Chapter 544 Decision
At this moment, no matter how much or how miserably Ye Xin cried, no one believed her words.
Liang Zhou’s words had cut off Ye Xin’s escape route.
Everyone was thoroughly shocked. For a moment, it was completely silent.
After a while, a reporter boldly asked, “Ms. Liang, d-do you have any evidence for what you said?”
Liang Zhou had spoken too much and was exhausted. Upon hearing this question, she straightened her back again and weakly said, “Yes, I’ll hand them over to the police. This matter has to be settled in the end. I think it’s only fair to hand it over to the law. I also know that with Mr. Mu Qing’s ability, he’ll find the best lawyer to exonerate him. However, it doesn’t matter. I have done my best. The heavens are watching us. Even if you can escape the law, you can’t escape heaven’s retributions.”
Then, Liang Zhou looked at Ye Xin and said, “Ye Xin, although you stole my husband, as an elder, I still want to give you a piece of advice. A woman can’t go down the wrong path. Sometimes, once you go down the wrong path, there’ll be no turning back. Take me for example. Fortunately, I was pulled back from the precipice, but you, you’re walking closer and closer to it. You chose your own path, and this is the outcome. You can’t blame anyone. Don’t think that just because you have a good-looking face, you can do whatever you want or all the men in the world are yours. Song Ning is beautiful as well, but even if she’s not, with her character, she’ll be loved wherever she goes. Look at you. Although you changed your face to look like Song Ning, Mu Chen saw through you immediately. Don’t blame others. However, your parents are also at fault for your terrible upbringing. It’s really your misfortune.”
Liang Zhou looked at the miserable Ye Xin and smiled.
At this time, the door slammed open, and the police rushed in.
Xiao Yu protected Liang Zhou and pushed the wheelchair to the side.
Everyone watched as Mu Qing, Gao Wen, and Ye Xin were taken away by the police. While the elders of the Mu family whispered among themselves, Ning Zhe looked as though he had been frozen.
The outcome was out of everyone’s expectations.
The reporters were reluctant to leave since the excitement had just begun. Moreover, the remaining questions they had could only be answered by Mu Chen.
Soon enough, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Mu Chen rose to his feet and said, “Today’s farce should’ve opened up everyone’s eyes, right? This little scandal has made a joke out of the Mu family. I have nothing else to say. Those who are innocent are innocent. I’m also innocent. However, due to my negligence, my wife, Song Ning, has suffered a lot. I’ll try my best to make it up to her for the rest of my life.”
This was naturally not enough for the reporters.
“Chairman Mu, Chairman Mu, what do you plan to do with Mr. Mu?” a reporter quickly asked.
“Are you asking if I’m going to be lenient?” Mu Chen cocked an eyebrow. He continued to say, “Back then, my grandmother had chased him out of the family. This means that my relationship with him as father and son had been severed. Over the years, we’re just like passersby in each other’s life. Now that he had gone to such great lengths to harm my wife and son, how can I let it go? I’ve already held back a lot considering my grandmother.”
Everyone was rendered speechless. Indeed, they were not the ones who suffered so what right did they have to plead for leniency on someone else’s behalf?
The elders of the Mu family were still fervently discussed among themselves. They could not come to a conclusion even after a long time. When they heard Mu Chen’s words, they felt uncomfortable again.
A reporter who noticed the unnatural expressions of the elders of the Mu family asked, “Elders, what do you think?”
Second Granduncle Mu said with a dark expression, “No matter what, we’re all part of the Mu family. We’ll discuss this matter in private.”
Clearly, the elders of the Mu family were not giving in so easily.
However, Mu Chen did not mind.
Everyone knew the elders of the Mu family just cared about their reputation. In fact, they did not hold any real power. At most, they had some say regarding family matters. How could they control Mu Chen who had grown wings?
