"Why would Mu Xichen help you?" Li Meng sneered. "This man remembers how you almost killed Li Beinian. You might not know this, but some time ago, he came to me, asking if I'd testify against you for the murder attempt on Li Beinian."
Lin Kerou's face turned pale, but she regained her composure very quickly. She said firmly, "It's all in the past now. If Mu Xichen and Li Beinian bear a grudge against me still, it's alright. There will be ample opportunities for them to get back at me. But now, I wish to collaborate with Mu Xichen on an urgent matter. Meng Meng, I know I had let you down in the past. I had done many foolish things in the past, but I've turned over a new leaf now. I just want to spend the rest of my days doing a good job of bringing up Brother Donglin's only child. Meng Meng, I've let you down. I have no other way out. I want to make it up to you before it's too late."
"Make it up to me?"
