Chapter 661 An Ungrateful Person

It was a few days since Ziyue had left.

The presidential election had officially begun, but it wasn't over yet. It was a long process, and it was a crucial juncture now.

For the next month or so, the candidates had to go around making speeches to ask for voters' support.

Going around to make speeches and campaign for votes took energy, time, and money. It was a considerable expenditure, and this segment naturally needed financial support.

Yuchuan wanted Muchen to support the same person as him.

Muchen pretended to go along with Yuchuan but sent Ziyue away instead. Perhaps things couldn't be solved quickly today.

After Ziyue had left, he hadn't returned to Mogwin Castle for a few days. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

One reason was that he was indeed busy. The other was that he didn't want to return.

When Ziyue was previously here, he had moved back to Mogwin Castle with her because Country J wasn't safe, and the people in Gricy were watching in private. It was safer to stay in Mogwin Castle.

Now that Ziyue had returned, he didn't need to worry about anything.

Ke saw Muchen silent for a long time, so she asked tentatively, "So do you mean…"

"Let him come. Go about your affairs. You don't have to care."

After that, Muchen looked down and started to work.

Ke saw his perfectly composed demeanor and sighed silently.

She knew that Muchen and Yuchuan had a strained relationship. She also knew that high stakes were involved in Ziyue returning to the country. Therefore, even if Muchen hadn't instructed anything for the past few days, she had ordered people to keep watch on Yuchuan.

When she heard the news of Yuchuan going to LK Group, she rushed to look for Muchen.

Since Muchen didn't care, she didn't ask further.

…

Yuchuan came not long after Ke left.

Perhaps he had come from meeting certain officials. He was dressed formally, but he looked slightly sullen.

Zheng came in behind Yuchuan. There were two bodyguards behind him.

"Why have you come to the office to look for me?" Muchen put down the pen in his hands but didn't get up.

Yuchuan looked at him darkly and roared, "You sent Ziyue back to Country Z? What's going on?"

"We've left Country Z for a few months. Our child is young, and he misses his mom. Should I not have sent her home?" Muchen seemed a lot calmer compared to Yuchuan's sudden rage.

Although it made sense, but what Muchen mentioned was only applicable for ordinary families.

Ziyue had come to Country J because she was threatened by Yuchuan back then. It was entirely to control Muchen.

After such a long time, he thought Muchen had seen things clearly, but he never thought that his amazing grandson would give him such a big surprise.

What an ungrateful person.

"Why didn't you discuss it with me?" Yuchuan restrained his anger, but his voice was sharp.

"You're so busy. You don't have to worry about little things like this." Muchen's voice was indifferent, as though he wasn't paying attention to Yuchuan's anger. Still, Muchen had no intentions of angering him.

The polite farce between the two of them had disappeared long ago.

However, Muchen couldn't help but maintain a superficial peace with Yuchuan.

As for why…

"Hmph! Qin Muchen, do you really think there's nothing I can do to Ziyue after you send her back?" Yuchuan laughed in a rage as though he could blackmail Muchen as he expressed his contempt for Muchen.

Muchen's expression turned cold, and an undercurrent surged violently in his eyes, but it instantly subsided.

"You let Hanyan go even when she wanted to kill you back then, so why can't you let Ziyue go? Furthermore, Ziyue has never threatened you or done anything to harm you. She's the most innocent in this. She even innocently suffered hardship because of you! Why do you insist on holding on to her and not letting her go?! Do you feel very accomplished by controlling a woman?!"

Muchen stared straight at Yuchuan with a distant yet deep coldness in his eyes. His voice kept rising, and it rang in the room.

Yuchuan's expression changed slightly.

He and Muchen looked at each other, but he spoke to Zheng and the bodyguards who were behind him. "Leave!"

Although he tried his best to stay calm on the surface, his voice trembled slightly. He was enraged.

"Earl…" Zheng was slightly hesitant.

Master Muchen looks furious, and the Earl also looks infuriated. Zheng had a thorough understanding of both personalities. What could he do if something happened while no one else was around?

Yuchuan finally couldn't control his fury. He growled, "Get out!"

He had almost used all his might. Even the muscles on his face trembled along with his voice.

Zheng didn't dare to say anything else. He quickly left with the bodyguards.

"What's wrong? Is the Earl of Augsburg afraid of letting his subordinates and servants hear such minor matters?" Muchen leaned back with a relaxed and leisurely expression.

Yuchuan walked to the desk and stared viciously at Muchen. "I don't know what nonsense you're spouting! I liked Hanyan in the past, but she kept risking my life. How could I have let her go? She escaped!"

"Great Earl, you don't have to say such useless things between us. Do you think I don't know what kind of a place Mogwin Castle is? And do you think I'm clueless about your personality?"

Muchen's voice got softer, but each word weighed in Yuchuan's ears.

Yuchuan clenched his hands tightly, and his eyes widened as he glared at Muchen as if he wanted to bore a hole through Muchen.

Muchen didn't say anything else.

Although he wanted to expose Yuchuan's true colors now, he wasn't sure. Even if he was, it wasn't the best time to do so now.

The room was quiet for a moment, and Yuchuan calmed down slightly. "You better know what you're talking about!"

"Alright. Let's not talk about Hanyan anymore. Her life is basically over with her revolting behavior."

When Muchen spoke, he silently sized up Yuchuan.

He noticed that Yuchuan's expression didn't change at all.

He furrowed his brows slightly and looked away. "As for Ziyue, our child misses his mom, so she returned to see him. I don't think there's anything wrong with this. Moreover, I'm busy now and have no time to care for her."

As Muchen spoke, he feigned seriousness as he reached his hand out to massage the bridge of his nose.

Yuchuan sneered. "Are all the servants in Mogwin Castle for display?"

Muchen smiled. "Of course. Otherwise, how could Hanyan have escaped on her own?"

"You…" Yuchuan was flabbergasted.
