Chapter 361: Straightforward without Leaving Any Room for Dispute
Li Beinian noticed his gaze and started to laugh.
However, she seemed to be taunting him.
This look made Mu Donglin’s heart hurt.
From the start to the end, she never once showed weakness. She was neither humble nor pushy and she stood her ground firmly.
Until no one saw how many grievances she had suffered.
Mu Donglin shut his eyes and sighed deeply. “Nian Nian...”
“I will sue her!” Li Beinian interrupted him and said coldly. “You said it yourself. Murderers have to pay the price.”
“Brother Donglin...” Lin Kerou shivered and looked at him pleadingly. “Save me. I didn’t...”
“Shut up!” Mu Donglin demanded. “Do you know what you have just done? You were joking? Do you treat other people’s lives as a joke?”
Lin Kerou trailed off and did not say a word.
Even Li Meng did not expect Mu Donglin to be so angry.
She always thought that Mu Donglin was just acting with Li Beinian. Could it be that... he was serious?
Li Meng was unsure and she stared at them.
Mu Donglin was extremely disappointed. He walked towards Li Beinian and said seriously, “I’m sorry, Nian Nian.”
“What do you mean?” Li Beinian sneered. “She made a mistake and you’re apologizing?”
Mu Donglin knew that justice was not on his side, but he stubbornly said, “Nian Nian, no matter what the truth is, this is not a good thing to pursue. Her brother was just recently promoted to the mayor of Guang City. If you want to sue her, I’m afraid...”
“My grandpa is Li Xu.” Li Beinian coldly interrupted him. “The former president’s close friend.”
Mu Donglin froze and frowned. “Grandpa Li is getting old. Something like that would make the elderly worry...”
“You want me to let her go?” Li Beinian sneered. “On what grounds?”
“She has poor health and can’t be involved in such a filthy place.” Mu Donglin tried to convince her. “Furthermore, her parents have important positions in the circle. Even if you really sue her, she won’t be involved for long. Besides, you’re living well.”
“So you want me to really be murdered by her before getting justice back?” Li Beinian laughed sarcastically. “Please get your facts straight. Who exactly is your fiancèe? This woman wanted to kill me. Didn’t you just enjoy scolding me when I was accused as the murderer? Can’t bear to do it now that it’s her turn?
“I don’t care if she gets sent to jail for a day. She attempted murder and that’s a fact. The evidence is clear. You have no grounds to ask me to let it go.”
Li Beinian sounded calm, but it was obvious that she was furious.
However, what was she truly angry about?
Was she angry that someone was protecting Lin Kerou or that Mu Donglin was protecting Lin Kerou?
An inexplicable uncomfortable feeling appeared in Mu Xichen’s heart.
His face slightly darkened.
However, Mu Donglin was speechless for a while after hearing Li Beinian’s words. Finally, he said, “It takes time and effort to fight the lawsuit and she has a lot of backing. If you sue her, you will suffer. It’s better to reconcile.”
“On the grounds that she’s your childhood friend?”
“On the grounds that her brother is the mayor.”
“What if I say no?”
“I can promise you a condition. Lin Ya owes me a favor,” Mu Donglin said. “It will be a win-win situation.”
“You can promise me a condition?” Li Beinian sneered. “Let’s break the engagement, then. I can’t stand you anymore. You really disgust me!”
She was straightforward and left no room for dispute!
