The female doctor explained Qin Wu's condition to Ziyue and Muchen.
It was the same as Jueyin told them. Wu was in dire condition.
It was uncertain whether she would regain consciousness. Even if she did, she would never regain normal function.
After the doctor explained Wu's condition, Ziyue and Muchen did not linger and left soon after.
They met Yuchuan at the hospital's entrance.
Ziyue followed behind Muchen and was distracted by her thoughts about Wu.
When Muchen suddenly paused, Ziyue finally got out of her daze and looked at him.
She followed his line of sight and saw Zheng and a bodyguard before them.
A black Bentley was parked a short distance behind Zheng and the bodyguard.
Yuchuan was obviously in that car.
From the looks of it, Yuchuan deliberately came here to wait for Muchen.
But if he wanted to see Muchen, why not call him? Why must he wait here?
Ziyue and Muchen paused at the same time. Muchen narrowed his eyes and looked in Yuchuan's direction. He stared there for a few seconds before turning to Ziyue. "Wait for me in the car."
She looked away from the Bentley and replied, "Sure."
Then, Muchen placed the car keys in her hand before walking toward Yuchuan's car.
Ziyue hesitated momentarily before turning around and going to Muchen's car.
…
As Muchen walked to Yuchuan's car, a bodyguard immediately opened the door.
The bodyguard behaved respectfully, as they usually did.
Muchen entered the car and sat down. He did not look at Yuchuan but said indifferently, "What is it?"
Yuchuan's expression turned tense. He glared at Muchen. "What did you gain from it?"
"Please be more specific." Muchen finally turned to him. His eyes were mysterious and scary, reminding one of a bloodthirsty beast waiting to pounce on its prey.
Yuchuan's heart trembled fearfully.
He had always known that it would be hard to control Muchen. At the same time, he thought he could see through Muchen.
Even though Muchen did certain things outside Yuchuan's expectations, Yuchuan always considered it a surprising coincidence. He never expected to be defeated by Muchen.
What happened to Wu finally alerted him.
Muchen pretended not to understand. Yuchuan's expression darkened, and he said through gritted teeth, "Wu."
Muchen smirked imperceptibly.
Then, he said with a shallow smile, "Oh? Are you heartbroken over her? Dr. Qin spent most of her life by your side and never asked you for anything. Are you sad because she ended up in such a sorry state?"
Yuchuan widened his eyes and looked at Muchen in disbelief. "What nonsense are you saying?"
However, his expression clearly showed fury at being exposed.
Muchen looked out the window.
He saw Ziyue playing with her phone in his car. Then, he turned to Yuchuan and seemed bored.
He did not wish to waste his time with Yuchuan and answered immediately, "Wu is your lover. She has been with you even before Grandma passed away. Because of her special status with you, she dared to alter Ziyue's medical report two years ago."
"Is that why you released a poisonous snake on her and caused her to end up in this state?" Yuchuan was filled with embarrassment and fury.
"Why else?" Muchen sneered. "Since you could not deal with her, I gave you a hand. It can't be helped that we all have the same surname."
Everyone knew about Yuchuan and Wu's relationship. However, no one dared to say anything.
Muchen only found out about what happened two years ago when Ziyue finally returned to his side.
However, he only had enough time to deal with the mastermind of the matter, Gu Hanyan, and did not have a chance to do anything to Wu.
They had separated him from his wife and child for two years. He would not let them go unpunished.
"You, you…" Yuchuan pointed at Muchen but could not say anything.
"You can easily find other prettier and younger women with your status. There's no need to grieve over that old woman. She deserves the punishment for her crime."
He spoke the final few words softly as if for his ears alone.
He said this because he knew Wu was not just any ordinary woman to Yuchuan.
Wu was someone who had remained with Yuchuan for more than a decade. She was dedicated to caring for him and was utterly loyal to him.
Even though Yuchuan was not a sentimental person, he would still have some feelings for a woman like her.
Yuchuan was too furious to speak at this moment.
On the other hand, Muchen had a satisfied grin. "Grandpa, you must… take care."
He tossed out those words casually and left the car.
…
Ziyue waited in the car and soon saw Muchen heading toward her.
He got into the car and started it. "Let's go."
Ziyue could not resist glancing behind.
She saw Yuchuan's car remained parked at the same spot. Then, she turned to Muchen and saw his calm expression. She could not help but wonder what did Muchen and Yuchuan talk about.
"What did you and Grandpa talk about?" Ziyue asked curiously.
"We discussed the gathering next week." Muchen turned to her with a gentle smile.
Ziyue pursed her lips. "Oh."
She had stayed in Mogwin Castle for some time and knew the family would have a gathering from time to time.
"Must we go?" Ziyue thought she would interact with the Mogwin family less frequently after moving out.
However, Muchen's tone indicated that he would attend the gathering.
As expected, Muchen did not answer her but asked, "Do you not wish to go?"
Ziyue did not say anything.
The traffic light turned red. Muchen stopped the car, reached for her hand, and comforted her, "You can treat it as an ordinary gathering."
Ziyue looked at Muchen's well-formed fingers and nodded. "Sure."
Since he wishes to go, I'll go with him.
After all, there's nothing to be scared of.
…
Muchen and Ziyue returned to Mogwin Castle on a weekend evening.
Most of the family members were already there when they arrived.
The main hall was lively due to the presence of the Mogwin family members.
The younger members of the family had also invited their friends.
Ziyue noticed this and asked Muchen. "Are we allowed to bring friends?"
Muchen did not say anything, but his silence affirmed her inquiry.
Ziyue considered and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have invited Chuan and Ke."
Muchen had a guarded expression. "They can't be here."
