Seeing Mu Li leave, Mu Yan scoffed. "I want to see how you're going to explain this!" She knew Mu Li, that bitch, wouldn't dare disobey her.

Leaving the coffee shop, Mu Yan took out her cell phone to call Mu Shaohua. "Dad, Mu Li has already promised to go and find Grandpa and apologize for his mistakes."

"Really?" Mu Shaohua was a little surprised. Although Mu Li had always been suppressed by them, his personality was still very stubborn. He thought that it would take some effort before he could get her to agree.

"Of course it's true. Dad, don't worry. With the hospital as a bargaining chip, she won't listen to us!"

When Grandpa returned, all he had to do was push all the responsibility onto Mu Li, saying that she had come to provoke them, and had even instigated Gu Tingxiao to blow up the gates. This matter would not be investigated by them.

"Good, good, good." Mu Shaohua said a few things consecutively, but Mu Li's weakness was her mother. It seemed that paying the money to protect the woman in the hospital wasn't a loss. "You be careful too, don't force her into a corner …"

"Panic? Dad, how could she have the guts? " Mu Yan wasn't worried at all.

"You still have to be careful. Your grandpa will be back soon. Don't make any mistakes at this time." As soon as this old man retired, the entire Mu Clan was handed over to Mu Shaohua. Thinking of this, he couldn't hide his excitement.

"There's an auction tonight. You should remember to find Gu Tinye and have the reporters know that you went there with the young master of the Gu family."

The marriage between the Gu Clan and the Mu Clan was a foregone conclusion. Despite the marriage between Gu Tingxiao and Mu Li, one was an abandoned son who had been kicked out of his family, while the other was a good-for-nothing who had been crippled for life.

The only ones who could help the Mu family were Mu Yan and Gu Tinye, who were engaged in a marriage alliance. No matter what, the Mu family had to reach a higher level in this matter.

"Don't worry, dad. Gu Shenwei has already invited me to go to the charity auction tonight."

Right now, the only thing that was worth showing off was that he could openly be with Gu Tinye. Who knew how many people were envious and resentful.

Mu Li didn't return to the villa. She walked along the road for a long distance. When she finally became tired, she took a taxi to the hospital.

After handing over the card that Gu Tingxiao had given her to the dean, she felt more at ease. It was as if a rope that had been wrapped around her neck for many years had finally been broken.

She breathed in the fresh air, and her whole body relaxed.

"Xiao Li, your mother's medical expenses have already been paid by the Mu family. Furthermore, there are still a lot of balance left. You don't have to pay in a hurry."

Seeing her swollen yet determined expression, Principal Zhang sighed internally, "What's wrong? Has he been bullied?"

In these past few years, he watched Mu Li grow step by step. A girl in flower, who should have had a beautiful youth, was nearly crushed by his mother's illness countless times.

Her thin shoulders had carried a lot of weight that others could not bear.

"Dean, I'm fine." Mu Li shook his head and insisted on giving the card to the dean. "If the Mu family threatens to cut off my mother's medical fees again, I'll use this card to continue the payment."

Hearing her words, Principal Zhang understood that it must be because the Mu family threatened her again, which was why she cried so hard.

It would be better not to accept the charity of that family if he were to live his life in such a state.

"Alright, I'll accept this card. You can relax too. It's fine if you don't rely on the Mu family. At the very least, you and your mother won't have to swallow your anger in the future."

"En, Headmaster, thank you. I'll be counting on you to take care of my mother. I'll be going first." With that, Mu Li turned around.

This time, she didn't even look at the ward. This was because she knew that if she saw her mother at this moment, she would definitely be unable to hold back her tears. She didn't want to shed tears in front of her mother.

Principal Zhang only let out a light sigh. Taking the card, he turned around and left as well.

Mu Li walked forward with a lifeless expression. She didn't take a taxi, so she didn't know how long it would take for her to return like this.

All in all, his heart was aching and he couldn't help but want to cry.

It was dark when the cold wind blew. Mu Li finally realized that she was surrounded by an unfamiliar environment. Who knew where she was.

It was already 7: 30 when Gu Ting Chen arrived home. Mu Li hurriedly took a taxi to catch a ride back home.

At this moment, Gu Tingchen's car happened to pass by. He looked at the person in front of him and said, "Second Young Master, it seems to be the Young Madam."

Gu Tingxiao followed the direction of the voice and noticed Mu Li standing there, shivering in fear.

"Second Young Master, do you want to pick the Young Madam up?" He asked.

"Stop the car!" Gu Tingxiao's voice was cold and there was a frown on his forehead. Why would this woman come here?

Yanzhi braked to a stop and got out of the car, "Madam, why are you so late already? Why don't you go home?"

When Mu Li saw this, he was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected to meet her here. "Is Ting Chen inside?"

Mu Li's voice was choked with sobs, but she didn't say why she was here and what she could solve. She didn't want anyone else to know, even if this person was her husband.

His words immediately felt that something was wrong, but he did not continue to ask, "The young master is inside, get on the carriage. I'll take you and the second young master home."

As he spoke, he opened the car door for Mu Li.

Mu Li's eyes turned red when he saw Gu Tingxiao sitting on the other side of the car.

"Are you cold? Hurry up and come up." Gu Tingxiao extended his hand, his tone extremely gentle. His words revealed traces of heartache.

Mu Li wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and placed his hand on Gu Tingxiao's. He only needed a single touch to feel that this woman's hand was bone-chilling cold.

Gu Tingxiao frowned, "Speak, turn on the air conditioner."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to gently rub Mu Li's hand in his own.

After Gu Tingcheng's actions, Mu Li could no longer hold back the grievances in his heart. He leaned on Gu Tingxiao's shoulder and wailed.
