Chapter 64: It's Time to Make a Decision
Mu Tingchen wanted to make that incident an accident, but what Father Yan said was really heartbreaking to him.
When Yan's father pulled Yan Xiaoyu aside to speak, he just pulled her around to see if she was thin and whether she was in good health, Mu Tingchen felt quite heartwarming at the time, but he didn't expect to accidentally hear what Yan's father said.
He really wished he was deaf at that time. He would rather choose not to come to Yan's house for dinner, than to hear it with his own ears, and Yan's father, who was already indebted to him, even warned his daughter to let Yan Xiaoyu beware of him.
That's not how it shouldn't be, is it......
The reason why Mu Tingchen vacillated between revenge and letting go of the past was entirely because of Yan Xiaoyu. Even for Father Yan, he once thought about giving up revenge and choosing to forgive him.
This is also because Father Yan knew his mistakes and tried his best to help Mu Tingchen, which made Mu Tingchen feel a little relieved. Although he thought it was compensation, in his heart, he still chose to forgive Father Yan with a soft heart.
But what about today? The father who looked amiable, the father who had always helped him, the father of the woman he loved the most, actually asked his most beloved woman not to forget to watch out for him.
Mu Tingchen really couldn't accept such a fact. Hearing what Father Yan said, at that moment, he thundered five times.
So much so that he didn't listen carefully to what Yan Xiaoyu said at that time.
Dad, maybe you were like that at the time, you were deceived by his kind appearance, and you always trusted him, but in the end you died at his hands.
Mu Tingchen walked into the bathroom of the Yan family, and he looked at himself in the mirror, as if he was a little strange.
He let out cold water, took several handfuls of water, and threw it on his face, trying to sober himself up. But Father Yan's words were like a nightmare, haunting his heart for a long time.
Dad, you say, what else can I do? I've been struggling for so long, hesitating for so long, and in the end it's not just a bamboo basket for nothing.
Perhaps, it is really time to make a decision.
Mu Tingchen stared at himself in the mirror, as if he saw a pair of demonic horns slowly emerging from his hair.
Although this is not the path he wants to choose, the reality is often not up to him.
"Ting Chen?" Yan Xiaoyu's voice came from outside, "Are you okay? Why did you go for so long? Did you eat a bad stomach?"
"I'm fine. Mu Tingchen shouted outside.
Since you forced me, then...... Don't blame me for being rude. One day, I will expose your hypocrisy. Let you also know what it feels like to be helpless and hopeless. Mu Tingchen muttered in his heart.
"Then hurry up, I see it's raining outside, we have to go home as soon as possible~" Yan Xiaoyu's voice came again.
Mu Tingchen picked up the tissue next to him, wiped the water on his face, and then strode out.
Determined to take revenge in his heart, he seemed to become lighter. It seems that he has never been so relaxed in this period of time, and the taste of tangled is really uncomfortable.
Maintaining the image of a good son-in-law, Mu Tingchen politely greeted the Yan family, took Yan Xiaoyu's hand and left.
On the way home, Yan Xiaoyu felt that Mu Tingchen was weird today. When he came out of the bathroom just now, he was like a person who had figured out a lot of things, and he was completely a very good image of a perfect son-in-law.
He is no longer unnatural and cold, but has become enthusiastic, and he has a very good attitude towards his family.
In a somewhat confused mood, Yan Xiaoyu asked, "Tingchen, did something happen to you?" I always think you are to blame......
"It's nothing, what's wrong with me?" Mu Tingchen said with a smile. But his heart was a little up and down.
Yan Xiaoyu shook his head, "I can't say it, I just feel that you are not the same as usual." ”
Did Ting Chen hear what his father said to him? No, according to Yan Xiaoyu's understanding of him, if he heard it, he would definitely come to ask him.
Yan Xiaoyu twisted his head to the side of the car window, looking at the scenery jumping outside the window, and kept thinking in his heart.
Mu Tingchen smiled, he comforted Yan Xiaoyu and said: "Don't be careful, I just think that my parents are really good to me, and I should be nice to them, right?"
"Hmm. Yan Xiaoyu nodded slightly, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Yan Xiaoyu felt that she was really stupid sometimes, and she didn't dare to think much about Mu Tingchen's affairs, let alone think about the bad side.
Even sometimes, she obviously felt that Mu Tingchen had a problem, but she still chose to believe him from the bottom of her heart.
That's it, let it be. Yan Xiaoyu exhaled.
And Mu Tingchen, who was beside him, was thinking about it all the time.
He knew that a smart person like Yan Xiaoyu would more or less see some clues. But knowing the truth was too cruel for her. The target of his revenge was Yan's father, not Yan Xiaoyu.
Even though she is that person's daughter, she still loves her deeply. No, it's not. Deeply loved? In short, it's right that I can't bear to hurt her.
The two people in the car had their own thoughts. None of them spoke, and the atmosphere was so deadlocked until they went home.
Late at night. It was the middle of the night with heavy rain, and at this time, Mu Tingchen was destined to not be able to sleep peacefully.
Listening to Yan Xiaoyu's steady and somewhat heavy breathing, he tiptoed open the corner of the quilt, got out of bed, and walked straight towards the study.
Once in the study, he gently pressed the door lock with his slender fingers. Then I walked over to the safe and entered the password.
He carefully read the information that Lin Wan gave him, and found that there seemed to be a part of the information missing at that time, but that part of the information was not important to him, it should have been omitted by Lin Wan.
So, he didn't want to pursue it.
He watched the whole process carefully three or four times, thinking thoughtfully.
To take revenge, you must first gain the trust of Yan's father. Only by knowing his work in person can he carry out the plan seamlessly.
At this time, Mu Tingchen suddenly remembered the person who broke into the office and came to him without permission that day: Zhang Yunsheng.
He pulled out his phone and opened the address book. He vaguely remembered that he had saved that person's mobile phone number because he was too worried.
Looking at the unfamiliar string of numbers, he didn't dare to press the broadcast button.
Do you really want to do this? Mu Tingchen asked himself in his heart.
In fact, he himself understands that once he sets foot on this road, he will never be able to turn back, and maybe he will have to take it himself.
He put down his phone and began to frustrate again.
In a blink of an eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the photo of him and Yan Xiaoyu on the table.
It was taken when they went on their honeymoon, when they were surfing, Yan Xiaoyu took the Polaroid and pressed the shutter at the moment when the two of them were laughing the most.
Look at the two people in the photo, smiling so brightly. And how happy I was at that time.
It's a pity......
Xiaoyu, I'm sorry. It was your father who did the wrong thing first, and he was unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust. I'm really sorry, Xiaoyu, please forgive me.
At this time, Mu Tingchen seemed to be naïve with Yan Xiaoyu's idea that he would understand him and support him.
But years later, when he looks back, he will realize how stupid he was at this time.
However, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders. At this time, he was gradually carried away by hatred. He put away the papers on the table, picked up his phone again, and pressed the button that sent the text message.
"Mr. Zhang, I think we can discuss what you said. Also, I'm sorry for my irrationality that day. ”
After editing this text message, Mu Tingchen sent it over.
He sighed deeply and put his hands on his chest, trying to calm himself.
He was both scared and expectant. Even a little excited. He didn't know whether such thoughts were right or wrong, and he couldn't restrain the lust in his heart.
That trace wants to completely destroy Father Yan's desire.
After a while, the phone rang. Mu Tingchen picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was Zhang Yunsheng's reply.
He didn't say much, just replied with a simple "yes".
Mu Tingchen deleted the text message, then turned off his mobile phone, returned to the bedroom and continued to sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yunsheng really came to Mu Tingchen's company.
What he told the front desk assistant was that he was entrusted by Yan to come to Mr. Mu. The assistant took him to Mu Tingchen's office, and in the process, he also met Yan Xiaoyu.
"Uncle Zhang?" Yan Xiaoyu was a little surprised, and she got up from her chair.
"Xiaoyu is also here, oh, your father asked me to come and talk to Mr. Mu, some cases are very good, and he is more relieved to say that he is handling it for Mr. Mu. Zhang Yunsheng smiled charitantly.
"Oh...... That trouble Uncle Zhang has a trip. Yan Xiaoyu also smiled in return.
Zhang Yunsheng nodded politely and walked straight to Mu Tingchen's office.
Mu Tingchen had already brewed two cups of high-quality Longjing tea and sat on the sofa waiting for his arrival.
"Yo, Mr. Mu is really diligent. As soon as Zhang Yunsheng came in, he deliberately quipped.
The corners of Mu Tingchen's mouth hooked, "After all, Mu Mou is not a person who breaks his word." Since there is something to ask for, it is necessary to make preparations in place. It's inhumane enough to let Mr. Zhang come to me. If I don't entertain Mr. Zhang well, then I'll ......."
"Hahaha, Mr. Mu, you are polite. There is no one between us who has something to ask for, we are a cooperative relationship. After Zhang Yunsheng finished speaking, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Zhang is such a truth-teller, I like your truth. Then I won't talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point. Mu Tingchen sat up straight, and his expression suddenly became serious.
