Chapter 927: Final Chapter Before Death (14)
Fang Zhili, on the other hand, showed an expression of disgust, as if she had seen a pest. She sneered, “That person? She’s already married. You should have gone to the Mu Family. She doesn’t have a good relationship with our family. A married daughter is like water that has been thrown out. Go to the Mu Family.”
Li Haoran frowned and pondered. “How could she have died so suddenly? How could Mu Donglin be so careless as to not notice that his wife had been missing for a few days? No, I have to go take a look. After all, she’s my daughter.”
Li Xueqing’s eyes lit up. She stepped forward and took Li Haoran’s arm. “Dad, the Mu Corporation has invested in a movie recently. I’m keen on being the female lead. Why don’t we take this opportunity to discuss this with them?”
Li Haoran frowned in disapproval when he heard this and said, “She’s your sister after all. What would the media make of it if you were to address this matter right now? This is too soon. We’ll talk about it in a few days.”
Li Xueqing smiled. “Sure!”
At the Mu family mansion.
Mu Donglin was not surprised to receive news of Li Beinian’s death.
In fact, his wife’s death did not affect him at all.
Mu Donglin looked up at the police officers who had come to investigate. Although he looked calm, he was actually frowning. “Indeed, I haven’t seen her for a few days. Ever since she got pregnant, we’ve been living separately. You know, twins. She’s so big, of course I have to avoid her. Besides, I’ve been busy recently, and I really don’t know when she had gone missing. Where is she now?”
The police officers looked at each other, gave him the information regarding Li Beinian and her situation, and quickly left.
Mu Donglin looked at the stack of photographs in his hand. They showed Li Beinian’s body in a terrible state.
It was as ugly as when she was alive.
He tossed the documents into the drawer. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
A head popped in, looking lively and adorable.
Lin Kerou was wearing a light yellow dress. She skipped in and circled her arms around Mu Donglin’s. “Brother Donglin, let’s go. It’s time for dinner.”
Mu Donglin got onto his feet helplessly and patted her head. Suddenly, he halted and asked, “Did you know that Li Beinian has died?”
Lin Kerou widened her eyes and covered her mouth in disbelief. “Died? How could that be?”
Seeing this response, Mu Donglin looked even more helpless and replied, “She’s dead. I don’t know why she ran to the abandoned warehouse in the eastern suburbs. Her water broke and she probably couldn’t hang on till someone came to save her, so she died there.”
Lin Kerou blinked and and her eyes quickly turned bloodshot on hearing this explanation that had been told to her so casually. “Those two babies…”
“They died too.” Mu Donglin looked indifferent. “It’s good that they died, I suppose. I wouldn’t have wanted to raise Mu Xichen’s two children.”
Looking frightened, Lin Kerou threw herself into Mu Donglin’s arms. “Brother Donglin, when I give birth, you must stay by my side. It’s too terrifying!”
Mu Donglin’s face was full of tenderness as he comforted her quietly. “Don’t worry. Now that she’s dead, you can marry into the family officially. It also saves me the trouble of splitting assets with her and filing for a divorce.”
“Will the Li Family agree?”
“The Li Family?” Mu Donglin laughed scornfully. “They’re only looking to take advantage of Li Beinian’s death to extort some money.”
His words came true.
Sure enough, the Li Family came to extort money, but they didn’t even want her body.
In the end, Li Beinian’s body was claimed by Lin Yuxin’s boyfriend.
He claimed to be Li Beinian’s brother, Chi Hailang.
