Mu Chen shook his head. “Whether I believe him or not depends on his performance.”

Bei Shuo was speechless. Both the old and the young had the same temper. Neither of them was willing to take a step back. It wasn’t good for them to be in a deadlock like this.

“Grandpa, don’t you value the Mu Family’s reputation the most? If Madam continues to cause trouble, Brother Mu Ci won’t be able to explain himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River. Can you not be angry with Brother anymore?” Bei Shuo tugged at the corner of Mu Chen’s shirt.

Mu Chen looked at the clear-eyed girl in front of him. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. This child was really God’s compensation and gift to Mu Ci. With her, he was much more at ease.

However, he said, “Am 1 the one who has to sulk? Shouldn’t you persuade your rock-like husband? I’m his grandfather! Shouldn’t he be filial to me? What does one mean by filial? Obedience is filial!”

Bei Shuo didn’t know what to say. Mu Ci had his own plans and she couldn’t figure them out. As long as Mu Ci wanted to do something, she would fully support him.

She rolled her eyes. “Grandpa, I don’t know anything about his work! But 1 know that Brother has always been right and everything he does is right, so I’ll just listen to him. Look, think about it the other way. If Brother doesn’t listen to you, then just listen to him. This way, he won’t have to make things difficult for you and you won’t have to be angry. Isn’t everything fine?”

Mu Chen’s eyes widened as he pondered over Bei Shuo’s words. He reached out and smacked Bei Shuo on the head. “Bad girl! You’re scheming against Grandpa too? Did he teach you that?”

Bei Shuo rubbed her head with an aggrieved expression. “How can that be? Do I have to teach you such simple logic? How can I not think of it myself?”

Mu Chen was so angry that he laughed uncontrollably.

The more he laughed, the more he found it funny. He could not stop laughing. It had been a long time since he laughed so happily. The little girl in front of him looked at him in embarrassment.

He finally stopped laughing and reached out to touch her head. He said earnestly, “In the future, educate your child to be someone like you who can bring joy to others.”

Bei Shuo felt that this topic had changed a little too quickly. She couldn’t keep up.

Mu Chen slowly got up from the rocking chair. Bei Shuo hurriedly stood up to support him.

“Help me to the bed and lie down,” Mu Chen said.

Huh? Bei Shuo was confused.

Mu Chen glared at her. “Your husband is allowed to use the wheelchair as a prop, but I’m not allowed to play the role of an old man on the verge of death?” “Why?” Bei Shuo didn’t understand. She had already seen it. Why was Grandpa still pretending to be seriously ill in front of Mu Ci?

Mu Chen glanced at the surveillance cameras on the table. Bei Shuo understood and hurriedly supported Mu Chen. The old man walked to the bed and lay down.

“Roll it high. Roll the head of the bed high!” Mu Chen ordered her.

Bei Shuo hurriedly did as she was told. She lamented in her heart that the two of them were really good at acting!

It wasn’t just the two of them. Song Nan and Madam were also very good at acting. Everyone was acting. She really admired them!

“Dad! Dad! You have to stand up for us!” Duan Si’s cries and Old Jiang’s low and indistinct voice came from outside the door. He should be stopping Duan Si from barging in.

“Why? Are you here to complain? Don’t you admit that you’ve let Song Nan down? Song Nan is pregnant now, but you don’t want to take responsibility for her? Do you want to be an irresponsible man like your father? Why do you have to learn from him?” Duan Si’s voice was very sharp. They knew that she was talking about Mu Ci.

Bei Shuo was displeased and glanced at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen sighed. “Your mother-in-law is already used to mistreating Mu Ci.”

“Why? Isn’t Brother her biological son? Why does she always want to hurt him?” Bei Shuo expressed her dissatisfaction directly.

Mu Chen was a little helpless. “She blamed Mu Ci for the misfortune of her marriage. She found an outlet for herself to vent. She’s so unscrupulous because he’s her biological son.”

Bei Shuo shook her head. “I don’t understand this logic.”

Mu Chen smiled. “It’s fine if you don’t understand. She’s also a pitiful person. You might understand her in the future. If you don’t, tolerate her because she’s Mu Ci’s biological mother. Don’t argue with her.

Bei Shuo didn’t comment.. It didn’t matter to her if she didn’t hurt Mu Ci, but she couldn’t hurt Mu Ci!
