Chapter 231 He just wants me by his side
Yan Ye and Yue Yirou were well aware of why Mu Xuan was acting this way, but out of consideration for not wanting to cause Old Master Mu heartache and disappointment, they did not intend to tell him the reason.
Mu Xuan stammered for a while before making up an excuse that she hadn't slept well the night before.
Then, changing the subject, he said to Yue Yirou, "Yirou, you haven't seen my sister's baby yet. Let me take you upstairs to see him. The little guy is so cute."
Yue Yirou glanced at Yan Ye, who nodded slightly: "Go."
"Okay, I'll go with you to see the baby."
Yue Yirou stood up from the sofa and followed Mu Xuan up the stairs.
Yan Ye only looked away after her figure disappeared at the top of the stairs.
Seeing this, Grandpa Mu couldn't help but sigh, "You're just as devoted as your father! When your parents were alive, they were a model couple, it's just a pity they... sigh!"
Perhaps thinking of Yan Ye's parents, Old Master Mu felt a little sentimental.
“Your father was a grateful man. When he first entered the business world, I only gave him a few pointers, but he always remembered them. He would call to greet me during holidays and fly back to see me when he had time. Over the years, I have actually regarded him as my son. I never expected that he and your mother would pass away before this old man. Alas! Life is unpredictable, and we must learn to cherish what we have.”
"I understand, Grandpa Mu, don't worry. I will cherish the people around me. As for my parents, Grandpa Mu, please don't be too sad or upset. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."
Grandpa Mu sighed and nodded: "I hope that Jiajian and Qianya, if they are watching over you from heaven, will bless you with a lifetime of happiness and health! May they bless you and Yirou with having a son soon, and may you be a loving couple!"
After Yue Yirou followed Mu Xuan upstairs, Mu Xuan did not take her to Mu Wen's room to see the baby, but instead took her to her own room.
Yue Yirou knew Mu Xuan's purpose, so she didn't question her. She just turned around, looked at her quietly, and waited for her to speak.
After the door closed, Mu Xuan bit her lip and stood there for a while before looking up at Yue Yirou: "That day, you saw me come out of your room, right?"
"Yes, I saw it." Yue Yirou nodded.
Mu Xuan's face turned pale instantly, and she staggered back, leaning against the back of the door.
"What about Ye? Did you tell him?"
Does Ye know that she did such a thing?
Does that mean she became a wicked woman in his heart?
After exchanging glances for a while, Yue Yirou said calmly, "What kind of woman you are, Ye won't care."
"Heh." Mu Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly.
That's right. He doesn't love her. She doesn't have a place in his heart at all. He doesn't care what kind of person she is.
She couldn't compare to Yue Yirou. At least, in Yan Ye's heart, in this lifetime, Mu Xuan could never surpass Yue Yirou.
Mu Xuan closed her eyes in despair, leaned her head against the back of the door, and tilted it slightly upward.
Is there absolutely no hope for her?
After a long while, she opened her eyes, her eyes pleading: "Could you please not tell my grandfather about this?"
"Ye and I never intended to tell Master Mu about this. You can rest assured about that. However, I hope you can clearly reject Acheng and not give him any hope."
"Thank you! I'll call Acheng."
After a long silence, Mu Xuan moved to the side and opened the door.
Yue Yirou pursed her lips, sighed inwardly, and walked out.
She knew that no matter whether Mu Xuan could let go of her feelings for Yan Ye, she would still harbor some resentment towards her. After all, in a sense, it was Yan Ye who had stolen the love in her heart.
She was too naive and foolish before, thinking they could become good friends.
I really can't be so naive and foolish anymore.
After she walked out, Mu Xuan also stepped out.
Mu Xuan suddenly spoke up: "Do you think Ye will believe what you say?"
Yue Yirou stopped and turned around to look at her with some confusion.
"You say you weren't defiled by Lu Tingyun, do you think anyone will believe you?"
Yue Yirou instantly realized that she had overheard her argument with Yan Ye that night, and perhaps not only her, but also Acheng and Zhou Xinyu, and even the other servants and bodyguards.
"Whether others believe me or not is none of my concern, as long as Ye believes in me."
"Ye won't believe it. Lu Tingyun and Ye have an irreconcilable hatred. His father was forced to jump into the sea by Uncle Yan. Lu Tingyun kidnapped you just to play with you and make Ye suffer. You say Lu Tingyun didn't touch you? Do you think Ye will believe that?"
Yue Yirou's expression changed slightly. She only knew that Lu Tingyun and Yan Ye had a grudge, but she didn't know what the grudge was.
Now, after hearing Mu Xuan's account, I realize it was a deep-seated blood feud.
Given such hatred, it's indeed hard to believe that Lu Tingyun never touched her.
But Yan Ye said he believed her, so was he lying to her?
Mu Xuan continued, "Yue Yirou, although you have won Ye's love, you are still a pitiful wretch, and especially pathetic. If I were you, I would have no face to stay by Ye's side and let others laugh at him."
After staring at the floor for a while, Yue Yirou looked up at Mu Xuan and said in a cold tone, "Ye doesn't care about what others think. What he wants is for me to be by his side."
"You..." Mu Xuan clenched her fists involuntarily in anger.
Yue Yirou didn't look at Mu Xuan again, and turned to continue walking downstairs.
Mu Xuan clenched her fist and glared fiercely at Yue Yirou for a while before quickly following after her.
Neither of them said another word.
Although Mu Xuan didn't take her to see Mu Wen's baby, when they went downstairs and saw Grandpa Mu, Yue Yirou still praised the baby, saying that the baby was very cute.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Mu smiled happily.
Because they had to return to Xingye Pavilion, Yan Ye bid farewell to Old Master Mu not long after Yue Yirou came downstairs.
After leaving the Mu family's residence, the group went directly to the airport to catch a flight back home.
After Yan Ye and the others left for the Mu family, A-Cheng secretly took Zhang Qi'er to the airport and was already waiting on the plane.
It would take at least five or six hours to get back to S City by cruise ship, but only about an hour by plane. Therefore, Yan Ye chartered a plane.
Black Wind is currently unaware that Zhang Qier has fallen into Yan Ye's hands.
Because of Zhang Qier's style, once she completes a task, she won't take on a new one for a week. During that week, no one cares where she goes or what place she is.
As soon as the plane took off, Yan Ye and Yue Yirou, who were sitting close together and whispering to each other, suddenly heard a string of curses coming from behind them.
"Get away from me, don't touch me. You filthy man, I'm warning you, if you dare touch me again, you'll be sorry once I'm healed."
Yan Ye and Yue Yirou turned around and saw Zhang Qier, who was tied to a chair, cursing at Acheng.
