The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 127: Zhai Yumou

"Ah... it hurts so much..."

Qi Nianshi had not expected Fu Xiao to show no mercy and actually assault her in public. The kick was so forceful that her knee hurt badly, making it impossible for her to stand.

Fu Xiao felt a bit of satisfaction.

Seeing her in this state was far more pleasant than the "white lotus" act she had put on earlier.

Qi Nianshi bit her lip, tears streaming down her face—this time, the tears were real, caused by pain.

"Now that I'm kneeling, can you forgive me?"

She couldn't easily give up; she couldn't afford to lose the support of the Mu family.

Fu Xiao noticed the fleeting hatred in her eyes just as someone approached from behind.

Mu Lianshen's tall and dignified figure appeared, his handsome face shadowed by a hint of gloom.

Seeing the scene at the door, his voice was cold. "What are you doing here?"

Qi Nianshi, frightened by Mu Lianshen's icy tone, shuddered and quickly tried to get up. However, due to the injury inflicted by Fu Xiao's kick, she couldn't stand immediately.

Mu Lianshen waved his hand, and a couple of security guards came out from behind him to drag Qi Nianshi off the ground.

Without sparing her a glance, he said, "Send her to the Qi family. Also, notify the gatekeepers not to let her into the estate in the future."

The guards complied and began pulling her away. Qi Nianshi glared at Fu Xiao with hatred but did not dare to speak in Mu Lianshen's presence, as she truly feared him.

Fu Xiao paid no attention to her glare, seeing it as mere impotent rage.

Mu Lianshen turned to face Fu Xiao, his eyes bloodshot, indicating that he might not have slept all night.

Feeling a sense of heaviness in his chest, he looked at her with a softened expression. "She will no longer appear in front of you."

Fu Xiao nodded but had nothing more to say and was about to turn away.

"Mu Wanlan will be taken away soon. The evidence of her deeds has been compiled, and she will face legal judgment..."

Hearing his voice from behind, Fu Xiao's lashes fluttered slightly as she replied softly, "Yes."

This was something she had already known.

She continued to walk forward...

"And also..."

Detecting the hesitation in his voice, Fu Xiao turned back to look at him, curious about what he wanted to say.

He avoided her gaze initially but eventually looked up at her, his eyes rimmed with a faint red.

His hands were clenched tightly at his sides, his eyes bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse. "And also... I am powerless to do anything about her. I'm sorry about your mother, but she is my..."

Oh...

Fu Xiao understood that he was referring to his mother, Mrs. Yang Cuiping.

Yes, although she had been deceived by Mu Wanlan, she had indeed harmed Fu Jingzhu.

He had wanted to say that she was his mother.

But Fu Jingzhu was also her mother...

Fu Xiao murmured, "And my mother..."
