Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 557
Chapter 557: Frankness
Li Beinian had vaguely guessed it.
It was probably similar to the situation with Mu Xichen and Lin Ya.
She didn’t remember this person, but he definitely occupied a huge part of her subconscious.
But who was he?
That’s right.
The last time she saw him at the charity banquet, she had found him familiar too.
Shi Yuanhang’s surname was also Shi. Could there be some sort of relationship between them?
Li Beinian immediately asked.
Mu Xichen was silent for a moment before replying, “Shi Yishen is Shi Yuanhang’s uncle.”
“Uncle?” Li Beinian was shocked. “But Shi Yishen looks very young!”
As Mu Xichen navigated the car, he said, “Old Master Shi lost his spouse in his middle-age years and married a second wife not long after. Shi Yishen is Old Master Shi’s son in his later years. The man’s 33 this year. Old Master Shi is about the same age as your grandfather.”
“I see…” Li Beinian nodded.” Do you know Shi Yuanhang then? ”
Mu Xichen’s expression turned gloomy. After a long silence, he said bitterly, “He used to be one of my soldiers.”
“So how did it…”
“His mother is a member of P.I.T.”
Li Beinian was shocked. “How can that be? Isn’t he from Xia Nation!”
“The Shi family is an ancient family. There’s too much history.” Mu Xichen looked at the road ahead and placed his fingers gently on the steering wheel. He spoke unhurriedly, “About twenty years ago, his mother murdered her husband. Subsequently, she went abroad and left Yuanhang with the Shi family. Later on, he entered the army, until five years ago…”
“Has Shi Yuanhang betrayed us?” Li Beinian asked softly.
Hearing this, Mu Xichen pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
She was right.
The rest of the journey was silent.
In his heart, Shi Yuanhang was no less important than any of his brothers.
Li Beinian could tell that Mu Xichen’s heart was heavy.
She kept silent and looked at the rear view mirror. Behind her, the expressway was quiet and empty as the car sped along.
When they got home to Tai Chen Prefecture, they found a small orange colored car stopped in front of the courtyard.
Li Beinian recognized it as Mo Shengyun’s car.
Sure enough, a tall figure with tanned skin got out of the driver’s seat. He was dressed simply, and looked clean and neat.
It was Gu Mingye of course.
Mo Shengyun got out of the car and greeted them with a smile. “Sister-in-law!”
Things had happened so suddenly today, no one was in the mood to cook.
Gu Mingye and Mo Shengyun were here to deliver dinner. Coincidentally, they were having a meal and had come over after receiving Mu Xichen’s call.
However, Mu Xichen did not eat. He greeted Gu Mingye and headed down to the basement.
Li Beinian knew that the brothers would have a lot to talk about.
After the two women had chatted for a while, Mo Shengyun realized that Li Beinian seemed troubled. She had asked a few questions but they went unanswered.
Unable to take it anymore, Li Beinian heated up some food and brought it to Mu Xichen.
When she got to the basement, she saw that Mu Xichen was standing in front of the full-length windows.
Gu Mingye, on the other hand, was sitting on the sofa with a solemn expression.
Having spotted Li Beinian, he stood up and said, “Boss, have something to eat. I should get going.”
Mu Xichen turned around and replied, “Ok.”
After sending off the guests, Li Beinian shut the door and went back into the house. Mu Xichen was eating.
However, he seemed rather distracted.
He looked up at Li Beinian and said, “Come over here.”
