Chapter 306: Did You Really Sleep with Mr. Mu?
When Li Beinian came out, almost half an hour had passed.
Mu Xichen went out to buy breakfast and was just laying it on the table.
Not war away, he placed her bag and cell phone on a table.
Her phone had been charged and it was turned off.
“You found it? That’s fast.” Li Beinian went to take her phone. When she turned it on, she saw a lot of unopened text messages.
The strange thing was that not only did Mu Donglin message her, the Li family, Mu family, and many other unknown people messaged her.
She saw around thirty messages, so she opened up the messages from those she was familiar with.
Li Xueqing: [I heard you spent the night out. Did you have an affair?]
Lousy dad: [Call me when your phone is on!]
Stepmother: [Nian Nian, I heard that you ran into trouble. Your dad is very worried about you. When you see this, call me back!]
Auntie Mu: [Nian Nian, I believe you’re not that type of person. When you come back, visit us and explain the misunderstandings.]
Mu Donglin: [Don’t forget that you’re my fiancèe!]
…
Li Beinian was shocked. She was in no mood to read the other messages from strangers.
She looked at her missed calls and saw that her grandpa had tried to call her about five times.
She immediately called her grandpa. Very quickly, someone answered. It was Aunt Jiang.
“Miss?” Aunt Jiang’s voice was a little uncertain. Very soon, she lowered voice. “Where did you sleep last night?”
Li Beinian felt a little guilty. After some thought, she asked, “Aunt Jiang, how is Grandpa?”
“Seriously, child.” Aunt Jiang sounded anxious. “He’s okay.”
In fact, he was not okay. His emotions were a mess!
She didn’t know what he was thinking. After he heard that Li Beinian spent the night at Mu Xichen’s place, he was not very happy.
With a wave of his hand, he commented. “If Nian Nian likes it, then let her go!”
Aunt Jiang was anxious and quickly continued the call with Li Beinian.
Of course, she did not convey the old man’s sarcasm. In a low voice, she said, “Girls should be careful of their actions. You have a marriage contract with Young Master Mu. Now, the gossip is spreading like wildfire and everyone is saying that you’re together with Second Young Master Mu and is two-timing Young Master Mu!”
This matter was not confined within the two families.
People who should not know about it also found out.
Aunt Jiang was so anxious that she couldn’t fall asleep. At least, she received a call from her.
When Li Beinian heard about it, her heart sank and she looked at the breakfast that Mu Xichen prepared.
Mu Xichen also gazed at her calmly.
Li Beinian asked, “Where did you hear this from?”
“Did you really sleep with Mr. Mu?”
“Rubbish!” Li Beinian exclaimed angrily. “Since when? I was injured, so I didn’t go back as I didn’t want you to worry. That’s why I stayed with him for a night!”
She thought that no one would know!
If she knew this would be the outcome, she wouldn’t have come at all!
When Aunt Jiang heard that, she calmed down, but after she heard the explanation, she was worried again. “People will still talk! Those eight aunts can insult you to death. Don’t underestimate them. No matter what, you should come back and let Grandpa take you to the Mu Family to explain everything. Your reputation is still important!”
Li Beinian sighed and answered, “I got it. I’ll go back now.”
…
Hanging up, Li Beinian glared at Mu Xichen. “Is it you? Now the entire world thinks I slept with you!”
Mu Xichen replied, “We’re innocent.”
“Please!” Li Beinian scoffed. “In their eyes, we weren’t innocent a long time ago!”
