My Dangerous Billionaire Husband
chapter-520

“Muchen, over the past six months, Yin De has not stopped asking you for money, and I have calculated the amount. He has gotten 30 billion in total from you. He used this 30 billion to work together with the Mu family. It is very obvious that he is planning to make use of your wealth as a stepping stone, and after he is truly powerful, he will kick you away immediately.”

The man still did not say anything. Liu Caizhe hesitated before he said, “Muchen, the Young Master of the Mu family, Mu Yunfan, is the same age as Miss Yin. The two of them can be said to be a perfect pair made in heaven. Both the Yin and Mu families have already made the plans…to privately enter into an arranged marriage.

“Yin De has raised Miss Yin up as his precious daughter, and he has not taken any rich family in T City seriously in the past few years. It is very obvious, that he has long targeted the Mu family and he wants Miss Yin to be Mrs. Mu, and she would be the future Queen of warfare in Singapore.

“Muchen, the reason why Yin De brought you back home seven years ago, we can go and guess. Actually, it is very easy to guess the reason behind it, the ugliest and most sinister face of being a human. Yin De got your mother, and you were 18 years old at that time. He did not have anything as a threat, so maybe you were your mother’s last weakness.

“Throughout these years, Yin De has always tried to make you his amulet and wanted to make you work hard on his behalf, but you entered the financial sector and destroyed all of his plans that he had for you, so he thought of a different plan.

“He used Miss Yin garner good relations with the Mu family. He wanted to be powerful himself, but why did he not think of breaking your wings? He is clear about this in his heart, there is a deep hatred between you and him, and the more power you get now, the greater a thorn in his side you are. The peace and calm now is only temporary. In the future, he will not let things go on like this.

“I wonder if over the past six months, was Yin De really sincere as he allowed Miss Yin to be by your side? He is merely making use of Miss Yin to numb you, or maybe in Yin De’s heart, you would be forever that poor chap that was from a poor background. Muchen, don’t be fooled with that bit of thinking. You should make it a clean break or else it will be even messier in the future. Think about your biological mother who is still living in a horrible environment. She is still waiting for you to save her.

“There is always the elimination of the weak on this earth. The strong will always dominate the weak. You did not have the background, and you can only rely on yourself. Yin De is wild and wicked. You are feeling bitter inside your heart right now. If you choose to let him off, you will be tortured to your death due to your kindness.

“Muchen, wake up. Miss Yin is a ticking time bomb that Yin De threw at you. Don’t lose yourself just because of this. Miss Yin is a luxury that you cannot afford to touch. You and her — there is no possibility between the two of you!”

Yin Muchen was calm as he listened to all of Liu Caizhe’s words. After a long, long time, he opened his eyes and turned his gaze sideways to look outside the window. “Hah…” He broke out into laughter.

The corners of his eyes were already red.

…

After two weeks, school was on vacation, and it was the season for reuniting. It was the eve of the new year.

The Yin family home was lit up brightly to welcome the Spring Festival, and this day, the Mu family brought Young Master Mu Yunfan over to the Yin home as guests, and Yin Muchen was also present.

After all, they needed to eat at the reunion dinner on the eve of the new year. Shi Xiaoqing called Yin Muchen over, and Yin Muchen agreed to attend.

Yin Shuiling stood on the balcony in sight of the dining table. On this winter day, she was dressed in a white wool vest, and her dark, flowy locks were braided into small braids. Her small, exquisite face looked bright and supple above the collar of the wool vest.

She was already 16 years old now.

There was a large garden below the balcony, and there was a pot of winter plums that were in full bloom. Yin Shuiling looked at the plum blossoms as she fell into a daze.

At this moment, a figure appeared by the side of the plum flower plant. It was Mu Yunfan. Mu Yunfan, who was 16 years old, looked extremely handsome, and he lifted his head up to look at Yin Shuiling. “Yin Shuiling, if you like plum flowers, I will pluck one branch and give it to you.”

Yin Shuiling did not have much of an expression on her face. Although she was unwilling to bother with him, the young girl still spoke. Her voice was soft and pleasant to the ears. “The plum flowers belong to my family; do I need you to pluck them to gift them to me to show off?”

Mu Yunfan shrugged his shoulders as he said, “You do not understand romance.”

At this moment, Ning Qing walked over from the main door of the Yin home. Mu Yunfan quickly smiled as he waved his hands. “Qingqing.”

Ning Qing looked over in his direction and had a sweet smile on her face. “Older Brother Yunfan….”

Mu Yunfan was about to walk over to Ning Qing’s direction.

“Qingqing.” At this moment, Xu Junxi walked over from the distance. He held a baked biscuit in his embrace, treating it as a treasure before handing it over to Ning Qing. “Qingqing, this is for you. Didn’t you say that you wanted a baked biscuit from Wu Tailang a few days ago? I went to buy it; eat it while it’s still hot.”

Mu Yunfan froze on the spot.

Yin Shuiling stood on the balcony as she looked all three of them, then she retracted her gaze, feeling bored. She slowly turned her small, soft figure around as she lightly walked over to the folding screen in the dining table.

She held the curtains with her small, fair hand, and she bit her pink bottom lip. She took a quick glance at the living room; Yin Muchen was seated in the living room.

There were three men seated on the sofa in the living room: Yin De, Mu Yunfan’s father, and Yin Muchen. The three men were chatting with one another about matters in the corporate world, and they would lower their gazes down occasionally as they laughed and enjoyed their time together with one another.

The three of them were all smoking, and the fumes of smoke covered their faces. Yin Shuiling could not see their faces clearly. Yin Muchen was the youngest one among them and was considered a junior, and both of his legs were crossed together. His tall and lanky figure was slanted as he leaned back on the sofa. He took a puff of the cigarette as he spoke in hushed tones, and he looked extremely charismatic.

She did not know what they were talking about, and he would occasionally squint his dark, narrow eyes together. Although he was smiling, his sharp and precise aura that he got from working in the corporate world was undeniable.

It was Yin Shuiling’s first time seeing such a scene. It was a business gathering between the men, and to a 16 year old girl, this kind of Yin Muchen made her feel nervous and made her heart beat quickly at the same time.

Her sharp gaze was fixed on his body, and she was charmed by him.

Senior Mu would get a call in the middle. He apologized before he headed out to take the call.

Yin De and Yin Muchen were left behind on the couch, and both of them were facing each other from opposite ends.

Yin De was cautious as he had a look at the expression on Yin Muchen’s face. Then he got straight to the point. “Muchen, the company needs more money again. You can help Uncle, right?”

“Yeah,” Yin Muchen hummed out as he lowered his head down to stub his cigarette on the ashtray on the coffee table. He also did not bother to beat around the bush as he asked, “How much?”

“Probably around 15 billion…in USD.”

Yin Muchen was amused. 15 billion USD dollars? That was an incredible amount.

Hah.

“Uncle, I understood what Uncle Mu meant just now. What kind of project have you been working on together with him? Why? What have you playing around with recently that you are lacking in so much funds?”

Yin De laughed awkwardly, but his eyes were extremely cautious. He did not answer the question directly but diplomatically replied, “I am playing with some military weapons with President Mu. It is just a small project.”

Yin Muchen lifted his head up to exhale the smoke. He was the type to smoke frequently, and he could blow smoke rings. “Uncle is in trouble. I would of course help you. 7 years ago, without Uncle, I do not know where I would be right now. I might have frozen to death or starved to death by now…”

Yin Muchen chatted meaninglessly, and he switched the topic suddenly as he slowly smiled. “To be honest, why did Uncle bring me back home 7 years ago? Why did you give me food to eat? I remember that you said that a friend begged you to do so, and this friend must be a close family friend of my family. Can Uncle tell me who this person is? It is only right for me to go and thank him.”

Yin De froze as he took the tea cup in his hands, and he lifted his gaze up to look at Yin Muchen.

Yin Muchen was smoking, and amidst the billows of smoke, his dark eyes looked deep and silent. There was a sinister glow in the bottom of his brightly sparkling eyes, but when Yin De went to take a closer look, the man was smiling once again, as if he were just chatting happily.

Yin De smiled awkwardly as he said, “This friend has already passed away. Even if I tell you who it is now, you probably wont know him. Seven years ago, when I adopted you, the most key point was that I saw you as a young seedling, and you would definitely be a talented person in the future.”

“Hah!” Yin Muchen laughed softly. He took another puff and stubbed the cigarette butt into the ashtray. He stood up and said, “Sure, 15 billion US dollars, I will give it to you.”

Yin De was extremely overjoyed as he said, “Muchen I just knew that you would help me, I am really so thankful towards you…”

“But,” Yin Muchen interrupted what he was saying, “I will give this amount of money in installments.”

“Muchen, you….” Yin De froze on the spot.

Yin Muchen scanned Yin De slowly. He curled his lips up into a smile. It obviously did not mean anything at all, but the tall and lanky man looked at Yin De who was sitting down on the sofa from top to bottom, and his expressions looked even more insulting and mocking. “15 billion USD — you have to let me catch my breath. I am not a machine that prints money. You should also take it slow; don’t squeeze me dry all at once.”

The words, “squeeze dry” were just like a slap to Yin De’s face, and Yin De’s face was both red and white at the same time.

This was the first time that Yin Muchen has ever spoken to him like that.

Yin Muchen did not look at him again. He used his left hand to take the suit that he placed on the back of the sofa. He lifted his heels and headed towards the direction of the door, “Uncle, I will be going now.”

Yin De was in a dilemma. He also stood up immediately, and he had a smile on his face as he tried to persuade him to stay. “Muchen, it is the Eve of the new year today. Don’t leave already. We should have the reunion dinner as a family.”

Yin Muchen smiled and did not stop in his tracks.

Yin De knew that Yin Muchen had already made up his mind, and actually, he was not sincere when persuading him to stay behind. It would be better this way. He only had to hand the money over. Yin De looked around the living room. He raised his volume as he asked the maids, “Where is Young Miss? Where did Young Miss go? Muchen is about to leave, quickly ask Young Miss to come out to send him off.”

The smile on the corners of Yin Muchen’s lips was even more obvious.

But his gaze was focused on the folding screen in the dining room in front of him. A girl appeared by the flowy material of the curtains. She had a pair of pink fluffy shoes and a small white fur vest. She looked reserved and frail as she stood there, just like a shy rose.

She lowered her gaze to her toes. She did not look at him, and he saw that she was using both of her small, fair hands to tug the hem of her skirt…

Yin Muchen slowed down in his steps. A gentleness appeared on his handsome face. How old was she now? She was 16 years old. She had grown older by one year, but she was still a young girl that was like a small rabbit, and she was so childish that she like to tug on the hem of her skirt.

Yin Muchen moved his thin lips, and with a deep voice, he said, “Shuiling, Older Brother is leaving.”

Yin Shuiling was very confused. She was angry, and she also had grievances with him, but two weeks ago, Yao Xiaozhu quit school and disappeared from T City. Everyone knew that Yao Xiaozhu bullied her, and he made Yao Xiaozhu disappear.

He still protected her the way he did in the past, and he loved and pampered her.

But, he did not contact her at all.

He was already distancing himself from her.

Yin Shuiling did not know what to do. She’d given her body to him, and his attitude now… He made her feel upset. She also had her own pride. She wanted to treat him coldly for a few days, and she wanted him to take the initiative and come to look for her to maintain the relationship.

But after seeing him today, her heartbeat was out of control once again, and she really missed him so much.

She felt that she was really so useless.

No matter how confused her feelings were, after hearing that he was about to leave, Yin Shuiling raised her head up suddenly, and her gentle eyes were about to cry. She pursed her small cherry-like lips as she said, “Older Brother, you are not staying behind to have dinner? It is the eve of the New Year today. It will be Spring Festival tomorrow.”
