Qin Mu can only work overtime, while Mu Yichen returns home three days later.

——

The Mu Family living room.

"She can frame you, wrong you, why don’t you cry out for injustice? You’ve always been exhausting yourself to protect her, to protect her father. Everyone is upset about what happened, but why should you bear such a false accusation?"

Feng Fanghua stood behind the couch, shouting at her son who just got home, with deep-seated resentment in her heart.

Mu Yichen didn’t say anything, he just felt a bit headachy.

"Use the harshness you once showed to me and your father against her, even if just half of it, but why won’t you make a sound? Mu Yichen, you’re really making your mother feel embarrassed for you, you know?"

Feng Fanghua couldn’t help but yell at her son. In her heart, her son had such a tall image, yet this tall son of hers was bottling up his indignation towards that woman, infuriatingly so.

Mu Yichen didn’t refute a single word, he just quietly listened to his mother scolding him. He thought, Feng Fanghua must have held it in for a long time.

But, who on earth relayed these words to his mother’s ears?

He and his grandfather had already agreed not to tell Feng Fanghua initially, so this definitely spread through someone else’s mouth.

"Yichen, have you even given her a call at all?"

Seeing Mu Yichen always so calm, Feng Fanghua finally calmed down as well, sitting back on the couch, softly asking her son.

"She’ll come back once she’s done with work, it’s not as serious as you think!"

Mu Yichen’s low voice finally poured out, explaining.

"Once she’s done? She’s a designer, can’t she do her work anywhere? Does it have to be in Paris?"

Feng Fanghua let out a light laugh, very much disagreeing with her son’s words.

She knew Mu Yichen was defending Qin Mu, but she just couldn’t handle her son being like this.

"In the business world, even a footstep from you would cause a huge tremor, and when it comes to Qin Mu’s matters, I think you need to show a bit of your might, don’t always let her think you’re easy to bully." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Feng Fanghua sat beside him, speaking clearly and emphatically to her son.

"After a while, all of this will be washed away by time!"

Mu Yichen was so calm that Feng Fanghua nearly jumped with frustration.

Furious, Feng Fanghua once again left him, stood up, and walked to the back of the couch: "You’re only capable of bullying me, no wonder she’s always oppressing you, serves you right!"

After saying so, Feng Fanghua headed inside, and Mu Yichen lifted his gaze, then helplessly raised his hand to pinch his brow.

He knew, he deserved it.

Mu Zihao waited until Feng Fanghua wasn’t in the living room before he dared to come downstairs. As he sat down and saw his son slumped on the couch in defeat, he couldn’t help but tease: "Oh, poor thing!"

Mu Yichen lifted his gaze, looking at him with that expression, as if to say, you’ve been bullied for decades and you’re still alive.

Mu Zihao knew he shouldn’t mock his precious son, so he glanced behind him and quietly said to Mu Yichen: "Your mom already called Mumu before she came back; she’ll probably return in a couple of days!"

Mu Yichen’s eyes lifted, suddenly looking much more spirited.

Mu Zihao chuckled again: "Don’t worry, with your mom around, Mumu can’t do anything to you!"

If Qin Mu is Mu Yichen’s nemesis, then Feng Fanghua is certainly Qin Mu’s nemesis.

"Who told my mom about Qin Mu not being in the country?"

"You don’t know? You two’s affairs have already hit the trending search list; you’ve been besieged by Mumu’s fans, and some are saying that because her father passed away, you want to divorce her."

Mu Zihao was puzzled, his son was actually ignorant of these happenings.

Mu Yichen, however, furrowed his brows slightly, his expression gloomy.

Unconsciously, he took out his phone from his pocket, shifted his slumped body, then slumped back down in another position, opening Weibo.

Who would have thought, a woman who has a Weibo but never uses it actually has over 30 million Weibo fans.

Her father passed away, she went abroad, and Mu Yichen suddenly became the heartless man who abandoned his wife.

After reading the comments on Weibo, Mu Yichen’s brow was tightly furrowed into a knot.

Who saw him abandon his wife?

Or was the impression he gave all these years really that of a petty man?

Yet, he still remembered back when he and Qin Mu occupied the hot search list for a long time, everyone said they were childhood sweethearts, deeply in love, why had it turned into this so quickly?

So, if she doesn’t come back soon...

However, before she returns, shouldn’t these rumors be overturned first?
