Because Si Minghuan was a famous painter and his car accident had a certain social influence, the police quickly issued a traffic accident certification.
Car accidents are ultimately defined as accidents.
After the traffic accident certificate was issued, the funeral process for Si Minghuan began.
After Mu Qingfeng and his party came to Country M, Mu Tingxiao no longer needed to handle Si Minghuan's affairs.
He was finally free.
Before the funeral started, Shiye came back from outside and went straight to Mu Tingxiao's room.
Mu Tingxiao was dressed in solemn black clothes and black trousers, sitting on the sofa looking thoughtful.
Tokoye walked over and called out respectfully: "Master."
Mu Tingxiao did not raise his eyes to look at him, but just asked: "How is the investigation going?"
Tokoye said: "What I found is the same as the results given by the police. It does seem to be just a traffic accident."
Even Mu Mu could be taken away without anyone noticing, so Mu Tingxiao naturally had reason to suspect that Si Minghuan's car accident was not an accident.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
Then came the servant's voice: "Master Mu, we are leaving for the funeral parlor now."
After hearing this, Mu Tingxiao stood up from the sofa, straightened his black shirt, and said to Shi Ye, "Let's go."
…
When we arrived at the funeral home, everyone from the Si family had already arrived.
Si Chengyu accompanied Mu Lian to receive those who came to express condolences.
Mu Lian lost a lot of weight in just one week. Even the heavy makeup couldn't hide his aging look. He looked very haggard and thin.
Mu Tingxiao nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "My condolences."
Mu Lian didn't speak, just nodded, making her look a little more depressed.
Mu Tingxiao frowned slightly, looked her over, and went in.
Walking inside, he saw Mu Jiachen kneeling on the ground.
Although Mu Jiachen has been kept free over the years, blood is thicker than water. He is fifteen years old and knows what death means.
He lost his father forever.
Mu Tingxiao walked to him and squatted down, handing him a tissue.
Mu Jiachen looked up, his eyes were red and swollen, his nose was also red, and he called out in a hoarse voice: "Cousin."
With just such a cry, Mu Jiachen burst into tears.
Even though he pursed his lips stubbornly, you could still hear the suppressed sobs coming from his throat.
"Yeah." Mu Tingxiao responded and stuffed the tissue into his hand.
There are many things in life that we cannot control and there is nothing we can do about them.
The comfort of language is, most of the time, extremely feeble.
Mu Jiachen tightly held the tissue that Mu Tingxiao handed him in his hand, and buried his head low to prevent Mu Tingxiao from seeing his face, but Mu Tingxiao still saw the broken thread. Tears that hit the ground.
Mu Tingxiao just patted him on the back and stood up.
…
After Si Minghuan's funeral, Mu Tingxiao and his party also wanted to return to Huyang City.
At noon the day before departure, everyone sat in the hall to have lunch.
Si Chengyu suddenly said: "Mom, come back to Huyang City with us."
When the others heard his words, they turned to look at Mu Lian.
Only Mu Tingxiao lowered his head and ate his food as if he hadn't heard anything, as if he didn't care what happened at this table.
Mu Lian paused and did not answer immediately.
Mu Qingfeng also followed up and said: "Yes, Minghuan is no longer here, and Chengyu and Xiaochen are also in the country. You stay here alone and have no one to rely on. You might as well go back to Huyang City with us." .”
Everyone was waiting for Mu Lian's answer.
Mu Lian put down the fork in his hand and said softly: "No, I'm used to living in country M, so I'd better stay here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Jiachen placed the cup in his hand heavily on the dining table, making a "bang" sound.
At this time, even Mu Tingxiao couldn't help but make us look sideways at Mu Jiachen.
Mu Jiachen's complexion has also been very poor recently, and his beautiful little face is also very haggard.
He looked at Mu Lian with a cold look: "It's up to you, you don't care about us at all anyway."
Mu Qingfeng was the first to react and whispered: "Xiao Chen!"
Mu Jiachen didn't even look at Mu Qingfeng, he stood up and strode out of the restaurant.
"Mom, don't take it too seriously. Xiaochen is still young. I'll go check on him first." Si Chengyu said soothingly in Mu Lian's ear, then stood up and chased after Mu Jiachen.
Mu Lian stayed for a few seconds and stood up: "I'm full, you guys eat slowly."
Like a farce, the mother and son left the table one after another, leaving Mu Qingfeng and Mu Tingxiao sitting face to face at the dining table.
What happened just now did not affect Mu Tingxiao, he was still eating slowly.
Seeing this, Mu Qingfeng frowned and looked at him dissatisfied: "Tingxiao, you and Xiaochen have a good relationship. Go and persuade him later."
Mu Tingxiao neither agreed nor refused, but just said: "Si Chengyu is his biological brother."
The word "brother" was emphasized by Mu Tingxiao.
When Mu Qingfeng heard this, his expression changed slightly.
He stared at Mu Tingxiao for a few seconds before saying, "You know everything?"
Mu Tingxiao said nothing.
With a "pop" sound, Mu Qingfeng slapped the dining table and said angrily: "Mu Tingxiao, I'm asking you a question."
Mu Tingxiao lowered his eyes and sneered: "Does it matter whether I know or not? My mother has been hidden from you all her life. Even grandpa only found out about this later, right? You are really amazing."
Mu Qingfeng said with a livid face: "That was an accident."
"The kidnapping case that year was an accident, what happened to grandpa was an accident, Si Chengyu's illegitimate son was an accident, and my uncle's car accident was also an accident..." Mu Tingxiao paused and said with a sarcastic tone: "You have been accidentally killed for half your life. Right and left, life is really a failure.”
Mu Qingfeng was so angry that he almost lost his mind. He pointed at him and shouted loudly: "Mu Tingxiao, do you think I dare not pull you down from your position as CEO of Mu Corporation?"
Compared to Mu Qingfeng's rage, Mu Tingxiao seemed unusually calm.
He said calmly: "Then let's try it. It's faster for you to remove me from the position of president of Mushi, or for me to make Mushi go bankrupt."
Mu Qingfeng was willing to hand over the Mu family to Mu Tingxiao so early, mainly because Mu Tingxiao did have inhuman talents in business.
Mu's family was already full of problems in his own hands. Only by handing it over to Mu Tingxiao could Mu's family reach a higher level.
But he never thought that Mu Tingxiao would have such thoughts.
He looked at Mu Tingxiao in disbelief: "What good will it do you to bankrupt the Mu family! Don't forget that your surname is Mu! You, us, and the Mu family are all one, and we will both prosper and suffer. !”
