“Alright, you can hide today, but you can’t hide tomorrow. The money from the Medical Organization is transferred from the boss’s account, not yours. The boss said she already has a new project. When it succeeds in the future, we can sit in the base and count money. So don’t worry!”
Yanyu reassured Yan Qing in a very magnanimous manner. After all, she believed everything Wen Xin said. Their boss was omnipotent.
With a solemn face, Mu Chengxi walked into the old madam’s courtyard from outside and went straight into the old madam’s living room, completely ignoring whether the tightly closed door welcomed his entry.
“How dare you? Who let you in…” Mu Jinsong was startled by the sudden opening of the door. He looked in the direction of the door, wanting to see who was so bold as to come in without announcing themselves.
When the people in the room saw Mu Chengxi, their faces changed instantly, showing an indescribably ugly expression.
“You… How come you’re back?”
The first to react was Mu Jinrou. She looked at Mu Chengxi with horror.
Since the day she drugged the old madam, Mu Chengxi had actually sent her to the police station. If it weren’t for the old madam sending someone to pick her up, this matter would have been reported to the authorities.
What’s wrong? Aunt can come, but I can’t?” Mu Chengxi’s eyes were slightly cold. He swept a cold glance at the people around him and lazily sat down on the chair beside the old lady.
“I heard that that both uncles and aunts want to see Grandpa’s will? Actually, Grandpa’s will isn’t in Grandma’s hands, but in mine. Do you want to see it? I can contact Chen Lingxiao and have him bring Grandpa’s will over. Are you sure you want to split the family according to Grandpa’s will?”
Mu Chengxi’s eyes lowered, not looking at the people sitting across from him, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.
“Who are you? How could your grandfather give you his last will and testament?” Mu Jinsong was completely caught off guard. He never expected his father to do such a thing, especially since the will should have been in his wife’s hands, shouldn’t it?
“Why? Surprised? Maybe Grandpa thought that if he left the will in Grandma’s hands, today’s situation would happen, where you would find an opportunity to make things difficult for Grandma…”
“First Uncle, Second Uncle, since we are all members of the Mu family, I naturally won’t swallow your share of the assets. If you want to split the family now, you can, but you have to promise me that after the split, the affairs of the Mu family have nothing to do with you.”
Mu Chengxi wouldn’t let them enjoy the power of the Mu family while using the Mu family’s connections to do as they pleased. If they want to split with the family, the Mu family would sever ties with them.
“You… Mu Chengxi…”
Thinking of Mu Chengxi’s current status as the head of the Mu family, Mu Jinsong’s chest was filled with anger, but he didn’t dare to vent it out. He knew what kind of person Mu Chengxi was, capable of doing anything.
“Mu Chengxi, don’t go too far…”
“I can also be reasonable, but what’s the meaning of your constant pressure? When Grandma was in charge, you forced her to hand over the position of family head. Now that you know the family head position was given to me by Grandpa before he passed away, you’re forcing Grandma to split the family. What do you expect me to do?”
Mu Chengxi’s tone was calm, but to the ears of those present, it seemed to carry a hint of warning. They weren’t sure if they had misheard something.
“In the future, if you have any issues, you can directly come to me. There’s no need to quarrel with my grandmother here. If there’s a next time, don’t talk about splitting the family. I can make sure you leave with nothing.”
Mu Chengxi’s voice suddenly lowered, and the deep, hoarse tone created an indescribable sense of oppression in the ears of those present.
“You… Mu Chengxi… Let’s go!” Mu Jinsong realized that he couldn’t gain any benefits in front of Mu Chengxi. He snorted coldly at Mu Chengxi and then beckoned to the people who came with him to leave.
However, Mu Jinrou and Mu Jingang, who were sitting still, didn’t move at all.
“Seventh Brother, we know that you grew up being favored by your grandparents. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have such a status as the Crown Prince of Beijing. Aunt is already married, and my visit this time isn’t about dividing the family’s assets. I just came to see my mother. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your grandmother.”
Mu Jinrou tried to please Mu Chengxi with as kind words as possible. She had already seen the situation clearly. With just the few of them, they couldn’t affect Mu Chengxi’s position at all. The Mu family was already firmly in his hands.
“Big Brother, Second Brother, you are Chengxi’s uncles. Chengxi wouldn’t treat you unfairly. We are all family, and only by living in harmony can we have good development.”
Mu Jinrou began to act as a peacemaker. Although she also felt aggrieved, since Mu Chengxi took over as the family head, her dividends had decreased significantly. However, she still had to rely on these dividends to live. Compromise was the only option.
Seeing her daughter speaking kindly, and her two sons remaining silent, the astute old madam placed the teacup heavily on the coffee table.
“That’s enough. Do you have any other business? If not, you can leave first. I’m tired and need to rest.”
How could the shrewd old madam not know what her eldest son was thinking? He wanted to reconcile with Mu Chengxi now, but due to his status as an elder, he couldn’t bring himself to ask for reconciliation. Thus, she had to pave the way for them.
“Mom, then we’ll leave first…”
Only then did Mu Jingang slowly stand up. Before leaving, he cast a resentful glance at Mu Chengxi. When he looked at Mu Chengxi again, his eyes were filled with undisguised anger.
After Mu Jingang and Mu Jinsong left, the old madam looked at Mu Jinrou, who was sitting on the chair, cracking sunflower seeds, with a slightly furrowed brow, and spoke in a cold and distant tone, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
“Mom, I just arrived, and you’re already urging me to leave. I have good news to tell Chengxi. Chengxi, do you remember the girl from the Jiang family? You used to like her when you were young. She’s back from overseas now. Yiheng met her at Tianxiang Pavilion yesterday. Isn’t this a perfect opportunity for you? She’s much better than that wild girl who thinks too highly of herself!”
Most of the Mu family members knew about Wen Xin’s identity and thought of her as just a wild girl from the countryside who wasn’t worthy of the distinguished Brown Prince of Beijing. Now that the young lady of the Jiang family had returned, it seemed like a better match for Mu Chengxi…
Upon hearing Mu Jinrou’s words, Mu Chengxi, who had been playing with a lighter in his hand with his eyes lowered, suddenly looked up, his gaze even more frightening than before.
“Aunt, can you repeat what you just said…”
Mu Chengxi’s black, bright, and deep eyes were now terrifyingly dark. Old Madam Mu, looking at such a scene, couldn’t help but close her eyes. Her stupid daughter dared to say anything..
