Just when Li Jue was having a terrible headache, the butler came to report that Mu Rong had come.
Li Jue liked Mu Linlang and was engaged to her. Naturally, he would stand on Mu Yuan's side. Therefore, towards Mu Rong, the person who snatched the head of the Mu family from Mu Yuan, other than the necessary business contact, Li Jue did not have any private contact with Mu Rong.
At this moment, Mu Rong came over to look for Jiujiu. Li Jue had no second thoughts.
Li Jue went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water until his complexion in the mirror looked better. Then, he walked to the hall.
Mu Rong sat in the hall and looked around like a master. The moment his eyes met with Li Jue's, Mu Rong's lips curled up, revealing a gentle smile like the moonlight.
However, both Mu Rong and Li Jue knew that Mu Rong was not as gentle and harmless as he looked on the surface.
When Li Jue sat down, Mu Rong said directly, "I want to take Jiujiu away."
Li Jue refused without thinking. "I refuse."
Not to mention that he still wanted to give Jiujiu's heart to Mu Linlang, even if he didn't, he was unwilling to give Jiujiu to Mu Rong. When he thought of Jiujiu sitting opposite Mu Rong and the two of them chatting and laughing, Li Jue felt incomparably uncomfortable.
Li Jue's refusal was within Mu Rong's expectations. However, Mu Rong did not feel unhappy because of Li Jue's refusal. Instead, he continued, "I will help your baby find a suitable heart. So, can you give Jiujiu to me?"
When Mu Rong said the word heart, Li Jue suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Mu Rong. After seeing the smile on Mu Rong's face, Li Jue frowned and denied directly. "I don't understand what you're saying."
"You don't understand?" Mu Rong did not expect that Li Jue would still pretend to be confused even though he had already made it so clear. He raised his eyebrows unhappily and said directly, "You killed Jiujiu's parents, and you sent Jiujiu's brother to the laboratory. You're telling me that you don't understand?"
Li Jue didn't expect Murong to be able to find out such a secret. His heart instantly sank and he said with an ugly expression, "What do you want to do?"
Seeing that Li Jue had already begun to face this problem, Murong said slowly, "Didn't I just say that I only want to take Jiujiu away?"
"She's just a little girl. You're not suitable for her." Li Jue pursed his lips and said with a look of concern for Jiujiu, "Your hands are stained with the blood of so many people. You'll scare her."
"If I'm not suitable, then you are suitable?" Murong raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "My hands are stained with the blood of many people, but that's all other people's blood. Unlike you, your hands are stained with the blood of all her family members. Between you and me, who do you think she will choose?"
Li Jue had done countless things in his life and had also used underhanded means to force his opponents to give up their businesses, but this was the first time he felt guilty.
Yes, guilty conscience.
He was afraid that Jiujiu would know that he was the one who killed her parents and brother. If Jiujiu knew …
When he thought of the hatred and disgust that would flash in Jiujiu's clear and transparent eyes, Li Jue instantly panicked.
Murong understood very well what it meant to take advantage of a person's weakness and said directly, "I'll give you two days. Either you give me Jiujiu, or I'll send your father-in-law's head to you."
It was obviously a very cruel thing, but Murong said it in a casual tone, as if chopping off Mu Yuan's head was a very normal thing.
Of course, in Murong's heart, chopping off Mu Yuan's head was a very normal thing. After all, if it wasn't for Mu Yuan, his parents wouldn't have died and his legs wouldn't have been broken. He didn't kill him when he snatched back the Mu family and let him live for another year before chopping off his head was already very merciful.
After Murong snatched back the Mu family, his temperament became especially eccentric and he did a lot of things like murder and arson.
Even though Murong said it casually, Li Jue didn't dare to relax at all because he knew that Murong was serious. He really wanted to chop off Mu Yuan's head.
Mu Yuan was Mu Linlang's father. Between Jiujiu and Mu Yuan, the balance in Li Jue's heart was once again biased towards Mu Yuan.
However, even though he already knew his answer in his heart, Li Jue was unwilling to give up and made a final struggle. "You're threatening me."
"Yes, I'm threatening you." Murong looked at Li Jue and the corners of his mouth curled up with determination. He said with a chuckle, "So, who will you choose?"
In the end, Li Jue still chose Mu Yuan. After all, he could find another heart, but Jiujiu only had one father. If Mu Yuan died, he and Mu Linlang would be completely finished. Moreover, there were some things in his heart that he didn't dare to think about carefully because he didn't seem to want Jiujiu to die.
After Li Jue chose Mu Yuan, Murong directly went upstairs and prepared to take Jiujiu away.
Murong was a very possessive person. Previously, he didn't want to snatch Jiujiu away. Now that he wanted to snatch Jiujiu away and Li Jue had agreed, he naturally wanted to bring Jiujiu back immediately.
Murong directly asked Li Xiang to push him to Jiujiu's door and knocked on the door.
Jiujiu, who was called out by the butler just now, heard the knock on the door again. She was stunned for a moment before opening the door, but she didn't expect to see Murong.
She didn't expect to see Murong in Li Jue's house. Jiujiu was stunned for a moment before she asked doubtfully, "Murong, why are you here?"
As for Murong, after seeing Jiujiu wearing a pink rabbit costume, he was instantly dazed by her cuteness. When he heard Jiujiu's question, he coughed lightly to cover up his awkwardness and said, "Jiujiu, can you live with me in the future?"
In fact, Jiujiu really wanted to say yes directly, but after seeing Li Jue appear behind Murong, Jiujiu still gave Li Jue face and said, "Then what about Mr. Li?"
Seeing Jiujiu looking behind him, Murong turned his head slightly and looked at Li Jue, who was standing behind with a complicated expression. He pursed his lips slightly and said with a chuckle, "Li Jue is about to get married. Naturally, he has to live with his wife. It will be inconvenient for you to continue living here."
Murong's reason didn't sound wrong at all.
Jiujiu glanced at Li Jue, lowered her head and thought for a moment. With a look of consideration for Li Jue, she looked at Li Jue and said, "Alright then, Mr. Li, I will leave with Mr. Mu first."
Li Jue's lips moved. He wanted to ask Jiujiu to stay, but the moment he opened his mouth, he saw Murong's lips move. Looking at the shape of his lips, Murong clearly said the two words' Mu Yuan '.
Thinking of Mu Yuan, Li Jue swallowed the words he wanted to say back into his stomach.
Li Jue could only watch as Jiujiu left behind Murong.
Murong's family was richer than Murong's family, so when Jiujiu and Murong left, they didn't bring anything except for the pink pajamas they were wearing.
