Mu Jiu Chen also looked at Tan Xue. He was quite curious about this matter. His father, a man like that, had kept such a terrible secret until now. He never would have thought it.
Mu Yun Xiao suddenly leaned on his cane, "Mu Yun Xiao, you scoundrel, you've been a bastard since you were young. You didn't even restrain yourself after getting married, and now you're saying things like this just to get a divorce?"
"Dad, I'm telling the truth. Why don't you believe me?" Mu Yun Xiao looked at the old man. Wasn't it true that he hadn't met someone he truly loved and thought it didn't matter who he spent his life with?
At fifty, he met Yun Tong, and he felt like his entire life had come alive. He now only wanted to spend his life with the woman he loved and looked forward to the birth of their children, twins. He was so excited.
The old man glanced at him and taunted him unceremoniously, "Others rely on their own abilities for exams, while you rely on your deskmate. Others rely on their capabilities at work, while you rely on slacking off. Others talk about love with true feelings, while you talk about love with imagination. If you don't clarify things, who will believe you? Also, words, once spoken, are like water poured out. The water from your mouth is very expensive, so watch what you say and have some decency."
Mu Yun Xiao: "..." You don't need to compare everything from my childhood.
Mu Yun Xiao looked at Mu Yun Yun, "Yun Yun, whose daughter are you? Ask your mother. But I can assure you, you are not my daughter."
Mu Yun Yun felt her world collapsing. She shook her head in pain, "No, Dad, you're lying. You're saying this just to divorce Mom." Mu Yun Yun couldn't accept this reality.
Mu Si Chen, sitting beside them, also felt guilty. Why wasn't Yun Yun his father's daughter?
He also wanted to know the reason.
"Mom, say something?" Mu Yun Yun looked at her tearfully.
Tan Xue painfully closed her eyes. She hadn't expected to lose so completely. She had always thought she had hidden it well.
"He is indeed not your biological father," Tan Xue finally admitted the fact. In the end, she was the one who looked the most pathetic.
"Who?" Mu Yun Yun looked at her, her eyes full of disbelief. Her features were deep-set, unlike her second or eldest brother.
But she had never doubted her own parentage.
Tan Xue remained silent, not daring to look at her daughter. She would not reveal who it was.
Mu Yun Xiao stood up angrily, looking at Tan Xue, "So it's true. Tan Xue, I've actually always suspected that Yun Yun wasn't my daughter. I just didn't have any evidence. Why were you so eager to send her abroad when she was just a few years old?"
"Later, when Yun Yun came back once, I felt unbearable, so I did a paternity test. It turned out she wasn't mine." However, he hadn't found out whose daughter Yun Yun was all these years.
Tan Xue and the other party didn't seem to have been in contact either.
Tan Xue looked at him with a cold, sharp gaze. Elegant and noble, she maintained an unapproachable demeanor.
"Mu Yun Xiao, Yun Yun is not anyone's daughter; she is our daughter. You've raised her for so long. Hasn't she treated you well? Hasn't she respected you?" Tan Xue asked Mu Yun Xiao word by word.
Mu Yun Xiao's face turned ugly, "I don't have such generous thoughts as you. Sign it. I've given you everything I should."
After speaking, Mu Yun Xiao threw the divorce agreement in front of Tan Xue.
Tan Xue slowly picked up the divorce agreement and glanced at the conditions. Indeed, everything that should be hers had been given to her. Stocks, villas, cars, shops—the couple split everything fifty-fifty.
He was truly generous for that vixen.
"Dad, I will not let Mom divorce you." Mu Si Chen looked at him, "At your age, you still have the energy to raise another son?"
Mu Yun Xiao narrowed his eyes, "How did you know?"
"Hmph! Such things can be found out quickly," Mu Si Chen said with a cold laugh, feeling very upset in his heart. This was his father. In his eyes, his father was serious, but also very unfaithful.
Once he stepped out the door, he was a beast in human clothing.
Mu Yun Xiao looked at him expressionlessly, "This is between your mother and me. It's none of your business."
"Dad, do you want to tear this family apart?" Mu Si Chen suddenly stood up, his gaze sweeping over Mu Jiu Chen's calm face. His feelings were complicated. For Mu Jiu Chen, his mother's suffering would only make him happier.
"Living together without feelings is tormenting each other. Your mother doesn't have me in her heart, so why force it?" Mu Yun Xiao slowly sat back on the sofa.
When two people in love see each other, they feel happy. When they can't see each other, they miss them terribly. That's how he felt now. Seeing Tong Tong leave in tears, he was heartbroken.
Love without feelings is full of discomfort and awkwardness.
He and Tan Xue hadn't shared intimacy in a long time.
Cold violence in intimate relationships can drive people insane and leave them with countless wounds.
Seeing this situation, Old Master Mu realized he had nothing to do here.
"Xiao Jiu, I think we should leave. There's nothing for us here," he nudged Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen also knew that Tan Xue wouldn't divorce easily.
However, he... a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Since things have come to this, let's talk about the cause of my mother's death." This was the most difficult pain for him to speak of.
Mu Yun Xiao: "..."
His gaze flickered as he said, "Your mother already had a weak heart. She died of a sudden cardiac arrest. You already know this. Why are you still dwelling on it?"
Mu Jiu Chen sneered, "Do you take me for Mu Si Chen?"
Mu Si Chen: "..." What does this have to do with me!
"Mu Jiu Chen, don't be so presumptuous!" Mu Yun Xiao couldn't stand his son. His tone and gaze made him very angry.
Mu Jiu Chen's cold, stern eyes suddenly overflowed with intense anger, "You and Tan Xue know best how my mother died. Her body is barely cold, and you still want this divorce?"
Mu Jiu Chen stood up and looked at the old man, "Old Master, let's go. I'll escort you back to sleep. Although your legs won't be able to straighten up to sleep after tonight's events, you can still manage to get some sleep, as you're not young anymore."
The old man abruptly stood up and glared at him, "Why can't I sleep with my legs straightened? Have I done anything wrong?"
"I am upright and have a clear conscience. Those who cannot sleep with their legs straight should be people like you who stir up trouble all day long. Everyone finds you annoying."
After speaking, the old man grabbed his cane and was about to leave.
"Dad," Tan Xue suddenly called out to him.
The old man looked at her, "What? Do you think this old man, half in the grave, has the ability to manage your affairs?"
Tan Xue looked at him, "If you want me to divorce, I'll take the villa here."
The old man: "..."
He glanced at his shocked and dumbfounded idiotic son and asked, "Don't you think this mansion is already part of the property you're giving her?"
