Chapter 1699

“Is that so?”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled coldly and said indifferently, “What I did has long angered him.”

“Moreover, there’s one thing I hope Mrs. Wen can understand.”

His smile was still so beautiful, simply the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Yet, his voice carried not a single trace of warmth.

It was like the coldest glacier in the world.

“Mrs.

Wen, I’ve grown up, I’m an adult.

An adult should have their own real family.”

“You…

what do you mean?” Wen Yu’s heart trembled, thoroughly saddened by his words.

A real family, does this mean that they…

are not his real family?

This brat, how can he talk like this?

How dare he!

“It’s very simple. In the future, I’ll have my own family. Xiaxia is my family, the closest family.”

So, even though they are family, they’re not the closest!

Wen Yu’s legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed on the spot.

That girl is the closest family, but they are not!

They raised him with so much effort, and yet, they are not his family!

“Jiu, you… we’ve raised you for so many years, what a waste!”

Wen Yu was so agitated that she almost burst into tears!

Yet, Mu Xiaojiu remained so cold, so indifferent.

“I still respect you, although, all these years, it wasn’t you who raised me.”

The one who truly raised him was his enemy, Baili Yang.

But now, saying this has lost all significance.

“Jiu…” She shook her head, truly unable to believe these words were his.

“I’ve said that I would respect you, given that you don’t do anything I can’t accept.”

After finishing, he glanced behind him.

Ye Hua immediately came over and approached Wen Yu.

“What do you want to do?” Wen Yu watched Ye Hua warily and reprimanded.

“There’s a place with particularly beautiful scenery. Please let me take Mrs. Wen for a week,” Mu Xiaojiu said coldly.

Ye Hua directly reached out and grabbed Wen Yu’s arm, saying in a deep voice, “Madam, I’ll take you to the travel destination.”

He said “please,” but it was obviously a form of coercion!

“Let go, release!”

Wen Yu struggled to shake off Ye Hua’s hand, but how could she resist Ye Hua’s strength?

After trying for a while and still not being able to break free, she looked at Mu Xiaojiu with a sorrowful expression, her voice trembling slightly.

“Do you really want to treat me like this?

Don’t you value our relationship at all?”

Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes darkened, but only for a second before he regained his composure and said in a low voice, “Take her away.”

Ye Hua heard the command and tugged at Wen Yu.

This time, Wen Yu did not resist any further.

She knew there was no use in resisting.

She was just a weak woman, what could she do?

This is Sihai Residence, Xuri’s influence is not in Jin City.

Arguing with Mu Xiaojiu at this moment really had no benefits at all.

Shooting a resentful look at Mu Xiaojiu, she turned and followed Ye Hua away.

Mu Xiaojiu stood there, watching their figures disappear at the staircase before coming to his senses.

For some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable heaviness in his heart.

He instinctively reached into his pocket, wanting to take out a cigarette to light it.

But after fumbling, he found inside only the small, square box he had prepared earlier.

It turned out that because of something a certain girl had said, he had long quit smoking.

Gently exhaling, he turned around, pushed open the door of the room, and walked in.
