So cool! Grab the scumbag's inheritance and become his aunt

As soon as Shen He and Mu Xiangyi left, the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became heavy, with an oppressive feeling as if a storm was about to come.

Mu Tingyun pulled a chair and placed it next to the bedside table.

He sat down, poured a cup of warm water, and moistened Mu Xiao's lips with a wet cotton swab.

"Third brother." Mu Xiao smacked his lips, "I have something to say to you."

Mu Tingyun kept holding the water cup and nodded at the old man. "You talk, I'm listening."

"This matter is related to the inside story of your kidnapping ten years ago."

Mu Tingyun's expression froze.

"Is there any inside story about that incident that I don't know? Didn't they say that it was just a simple kidnapping and extortion by an enemy?"

This matter was jointly endorsed by his father and uncle, so Mu Tingyun never doubted it.

What hidden story is there about what happened back then?

"You are a very careful child. If it was just my one-sided statement, you would definitely not believe it. But with your uncle's testimony, you won't doubt it anymore."

That's right.

"You are very smart. Why don't you guess who is involved in this matter, which made your uncle and I choose to hide the truth?"

Mu Xiao dropped the hook and leaned against the pillow to rest.

Mu Tingyun's five fingers holding the cup slightly tightened, his eyes trembling, a little shocked and sad: "... Is it grandma?"

Mu Xiao closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"is her."

Mu Tingyun was silent for nearly two minutes.

"Why?" His voice was hoarse, his expression could not hide his sadness, and he lacked the vigor and vitality.

Mu Xiao sighed for a long time before saying, "You saw what your uncle did to me that day, didn't you?"

Mu Tingyun said nothing.

Mu Xiao didn't mind his attitude.

"The grievances between our Mu family and the Song family can be traced back to the war years before the founding of the country. You should also know about those grievances and entanglements."

The version that Mu Tingyun knew was basically the same as what Shen He knew.

"From what I have learned, our ancestors took advantage of the Song family's old master's critical illness and used despicable means to swallow up the Song family's assets."

"After the founding of New China, my great-grandfather returned to Qing City. He found that the Song family had been wiped out by the Mu family, and there was not even a place to bury my father after his death. He hated the Mu family completely."

"When my great-grandfather passed away, he left a will that forbade the Song family to intermarry with the Mu family."

Mu Xiao listened to Mu Tingyun's words with a serious face.

He did not argue for the Mu family's ancestors, but asked Mu Tingyun: "The three major families in Qing City, besides my Mu family, there are the Xie family and the Cheng family. Let me ask you, if all four children of the Cheng family died, the old man of the Cheng family was old, and there was no descendant in the family to take over the company."

"In this case, will you take action against the Cheng family?"

Mu Tingyun was stunned by the question.

Mu Xiao caught Mu Tingyun's reaction and couldn't help but reveal a cold and sinister smile, "Businessmen pursue profits, this is their nature, what's wrong with the Mu family?"

Mu Tingyun frowned, not quite agreeing with his father's statement, "Dad, there is no comparison."

"What's wrong?" Mu Xiao did not comment.

"The Song family's children were all patriotic young people. They were all martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the future of the country! The Cheng family's children were all simple businessmen."

Mu Xiao's expression changed slightly.

He was unwilling to admit that the ancestors of the Mu family were wrong.

Once he admitted it, the descendants of the Mu family would never be able to hold their heads high again.

"Third brother, even if the Mu family didn't take action against the Song family at that time, other businessmen would have smelled the scent and come to get a piece of the pie."

"Don't think people are too kind."

Mu Tingyun said without hesitation: "But the only company that participated in the merger of the Song family's assets was the Mu family."

"You!" Mu Xiao was so angry that he was short of breath.

He began to cough intermittently.

Mu Tingyun calmly massaged his chest, waited for him to calm down, and then gave him some warm water.

"Dad, no matter how you argue, our ancestors were wrong about the annexation of the Song family's assets."

"It is not shameful to admit that our ancestors were wrong. What is really ridiculous is that we know it is wrong but refuse to admit it and even try to whitewash it."

"I think the reason why the Song family hates the Mu family so much is because the Mu family refuses to admit their mistakes." How is this behavior different from living an ordinary life?

Mu Xiao said nothing more.

He looked at Mu Tingyun scrutinizingly.

This child, half of his blood belongs to the Song family, and he will never completely tie his heart to the Mu family.

"The grudge between the Mu and Song families is finally unraveling." Mu Xiao sneered, "Do you think the Song family is a good thing?"

"Your mother and I truly love each other, but they slandered me wantonly, saying that I married your mother to make the Song family extinct!"

"I have to take all the blame, because I am so devoted to your mother. When I decided to date her, I was prepared for the worst."

"But how did the Song family do it? And how did your crazy grandmother do it?"

Mu Tingyun said calmly, "She and grandpa refused to help you, and even risked her advanced age to give birth to my uncle."

"I've heard these things so many times that my ears are almost callused, Dad. There's no point in repeating them over and over again." Mu Tingyun was already a little impatient.

He was tired of hearing about these trivial matters.

"But there is more."

Mu Xiao sneered repeatedly and growled in grief, "In order to prevent your mother from giving birth to the Mu family's child, that crazy woman deliberately arranged for someone to hide in the hospital and push your mother down the stairs when she went for a prenatal checkup!"

"At that time, you were only seven months old. Your mother risked her life to give birth to a weak you. She only had time to take a look at you before she was found to have amniotic fluid embolism."

"But your cruel grandmother actually found an excuse to transfer the best obstetrician in the hospital away in advance, causing your mother to be delayed in treatment and die on the delivery bed!"

Mu Xiao was so angry that he burst into tears.

He cried and snotted, and lamented, "Third brother, I didn't have the heart to tell you this before, because I thought that the Song family is your mother's family after all, and it is your other home."

"I thought that my patience would buy the crazy woman peace. Who would have thought that when she learned that you had excellent results in the three joint entrance examinations in the third year of high school, she was afraid that your intelligence and wisdom would become her son's great enemy in the business world in the future, so she hired someone to kill!"

"Your kidnapping was planned by that crazy woman!"

Mu Xiao was shocked when he heard this.

"This...is this all true?" Mu Tingyun's fear was condensed into substance in his eyes, "My mother's death and my kidnapping at the age of 18, were they really all done by my grandmother?"

Did that taciturn old lady really do these things?

"You do not believe?"

Seeing that Mu Tingyun was still questioning what he said, Mu Xiao was very disappointed, "Mu Tingyun, I'm your father! I'm closer to you than Song Jingcheng and that crazy woman!"

"You are my son, would I deceive you with such a thing?"

"If you don't believe me, you can go confront Song Jingcheng and ask him if your kidnapping in your senior year of high school was planned by his crazy mother!"

"Ask him again, is it because he knew the truth a long time ago that he secretly hired someone to protect you?"

After hearing this, Mu Tingyun actually believed Mu Xiao about 60%.
