CHAPTER 28: CHAPTER 28: HAPPY FOR UNCLE

Mo Qiaoyan forcefully shoved the butler, angrily shouting, "Let me through, I’m the future mother-in-law of your master!"

The butler glanced at her coldly, too lazy to bother with her. He simply waved to the servants beside him, signaling them to take Mo Qiaoyan away.

Mo Qiaoyan had always lived a life of luxury and had little strength. When she realized she couldn’t break free from being held, she started screaming and cursing, "Mu Beiting, you heartless man! You’re a scoundrel! You’ve wronged my daughter, and you won’t come to a good end! And you, little vixen, I’m telling you, don’t get too proud. When my daughter comes back, you’ll be nothing! Do you think Mu Beiting really likes you? You’re just a substitute for my daughter. He’s just toying with you. My daughter is the rightful Mrs. Mu, and you’ll just be left behind!"

Ye Anxin was held by Mu Beiting as they returned to the villa. Hearing Mo Qiaoyan’s insults, she suddenly smiled with joy, slipping out of Mu Beiting’s arms, and happily clung to his arm, saying, "Uncle, you should be grateful that her daughter ran away! Otherwise, dealing with such a mother-in-law, you’d never have a good day again!"

Mu Beiting paused, gazing at her smiling eyes, and asked, "Are you that happy?"

Ye Anxin nodded without hesitation, "Of course I’m happy! I’m happy for you, Uncle! Though my parents aren’t perfect either, compared to her, they’re nothing!"

Mu Beiting looked at her deeply. When he saw the clear five-finger mark on her fair little face, his eyes darkened, a chill emanating from his gaze. He reached out to touch her slapped cheek, asking hoarsely, "Does it hurt?"

Ye Anxin touched her face, shook her head, and smiled, "It doesn’t hurt. This kind of pain is nothing to me. I’m used to it!"

Hearing this, Mu Beiting’s eyes instantly turned gloomy.

Although he didn’t ask, Ye Anxin could sense his thoughts and directly replied, "Ever since I was young, my dad has been addicted to gambling and racked up a lot of debts! Every time debt collectors came, we couldn’t escape a beating! But every time I was beaten, my mom would protect me, so it was always just superficial injuries!"

Mu Beiting looked at her, a strange emotion flickering deep in his heart, disappearing too quickly for him to ponder over.

Mu Beiting pressed his lips together tightly, silently grabbing her wrist and leading her back into the villa.

After entering the villa, he directly instructed the servant, "Go and boil two eggs!"

The servant obeyed and hurried to the kitchen.

Mu Beiting looked at Ye Anxin’s severely swollen face, his lips moved slightly as he stiffly said, "Endure it for now. Tomorrow I’ll have the butler prepare some medicine at home."

"I’m fine, really fine! See, I can talk and laugh, it doesn’t hurt at all!" As she spoke, fearing that Mu Beiting wouldn’t believe her, she deliberately gave a big smile but unexpectedly pulled on her facial wound, causing her to gasp in pain.

Indeed, Mo Qiaoyan didn’t hold back; she hit her with deadly force!

Earlier, her face was completely numb, so she didn’t feel any pain! Now, as the sensation slowly returned, she realized her face was burning and throbbing with pain.

Seeing her face scrunch up in pain, Mu Beiting’s eyes darkened suddenly, and the warmth in his gaze instantly dropped several degrees.
