Chapter 701: Chapter 744: Uncle, When Did You Find Out?

Huo Junmo raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you think it’s really fine to scare your little sister-in-law like that?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Yan Qinghan feigned innocence and replied, "I didn’t! I just told her about what might happen in the future, but magnified a bit. Do you think I’m wrong? If Mu Beiting and Gu Xingchen continue fighting like this, isn’t it likely that what I said will come true?"

Xiang Qingshi spread his hands and looked at Yan Qinghan with a half-smile, "So, are things resolved now? Didn’t we come in vain?"

Originally, they came today to resolve the issue between Mu Beiting and Gu Xingchen! Now, it was settled with just a phone call from Yan Qinghan! Didn’t they brave the snowstorm and come here for nothing?

"Since things are settled, the three of us brothers should go out and celebrate! Let’s go! My treat!" Saying this, without waiting for Huo Junmo and Xiang Qingshi’s response, he directly stood up, took the coat from the rack, and put it on!

Huo Junmo and Xiang Qingshi exchanged glances and stood up together, leaving with Yan Qinghan.

.........

On the other side, after finishing the call with Yan Qinghan, Ye Anxin had no mood to read anymore. She sat blankly on the sofa, her mind constantly replaying Yan Qinghan’s words on the phone!

Has Uncle really turned against Gu Xingchen?

Why did Uncle take action against Gu Xingchen? Could it really be because of her? But how did Uncle know that Gu Xingchen was involved in this?

Looking at the book on her lap, Ye Anxin truly had no mood to read anymore, so she placed it on the sofa and started thinking about how to speak with Mu Beiting!

Mu Beiting’s meeting lasted a long time, until twelve thirty when he returned to the office.

Mu Beiting put the file he was holding on the desk, walked over to Ye Anxin, and said softly, "Are you hungry? I’ve already instructed Pete to call for food, lunch will be delivered soon, just wait a bit, hold on!"

"I’m not hungry, it’s not urgent!" Ye Anxin shook her head, her mind occupied with what Yan Qinghan just said, not feeling hungry at all.

"Hmm!" Mu Beiting nodded, just about to get up and return to his desk to continue working when Ye Anxin grabbed him.

Mu Beiting turned his head to look at her and asked with concern, "What’s wrong?"

Ye Anxin pursed her lips and, after hesitating for a while, reluctantly said, "Uncle, just now Mr. Yan called me!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting’s expression sank and he pressed his thin lips without saying a word.

Seeing his demeanor, Ye Anxin nervously licked her lips and asked, "Uncle, Mr. Yan said that you and Mr. Gu have become bitter adversaries and are fighting fiercely! Is this true?"

Mu Beiting touched her head and softly said, "Don’t think too much about business matters, I’ll handle everything myself. You just need to take care of your pregnancy!"

After listening to Mu Beiting, Ye Anxin tightened her grip on his hand and anxiously said, "What Mr. Yan said is true, right? You and Mr. Gu have really turned against each other? Why? Is it because of me? Did Uncle find out what Mr. Gu did to me?"

Other than this reason, Ye Anxin couldn’t think of any other reason that would cause good brothers to turn against each other! And the timing was just right, it happened a week ago! Wasn’t that when Uncle found out about what Li Lin and Su Yuexin had done to her?

When she carefully thought about the whole situation, it seemed that the reason Uncle and Gu Xingchen became bitter enemies was ninety-nine percent because of her.

Mu Beiting’s expression didn’t change at all, his tone was very calm as he said, "Stop overthinking! I act with discretion, I won’t act recklessly!"

Mu Beiting’s words made Ye Anxin even more uneasy, "How is it not recklessly! Mr. Yan just told me that the struggle between you two brings no benefits! Though I’m not smart, I do know that when two tigers fight, both will end in defeat! I don’t want Uncle to get into trouble, and I definitely don’t want Uncle to ruin the hard-earned business because of me!"

Mu Beiting said emphatically, "I won’t fail!" This statement unmistakably admitted what Ye Anxin had said!

Seeing him admit it, Ye Anxin held his hand tightly, opened her palm, placed it on her own warm cheek, and softly said, "Uncle, I know you won’t fail, and I know Uncle has confidence and ability! But, I don’t want you and Mr. Gu to quarrel over my affairs and end up like this! Uncle, your friends are not many, apart from Mr. Yan, they’re only Mr. Huo, Mr. Xiang, and Mr. Gu! Though they might not be as close to you as Mr. Yan, I know that once Uncle is in trouble, they will unconditionally step out to help Uncle! Uncle only has me and Xiao Bai as family! So, I don’t want Uncle to turn against Gu Xingchen! Especially because of me!"

Mu Beiting’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I have no brothers!"

Seeing Mu Beiting’s denial, Ye Anxin raised her eyes to look at him, her watery eyes blinking, "You don’t? Whether they are brothers or not, at least I know these four are the only ones who are not afraid when they see Uncle! They are also the ones who dare to go out and play with Uncle, and will come out to help when Uncle is in trouble! Uncle, listen to me, don’t fight with Mr. Gu anymore, stop it! I really don’t want you brothers to turn against each other!"

Mu Beiting’s thin lips pursed, and he resolutely said, "No way!"

Ye Anxin refused and called out, "Uncle!"

Mu Beiting said expressionlessly, "If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If people offend me, I will return it tenfold hundredfold! If I can’t even protect my own woman, then I don’t deserve to be a husband!"

Ye Anxin followed up on Mu Beiting’s words, "So Uncle knows that Li Lin and Su Yuexin framed me, and Mr. Gu secretly helped, right?"

Mu Beiting remained silent, his thin lips tightly pressed.

Ye Anxin blinked and asked, "Is Uncle admitting this?"

Mu Beiting still remained silent, his expression unchanged!

Ye Anxin curiously asked, "Uncle, how did you find out? Was it after I confessed to you, and you investigated it, or did you already know when I confessed to you? Or maybe you knew even earlier?"

Actually, that morning in the hotel, when she talked to Uncle, his response made people suspicious!

Thinking back now, Uncle definitely already knew about this, but he didn’t speak, pretending not to know, keeping the matter in his heart!

So, she’s really curious now about when Uncle actually found out? She had a feeling it was a week ago! But how did he find out?

Mu Beiting remained silent for a while, then lightly nodded.

Ye Anxin asked doubtfully, "How did Uncle know?"
