Chapter 891 - 934: Buried Together
And what was the outcome? It turned out to be merely his wishful thinking and a fool’s dream!
Knowing that Mu Rufeng was emotionally agitated and unable to accept this reality, Ye Anxin didn’t bother with him. Instead, she turned to Mu Beiting and said warmly, "Uncle, let Mu Rufeng and his mother go! After all, they were just used by Ruan Zhitong! Besides, Mu Rufeng has been quite nice to me during this time and hasn’t treated me poorly! He’s just been living in the past world all this time! Today, I made things clear with him, I believe one day he’ll understand!"
Seeing Ye Anxin generously plead for her and Mu Rufeng, Mu’s mother looked at Ye Anxin in disbelief.
Ye Anxin didn’t look at Mu’s mother but continued speaking to Mu Beiting, "Uncle, no matter what you say, they’re your sister-in-law and nephew, let’s give the old man some face and let them go! You also don’t want your eldest brother to have no descendants, do you?"
Now that their relationship with the old man had just eased, sometimes she would still go out for tea with the old man, and bring little Chu Yi along to let him see!
She didn’t want the hard-won easing of relations between her uncle and the old man to become strained again because of Mu Rufeng and his mother.
Mu Beiting swept his cold eyes over the desperate Mu Rufeng, then glanced at Mu’s mother staring at Ye Anxin! His eyes flashed slightly as he instructed the bodyguard beside him, "Take them away, escort them from here, and never allow them to come back in this lifetime!"
"Yes!" The bodyguard nodded, dragging the ashen-faced Mu Rufeng and his mother out.
"Ye Anxin, thank you, thank you!" It wasn’t until they were dragged to the door that Mu’s mother reacted and didn’t forget to loudly thank Ye Anxin.
She really hadn’t expected Ye Anxin to repay evil with good! Not only did she not kick them when they were down, but also pleaded for them in front of Mu Beiting!
She was such a good person, no wonder her son had been pining for her for more than a decade!
Unfortunately, she realized it too late! It was too late now; there was no remedy for regret! She would never have a daughter-in-law as good as Ye Anxin again!
With Ye Shan dealt with, and Mu Rufeng and his mother taken away, there was suddenly only Ruan Zhitong left in the entire mansion!
Ruan Zhitong sat on the ground, her eyes fixed intently on Mu Beiting, with a self-mocking smile, "Now that they’ve been dealt with? Is it my turn? Go ahead, how do you plan to deal with me?"
Ye Anxin felt a twinge of unease in her heart seeing Ruan Zhitong so calm under the circumstances!
This woman never fights battles she can’t win! Now that she can be so composed and calm, she must have figured out a backup plan for herself!
But, didn’t Uncle say he had already cut off all her escape routes?
Mu Beiting coldly glanced at the bodyguard beside him, expressionless, "Ruin her face and voice, send her to prison, and order the prison guards to take good ’care’ of her!"
Ye Anxin certainly understood what Mu Beiting meant by ’care’!
Su Yuexin ended up like that in prison, more or less due to Mu Beiting! When Ruan Zhitong goes in, her fate won’t be any better than Su Yuexin’s!
And that kind of torment is a hundred times, a thousand times more painful than death!
Ye Anxin could understand Mu Beiting’s words; as smart as Ruan Zhitong naturally understood too!
Regarding her upcoming fate, Ruan Zhitong wasn’t panicked at all. Instead, she looked at Mu Beiting and sneered, "Mu Beiting, we have so many years of love, and you’re willing to treat me like this? For you, I’ve not even looked at another man all these years! Is this how my waiting gets rewarded?"
Mu Beiting’s expression was indifferent, expressionless, "Dare to touch my woman, you should have thought of this consequence!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Zhitong couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Haha... yes! Ye Anxin is your woman, your most beloved woman! I left you for six years, and when I came back, you unhesitatingly married another woman! But Ye Anxin left you for five years, and you waited, obsessed and unrepentant, for five years! I don’t understand, is my relationship with you even less significant than yours with her? I’ve loved you so deeply, sacrificed so much for you!"
Seeing Ruan Zhitong blaming everything on Mu Beiting, as if Mu Beiting was the heartbreaker, rage filled Ye Anxin and she resentfully said, "Since you keep saying you like Uncle, then why did you sleep with another man more than ten years ago? Don’t forget, you betrayed Uncle first, not the other way around!"
Faced with Ye Anxin’s accusation, Ruan Zhitong abruptly ceased her laughter, her sharp eyes glaring fiercely at Ye Anxin, gritting her teeth, "What do you know? How much do you know about the affairs between us? Stop pretending you’re so pure here! Let me tell you, I, Ruan Zhitong, am more noble and pure than you, Ye Anxin! Your filthy body doesn’t deserve Mu Beiting! In this world, only I am worthy of him!"
"You...!" Ruan Zhitong’s words pierced Ye Anxin’s sore spot, her pretty face turning pale, and she bit her lip tightly, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Yes! What right did she have to speak against Ruan Zhitong! How was she better than Ruan Zhitong! Was her body any cleaner than Ruan Zhitong’s?
Seeing Ye Anxin’s face turn pale, Mu Beiting’s expression darkened, his eyes tightly knitted, and he impatiently said to the bodyguards, "What are you standing here for? Do I have to do it myself!"
"Yes!" Mu Beiting’s shout startled the bodyguards, and they quickly bent down to grab Ruan Zhitong.
However, before they could even touch her, she stopped them with a cry, "Don’t touch me with your dirty hands!"
Her shout stalled their hands reflexively.
Taking advantage of this, Ruan Zhitong looked at Mu Beiting and sneered, "Mu Beiting, you care about her so much, don’t you? Just a word, and you’re distressed? Eager to torture me? Let me tell you, I won’t let you succeed! If you dare to touch me, I will make everyone here die with me!"
Mu Beiting raised an eyebrow, with a half-smile, "Are you threatening me?"
Ruan Zhitong looked at Mu Beiting fearlessly, boldly and confidently, "Yes! I’m threatening you! I know that since you dared to bring things to light today, I know that the spies I placed around you have all been eradicated! Those people, I can’t rely on them for anything anymore! But, you also don’t want everyone in this room to die with me, right?"
As her words fell, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but feel a shock in her heart, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean by everyone in this room dying with you?"
Ruan Zhitong sneered, "What do I mean? Just the literal meaning! Anyway, I can’t have Mu Beiting, and I’ve already been living a life worse than death. It doesn’t matter what happens in the second half of my life! But the people here have served you for so many years, can you bear to see them be buried with someone like me?"
