"Daughter, that bastard doesn't deserve you like this!"
Seeing Mu Wenya's lifeless state, the old man immediately regretted letting that bastard go! He should have at least given him a good beating, beaten him half to death before he was done with it!
"Let's not talk about him anymore, Dad. Hasn't he paid the price for his mistakes? Look at him now, he'll probably have to live behind a mask all his life, hiding in the dark corners."
"He brought it on himself, he deserved it!"
The old man was furious and had already cursed the bastard's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
As they spoke, the two arrived at Mu Wenya's room.
The old man carefully made the bed before helping Mu Wenya down from the wheelchair. He slowly walked to the bedside and helped her lie down on the bed.
This scene inexplicably reminded him of the time when Mu Wenya was a child, and he taught her to walk step by step.
It was the same back then. His big hand held her soft little hand, patiently encouraging her again and again, and reaching out to support her whenever she almost fell.
Over the years, her little hands have grown bigger, and her big hands have slowly begun to show the marks of time. But his love for her has never changed.
"Dad, do you think I'm useless and unlikable? The man I love is unfaithful to me, and the people who love me are hurt by me time and time again."
Mu Wenya turned to the side, tilting her head back to look at the old man, just like she did when she was a child. It had been a long time since she had looked at the old man so closely, and she suddenly realized that the corners of his eyes and brows were etched with the merciless marks of time.
Upon hearing this, the old man refuted her words without hesitation.
"Nonsense! Like father, like daughter. How could my daughter be useless! Those people are blind and don't know how to cherish her! In your father's eyes, you have always been the most perfect and lovable baby in the world!"
"puff……"
These words finally made Mu Wenya laugh.
"Dad, are you praising me or yourself?"
"Buy one get one free, everyone praises it, everyone praises it. Go to sleep, Dad will watch you fall asleep before leaving."
"Yes, thank you, Dad."
Whether it was because she had let go of her long-standing resentment or because the old man was there to watch over her, Mu Wenya quickly and peacefully drifted off to sleep.
...
On the other side, after Mu Nanxun ordered the men in black to leave, he saw that Ouyang was still there, staring longingly in the direction Mu Wenya had left.
Aren't you leaving yet?
Mu Nanxun ruthlessly ordered him to leave.
Ouyang snapped out of his daze, patted Mu Nanxun on the shoulder with a grin, and gave him a thumbs up. "You're pretty good, kid. You even came up with such a shady trick! How was my acting? I successfully fooled that bastard Qin Lang."
"Mumu, you guys lied to me too. I really thought Uncle Mu was seriously injured, and that you were so heartbroken and guilty that you wouldn't eat or drink. I was so worried that I lost my appetite and lost weight. My face even looks thinner."
Yi snorted, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Mu Nanxun pinched her cheek, a smile curving his lips. "You seem to have lost a lot of weight. I just don't know if the parts we can't see have lost weight either."
"Cough cough cough... I'm standing right here, can't you be a little more civilized and stop making lewd jokes?!" Ouyang rolled his eyes in exasperation. He couldn't understand how so many people in the Mu family could tolerate their constant, oblivious displays of affection.
