Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This time, Bei Shuo nodded sincerely. “1 understand. I’ll be careful.”
When the car arrived at the hospital, Liu Ming’s phone rang. “Liu Ming, where is he? Why isn’t he here? Where’s Mu Ci?”
Liu Ming held the cell phone away from his ear. Duan Si’s angry voice came from the cell phone.
Liu Ming glanced at Mu Ci.
Mu Ci took the phone. “It’s me. I’m visiting Grandpa in the hospital.”
Mu Ci hung up the phone and looked at Luo Bing. Luo Bing shrugged. “Fortunately, I left in time.”
Uncle Liu pushed the wheelchair over. Bei Shuo wanted to take over, but Mu Ci pulled her over and let her walk beside him.
Luo Bing put his hands behind his back and said, “Your wheelchair is just a prop, right?”
Mu Ci said calmly, “It can’t get off work for a while.”
Mu Chen had already been in the hospital for more than a month. His explanation to the outside world was that he had a heart attack because of his two grandsons.
Duan Si came a few times and wanted Old Master to go to the Shen Family to intercede. Old Jiang stopped her and said that the doctor did not allow Old Master to meet guests and could not have any more emotional fluctuations. He would convey her intentions to Old Master. When she came again, Old Jiang conveyed Old Master’s intentions: He was too ashamed to go to the Shen Family to intercede.
Mu Ci and Bei Shuo had come once to tell Old Master that Song Nan’s matter had nothing to do with him. Secondly, he and Bei Shuo had moved away. Old Jiang looked helpless.
This was Mu Ci’s second visit since Old Master was hospitalized.
Luo Bing found it unbelievable after hearing Mu Ci’s words. “Aren’t you afraid that Old Master will scold you for being unfilial?”
“I’m unfilial to begin with,” Mu Ci replied calmly.
“Shouldn’t you put on an act and visit more often?” Luo Bing still found it unbelievable.
Mu Ci smiled. “Can you beat your Old Master?”
Luo Bing was silent. He had to admit, “I can’t win.”
Mu Ci looked at the door of the ward that was inches away and said, “Old Master knows that this has nothing to do with me. He just wants me to beg him. As long as 1 agree to his conditions, he will stand up for me and clean up this mess.”
Luo Bing was shocked. “What conditions?”
Mu Ci remained silent.
“How is he going to clean up?”
Mu Ci shook his head.
The door of the ward opened. Old Jiang was not surprised to see them. “Eldest Young Master.”
“How’s Grandpa?” Mu Ci asked.
Old Jiang said respectfully, “Old Master asked me to ask if you still care about him.”
Luo Bing smiled.
Mu Ci touched his nose. “I care. I hope Grandpa can live a long life.”
“Old Master said that he won’t live long if you don’t take over the Mu Family.” Old Jiang, no, Old Master seemed to have predicted his answer.
Only then did Luo Bing know that Old Master Mu’s condition was for Mu Ci to take over the position of the family head.
Mu Ci sighed. “Uncle Jiang, tell Grandpa to stop playing. There’s no turning back now.”
“What if there is? Will you change your mind?” This time, Old Jiang asked this himself.
Mu Ci sighed. “Uncle Jiang—”
Uncle Jiang waved his hand. “Alright, I spoke too much.”
Mu Ci looked at him. “If it weren’t for Bei Shuo, I would be dead now.”
Old Jiang’s expression changed and he glanced at Bei Shuo, who was looking around. “Young Madam, please take Old Master’s pulse.”
“Alright.” Bei Shuo agreed without hesitation. He turned around and said proudly to Mu Ci, “Grandpa doesn’t want to see you, but he wants to see me.”
Mu Ci’s expression changed drastically. He grabbed her and looked at Old Jiang. “Uncle Jiang, Bei Shuo is innocent. Don’t get her involved.”
Old Jiang sighed and said, “Eldest Young Master, how can there be a perfect egg when the nest is overturned? Eldest Young Madam can’t stay out of this since she’s carrying this title.”
He gestured for Bei Shuo to go ahead.
Mu Ci refused to let go of Bei Shuo’s hand.
Bei Shuo patted the back of his hand. “Don’t worry.”
Mu Ci couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
Luo Bing saw it clearly. He pried Mu Ci’s hand away and gestured for Bei Shuo to enter. He raised his voice and said, “What are you doing? Are you afraid that Old Master will persuade Bei Shuo to let go? That’s great. If you let go, I’ll take Bei Shuo away. From now on, our families will be irreconcilable!”
Mu Ci looked at Luo Bing gratefully and smiled bitterly. “These words are useless to my grandfather.”
“Whether it’s useful or not, it’s at least a deterrent,” Luo Bing found a chair and said nonchalantly.
He quite liked to watch the Mu Family’s grandfather and grandson fight. He could always improve by learning.
However, he was also serious. Bei Shuo had to come first at all times. Even his own grandfather couldn’t bully Bei Shuo, let alone Old Master Mu..
