Ji Zhinan remained calm, unfazed by the gaze that had been fixed on him 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 alive!"
Why would my granddaughter want to burn you alive?
"..." This question left Mu Zeyu speechless.
Ji Zhinan had no grudge against him, nor did he harbor any hatred so great that he felt he had to kill him to vent his anger.
Ji Zhinan looked at him calmly and said, "May I ask what heinous and disgusting things Young Master Mu has done that makes you think I must 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 a complete mess.
"Wait... I've got it! It's because the person I love isn't you, it's Xiaxia!"
Having finally found a very convincing reason, Mu Zeyu looked at Ji Zhinan with a cold smile.
"You love me unconditionally, but I only have Xiaxia in my heart. That's why you hate Xiaxia, because you feel that only when Xiaxia dies can you take her place. As for me... naturally, it's love turned to hate. That's right, that's it!"
"Pfft—" Ji Zhinan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Mu Zeyu was confused. He had clearly said the truth, so why was Ji Zhinan laughing?
“Young Master Mu, narcissism is a disease. You happen to be at the hospital now, so you should go get it treated later.”
Wu Yan'e felt very uncomfortable hearing this and glared at Ji Zhinan: "Ji Zhinan, what do you mean!"
“It doesn’t mean anything.” Ji Zhinan shrugged. “What Young Master Mu said is completely nonsensical. My grandfather and I really don’t understand what Young Master Mu is trying to express.”
"What do you mean, 'it's all nonsense'?" She couldn't understand what was wrong with what her son was saying.
Ji Zhinan smiled and extended her index finger: "First of all, Young Master Mu said that I was jealous of Ji Zhixia, so I tried to kill her and take her place as Mrs. Mu. If that's true, why were Young Master Mu injured along with Ji Zhixia?"
Then he extended his middle finger: "Secondly, Young Master Mu said that I hate him because of love, which is strange. Just now you were thinking of replacing Ji Zhixia, how did it become hate because of love? Isn't that just a complete contradiction?"
Ji Zhinan analyzed Mu Zeyu's words thoroughly, and everyone reviewed them again.
That seems... to make sense; it is indeed incoherent.
Following up on Ji Zhinan's words, Old Master Ji continued, "Young Master Mu probably doesn't know that when you and Xiaxia first got into trouble, both companies went through a crisis. To stabilize the situation, the two families decided to arrange a marriage. Our Ji family originally wanted Nannan to be engaged to you, but my granddaughter Nannan refused without hesitation, saying that she and Young Master Mu were at most childhood playmates, not even friends, and had no feelings for each other. So she didn't want to waste her youth and happiness on Young Master Mu. Later, after learning that Xiaxia and Young Master Mu were in love, we arranged your engagement."
Mr. Ji spoke very directly.
Ji Zhinan clearly disliked Mu Zeyu intensely. If she truly liked him, she wouldn't have refused so resolutely when the marriage proposal was made.
However, Ji Zhinan refused without saying a word, which shows that Mu Zeyu was lying and that Ji Zhinan had no interest in him at all.
"..."
Mu Zeyu initially felt he was in the right, but after saying just a few words, he couldn't find any words to refute him.
