Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 286: The Onlookers Who Want Chaos (1)

“Madam Mu’s family?” Xiao Jingyao was stunned. He looked at Zhao Shunrong inquiringly.

“Madam Mu’s maiden name is Su. She adopted her mother’s surname.”

“Su?” Xiao Jingyao furrowed his eyebrows. The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed drastically, “Could it be… could it be that Su family?!”

“It looks like you have already guessed it. Madam Mu’s mother was the biological sister of the Su family’s family head. It might have been a long time since she passed away, she was the apple of the Su family’s eyes back then. She is especially well-loved by the current head of the family. After Madam Mu’s mother succumbed to illness, the Su family’s head transferred his adoration for his sister to her two daughters. He has even made Madam Mu and her elder sister stay with him for some time. In fact, he dotes on the two more than his own son. I’m afraid the incident of Madam Mu taking a ride in Youlin’s car which resulted in her suffering an injury has alerted the members of the Su family.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyao immediately understood the situation. If Madam Mu was a member of the Su family, then, everything made sense.

Judging from the Su family’s status in society, was it not a piece of cake to them to find the bunch of small fries who dared to mess with a powerful family like them?

“Therefore, you also don’t have to belittle yourself. The complicated ties behind the Mu family is not as simple as it seems on the surface.” When he said this, Zhao Shunrong abruptly thought of how the bedridden man in the hospital pestered his daughter. He heaved a sigh, which was a rare sight for him to do.

After learning about the relationship between the Mu family and the Su family, Xiao Jingyao no longer dwelled any further on this issue. Staring at the information in Zhao Shunrong’s hands, he asked warily, “President, now, we…”

Zhao Shunrong had been staring gloomily at the document placed on the desk for some time before he said, “Hasn’t someone lodged a police report? I believe the police officers would be very happy if they received such information. Also, contact President Mu’s secretary, tell him we have tangible evidence now. It would be foolproof if we could get a few witnesses as well.”

Xiao Jingyao’s eyes sparkled. He took the document placed in front of Zhao Shunrong and said, “I know what I’m supposed to do.”

With just a few words exchanged between the two people, a person, or even a group of people’s lives and deaths were decided.

Mu Tingfeng’s second injury was very serious. He could not possibly hide it from the people who were particularly concerned about him. The first to receive the news were President Mu’s parents, who had taken great pains to return to their home country.

“Oh, dear! Darling, why are you destined to suffer like this? You were looking fine before this, in just a few days, you’ve been tortured to become like this. Look at your complexion… Tsk, tsk, tsk… I thought you could be discharged from the hospital within these few days. I never thought… I never expected…” The cut on Su Ruixin’s forehead had healed long ago. It had not left behind any scars. Su Ruixin was very spirited as she laid on Mu Tingfeng’s bed and wailed miserably. At the same time, she could not keep her hands off Mu Tingfeng’s face.

The doctors, nurses, and even the patients who were not beside the bed could not see that a certain person was actually full of vigor while he laid in his bed. They only heard her wails, and they might actually think that someone died in the ward!

Xia Zhetao quietly stood at the side like a background, and he remained silent. He looked serious on the surface. But in truth, he kept making sarcastic quips in his heart.

‘Madam, I can see that you’re enjoying the president’s misery, and you can’t hide that desire for gossip on your face. Don’t go thinking that I can’t see it just because you decided to give up on your image to put on a show of having a strong bond with your son!

‘Did you really come here to express your concern for the president? I think you’re here to watch a show!’

Apparently, Mu Tingfeng felt the same too. Looking at the woman who gave her all to shed crocodile tears, he frowned. “Mother, I’m not dead yet.”

‘So, you don’t have to cry so miserably…’

If she cared for her son so much, why did she have to be glued to his father so intimately as soon as she knew his father had returned to his home country? She never appeared before him ever since that day she brought his father over to visit him to see if he was still alive.

His mother was the typical type who could give up on her son for her husband. Mu Tingfeng had long known about his mother’s behavior. There was no way he would be deceived by her acting.

Thinking of this, Mu Tingfeng subconsciously cast a glance at Mu Xiaoyang, who was standing behind Su Ruixin. Perhaps, his father was the only one who could tolerate his mother’s behavior. Both of them were willing to tolerate each other.

Mu Xiaoyang understood the underlying hint from his son’s gaze. His eyes sparkled. Looking at Mu Tingfeng’s hand that had been injured severely for the second time, there was an unusual hint of amusement in his eyes.

Xia Zhetao thought to himself. ‘Is the president’s father looking happy?!’ He inexplicably felt… that the father was crazy, because he was happy even if he saw that his son was injured.

Mu Tingfeng thought to himself, ‘What is this? Father looks like he’s glad that I’m going to continue staying in the hospital because I won’t be bothering them while they are alone together?! My parents really are…’

Mu Xiaoyang got the hint from his son’s cold gaze. The conscious-stricken Mu Xiaoyang faked a cough and reminded Su Ruixin in a low voice, “Xin, our daughter-in-law is not here.”

What he actually meant was Su Ruixin did not have to go to such great lengths in her acting just to gain sympathy for her son when their daughter-in-law was not around.

‘D-D-Daughter-in-law!’ Xia Zhetao who had been ignored at the side was struck dumb by the corny way Mu Xiaoyang had addressed Zhao Youlin. Indeed, the trait of shamelessness was genetic!

They hardly met each other, yet he had already addressed Zhao Youlin as his daughter-in-law. The pitiful mighty secretary Xia had the views of his world and morals completely change again!

Right after Mu Xiaoyang spoke, Su Ruixin immediately schooled her face. She surveyed her surroundings cautiously to confirm Zhao Youlin was not around. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

Her blue eyes grew increasingly bright. She leaned close to Mu Tingfeng impatiently and asked, “Son, what’s going on? Why did you get hurt all of a sudden?”

Mu Tingfeng glared at Su Ruixin faintly. He remained quiet.

Su Ruixin felt incredibly disappointed over her son’s unwillingness to cooperate with her. She had no choice but to place her hope on Xia Zhetao, who had been trying his best to remain invisible. “Secretary Xia, tell me.”

“Huh?! Me?!” Xia Zhetao was abruptly called, and he felt as if he had been dragged into a trap even though he was innocent. Under the people’s eerie gazes, he briefly explained the entire story.

Of course, the clever mighty secretary Xia wittily brushed off the brief interlude of Mu Tingfeng crashing, which resulted in his wound opening again just to gain sympathy from Zhao Youlin.

“Son, in other words, when you heard Youlin went on a blind date with another man, you were very anxious and immediately ran out of the hospital to look for her. When you took her back, you accidentally hurt your wound, and it opened again, right?” Su Ruixin turned around and stared at her son with her eyes sparkling.

Mu Tingfeng felt goosebumps all over his body under her gaze. He nodded expressionlessly.

Before he recovered his senses, he felt a sudden pain on his arm that had just been bandaged not long ago. Su Ruixin had grown over excited and slapped his arm.

‘Well done! That’s our son. You’ve got a bright future ahead!’

Mu Tingfeng fell speechless. Seriously, was he… her own flesh and blood?!
