Chapter 546

Tian Tian said with some sadness, "When he was little, Brother Mu wasn't like this."

Although Zongmu was aloof and seemed difficult to get along with when he was young, he was actually warm-hearted despite his cold exterior, and was the kind of child that all parents talked about.

Wan Dapeng remained silent, wanting to say, "It's all the fault of his selfish and insane parents," but those two had been dead for so many years.

He gave a sarcastic smirk. The dead are free, but the living suffer on.

Wan Dapeng rubbed his face and looked at Zong Mu, who was carrying the girl on his back. Zong Mu was full of gentleness, and there was no longer any world-weary indifference or impatience in his eyes. He was no longer like a taut string that was about to snap.

He was very grateful for Wen Xin's appearance, and even more grateful that she was not afraid to stay away from him because of Mu Ge's initially coy and domineering personality, but instead genuinely tolerated him.

But Wan Dapeng didn't know that they had endured two lifetimes of suffering to achieve what they had today.

...

"Young Master Mu?"

Zong Zhiguo stared in shock at Zong Mu, who was carrying someone up to the mountaintop pavilion, his face filled with disbelief.

Zong Mu glanced at him indifferently, ignored him, gently put the girl down from his back, took out a tissue to wipe the stone bench for her, and then took out a handkerchief from his backpack to put on it before letting her sit down.

Wen Xin blushed slightly and whispered, "Actually, there's no need to be so particular."

Zong Mu didn't listen. With her frail little body, how could he dare to be disrespectful?

He made her feel wronged, but wasn't he the one who felt sorry for her?

Zong Mu took out a thermos, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to her so she could drink some warm water.

Watching Zong Mu skillfully serve people throughout the entire process, Zong Zhiguo's jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

Is this really the arrogant and lawless heir of the main family in the capital?

He still remembered when Zong Mu first came to Qing City. He had only been a little more attentive and served him food with serving chopsticks, but the capricious young master had immediately turned on him with disgust, flipped the table, and left.

Zong Zhiguo even wondered if he was dreaming.

After taking excellent care of his little rabbit, Zong Mu finally had time to talk to Zong Zhiguo, casually asking, "What are you doing here?"

Zong Zhiguo dared not assume that Zong Mu had "turned over a new leaf" just because of Zong Mu's good attitude towards Wen Xin, and replied respectfully and carefully: "I was thinking of relaxing this weekend and came to go hiking."

Zong Mu raised an eyebrow and pointed to Cui Wenlin, who was almost invisible to the side, and asked, "Is he someone you know?"

It was only then that Wen Xin noticed Cui Wenlin, her eyes flashing slightly.

Tsk, what a miscalculation. If she had known that the lousy male lead and his rich father were here, she should have notified that crazy original wife. When there's a commotion, everyone should join in.

It's a pity, it's too late to call for help now.

Zong Zhiguo glanced at Cui Wenlin, unaware that his past had already been exposed, and said with a smile, "A little classmate I just met on the mountain road."

Cui Wenlin's expression changed when he heard that his father didn't dare to acknowledge his existence at all.

But no matter how much he hated it, he didn't have the guts to cause trouble.

He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if his father found out that he had fallen out with Zong Mu.

Damn it, why are Zong Mu and Wen Xin here?

Cui Wenlin panicked at this point and just wanted to run away as quickly as possible.

It's highly unlikely that Zongmu will let him have his way.

He said meaningfully, "Really? I thought he was someone to you."

Zong Zhiguo's heart skipped a beat. "Young Master Mu is joking."

Zong Mu curled his thin lips slightly, crossed his arms and leaned against the stone table, arrogantly saying, "That's right, I doubt you'd dare to befriend someone who opposes me at school every day."

"What?"

Zong Zhiguo was dumbfounded.

Does Cui Wenlin antagonize Mu Shao at school every day?

Is there something wrong with his ears, or has his adopted son gone mad?

Because he was tricked by Cui Zhi, Zong Zhiguo had neither the energy nor the courage to pay much attention to his son, and thus was unaware that Cui Wenlin was so "powerful" that he had a major falling out with Zong Mu at school.

If he knew...

At this moment, Zong Zhiguo felt like killing his stupid son.

Cui Wenlin's face turned deathly pale, and he almost couldn't stand up.

He glared at Zongmu with resentment.

Even after all he's done, why won't Zongmu let him go?

Zong Zhiguo was sweating profusely and dared not recognize Cui Wenlin. He didn't even dare to ask, "Is there some misunderstanding?"

What nonsense are you talking about?

Is Zongmu the kind of person who is reasonable and doesn't hold grudges?

Zong Zhiguo just wants to sever ties with Cui Wenlin right now.

I'll just send this cheapskate son to Africa when I get back.

We absolutely cannot let him appear in front of Young Master Mu again.

Zong Zhiguo's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. For his own benefit, abandoning a son was nothing.

He gave Cui Wenlin a warning glare, telling him to get lost. He was a good-for-nothing, just like his mother, only good for causing trouble.

He had repeatedly told him to make sure he pleased Zong Mu.

But what did this idiot do?

Didn't Cui Wenlin try to curry favor with Zong Mu?

He used every means to get close to Zongmu when he was in his first year of high school.

But Zong Mu could see that he was not suspicious, so how could he be so good-natured as to let him take advantage of him?

After being repeatedly thwarted, Cui Wenlin, filled with resentment and discontent, began to see Zong Mu as a thorn in his side. He secretly watched him every day, hoping to find his weakness and trample this prodigy underfoot.

In fact, Cui Wenlin's mind had already begun to twist when he saw his high and mighty father fawning over Zong Mu.

How enviable is a spoiled young master who can get whatever he wants?

Why does he have such a good background?

Wen Xin glanced at Zong Zhiguo, who was fawning over Zong Mu, and then at Cui Wenlin, who was filled with resentment and unwillingness. Suddenly, she understood something.

In her past life, did Cui Wenlin see that Zong Mu had a special feeling for her, so he deliberately approached her in order to make Zong Mu unable to have her and break the pride of this proud son of heaven?

She was, from beginning to end, a pawn in Cui Wenlin's scheme against Zong Mu, a tool to satisfy his dark and despicable desire for victory.

Wen Xin pursed her lips, her face looking rather unpleasant, clearly disgusted.

The reason that ruined her and Zongmu's lives was so ridiculous.

hehe!

With a male protagonist like this, it would be unreasonable if this small world in the previous life hadn't been destroyed.

Zong Mu noticed Wen Xin's change in mood immediately. He ignored Zong Zhiguo and Cui Wenlin and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Wen Xin shook her head. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Zong Mu reached out and touched her forehead. It was a little cold. Was the wind too strong on the mountaintop?

He took a long-sleeved shirt out of his backpack and helped her put it on.

"Shall we go down the mountain and go home?"

"Young Master Mu, it really is you."

Before Wen Xin could speak, a somewhat shrill female voice came from outside the pavilion. She stiffened reflexively, and a surge of hatred and anger welled up in her heart.
