Chapter 420: What I Lack Isn’t Money, It’s a Woman

“Ha!” Mu Donglin looked at her while his body swayed slightly. He then released his grip on the edge of the table and walked towards her. He pointed at himself and laughed, spitting out words with much difficulty. “Not related at all... to me? Then... what about him?”

He pointed straight at Mu Xichen. “What’s your relationship with him?”

Mu Donglin’s voice choked up slightly. “You were planning our wedding with me... planning our future on one hand... but plotting against me and forcing me to get a divorce with you on the other... Now what? Is it Mu Dongchen’s turn to be played and toyed around by you?”

Walking towards Li Beinian shakily, he sneered. “It’s funny how much I believed you when you told me that you would get married to me when you were so jealous of Kerou... You acted as if it was all so real and sincere. Impressive, truly impressive...”

Li Beinian stood firmly in her spot. Her gaze never moved away from him as he approached.

Her gaze still remained as cold as before.

“Hey.” Jiang Yeqing immediately stepped in front of her with a smile, blocking off Mu Donglin’s advances. “Aren’t you going to continue with the challenge? You’re drunk, Young Master Mu. Why don’t you go back and stop scaring this poor girl?”

He firmly gripped Mu Donglin’s shoulders and pushed him backward. Jiang Yeqing waved to Chen Ye. “Your company is going to make real big losses if your President loses this challenge. Are you still not gonna hold him back?”

Before Chen Ye was able to make a move, Lin Ya broke the silence. “Donglin, don’t forget why you’re here today.”

His voice was so calm that it immediately stopped Mu Donglin in his tracks.

Li Beinian subconsciously looked towards Lin Ya, realizing that he was still sitting in the same spot, with a glass of fruit juice beside him.

His legs were crossed at this moment, and he was looking straight ahead.

Lin Ya smiled lightly as he felt Li Beinian’s gaze upon him. “Well, I didn’t know you were so charismatic, Ms. Li. So much that it’s enough to make both Young Masters of the Mu Family go crazy over you like that. I’m pretty impressed.”

Mockery and sarcasm were blatantly hidden under his seemingly polite words.

Li Beinian looked at him expressionlessly but glanced towards the waiter the next second. “May I know where the restroom is?”

“Please follow me this way.”

As she entered the restroom, Lin Ya’s words kept ringing in her head. “Donglin, don’t forget why you’re here today.”

Did they especially come down here today just to find Mu Xichen?

If they were really only here with the pure purpose of settling the whole issue regarding the branch office with Mu Xichen, then what had it got to do with Lin Ya in the first place?

Was it really just good friends accompanying each other?

Li Beinian’s instincts told her that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Lin Ya, Lin Ya.

The name sounded hauntingly familiar.

However, she didn’t seem to have a single impression of him in her mind.

Just as she stepped out of the toilet, the chaotic sounds of a scuffle reached her ears.

Startled, she immediately ran over.

Mu Donglin and Mu Xichen were caught in a knitted brawl, with everyone else trying their best to pull them apart.

The both of them looked awfully drunk, but the hand grabbing onto Mu Xichen was nothing close to a weak grip.

“You need to... to accept your defeat.” Mu Xichen’s voice was losing clarity as his whole body was pressed on top of Mu Donglin, who was also close to unconsciousness. “You lost. So, if you ever see Li Beinian again, you walk away from her. You see her... you walk away, did you hear that? You’re not allowed... not allowed to bother her ever again!”

Mu Donglin struggled to force his eyes open and smirked with not one inch of strength left in his body. “I’m rich... I can give you money. You leave her... and break up with her. How about that? You broke loser...”

Mu Xichen laughed as his gaze turned cold. He lifted his fist up and swung it directly across Mu Donglin’s face.

A loud and collective gasp filled the space. Jiang Yeqing hurriedly grabbed onto Mu Xichen’s fist and reprimanded him. “Mu Xichen, that’s enough!”

Mu Xichen’s collapsed onto Jiang Yeqing for support as he looked straight at Mu Donglin. He smirked coldly, his drunken voice seeming the clearest it had ever been. “What I lack is not money, it’s a woman.”

He paused and warned him again with a low voice laced with a hidden smile. “That woman is mine. Dream. On.”

Mu Donglin did a double-take. These words, they sounded so familiar.

These were the exact same words that he had said to Mu Xichen just not long ago.

Claiming his ownership and marking his territory as the winner.

At that time, she was his fianceé.

It had only been a few months, but everything was different now.

Mu Donglin’s mind fell into a whirlwind of chaos, as the noise of his surroundings slowly unraveled in his ears as if from a distance away. He jumped back to reality.

As he tilted his head to look towards Mu Xichen, the surroundings were a complete blur in his eyes. He squinted with all his might, finally seeing that figure that appeared countless times in his dreams recently, that lovely figure that he both hated and loved at the same time.

Li Beinian was standing behind Jiang Yeqing, a mixture of shock and surprise written all over her face.

As she looked on at Mu Xichen being supported, her eyes brimmed with moisture.

She stood there as if she was frozen on the spot. After what seemed like an eternity, she finally stepped forward.

Mu Donglin clearly watched her make her way towards Mu Xichen.

She held him, her face lowered on purpose, but he could tell that she cared for him very much.

All this time, she didn’t even spare him a single glance.

As he laid on the floor, he forced himself to tear his gaze away from her and stared blankly at the lights above him.

The lights were blinding him, and he felt as if they burned a hole in his eyes as his vision started to blur.

How did things end up this way...

She should have been his...

“Brother?” A soft and gentle voice entered the space along with the sound of heels clicking on the floor. The same voice broke into a gasp. “Brother Donglin?”

Lin Ya’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw Lin Kerou. “What are you doing here?”

Lin Kerou was already squatting beside Mu Donglin, checking on him. She heard Lin Ya’s words and subconsciously raised her head. “Li Beinian called me over. She said Brother Donglin was drunk...”

A laugh escaped Mu Donglin’s lips as he heard her words and a teardrop running down the side of his face. He whispered to himself in realization, “She’s so cruel...”

He said it so softly, Li Beinian could hardly hear his words.

She turned over mindlessly, her gaze meeting that pair of bloodshot eyes that were glistening with tears and filled with a sense of brokenness. Mu Donglin was slowly held up by Chen Ye and Lin Kerou.

She had never seen him like this before in the five years of knowing him and their three years of marriage.

Li Beinian’s heart suddenly ached with a rush of mixed emotions overwhelming her.

The next moment, someone grabbed her arm tightly.

Mu Xichen pulled her towards himself so much strength it was almost domineering.

He propped himself up while pressing upon her shoulders, his whole body reeking of alcohol. He leaned his face right next to hers, his hot breath landing on her cheeks. Speaking with a hoarse voice filled with drunkness, he said, “Let’s go home.”

Li Beinian’s body stumbled along with him as he struggled to find his balance. She unconsciously hugged him tightly and spoke softly, “Are you able to walk? Jiang Yeqing, Gu Mingye, come and help!”

“I don’t want their help.” Mu Xichen shoved Jiang Yeqing aside as his lips grazed the side of her eyes slightly and repeated without raising his voice, “Let’s go home, go home...”
