Mu Beiting used such great force that with a loud ’bang’, the two doors slammed against the walls and then bounced back. Mu Beiting then forcefully pushed the rebounding doors again and strode inside!

The three people drinking and dining in the private room seemed to have expected his arrival. Not only were they not frightened by the sudden commotion, but they also continued dining with a composed and calm demeanor.

Seeing Mu Beiting approach, Yan Qinghan held up his wine glass and grinned, saying, "You’re here. Come, come, have a seat and drink a glass. We’ve been starving, waiting for you to come!"

Seeing Yan Qinghan with a teasing smile, Mu Beiting’s handsome face darkened. He strode over, waved away the wine glass Yan Qinghan extended, and said coldly, "Yan Qinghan, I warn you, if you disturb Anxin again for no reason, don’t blame me for being unkind to you!"

Yan Qinghan pouted, complaining, "Hey, what are you saying? Ye Anxin is my little sister-in-law. What’s wrong with connecting with her for the sake of my brother? You’re so domineering, even putting limits on this? My interaction with my little sister-in-law is pure, with nothing to hide!"

Hearing this, Mu Beiting suddenly bent down, approached closely, and grabbed his collar, gritting his teeth as he said, "Business matters don’t concern her. I don’t want her involved. If you go to her for business reasons again, you should know the consequences!"

Being grabbed tightly by Mu Beiting, not only was Yan Qinghan not angry, but he instead grinned, his eyes shrewdly shifted, and he said cheerfully, "If I remember correctly, we’ve been brothers for over twenty years, and you’ve never grabbed my collar over a woman! Sigh... It shows the importance of the little sister-in-law in your heart!"

"If you know, then stay away from her!" With that, he forcefully released Yan Qinghan’s collar and turned to leave.

Seeing him about to go, Huo Junmo quickly stood up and said, "Beiting, since you’re here, have a meal with us! It’s been a long time since we brothers sat and ate together!"

"No need!" Mu Beiting continued to walk toward the door without turning back.

Xiang Qingshi quickly stood up and blocked Mu Beiting, saying gently, "Beiting, don’t you want to talk with us? Look, Qinghan specifically ordered dishes you like! Let’s sit down and have a good chat!"

Mu Beiting pursed his thin lips and glanced at the table!

Xiang Qingshi grabbed Mu Beiting’s arm and pulled him to sit down between himself and Yan Qinghan, poured him a glass of red wine, and said with a smile, "Since you’re here now, you surely haven’t had dinner! If you go back now, the little sister-in-law and Xiao Bai would have finished eating, there’s no need to go hungry! Come, come, it’s been a long time since the four of us brothers sat down for a meal! Let’s eat and chat today!"

Mu Beiting gave him a faint glance, picked up the wine glass, and took a shallow sip.

"Mu Beiting, don’t blame me for calling the little sister-in-law today! This time you were too reckless, completely disregarding the consequences! It was because I’m your brother that I asked the little sister-in-law for help! You should know that your infighting gives a chance for those with ill intentions! If the three of us weren’t your brothers, we could have joined forces during your conflict to swallow your companies! The reason we did it was because of our brotherhood with you! I didn’t expect you not to appreciate it, but instead, grab my collar for the little sister-in-law! It really breaks my heart!" Yan Qinghan said while deliberately wiping his tears.

Seeing him deliberately act tearful, Mu Beiting frowned, his face covered with a shadow.

Xiang Qingshi couldn’t help but twitch his mouth and said speechlessly, "Alright, that’s enough! Your acting is way too exaggerated!"

Yan Qinghan deliberately sniffed, pouted, and said, "I’m sad, right? Despite my well-intentioned efforts, he treats me as an enemy without recognizing a good heart!"

Seeing Yan Qinghan carrying on, Huo Junmo finally couldn’t hold back and said, "Enough! If you keep this up, I’m going to be sick! Are you intentionally trying to ruin our dinner?"

"...!" Seeing Huo Junmo lose his temper, Yan Qinghan pouted and obediently shut his mouth, taking a sip of his wine.

Mu Beiting also quietly took a sip of wine, his thin lips against the rim of the glass, slowly and firmly said, "From now on, either he or I!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"...!" Hearing this, Yan Qinghan, Huo Junmo, and Xiang Qingshi were all slightly taken aback.

Yan Qinghan asked, both excited and puzzled, "I say Mu Beiting, what exactly happened? Everything was fine before, how did things suddenly become so strained between you and Xingchen? Did he desecrate your family grave or snatch your wife? Why did you suddenly act against him? We’re brothers, tell us so we can help you figure it out!"

Mu Beiting didn’t answer, only giving him a cold, warning glance!

Yan Qinghan shivered slightly under Mu Beiting’s glare and chuckled, "Forget it, forget it, I can’t be bothered with your matters! As long as you stop fighting, then all is well! If you two don’t fight, the world will be at peace!"

"Alright, let’s eat, eat," Huo Junmo quickly interjected to ease the situation!

Mu Beiting silently picked up his chopsticks and began to eat slowly and deliberately.

After drinking and eating enough, the four of them finally left in their respective cars.

After the incident with Gu Xingchen, it seemed as though Mu Beiting completely severed ties with Gu Xingchen, not only cleanly cutting off business matters, but also ceasing all usual interactions!

For Ye Anxin, as long as Mu Beiting didn’t fight with Gu Xingchen, the rest was beyond her concern!

Moreover, after the incidents with Li Lin and Su Yuexin, Ye Anxin was no longer able to face Gu Xingchen as she did before, so as long as they didn’t fight, the rest didn’t matter as much to her.

Days passed plainly and peacefully!

Almost every day, Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting would send Xiao Bai to school together, then go to the company with Mu Beiting. If company affairs ended early, they would pick up Xiao Bai and return home together. If things were busy, the driver would pick Xiao Bai up first!

Time quietly slipped by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed!

Mo Xuehong and Qin Muyao seemed to have disappeared from Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting’s world as well!

Since Mu Beiting saved Ye Anxin at the hospital, that was the last time Ye Anxin saw Qin Muyao. She only knew that Mu Beiting hadn’t sent Mo Xuehong and Qin Muyao to jail, but she knew nothing else!

The day after that event, she saw Mo Xuehong once, but since then, she hadn’t seen them again! It’s as if they vanished from Jin City!
