The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 139 A Reason To Hurt Others

The old lady's face was instantly plastered with guilt. She struggled as she supported her grandson to stand up. Thereafter, she explained to Gong Yu, "Sir, you might not know but Xiao Qi wasn't like this in the past. His parents have divorced because his father had a mistress. That vamp was prettier than his mother, so ever since then, he started hating all beautiful woman. As long as he sees one, he will think of ways to cause trouble for them. I brought him to a psychologist, but he wouldn't cooperate. So actually, he's a poor thing. He got separated from his mother at such a young age and his father only cares about the vamp. Other than giving Xiao Qi money, he doesn't care about him at all."

"But this shouldn't be a reason for him to hurt others! Besides, my wife is now pregnant, what if something goes wrong?"

The old lady looked at Yun Muxi and the guilt in her eyes became heavier. "I'm so sorry! Let Xiao Qi and I apologize and make it up to you. I'm willing to pay whatever the amount of compensation you want."

"Compensation? How much do you think the baby is worth?"

The old lady was instantly poverty-stricken and her cheeks flushed bright red. She kept rubbing her hands and finally blurted out after holding it for quite some time, "Sir, I'm really sorry! I'm willing to accept whatever you request."

"Hmph, whatever I request?"

"Yes, as long as you..."

Before the old lady finished her words, Xiao Qi interrupted her. "I'll take responsibility for my own actions. Don't give my grandmother a hard time. You can deal with me as you please, be it killing me or cutting me into pieces. Is that enough?"

Seeing the boy's att.i.tude, Gong Yu became even more furious. "Look at you, you still want to pretend to be righteous? I even want to beat your heart out."

Hearing that, the old lady quickly held onto Gong Yu's arm and pleaded, "Sir, can you please go soft on my grandson and not give him a hard time? I'll get my son to bring money over right now. Any amount is fine, my son is rich. As long as you can let my grandson go."

Yun Muxi, who was standing behind, could not watch this develop any further. She pulled Gong Yu and said, "Gong Yu, let's go."

He turned and looked at her. She was pleading with a pitiful look.

Gong Yu felt helpless. He threw an icy stare at the boy and warned sternly, "Don't let me see you again, if not I'll definitely not let you go so easily next time."

Seeing that she had successfully persuaded Gong Yu, Yun Muxi quickly pulled him away before he could regret.

Yun Muxi kept tugging him until they arrived at the fresh produce section. He looked at her and asked lightly," "Why did you let the boy go so easily? You should know that he needs some punishment, if not he'll do it again in the future."

Yun Muxi answered calmly as she chose her vegetables, "I know. But I pitied the old lady and didn't want to give her a hard time."

"But the old lady was obviously spoiling her grandson. This will lead to something serious sooner or later."

"I just felt that it must be nice to have an elder protect you like this. I've never enjoyed my grandparents' protection since young, and neither did Niannian."

Yun Muxi's gaze darkened by a few shades and Gong Yu's heart ached when he saw that.

He pulled her into his embrace. "You fool, your problem is that you're too soft-hearted. Be careful, you might suffer big losses in the future."

Yun Muxi looked up at his handsome face. She chuckled, "Then are you willing to suffer big losses with this fool?"

Gong Yu smiled helplessly. "Hmph, then aren't I the bigger fool? But I'm willing to be that fool because I want to be with you."

The trio finished their purchase quickly and left the supermarket. Just as the car started, Yun Muxi's phone rang.

Yun Muxi looked at the caller ID and picked up the phone with a smile. "h.e.l.lo, bro?"

Murong Ye's voice traveled from the other side of the line. He seemed to be busy at the moment. It could be inferred from his voice that he was busy doing other things.

"Xiao Xi, make some time tonight to have dinner at the old house."

"Huh? Why? I just finished grocery shopping and is about to go to your house to make dinner. I especially bought more ingredients."

"Father wants you back. Bring Niannian and Gong Yu along."

"Can we change it to another day?"

Murong Ye put down his pen and the doc.u.ment that he was about to sign. He spoke in a serious tone, "Xiao Xi, you have to learn not to go against Father's wishes, or else you will die a miserable death."

"I... I was just asking... If it can't be done, then forget it."

"Okay. Make Gong Yu send you there. I'm still busy, but I'll be back for dinner."

"Okay, then I'll bring along the ingredients that I just bought and cook them at the old house."

"Okay, see you tonight."

After hanging up, Yun Muxi turned towards Gong Yu and said, "Bro asked us to go to the old house for dinner tonight."

"Oh, okay, I'll send you two there."

"Bro said that I should bring you along."

Gong Yu froze for a while before asking, "Did your father specify that he wants to see me? It'll be my first time meeting him at the old house. Do I have to change my clothes?"

"I think that's unnecessary. It's not like he hasn't seen you before. Besides, you look good in everything!"

"Oh? It's been so long since I heard Mrs. Gong praise me!"

Gong Yu's reminder made Yun Muxi realize what she had just said. She almost wanted to bite off her tongue.

She turned and looked out of the window casually. "Erm, I'm not sure if Father knows about what happened to Niannian. I think when the old man finds out, he would probably feel bad for her."

Seeing that Yun Muxi was obviously trying to change the topic, Gong Yu could not help but laugh out loud.

Yun Muxi was fl.u.s.tered and her cheeks turned bright red. For the rest of the journey, she did not speak another word to him. She pretended to have pa.s.sed out.

Gong Yu drove to the Murong Family's old house. Murong Ye probably already informed the security guard beforehand, as the big gate gradually opened as soon as Gong Yu pulled up outside.

This was Gong Yu's first time driving into the Murong Family. As for someone like him who had grown up in a palace, their old house was nothing, but Gong Yu was still struck in awe.

He had never imagined the old house to be this humongous. He could tell that the story behind the Murong Family was far beyond what they imagined.

Gong Yu asked, "Do you know what the Murong Family does?"

Yun Muxi woke up in shock. She turned to him and said, "I don't know. I've never thought of coming back, so I've never paid attention to it."

"No wonder!"

"No wonder what?"

"Nothing, the Murong Family must be far beyond your imagination."

Yun Muxi was a little confused, but the car had already pulled up in front of the big door of the main house. Murong Qingtian was already waiting at the door and it seemed like he had been waiting for a long time.

He had directly moved a set of table and chair to the big door, where he sat down and enjoyed a cup of tea as he waited for them to arrive.

At the very moment when the car came to a complete stop, he dashed towards it, opened the door, and pulled Niannian into his arms.

"My good granddaughter, did you miss grandfather? I missed you so much."

Niannian nodded obediently. Her situation seemed better than before.

Yun Muxi and Gong Yu got off the car too. She was just about to explain when Murong Qingtian interrupted her. "I know."

Yun Muxi could only swallow up the words that she was going to say and replaced them with, "Father, I just bought some ingredients. I initially planned on cooking at home, but since I had to come here out of a sudden, I'll take care of dinner tonight. What do you like to eat? I'll make them for you."

Hearing her words, Murong Qingtian was shocked. Not only did Yun Muxi call her 'Father', but she was also going to cook for him?

Murong Qingtian felt overwhelmed. He answered, "Um, you're saying that you're going to cook for me? And did you just call me 'Father'?"

Yun Muxi nodded. She did not seem bothered at all. She retrieved the ingredients from the car boot and walked indoors naturally, leaving Murong Qingtian stunned and rooted to the ground.

Gong Yu stopped beside him and called out, "Father, let's head in."

Murong Qingtian was once again shocked. "What... what did you call me?"

"Father! Xiao Xi and I have already gotten our certificate, so it only makes sense for me to start calling you 'Father'."

Murong Qingtian was stunned by the sudden waves of shock.

Gong Yu felt helpless and called out again, "Father, let's head in first."

Murong Qingtian finally woke up from his pleasant surprise. He laughed happily, "Good, good, good. Let's go inside!"

Gong Yu chuckled and stretched out his hand to take over Niannian. "Father, let me do it, she's heavy!"

"She's not heavy, I like to carry Niannian, I missed Niannian."

The trio entered the door happily as Yun Muxi started to get busy in the kitchen.

Murong Qingtian carried Niannian and placed her on the sofa.

He looked towards Gong Yu and asked wryly, "Gong Yu, when are you guys planning to get the wedding done?"

Gong Yu answered calmly, "It all depends on Xiao Xi. I respect her decisions."

Murong Qingtian laughed even more heartily, "Haha... Although Xiao Xi is my daughter, you don't have to be like this in front of me. I'm quite open."

"I didn't say that because of you. I really hope to go by her decisions. I love her, so I'm willing to accept her all."

Murong Qingtian nodded with satisfaction. "Xiao Xi is my only daughter. Although I also have Xiao Ye, looking at that kid, I can't even expect him to get married and bear me a child. So I hope that Xiao Xi can have a super big wedding."

"Yes, if Xiao Xi is willing, I also hope to give her a grand wedding. I'm willing to give her the best."

"Then have you guys mentioned talked the dates?"

"Xiao Xi hasn't thought about that yet."

"Oh? Xiao Xi is unwilling?"

"Truth to be told, I had to lure her to get our marriage certified, as for a wedding..."

"Okay, I understand. Our Xiao Xi can be too stubborn at times. Don't worry, Xiao Ye and I support you in this, we will cooperate fully with you."

As Yun Muxi was kept busy in the kitchen, she had no idea that her father and her brother had joined forces to form an alliance with yet another person. They have no idea how to continue luring her.

Just at this moment, not sure if it was telepathy or not, her left eyelid started twitching crazily. She got fl.u.s.tered and cut her finger with the knife. She let out a horrifying scream. "Ah...!"
