Chapter 312 The Murong Family’s Affair

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Sister, our father did wrong to our mother at the beginning, but our father is also a man. Men may play outside their family. Our mother has been dead for more than a decade. Only three years ago, our father married that woman. No matter how you view it, he is not unfair to our mother, right?”

Murong Yixiao spoke seriously.

“Play? If he had only played, why is the child that woman gave birth to only one year younger than you? What does this mean? It means when our mother was pregnant with you, he was fooling around outside with that woman. Do you think this is right?”

Murong Yanran’s face turned icy. Full of resentment and satire, she spoke.

“When our mother was pregnant, she couldn’t do ‘that’ with our father. How many men can bear that?”

Murong Yixiao spoke a little awkwardly.

“Fine, fine, if you think what he did is right, I don’t care. Anyway, I cannot forgive him, don’t mention him anymore. What do you want to eat? Let me cook for you.”

Murong Yanran felt a little uneasy. Although he was her blood brother, she still felt embarrassed when they talked about the thing between men and women.

“Sister, I know what you think, but have you thought that even if you don’t approve of him, he is your father. Don’t go to extremes. What do you want him to do to make you agree to go home?”

Murong Yixiao was a little irritated and roared at Murong Yanran’s back.

Murong Yanran paused and said lightly, “I won’t if that woman is at home.”

“Okay, now let me call our father and ask him to drive away that woman.”

Murong Yixiao took out his phone and roared.

“Fine, you call him. If he is willing to drive away that woman, I can go home anytime.”

Murong Yanran turned around, her expression exceptionally calm, but her tone was indisputably firm.

Murong Yixiao put down his phone and muttered, “Sister, you do want our father to beat me to death.”

“I know you are timid, coward!” Murong Yanran gave a cold smile and walked with her hips shaking to the kitchen.

Murong Yixiao was frustrated. This time he came with his father’s mission: persuading his sister to go home. But now it seemed impossible.

He didn’t want to give up but didn’t know why his sister and that gentle and virtuous stepmother couldn’t get along and would dispute when they met.

He walked to the kitchen’s door sluggishly, saw his sister wearing an apron, like a good wife and mother, and said lightly, “Sister, can you tell me why you dislike Aunt Cai so much?”

“It’s not that I like or dislike, but that I have never treated her as a human.”

Murong Yanran spoke lightly, but Murong Yixiao felt helpless.

“Sister, I think Aunt Cai also treated you well. Why did you run away from home at the beginning? Did she offend you?”

“Well? Hehe, she is but a b*tch skilled at camouflaging. She looks gentle and virtuous before you guys, but she is a scheming b*tch. Do you know why I left our family? Because she asked the servant to throw away all the things of our mother, but I saw it.”

Murong Yanran’s eye sockets turned red. “But I never thought that only after I reasoned with her for a short while, that man came. He didn’t ask about the reason and accused me of being naughty straight, but that b*tch smiled proudly on the side and also pretended to say I was young and naive and she wouldn’t take what I did seriously. She also said that she was only sorting out our mother’s belongings, but I misunderstood her, and she also pretended to be generous. I was so angry that I shouted she was a hypocritical b*tch, but that man slapped me. Judge, why should I still need to live under that roof?”

Murong Yixiao was astonished and opened his eyes wide. “She seems not like that, Aunt… that woman usually looks virtuous.”

“Believe or not. Anyway, I’ve seen it through that the Murong Family has been hoodwinked by that woman’s acting skills, and no one will believe me. In the beginning, I had accepted the fact that she was our stepmother, but after I overheard her private conversation with her son, I saw her through.”

A trace of coldness flashed in Murong Yanran’s eyes. “She suspected I might have heard what she said. Since then, she had been targeting me, but pretending I couldn’t tolerate her and her son, letting others believe I bullied them.”

“Sister, I believe you, but what on earth did she speak with Murong Xiongfeng?”

Murong Yixiao looked serious, but he never thought his sister hid so many secrets. Ironically, he had been thinking her sister made trouble without reason and couldn’t tolerate the woman and her son.

“She said both males and females could inherit the Murong Family’s properties according to their age. If they could work out ways to weed off you and me, Murong Xiongfeng would become the only heir. She asked Murong Xiongfeng not to hang around outside all the time, but to study hard, and he would be the family owner in the future.”

Murong Yanran smiled coldly. “Is the woman not ambitious? Is she not vicious?”

Murong Yixiao changed his expression. “Why didn’t you tell our father?”

“What was the use of it? He had been seduced too much by that woman and lost his sense, and could not accept what I said. If I dared to speak anything bad about that woman, he would be furious and accused me of being naughty and mean, intolerance of the woman and her son. Judge, if I had told him, would he have believed me?”

Murong Yanran smiled sadly. “That woman is so shrewd and is good at acting. If I had stayed at home, it was possible I would be murdered by her. So, I chose to leave. As long as I’m alive, that woman won’t touch you. By the time you become the owner of the family, she will not dare to do anything harmful anymore.”

“Sister, why not tell me?”

Red-eyed, Murong Yixiao sobbed and spoke.

“You haven’t been able to hide secrets since you were young, showing anything unhappy on your face. I was afraid she would find it out, quicken her plot, and design a trap to end you up with the same fate as mine. Once you lost that man’s trust, that woman could murder you with a casual trap. You know that man’s character. Losing his trust means he won’t investigate. So, I didn’t tell you.”

Murong Yanran’s eyes were full of sadness. “Now, I think you are a grown man, have your own ideas, can also hide secrets, and don’t need my protection anymore. So, I can tell you the truth and ask you to guard against her, in case she works to murder you.”

“Sister, sorry, it’s all my fault. Although I haven’t said it, I’ve been thinking you were mean and could not tolerate her and her son, so I kept a distance from you deliberately, and even, even thought you were annoying, unwilling to answer your phone. Sorry, sorry, I’ve been wrong, waaa…”

Murong Yixiao held Murong Yanran and wailed.

“All right, all right, you’ve grown up, don’t shed ‘a cat’s urine’. You, when will you grow up? That woman is so cunning. She ruined my relationship with that man and also secretly ruined our sister-brother relationship. You kept a distance from me, but did you think I didn’t know it was that woman who made us so? I knew everything, but I couldn’t tell because neither of you believed me.”

Murong Yanran patted Murong Yixiao’s shoulder and said bitterly, “Alas! Thinking of it now, I still feel sad. Our family was played by that woman. After leaving home, I felt relaxed. I didn’t have so many annoying matters or have to face that hypocritical face which made me sick.”

“Sister, go home and let’s work together to disclose that woman’s true nature. I don’t believe we can’t defeat that vicious woman.”

Murong Yixiao wiped away his tears and spoke, his eyes shining with ferocity.

“No use, that woman is so smart and will not expose her flaws. In fact, leaving home for two years, I also wanted that woman to relax her vigilance, and then I could find out what she did and disclose her true nature. Unfortunately, the people I sent to keep an eye on her haven’t found anything useful. She is so cunning. Apart from her son Murong Xiongfeng, she doesn’t believe anyone.”

Murong Yanran knitted her worried brows and, shaking her head helplessly, spoke.

“Humph, however cunning a fox is, it can’t hide its tail. Since this can’t work, let me…”

As a sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes, Murong Yixiao made a gesture of cutting his throat.

“No, never, that man trusts her so much and pampers her. If she dies, he will investigate. You know the great power of our Murong Family. Once you are found, that man won’t let you off by then.”

Murong Yanran caught his wrists hurriedly, shook her head madly, and spoke.

“Not this, not that, but can we wait for death and see her trap us? Think about her now, I realize that woman has begun taking over our family’s business and built relations with many people. If we can’t work out plans, the Murong Family will be controlled by her.”

A little annoyed, Murong Yixiao scratched his head.

“Wants to control the Murong Family? That’s not so easy.”

But Murong Yanran was calm. “As long as you and I are alive, it won’t be her and her son’s turn to control. After all, in the Murong Family, the family owner has no final word on his successor, and that woman cannot have access to the family’s Panel of Seniors with her status.”

“She cannot, but we cannot, either. Who knows if they will become silly and choose Murong Xiongfeng?”

Murong Yixiao didn’t care who would succeed, but he would never be willing to let the mother and her son with evil wishes get the properties of the Murong Family.

“If we can prove we are able, the family’s seniors would make their decision. After all, these old men prefer the one who can make more money for the Murong Family.”

Murong Yanran could see problems through. When she ran away from home at the beginning, she had turned it over in her mind. She wanted to build her own business empire. Naturally, the Murong Family would notice her ability and give her the inheritance.

Even if the plan failed, and those seniors were fatuous and incompetent and gave Murong Family to Murong Xiongfeng, Murong Yanran already had her career and didn’t have to rely on Murong Family to make a living.

Murong Yixiao understood suddenly, but thought of another question instantly. “Sister, although you’ve become the manager of Ninghai Filiale of Tianfu Company, you still work for others, aren’t you?”

“Don’t worry, my position as the general manager is only temporary. In a while, after I earn enough money, I will resign and open my company, as long as…”

Murong Yanran pressed her lips tight, thinking of Ding Ning. As long as Ding Ning kept his promise, willing to be her jade carving master, her company would prosper.

“As long as what?”

Murong Yixiao asked nervously.

“As long as Ding Ning and I cooperate to open a jewelry company, which means I will have the works of the Master of the Divine Burin. Then, will my company’s prosperity still be a dream?”

Murong Yanran felt a little anxious, thinking about giving Ding Ning some shares. Then, perhaps he would be bonded to her company.

“Sister, is my brother-in-law the Master of the Divine Burin, isn’t he?”

With his eyes glistening, Murong Yixiao asked excitedly.

“No, not, he is a friend of the Master of the Divine Burin.”

Even before her blood brother, Murong Yanran also lied to cover Ding Ning up subconsciously. So, she neglected her brother called him brother-in-law.
