Although he was the head of the family, his authority was in Mu Linfeng’s hands nevertheless. What Mu Linfeng wanted was merely a puppet and a figurehead. He had to humbly guard his current extravagant lifestyle in the Mu family.
If he left the Mu family, he would lose everything, that was a certainty.
“Aren’t you going to think twice about it?!”
Song Enya pointed at Meng Qingxue and questioned him, “Is it really worth following in Mu Yazhe’s footsteps and giving up headship of the Mu family for such a woman?!”
Mu Yanchen glanced at Meng Qingxue.
He could not afford to be expelled from the Mu Group.
He wanted to give Meng Qingxue and her child the best things in life!
However, all of this was given to him by the Mu Group. If he were to leave the company, he would have nothing!
Meng Qingxue looked at him anxiously as if she had seen through his struggle. She smiled and said, “Yanchen, ignore her. Even if you leave the Mu Group, you won’t lose everything! Don’t you still have me?! And the child in my belly? How can you have nothing?!”
Song Enya rebuked angrily, “Shut up, you!”
“You should be the one to shut up!”
Meng Qingxue yelled at her before turning to Mu Yanchen. “Yanchen, don’t you know me well enough? I know, I know that you want to give me the best in life! But everyone has a different understanding of happiness! Some women want to live in big villas, and have servants at their beck and call, with nannies and bodyguards serving them round the clock! But, I only want you. And that’s enough for me! Even if you really have nothing, it’s fine!”
She paused for a moment, then said between sobs, “And on the contrary, I feel that if you had nothing, I can protect you and love you with a greater sense of ease! Because then, I don’t have to care about anyone’s opinion, nor would my motives for loving you be suspected! I love you only because of who you are. Nothing else is important!”
“Oh my, how touching! Do you really think that Yanchen will abandon the Mu Group because of you?!”
Grabbing and pinching down on the other woman’s chin, Song Enya continued. “Don’t you know how long he had been coveting everything that he has got today? Don’t you know how long he has yearned for this day? Now that he has everything, do you really think he’d be willing to give it up? Just for you?! Stop kidding yourself!”
She paused for a moment. “It’s easy for you to say those words, but don’t you know that a poor couple has a lot to worry about? What Mu Yanchen wants has always been very obvious. He will make the right decision on what and how to choose! It’s not your place to try to influence him!”
“Song Enya!”
Meng Qingxue glared at her and suddenly sneered. “I heard that you went through artificial insemination in order to get pregnant with Mu Yazhe’s child. However, you didn’t expect Mu Yazhe to swap the sperms and it was by way of a freak accident that you got pregnant with Yanchen’s child! So? Is this what you had wanted too?!”
Song Enya immediately looked embarrassed and yelled, “Shut up!”
Her gaze suddenly fell on Meng Qingxue’s belly. A cruel glint flashed across her eyes. She curled her lips with a hint of bloodlust!
“Do you think that just because you’re carrying this baby, you can finally have a good life?! You’re delusional! Let’s see how you can strut around in my face without this child!”
With those words, she suddenly reached out her hand and aimed it at Meng Qingxue’s belly!
“No!”
Shocked as well, Jiang Qimeng shrieked. “Enya!”
