Chapter 543 - For You As the Wife to Talk to Him
“Old Master Mu, you better have a look at this! Take a look and see what kind of people your relatives are! Even I laughed…”
Fu Tianci didn’t stand on ceremony with his words, and Lu Qingmei frowned. She tugged at Fu Tianci. “How are you talking to your father-in-law!”
“I’m saying the Mu family’s relatives, not the Mu family!” Fu Tianci mumbled, feeling a little displeased. His displeasure was mainly from Lu Qingmei calling Old Master Mu his father-in-law.
Mu Mantong threw a glance in Fu Tianci’s direction, and seeing that he seemed a little displeased, she clenched her fists slightly.
Lu Qingmei smiled at Old Master Mu and said, “I’m sorry, this child…”
“It’s alright!” Old Master Mu gave an affectionate smile to Fu Tianci. “I’ve always known that this child has a straightforward character. I like that!”
The mother and daughter panicked when they saw Old Master Mu tap open the video.
“Uncle!” Mu Guangpu’s wife quickly spoke up, “My mother was just spouting gibberish! Don’t… don’t believe that! She was just too angry!”
Old Master Mu didn’t say a word, and the others were speechless as well. Those who couldn’t watch the video tried to strain their ears to listen.
After the video finished playing, Old Master Mu’s face had turned green. Mu Mantong’s countenance didn’t seem good either.
Although Mu Mantong was unable to walk, she was the daughter that Old Master Mu finally got in his later years. He loved her a lot, and she was the apple of his eye. Old Master Mu detested people calling Mu Mantong a cripple the most!
The Mu family’s Auntie Wu, who was pushing Mu Mantong’s wheelchair, was enraged, and she scolded uncontrollably, “What rubbish is Mu Guangpu? Our master only brought him into the Mu family and allowed him to take the Mu surname after seeing that Mu Guangpu didn’t have a mother and was very pitiful! To think that you guys were thinking of messing up our young miss’ engagement? What rubbish! How could you guys dare to think of this given the b*stard that he is?”
Old Master Mu handed the phone back to Fu Tianci. He wore a cold expression as he looked at the silent mother and daughter, then said, “I had no idea that Guangpu’s wife and mother-in-law were so ambitious!”
Mu Guangpu’s mother-in-law immediately said, “Old Master Mu, Mu Guangpu is your nephew after all! I was only spouting gibberish earlier because I was too angry! Guangpu has been rendered impotent, and the couple hasn’t even had a child! Fu Huai’an is too vicious! He’s trying to cut off the Mu family’s offspring! You must seek redress for Guangpu!”
Old Master Mu pursed his lips and didn’t say a word. His countenance turned increasingly grim from the words that Mu Guangpu’s mother-in-law was saying.
Auntie Wu, who was standing behind Mu Mantong, smirked. “What are you talking about? Our young miss is still sitting right here! Since when has the Mu family’s offspring been something that you guys need to be worried about?”
This matter concerned the Mu family’s privacy, and Old Master Mu wasn’t willing to speak up in front of so many people.
Auntie Wu’s words were improper as well. Even Chu Xun could hear that. It wasn’t as if Fu Tianci had married into the Mu family, so could their children take on the Mu family’s surname?
This would affect the agreement that Old Master Mu and Old Master Fu had privately agreed on.
Old Master Mu and Old Master Fu had come to the agreement that if Fu Tianci and Mu Mantong were to have children, their first child would take on the Fu surname regardless of their gender. The second child, regardless of their gender, would take on the Mu surname.
If Fu Tianci and Mu Mantong wished to have more children, then the remaining children would all take the Fu surname, and the Mu family wouldn’t interfere.
Fu Qingquan looked toward Fu Huai’an with the air of a senior. “Huai’an, what in the hell is going on here?”
Seeing that, Chu Xun spoke in a considerate manner, “Grandpa Fu, why don’t we continue this topic upstairs? There are too many people here!”
Fu Qingquan nodded and looked toward Old Master Mu. “There are too many guests today. If there’s anything else, let’s head upstairs and resolve it!”
Old Master Mu also nodded.
“Uncle!”
Mu Guangpu’s wife still wanted to say something but was reprimanded by Old Master Mu…
“Have you not had enough humiliation? Or are you really bent on creating trouble for our Mu family?”
Mu Guangpu’s wife pursed her lips and fell silent. Old Master Mu valued his reputation the most, and with so many people around… any attempt to justify herself would only make Old Master Mu even angrier.
Upstairs, in Fu Qingquan’s study.
It was only now that Mu Guangpu’s mother-in-law realized that she had gotten into trouble. She shrunk into a corner, not saying a word, still holding tightly onto Lin Nuan’s phone.
The moment the door was closed, Old Master Mu flew into a rage. “I didn’t realize that Guangpu’s family had such great ambitions!”
“That’s not it, Uncle!” Mu Guangpu’s wife quickly explained, “My mother was just muddled from her anger! She was just spouting gibberish!”
“But you adopted Guangpu, and Mu Mantong is going to be engaged with the Fu family’s young master as well. In the future, she’ll definitely be married into the Fu family. Old Master Mu, isn’t the reason you let Guangpu adopt the Mu surname so that he could help pass on the Mu family’s line? So that it won’t be cut off?” Mu Guangpu’s mother-in-law said softly.
“There’s no need for you guys to be concerned about whether the Mu family’s line will be cut off!”
Old Master Mu slapped the sofa’s armrest, causing Mu Guangpu’s mother-in-law to be so frightened that she hid behind her daughter.
Mu Guangpu’s wife seemed as if she had made up her mind and spoke up, “Uncle, these words… they weren’t said by my mom. Guangpu said this in front of my mother. My mother has merely remembered what he said!”
Old Master Mu’s cold eyes glanced toward Mu Guangpu’s wife. “Have you decided that you won’t continue to stay with Guangpu?”
The moment he finished his words, the countenance of Mu Guangpu’s wife turned extremely pale. Tears welled up in her eyes, making her appear a little pitiful.
She pushed the blame onto her husband, not worried about what Old Master Mu, whom her husband was reliant on, would think of him. This made it very clear that she had no intention of continuing to stay with Mu Guangpu.
Mu Guangpu’s wife bit her lip with tears trickling down from her eyes, but she continued to remain silent. Old Master Mu nodded. “Alright, I’ll call the shots on this matter. You can get a divorce. After all, Mu Guangpu is now impotent, and he shouldn’t be holding onto you! You can take half of the private assets under Guangpu’s name! This is considered showing you benevolence!”
“There’s still the company!” Mu Guangpu’s mother-in-law spoke up again, but she returned to hiding behind her daughter after seeing Old Master Mu’s terrifying gaze directed at her.
“Thank you, Uncle!” After saying that, Mu Guangpu’s wife grabbed her mother and headed out.
“Wait a minute…” Mu Mantong suddenly spoke up. She frowned and looked at her cousin-in-law. “My brother has always treated you quite well. Right now, he’s still lying in the hospital. Although it’s bad of you to be leaving my brother at this time, the Mu family has nothing to say on the matter. It’s just that… you’re still my brother’s wife at the moment. There’s still the need for the misunderstanding between my brother and President Fu to be resolved. You should stay behind and listen. We’ll still need to trouble you to explain things to my brother later on. After all… this matter concerns my brother’s pride as a man. It’s more suitable for you, as the wife, to talk to him about this!”
Lin Nuan looked toward Mu Mantong and saw that her eyes had misted up. She had no idea if it was because Mu Mantong was feeling sad that her cousin-in-law was planning to leave her cousin, or if it was because she had been humiliated by her cousin’s mother-in-law behind her back.
