Chapter 1267 - The Regretful Mu Ling

Chapter 1267: The Regretful Mu Ling I

Apart from his wife and son, he was disowned by everyone and abandoned by his relatives!
This was the price he had to pay for his own stupidity!
Chen Qingyan’s words were like thunder ringing, blasting into Mu Ling’s ears.
His whole body trembled badly as his eyes were full of fury.
Chen Qingyan’s neck was trapped in Mu Ling’s hand. Blood was flowing from the corner of her lips, but her gaze was unyielding and without fear.
Such a gaze was one that she had never had before. It also made Mu Ling even more furious!
“You want to fuel my anger so as to accompany your useless son sooner. Ridiculous! To let you die so easily, would that not be to your advantage? I, Mu Ling, will not make such a silly error. I will definitely let you pay a hundred times of the price for your wrongdoings, and even a thousand times!
Mu Ling’s eyes were bloodshot as they held resentment.
Even if he bled dry Chen Qingyan and skinned her, it would be difficult to rid the anger burning in his heart!
Chen Qingyan’s body went stiff. Now, all she wanted was to die. Could it be that even this was noticed by Mu Ling?
When had he… become so smart?
Seeing Mu Ling’s bloodshot eyes, Chen Qingyan shut her mouth, not saying a word more.
Her eyes were filled with sarcasm, like a thorn ruthless piercing into Mu Ling’s heart.
It was as if she was reminding him how he had stupidly treated the enemy who murdered his mother as his lover, loving her and pampering her for so many years…
“Despicable person! You despicable person who deserves death, I will cut you to death and flog your corpse!”
Mu Ling violently threw Chen Qingyan on the ground as he said angrily, “I will also cut up Mu Xi’s body, allowing all of you to meet again in the most mutilated forms!”
Chen Qingyan had indeed done countless evil misdeeds in her life.
However, to her, Mu Xi was her inverse scale1.
Therefore, after she had heard Mu Ling’s words, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes as she went pale. “Mu Xi is your son. No matter what you do to me, I will not mind it. However, you cannot let him die without peace!”
At this moment, even her body was trembling hard, as her eyes were full of trepidation.
Perhaps Chen Qingyan would never understand how Mu Ling could be so cruel to such an extent that he would not even let off his own son’s corpse.
Mu Ling had also finally found Chen Qingyan’s point of pain. The corner of his lips curled up into a cruel arc as he immediately pushed Chen Qingyan away, walking directly to the deep pit.
“No!”
Chen Qingyan hurriedly pounced over and hugged Mu Ling’s thigh. “He is your son. The son whom you have loved for so many years. Your biological son! The person who did wrong was me. Mu Xi is innocent!”
***
From far away, Mu Huan saw how Chen Qingyan was protecting Mu Xi. She only felt chills throughout her body. She could not help but squat down and use her hands to hug her knees, burying her head between her knees.
No matter what, her mother had always only thought of Mu Xi alone.
And she, her daughter… was left forgotten…
Thinking back about all the things that had happened over the years, the corner of Mu Huan’s lips curled up into a sarcastic arc. She raised her pale, small face and looked at Chen Qingyan with cold eyes.
Perhaps, since Chen Qingyan had confessed that her grandmother died due to her plots, their mother-daughter relationship had also ended…
Since mother had never even cared about her and only cared about Mu Xi alone, then why did she have to bother being so stubborn?
Compared to the desolation in Mu Huan’s heart, the others only looked at Mu Ling coldly.
