Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Arrogance

But a good man aspires far and wide, how could they hold their son back because of themselves and trap him here?

"It’s like you didn’t say anything." Bai Yuhua felt disheartened. When a son grows up, he doesn’t belong to his mother anymore.

The son grows up and has his own ideas; no matter how much they say, it’s useless.

Fortunately, now they have a little grandson, which somewhat comforts them.

Just thinking about the frequent danger in their son’s job, Bai Yuhua grew worried again. While the family was saddened by Mu Qiancheng’s departure, Cheng Li arrived.

As soon as Cheng Li entered the yard, noticing Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua’s sullen expressions, her eyes flickered as she feigned concern and asked, "Uncle Mu, Aunt Bai, what’s wrong? Did Little Xue upset you again?"

Seeing the sudden arrival of Cheng Li, Bai Yuhua was initially pleased and was about to greet her, but she suddenly recalled her son’s words and fell silent.

Mu Siwu also remained silent, expecting his wife to greet Cheng Li, but surprisingly, she didn’t speak either.

Cheng Li, noticing neither of them intended to speak, felt secretly pleased, assuming Jiang Xue must have caused quite a stir, and they were currently angry.

Because she had just seen Mu Qiancheng leaving, she assumed it was due to Jiang Xue’s anger.

That was why she deliberately came, intending to check the situation and then add fuel to the fire.

Seeing Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua remained silent, she directly said, "Uncle Mu, Aunt Bai, I’m here to apologize on behalf of Little Xue. Regarding Little Xue wanting to divorce Qiancheng, I also know. I even tried to persuade her, but she wouldn’t listen. How about this, I will try to talk to her again, and please calm down first."

Mu Siwu was about to speak, but Cheng Li spoke again. However, her words sounded somehow off to Mu Siwu.

He turned to glance at his wife and noticed that Bai Yuhua’s face didn’t look good either, and he began to understand, his gaze at Cheng Li growing sharper.

The son and daughter-in-law were fine; when did they ever say anything about a divorce? At this moment, he realized that Cheng Li wasn’t simple.

Previously, because Cheng Li was a young woman, his wife usually received her whenever she visited. With little interaction and everyone in the village speaking well of her, he also assumed she was good.

Just before, when his wife mentioned Cheng Li’s dubious intentions, he didn’t fully believe it.

But now it seems, Cheng Li’s supposed goodness is superficial, and she truly has dubious intentions as his wife said.

"Mu, Uncle Mu, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Cheng Li finished speaking and saw Mu Siwu staring at her, his gaze made her feel guilty and timid.

Usually, she didn’t interact much with Mu Siwu, only hearing that he was quite a silent and diligent worker. It was the first time she discovered his gaze could be so sharp, as if to see through her completely.

"Xiao Li, how do you know Xue’er wants to divorce Qiancheng, who told you?" Mu Siwu asked seriously.

"I, I came by this morning and talked with Xue’er for a while. I heard her say she wanted to divorce Qiancheng. At that time, I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn’t listen; I had no choice."

"If Uncle Mu doesn’t believe me, you could ask Aunt Bai. I was worried that Little Xue and Qiancheng would get into a fight, so I specifically informed Aunt Bai to come back and have a look."

"Aunt Bai, isn’t that right?"
