Chapter 573 - 616: Stay Far Away From Her!
Chapter 573 - 616: Stay Far Away From Her!
Judging from the conversation between Mo Xuehong and the old man, this Mo Xuehong is definitely not a good person! If such a woman isn’t genuinely fond of Uncle and wants to return to his side, then she feels it’s necessary to tell Uncle the truth!She can’t let Uncle be kept in the dark, deceived and used by Mo Xuehong!
If Uncle didn’t care about Mo Xuehong, she wouldn’t say anything and would just keep it in her heart until it rots away!
But, based on Uncle’s behavior just now, he isn’t completely indifferent to this mother!
She fears that Uncle can’t resist Mo Xuehong’s sweet words and forgives her, allowing her scheme to succeed.
Uncle has been hurt so much over the past thirty-five years! She can’t bear to see him get hurt again!
After listening to Ye Anxin, Mu Beiting’s thin lips curled slightly into a sneer and he said, "Is that so? Did she really say that?"
"Yes! I also heard the old man say that she took a million yuan when she left and promised never to return! Yet, she’s back now, breaking her promise!" Afraid that Mu Beiting might not believe her and think she was sowing discord, Ye Anxin had no choice but to reveal the million yuan affair!
After all, this million yuan was a secret between them that outsiders didn’t know! Now that she knew, it was proof that she indeed overheard the conversation between the old man and Mo Xuehong.
Upon hearing Ye Anxin’s words, the arc of Mu Beiting’s smile widened, and the disdain in his eyes intensified.
Ye Anxin reached out and touched Mu Beiting’s hand that was holding the coffee cup, worriedly saying, "Uncle, are you feeling upset? If you’re upset, talk about it. Having someone to share the burden with will make you feel much better!"
"Upset? Why should I be upset?" Mu Beiting stared at Ye Anxin’s hand holding his, a trace of inexplicable light flickering in his eyes.
Ye Anxin anxiously called out, "Uncle...!"
Uncle likes to keep everything bottled up inside without expressing it! Clearly, he cares and is hurting inside, yet he won’t say it aloud!
If he continues like this, he’ll end up hurting himself!
Mu Beiting placed the coffee cup down, turned his hand to tightly clasp Ye Anxin’s, raised his head to look at her worried little face, and forced a smile, speaking warmly, "I’m fine, don’t worry! Things at the company are mostly settled, let’s go home!"
Ye Anxin asked, "Really nothing’s wrong?"
Mu Beiting stood up, his tall figure casting a shadow over Ye Anxin, and gently tapped her petite nose with his index finger, softly saying, "Silly girl! Let’s go home!" Without waiting for Ye Anxin’s response, he let go of her hand, walked to the coat rack, put on a suit jacket, picked up his briefcase, took Ye Anxin’s hand, and led her out of the office.
Since Mu Beiting refused to speak, Ye Anxin also kept silent, obediently following Mu Beiting, allowing him to hold her hand as they entered the elevator, down to the underground parking lot, and into the business car.
Once in the car, there was a deathly silence.
Mu Beiting didn’t speak, and Ye Anxin didn’t disturb him.
Just when Ye Anxin thought Mu Beiting wouldn’t say a word along the way, he suddenly reached out, pulled her into his embrace, and hoarsely spoke, "From now on, stay away from Mo Xuehong! Take a detour if you see her!"
"...?" Ye Anxin was initially stunned but then responded with a dumbfounded, "Why? Could she possibly harm me?"
Mu Beiting shook his head, meaningfully saying, "I don’t know! But, keep as far away from her as possible!"
Ye Anxin slightly furrowed her eyebrows, grumbling, "But I don’t even know what she looks like, how can I avoid her?"
"...!" Mu Beiting remained silent, his lips tightly pressed together. After a while, he finally said, "Don’t wander off in the future. Apart from home and my company, let me know wherever you’re going!"
"...!" Ye Anxin was silent for a moment, reluctantly nodding, "I understand! But, I don’t think this Mo Xuehong would harm me! I’ve never even met her, and there’s no conflict of interest. I don’t even count as her imagined enemy!"
She’s who she is, Uncle’s wife, while Mo Xuehong is Uncle’s mother!
They’ve never met, and there’s no conflict! She doesn’t think Uncle’s mother would harm her!
Mu Beiting rubbed her head gently, softly saying, "I didn’t say she’d harm you!"
Ye Anxin blinked, confused, asking, "Then why make me avoid her?"
Mu Beiting didn’t explain further, stubbornly saying, "Just don’t talk or meet with her!"
"Oh!" Although she didn’t understand why Uncle wanted her to avoid Mo Xuehong, Ye Anxin still obediently nodded in agreement!
She knew there must be a reason, whatever Uncle’s purpose, and since he wouldn’t say, she wouldn’t ask and would just listen!
"Mm!" Mu Beiting nodded in satisfaction, holding Ye Anxin tighter. His gaze inadvertently drifted to the car window, his eyes slightly narrowing, filled with a layer of complex and inexplicable emotion.
Today was the earliest day Mu Beiting returned home. When they got back, Xiao Bai hadn’t finished his class yet!
Seeing them return so early, the butler quickly came to greet them, taking Mu Beiting’s briefcase and setting it aside. As Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin sat on the sofa, the butler came over with a large cardboard box.
Ye Anxin curiously asked, "Butler, what are you holding?"
"Someone suddenly came today and brought a lot of toys, all for the young master! Since the young master is still in class, I didn’t dare disturb, so I left them in the living room!" Saying this, he placed the box on the coffee table in front of Ye Anxin.
Ye Anxin stood up, leaning in to look inside the box.
She saw the entire box full of toys, many and varied. There were Transformers, toy planes, and intelligence puzzles! With just a glance, Ye Anxin knew these toys weren’t cheap, requiring a considerable amount of money.
Ye Anxin took out a Transformer, playing with it while puzzledly asking, "Who sent them? Do you know that person?"
The butler shook his head, honestly saying, "I don’t know! I asked the person who brought the toys who bought them, and he said he didn’t know, just that he was paid to deliver them! Since I didn’t know who sent them, I didn’t dare accept them and wanted to return them! But the guy refused to take them back and left at the door, couldn’t even stop him! So, I had to temporarily bring them in and wait for you, sir, to decide!"
Mu Beiting coldly glanced at that large box of toys, expressionlessly saying, "Throw them all away!"
"...!" The butler and Ye Anxin were both stunned, looking at Mu Beiting in confusion!
Mu Beiting continued, "From now on, no matter who sends anything, throw it all away. Don’t bring it inside!"
