136 Couple’s Hearts Are Together
Bei Shuo’s eyes lit up and she said with a smile, “I’m just a little worried that you’ll be hurt by your own mother. She almost never considers your feelings. This is what I dislike about her the most. If you don’t mind what she says and does, then she can stay.”
Mu Ci smiled bitterly. “I’m already used to it. If my heart ached before, it’s only numb now. I don’t have any hopes or expectations for her. I’m not surprised by how she treats me. I didn’t understand why she treated me like this as my biological mother. Perhaps she can’t explain it clearly, so I won’t dwell on this problem anymore.”
Bei Shuo leaned forward and planted a light kiss on his forehead. “That’s for the best. I don’t want to think about why my parents are so devoted to their adopted daughter. Even though I’m their biological daughter, they’re not willing to accept me at all. That’s not our problem. We can’t be at odds with ourselves because of others’ injustice to us.”
Mu Ci was shocked. He had never thought of such a simple logic.
Bei Shuo heaved a sigh of relief. “My master said that a person only has a few decades in their life. Aside from the first 10 years when they can’t make a decision for themselves, and the next 10 years when they’re old and can’t be themselves, there’s not much left. Therefore, the most important thing in life is not to make things difficult for yourself. You can’t make things difficult for yourself with others.”
Mu Ci smiled and suddenly felt better. “Alright, then let those who make things difficult for us experience the feeling of being in a difficult position!”
Bei Shuo smiled slyly. “Second Senior Brother said that if people don’t provoke me, I’ll do good every day. If people provoke me, their family will be wiped out! Third Senior Brother said that the world is dangerous. If it doesn’t work, we’ll retreat. The most important thing in a person’s life is to be happy and carefree. Anything that makes it uncomfortable proves that it’s not worth it. It’s meaningless! Brother, what do you think?”
Mu Ci nodded. “Very philosophical. Sounds like your Second Senior Brother. What does your Third Senior Brother do?”
Bei Shuo shook his head. “I don’t know. In any case, they can support themselves and will definitely live happily. There’s no need to worry about them! Let’s worry about ourselves first! Bei Le is a person with a lot of evil ideas. She is different in front of others. Brother, you have to be careful!”
“When I first returned to the Bei Family, Bei Le committed suicide several times, scaring them so much that they almost chased me out. If not for the sudden engagement with the Mu Family, I would have been kicked out by Bei Le. So don’t be bewitched by her appearance. If she comes to seduce you, don’t fall for it!”
Bei Shuo voiced her concerns directly. Other than seduction, she couldn’t think of anything else Bei Le could do.
This made Mu Ci happy. He pinched her chin and smiled. “Our Bei Shuo is jealous now?”
Bei Shuo nodded. “Of course. If other women covet my husband, of course I won’t be willing. I’ll be on guard!”
Mu Ci laughed. The gloominess in his heart had mostly dissipated.
“If I’m right, Mu En is really related to Bei Le, then it’s very likely that Mu En was the one who instigated Bei Le to cause trouble at home.”
Only then did Bei Shuo remember. “By the way, why did Grandpa leave in a huff?”
Mu Ci’s expression was a little strange. He said calmly, “Grandpa wanted to announce to the public that I was the successor of the Mu Family, but I rejected him. I recommended Mu En to Grandpa, but he didn’t agree. I didn’t think he was angry at that time. He made Mrs. Tian and the rest think that he left because he was angry. He probably did it on purpose for me to see. Now that Mother and the rest are moving in, don’t coax Grandpa back for now. Let him be first.”
Bei Shuo widened her eyes in shock as she looked at Mu Ci. “Will this work? Won’t Grandpa become really angry? He’s been getting on in years. Getting angry isn’t good for his health!”
“If Grandpa stays, he’ll be really angry when he sees them messing around. My mother has never been a sensible person who will be anxious for others,” Mu Ci reminded her.
Bei Shuo was speechless. That was true.
“What about Grandpa?” Bei Shuo was worried.
Mu Ci said, “It’s okay. He has a family doctor by his side. Go and see him when you’re free. If he doesn’t come back, he naturally won’t be angry. It won’t be too late to pick him up after we send these people downstairs away.”
It made sense. Bei Shuo nodded.
Now, they had to think of a way to deal with the people downstairs!
