No one knew Yuan Xuan's personality better than Mu Chenyan.
He was cold and arrogant with a hint of stubbornness. He was cunning and would not easily change his mind due to external influences.
Everyone in the outside world held a certain amount of respect for Luo Hai, the Crown Prince of the Yuan Family. Although Mu Chenyan did not care about Yuan Xuan's work, she had heard about it.
A while ago, he had dealt with a few of the younger members of the aristocratic families who had harmed the public's interests. Some of them were thrown into prison and some were expelled from Luo Hai, causing an uproar in the city.
The elders of the aristocratic families who went to plead for leniency suffered at Yuan Xuan's hands. Two of them were so angry that they were hospitalized. Luo Hai was shaken and the patriarchs of the aristocratic families did not dare to voice their anger toward Yuan Xuan.
While he was on vacation at Liu Li Villa, they joined forces to 'seek justice' and attempted to use the pressure from the other shareholders of Zhong Heng International to force Yuan Xuan to submit.
The next day, the stocks of the few leading aristocratic families' groups fell to the limit. No one dared to act rashly anymore.
Coupled with the trivial matters of life and the bloody scene in prison, Mu Chenyan did not doubt Yuan Xuan's ruthlessness at all.
Moreover, what Mu Feng had written back then was a shocking secret regarding Yuan Tangbai!
Yuan Xuan had always regarded his father as a role model and respected everything about him. Under these circumstances, it was easy to imagine how much Yuan Xuan wanted to get rid of Mu Feng to protect his father when he found out about Yuan Tangbai's stain.
"Brother, you're saying that Yuan Xuan wanted to kill the Mu Family to cover up this matter even though it was Yuan Tangbai's problem?"
Mu Chenyan looked at Mu Chenwu blankly. Her breathing was uneven. This fact was far more complicated than she had imagined.
She had never thought that not only was there a family feud between her and Yuan Xuan, there was also a national feud!
"Silly girl, don't you believe me? Did you see what Yuan Xuan did during the Mu Family's downfall? "
Mu Chenwu could not hold it in anymore. He trembled as he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one up. The smoke lingered in the air and he slowly calmed down after inhaling for a while before he continued.
"Yuan Xuan suppressed the Mu Family and framed my father for selling guns. He blamed part of Yuan Tangbai's crimes on my father. You were locked up in prison for two years. He didn't allow the Mu Family to bail you out and even put my mother under house arrest. Can't you see how ruthless he is?
"You think he married you to be kind to you? He's using you to make Father lower his guard! Poor father, he really believed him! "
Mu Chenyan weakly leaned against the tombstone, and her gaze became empty. She did not dare to follow her brother's words and continue her train of thought.
If Yuan Xuan had hated the Mu family from the beginning, then did he love her or hate her?
Why did he come back from England to propose to the Mu family?
Was it really as her brother had said, that marrying her was also one of the methods to attack the Mu family?
If he had been used from the beginning, was he also an accomplice in the death of his father and the decline of the Mu family?
Seeing that Mu Chenyan was silent, Mu Chenwu continued, "After we've dealt with the Mu Family, you'll no longer be of any use to him, so he threw you in prison. Now that he's bringing you back, he knows that I'll come looking for you. I'm afraid that he'll use you to get rid of everyone in our family in one fell swoop!"
A chilly wind blew in the graveyard, and the fallen leaves that were blown up made a hissing sound on the ground!
Mu Chenyan's entire body trembled. She looked up at her father's tombstone in a daze, and then looked at Mu Chenwu before she murmured,
"Brother, Yuan Xuan … Is he really that ruthless? I don't believe that he's like what you said … "
It seemed like she was comforting herself, but it also seemed like she was deceiving someone else. Mu Chenyan's heart was filled with mixed feelings!
The person whom she had loved for more than ten years had suddenly fallen from grace and turned into a demon …
Ever since she came back, although her relationship with Yuan Xuan was not like that of a normal married couple, his attitude toward her had always been affectionate.
Even though there had been a few small disturbances, Mu Chenyan could still feel that Yuan Xuan actually cared about her very much.
Loving someone was like a habit. She had walked too far between the intersection of love and hate, and that was why she was so lost today.
Compared to being trapped in a fog, knowing the truth would be so heart-wrenching!
If she had indirectly harmed her father, how would she live the rest of her life?
Mu Chenwu's cold gaze was filled with murderous intent. He snorted and said in a low voice, "Yan 'er, if Yuan Tangzhong hadn't wanted to use father back then, I'm afraid that the Mu Family would've fallen earlier!
"If Yuan Xuan had revealed his true colors earlier, you would've recognized him earlier, and you wouldn't have been so obsessed for so many years!"
Mu Chenwu had underestimated the relationship between his sister and Yuan Xuan. This girl had always been stubborn, and it was not easy for her to believe in Yuan Xuan's true colors.
She was extremely confused, and her emotions and rationality were fighting fiercely. "Brother, Yuan Xuan … When did he really start to deal with the Mu Family?"
"Since you returned to the country!"
Mu Chenwu thought about it and said, "Previously, Yuan Xuan's wings weren't fully developed, and he didn't have the ability to touch the Mu Family under his uncle's nose. Now that he's back, the first thing he'll naturally do is to do this.
"When he proposed to the Mu Family, he bewitched his second uncle and father. He gathered some information to deal with the Mu Family and secretly suppressed the Mu Family's close supporters, causing father to suffer setbacks everywhere in the business world …
"Yuan Tangzhong didn't have good intentions at first. He was close to father because he wanted to stabilize him, and he also wanted to use father to do things that he couldn't do on his own. It's fine if you don't know about it. This made Yuan Xuan very unhappy.
"Later on, the Mu Family was about to collapse, and Yuan Xuan's methods also made Yuan Tangzhong afraid. He didn't dare to confront Yuan Xuan directly, so he took this opportunity to agree to eliminate father and protect the Yuan Family's reputation. In short, it was a win-win situation for the Yuan Family!"
Mu Chenwu sneered. His hatred for Yuan Xuan could no longer be described with words.
"He can't wait for the Mu Family to disappear from the face of the earth!"
"Brother, if that's really the case, then why did Yuan Xuan save me from prison? Wouldn't it be better if he left me to fend for myself? "
Mu Chenyan did not want to defend him, but the current situation was more complicated than she thought. This woman had experienced too much, and she was no longer as naive as she used to be.
She was not the one who experienced the events of the past. Even if the words came from her brother's mouth, she still had to think twice.
This was the last straw of hope in her heart.
It was also the last hope she had for Yuan Xuan.
"If that's the case, you're still fantasizing about Yuan Xuan? Why don't you think about it? Back then, he and Shu Qinger were fine, and they were even pregnant. Why would he suddenly want to marry you? "
Mu Chenwu used his trump card.
