Yan Xi wanted to struggle, to resist, but she was no match for Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan sneered and asked, "Yan Xi, aren't you curious how Mu Jing Shen died? Don't you want to know who my backer is?"
Yan Xi really wanted to know, so when Liu Yuan spoke, Yan Xi showed some reaction.
Yan Xi looked up at Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan said word by word, "My backer is also your maternal grandfather, Mr. Yao. Mu Jing Shen didn't know about all this, and he betrayed your grandfather. I had no choice but to kill him myself."
Yan Xi was shocked by Liu Yuan's words. Yan Xi had always known that although Liu Yuan was Mu Jing Shen's biological mother, she did not love him and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
Hearing Liu Yuan admit to killing Mu Jing Shen with her own hands, Yan Xi felt sympathy for him from the bottom of her heart.
Yan Xi wondered how Mu Jing Shen would react if he knew the truth, but it was no longer important.
As the saying goes, even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs. Yan Xi had never seen such a cruel mother in the world.
Before, Yan Xi didn't know the truth. Seeing Kong Ya Lan's attitude towards Yan Xiao, and how different it was from her attitude towards Yan Xi and Yan Yi, Yan Xi wondered why Kong Ya Lan only liked Yan Xiao and not her or Yan Yi.
During that time, Yan Yi needed money for treatment, and Yan Xi earned it for him. Kong Ya Lan didn't contribute a single cent, but then she bought Yan Xiao designer bags.
Later, Yan Xi found out that she and Yan Yi were not Kong Ya Lan's biological children, which was why Kong Ya Lan was so heartless towards them.
But Liu Yuan was Mu Jing Shen's biological mother. How could a biological mother be so cruel to her own son?
Before, Liu Yuan had been using Mu Jing Shen to get back into the Mu family. Now, Liu Yuan had partnered with Mr. Yao and, in order to gain his trust, was willing to kill her own son.
"Yan Xi, if you don't want Fu Yan Ting to get hurt, I advise you to obey me obediently."
Yan Xi looked up at Liu Yuan with hatred.
Seeing Yan Xi's hateful gaze, Liu Yuan became even more triumphant.
Liu Yuan knew that Mr. Yao was Yan Xi's maternal grandfather, but their relationship was not good.
They didn't have that deep a connection.
Therefore, even if Liu Yuan killed Yan Xi, Mr. Yao would not do anything to Liu Yuan.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan became even more pleased with herself.
"Yan Xi, I told you, I will be a good mother-in-law. As long as you obey me obediently, I will definitely protect you and not let anyone bully you. But if you don't listen to me, forget about Mr. Yao, even Fu Yan Ting won't be able to protect you."
Yan Xi clenched her fists tightly, but she could do nothing to Liu Yuan.
She could only watch Liu Yuan act so arrogantly in front of her, powerless to stop her.
"Yan Xi, you've been married to Fu Yan Ting for so many years. You should know that Xin Yi is Fu Yan Ting's subordinate. Aren't you curious why Xin Yi has been secretly protecting Fu Yan Ting, yet Fu Yan Ting still gets injured again and again?"
Hearing Liu Yuan's words, Yan Xi looked up at her in confusion. Liu Yuan's lips curved upwards slightly as she observed Yan Xi. Liu Yuan knew very well that by saying this, Yan Xi would become suspicious of Xin Yi.
This was exactly the effect Liu Yuan wanted.
Seeing Yan Xi's furrowed brows, Liu Yuan's lips curved upwards slightly.
She looked at Yan Xi and suddenly leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Yan Xi, I actually have many secrets I want to tell you. If you want to know, then obediently listen to me and marry my son first."
"What if I refuse?"
"Then don't blame me for being impolite."
Liu Yuan always knew what she wanted.
Therefore, Liu Yuan knew how to threaten Yan Xi.
"Yan Xi, if you don't do as I say, not only will Fu Yan Ting die, but your brother Yan Yi will also have an accident. Believe it or not, just wait and see."
Yan Xi clenched her fists tightly, wanting to resist. But before Yan Xi could retaliate, Liu Yuan suddenly approached her and whispered in her ear, "Yan Xi, don't you want to know the connection between your grandfather and that mysterious organization?"
Hearing Liu Yuan's words, Yan Xi stopped and looked at her.
Liu Yuan's lips curved upwards slightly. She wasn't foolish; she knew what kind of person Mr. Yao was. To ensure that Mr. Yao wouldn't harm her, she had to keep Yan Xi by her side and use her as a shield when necessary.
Although Mr. Yao didn't care much about Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting was behind Yan Xi. She didn't believe Mr. Yao would have the same attitude towards Fu Yan Ting.
Moreover, even setting aside Mr. Yao, Yan Xi had an unusual relationship with the He family. Yan Xi also possessed the formula for the medicine left by Yao Wan Qi. If she kept Yan Xi by her side, she could obtain the formula. Once she colluded with the mysterious organization, she could claim credit.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan was truly satisfied with Yan Xi, her only dissatisfaction being that Yan Xi didn't listen to her.
"Yan Xi, as long as you marry my son and become my daughter-in-law, I will tell you everything you want to know. How about it?"
Hearing Liu Yuan's words, Yan Xi instinctively wanted to refuse. Someone who could conspire with Mr. Yao and kill her own son was clearly not a good person.
Yan Xi knew that she would not have a good ending if she associated with such a person.
However, at this moment, to leave safely, Yan Xi had to agree to Liu Yuan's terms. Otherwise, Yan Xi dared not guarantee what Liu Yuan would do to her.
Just as Yan Xi was about to agree, a cold voice echoed from above her head.
"If you want my wife to marry your son, you'll have to get my permission first."
Yan Xi looked up and saw Fu Yan Ting standing there. Seeing Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xi felt as if she had grasped a lifeline and quickly ran behind him. Fu Yan Ting's eyes turned dark and venomous as he saw Yan Xi's injured face.
Yan Xi sensed that Fu Yan Ting's expression had become extremely grim. She tugged at his hand and whispered, "Husband, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me."
The more Yan Xi said this, the angrier Fu Yan Ting became.
Fu Yan Ting knew very well that Yan Xi was doing this for Mu Jing Shen...
