Chapter 956: Chapter 958: The Marriage Proposal Arrives (6)

Chun Liu hurriedly chased after them, while Mu Liankui clutched his chest and stomped his feet, his eyes red with emotion.

"Second Brother, look at the child your wife has raised, treating your own parents as enemies. Do you even recognize the ancestors of the Mu Family anymore? How could our Mu Family have such unfilial descendants..."

Lady Mu Bai slapped her thigh, wailing, "What sins did I commit in my past life? My grandchildren refuse to recognize us now. I might as well be dead..."

As she spoke, she stood up to dash her head against the wall, but Mu Chongfu and Mu Chongcai quickly held the grandmother back, comforting her, "Grandma, don’t be sad. Second Uncle is the son you and Grandpa painstakingly raised. He won’t ignore the duty of filial piety!"

Mu Zhongli pushed Mu Zhongqing, saying, "Second Brother, say something. Persuade Dad and Mom. On the way here the other day, Mom almost died. The doctor said she must not be saddened!"

Watching the main house’s fervent performance, Cai Wei couldn’t help but say sarcastically, "You consistently blame my mother and us, have you never considered how you acted? There is a cause for every effect. However you treated us initially, we are merely repaying you in kind now. You ask about the restaurant and the New Year’s goods? Let me be clear with you, yes, it was my doing. Who told you to be greedy, to covet what does not belong to you? The punishment you deserved then, you still deserve now. Everything in this house was earned by me, and without my permission, nobody dare dream of touching a single penny; I will remain unyieldy!"

"Wei’er!"

Mu Zhongqing cried out, his face a picture of shock, "What nonsense are you talking? How could you possibly have done such heinous acts? Don’t spout nonsense, quickly, apologize to your grandpa and grandma, and let’s never speak of this again."

Cai Wei gave a cold laugh, looking at her father, whose expression was equal parts complex and pained, and said coldly, "Dad, let’s forget about making apologies. Those things were indeed my doing. I have never thought myself in the wrong. Whether it is considered utterly unfilial or merely tit-for-tat, it’s up to the benevolent to see benevolence and the wise to see wisdom."

"However, regarding you, Dad, I want to say that the reason I respect you is because you are a man who clearly distinguishes love and hatred, right and wrong. I hope you won’t disappoint us. If you let us down, if you consider them more important than your own wife and children, then I am sorry, but you can leave with them. This estate is mine, everything at home is earned by me, and thus it’s my say. I don’t welcome them. Go join them, and see how they treat you without money and shops!"

"Hey, why so? Even if all the silver at home was earned by you, a daughter’s duty is to obey her father. The money belongs to the Mu Family, not for a mere girl to decide!"

Upon hearing Cai Wei’s intention to drive away Mu Zhongqing and the others, Mu Zhongli panicked. He loudly objected to Cai Wei and grabbed Mu Zhongqing’s shoulders, shouting, "Second Brother, are you still a man? Controlled by your own daughter, look at your parents being tormented by her. Are you even a descendant of the Mu Family? Damn it, just say something!"

Mu Zhongqing’s lips quivered a few times. Looking at his daughter’s indifferent face and then at his silently weeping wife, he knew what his stance would imply. After hesitating a great deal, he heaved a deep sigh and said, "Wei’er, it’s already quite late today. Can we let your grandpa and grandma stay for now? Let Dad think it over tonight, and we can talk about this again tomorrow, alright?"
