Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 472 - Living His Life In a Drunken State



Chapter 472: Living His Life In a Drunken State

“Although we know Mayor Lin and Eldest Young Master Mu are good friends,” Mu Xichen spoke unhurriedly, and came straight to the point, “But ganging up to bully a girl doesn’t look very good on you.”

With this serious accusation, the smile on Lin Ya’s face vanished.

The initially gentle and mild expression on his face gave way to a restrained smile.

His response to Mu Xichen’s statement was unhurried. “Chief Mu, that’s such a wrong assumption. Since I’m standing right here, why don’t you ask Miss Li if I really did bully her?”

“Whether you did or not, I wouldn’t know for sure.” Mu Xichen stared at him calmly with his deep and dark eyes and continued, “But your guys hit her, so apologize.”

Lin Ya’s eyelid twitched. He asked, “Me?”

Mu Xichen didn’t answer, but the meaning was clear as daylight.

Lin Ya was astonished at this suggestion and almost laughed. He looked towards Li Beinian and said, as though teasing her, “Miss Li, you seem to be extraordinarily charming. Donglin drowned himself in alcohol for a few days all because of you and lost a few deals that were worth a few billion each, and now he’s still living his life in a drunken state. You, on the other hand… seem to be getting along with your ex-brother-in-law-to-be.”

Lin Ya’s expression was sharp and astute. His stare made Li Beinian most uncomfortable.

She frowned slightly and was about to say something when she noticed that next to Lin Ya, someone was looking at her with a bitter and jealous expression.

Lin Kerou pursed her lips, her hands were curled into tight fists. She looked as though she was full of grievance, and her eyes were visibly bloodshot.

But before she could observe the girl further, the back of a tall and large person stepped in front of her, obscuring her line of sight, at the same time shielding her.

Mu Xichen held his gaze on Lin Ya, giving off a frosty and dangerous aura. He repeated, “Apologize.”

Turning icy at being confronted by Mu Xichen’s insistence, he said, “Indeed, the ex-Chief Mu. I only hope that you continue to be this awe-inspiring.”

Li Beinian’s heart sank. There was a hidden meaning in those words.

Lin Ya then looked at the Wang brothers and said, “Indeed, it’s unbecoming to hit a woman. It’s reasonable to apologize.”

Wang Lei and Wang Hao exchanged a glance. They saw the consideration in each other’s eyes.

Mu Xichen wanted Lin Ya to apologize, it was Lin Ya that he wanted to shame.

But Lin Ya was looking to them to make the apology because he would not do so himself.

And if they apologized to Li Beinian, then, without a doubt, whether Lin Ya would admit it or otherwise, he would have to treat them well in the future.

The two brothers understood that well, so Wang Hao apologized first. “Indeed, it was my brother who was in the wrong first. As his elder brother, I apologize. I’m sorry, Miss Li.”

And even though unwilling, Wang Lei also apologized. “I’m sorry.”

Having heard their apology, Li Beinian’s expression softened. She said, “Mayor Lin, Yuxin is a good girl. I’m not sure how much standing she has in your family, but if this is a strategic marriage for certain benefits, I don’t think these two men are good choices.”

Wang Lei’s expression turned ugly. He barked, “Just because you’ve gained the upper hand you’re pushing your luck now, aren’t you? I…”

“That’s enough!” Wang Hao held him back even though he was obviously furious too.

Lin Ya gave a hint of a smile at these words and cast Li Beinian a meaningful look, saying, “Thank you for your concern. However, you look pale. I’d better accompany you to the hospital for a checkup.”

“No need for that,” Mu Xichen said icily with a cold and quiet expression. “Mayor Lin has to take some time out to educate his family members. We wouldn’t dream of troubling you.”

As he spoke, his cold gaze casually scanned the space behind Lin Ya.

Lin Kerou felt sorrowful, but in her eyes, there was a refusal to let go. She spoke up in a soft voice, “Chief Mu, may I know what sort of relationship you and Li Beinian share?”
