Chapter 126: I Have Falsely Accused You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Grandpa, you should not simply talk about something without any proof,” Mu Tangxue said to Grandpa Mu who was currently very emotional. She said, “Actually, I came here today to say goodbye to you. After all, you have raised me for so many years. Although you did not do your best, I still appreciate your hard work. After I join the Shen family, I will still remember your kindness.”
“Remember our kindness? What a joke! Do you think you can have a happy life in the Shen family after all that had happened and what you did to us? If the Shen family does not know who you are, I am glad to tell them your story!” Grandpa Mu was not going to let Mu Tangxue go easily.
She had no chance of leaving the Mu family behind without paying the price for her deeds, making his son lose everything, his family, his money and his glory.
“Grandpa, I do not belong here, I am a Shen. Do you really have to be like this? I have to return to my real family sooner or later.”
“Hmph.” Grandpa Mu snorted. He tapped on the floor angrily with his cane and said, “There is nothing wrong going to the Shen family, but you have to explain what really happened to your grandmother.”
“We cannot be clear of it already, can we?” Mu Tangxue sounded helpless. Then, she said, “There is nothing I can do if you do not believe me.”
No matter how hard she tried to hide it, people could still sense her arrogance when she talked, as if nobody could deal with her any longer.
“As for Mommy’s case, I will tell the police everything that I know to help them to solve the case!”
“Don’t you dare to talk about this! You planned it!” yelled Papa Mu, pointing at Mu Tangxue.
“And now you want me to take all the blame.”
“I planned it? I was asleep when the fire started. I didn’t even know how it started. And I wanted to save Mommy that time, but my door was locked. And you say I planned all this? Uncle Mu, who will believe it when you say aloud?”
Papa Mu wanted to grab Mu Tangxue when he heard her but was stopped by the bodyguards.
“Mr. Mu, please restrain yourself.”
“Can the Shen family really accept this evil lady?” asked Papa Mu. He was panting angrily.
“Our duty is just to take care of Miss Mu’s safety. We have no right to get involved with other things.”
With the protection of the four bodyguards, of course Mu Tangxue could disregard the father and son of the Mu family. So, she acted even more arrogantly.
Although Papa Mu was furious, he could not do anything to Mu Tangxue.
“By the way, Mommy told me that you must have something to do with what happened to Mr. Shen,” said Mu Tangxue. She was fearless when she had the bodyguards. She did not have to be afraid of being attacked. It felt so thrilling.
She had never had the chance to be so lofty in front of these people. She had always been the one who tried to lower her voices and please them. Now, finally, she could ignore their faces altogether.
When Papa Mu heard what Mu Tangxue said, he was shocked. Then, he got angry out of guilt. He shouted, “If you keep on talking nonsense, I will rip your mouth off!”
“You can’t.”
Mu Tangxue had been acting docile for more than ten years living with this man. When she saw his reaction, she could almost be sure that he had got something to do with what happened to Shen Jianchuan.
“If you are related to this incident, the Shen family will not let you go. So, now that I am going to the Shen family, I will not be a daughter of the Mu family again. I do not wish to have anything to do with the Mu family ever again.”
Then, Mu Tangxue turned around and was ready to leave. Suddenly, Grandpa Mu called her.
“Xue’er…”
“What?”
“You will regret this one day.”
“No, I won’t!”
After that, she marched out of the house of the Mu family proudly. She was leaving the Mu family that she hated for good.
In the future, she would be a lady of the Shen family. She did not need to live a humble life anymore.
Seeing Mu Tangxue leaving the house, Grandpa Mu stumbled a few steps backward. He hit his chest several times and said, “I was blind. I was totally blind!”
As for Papa Mu, he was thinking about how to keep his secret. He must not let Mu Tangxue reveal the truth.
So, he did the most selfish and crazy thing. He rushed to his father, grabbed his neck and said, “Father, give me your card. Now!”
“What are you talking about?”
“If that slut is really going to report me, I can only hide. I need money.”
Papa Mu’s eyes were red. He shouted again, “Give me the money!”
“Are you crazy?” shouted Grandpa Mu.
“Yes, I am crazy. I have already been crazy for a long time,” replied Papa Mu. He put more force in his hands. Then, he asked, “Tell me. Where is the card?”
Grandpa Mu had no choice and gave him the card. He had never thought that his son could treat him this way.
After Papa Mu got what he wanted, he escaped.
And Grandpa Mu was left alone in the house, on the floor, lying helplessly.
When Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei reached the house, they saw the door wide open. They quickly got into the house. In the living room, they saw an old man sitting on the floor, crying miserably and pitifully.
Upon seeing Mu Qiqi, Grandpa Mu reached out for her and said, “Qiqi, I have falsely accused you! I was wrong!”
Mu Qiqi teared up and walked toward Grandpa Mu. Then, she and Su Zipei helped him up.
“Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Grandpa Mu looked at Mu Qiqi apologetically. His face was still wet with tears.
Grandpa Mu was no longer the domineering man. He was not the calculating person anymore. There was only guilt on his face. He hated himself for putting his trust in the wrong people.
“Qiqi…”
“Grandpa…”
“You have nothing to do with your grandmother’s passing. It was Mu Tangxue. I was mistaken. I did you wrong.” Grandpa Mu was crying very sadly. For a moment, he looked like a child.
When Mu Qiqi had finally got her innocence back and an apology, she felt relieved.
After all, Grandpa Mu did not abuse her unlike Papa Mu. He only started to treat her badly after believing that she was the one who caused his wife’s death.
“It is impossible for me not to be angry with you,” said Mu Qiqi.
“Naturally,” replied Grandpa Mu. Then, he said, “Now I am learning my lesson for trusting the wrong people. Serves me right.”
“Grandpa, you do not have to be sad actually. You still have two other sons. You are getting old, you don’t have to be too hard on yourself.”
“Do you hate me, Qiqi?”
“I did. When you did not believe in me. But you are not the one I hate the most, because I know who caused this.”
“I understand now. But the scum has taken away all my savings!” said Grandpa Mu angrily.
“Call Uncle Xiao to freeze the account. This is the only way for now.”
