Chapter 749: Don’t Ask Questions You Shouldn’t Be Asking
Just as Li Beinian had said, if they couldn’t hold back and started to make a move at this time, then what they would be able to expose wouldn’t be enough to implicate Lin Ya.
In other words, Li Beinian had saved them this time round, and given them a chance to collaborate with that party.
The human desire is bottomless.
Mu Xichen believed that as long as they wanted more money, these people would definitely seek another collaboration with them.
This time, they already had experience. The next mission could only be more more important and bigger.
Li Beinian felt a little anxious to hear this.
She started thinking about her previous life.
Mu Donglin and Lin Ya’s cooperation would definitely not stop there.
There should be more activities.
After breakfast, Mu Xichen was not willing to stay any longer in the hospital.
The doctor checked his temperature. It had dropped to 37.8 degrees, a big improvement from last night.
After reminding him that he had to come for a drip tomorrow, he discharged the man.
Owing to the possibility that the walls of the hospital had ears, the two did not discuss much about the matter.
After returning home, they shared their thoughts and realized that they thought the same way.
Li Beinian had not slept the entire night. As soon as she got home and her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.
Given that Mu Xichen was unwell too, the two of them slept for a long time.
While she was sleeping peacefully, it was not as peaceful elsewhere.
As the wedding date approached, Lin Kerou felt more and more pressured.
The pressure came from her worries of how others were perceiving her and the rumors on the internet.
What worried her the most was Mu Donglin’s coldness towards her.
It had been three days since her discharge. Apart from the first day, when Mu Donglin came to eat with her, he had spent the rest of his time working in the office.
His excuse was simple and crude: It was the end of the year, the company was busy!
Given this reason, Lin Kerou was unable to say more.
She should be considerate and gentle.
She was supposedly understanding, so she shouldn’t be disrupting his work.
This was what she had always told herself, but the grievance in her heart grew stronger with time.
Looking at her haggard self in the mirror, Lin Kerou couldn’t help but reflect: she had tried all ways and means to marry Brother Donglin, but was it really worthwhile?
Was it worthwhile?
Lin Kerou asked herself again and again, but each time, the answer was different.
“Kerou.” Mu Donglin’s mother, Wu Meiya, walked into the room carrying a freshly-brewed bowl of bird’s nest. “I’ve made you something delicious. Come and try it.”
Lin Kerou looked away from the mirror and towards the door.
Wu Meiya was already more than 50 years old, but because of Mu Che’s years of love and care, her youthfulness had been well-preserved.
Those who did not know better would have thought that she was in her thirties.
Whereas for Lin Kerou herself, she had become increasingly haggard in the past few months.
Lin Kerou subconsciously touched her own face as she walked towards the woman, asking in alarm, “Mom, am I looking worse and worse?”
Wu Meiya looked at the girl’s obviously upset expression and said, “This is what happens when you’re pregnant. That’s why you need more nutrition.”
She picked up the bird’s nest porridge and placed it in front of Lin Kerou. “Donglin seems to be quite busy with work recently. It’s been hard on you. Your wedding day is approaching and it’s almost New Year, hope you understand.”
Lin Kerou smiled and turned her gaze down gently.
Wu Meiya seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, “I’ve read the rumors people have been spreading recently. I believe that you were framed. I know Li Beinian has done many bad things. Don’t worry, I will definitely get Donglin to seek justice for you.”
When Lin Kerou heard this, her eyes were full of sadness. She said, “I’m just afraid that if Brother Donglin were to step in, it would be to help Li Beinian and not me…”
“How would that be possible?” Wu Meiya rebuked her. “Don’t over-think things. Donglin has been busy with work recently, but you’re his wife now. Your well into your pregnancy, so don’t let your thoughts run wild. If the child knows that you’re in a bad mood, it will also be affected. If you don’t take good care of the baby, how could you expect Donglin to treat you well?”
Of course, Lin Kerou understood what Wu Meiya meant.
She was reminding her of her child.
If she did not have this child, would they treat her this well?
Lin Kerou’s heart ached again. Confronted by Wu Meiya’s gaze, she couldn’t help but tear up and start eating obediently.
Wu Meiya looked at Lin Kerou and frowned. “Remember to speak up, don’t keep everything inside. Women are the most sensitive when they’re pregnant. So you mustn’t do this. It’s bad for your health!”
“I know, Mom.” Lin Kerou nodded but did not wish to say more.
Wu Meiya was a little worried. The moment she left the room, she called Mu Donglin.
Mu Donglin seemed to be busy and did not answer the call.
Wu Meiya could only send him a text message: Kerou doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. Don’t stay in the office all day. Whatever it is, she is pregnant with your child now. No matter what, it’s only right for you to be at home with your wife and child. Remember to come home when you get this message!
After about half an hour later, Mu Donglin replied: Got it.
By the time Mu Donglin got home, Lin Kerou was already asleep.
Noticing her even and shallow breathing, Mu Donglin quickly retreated and shut the door again.
Wu Meiya looked at her grown-up son and sighed. “No matter what, Kerou is your wife now. I know you can’t forget that wild lass, but she’s a married woman now. You’re already with Kerou. Regardless whether you have feelings for her or not, you have to fulfill your duty as a husband.”
“Ok, I know,” Mu Donglin replied and went to the study.
Wu Meiya looked at Mu Donglin’s back view for a long time, then sighed.
Upon getting into the study, Mu Donglin picked up his cell phone and called Lin Ya.
Lin Ya picked up almost immediately. Mu Donglin went straight to the point. “The matter is settled.”
“Mu Xichen didn’t play any tricks?” Lin Ya’s calm voice was filled with surprise and a hint of a smile. “This is really unexpected.”
“There are many things beyond your expectations.” Mu Donglin sat down and turned on his computer. “I heard that you’ve already found out where the Rothschild man is. Are you prepared to take action?”
“Ha…” Lin Ya laughed.” Don’t think I don’t know what you’re after. I’ll give you what you deserve. Rothschild is such a huge undertaking. It’s not something you can step into now. Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t be asking. ”
Mu Donglin laughed. “Really? What if I told you that I know where Rothschild’s biological child is?”
