Chapter 61: What Grudge, What Enmity

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: What Grudge, What Enmity

"Mu Yunxi, did I dig up your family’s ancestral grave or steal your instant noodle seasoning packet? What grudge or grievance do you have against me that you must slander and frame me?"

Fang Anning angrily returned to Mu Yunxi’s side and raised her hand to slap him.

Mu Yunxi already had injuries on his face, and now being hit, he winced in pain.

"Don’t hit me anymore, can’t you see my face is all injured? How can you still bear to hit me?" Mu Yunxi said pitifully.

Fang Anning was almost amused by her anger, she crossed her arms and said: "How can I not bear it? What relationship do I have with you? We’re not even friends! I asked you for a favor, and that’s why I owed you one. But you used this opportunity to frame me. Did you drug the water? Did you purposely let Mrs. Liao see and then have He Tingchen come to catch us in the act? You are really malicious, knowing fully well He Tingchen’s temper and personality, you are trying to get me killed."

"What good does it do me if you die? If you die, I’ll die too. Anning, I really like you, why won’t you believe me?"

"Shut up, do you think I’m a naïve fool to believe your nonsense?" Fang Anning shouted in anger.

She was nearly driven mad by Mu Yunxi.

This guy, he’s determined to malign her without any regret.

But why is he doing this?

Fang Anning simply sat down on the ground and began to carefully recall every little detail of her acquaintance with Mu Yunxi.

Suddenly, she turned her head to Mu Yunxi and asked, "Is it because of your cousin that you are framing me, right?"

"What cousin?"

Mu Yunxi was exhausted from being up all night and now he could barely keep his eyes open.

Fang Anning scoffed, "What cousin? Of course, He Tingchen’s fourth wife, your dead cousin. Were you close to her? Do you think she was killed by He Tingchen, so you want to harm He Tingchen by killing me? Mu Yunxi, you are really vicious and detestable."

"Think whatever you like, I just really like you," Mu Yunxi said unwaveringly.

Fang Anning took a deep breath; indeed, you can’t wake someone who’s pretending to be asleep.

He was determined to frame her; anything she said was useless.

Since talking to him was useless, Fang Anning had no choice but to consider what He Tingchen would do.

What would He Tingchen do to her?

Considering the fate of his previous wives, it seems likely they were intentionally framed and killed by him.

Now that she survived He Tingchen’s framing, but was caught in an affair. Would he not kill her, and leave her for the New Year?

No matter how Fang Anning analyzed it, she felt He Tingchen would not spare her life, this time she was doomed.

She regretted not spending more time with her mother in the United States.

She regretted even more not telling Li Xiaoxiao the details about her inheritance from Zhou Xueqin’s will.

She wondered if He Tingchen had any conscience, whether after her death, he would leave Zhou Xueqin’s estate as her legacy for her mother and Li Xiaoxiao to use.

"Can you untie me first? I’m really uncomfortable," Mu Yunxi pleaded in a low voice.

"Serves you right, suffer to death!" Fang Anning cursed him.

However, two hours later, she still untied him.

Mu Yunxi smiled and said, "I knew it, you’re not such a heartless person."

"Get away from me," Fang Anning cursed.

Mu Yunxi had no choice but to move aside.

He looked at Fang Anning’s anger-darkened face and sneered, "You wouldn’t really be in love with He Tingchen, and that’s why you don’t want him to misunderstand, would you?"

"I just don’t want to die," Fang Anning said.

Indeed, she just didn’t want to die, but to fall in love with He Tingchen?

She thought about her interactions with He Tingchen during this period and immediately denied it in her heart.

How could she possibly fall in love with such a Devil?

She was the sober one among mortals, looking only towards money. If it were not for the benefits of being with the He family, she would have slipped away long ago!

"Maybe we won’t die; there might be a glimmer of hope," Mu Yunxi said.

"Why would you think that?" Fang Anning immediately asked.

Mu Yunxi looked at her with a bitter smile and asked, "So, are you willing to talk to me now?"

"Cut the crap and tell me quickly," Fang Anning scolded.

Mu Yunxi said, "We were caught and brought back from the hot springs resort. So many people witnessed it, do you know what that means?"

"It means I got caught in bed with you, and from now on, people will point fingers at me whenever I go out," Fang Anning huffed coldly.

Mu Yunxi shook his head, continuing, "It means a lot of people saw us being taken away by He Tingchen. This matter will definitely reach my father’s ears, and he certainly won’t want me to be killed by He Tingchen, so he will definitely confront He Tingchen. Although our Mu family is not as powerful as the He family, He Tingchen would have to consider his actions carefully before trying to kill me."

"Cut it, if He Tingchen was afraid of your family, why would your cousin have died at his hands?" Fang Anning said disdainfully.

Mu Yunxi fell silent, and after a while, he said in a low voice, "My cousin’s situation was different. She was not my uncle’s biological daughter, but a child his wife brought with her. Otherwise, why do you think it was her who married He Tingchen? When she died, my uncle got a sum of money and was too happy to trouble the He family."

"So, just like me, she was merely cannon fodder," Fang Anning said with a bitter smile and a shake of her head.

Mu Yunxi said, "When my cousin married He Tingchen, there had already been three deaths before her. Which family with even a slight status would want their biological daughter to marry him? He’s the King of Hell; to marry him is tantamount to death. Only someone like my cousin and you, with your status, would be sent over."

"It seems you were close to your cousin, but even if you wanted to avenge her, why target He Tingchen and set me up?" Fang Anning asked angrily.

Mu Yunxi looked at her with a deep gaze.

Fang Anning clenched her teeth and huffed, "I get it now. You simply don’t dare to mess with He Tingchen. You’re incompetent but discontented. So, you wanted to put green hat on He Tingchen by framing me intentionally. Mu Yunxi, you’re really a bastard."

"Don’t be so pessimistic right now. As I said, we might not die. My father will definitely come to rescue me," Mu Yunxi said.

"Get lost," Fang Anning cursed furiously, "Even if your father comes, he will only save you and not me. I am He Tingchen’s wife, with my life and death firmly in his hands. He might not dare to kill you, but wouldn’t he dare kill me to vent his anger? Mu Yunxi, I’m telling you, if I die, I won’t let you go even as a ghost."

"If my father comes to save me, I will urge him to save you too. Fang Anning, no matter what, I will take responsibility for you. If we can survive, I will marry you," Mu Yunxi solemnly promised.

Fang Anning was not moved in the slightest.

She huffed coldly, "Save it! You just want to take revenge on He Tingchen, making sure he wears the green hat. You think I’m stupid? Marry you? Marrying you would be akin to an implicit admission that I cheated on him with you."

"Forget it, I know you’re emotional right now. Just calm down and think it over before we talk again."

Mu Yunxi, both in pain and exhaustion, was sleepy as hell. Too tired to argue with Fang Anning any further, he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

Fang Anning sighed, wondering how she could be so unlucky.
