Chapter 624: Chapter 0624: Whoever Causes the Mu Family to Die, Will Pay Dearly
For a moment, Ye Xunhuan felt as if his heart were overturned, filled with complex emotions.
With other women, he could straightforwardly tell them he had a wife as a way of being upfront, which would lessen the pressure on him, but Su Guyan was different from other women.
This woman had made many, many sacrifices for him.
It filled Ye Xunhuan’s heart with an indescribable sense of guilt, especially since Su Guyan already had a place in his heart!
Just as Tang Yurou had said, if there was someone who could shake Qiu Ruoxi’s position, it would definitely be Su Guyan!
And now, Su Guyan suddenly asked, "Your wife is Qiu Ruoxi, isn’t she?"
This left Ye Xunhuan at a complete loss for words.
She had given so much and never asked for anything in return, just quietly standing by, content if he was happy.
Who could know the depths of the bitterness behind that?
"Gu Yan, I..."
"I didn’t mean anything else," Su Guyan said softly. "You should be good to Miss Qiu!"
Tang Yurou had previously informed Su Guyan that Qiu Ruoxi was Ye Xunhuan’s wife. Su Guyan had already decided what to do in her heart, and now telling this to Ye Xunhuan wasn’t about fighting for him!
It was because she understood Ye Xunhuan, she didn’t want to cause any rift between him and Qiu Ruoxi because of herself, leading to them ending up as strangers, nor did she desire to cause any psychological pressure for Ye Xunhuan because of her own sake!
She didn’t wish to see such an outcome, she just wanted to see Ye Xunhuan well.
Therefore, she spoke out, making everything clear.
"I don’t want you to quarrel with Miss Qiu because of me, nor do I wish for there to be any estrangement between you two. Miss Qiu is a good girl!" Su Guyan said earnestly. "She suits you well!"
As she spoke these words, Su Guyan’s heart was filled with bitterness and pain.
In this world, which woman who loves a man doesn’t want to marry him, become his wife, appear brightly in front of others, let everyone know about her?
No woman doesn’t want status; everyone desires it!
After all, without proper status, things don’t feel right!
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many mistresses striving to rise at any cost.
Su Guyan too wanted to marry Ye Xunhuan, wanted to be his wife, wanted to appear openly before everyone.
Even now, she still wanted this, but she couldn’t!
She had been married to Mu Tiange, an unchangeable fact, well-known to all, even though she had never been with Mu Tiange in that way.
But others wouldn’t ask about that, they would only say that Su Guyan used to be Mu Tiange’s wife.
And if she married Ye Xunhuan, people would say she was a homewrecker, and they would also talk about Ye Xunhuan.
None of this was what Su Guyan wanted to see.
Moreover, Ye Xunhuan’s status was different from the old days.
And the marriage between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi was probably not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"Gu Yan..."
"Although I can’t be your wife, if you don’t mind, I will always stay by your side!" Su Guyan looked at Ye Xunhuan and asked softly, "Would you mind that?"
Will you despise me?
Gazing at Su Guyan’s pallid complexion and those somewhat urgent eyes, Ye Xunhuan heard Su Guyan’s gentle voice resonate in his ears.
Something tender within Ye Xunhuan’s heart felt touched as if by something, a slight pain followed, and then he hastily shook his head, saying, "If you don’t despise me, how could I ever despise you!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan embraced Su Guyan once again, his face at this moment filled with gentleness.
Being held once more in Ye Xunhuan’s arms, Su Guyan’s face was filled with a blissful smile.
At this moment, her dream had finally come true, she and he were together again.
Even though she couldn’t become his wife, being able to stay by his side and partake in his future was, for Su Guyan, already an enormous blessing.
......
Time flew by like a fleeting steed, passing swiftly, and in the blink of an eye three days had passed. Su Guyan’s wounds were mostly healed, and her delicate face was no longer as pale as before but was flush with health.
Three days were neither too long nor too short.
But within these three days, the whole of Jinmen was in uproar, as one after another, members of the Mu family were involved in accidents, and the drivers all turned themselves in without attempting to flee. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
At the same time, many members within the Mu family’s institutional framework were jailed one by one on various charges, leaving the Mu family without any of its former prosperity and descending from a first-rate family to a second-rate one!
If not for Mu Yingting holding on, the Mu family would have likely fallen even further to third-rate status.
However, burdened by the recent events concerning the family, Mu Yingting had taken to his bed, stricken with illness.
Mu Yingting was the family’s pillar. Now that he was bedridden, it caused the already devastatingly hit Mu family to plunge into an abyss.
If Mu Yingting were to fall, the Mu family might very well dissipate into smoke and ashes at once.
It was indeed a case of misfortune raining down upon an ill-fated house!
The tragic plight of the Mu family had many sighing in despair, remembering their former glory; yet now they had succumbed to such a state, how could one not feel a bitter sadness?
While people sighed, they were also curious. Whom had the Mu family offended—a major figure, or a superpower family—that would want to obliterate them this thoroughly?
Before long, as people started to inquire, learning it was Qin Rumeng’s doing sent shivers down their spines!
How had the Mu family offended her to inflict such heavy blows?
One must know, Qin Rumeng, notwithstanding her past domineering ways comparable to a crab, never went so blatantly against anyone. At most, she would slap you a couple of times, humiliate you to the point of becoming a laughingstock, but she had never committed such cruel acts before.
What on earth was happening now?
No one could find out. To know the answer, one would have to ask Qin Rumeng herself, but who would dare to question her?
After discovering that it was Qin Rumeng pulling the strings, everyone’s hearts trembled, and they couldn’t help but silently lament for the Mu family in their hearts.
In their view, if Qin Rumeng had made her move, and she really wanted to bring down the Mu family, then the Mu family was finished!
Within the Mu family, Mu Yingting no longer had his usual healthy complexion; he now looked like an old man nearing the end of his years, his entire being exuding a desolate air.
"Qin Rumeng, the Qin family, you are ruthless indeed, aiming to put my Mu family to death!" Mu Yingting, with sunken eyes and a husky voice, roared like a beast: "Since you wish to see my Mu family dead, then I will make you lose a piece of flesh!"
The Mu family was a first-rate family, after all, even though it couldn’t confront the Qin family or Qin Rumeng head-on!
But that didn’t mean they had no foundation or that they could be slaughtered at will. Mu Yingting just hadn’t expected Qin Rumeng to act so swiftly, striking like thunder, not giving him any time to respond!
