Everyone could feel the oppressive atmosphere at this moment; it was so tense that no one dared to breathe loudly.
For a while, no one spoke.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Xu Mushen, and even though it was only a few seconds, it felt to her as though a lifetime had passed.
So long that, when Xu Mushen finally spoke, she was somewhat taken aback.
He began indifferently, with a detached and cold tone, "Miss Xu, can we resolve this matter privately?"
To settle this privately...
That was the outcome she had hoped to see.
But when Xu Mushen said it in that tone...
Xu Qiaoqiao bit her lip, feeling an inexplicable sadness.
Just then, Liu Yingxue burst out, "Mushen, what did you say? Settle what privately? The person lying on the hospital bed, who almost died, is your father! Your own biological father! Why are you treating him this way? Do you have no humanity at all?"
