Chapter 420 - What I Lack Isn’t Money, It’s a Woman
“Ha!” Mu Donglin looked at her while his body swayed slightly. He then released his grip on the edge of the table and walked towards her. He pointed at himself and laughed, spitting out words with much difficulty. “Not related at all… to me? Then… what about him?”
He pointed straight at Mu Xichen. “What’s your relationship with him?”
Mu Donglin’s voice choked up slightly. “You were planning our wedding with me… planning our future on one hand… but plotting against me and forcing me to get a divorce with you on the other… Now what? Is it Mu Dongchen’s turn to be played and toyed around by you?”
Walking towards Li Beinian shakily, he sneered. “It’s funny how much I believed you when you told me that you would get married to me when you were so jealous of Kerou… You acted as if it was all so real and sincere. Impressive, truly impressive…”
Li Beinian stood firmly in her spot. Her gaze never moved away from him as he approached.
Her gaze still remained as cold as before.
“Hey.” Jiang Yeqing immediately stepped in front of her with a smile, blocking off Mu Donglin’s advances. “Aren’t you going to continue with the challenge? You’re drunk, Young Master Mu. Why don’t you go back and stop scaring this poor girl?”
He firmly gripped Mu Donglin’s shoulders and pushed him backward. Jiang Yeqing waved to Chen Ye. “Your company is going to make real big losses if your President loses this challenge. Are you still not gonna hold him back?”
She should have been his…
“Brother?” A soft and gentle voice entered the space along with the sound of heels clicking on the floor. The same voice broke into a gasp. “Brother Donglin?”
Lin Ya’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw Lin Kerou. “What are you doing here?”
Lin Kerou was already squatting beside Mu Donglin, checking on him. She heard Lin Ya’s words and subconsciously raised her head. “Li Beinian called me over. She said Brother Donglin was drunk…”
A laugh escaped Mu Donglin’s lips as he heard her words and a teardrop running down the side of his face. He whispered to himself in realization, “She’s so cruel…”
He said it so softly, Li Beinian could hardly hear his words.
She turned over mindlessly, her gaze meeting that pair of bloodshot eyes that were glistening with tears and filled with a sense of brokenness. Mu Donglin was slowly held up by Chen Ye and Lin Kerou.
She had never seen him like this before in the five years of knowing him and their three years of marriage.
Li Beinian’s heart suddenly ached with a rush of mixed emotions overwhelming her.
The next moment, someone grabbed her arm tightly.
Mu Xichen pulled her towards himself so much strength it was almost domineering.
He propped himself up while pressing upon her shoulders, his whole body reeking of alcohol. He leaned his face right next to hers, his hot breath landing on her cheeks. Speaking with a hoarse voice filled with drunkness, he said, “Let’s go home.”
Li Beinian’s body stumbled along with him as he struggled to find his balance. She unconsciously hugged him tightly and spoke softly, “Are you able to walk? Jiang Yeqing, Gu Mingye, come and help!”
“I don’t want their help.” Mu Xichen shoved Jiang Yeqing aside as his lips grazed the side of her eyes slightly and repeated without raising his voice, “Let’s go home, go home…”
