Chapter 803: Ruining the Event (2)
Li Beinian of course noticed this minute detail.
Her eyes shifted slightly before she continued, “I’m only curious. If you think this question hurts your little heart too much, you don’t have to answer it.”
Lin Kerou gritted her teeth.
Tong Yujia intervened angrily, “Li Beinian, you’re shameless. Aren’t you just trying to hurt my cousin with your words? You’re such a great pretender!”
Before Li Beinian could say anything, the man beside her narrowed his eyes.
His presence that was initially faintly hovering in the background took on an icy edge all of a sudden.
Although he had not yet said a word, almost everyone’s attention was immediately on Mu Xichen.
They knew the man had a bad temper.
That was in addition to his ruthless personality and quick and decisive style. Those who offended him almost always came to a bad ending.
In the military camp, he was domineering. It was said that under his training, many soldiers had given up and returned home. Their opinion of him was unanimous: the man was inhuman!
Although apart from Li Beinian, no one else present knew much about this ex-general.
However, Mu Xichen was an officer who had survived a hail of bullets and established a notorious reputation. Hence, people generally looked upon him in fear and trepidation.
This was particularly so for Tong Yujia, she shuddered with nervousness..
Her heart pounded as she turned to face Mu Xichen. The light in her eyes quivered and she said weakly, “I...”
“Apologize.” Mu Xichen’s words were minimal as he cast her a spine-chilling glare.
And even though his words were less than few, Tong Yujia found herself on the verge of tears.
Lin Kerou’s expression had turned extremely ugly.
This was her own wedding!
These two people were beyond arrogant!
They were aggressive towards her and now they were even bullying her!
Lin Kerou said, “Nian Nian, Tong Yujia is my cousin. She’s young and immature. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Young and immature? Just how immature?” Li Beinian smiled and sized up Tong Yujia’s chest.
Tong Yujia was furious, but she didn’t dare to be as insolent as before. Her face was flushed and her eyes were bloodshot.
“But since you’ve said so, I’ll back down for your sake. The world prioritizes pregnant women.” Li Beinian looked at Lin Kerou’s belly and smiled meaningfully. “I wish you a safe pregnancy and delivery.”
Tong Yujia got all worked up again and couldn’t suppress her anger. “What do you mean? Are you cursing my cousin?”
Li Beinian looked surprised and replied, “You have a strange way of thinking. How is wishing someone a safe pregnancy and delivery a curse?”
Tong Yujia turned a deep shade of red. “In any case, it just doesn’t sound good coming from you!”
Li Beinian laughed. “Why is that so?” She turned to Lin Kerou. “Look at this cousin of yours! One would think she doesn’t want a safe pregnancy and delivery for this child.”
Of course, Tong Yujia would never have dared to entertain such a thought. She immediately retorted, “That’s exactly your own bad intention, Li Beinian, don’t push your luck!”
Li Beinian sneered. “You’re trying to malign me in the presence of everyone. Why don’t you check if they’re deaf? When have I ever said such mean words? On the contrary, you keep insisting that I’m cursing Miss Lin. What exactly is your intention?!”
Tong Yujia turned pale. She wanted to argue her point but found herself dumbfounded. Li Beinian’s words were irrefutable.
Feeling helpless and anxious, she stomped her feet and said, “You’re just speaking nonsense!”
