“Psht!”

Li Beinian laughed aloud.

Mu Donglin kept quiet for a while before asking, “What are you laughing about?”

“Well.” Li Beinian’s eyes turned cold as she spoke slowly, “Which part of you noticed that I was unaffected by such namecalling?”

“Haven’t you been scolded enough by others?” Mu Donglin calmly said before breaking into a sneer. “What haven’t you done, and what haven’t you been through anyway?”

The hatred laid dormant inside Li Beinian erupted.

Yes, she had a terrible reputation. But did that mean she had to take the blame for everything or suffer such injustice?

Mu Donglin made her the scapegoat so many times in her previous life, based on this reason.

In order to fulfill the marriage contract with him, she’d put in so much effort and done all she could!

But he abandoned her deep in the wilderness, leaving her to die.

Even so, he was able to live peacefully with Lin Kerou.

Seeing that Li Beinian wasn’t about to say anything, Mu Donglin went on. “In fact, you just have to tolerate today’s matters. They aren’t the truth anyway, and someday everyone will discover that. It won’t affect you at all.”

“Why should I tolerate it?”

Mu Donglin paused and his voice went colder. “What did you say?”

“Why should I tolerate such absurd comments and insults?” Li Beinian sounded calm but serious. “Your grandpa and mine had a deal, a contract. Why have I become the third party here?”

Mu Donglin had no words.

“I’m a bastard child?” Li Beinian chuckled. “If we think about it, you’re the bastard child, Mr. Mu.”

2Mu Donglin’s expression hardened. “Do you know what you’re saying?”
