Chapter 473 - Pushed Her to a Corner and Undid Her Collar

Having asked this question, Lin Kerou felt rather perturbed.

Her observation told her with some certainty that they were together.

Before Li Beinian had broken off her engagement with Mu Donglin, she had still maintained some distance with Mu Xichen.

It wouldn’t have been a coincidence that they had made an appearance together at the restaurant.

The way that Mu Xichen was protecting her made him look like such a good man.

Only, what right did Li Beinian have to be together with Mu Xichen?

Looking completely unable to accept this, Lin Kerou berated. “How could you date her when she has only broken off her engagement to Brother Donglin recently? To think you’re Brother Donglin’s younger brother.”

With an angry expression, she raised her voice deliberately and continued, “Brother Donglin likes her so much and has ended up in such dire straits because of her. Chief Mu, if she had toyed with Brother Donglin, she can do the same to you. Once she’s found a better next person, she may very well dump you.

“Or could it be that you had hooked up with her long ago, and it was both your plan that she broke off her engagement to Brother Donglin?”

She was indignant, and every word that came out of her mouth was full of resentment.

The manner in which she looked upon them was as though they were a cheating couple.

Mu Xichen’s eyes were like the deep sea that had been silent, but now there was a sudden surge of waves. However, it was extremely obscure and hardly detectable.

He glanced at Lin Kerou briefly and responded, “What sort of relationship, then, do you share with Mu Donglin?”

A casual remark. Lin Kerou was stumped for an answer. However, she quickly recovered and replied, “I don’t believe that the two of you are in such a relationship!”

“Miss Lin,” Li Beinian spoke, faintly amused, “What do you mean exactly by such a relationship?”

Slightly panicking, Lin Kerou choked. “Brother Donglin and I...”

Li Beinian looked at her with pity and interrupted. “More than friends, but not quite lovers, is that right?”

No, that wasn’t right.

It shouldn’t have been that way between Mu Donglin and her.

“No,” Lin Kerou retorted immediately. “That’s not the case!”

Li Beinian chortled and threw her a look of contempt. Then, turning around, she said, “I’m leaving now.”

As she said that, she walked towards Chi Hailang.

Chi Hailang had a triumphant expression on his face. Perhaps surprised by Li Beinian’s and Mu Xichen’s responses to the question about their relationship, he was both curious and puzzled.

Li Beinian continued walking ahead without bothering to explain.

Back in the private room, Chi Dali was completely knocked out.

Even Tang Xiaoge was not quite sober.

They had to wait for Mu Xichen to return given Li Beinian’s arm was injured and Chi Hailang couldn’t handle the two by himself.

Some time passed before Mu Xichen came back.

The moment he was back, he immediately walked towards Li Beinian and said, “Let me have a look.”

His eyes fell on her shoulder.

Li Beinian glanced at Chi Hailang instinctively. The boy was already turning his back to them without having to be told.

Mu Xichen pushed her to a corner and undid her collar, exposing a bruise on her shoulder.

His expression clouded over even more now. He turned around.

Stunned, Li Beinian held him back, asking, “Where are you going?”

“To cut off that pig’s trotter.” Mu Xichen swept her hand aside and strode away.

Hurrying after him, she caught up and stood in his path. “Alright already. Godpa is dead drunk, let’s just take him home first.”

Mu Xichen looked at her with anger burning in his eyes.

She pushed him back gently and slid her arms around his waist, comforting him. “That’s enough. I’ve already beat him up till he was on the verge of throwing up. He only threw one punch at me, and we’ve even earned an apology. We’re almost even, so let’s just leave it.”
