Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You

Chapter 113: His Voice Was Not Loud But It Was Extremely Intimidating

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yuan Tangzhong scanned his surroundings before suddenly saying, “From my perspective, this case isn’t such a simple matter. As Mu Chenyan currently holds the status of the wife of the Yuan Family’s eldest grandson, I’m worried that this murder will affect the Yuan Family’s reputation if it isn’t meticulously investigated.”

When Yuan Tian heard this, she felt unhappy. Second Uncle’s words insinuated that Mu Chenyan was sitting here without being completely absolved of her crimes.

“Second Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with Mu Chenyan! Despite being the Yuan Family’s granddaughter-in-law, no one spoke on her behalf when she suffered for two years. What exactly is the point of each and every one of you pretending to be so grand toward the public when this is the way you actually behave?”

Yuan Tangzhong was evidently furious when he heard Yuan Tian’s scathingly criticism. He briefly glared at Yuan Tian before he turned to Yuan Tangshuo and said, “You should properly discipline your daughter!” Yuan Tangshuo was apparently more lenient than Lu Shan. He shook his head at Lu Shan, signaling for her not to scold Yuan Tian again.

Meanwhile, Yuan Ran silently reveled in their misery from the sidelines. When she saw that Yuan Tian always getting into trouble, she realized that it made her look more obedient by comparison.

She secretly smiled at her sister-in-law Wen Ya who sat opposite her and said, “The daughters-in-law and the adopted daughters of the Yuan Family are better received by Old Mistress than Tian Tian! Well I guess that’s expected since she persistently tries to get close to Mu Chenyan... birds of a feather really do flock together...”

Wen Ya was not usually a talkative or quarrelsome person, so even as Yuan Ran judged her cousins in front of her, she merely smiled as her gaze landed on Mu Chenyan.

As someone who held the same ranking as her, Wen Ya’s gaze was sorrowful and full of sympathy.

If that incident had not occurred two years ago, it was possible that Chenyan would have been the daughter-in-law with the highest rank in the household.

Besides, Yuan Tian was only stating the truth.

Neither Yuan Tangzhong’s position in the political circle nor Yuan Xuan’s prestige in the business world could prevent Mu Chenyan from being falsely imprisoned for two years. Moreover, they were now worried that she would affect the Yuan Family’s reputation. These men were really terrible!

Yuan Xuan was silent, it was as though ink had been spilled into his dark eyes.

Meanwhile, the maid had arranged their cutlery and food after placing it on the table. The little copper pot was already filled with glowing charcoal and the flames reflected off the metal and onto everyone’s faces, giving them a reddish glow.

He took his chopsticks and elegantly picked up a few pieces of shrimp before flatly saying, “We came here to accompany our grandmother for dinner tonight. We can gossip another time.”

His voice was not loud but it was extremely intimidating.

His piercingly cold pupils were devoid of any emotion or color. They resembled a dark abyss that engulfed everyone’s misplaced courage to continue speaking.

This was not up for discussion; it was an order.

Everyone, including Yuan Tangzhong and Yuan Tangshuo, went quiet as Yuan Xuan likewise continued to enjoy his meal. However, unrest was stirring in Yuan Tangzhong’s heart.

He did not appear dissatisfied, but his heart was in turmoil.

It already seemed like a common occurrence for Yuan Xuan to boss people around despite being part of the younger generation of the Yuan Family. Furthermore, he was one of the younger boys among the juniors.

The Yuan Family had always been clear-cut regarding the order of seniority between the seniors and juniors. However, Yuan Xuan had never been restrained because his father had been similarly overbearing when he was alive...

This little b*stard was all grown up! He was no longer the confused and ignorant youth from the past.

Yuan Tangzhong felt faintly remorseful for belittling his nephew in the past.

On the other hand, Yuan Xuan’s gaze lingered on Yuan Tangzhong for half a minute before the corners of his mouth curled up faintly. He exhaled before greeting his uncle with a mysterious smile...

Yuan Zhe spotted Yuan Xuan’s gaze meet his father’s.

Although Yuan Xuan was Eldest Son’s child, he was younger than most of the younger generation. It would be fine if he swaggered around outside, but this was an autocratic family reunion. Nonetheless, Yuan Zhe looked at his grandmother and noticed that she did not seem to have any intentions of stopping him. Conversely, she was allowing him to speak.

Yuan Zhe clenched his fist under the table as his breathing became uneven. Even Wen Ya who was beside him could sense his abnormally murderous aura.

However, Old Mistress did not notice these hidden signs.

She was busy racking her brains about why Yuan Xuan’s attitude towards Qinger’s murder had always been so ambiguous.

He had requested for Qinger’s body to be buried in the Yuan Family’s cemetery from the very beginning. However, she had never gotten a clear answer when she asked him if Qinger’s child was truly his...
