Mu Li didn't change his shoes and went straight to the guest room to find Xu Yuan. When he opened the door, he saw her half lying on the bed in Lin Qing's pajamas, staring at the ceiling in a trance.
Mu Li glanced at the clothes and thought of Lin Qing. He glanced at Xu Yuan coldly and said, "Take off your clothes."
Xu Yuan was startled by someone suddenly speaking. She turned around and saw that it was Mu Li.
Xu Yuan was slightly startled: "What?"
Ask her to take off her clothes? Didn't she hear it wrongly
Mu Li turned and went to the living room, leaving only a low voice: "Change into your own clothes."
He just let her stay here for two days. Who allowed her to touch Lin Qing's things
Xu Yuan naturally understood why he said that, and jealousy and hatred surged in her heart. Lin Qing, why is he so good to you
After changing clothes, Xu Yuan followed him to the living room. Mu Li was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was holding a teddy bear in his hand and turning around boredly.
Lin Qing liked to bring some of these things home, and there were two of them on the bedside of the master bedroom. Once he wanted to throw them away, Lin Qing got angry with him, but now Mu Li didn't find them annoying at all.
Xu Yuan never liked this kind of little girl's toys, and his eyes showed obvious disdain: "Mr. Mu is willing to come back?"
Mu Li paused holding the teddy bear and looked at her coldly: "Don't talk to me in that tone, are you crazy trying to pretend to be the mistress?"
"Pretending?" Xu Yuan thought he was joking, but then she thought he probably didn't know about that yet, so she teased him, "I'm not pretending, Mu Li, I'm the hostess here now."
Mu Li curled his lips coldly: "Xu Yuan, I think you are dreaming and going crazy."
Xu Yuan didn't care. Instead, he looked at Mu Li with amusement: "I didn't dream, but you haven't woken up yet? Mu Li, do you know what happened?"
Mu Li narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze cutting a line like a knife.
Xu Yuan continued, "The Mu family has issued a statement to the public that I am the daughter-in-law of the Mu family."
"What nonsense?" Mu Li interrupted her coldly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He suddenly remembered that the adjutant said that his mother came yesterday afternoon, and he also remembered the adjutant's last unfinished sentence.
… Could it be true
Xu Yuan smiled, pointed at the landline on the table and winked at Mu Li: "Whether it's nonsense or not, you can ask your mother yourself."
Mu Li dubiously dialed the phone number of the Mu family villa, and it was the housekeeper who answered.
"Where's my mom? Let her answer."
The housekeeper followed the lines that the lady had given him and said slowly and calmly, "The master and the lady are on vacation and will not be back within half a month."
Mu Li's face darkened: "Where did they go on vacation?"
The housekeeper cleared his throat and continued, "The master and the mistress said they can't tell you. They also said that you have no choice in this matter, because the mistress... Miss Lin's parents should be with them now."
Early this morning, Shen Yuhe made an appointment with Lin Qing's parents to go on vacation. When they boarded the plane, Mu Yonghao clarified the scandal here.
Lin Qing's parents became a bargaining chip to threaten Mu Li, and Mu Li knew that if Mu Yonghao got angry, he would definitely do something ruthless. If Mu Li didn't want to be hated by Lin Qing in the future, he couldn't do anything at this time.
Doing so was nothing more than making Mu Li obey their arrangements and pass this test smoothly. With Xu Yuan's current public identity, even if others had any objections, they would not say anything.
Mu Li's tall figure cast a shadow. At this time, he and Lin Qing might have completed the divorce procedures.
Lin Qing is not around at this time. What would she think if she heard the news in the northern suburbs
That day he told her to wait for him, but...
Mu Li slapped the phone down and turned to leave. Xu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed him: "Where are you going?"
"What's it to you?" Mu Li glanced at her coldly and shook her hand away.
The back of Xu Yuan's hand hit the table, leaving a red mark. "Of course I have the right to care. I am your legal wife now. Do you still want to go find Lin Qing to reminisce about the old times?"
"Shut up!"
"Mu Li, since it's already like this, it's time for you and Lin Qing to end it. I saw that she didn't come back last night. Maybe she was with Chen Qudong. Why are you still thinking about her? Even if you can still be husband and wife, she will cheat on you sooner or later."
"Cheating?" Mu Li narrowed his eyes, his expression was unfathomable, "Xu Yuan, you say this kind of thing easily."
Xu Yuan suddenly remembered the night she got pregnant, and her movements paused slightly: "What do you mean?"
Mu Li raised his cold eyes and blocked her hand that was about to be extended: "I don't mean anything, take your hand away, I don't want to say it again."
Xu Yuan put down his hands, his face changed, and he clenched his fists: "Mu Li, if you go to find Lin Qing now, something might happen again. I know that many people are eyeing you covetously now, and they will tell the world if you make the slightest move."
Mu Li thought her words were really funny. Who was the one who caused things to get to this point
He walked a few steps to the door, one hand already on the doorknob and turned it: "So?"
"So you should not do anything now, and consolidate your position first!" Seeing that he could not stop him, Xu Yuan knew that he must be leaving to save Lin Qing.
Shen Yuhe told her yesterday that after her identity was recognized, as long as Mu Li did not do anything excessive in the next few days, the rumors would naturally be refuted. As for Lin Qing, if there were any more rumors, they would say that Mu Li and Lin Qing had secretly divorced a long time ago.
In this way, those who want to use Mu Li's improper behavior to attack him will not gain any advantage.
status
Mu Li sneered when he heard this. This was indeed what the woman in front of him cared about the most: "No one can move from my position."
He holds great power, how could he be overthrown just like those people say? After a few days, who would dare to say a word in front of him after the Liang family is dealt with first
However, Mu Yonghao and Shen Yuhe did not know the reason, and in order to consolidate Mu Li's position, they had to sacrifice Lin Qing.
Thinking of this, Mu Li pushed the door open with a cold face and left. Xu Yuan followed behind him and had no time to catch up. He watched the door slam heavily in front of him.
She looked back at the living room, and suddenly felt bitter. How long had she thought about it, and how much she had paid to get this position and become the hostess here, but why didn't she feel happy at all
As soon as the Mu family made a statement, things did take a turn for the better. The voices that had previously condemned him for this matter became smaller and smaller, and there was a tendency for those scattered forces to waver. At the same time, some people asked Mu Li to make an explanation in person.
Mu Li was indifferent to this. Just because he did not resist the actions of the two elders did not mean that he would accept it happily.
When Mu Li came out of the apartment building, his adjutant arrived just in time. He glared at the adjutant, causing the adjutant's hand to tremble as he saluted: "You reported to me really promptly."
The adjutant said fearlessly: "I just received news that this matter has spread, but it is still very beneficial to the current situation."
At least it can make those noisy forces calm down for a while.
"Has everything been arranged at the Liang family?" Mu Li was too lazy to listen to this matter anymore. Since they wanted to play, he would accompany them to the end.
"Everything is ready. As long as the order is given, all the Liang family's shady deals can be uncovered immediately." The adjutant's voice was a little cold when he said this.
Mu Li narrowed his dark eyes and glanced at the still gloomy sky. A dangerous atmosphere was surging at the edge of the city.
It seemed as if a violent storm was about to hit.
Liang family.
Liang Ruoyi hurriedly left the table after breakfast, and said a few words to her father before leaving. Liang's father had just heard the Mu family's statement and threw the phone hard on the ground.
"I almost found Mu Li's weakness! How could the woman who had a miscarriage be his wife? It must be that old fox Mu Yonghao who tricked me!" Father Liang was furious, with veins bulging in his arms.
Liang Ruoyi took back her steps, as if she heard a key word: "Dad, what did you say?"
She had been focusing on Chen Qudong for a while, and had been keeping Lin Qing locked up for the past few days, so she knew very little about the news from the outside world.
Liang's father snorted coldly, and as he walked away, his servants hurried forward to clean up the broken phone.
Father Liang walked up to Liang Ruoyi, his eyes still filled with anger: "Have you not been watching the news recently? A few days ago, Mu Li revealed that he had an underground lover and had a miscarriage, but this morning, the Mu family actually said that the woman who had a miscarriage was Mu Li's wife. Mu Li's wife is clearly named Lin Qing. Although I have never seen her in person, she is definitely not the one who had a miscarriage!"
He had originally planned to use this incident to destroy Mu Li's prestige, but his plan was disrupted before he could even take action.
Liang Ruoyi's eyes showed a trace of doubt. Lin Qing did not look like she had a miscarriage these days, and Chen Qudong had not mentioned it. But what if the woman who had a miscarriage was Mu Li's wife
"Dad, could you have made a mistake? Mu Li's wife is definitely Lin Qing." Liang Ruoyi was very sure because she had the person in her hands.
"How could I be wrong?" Liang's father said in an unhappy tone. He suppressed his anger in front of his daughter. His eyes were bloodshot and full of hatred. "Whether he has a lover or not, that woman had a miscarriage because of him. If we can seize this point, we can make him lose all his reputation. But now that woman has become his wife, what's the point of having another miscarriage?"
Liang Ruoyi subconsciously tightened her collar. The fingerprints from Mu Li's pinching were still on her neck, so she had to wear high-necked clothes when going out these days.
Despite this, Liang Ruoyi had not told her father what she had done to Lin Qing. Firstly, she did not want to make too much of a fuss, and secondly, she did not want to lose the power to control the situation after falling into her father's hands.
Liang Ruoyi thought about it, and suddenly there was a strange smile in her voice: "Dad means that as long as we can prove that Mu Li's wife is Lin Qing, it will be fine?"
"Of course! This way, we can also give the Mu family a loud slap in the face!" Liang's father put his hands behind his back and did not notice his daughter's expression. He walked back and forth in the living room several times, but could not think of a good solution.
Now that the Mu family has spoken, who else can say anything as long as Xu Yuan doesn't object
Liang Ruoyi understood, and the corners of her red lips curled up, and she turned around and prepared to go out again: "Dad, don't worry, leave this matter to me."
"Do you have a solution?" Liang's father's doubtful voice sounded behind her.
Liang Ruoyi turned around and smiled: "Isn't it just to prove who is Mu Li's wife? This is too easy."
