Hearing Fu Yan Ting say that, Mu Wei couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He had always known that this young man was extraordinary and had always been cautious of him.
But he didn't understand what Fu Yan Ting meant by his words just now.
Looking at Fu Yan Ting, Mu Wei calmly asked, "Son, what do you mean? Do you think I would lie?"
Fu Yan Ting glanced indifferently at Mu Wei and did not respond.
That look made Mu Wei feel a little frightened.
Could it be that Mu Qing Xiang had reported everything to Fu Yan Ting?
Impossible, how could Mu Qing Xiang do such a thing?
How could Mu Qing Xiang have the courage to tell Fu Yan Ting the truth of that year?
Mu Wei was certain that Mu Qing Xiang would not dare to do so, which was why he dared to speak so boldly in front of Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting got up and left. Mu Wei did not understand the meaning of Fu Yan Ting's words and could not fathom his attitude.
Now, the Mu family was on the verge of bankruptcy. He could not rashly anger Fu Yan Ting; he had to rely on Fu Yan Ting to revive the Mu family.
This was also the main reason why he came to Mu Qing Xiang's funeral to pay his respects.
He wanted Fu Yan Ting to know that Mu Qing Xiang was a member of his Mu family, and by seniority, Fu Yan Ting was also related to the Mu family. Now that the Mu family was in trouble, Fu Yan Ting could not stand idly by.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting leave, Mu Wei quickly chased after him. Fu Yan Ting frowned and instructed Xin Yi to drive Mu Wei out of the Mu residence.
Mu Wei did not expect Fu Yan Ting to be so uncooperative and so ill-mannered.
In his desperation, he blurted out curses, "Fu Yan Ting, does your grandmother educate you like this to treat your elders? Indeed, children who are born to a mother but not loved by a father are uneducated."
Hearing Mu Wei say this, Fu Yan Ting's cold eyes turned to him and he questioned, word by word, "What did you just say? Say it again if you dare."
Mu Wei saw that Fu Yan Ting was angry and sneered inwardly. No matter what, as long as Fu Yan Ting spoke to him, it was fine.
Mu Wei suddenly moved closer to Fu Yan Ting and whispered, "If you want to know your grandmother's secret, let's find another place to talk privately. What do you think?"
"Why do you think I would agree to talk to you privately?"
Fu Yan Ting looked at Mu Wei as if he were watching a clown.
What else could this kind of man do besides threaten and manipulate women?
It was a wise decision for his grandmother not to choose him back then.
Mu Wei, like a barefoot person unafraid of a shod person, sized up Fu Yan Ting. Since Fu Yan Ting was unwilling to talk to him privately, they would talk here, as long as Fu Yan Ting could bear it.
Mu Qing Xiang, who valued her reputation so much in life, would surely die with her eyes open if she knew that her past was known to everyone after her death.
Fu Yan Ting saw through Mu Wei's inner thoughts at a glance and said indifferently, "Follow me."
In the study, Fu Yan Ting sat there. Even though he was young, his powerful aura made Mu Wei unable to ignore him.
Mu Wei coughed twice and said, "Actually, your grandmother and I were truly in love. But we were siblings without blood relation, and our families wouldn't allow us to be together. Your grandmother couldn't resist the pressure and finally had to choose to quickly marry your grandfather."
Mu Wei spoke with great emotion. If Mu Qing Xiang had not told Fu Yan Ting the truth beforehand, Fu Yan Ting would have almost believed Mu Wei's words.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting not respond, and even showing a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, Mu Wei felt insulted.
He was insulted by a junior, especially by the grandson of that man.
Mu Wei clenched his fists tightly, but he couldn't anger Fu Yan Ting now. After all, the Mu family depended on Fu Yan Ting to save them.
"Alright, you've been talking nonsense to me for so long. Can we get to the main point now? Speak, what is the matter you are looking for me for today?"
Fu Yan Ting actually knew very well why Mu Wei had come, but he still asked.
Only when Mu Wei said it himself could Fu Yan Ting humiliate him.
As expected, when Mu Wei heard Fu Yan Ting's question, his expression became extremely unpleasant.
If Mu Jing Chen had half of Fu Yan Ting's means and ability, their Mu family would not have fallen to this point.
If Mu Jing Chen had not said he could defeat Fu Yan Ting back then, he would not have let Mu Jing Chen act recklessly. Now, not only did they not defeat Fu Yan Ting, but they also lost the entire Mu Corporation.
Mu Wei was truly angry about this kind of loss of both wife and soldiers.
As expected, although Mu Wei felt embarrassed and lost face, for the sake of the Mu family, he still stated his purpose for coming to the Fu residence today.
After listening, Fu Yan Ting's lips curved slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He said indifferently, "Why do you think I would help your Mu family?"
"Then if I say I know Yan Xi's whereabouts, are you willing to help the Mu family overcome this difficulty as an exchange?"
Mu Wei sized up Fu Yan Ting.
Although Fu Yan Ting had an inscrutable demeanor, Mu Wei knew very well where Fu Yan Ting's weakness lay.
Therefore, Mu Wei brought up Yan Xi.
Originally, Yan Xi was his backup plan. If possible, Mu Wei did not intend to mention Yan Xi, but he found Fu Yan Ting to be so unreasonable.
No matter what he said, Fu Yan Ting showed no intention of helping their Mu family.
And the Mu family could not last through this month.
Mu Wei had to make Fu Yan Ting extend a helping hand to the Mu family.
As expected, when Fu Yan Ting heard Mu Wei's words, his expression changed greatly. Since he learned that Yan Xi was in trouble, how long had it been since Fu Yan Ting heard this name?
The last time he heard this name was a week ago, when his grandmother was alive and told him.
Everyone in the Fu family knew Fu Yan Ting's feelings for Yan Xi.
They were also sensible and would not mention Yan Xi's name in front of Fu Yan Ting.
As for Fu Yan Ting, it was either because he was too busy recently and didn't have time to think about Yan Xi, or he was deliberately avoiding things related to Yan Xi.
In any case, he had not thought of Yan Xi for a long time.
If Mu Wei hadn't mentioned Yan Xi in front of Fu Yan Ting, Fu Yan Ting wouldn't even have thought of Yan Xi.
Seeing that Fu Yan Ting did not speak, Mu Wei knew very well that Fu Yan Ting was wavering. Although Fu Yan Ting remained expressionless, how could a man who cared deeply for a woman bear to give up news about her?
As expected, in the next second, Fu Yan Ting responded, "Okay, I promise you."
