Chapter 394: Chapter 395: How Am I Doing as a Stepmother?
Mu Shini was having breakfast, not expecting Mu Yanfu and Wen Chunlan to come.
Surprised, she looked at them and said, "If something happened to me, would you still be looking at me like this?"
Wen Chunlan’s face showed some embarrassment as she looked at Mu Yanfu.
Mu Yanfu quickly said, "Nian Nian, your Aunt Wen is concerned about you. When her friend called her, she told me about it."
"In the past when something happened to me, I never saw you so tense and anxious. Now that something has happened, you’ve left work to worry about my life and death? Are you afraid that if something happens to me, it will affect whether you get the 1 billion dollars or not?"
Mu Yanfu and Wen Chunlan looked at each other in disbelief, not expecting Mu Shini to say these words suddenly.
From their expressions, Mu Shini could tell that if they had known she was worth that much, they would have worshipped her like a god long ago.
The more this happened, the more she knew that, in their eyes, she was a dispensable person.
Playing the family card, Wen Chunlan walked to Mu Shini’s bedside, sat down softly, and said with a smile, "Nian Nian, Aunt Wen knows you don’t like me, but no matter what, you were raised by me and Xue Rou together. Ask yourself, how have I been as a stepmother?"
Mu Shini shifted her body slightly, looking at Wen Chunlan with a faint smile and said, "You are so sophisticated, how dare I find fault with you? Aunt Wen."
"Nian Nian, how can you talk to Aunt Wen like that?" Mu Yanfu felt uncomfortable hearing Mu Shini’s words, let alone how Wen Chunlan herself would feel. He was worried Wen Chunlan would be upset.
"Dad, what did I say to her? I only spoke the truth." Mu Shini’s eyes were a bit wet as she looked at Mu Yanfu, "Yes, I am grateful she didn’t treat me as cruelly as bad stepmothers in TV dramas. She has been very kind to me."
"Nian Nian, apologize to Aunt Wen right now!" Mu Yanfu said sternly.
Wen Chunlan quickly stood up from the bed and held the agitated Mu Yanfu, saying, "Don’t argue with the child. Nian Nian has been without a mother since she was young, so she’s somewhat resentful of my presence. I don’t mind, the most important thing is that you and your daughter get along well. I can endure some grievances."
Seeing how considerate Wen Chunlan was, Mu Yanfu felt full of guilt.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, looking slightly stunned, and walked out to the balcony to answer the call.
At this moment, a tall, imposing figure stood just outside the hospital room door. As he was about to enter, he paused upon hearing the conversation inside.
"Nian Nian, what do you want? Just tell me clearly. Stop making yourself sick time after time. This isn’t good for anyone." Wen Chunlan’s expression changed as soon as Mu Yanfu left, her eyes coldly watching Mu Shini.
Mu Shini chuckled, "Aunt Wen, can I control my sickness? Didn’t you say I have syphilis? Do you think I want these things on my body? Your fake concern for me now is just for that 1 billion dollars."
"Nian Nian, no matter what, I’ve watched you grow up for eighteen years. You’ve always treated me so coldly. Have I really done something to wrong you?" Wen Chunlan coldly looked at Mu Shini, "I don’t care what these things on your body are. If you really want to free yourself from the Mu Family’s control, just hold on until you and Bo Sishen’s wedding day. Once our Mu Family gets the 1 billion dollars, you can do whatever you want, and I won’t care if you live or die."
Mu Shini raised her eyes in a daze, her eyes red as she looked at Wen Chunlan, "Aunt Wen, if it weren’t for you taking my dad, my mom would still be here. She wouldn’t have abandoned me alone!"
