Mu Xiao's will was like a silent yet loud slap in the face, causing Mu Tingyun's cheeks to swell.
At this moment, Mu Tingyun's self-esteem was crushed to pieces by Mu Xiao.
This was the first time in his 28 years of life that he felt so miserable.
The mourning hall was packed with Mu family members, close friends and guests who came to pay their respects, and staff. At this moment, they looked at him with a lively expression.
There is schadenfreude, pity and regret, as well as ridicule.
Mu Tingyun was filled with resentment, and the gazes of the people around him made his chest feel heavy and he couldn't breathe.
He walked to the coffin, squatted down, took a stack of burning paper and burned it silently.
After burning the paper, he stood up, took a step back, knelt on one knee in front of Mu Xiao's coffin, and kowtowed three times.
In the silent mourning hall, the sound of his kowtow was particularly prominent, making those around him frown.
After bowing, Mu Tingyun walked out of the mourning hall without saying a word.
He went to the bar and got drunk. After getting drunk, he subconsciously took out his cell phone and dialed the number marked as "little licking dog".
The mechanical female voice reminded him again and again: [The number you dialed is currently busy. Please try again later.]
Mu Tingyun shook his wine glass and laughed at himself, "Even you blocked me."
Mu Tingyun drank glass after glass of wine.
As his consciousness was fading, someone snatched his wine glass away, "Third brother, stop drinking."
Xie Jing'an heard that Mu Tingyun was drinking in a bar, and he was worried about her, so he ran over to accompany Mu Tingyun.
Mu Tingyun stared at Xie Jing'an's face for a long time before recognizing him.
"Thank you, Er."
Mu Tingyun held Xie Jingan's shoulders and asked with a smile, "Third brother, isn't this funny?"
Xie Jing'an pursed his lips tightly, staring at Mu Tingyun with worried eyes. He said, "Third brother, you are drunk."
Mu Tingyun nodded and said, "Yes, I'm drunk."
He has always been a man with strong self-control. He has many business social engagements and can mix red and white drinks. He rarely gets drunk.
But no matter how good a person's alcohol tolerance is, he can't handle the way he drinks tonight.
Mu Tingyun was drunk, but sober. He said, "Xie Er, no one... no one cares about me."
"There's no one from the Mu family, and there's no one from the Song family either."
Mu Tingyun shook his head and rested his forehead on Xie Jingan's shoulder. The pungent smell of alcohol sprayed on Xie Jingan's neck. He muttered, "I look more like an orphan than Xie Jinghong."
When Xie Jing'an heard these words, he felt uncomfortable and felt that Mu Tingyun was quite miserable.
The Xie family relied on the Mu family for business, and his father taught him from a very young age to spend more time with the Mu brothers.
But Mu Laoer is more than ten years older than him, and they are not the same kind of people after all.
Xie Jingan has always been hanging out with Mu Tingyun. They have been playing with him since junior high school. They have done both good and bad things together.
Xie Jingan understood how difficult it was for Mu Tingyun.
His status seems glorious.
The third son of the Mu family and the grandson of the Song family, either of these two identities is an enviable existence.
But when these two identities come together in the same person, it is the greatest misfortune.
In the past few years, Song Jingcheng took the initiative to get close to Mu Tingyun and gained recognition from the Song family. Mu Tingyun's status in the Mu family also rose.
But who could have expected this day?
When was the root of this disaster planted?
"You're not entirely right." Xie Jing'an asked the bartender to hand him a wine glass. He poured himself a glass of wine with one hand, took a sip, and said regretfully, "Actually, Chen He really loved you."
"She took the knife for you back then. When I received the news and escorted you to the hospital, I saw her back covered in blood and flesh. I thought, if there was a woman who could do this for me, I would give my heart and soul to her."
When talking about the matter between Chen He and Mu Tingyun, Xie Jingan sincerely felt sorry for Chen He, "Third brother, you were really a jerk to Chen He."
Hearing this, Mu Tingyun felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
"Chen He..."
His eyes suddenly turned red.
In this world, there was indeed a woman with no relatives or friends who loved him and went through fire and water for him.
But he doesn't cherish it.
"Xie Er, you're right, I'm a bastard."
Mu Tingyun felt a dull pain in his heart. He didn't know how to relieve the discomfort, so he could only raise his head and continue drinking.
Xie Jingan forcefully snatched his wine glass away and said unhappily, "Even if you drink until your stomach is perforated and you die of alcohol poisoning, Chen He will not look back."
“Third brother, belated affection is cheaper than grass. Besides, Chen He doesn’t care about your affection at all.”
When Xie Jingan saw the wound on Shen He's back, he knew that she was a woman who was stronger than alcohol.
A girl like her will open her heart to the person she loves, and when she doesn't love someone anymore, she will never look back.
"Not to mention, she's with your uncle now."
Speaking of Chen He and Song Jingcheng, Xie Jingan was even more emotional. "You and I both know what kind of person your uncle is."
"If he's not really in love, wouldn't he reveal Shen He's identity when he's seriously ill and has no medical treatment?"
"Besides, Chen He, that girl has a strong character and is very clear-headed. She is definitely not the kind of woman who would associate with Mr. Song out of a momentary confusion."
"Third brother, you'd better pray that Mr. Song's illness can't be cured. If he is cured and he and Chen He have a wedding, then you have to attend the wedding in person and call your ex-girlfriend aunt."
"That's what it's like to be pierced by thousands of arrows!"
Xie Jingan just said this, but he felt embarrassed for Mu Tingyun.
