Chapter 435: Chapter 307 Only Belongs to You (Second Update)_2

On the other hand, Xiao Min and Xiao Shaoyu raised their eyebrows and watched the drama unfold with a sense of schadenfreude. This, of course, included the Xiao family’s madam, Wang Mei.

In this world, she might be the person who loathed Xiao Feng’s existence the most; why? His existence was a constant reminder of her husband’s infidelity, of the fact that their family inheritance would ultimately have to be shared with this illegitimate child. She would never allow this. Unfortunately, the family patriarch had always sheltered this bastard, otherwise, he would have long been disposed of.

Wang Mei couldn’t understand why her own father treated this bastard child better than her own children, despite his endless troublemaking. But he was still protected. Was this justice?

Of course, whether these people liked him or not didn’t matter at all to Xiao Feng. If they did like him, he would find that truly horrifying.

Listening to the words of this supposed father of his, Xiao Feng merely snorted coldly, a sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "The way you’re talking, it’s as if you’ve ever actually cared about me. If I did go in, would you really have the ability to pull me out? There’s no need for you to concern yourself so, Father." How ludicrous these words were.

Xiao Ming clenched his teeth in frustration, but before he could speak, he was scolded by the family patriarch. "Enough, look at where we are. Xiao Feng is a child; are you also a child?" The patriarch gave Xiao Ming a glance. Xiao Ming instantly kept quiet; he dared not challenge the patriarch’s authority. He also didn’t understand why his father treated this illegitimate child so well, always backing him without hesitation.

Of course, it was normal for him not to understand; after all, Xiao Ming didn’t know what it meant to cherish.

Xiao Ming snorted dismissively. A child? Would you call someone that old a child?

Ignoring him, the family patriarch turned to Xiao Feng. "Go on, thank this Young Divine Doctor for the favor she did us." Even though she had put him in danger, she had also given him a well-behaved grandson, for which he was grateful.

He assumed he would have the opportunity to meet her today; if possible, he would prefer to thank her in person.

"I understand, Grandpa." Xiao Feng nodded, his demeanor gentle, completely different from when he was dealing with Xiao Ming. After greeting old Mr. Hong and others, he left with Hong Boyuan.

Their goal was to locate Mu Lin.

Watching the two men leave, old Mr. Hong laughed, "Xiao Feng’s recent changes really have been quite significant."

"Indeed." The patriarch smiled satisfactorily. The group continued to walk forward. "We owe this change entirely to Young Divine Doctor Mu. If it weren’t for her leniency, even if I were to stake my own life, I wouldn’t be able to save him." They, as businessmen, could not afford to offend those in high positions. If it had been anyone else, they might not have been able to ever get out.

As for the other young men who were involved, the patriarch had heard a thing or two about their condition. They had barely managed to keep half their lives and were now confined and healing at home. How could he not feel fortunate?

The relationship between Mu Lin and Jing Chen, as understood through his grandson, was quite clear; his grandson had indeed benefited from this misfortune.

Hearing the patriarch’s words, the others in the Xiao family snorted, their faces showing complete disdain.

Xiao Feng...huh! No matter how much he changed, he would always be the same; he fundamentally didn’t qualify to be part of their family.

Elsewhere...

At this time, in Mu Lin’s room on the 29th floor, Yan Zilei and Xu Yibai were not present. Ya Yan was downstairs playing happily with Qiaozi and Yizi, seemingly not afraid of dirtying her freshly worn gown. As for Mu Lin and Jing Chen, they were upstairs.

Frankly speaking, Ya Yan would prefer it if Jing Chen stayed downstairs. If only he hadn’t brought Mu Lin upstairs with him. But now, she dared not arbitrarily open the door.

"I just came up to get some stuff, why did you follow me?" Mu Lin helplessly glanced at Jing Chen as she put what she needed into a quaint little handbag that Ya Yan had chosen for her in the daytime.

Jing Chen remained silent; he moved forward, slowly wrapping his arms around her petite waist from behind. His chin rested upon her shoulder, as if all his strength was relying on her for support.

"I really don’t want others to see you like this." His voice was filled with a strong sense of grievance.

On normal days, Mu Lin was dressed plainly, with no makeup, yet she had already brought him countless opponents. The person in his arms today was different.

Her long hair pulled back high, neatly tied at the back of her head, few strands spilling over her forehead, presenting a cold yet elegant aura with a hint of lazy charm. The pristine white gown complimented her skin, and she was wearing light makeup, unusually. How could he bear to let her leave this room looking like this?

Hearing Jing Chen’s words, Mu Lin appeared a bit helpless, "I’ve already promised them. Isn’t it a bit too late to say this now?" Mu Lin turned around, placing her hands around his neck, "You should think of it this way. No matter what others think, the person you hold right now is yours-" Only yours.

Her eyes bent, a flickering smile in her gaze, an indescribable, pure appeal which was tempting.

True, those words were correct, but he didn’t like it when others coveted what was exclusively his.
