Ji Zhinan was quite calm. He remained composed and expressionless even after being stared at for so long.

Hearing the old man's question, Mu Zeyu gritted his teeth and said word by word: "That's right, it was Ji Zhinan who kidnapped me and intended to burn me to death!"

"Why would my granddaughter want to burn you to death?"

"..." This question confused Mu Zeyu.

Ji Zhinan had no grudge against him, nor did he hate him so much that he had to kill him to vent his hatred.

Ji Zhinan looked at him calmly and said, "May I ask what wicked and disgusting thing did Master Mu do to make you think that I hate you so much that I want to kill you to vent my anger?"

"I..." Mu Zeyu choked.

How did he know! Mu Zeyu’s mind was in a mess.

"Wait... I figured it out, because the person I love is not you, but Xia Xia!"

Finally finding a very convincing reason, Mu Zeyu looked at Ji Zhinan with a sneer.

"You love me to the point of being unable to extricate yourself, but there's only Xia Xia in my heart, so you hate Xia Xia because you think you can only replace her if Xia Xia dies. As for your feelings towards me... naturally, it's love turning into hate. That's right, that's it!"

"Tsk——" Ji Zhinan couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Mu Zeyu was confused. What he said was clearly the truth, so why was Ji Zhinan laughing?

"Master Mu, narcissism is a disease. I happen to be in the hospital, so I'd better go get treatment later."

Wu Yan'e felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and glared at Ji Zhinan fiercely: "Ji Zhinan, what do you mean!"

"It doesn't make any sense." Ji Zhinan shrugged. "What Master Mu said is completely irrelevant. Grandpa and I really don't understand what Master Mu wants to express."

"What's so irrelevant?" She didn't understand what was wrong with what her son said.

Ji Zhinan raised the corner of his lips and extended his index finger: "First of all, Master Mu said that I was jealous of Ji Zhixia, so I wanted to kill her and take her place as Madam Mu. If that was true, why did Master Mu get hurt along with Ji Zhixia?"

Then he extended his middle finger again: "Secondly, Master Mu said that my love for him turned into hatred. That's strange. Didn't I just want to replace Ji Zhixia? How did it become love turning into hatred? Isn't it completely irrelevant?"

Ji Zhinan analyzed Mu Zeyu's words thoroughly, and everyone recalled them again.

It seems...what you said makes sense, but it does make sense.

Old Master Ji continued, following Ji Zhinan's words, "Young Master Mu probably doesn't know this yet, but when you and Xia Xia first got into trouble, the two companies went through a turmoil, and to stabilize the situation, the two families decided to form a marriage. Our Ji family originally wanted Nan Nan to be engaged to you, but my granddaughter Nan Nan refused without a word, saying that she and Young Master Mu were at most childhood playmates, not even friends, let alone any feelings, so she didn't want to waste her youth and happiness on him. Later, we learned that Xia Xia and Young Master Mu were in love, so we arranged your engagement."

Mr. Ji said it very directly.

It was obvious that Ji Zhinan disliked Mu Zeyu very much. If she really liked him, she would not have refused so resolutely when discussing the marriage.

But Ji Zhinan refused without saying a word. This shows that Mu Zeyu was lying and Ji Zhinan had no interest in him at all.

“…”

Mu Zeyu originally thought that he was completely right, but after just a few words, he couldn't find any words to refute.
