Chapter 227 - Ultimatum

The colors drained from Mu Qing’s face. He looked as though someone had slapped him twice.

Mu Chen rose to his feet and said, “Are you going to say you chose to leave the Mu family with that woman due to your guilt toward my mother and to soothe that woman’s injured heart?”

Mu Qing remained silent.

Mu Chen sneered. He looked at his father contemptuously and said, “For so many years, everyone thought those were the reasons you gave up the Mu Group and left the Mu family. At the same time, I bore the crime of being so vicious to the point that I wouldn’t even let my biological father off. People thought you were loyal and romantic, giving up a fortune for love. I guess apart from you and Grandma, I’m the only person who knows what you left behind was the loss of 500 million from the company funds, right?”

Mu Qing widened his eyes in shock.

Mu Chen said derisively, “Like I said, as long as I’m around, don’t even think about returning to the Mu family. I think Grandma already knew you’re the mastermind behind the leak, but she just couldn’t bear to say it out loud. You must know this so you thought you had nothing to fear, right?”

“Alas, you didn’t know I’ve been keeping an eye on you since the day you returned. I know all the little tricks you played behind my back. You should thank God that your woman is brainless. If she had hurt Song Ning, both of you would not have an easy life. You really don’t deserve my mother at all. I hope you and that woman will torment each other for the rest of your lives. This can be considered your punishment and retribution.”

“Whether it’s the misappropriation of company funds in the past or the leak now, they’ve become evidence in my hands. To be honest, the only reason I haven’t exposed you is Grandma. I don’t want her to watch us father and son killing each other. She’s your only protection. From now on, you better pray Grandma lives a long and healthy life and keep a leash on your woman. Don’t even think of touching Grandma and my wife. If anything happens to them, I’ll let you have a taste of what I’m capable of. I don’t care if you want to commit crimes outside; you can do whatever you want. However, you can give up on returning to the Mu family.”

Mu Qing’s eyes were still widened in shock as he watched Mu Chen sneer and walk away.

When Mu Chen placed his hand on the door handle, he added coldly, “By the way, your heart is very healthy. Act better next time…”

Following that, Mu Chen left.

Mu Qing’s heaved up and down. He threw a pillow at the door and roared, “Unfilial son! Beast! Are you trying to anger me to death?”

Alas, Mu Chen had already left, unable to hear his words.

Mu Qing was so furious that his body began to tremble. Fortunately, there was no problem with his heart. Otherwise, he would have gotten a heart attack and died because of his unfilial son.

How was Mu Chen his son? Clearly, Mu Chen was acting like his ancestor. Mu Chen had decisively blocked all his paths. This was Liang Zhen’s revenge, pitting their son against him!

Mu Qing wished he could rip the bedsheet under him to pieces to extinguish the fire in his heart.

…

After Song Ning carefully placed Jiang Jin’s hand under the blanket, she took the seat next to the bed and said angrily, “Grandma, how can you do this? You promised you’d take care of your health. You said you’d help me look after my child and support me in my career. Is this what you consider supporting me? You even got hospitalized and have to stay here for a while. Did you treat me as a child and lie to me?”

Jiang Jin leaned slightly to the side and reached out from under the blanket. Her hand trembled as she reached out for Song Ning’s smooth and tender cheek. “I’ve made you worry, my child…”

Song Ning hurriedly held Jiang Jin’s hand against her cheek and said coquettishly, “Grandma, you’re really disobedient, but I can’t bear to stay angry with such a cute and lovable grandmother. What should I do?”
