, she couldnât think of anything else Bei Le could do.
This made Mu Ci happy. He pinched her chin and smiled. âOur Bei Shuo is jealous now?â
Bei Shuo nodded. âOf course. If other women covet my husband, of course I wonât be willing. Iâll be on guard!â
Mu Ci laughed. The gloominess in his heart had mostly dissipated.
âIf Iâm right, Mu En is really related to Bei Le, then itâs very likely that Mu En was the one who instigated Bei Le to cause trouble at home.â
Only then did Bei Shuo remember. âBy the way, why did Grandpa leave in a huff?â
Mu Ciâs expression was a little strange. He said calmly, âGrandpa wanted to announce to the public that I was the successor of the Mu Family, but I rejected him. I recommended Mu En to Grandpa, but he didnât agree. I didnât think he was angry at that time. He made Mrs. Tian and the rest think that he left because he was angry. He probably did it on purpose for me to see. Now that Mother and the rest are moving in, donât coax Grandpa back for now. Let him be first.â
Bei Shuo widened her eyes in shock as she looked at Mu Ci. âWill this work? Wonât Grandpa become really angry? Heâs been getting on in years. Getting angry isnât good for his health!â
âIf Grandpa stays, heâll be really angry when he sees them messing around. My mother has never been a sensible person who will be anxious for others,â Mu Ci reminded her.
Bei Shuo was speechless. That was true.
âWhat about Grandpa?â Bei Shuo was worried.
Mu Ci said, âItâs okay. He has a family doctor by his side. Go and see him when youâre free. If he doesnât come back, he naturally wonât be angry. It wonât be too late to pick him up after we send these people downstairs away.â
It made sense. Bei Shuo nodded.
Now, they had to think of a way to deal with the people downstairs!
