Chapter 419: If You Dared to Agree, You Cannot Lose

Mu Xichen was obviously at the losing end.

Li Beinian couldn’t bring herself to watch any further and asked Gu Mingye, “What exactly are they fighting for?”

“I don’t know what has gotten into Leader Mu recently, but he decided to let the Mayor take over one of his branch offices.” Gu Mingye sighed. “That branch has always been run by the Young Master, and he has always managed to achieve a remarkable annual profit. Young Master was upset about it, so he came to find our boss to reason it out.”

A branch office?

Li Beinian recalled seeing such a situation before.

That branch office had a major standing in the Mu Corporation. Mu Donglin was really furious and went to find Mu Xichen to reason it out with him.

After that incident, she heard that Mu Xichen and Mu Che were on really bad terms, and Mu Xichen left the city without even being able to take back his branch office. He only returned one year later.

“So they came here to challenge each other in drinking?” Li Beinian knitted her eyebrows. “What will happen when someone loses?”

“Mu Donglin demanded our boss to cut off all ties with President Mu.”

Li Beinian was startled, and her anger was instantly ignited. “And Mu Xichen agreed to it?”

No wonder!

When Mu Xichen was being investigated by the government previously, Mu Che was hardly present.

Although Mu Che did business for many years, his status allowed him to get away with many things in the military and political scene.

He was already at an old age when Mu Xichen got himself into trouble, so Mu Donglin had to help to settle everything with his own hands.

When Mu Xichen was ultimately executed, Li Beinian didn’t think that anything was wrong.

But now to think of it, there must have been a conspiracy in all of this!

Everyone knew that Mu Xichen was Mu Che’s son, so they would have been a lot more lenient to him.

But if someone had used the reason of “cutting off all ties” to cook up something, the result would have been vastly different.

Gu Mingye sensed Li Beinian’s anger, but he didn’t really understand the reason for it. He just nodded. “Yup.”

“He’s totally crazy!” Li Beinian was frustrated. “This is such a major issue, and he just lost it like that through a beer challenge? Does Mu Xichen have a brain?”

Li Beinian’s loud voice was laced with an anger that could move people.

The amount of alcohol had already put Mu Xichen in a trance. He heard Li Beinian’s voice and turned around to look at her.

The beautiful and grand chandelier seemed to cast a glow of light around her. Like a halo.

She stood there like a goddess, but her features were filled with anger.

She looked at him with crystal clear eyes at this moment, with a bright burn of fire lighting her eyes up with an amber glow.

Mu Xichen laughed at himself, and his heart gripped with a sense of bitterness.

She was really so certain that he would lose?

Did she really think so little of him?

The alcohol was probably kicking in. Mu Xichen felt like something was suffocating his heart.

He fought against his own unstable body and stood up straight with a sense of determination.

Li Beinian felt her heart clench with pain and suppressed anger watching him like that. She pressed her lips together tightly and finally said, “Since you dared to agree to it, you cannot lose.”

Mu Xichen froze. Surprised for a moment, a laugh escaped his mouth soon after.

The next moment, a loud sound of glass shattering filled the space, and glass shards with the scent of alcohol flew everywhere. Mu Donglin had smashed all the empty glasses left in front of him.

His face darkened, and the flush of redness from the alcohol made his face look like a piece of burning charcoal.

He glared at Li Beinian with daggers shooting out of his eyes as if he wanted to tear her up into pieces. “Li Beinian!”

Li Beinian returned his glare with an expression mixed with unknown emotions. She pursed her lips. “What’s wrong?”

Mu Donglin let out a shout that was close to madness. “I’m your fiancé!”

Li Beinian looked at him with indifference. “Young Master Mu, we’re no longer related in any way.”
