“What did you say?” Shen Lin stared at Mu Qiqi angrily. “Don’t think that I’m afraid to beat you up just because Grandpa is on your side.”
“I just came here but you’re so angry all of a sudden. Did you want to show me who is more superior?” Mu Qiqi leaned back directly and examined Shen Lin. “However, I don’t want to be angry at you because I sympathize with you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? When do I need your sympathy?”
“Why don’t you need my sympathy? Do you know who your wife really is?” Mu Qiqi turned to throw a sly look at Yu Jing.
“What does it have to do with Xiao Jing? Don’t make up stories here. If not, don’t blame me if I’m rude to you!” Shen Lin stood up and slammed the table. He was furious.
“Miss Yu, are you brave enough to tell your husband who your mother is?”
“I…” Yu Jing appeared to be put in a difficult position. “I don’t…”
“I know. You want to tell everybody that your mother passed away when she gave birth to you, isn’t it? Then, I want to congratulate you. Your mother is still alive.” Mu Qiqi clapped her hands in front of everybody. “It’s because she admitted that you’re her daughter in front of the entire family. You couldn’t deny that, could you?”
“What are you talking about?” Shen Lin was still puzzled.
“I want to tell you that your newlywed wife, Yu Jing is Rong Junhan’s daughter. She’s her illegitimate daughter with a painter. Do you understand now?”
Shen Lin was stunned after listening to Mu Qiqi. He stared at his own wife in disbelief. Then, he turned to look at his own parents. He got the answer when he saw his parents giving their silent approval. “Is it true?”
Shen Jinyu and his wife remained quiet.
“If that’s the case, won’t it be better since we’ll become closer in this way?”
“Closer?” Mu Qiqi sneered. She stood up too. “Do you know why your uncle, who is my dad, has been lying in bed for so many years? It’s because of Miss Yu’s mother, Madam Rong Junhan who drove her car and hit him.”
“Don’t make false accusations here. My uncle became a vegetable because he got into a fight. Who do you want to lie to now?” Shen Lin held his wife’s shoulder for fear that she would be sad by overthinking.
“You’ll know soon after taking a look at the evidence to see whether I’m lying. I just want to know one thing now. Miss Yu, are you the same as your mother? Plotting and scheming?” Mu Qiqi pointed at Yu Jing and asked imploringly.
“Shut up!” Shen Lin shouted angrily. “This is the Shen family. You’re just an outsider. Stop messing around here!”
“Mu Qiqi, behave yourself.” Huang Yu joined her in the scene now. She was acting as the nice one. “My son and daughter-in-law hold no grudges toward you.”
“How so? This woman’s mother is the reason why my dad has been lying on the sick bed for more than ten years.
She’s the reason why I was bullied and hurt in the Mu family for all these past years. Why can’t I know the truth now? Second Aunt, aren’t you afraid that this woman comes just to cheat your son’s love?”
Surely, Yu Jing would act like the one who was wronged. She acted pitifully and looked at her husband. “I know nothing. I also don’t know why my aunt is my mother.”
“Xiao Jing, this is not your fault. It’s somebody else’s fault as she’s clearly creating conflict here. She’s doing it intentionally.”
“Intentionally? Are you the president or the most privileged person in the world? You claimed that I did it intentionally. Shen Lin, don’t forget yourself when you’re lied to and you could even be nice to the liars.”
