"How could this happen? Isn't the Mu family the most powerful gang?"
"Yes, but I have been extremely protected since I was a child and my identity has not been disclosed to the outside world. I only made my public appearance this time during my grandfather's funeral... To them, I am an outsider who suddenly appeared.
I have picked up all the properties that have come down to me. Not everyone will obey you if you are a pampered and well-off young master."
Mu Xicheng half-lidded his eyelids and stared at her quietly:
"Grandpa knows this very well. In his will, he temporarily handed over all the rights and interests of the Mu family to Uncle He for management. He will return them to me when I am able to take on the responsibility."
Chanel understood, he was indeed the "puppet emperor"...
Then she understood the reason why Mu Xicheng Zengjin committed suicide. He said he hated this involuntary fate.
Chanel grabbed his shirt: "Can't you use your ability to change this fate?"
In her heart, Mu Xicheng is a bigger tree than her, and she must rely on him to support everything.
He should be omnipotent and invulnerable to any difficulty. Why can't he contend?
"Xia Nai." Mu Xicheng sighed lowly, "I can take on the mission given by the Mu family, and I can be a true young master of the Mu family. However, this kind of intrigue, life of swordsmanship and bloodshed is not what I want.
What I want, it’s not that I can’t do it, it’s that I don’t want to do it.”
Mu Xicheng has a quiet nature, and like Chanel, he likes an easy and comfortable life.
They don't like disputes and long for peace. They just want to do a career they love in their own world with the people they like.
Chanel was silent, her mood was very complicated.
She was happy for Mu Xicheng's explanation and happy that he had never lied to her. He really had no choice but to do so!
But she felt sad at the same time. She couldn't help but feel sad for Mu Xicheng...
Mu Xicheng pulled her into his arms again, but this time, his arms were very gentle: "Xia Nai, let's escape."
His equally soft words floated out, gently floating in Chanel's ears, like a feather flying to her.
But Shanel's whole body froze.
"Let's run away together and live a life that belongs to the two of us, okay?" He hugged her and said eagerly, "In this life now, every day is the greatest torture to me."
Shanel's heart began to pound heavily, and she was held in his arms with some sadness.
She also wanted to escape and live a happy life that only belonged to the two of them...
However, if they could have done it earlier, they would not be where they are now.
"Mu Xicheng, you know, I can't..." She held up her hands, trying to distance them, "I really can't."
However, she had just escaped from his arms and was hugged tighter by him again.
"You can...Xia Nai, save me." He begged in a low voice, "Only you can save me now."
"No, no one can save you. Only you can save yourself." Chanel raised her cheek and looked at him with a tight frown, "Tell me about dad."
With them together, my father in heaven will definitely not be able to rest in peace.
And her heart couldn't forgive his actions...
Mu Xicheng looked at her painfully: "Xia Nai, have you never believed me?"
"I only believe in myself..." Believe in others, especially the most complete trust. In the end, only yourself will be hurt.
