Chapter 335: Destroying the Stuff (3)
Matriarch Mu tightened her grip around the cup she was holding.
Mu Huan did not speak further. She turned around and walked toward the door.
“Wait!” Matriarch Mu shouted.
Mu Huan turned around.
“Xiao Huan, Grandma hopes that you will keep your word and wholeheartedly help Zixuan and treat the Mu family kindly.” The matter happened so many years ago and she thought it had left no trace, but Mu Huan had actually found out. Indeed, there were no absolutes in the world! It was really impossible to guard against exceptions!
And if something exceptional did really happen and these things fell into someone else’s hands, it could possibly destroy the Mu family!
Matriarch Mu would never have thought that the things that she had used to control Mu Huan in the past would now become the greatest threat to the Mu family.
“I’ve said so much but Grandma would not believe me, so it’s useless for me to try to assure you of anything.”
Matriarch Mu looked at her and pondered for a while. Then she said, “I believe you, and I hope that you won’t let Grandma down. Otherwise, even without all these things, I can ruin your position as Madam Bao too. Grandma can find allies too!”
Now, she had no choice but to trust this granddaughter of hers.
“I know, Grandma, don’t worry. From now on, I will put all my effort into doing everything for the Mu family.”
Matriarch Mu did not speak further but took Mu Huan along to retrieve the things.
Indeed, she had hidden the things in a location that was so secretive that no one would have thought about it. It was really no wonder she was confident that no one would find them.
Mu Huan saw with her own eyes as her grandma destroyed the things. She made sure there were no other backup copies before she left the Mu family residence.
Just as she came up to the door, Mu Zixuan caught up with her.
“Sister, I know that the things my mom and sister had done to you in the past are unforgivable. But I will work hard to make it up to you, and I will become your greatest backing forever!” Mu Zixuan was rather sincere in saying these things, for he had far greater insight than his mother and sister. He had never thought of harming Mu Huan. Even before she had married Bao Junyan, he had never done it.
This wasn’t because he was a kind person. It was just that he never felt he needed to condescend to do something like that. But now, he knew that to get to an even higher position, the way to do it was not by stepping on Mu Huan but to rely on her.
He wanted their relationship to be a mutually-beneficial one.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely help you where necessary.” Mu Huan was sincere in saying this too. It didn’t matter what his motives for helping her were. The fact was that he was of practical value to her. Hence, she would definitely swing him any advantages that she could.
Mu Zixuan looked at her and knew that she was sincere. He ceased worrying and, after a while, said, “Sister, if only you were really my own sister.”
If she were his own sister, then his journey to success would be so much smoother and faster.
“I don’t have the slightest desire to have a brother like you.” After Mu Huan spoke, she turned and walked away.
At Yun University…
“Come, your big sister here will treat you to lunch this afternoon!” Mu Huan said as she put her arms around Li Meng’s shoulders.
“You’ve succeeded?”
“That’s right!”
“That’s great!” Li Meng hugged her excitedly.
This meant that her Xiao Huan could be with God Bao freely from now on!
Now that the burden that she had been carrying was finally gone, Mu Huan’s eyes were dancing as she asked, “What sort of feast would you like?”
“Can we go to Dragon Court for a full banquet?” Li Meng didn’t bother to be modest.
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s ask Xingye to come along. Otherwise, he’d be unhappy!” Li Meng said.
“Of course he has to be invited!” If good food was involved and they didn’t invite him, he’d be angry with them for at least a month.
Just as Mu Huan was happily heading off to a good meal with her arm around Li Meng…
Huo Yuqi stepped right into their path.
“You two aren’t going anywhere!”
