Upon hearing Lu Shutong’s words, Mu Yunyuan immediately turned his head to look at Meng Tinglan, unable to suppress a flicker of suspicion in his heart.
Observing Lu Shutong’s harmless, innocent smile, Meng Tinglan panicked and denied the accusation, "Young Madam, please look clearly. I have been in the mansion focusing on my pregnancy; ever since I arrived, I have had no contact with my brother. If I had known he was planning such foolish acts, I would have been the first to stop him."
Seeing Meng Tinglan trembling with fear, Mu Yunyuan concluded it could not be an act. Furthermore, Meng Chenglong had already used Meng Tinglan to demand money from the Mu Mansion during their grandmother’s birthday banquet; yesterday’s events were surely just another of his shameless tactics to extort funds. In Meng Chenglong’s eyes, Meng Tinglan was nothing but a money tree.
