Sir, How About A Marriage? Chapter 561 - Showdown

Chapter 561 Showdown

Mu Chen smiled. “You’re asking if I have a heart? Do you have it? If you have it, then I don’t have it either. After all, I’m your son. Isn’t this what you want to hear? I’ve never denied that you’re my father, but it doesn’t mean I have to accept the disgusting things you’ve forced on me.”
Mu Chen’s smile deepened when he saw the livid expression on Mu Qing’s face. He said, “It’s true that I found the lawyer for Ms. Liang. However, there’s something that you’ve gotten wrong. It seems like you think I’m trying to force you to get a divorce…”
“You should know in your heart that no matter what I do, it’d be impossible for me to force her to divorce you if that’s not what she wants. There are always people in this world who value feelings and loyalty above everything else like her and my mother. They’d rather die than give in. Isn’t this what you like? I can only say that you reap what you sow.”
Mu Qing sneered. “I don’t understand what you’re saying. You’re talking nonsense. Although the Mu family is in your hands now, sooner or later, you’ll lose everything.”
Mu Chen smiled. “You don’t have to worry about that. That’s the Mu family’s business.”
Mu Qing said disdainfully, “Don’t be too smug. Your happiness can come crashing down at any time.”
Mu Chen’s expression turned solemn as he looked at Mu Qing and said, “You’re hoping that the spies you planted in the Mu Group will help you turn the tide, right? I’m sorry, but they’ve disappointed you. Cheng Che and I have already begun to remove those people when Ye Xin met you for the second time. We’ve changed many of our employees, and we made sure you didn’t receive news of it. Give up. There’s no way you can make a comeback. Your twenty-odd-year plan has failed.”
As Mu Chen spoke, he handed Mu Qing a piece of A4 paper. It was filled with names, positions and jobs, contact details, and home addresses.
Mu Qing’s expression changed immediately, and his hands trembled slightly upon seeing this. This was his blood, sweat, and tears; his kingdom, and his chance to make a comeback!
Mu Chen added casually, “Oh, we’ve found evidence of some people breaking the law here and have handed them over to the Public Security Bureau.”
“You!” Mu Qing glared at his son.
Mu Chen smiled faintly as he said, “There’s also this…”
Mu Chen handed Liang Zhou’s medical report to Mu Qing.
Mu Qing’s eyes widened.
“She’s entrusted Song Ning with her funeral procedure. She said that after she dies, she doesn’t want to be buried in the Liang family’s ancestral grave or the Mu family’s ancestral grave. She wants her ashes to be scattered in a quiet river.”
“In the past, she yearned to enter the Mu family and to be acknowledged by the Mu family. All she wanted was my mother’s position. However, in the end, you caused her to feel so disheartened that she’d rather her ashes be scattered after her death. She’s anxious to divorce you because she wanted to leave with a clean slate. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with you,” Mu Chen said before he rose to his feet and left without looking back.
When the door closed, Mu Chen heard a howl from behind the closed door. He paused for a brief moment before he walked away expressionlessly.
Xiao Yu pushed Liang Zhou over in a wheelchair.
Although Liang Zhou looked frail, she did not look haggard since she wore light makeup. She looked at Mu Qing, who was sitting across from her, calmly as she asked, “The lawyer said you’d only sign the papers after seeing me?”
Mu Qing looked at Liang Zhou as mixed feelings surged in his heart. He could not speak for a moment. He wanted to ask her why she did not tell him about her illness but found that he could not ask her that. How long had it been since he last looked her in the eyes? He could no longer remember.
Over the past few days, he had tossed and turned at night. He found that the Liang Zhou in his mind had become blurrier and blurrier. He remembered more of their younger years. The younger they were, the more vivid his memories were. The lively Liang Zhou of the past gave rise to a hundred different kinds of feelings in his heart.
