Chapter 71: Sneering at Him

  Lin Tao listened and watched, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. Mu Xingchen was right, this girl was indeed too extraordinary. And indeed too crazy, really hadn't seen anyone so twisted before.

  "Are you still laughing? Look at me, your brother, in such a miserable state, and you're not even hurrying to help me explain?" Mu Xingchen, with his head of black hair, looked at Lin Tao who was still laughing, and he almost died from anger.

  "Haha, big brother, you're here too. Hurry up and help me out, let this black-bellied man release me quickly!" Meng Jun saw Lin Tao and immediately looked like he had found a savior.

  "Quickly help me! You're just standing there, not making a sound? Has your heart also turned bad?" Meng Jun continued to cry out pitifully, she was certain that Lin Tao wasn't in cahoots with Mu Xingchen.

  "Brother Tao, you must give me a fair judgment!" Mu Xingchen cried with a sad face and grabbed Lin Tao's hand, begging him. He didn't want to clash with this stubborn girl anymore, not because he was afraid of her, but because he was a bit tired of the tense relationship between them. It seemed that this girl had a good impression of Lin Tao, maybe having an intermediary would make things better.

  "What's going on here?" Lin Tao looked at one and then the other, really couldn't figure it out. Looking at Xingchen's attitude towards Meng Jun just now, he should be very serious, but why was this girl's attitude so twisted?

  "What's going on, do you still need to ask? Of course, he's bullying me. He's restricting my freedom in all sorts of ways, not letting me find a suitable job, and it's all just so he can keep me tightly bound to his side. Is this how one treats their girlfriend?" Meng Jun spoke with conviction, her words dripping with righteousness, clearly portraying Mu Xingchen as a tyrannical and overbearing boyfriend.

  You... You... Mu Xingchen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Had this girl's conscience been taken away by a dog? Her imagination was too rich, but why couldn't she imagine him in a better way?

  Lin Tao couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. When did the high-and-mighty Mu Liu Shao get bullied like this? It was truly unimaginable. He had always thought that with Mu Liu Shao's cleverness and strength, it would be impossible for someone to bully him in this lifetime. But now, the person in front of him was actually his nemesis?

  "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny? Why do people like you always build happiness on others' suffering? I thought you were different from them, but it turns out you're the same kind of person." Meng Jun's face fell, and his autumn-water-like eyes held a hard-to-endure sense of grievance and bitterness.

  In an instant, Lin Tao's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he understood that his resistance to Meng Jun was still far from enough. "Don't be sad! Don't cry! I'm not that kind of person, I really am not. You can rest assured, I absolutely won't let you suffer any grievances!" The tears that Meng Jun had been holding back effortlessly made Lin Tao lean towards her side.

  "Hey, wait a minute, I'm asking you, Lin Tao, which side are you on? How long have you known me, and how long have you known this girl? You can't possibly believe her over me, can you? What kind of person do you think I am? And isn't today's matter clear as day? Are you trying to wrongfully accuse me?" Mu Xingchen heard this and immediately became anxious, quickly running over and pulling Lin Tao away, looking like a child who had been wronged.

  "Hold on, hold on, Xingchen don't be in a hurry. What I said just now was just a temporary measure to calm her down first. Look at the way she's looking at you, it's as if she wants you dead. You wouldn't want your relationship to deteriorate further, would you?" Lin Tao suddenly realized that his previous words were indeed somewhat inappropriate, and he quickly comforted Mu Xingchen.

  "Hmm, this is still somewhat okay. You're the one who understands me best, if even you won't help me, then I'll be in a really pitiful state!" Mu Xingchen said, his eyes also reddening as he spoke. He felt wronged, and indeed he was wronged - he had clearly been a good-hearted Mr. Dongguo, so why did this deceitful girl take him for a big bad wolf?

  The beauty's tears are heart-wrenching, and the handsome man's tears are indeed lethal. Suddenly, Lin Tao panicked when he saw Mu Xingchen like this. This is his beloved younger brother, who has been wronged, how can he, as the older brother, sit back and do nothing?

  "Don't be sad, don't be sad! Xingchen, I've got this covered. I'll definitely help you get it done. Why don't you go out and take a break for now? I can see that Zhuo Mengjun has a deep prejudice against you, let me slowly persuade her, okay?" Lin Tao said while taking out tissues to wipe away Mu Xingchen's tears.

  "Alright, I'm putting all my hopes on you now." Mu Xingchen nodded gratefully, looked at him with full expectation a few more times, before slowly walking out.

  Good heavens, didn't she see it wrongly? This black-bellied man actually looked wronged to the point of tears? Is the sun rising from the west? Meng Jun behind her stared in shock. Hmph! Who would believe his words, even if he's crying, it's just crocodile tears. Meng Jun snorted coldly and still looked down on all this.
