Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself Chapter 787

Chapter 787 - I’m In His Way, He’s My Eyesore

A bank in England, five billion!

In other words, the five billion was not in Xia Nation currency, but… British pounds?

In Xia Nation currency, it was over 40 billion!

Suddenly, the check seemed to feel scorching hot. Li Beinian glanced at it once and did not dare to look again. She said, “Let’s return it, Nico must be crazy!”

He had to be crazy, hadn’t he?

If he weren’t, why would he give anyone such a huge sum of money?

Li Beinian was so shocked that she shuddered. At this point, she noticed the other piece of paper that Mu Xichen was holding.

He had already unfolded it to reveal the words that were written clearly on it.

It was written using a fountain pen.

Not only could Nico draw beautifully, his handwriting was beautiful too.

However, it wasn’t written in Chinese, but English.

(The following is a translation)

Dear Beinian,

I’m very happy to have met you in Xia Nation. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it.

I’m a failure.

In England, I have no sincere friends apart from Will, even my parents were never sincere with me.

“When I came to Xia Nation 22 years ago and met your mother, I finally found meaning in life.

I’m blessed to have met your mother.

But I’m also very sorry for having let her down.

“I know that you are aware of some of these things, you just don’t speak of them openly.

You’re such a considerate girl, just like your mother.

I’m returning to England. I believe Xichen is able to take good care of you.

I am well as this letter conveys, and I hope you will always be too.

From Nico who loves you.

After reading the entire letter, Li Beinian’s eyes started to sting.

Noticing her bloodshot eyes, Mu Xichen folded the letter and slipped it back into the red packet with the check.

Li Beinian snuggled into his arms and whispered, “Ah Chen.”

“Uh huh.”

However, after calling out his name, Li Beinian did not say anything else.

Mu Xichen held her gently and said unhurriedly, “Just say what’s on your mind.”

“I know Nico is my biological father.”

“Uh huh.”

“But I don’t wish to acknowledge him.”

“And the reason?”

“He’ll get you killed.” Li Beinian looked up at Mu Xichen with teary eyes. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, “I’ve dreamed of it many times. Lin Ya wants to kill me and steal my right of inheritance in the Rothschild family.”

Having said that, she mumbled, “It’s no wonder that Lin Ya has been coveting it for so long. That man actually struck out with five billion pounds like it was the most casual thing in the world. The power of the Rothschild family far exceeds my expectations.”

“Lin Ya and I have been at odds for a long time now.” Mu Xichen’s voice was faint. “Even without Nico, we’d still be at odds.”

Li Beinian was slightly taken aback. “But why? Isn’t Lin Ya already the mayor?”

“Because I’m in his way, and he’s my eyesore.” Mu Xichen lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye. “He’s on good terms with Mu Donglin, but they’re not equal. He thinks he can control everything. He’s selfish and arrogant. In the past six months, he’s been getting from bad to worse.”

“So…”

“Soon.” Mu Xichen’s voice was soft and his eyes were like murky waters. “Thanks to your reminder the last time, I’ve managed to get hold of a few more pieces of evidence against him. Once I get another chance I will be able to take him down.”

Li Beinian leaned on his shoulder and couldn’t help but ask, “How confident are you?”

“Now, 70%.” Mu Xichen lowered his eyes and looked at her. “But this is not the time. We’re still lacking an opportunity.”
