"Fine, since she wants to see me, I'll give her this chance. I want to see what she has to say to me," Mu Qing Xiang couldn't help but say.
The housekeeper knew that Mu Qing Xiang's words were harsher than her intentions. Although she resented Yan Xi, when she heard that Yan Xi had knelt outside the Fu family's door for three days and two nights, her heart softened. Even though she didn't want to admit it, the housekeeper knew Mu Qing Xiang's true feelings very well.
Yan Xi was brought to the front hall. She looked at Mu Qing Xiang and said weakly, "Old Madam."
After speaking, Yan Xi was physically exhausted and fainted.
Seeing Yan Xi faint, Mu Qing Xiang snorted coldly and said grumpily, "With this stamina, you want to make vows to me?"
After her cold snort, Mu Qing Xiang immediately ordered the housekeeper to call the family doctor to examine Yan Xi. Yan Xi was simply too weak and had been rained on, which caused her to faint.
Hearing from the family doctor that Yan Xi was not seriously injured, Mu Qing Xiang finally felt relieved.
By the time Yan Xi woke up, Mu Qing Xiang was still by her bedside. Yan Xi found it unbelievable. She looked at Mu Qing Xiang and asked softly, "Old Madam, have you been here watching over me and taking care of me?"
"If you hadn't said you had something to tell me, I wouldn't bother waiting here for you," Mu Qing Xiang said with a cold snort.
Yan Xi lowered her head and said nothing.
Mu Qing Xiang also felt a little uncomfortable. She coughed twice, looked at Yan Xi, and asked softly, "Didn't you say you had something to tell me? Since you're no longer in danger, you can say it."
Yan Xi was silent for a moment. She didn't know if what Mu Jing Yan had told her was true or false. She didn't know if blurting it out to Mu Qing Xiang would hurt her. However, Yan Xi desperately wanted to know an answer. After brief consideration, Yan Xi finally asked.
Looking at Mu Qing Xiang, even though it was difficult to bring up, Yan Xi still asked, "Old Madam, I heard from others that Fu Yan Ting is not dead. Is this true?"
Mu Qing Xiang was not surprised by Yan Xi's question. She snorted coldly and said grumpily, "What? If my grandson is not dead, are you going to find a way to harm him again?"
Yan Xi didn't mean that at all, but facing Mu Qing Xiang's questioning, Yan Xi couldn't say a word.
"Miss Yan, my grandson was harmed and became a vegetable. Perhaps I was not thoughtful enough when I arranged for you to marry him, and it made you unbalanced. If you were unwilling at the time, you could have told me instead of harming him."
"Old Madam, I didn't. I didn't mean to harm Fu Yan Ting." Yan Xi explained anxiously, but her explanation was pale and weak. No matter how Yan Xi explained, Mu Qing Xiang would not believe her.
Hearing Yan Xi's words, Mu Qing Xiang asked indifferently, "Then do you love Fu Yan Ting?"
Love. Yan Xi cried silently in her heart. She loved Fu Yan Ting so much that she endured her pain and left him. Because Yan Xi knew that if she continued to be with Fu Yan Ting, it would be a harm to him.
Seeing Yan Xi's silence, Mu Qing Xiang spoke again, "Then if I told you that my grandson is dead, and this is a fact, would you be willing to die for him?"
Yan Xi looked up at Mu Qing Xiang in shock, not expecting Mu Qing Xiang to say such an extreme thing.
Mu Qing Xiang sneered and asked, "Since Miss Yan is not willing to die for him, nor is she willing to be with him, then what is your purpose in coming to the Fu family today? Is it just to confirm if Fu Yan Ting is really dead?"
Yan Xi was so rebutted by Mu Qing Xiang's words that she was speechless. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain herself. Yan Xi didn't know how she left the Fu family.
After Yan Xi left, Fu Yan Ting walked out from the shadows, with Eleven by his side. Eleven glanced at Yan Xi, feeling very unwilling. It was the same face, and even though Yan Xi was disfigured now, Fu Yan Ting still cared about her so much. But what about her? Fu Yan Ting wouldn't even look at her directly.
Seeing Yan Xi's retreating figure, Eleven quickly seized the opportunity to hypnotize Fu Yan Ting. Her hypnosis skills were excellent, but Fu Yan Ting was difficult to control. Others would find it hard to wake up from her hypnosis, but Fu Yan Ting was different; he would quickly return to normal. Helpless, she had to hypnotize Fu Yan Ting every day, hoping he would forget Yan Xi, and ideally, stand on the opposite side of Yan Xi.
After being hypnotized, Fu Yan Ting went to Mu Qing Xiang's room. Seeing Mu Qing Xiang, Fu Yan Ting called out indifferently, "Grandma."
"Yan Ting, you heard Yan Xi's attitude towards you just now. Her visit to the Fu family this time was probably to confirm if you are really dead. After all, she is now Mu Jing Chen's fiancée, and several projects of the Mu family have encountered problems recently. Mu Jing Chen needs external resources to help him through this difficult time. Yan Xi's visit to the Fu family is hoping you can help the Mu family." Although Yan Xi didn't say anything when she visited the Fu family, as Fu Yan Ting's own grandmother, she knew very well that Fu Yan Ting still had lingering feelings for Yan Xi. To prevent Fu Yan Ting from having any further thoughts about Yan Xi, she had to do this. Since Fu Yan Ting was still worried, she would play the villain.
As expected, upon hearing Mu Qing Xiang's words, Fu Yan Ting's already unhappy face became even more unsightly. Mu Qing Xiang knew that Fu Yan Ting was unwilling to accept Yan Xi's cruelty towards him. Since Yan Xi cared so much about Mu Jing Chen, to the point of enduring humiliation for him, kneeling outside the Fu family's door for three days and two nights just to be seen by the Fu family so she could intercede for Mu Jing Chen. The more Yan Xi acted this way, the less Fu Yan Ting would let Mu Jing Chen off the hook. Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Fu Yan Ting's eyes. He knew there was a bidding conference in three days, and the Mu family was also participating. Since they wanted to play, Fu Yan Ting would go all out and play with them thoroughly.
In the hospital ward, Mu Jing Chen looked at Yan Xi and said softly, "Xi Xi, the bidding conference is in three days. You should attend with me then."
"I don't think so. The YC Group is not participating in this bid. You are attending as the successor of the Mu family. It would be somewhat inappropriate for me to go with you."
"Xi Xi, the Fu family will also be attending. If you don't come with me, are you afraid that the Fu family will misunderstand our relationship?"
