143 Gentle Understanding Lady
Bei Shuo was about to retort when Mu Ci stopped her.
“Mrs. Tian, didn’t the family prepare dinner for the guests?” Mu Ci said coldly.
Mrs. Tian hurriedly said, “Young Master, the food has been prepared, but Madam wants to wait for you and Young Madam to come back to eat together.”
“Then put out the food,” Mu Ci instructed.
“Yes, Young Master!” Mrs. Tian felt as if she had been pardoned.
Bei Shuo wasn’t hungry. She quietly pushed Mu Ci’s wheelchair to the dining room.
Duan Si’s face darkened. She came to the dining table and glanced coldly at Mu Ci and Bei Shuo. She said to Mrs. Tian, “Why didn’t you bring up the gifts that others sent to your Young Master? What are you doing? Do you want to embezzle Master’s things?”
Mrs. Tian hurriedly brought a food box over and placed it on the dining table.
“What is this?” Mu Ci asked calmly.
Mrs. Tian glanced at Duan Si, whose face was as dark as ink, and said softly, “These are snacks sent by Miss Mu Yao. She said that she specially went to the Jiuze House to queue up to buy them for you and Young Madam.”
Only then did Mu Ci and Bei Shuo understand where Duan Si’s temper came from.
Duan Si took in their expressions and said coldly, “You’re indeed a good son I gave birth to. It’s fine if you never took me seriously, but you actually betrayed me to this extent! Who is she and who are you? Do you still have me in your eyes as your Mom? You actually interacted with them so openly behind my back. Mu Ci, are you considerate? Has your heart been eaten by a dog?”
Tears streamed down Duan Si’s face as she cried uncontrollably.
Mu Ci sat quietly in the wheelchair, not moving.
However, Bei Shuo realized that the veins on his hand that was holding the armrest were bulging.
She reached out and covered Mu Ci’s hand, transferring the warmth of her palm to him.
Song Nan glared at Mu Ci and went forward to comfort Duan Si. “Auntie, you’re making Mu Ci feel so aggrieved. Mu Yao sent this, not Mu Ci. What can Mu Ci do if Mu Yao wants to express goodwill to Mu Ci?”
“I believe that if Mu Ci was at home, he would definitely reject it. That’s why Mu Yao sent it over when he wasn’t at home. You can’t scold Mu Ci over such a small matter. He’s your biological son. Even if you want to take it out on him, you can’t just do it without any care for his feelings!”
Song Nan coaxed Duan Si gently.
These words were heartfelt, making Duan Si’s emotions visibly calm down.
Bei Shuo couldn’t help but admire her.
She could clearly feel that Song Nan was becoming more and more different.
“Really?” Duan Si asked Song Nan, but she was looking at Mu Ci.
Song Nan smiled. “Why are you looking at Mu Ci like that? Don’t you know his temper? He admitted that he did it on purpose to anger you. Auntie, calm down and think about what I said. Is that right?”
Duan Si sobbed and found a way out for herself. “All these years, I’ve swallowed my anger for the sake of the Mu Family’s reputation and the reputation of you two brothers. Otherwise, why would I let that vixen and her daughter be so carefree? How much have I sacrificed for the Mu Family? If even my son betrayed me, what’s the point of living?”
Song Nan stroked Duan Si’s back to calm her down. “Auntie, don’t be like this. Calm down first. Or, you can have a good talk with Mu Ci. You are mother and son, let’s talk things out. Don’t guess each other’s thoughts like this. It’s easy to misunderstand if you take it for granted. I don’t think you can eat anymore. Why don’t you let Mu Ci send you back to your room?”
She gave Mu Ci a look. Seeing that Mu Ci was not moving, she came over and pushed Mu Ci’s wheelchair. She said in a low voice, “Please. Otherwise, we won’t be able to stop today.”
Her voice was so low that only Mu Ci could hear her.
She pushed the wheelchair and followed Duan Si, who had gotten up and was walking out.
Bei Shuo wanted to follow her, but Song Nan smiled at her. “Take care of these things first. I’m here.”
Mu Ci turned around to look at Bei Shuo, but Song Nan blocked his gaze.
After the three of them left, Bei Le said sweetly, “Sister, you’re really capable. I didn’t expect you to be so close to the mistress’ child outside before you settled your own mother-in-law. This gift has already come knocking on your door. Oh—I understand. Sister, you did it on purpose, right? There’s nothing more effective than angering your mother-in-law like this.”
Bei Le covered her mouth and laughed.
Shen Yu glared at Bei Shuo. “You’re really promising! You can even come up with such an unorthodox idea! You really have evil intentions!”
Bei Shuo couldn’t be bothered to talk to them. She wouldn’t argue with fools!
