Chapter 1478 Brother's Girlfriend 10

Shen Xin’s expression wavered slightly; she glanced, almost imperceptibly, in Mu Qinghan’s direction.

Mu Haiyun’s gaze followed and shifted over there as well.

“Grandpa, what exactly happened to Grandma?”

Mu Qinghan’s eyes were dark as he looked at his eldest granddaughter, and he spoke slowly: “Because of the inheritance issue!”

Mu Haiyun: “…”

Just as she’d guessed, it really was because of this.

She’d said all along, Grandma’s health had always been very good; how could she suddenly fall ill?

Heh!

They must have taken advantage of her business trip for Mu Haiyang and Mu Tiantian to join forces and start pressing her.

“Grandpa, I’ve already agreed to marry Xu Tai; it’s obviously inappropriate for me to inherit the company again.”

As soon as Mu Haiyun said this, everyone present, except for Bai Chenyao, showed a faint trace of surprise.

Seeing that no one was speaking, only looking at her, the grief-stricken Mu Haiyun—her mood low because of Grandma’s collapse and her eyes red from crying—spoke in a very soft voice.

“Grandpa, it’s all my fault. I should have explained earlier. I just thought that my decision to marry Xu Tai would make Grandma understand that I’d already decided to give up my inheritance rights. I never thought… it’s all my fault, I didn’t make it clear to Grandma!”

Watching the regretful, sorrowful look on Mu Haiyun’s face, and those tears spilling down like a broken string of pearls, Mu Tiantian couldn’t help but secretly applaud Mu Haiyun’s acting in her heart.

Sure enough, after suffering a loss you grow wiser; after what happened last time, Mu Haiyun’s acting skills and scheming had made a qualitative leap.

She had even thrown aside the image she’d always valued so much.

Only this way would people truly believe that, in her heart, any so‑called inheritance rights were nothing compared to Grandma’s health.

A dutiful child like this would naturally move the hearts of the elders.

“Haiyun, this has nothing to do with you!”

Hearing Grandpa say this, Mu Tiantian didn’t find it strange at all.

Besides, Grandpa was telling the truth; it really had no direct connection to Mu Haiyun.

It was just that she deliberately said nothing, while the short‑tempered Old Madam Mu charged to the front on her behalf.

Mu Haiyun and Shen Xin were cut from the same cloth.

If she’d truly decided to give up her inheritance rights, shouldn’t she have made that clear long ago?

What’s more, with Mu Haiyun’s arrogant nature, taking the initiative to give it up…

If she could willingly give it up, would she have chosen Xu Tai?

At least, based on Mu Tiantian’s understanding of Mu Haiyun, she felt that Mu Haiyun’s motives in marrying Xu Tai were far from pure; as for what she wanted to use Xu Tai for, she couldn’t guess.

She only thought of how the Xu family and the Shen Family were hostile, and Mu Tiantian felt that Mu Haiyun’s days were not necessarily as happy as she appeared.

Take herself, for example—back when she and Bai Chenyao first met the way they did, the hatred at the beginning, and how long it lasted, no one understood better than she did.

Mu Haiyun liked Bai Chenyao, yet she ended up sleeping with Xu Tai, who looked like Bai Chenyao, and it was entirely possible Xu Tai had done it on purpose—would Mu Haiyun be willing to accept that?

At the very least, the time had been far too short; it simply wasn’t realistic.

Seeing Mu Haiyun putting on a show over there, Mu Tiantian couldn’t be bothered to watch anymore. And with so many people here right now, with Mu Haiyang’s gaze fixed sharply on Shen Xin and her daughter, she wasn’t worried they’d be foolish enough to make a move at this moment.

Mu Tiantian pressed her lips together and slowly walked out of the ward.

Once she reached the corridor, Mu Tiantian let out a long breath.

“Let’s go get something to eat.”

Bai Chenyao’s voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Mu Tiantian was stunned for a moment and quickly looked up, only to see Bai Chenyao standing by her side, without her knowing when he’d appeared.

“Come on.”

Before Mu Tiantian could respond, Bai Chenyao suddenly reached out, took her small hand, and directly led her toward the stairs.

Mu Tiantian: “…”
