Chen Wanglin moved the phone further away, "Miss, I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do..."
Mu Xiaoxiao directly hung up the phone.
Just at that moment, Mu Xiaodong came out of the bedroom and, seeing Mu Xiaoxiao like this, asked in confusion, "My miss, who has upset you again?"
Mu Xiaoxiao gave Mu Xiaodong a glance, "Let’s talk in the study."
Mu Xiaodong followed Mu Xiaoxiao into the study.
Inside the study, Mu Xiaodong poured a cup of tea for Mu Xiaoxiao, "Getting angry is bad for your health, take a sip of tea to cool down."
Mu Xiaoxiao took the tea and set it directly on the table, "Brother, do you know where Dad is right now?"
"Isn’t Dad on a business trip in City C?" Mu Xiaodong said.
"City C?" Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao let out a cold snort, "You actually believe he’s in City C?"
Mu Xiaodong frowned slightly, "If Dad isn’t in City C, where is he?"
Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "Right now, he’s gallivanting around Hangjiang City with some woman or other!"
Hangjiang City?
Mu Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, "Dad went to Hangjiang City?"
"Exactly," Mu Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Can you believe Dad, getting involved with a woman of dubious background like that!"
"Miss, Dad’s affairs have nothing to do with us, and we can’t control them. You should just worry less," Mu Xiaodong stood up and patted Mu Xiaoxiao on the shoulder.
"Brother!" Mu Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected Mu Xiaodong to react like this, "That’s our dad! How can you be so indifferent?"
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help raising her voice, "I’m not being indifferent, I’m concerned about Dad! What if Dad gets deceived by one of those women with bad intentions?"
Mu Xiaodong didn’t seem to have any sense of being a filial child.
Soon Mu Baicheng would be swindled and left bankrupt, yet her brother still looked utterly unconcerned.
Does Mu Xiaodong even acknowledge Mu Baicheng as his father?
Mu Xiaodong looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and continued, "Dad is not a three-year-old child. He’s capable of discerning right from wrong, so please don’t impose your thoughts on him."
His sister had always been very domineering since she was young. If things didn’t go her way, she would throw a tantrum, and now she was even reaching out to meddle with Mu Baicheng.
Mu Xiaodong felt helpless.
Considering this, Mu Xiaodong added, "Xiaoxiao, do you realize how frightening your behavior is right now? You don’t even know who the lady with Dad is, yet you’re already slandering her! It looks like you don’t want Dad to find a partner at all. Such behavior is really selfish!"
By the end, Mu Xiaodong’s voice had risen with anger.
"I’m selfish?" Mu Xiaoxiao pointed at herself, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Brother! You actually call me selfish, If I were selfish, I wouldn’t be trying to set Dad up with Third Miss Zheng of the Zheng Family. Isn’t all this for Dad’s sake? If just any woman could marry Dad, what would become of him? Besides, our Mu Family is not just any ordinary family."
Was it really her who was selfish, or was it Mu Xiaodong?
If Mu Xiaodong were truly a good son, he wouldn’t be making such irresponsible statements.
He seemed to be considering Mu Baicheng’s feelings, but he didn’t actually treat Mu Baicheng like a father.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so unconcerned about the kind of woman his father was involved with.
Mu Xiaodong just looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with an indecipherable expression in his eyes. After a moment, he continued, "Xiaoxiao, you’re an adult! Adults have to be responsible for their actions. Can you stop being so impulsive? Dad’s almost fifty; are you saying he’s worse at judgment than you, a young girl?"
With that, Mu Xiaodong tried to calm himself down, "I don’t want to argue with you today. Cool down and think about what I’ve said to you." frёewebnoѵēl.com
With those words, Mu Xiaodong turned and left the study.
Watching Mu Xiaodong’s retreating figure, Mu Xiaoxiao felt an urge to grab the teacup on the table and hurl it at him.
In other families, siblings could work together in harmony.
But what about her own family?
Mu Xiaodong didn’t support her, and worse still, he seemed to be throwing her under the bus.
Mu Xiaoxiao was both angry and frustrated.
Meanwhile.
Mu Xiaodong returned to his bedroom and, after thinking it over, decided to give his father, Mu Baicheng, a phone call.
When the cellphone rang, Mu Baicheng subconsciously glanced at Lin Guixiang, who was asleep on his shoulder, before answering the call and speaking in a low voice, "Hello, Xiaodong, what’s up?"
"Dad, are you able to talk right now?" Mu Xiaodong asked.
"Yes." Mu Baicheng switched the phone to his left ear.
