Chapter 1653 - 1648: A Huge Basin of Dirty Water (First Update)

"Yeah, you’re pretty good at flattery!" Liu Chengzhi said, his expression instantly turning wistful.

"Pfft—" Mu Shuangshuang was amused by his plaintive look!

"Woman, what are you laughing at?" Liu Chengzhi asked, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Nothing much! I just felt like laughing!" Mu Shuangshuang replied.

She wouldn’t tell him that Liu Chengzhi had the makings of a domineering president.

The way he addressed her as "woman" was so assertive!

It’s a pity he’s too young, still immature. Otherwise, he’d surely have charmed a host of young girls!

"Hmph!" Liu Chengzhi snorted coldly, turning his head away, ignoring Mu Shuangshuang.

Mu Shuangshuang was left in peace.

She picked up the tea on the table, sipped lightly, and looked utterly composed.

But in less than half a cup of tea’s time, Liu Chengzhi couldn’t sit still!

He squirmed around as if he had hemorrhoids.

Mu Shuangshuang had already noticed but said nothing.

Finally, Liu Chengzhi couldn’t hold back!

He opened his mouth and asked, "Aren’t you curious about how they’ll resolve today’s issue?"

"Not curious!" Mu Shuangshuang shook her head.

"Why not?"

"Because the result isn’t out yet!"

"..."

Liu Chengzhi was defeated by Mu Shuangshuang. What did this woman eat to grow up so calm?

Liu Chengzhi’s puzzled gaze met Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes, and she just smiled without speaking.

To be honest, she was curious about how the Sun and Liu families would resolve today’s issue.

However, she couldn’t show her face; if she went, she’d likely have the blame thrown on her!

What a pity, what a pity!

...

...

Sun Family’s backyard—

At this moment, everyone was divided into two factions.

One led by Mrs. Liu was adamant that Mu Qingqing had not done anything shameful with Niu Laoscar!

The other, led by Sun Wei, believed Mu Qingqing to be wanton and improper.

After a long standoff between Mrs. Liu and the Sun family, she spoke again, "Mr. Sun, since you don’t believe what we say, then bring out the adulterer you mentioned. I want to confront him!"

"Confrontation it is! I’m not afraid of you! Housekeeper Sun, bring him in for me!" Mrs. Sun suddenly raised her voice, yelling at Housekeeper Sun.

"I’m on it!" Housekeeper Sun said respectfully, then retreated.

When he returned, several servants led Niu Laoscar in from outside.

Niu Laoscar started shouting as soon as he saw Mu Qingqing, "Qingqing, Qingqing, I’ve finally seen you! Qingqing, now no one can separate us..."

Mu Qingqing was startled by Niu Laoscar’s sudden appearance and his pretentious familiarity.

"You... it’s you..." Mu Qingqing remembered Niu Laoscar.

This was the man she had paid to smash up the Shuangshuang Restaurant.

Mu Shuangshuang—

Mu Qingqing squinted her eyes, seemingly recalling something.

Suddenly, she shouted, "It’s Mu Shuangshuang, this person was bribed by Mu Shuangshuang! He came to ruin my wedding banquet on purpose; don’t fall for their trick!"

"Mu Qingqing, you’re still lying! The moment this man came in, you looked shocked. You obviously know him!"

Sun Wei didn’t believe Mu Qingqing’s words, and Mu Qingqing’s just-now reaction already made him suspect there was something between Mu Qingqing and this man!

"I..." Mu Qingqing indeed knew him.

But she only knew this man because she had paid him to harm Mu Shuangshuang.

"What do you mean ’I’? Your adulterer has shown up at our Sun family, and you still won’t admit it? Mu Qingqing, luckily we haven’t married yet; if we had and then discovered this, would I be raising someone else’s child?"

Sun Wei yelled at Mu Qingqing.

"No... it’s not like that! Husband, believe me, I’m not that kind of person! I don’t know this man, and have nothing to do with him!" Mu Qingqing shook her head desperately.

Sun Wei ignored her, so she turned to Mrs. Liu for help.

"Mother, it’s not me; I don’t know this man!" Mu Qingqing said.

"Qingqing, did they threaten you? Is that why you won’t acknowledge me? I’m telling you, don’t be scared; even if it means dying, I won’t let you suffer, Qingqing..."

At this moment, Niu Laoscar’s acting was as good as an Oscar-winning actor’s.

He remembered Mu Shuangshuang saying if he could pull this off.

Maybe the bride would end up being his wife!

When he came in, he had hoped for nothing, but now seeing Sun Wei seemed reluctant to marry this bride.

Mu Qingqing, dressed in bridal attire, was as beautiful as a flower, and he began to plan!

Since he was going to marry a wife anyway, he might as well marry a beautiful one for his own pleasure!

"Shut up, I don’t know you! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll have your tongue cut out!" Mu Qingqing scolded Niu Laoscar.

"Qingqing, what’s wrong? Why won’t you acknowledge me? Yesterday, you said you wanted to leave with me?

I’ve waited for so long and didn’t see you! Today I came to find you, only to be beaten up by this beast. I... I’m so miserable!"

Niu Laoscar threw mud on Mu Qingqing while accusing Sun Wei.

Mu Qingqing’s face turned as red as liver from anger.

Sun Wei was also fuming, "Stop talking nonsense! When did I have someone beat you? Clearly, this wench wanted to marry into our Sun family, so she had someone take care of you earlier!"

Sun Wei self-assuredly claimed he hadn’t seen Niu Laoscar before today.

How could he have found someone to beat up Niu Laoscar?

Clearly, Mu Qingqing feared exposure and tried to take care of Niu Laoscar herself!

Mu Qingqing, Sun Wei, and Niu Laoscar each insisted on their stories, unwilling to step back.

Mrs. Liu, fearing Mu Qingqing would suffer, stepped forward!

"I think there’s something fishy going on!" Mrs. Liu said.

"Of course, you’re saying that because Mu Qingqing is your daughter! Now my son is the one suffering, and everything you say is in favor of your daughter!" Mrs. Sun said to Mrs. Liu.

"Mrs. Sun, I hope you can calm down! It’s not only your Sun family that’s taken a hit, but our Liu family and our Qingqing have also suffered greatly!

This man appeared out of nowhere, clearly intending to ruin the marriage between our two families. You’re not investigating the matter but are directly pouring mud over Qingqing. Have you considered the immense harm it would do if Qingqing were wronged?"

Every word Mrs. Liu said was in defense of her foster daughter Mu Qingqing.

"Madam, stop lying! Qingqing and I are in love; no matter how you try, you can’t break us apart!" Niu Laoscar challenged Mrs. Liu.

As soon as he said this, the Sun family members, like cats smelling fish, perked up.

"You heard that, right? This man said even Mrs. Liu knew about it! Knowing this man had ties with your daughter and still letting her marry into our Sun family is clearly cheating us!"

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu were at loggerheads.

This wretch not only caused her son to marry a wanton woman but also had her son beaten bloody. If she let this go, she wouldn’t be human!
