"Alright, alright," Mu Baicheng sighed in relief when he heard Lin Guixiang was willing to give him a chance, "Ah Xiang, thank you."
Two hours later, Mu Baicheng returned to the hospital.
Mu Xiaoxiao was peeling an apple for Old Lady Mu when she heard footsteps. She looked up at Mu Baicheng and smiled, "Dad, you’re back..."
Slap!
Before she could finish her sentence, she was slapped across the face by Mu Baicheng.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Old Lady Mu was also stunned.
"Chengcheng! Have you gone mad!" Old Lady Mu sat up straight from the sickbed, glaring at Mu Baicheng, "Why did you hit Xiaoxiao?"
"Hitting her is letting her off easy," Mu Baicheng even wanted to hit her too if Old Lady Mu wasn’t the one who raised him, "Mom, do you realize you’ve spoiled her rotten?"
The Mu Xiaoxiao of today was simply too arrogant and ignorant of the world.
If she doesn’t get disciplined properly now, who knows what kind of bigger trouble she might get into later.
"Dad, what have I done?" Mu Xiaoxiao covered her face, looking at Mu Baicheng with uncontrollable anger.
Because she lost her mother at a young age, Mu Baicheng doted on his daughter extremely. Whatever she wanted, she got; he could never bring himself to lay a finger on her.
This was the first time.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt her dignity had been trampled on by Mu Baicheng.
Mu Baicheng pointed at Mu Xiaoxiao and continued, "I ask you, what exactly did you do at Aunt Lin’s house with your grandmother?"
Every time Mu Baicheng thought about how his mother and daughter acted all high and mighty in front of Lin Guixiang, he felt terrible inside.
Especially the last scene.
Mu Xiaoxiao had the audacity to demand Lin Guixiang kneel down and admit her wrongs.
That wasn’t just about Lin Guixiang being angry.
If it were him, he would have struck her then and there.
It was then that Mu Xiaoxiao realized her father was so furious because of Lin Guixiang.
What was so good about that woman Lin Guixiang?
She had actually bewitched her father to this extent!
With unwillingness in her eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao cried out, "Dad, am I really your biological daughter? I grew up without a mother’s love which is already enough, but now, for the sake of an outsider, you actually hit me! If I was really wrong, you could hit me, but now, I did nothing, and just because of that woman’s one-sided story, you lay hands on me! Dad, does your behavior truly honor my deceased mother?"
At this point, Mu Xiaoxiao cried even louder, "Mom, Mom, I really miss you! Why did you leave your daughter to live alone and helpless in this world..."
Hearing these words, Mu Baicheng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. His daughter was indeed pitiful, having never seen her mother since birth.
This was also why Mu Baicheng spoiled her so.
He didn’t want Mu Xiaoxiao to feel different from other children.
Mu Baicheng took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down, and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, "Do you think I want to hit you? Xiaoxiao, you have really disappointed me this time! Now that things have come to this, you not only fail to reflect, but you even make excuses. Do you know that Aunt Lin’s house had hidden cameras installed, and I know very well what you and your grandmother did."
Upon hearing this, both Old Lady Mu and Mu Xiaoxiao were startled. freeweɓnøvel~com
Clearly...
Neither of them had expected the Lin Family to have cameras.
Especially Mu Xiaoxiao, she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were deeply embedded into her flesh.
She was resentful.
Mu Xiaoxiao was very resentful.
Soon, Old Lady Mu came back to her senses. She narrowed her eyes and said, "This was all my doing. I just wanted to test whether Lin Guixiang could be bought with that ten million. If she could be, it would prove that she isn’t worthy of you at all. Who knew, before Xiaoxiao and I could finish our act, they turned their backs on us. We didn’t even get a chance to explain."
"Chengcheng, Xiaoxiao and I are your blood relatives. If we didn’t have your best interests at heart, why would we have come all the way from Capital City to suffer in Qing City? Yet you didn’t even ask and went straight to slapping Xiaoxiao. That slap was not on Xiaoxiao, but on me! Chengcheng, oh Chengcheng, you have deeply disappointed me!"
At the end, Old Lady Mu pounded her chest with force, looking utterly heartbroken.
Mu Baicheng initially thought his mother and daughter were deliberately making things difficult for Lin Guixiang, not realizing they were just acting to test Lin Guixiang.
Although their method might be questionable, their intentions were for his benefit.
