"Your son." Mu Yaxi thought Mu Long was pretending to be stupid, so he emphasized the word "son" and dragged out the ending tone for a long time.
"I only have a girl like you, how could I have a son? Stop making trouble and come in." Mu Long seemed to have heard a huge joke, and walked forward to pull Mu Yaxi into the house.
Mu Yaxi shook off his hand, very dissatisfied with his attitude, "He said he was abandoned by you."
"Nonsense!" Mu Long fumed. "If my dignified Mu family really had a son, let alone just one, I could afford to raise a dozen. Am I the kind of person who abandons his children?"
This is true. Mu Long can afford to raise even a dozen, not just one. He particularly loves children. When Ni Tiantian and Fang Ziyu were young, they would always stay at Mu's house. Mu Long treated them like his own children. They had everything Mu Yaxi had, and Mu's house was their paradise. Mu Long often said that it would be great if he had a few more boys, so he could have both sons and daughters. Sometimes, when a friend brought their son to visit, Mu Long would hold the other child in his arms and "can't let go." Mu Yaxi would often get jealous and accuse Mu Long of favoring boys over girls. A Mu Long like that would never abandon his own children.
"He said he was my half-brother."
It doesn't make sense that Mu Long would abandon his child on his own initiative, so there is only one possibility: Mu Long really doesn't know of his existence.
"Half-sister..." Mu Long's brows knitted. He hadn't touched any other woman in the years since Xu Wan's passing. He could truly say he was with her for the rest of his life. This was the romance and commitment they had. Even though Xu Wan was gone, he had no plans to remarry. Having Xu Wan in his life was enough for him. How could he have children with another woman? Such questions undoubtedly desecrated his and Xu Wan's relationship, making him very uncomfortable.
"Dad, you are so romantic."
Mu Long's expression was interpreted by Mu Yaxi as meaning he had too many women and couldn't remember who they were. His emotions, which had just calmed down a little, were ignited again. He wanted to say the second half of the sentence, "Don't you even remember whose child it is?" But after all, the person in front of him was his father who had doted on him for more than 20 years, so he swallowed back the unpleasant words.
"Don't you know what kind of person your father is? Do you believe your father or a stranger?" Mu Yaxi's words hurt Mu Long very much. The father-daughter relationship of more than 20 years was not as important as the gossip of a stranger. This precious child whom he had held in his hands for more than 20 years actually said such words to him. Even a man who had been dominating the business world for decades could not help but get excited, and his fingers hanging by his side trembled slightly.
Mu Yaxi knew that she had hurt Mu Long's heart, and she felt worse than if she had hurt herself. She wanted to believe Mu Long, but the father in front of her looked almost identical to the angry man. It was as if he had copied Mu Long's face exactly.
"Dad, he perfectly inherited your genes, the Mu family's bloodline, and the abilities of the Mu family's bloodline. His abilities even surpass mine. Even the mole at the corner of his mouth is the same as yours." Mu Yaxi stared at Mu Long's eyes, trying to find the answer. She wanted a negative answer, even if Mu Long made up a perfect excuse.
"Impossible, how could this be..." Mu Long was even more shocked.
"I..." Xiaozhuang cautiously moved to the front, standing in the middle of the swirling vortex between the father and daughter. He held his phone in front of Mulong. On it was a picture of the man. The picture was not very clear. It was taken after Yuri created an illusion for him. "I took a picture."
Mu Long collapsed completely. The painful face in the photo overlapped with a woman in his memory. "He said he was my son?" It was unclear who he was asking or whether he was asking a question. It was more like a person muttering to himself.
The floodgates of memory were opened, pouring out like a flood. It was a dusty memory that he didn't want to think about and didn't want to admit. If there was any stain in his life, this was the only stain. For more than 20 years, he and Xu Wan had a tacit understanding not to mention it, but God gave him such a big mistake.
"Don't stand at the door, go inside first." Mu Long turned around and told the servants, "Take the guests back to their rooms." Then he looked at Mu Yaxi with a complicated look and said, "Go for a walk with Daddy. You haven't walked with me for a long time. Your pony has grown up and I almost don't recognize you anymore."
Mu Yaxi's nose felt sore, and her chest felt like it was clogged with a large piece of cotton. He was still the same loving father, the one who smiled at her even when he had just lost his temper with his subordinates. She nodded with red eyes and obediently took Mu Long's arm...
Mu Long showed amazing business talent when he was in his early twenties. He worked with Mu Yaxi's grandfather to consolidate the Mu family's business empire, doubling the wealth accumulated by the Mu family's ancestors.
Successful men are always eye-catching. A young, successful man is never short of women who flock to him like flies, and they can't wait to strip them naked and send them to his bed.
The men of the Mu family are always cold and aloof. In their eyes, those beautiful women are just vulgar women, and they naturally look down on them. In the tradition of the Mu family, there has never been a story of Prince Charming and Cinderella, only the combination of elites.
Xu Wan, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, was four years older than Mu Long. She had entered the business world early and had always been a well-known figure in the business world. The two met during a competing merger and acquisition case, where Xu Wan defeated the "fledgling" Mu Long and successfully acquired the sizable enterprise. From that moment on, Mu Long knew that this was the woman for him.
Xu Wan is strong and domineering, a mastermind in the business world. She is too tough for a woman to be a woman. Everyone around her says that such a woman is hard to marry and will scare men away. But Mu Long loves her uniqueness.
Because of the age difference, Mu Long spent a lot of effort to pursue Xu Wan. After two years of hard work, he finally won her heart. However, the accident happened on their wedding night.
Dai Tong pursued Mu Long for six years like a dog-skin plaster. Mu Long's arrogance and indifference repelled all women except her. In Mu Long's eyes, Dai Tong was like Cinderella in all fairy tales, kind, simple, and possessed all the qualities that a Cinderella should have. She was a very likable woman, but Mu Long just couldn't get interested in her.
At the wedding, Dai Tong came uninvited, tore off all the masks of disguise, and denounced Mu Long's indifference. Mu Long just watched coldly, asked the security to carry her out, and then he and Xu Wan continued the wedding ceremony as if nothing had happened. Dai Tong's hysteria did not cause any waves for them, but it did shock the guests.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but on the morning of the wedding night, Mu Long opened his eyes and saw that the woman next to him was Dai Tong...
