Chapter 156: I’m Not Rich Enough For You

When Mu Jingzhe heard everyone speaking up for her, her heart warmed. She was glad that there were many people who understood the situation. She looked at Old Lady Mu and said, “Did you hear that? You can’t spout nonsense without any evidence. Everyone here is an understanding person and can see clearly.”

“Who’s an understanding person? They’re just sailing with the wind. They’re only speaking up for you because they feel that you can earn money now. Do you think that whatever you say must be the truth? I insist that you did do it!” Old Lady Mu was unwilling to accept this outcome and started pestering her endlessly.

Mu Jingzhe scoffed. “If you want to play this trick, fine. I’ll play along. You said that I seduced Tang Moling, but I’ve actually seen you seduce Old Man Wang and Old Man Li next door. One isn’t enough. You even seduced two of them. You’re gaining vigor with age, huh. Can I ask you what you think? Which one of them do you like more? Or do you like both of them equally?”

Who didn’t know how to spread rumors? Anyone with a mouth could do it.

When Mu Jingzhe said that, everyone’s eyes lit up, while Old Lady Mu was stunned. “What kind of nonsense are you spouting? What Old Man Wang and Old Man Li? What’s that gibberish about me liking both of them? What kind of rubbish is that? I didn’t seduce them.”

The villagers laughed when they heard that. Their eyes lit up as they asked, “Old Lady Mu, tell us quickly, do you prefer Old Man Wang or Old Man Li?”

Old Lady Mu hadn’t expected her reputation to be tarnished at such an old age. She nearly choked as she pointed at Mu Jingzhe. “You! Mu Jingzhe, you… I’ll tear your mouth off!”

“I’m the one who should be tearing your mouth off. Old Lady Mu, you’re really shameless. You’re already so old, and your face is wrinkled like an orange peel. How dare you seduce my old man!”

A loud shout came from the crowd. It turned out to be Old Man Wang’s wife. Old Man Wang and Old Man Li’s wives were there.

Old Lady Mu’s face turned purple. “I didn’t do it!”

However, no one listened. They even advised Old Lady Mu. “Old Lady Mu, Old Man Wang and Old Man Li both have wives. Don’t get involved with them. If you really feel lonely, you can look for Old Man Fang. Old Man Fang is better. He’s single.”

“Yeah, Old Man Fang’s health is quite good too.”

Old Lady Mu’s face turned green when she heard their words. “Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense!”

She wanted to get up and rip their mouths, but Mu Jingzhe stopped her. “Are you angry?”

Old Lady Mu flew into a rage and turned around to scratch Mu Jingzhe. “I’ll rip your mouth off!”

“Are you sure?” Mu Jingzhe easily grabbed her hand. “You want to rip my mouth off with those old bones of yours? On the other hand, I can do that. I should’ve ripped that mouth of yours off long ago.”

Mu Jingzhe stared intently at Old Lady Mu’s mouth as though she was about to rip it off. Old Lady Mu felt a chill run down her spine, as well as a lingering fear.

“Mu Jingzhe, you… Quickly, tell them to stop talking!”

“Are you scared now? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Mu Jingzhe scoffed. “This is how it feels when you keep spouting nonsense and slandering me. If you don’t want to have anything to do with Old Man Zhao, etc, keep your mouth shut in the future.

“Otherwise, every time you make up a story about me and a man, I’ll make up a story about you and an old uncle. In any case, there are plenty of Old Man Wangs in the village.”

“You… Mu Jingzhe, you…” Old Lady Mu was so furious that she couldn’t speak. At that moment, Mu Xue couldn’t help but step forward. “Mu Jingzhe, that’s enough. Grandma is old and can’t handle this kind of provocation.”

“And I deserve it because I’m young?” Mu Jingzhe’s lips twitched. “I’ve made things clear today. In the future, stop making up stories about me seducing someone and all that.”

Everyone quietened down, and Mu Jingzhe couldn’t be bothered to continue speaking. She pointed at Tang Moling and told Mu Xue, “Since you said that Grandma can’t handle this kind of provocation at her age, you can settle this yourself.

“Tang Moling is the one who let you down. He is here right now. You should ask him yourself why he doesn’t want you since you were born with good fortune and riches.”

Tang Moling was originally filled with guilt and helplessness, but when he’d heard Mu Jingzhe say that she wouldn’t want him even if he was the only man left on earth, he had choked. However, he still said, “Yes, Mu Xue, I’ve let you down. If there’s anything you want, come at me. Don’t implicate innocent people.”

“Heard that? This is your own family matter. Don’t drag me into it.” Mu Jingzhe nodded. When she saw Mu Xue looking at Old Lady Mu, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Mu Xue, you’re not mute. Don’t ask your grandma to help you with everything. Come out and say something yourself. You two can make things clear now.”

Seeing that Mu Jingzhe was forcing Mu Xue again, Old Lady Mu was infuriated. “I’m not dead yet. Mu Xue is a young lady. How is she going to talk about this herself? Let me do it!”

Mu Xue, who was stiff but had nowhere to hide, braced herself and said, “Grandma, don’t say anything else. They’re together. You can’t beat them. It’s meaningless. Let’s go.”

At this point, she understood that Tang Moling would not change his mind and nothing would change. Harping on this here would only humiliate her further.

Of course, Mu Xue still believed that Mu Jingzhe would be the most humiliated.

No matter how pitiful and reasonable Mu Jingzhe made herself out to be, the fact that she had snatched Tang Moling hadn’t changed. She should be the one being criticized!

Although these women seemed to be on Mu Jingzhe’s side, based on her understanding of them, they would definitely gossip behind her back.

Mu Xue had an aggrieved look on her face, while Mu Jingzhe’s forehead was full of black lines[1]. These words reeked too much of a green tea smell[2]. “No, Mu Xue, don’t you understand the human language? I’m asking you two to make things clear. You’re not making sense. Which two people are together?”

Tang Moling also felt that Mu Xue was being a little weird. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you say that it was meaningless just now? Why are you only saying it’s meaningless after so much has been said?”

Tang Moling felt a little dizzy after he finished speaking and decided to skip the topic. “Since you want to say something meaningful, then I’ll answer your question and tell you why I broke off my engagement to someone like you, who was born with good fortune and riches. The reason is simple. I think it’s probably because I’m not that rich anymore and I no longer deserve you.”

He had already told Mu Xue that he no longer liked her, but he couldn’t say that in front of so many people. Besides, he didn’t dare drag Mu Jingzhe into this mess. He didn’t dare say that he’d had a change of heart and fallen in love with Mu Jingzhe, so Tang Moling changed his words.

After Tang Moling finished speaking, he felt that there really was some meaning to all this. When he had still been the heir, everything had been fine. However, now that his uncle had woken up from his coma, everything had changed.

Perhaps he really wasn’t good enough for Mu Xue, who had been born to be rich.

Tang Moling was shocked by his own conclusion.

As for Old Lady Mu, her ears pricked up at the words ‘not that rich anymore’. “What do you mean you’re not that rich anymore? Did something happen to your family?”

“Nothing happened to my family, but now that my uncle woke up from his coma, I’m no longer the heir.” Tang Moling shrugged. “I told you before that I’ve been staying at my maternal grandfather’s house, so these are actually my maternal grandfather’s assets.

“I only became the heir because my uncle got into a coma previously. Now that he is awake, I won’t be needed anymore.”

His maternal grandfather and uncle would not treat him badly. He could rely on his own abilities to carve out a career for himself, but he would definitely be inferior to the heir of the Ji Family.

This was the first time Old Lady Mu and Mu Xue had heard of this. They were both shocked. Tang Moling was no longer the heir?
