Xia Bingqing walked over timidly, forcing a smile, "Xun, Brother Xun... Guoguo is asleep, I, I'll carry her to her own room to sleep."

Mu Nanxun glared at her with disgust, coldly uttered a single word, "Get lost," and then carried Guoguo upstairs.

Xia Bingqing was left standing there, stunned and at a loss.

It seems that Brother Xun heard what she said, which is why he was so angry with her. How could she be so easily angered to say those things in front of that little brat?

Knowing full well that the little one was Mu Nanxun's darling, she figured that if she pleased the little one, gaining Mu Nanxun's approval would be much easier. Now, however, she had offended the little one, and no matter how hard she tried, Mu Nanxun would still despise her.

Just then, Mu Nanxun came downstairs, still with a cold face.

Xia Bingqing mustered her courage and stepped forward, wanting to defend herself. But before she could even open her mouth, she was frightened away by a cold look from Mu Nanxun.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear what you have to say."

"I'm sorry, Brother Xun, I... I didn't mean to. I just felt that Guoguo would find out sooner or later that Yi Yi was dead, so I thought it was better to let her accept it sooner..."

"I told you to shut up." Mu Nanxun suppressed his anger, clenching his fists as if he would punch her if she uttered another word. "If I hear you say anything like that again, you're out of the Mu family!"

Xia Bingqing: "..."

To my utter surprise, he actually wanted to kick her out because of this!

"boss……"

Xiao Fang suddenly rushed in from outside. Because she ran so fast, her breathing was uneven.

Mu Nanxun glanced at him and asked calmly, "What is it?"

"Boss, Aunt Zhang is awake!"

"Bang—" At the same time, the tableware beside Xia Bingqing was knocked to the ground and shattered by her elbow. A flash of panic crossed her face as she squatted down to pick up the broken pieces of tableware, accidentally pricking her finger in the process.

Mu Nanxun and Xiao Fang both looked at her suspiciously.

"Miss Xia, what... what's wrong?"

"Ah..." Xia Bingqing trembled, her voice filled with obvious guilt and panic. "No, nothing... I'm perfectly fine, I'm perfectly fine. Xiao Fang, you said Aunt Zhang is awake?"

Three years ago, Zhang Ma accidentally discovered that she was the culprit who caused Yi Yi's death in the fire. Fearing that Zhang Ma would tell others, she decided to go all the way and pushed her off the building.

Zhang Ma fainted on the spot and was later taken to the hospital, where she became a vegetable. The doctor said that the chances of Zhang Ma waking up again were very small unless a miracle occurred. Therefore, Xia Bingqing gradually relaxed and assumed that Zhang Ma was already dead.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Ma woke up!

If Zhang Ma wakes up, wouldn't everything she's done be exposed? Mu Nanxun will throw her into hell!

Xia Bingqing's behavior was somewhat unusual. Mu Nanxun gave her a deep look, taking in her flustered expression. Then he gestured for Xiao Fang to continue.

Xiao Fang nodded and continued, "Yes, Miss Xia. This morning, I went to the hospital to visit Zhang Ma as usual and paid next month's hospital and medical fees. Who knew that when I got to the ward and called out to Zhang Ma, her fingers actually moved. At first, I was worried that I was seeing things, so I called out a few more times, and Zhang Ma's hand was indeed moving. I called the doctor over, and after the doctor examined Zhang Ma, she was fully awake."
