Chapter 851: Engagement 32
Looking at Shen Xin with an expression of indifference and even a hint of innocence, Mu Yi’s anger was ignited as he stared at Shen Xin with a cold gaze, speaking word by word.
"Tian Tian and Bai Chenyao being together was no secret even two years ago, and now bringing up Tian Tian’s overnight absence as an issue, huh!"
With a sneer, Mu Yi stared at Shen Xin mockingly and spoke.
"Tian Tian just returned from abroad a few days ago, and already there are endless troubles at home. If Tian Tian continues to stay at home, being deliberately provoked by those with ill intentions, I’m afraid not only our Mu Family will be besieged by the media, but the Kangyun Group might directly declare bankruptcy!"
Perhaps Mu Yi’s words were too harsh, or maybe they struck a nerve in Shen Xin’s heart, and her face instantly turned pale.
Mu Qinghan, who emerged from the study, happened to hear Mu Yi’s words and frowned immediately.
"Mu Yi!"
"You are husband and wife, how can you speak to Shen Xin like this?"
Hearing this, Mu Yi’s face was full of ridicule and mockery.
"Husband and wife?"
With a cold smile, Mu Yi added coldly.
"Is she worthy?"
As Mu Yi’s words fell, Shen Xin’s face turned even paler.
However, when Mu Yi’s gaze looked over, Shen Xin had already regained her indifferent expression, as if she hadn’t heard anything, as if whatever Mu Yi said was completely irrelevant to her.
"Dad, I was just stating the facts. Tian Tian hasn’t returned for two nights and left with Bai Chenyao. After all, he’s unmarried, and she’s unmarried. This is not good for Tian Tian’s reputation."
Mu Qinghan listened, frowned slightly, and nodded.
"What you said is true; staying out all night is ultimately not right!"
Mu Haiyang listened and quickly picked up the topic.
"Grandpa, during these days Tian Tian has been at the Mu Family’s old house, has there been a single day she truly enjoyed the joy of family togetherness?"
"Every day she’s either met with cold eyes or faced with all sorts of suspicions and doubts, even having to handle the so-called rumors of snatching her sister’s fiancé. If I were Tian Tian, I wouldn’t stay in this house for even a minute!"
After Mu Haiyang finished speaking, Mu Qinghan’s face turned livid, his gaze extremely sharp as it shot towards him.
"Haiyang!"
Seeing the old man reprimand Mu Haiyang, Old Madam Mu felt a bit relieved in her heart.
She smiled lightly, unable to resist adding a little more.
"I say, old man, you should see it clearly now—what kind of character your good grandson and that so-called little granddaughter have!"
"They were clearly in the wrong first, yet they claim they can’t stay at home any longer!"
"Even if it’s uncomfortable staying here, this is their home. But in their hearts, do they consider this place their home?"
One must admit, Mrs. Mu La’s final words pierced Mu Qinghan’s heart.
His face, already livid, darkened further.
His gaze towards Mu Haiyang carried undisguised disappointment and blame.
Looking at Mu Haiyang, something fierce flashed in his eyes. At the same time, he glanced quickly at Old Madam Mu, who was enjoying the spectacle, and smiled coldly.
"But has anyone ever considered why Tian Tian can’t stay in this home?"
"After being away for over twenty years, Tian Tian’s longing for a home is deeper than anyone’s. Yet even so, she still chooses to stay outside. Why is that?"
Mu Haiyang’s words were like a heavy stone, pressing directly on Mu Qinghan’s heart, even making his breathing a bit heavier.
With a sharp gaze, he scanned everyone in the living room seriously. After a while, Mu Qinghan looked at Mu Haiyang and spoke slowly.
"The marriage between the Mu Family and the Bai Family, everything will be based on the marriage contract! After the engagement banquet is over, let Tian Tian come back to live. For now, let her stay at your apartment!"
