Mu En hurriedly said, "Grandpa, Grandpa, my mom meant that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall she gave my brother must be fine. My mom couldn't possibly harm my brother. Grandpa, is there some misunderstanding? Can my sister-in-law really cure illnesses?"
His voice was noticeably softer when he said the last sentence, carrying with it a question that he dared not say but had to say.
Mu Ci couldn't stand for too long, so Liu Ming pushed the wheelchair over and Mu Ci slowly sat down: "You saw it with your own eyes, I can stand and walk a few steps. It was Zhou Shuo who cured me. Mu En, my bottom line is Zhou Shuo. No need to test me, I'll tell you directly!"
Mu En choked.
Mu Ci looked at his brother, his heart turning cold.
His feelings towards Mu En are very complicated. He is jealous of him. He has seen his parents pamper him and ignore him since he was a child. What child would not be jealous, right?
But, as an older brother, he would not leave out anything he could do for him.
It’s a pity that what you get in return for your sincerity may not be sincerity itself.
Even if Mu En was really controlled by drugs, he had no way of forgiving him for his behavior last night.
Zhou Shuo is his last bottom line.
Mu Ci looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen avoided his grandson's gaze and said in a deep voice, "Get up."
Duan Si didn't care about anything and went to help his son, "Hurry up and get up, grandpa asked you to get up!"
Mu En didn't insist this time and stood up obediently. He had been kneeling for too long and his feet were numb. His feet went weak and he almost fell again, which made Duan Si feel distressed again.
Mu Chen looked at the mother and son, then at Mu Ci who was alone, and made up his mind.
"Mu En, do you know? Your brother begged me a few days ago to announce you as the heir of the Mu family." Mu Chen looked at Mu En.
Mu En's body couldn't help but tremble.
Duan Si looked surprised.
"Your brother is devoted to you. To prevent you from being criticized, he even decided to take Zhou Shuo away from the Mu family and devote all his energy to your success. You know very well how your parents have treated him over the years, but he still treats you this way. I am very touched. Originally, I had decided to agree to him because I felt that you were capable of taking on such a great responsibility, but I didn't expect—Alas! Mu En, there are gods above your heads. What you are thinking in your hearts, only you know, but the Mu family is not just our family. I have to be responsible for the entire family."
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Mu Ci and said, "Mu Ci, Grandpa cannot agree to your request. Your condition is improving now, and Grandpa has seen hope again. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the rules of the Mu family cannot be changed!"
This time, even Mu Ci was surprised.
Grandpa didn't do as they agreed and still insisted on his own opinion.
Mu Chen sighed heavily, supported his forehead with his hand, and his face was full of fatigue.
Mu Ci didn't say anything in the end. His grandfather had given so much for him, and he couldn't make him sad anymore. He could only persuade him slowly.
Duan Si was anxious. She rushed to Mu Chen and said, "Dad, Dad! Don't be angry with Mu En. He didn't mean it. He definitely didn't mean it. He just drank too much. This is not just his problem. That little bitch——"
Mu Chen suddenly looked up at Duan Si.
Duan Si quickly changed his tone, "If Zhou Shuo hadn't come out in the middle of the night, wouldn't this have happened?"
Mu Chen said coldly: "In your case, the responsibility is always someone else's?"
"No, no, Dad, Mu En was wrong in this matter, and he already knows he was wrong. He knelt outside the gate in the rain yesterday and had a high fever all night. He came to admit his mistake early this morning. He really knows he was wrong. Please forgive him, forgive him." Duan Si begged bitterly.
Before coming, Mu En refused to say what happened. She was a little nervous, but when she heard that she had bumped into Zhou Shuo, she immediately didn't take it seriously. It was no big deal. Maybe that wild girl seduced Mu En on purpose because she thought she was good-looking.
Before she could induce the old man in that direction, the old man and Mu Ci worked together to take back the position of heir that Mu En was about to get?
How is this possible? Absolutely not!
Mu Chen looked at his stubborn eldest daughter-in-law, his disappointment evident in his words. "What about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? How do you explain it?"
Duan Si lost his voice as if his throat was strangled, his face flushed red: "I, Dad, I——"
Mu En knelt forward and kowtowed to Mu Chen: "Grandpa! Mom would never have poisoned my brother. You must investigate thoroughly! Grandpa, I was wrong about what happened last night. You and my brother can punish me however you want. I just beg you and my brother not to be angry and not abandon me."
As Mu En spoke, tears fell from his eyes, and he turned to Mu Ci again.
"Brother, I was wrong. I got drunk and lost my temper, and I offended my sister-in-law. You can hit me or scold me, but don't abandon me. Please punish me severely. I really know I was wrong. Brother, no matter whether your leg is good or not, you are the heir of the Mu family! There is nothing more gratifying than your leg getting better! Brother, I will listen to you from now on, be a good person, and do things well. Please forgive me this time!"
Mu En was in tears, and every word he said was sincere from the bottom of his heart.
Duan Si finally came to his senses and burst into tears. "How could I harm my son? How could I be such a black-hearted person? Dad, I'm innocent! I'm innocent! I've been married to the Mu family for over 20 years, and we've been living apart for so many years. I only have two sons. How could I harm him? How could I?"
Mu En hurriedly coaxed her, "Mom, okay, don't cry, Grandpa and brother won't blame you, don't cry anymore, let's talk about my story first, Grandpa and brother haven't forgiven me yet!"
Duan Si's crying stopped abruptly, and he looked at Mu Chen and Mu Ci, grandfather and grandson, with tears in his eyes.
Mu Chen looked at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci slowly stretched out his hand and pulled Mu En up.
Mu En was flattered and grabbed Mu Ci's hand. "Brother, you don't blame me anymore, right? I will change, I will change everything! I will definitely change! I will be very obedient!"
Mu Ci looked at him and said solemnly, "As the son of the eldest branch of the Mu family, our responsibilities are different from those of other brothers. I am physically limited, so you must be aware of the situation you may face in the future. Mu En, my bottom line is Zhou Shuo."
"Yes, brother, I was wrong. I will apologize to my sister-in-law, brother." Mu En immediately expressed his attitude.
Zhou Shuo, standing in the corner of the stairs, sighed softly, turned back to his room, picked up his backpack, and went out the back stairs.
She heard the whole farce of the Mu family and couldn't help but sigh that she was lucky. Although she was also disliked by her relatives, at least she escaped from the sea of suffering in a very short time. Mu Ci was not so lucky. How cold must his heart be over the years.
Zhou Shuo hopes that one day she can lead him out of the sea of suffering, and she will definitely become stronger!
...
Zhou Le was sitting in the corner of the dressing room waiting to be put on makeup. Although she was a daughter of a wealthy family, she was a nobody in the entertainment industry and could not show up on the stage.
She attended a second-rate art school and wanted to be a star so that her beauty could be seen by more people and increase her chances of marrying into a wealthy family. After all, there is no place easier to succeed than in the entertainment industry.
