Chapter 139 - Renewal of Contract ("You can't be in a relationship, but can you be married?") (1)

It was not often that Mu Sehun saw his father
being so angry and he wasn't sure what to do all of
a sudden. He finally let go of Mu Jungkook's collar,
walked over to Wang Lia, bent down and asked,
"Mom, what is going on?"

Wang Lia, being pressed down on the floor with
her hair all over the place and half of her makeup
gone from her crying, shouted at him frantically.

"What do you mean what is going on? The Mu's are
trying to kill your mother here and all you are going
to do is to stand there and watch? What kind of a
bastard child have I raised here?"

Mu Sehun's face darkened. He straightened up his
body and remained silent.

The tension was taut between the father-and-sons
frio. Old Mrs. Mu and Mu Dara stood to one side,
not being able to be a part of the conversation.

Xu Lisa reached out and straightened out Mu Jungkook's collar for him before she stepped aside
and just be a bystander in all this. Mu Sehun was
obviously gauging right now. He needed to figure
out whether his status in the Mu's and in Old Mrs.
Mu and Mu Jiyong's mind would be affected if he
continued to side with Wang Lia.

Mu Jiyong and Wang Lia had always been an
affectionate couple. Now that Mu Jiyong had found
out the truth of what had happened back then, his
attitude had a 180-degree change. But, even so, the
way he looked at Mu Jungkook was still alerted without a hint of regret or sympathy to what had happened to him.

Had Wang Lia clued him in what she had done
to Mu Jungkook and his mother and the two worked
together on scheming money from Grandpa Mu, this
day might never have happened.

Money was probably the only thing that Mu Jiyong
really cared about.

"Wang Lia, you never needed to worry about
clothes or food all these years and have always
been the most envied in the rich lady circle. I have
also given you quite a bit of money other than what
you have spent. I have always been under the
impression that women are to be pampered and had
never been petty with you." Mu Jiyong pulled out a
chair and sat down in front of her. Looking at her
from high up, he said, "I never would have imagined
that you could be so greedy as to want to take all the
money from the Mu's."

"So?" Wang Lia pursed her lips with difficulty.

"Yes, I married you with the Mu's wealth in mind. But over the last 20 years, I have given you a son and raised him, supported the entire family, and slowly given up on all my dirty acts. every penny of the Mu's wealthy is still under your control. Am I wrong? Can you really not tell whether I have real feelings for you?"

"Oh, stop pulling the emotion card already," said Mu Jiyong coldly. "The only thing I could tell is that all of your true feelings are toward money."

Wang Lia's mouth cracked open all of a sudden
and she cackled. "HAHAHA! And exactly what are
you going to do even if you are right? Are you going to wave the dirty laundry so that everybody will hear about this? Or you are going to join your sons and take care of me right here right now?"

Mu Jungkook suddenly increased the force on his foot and pushed her nerve-grinding laughter back into her. "Wang Lia, I am not going to take care of
you here and dirty the Mu's floor and my woman's
eyes." He stood up straight, pulled out his cellphone
from his pocket, and dialed three numbers.

"You've caused my mother's death and my
grandfather was unable to go in peace. Wang Lia
there are places on this world for people like you.
You will be sentence to life in prison with no chance
of early release. Those who are there can commit
acts that are beyond your imagination just for a tube of toothpaste. I would very much like to find out how many days can you last in a place like that."
