The doorbell rang . Mu Zhenyang and Bai Suqing were brought in by the maids .

Bai Suqing measured the Zhou house in her mind . She considered it alright, but it definitely couldn’t compare to the Ou Family .
“Mr . Mu, welcome . This is?” Hua Fang, suited in black, came to greet Mu Zhenyang .
“Haha . Madam Zhou, this is my daughter Qing Qing . Bai Suqing,” Mu Zhenyang introduced her proudly . The reason he brought her along was to let her network .
Bai Suqing smiled sweetly . “Hello, Uncle and Aunt Zhou . ”
“Good, good . This child is so polite, but her surname is Bai?” Hua Fang briefly scanned her up and down .
Bai Suqing’s expression became awkward . Translated by The Novelst
Mu Zhenyang’s expression was also stiff for a brief moment, but he laughed it off and said, “I’ll be adopting her in the future . ”

The topic came to an end there, since they didn’t care to discuss someone else’s family business .
“Well, here’s the thing . The reason we invited you was to discuss something with you, but…” Hua Fang glanced at Bai Suqing .
Mu Zhenyang was taken aback . He thought they had something important to discuss with him and felt extremely proud, since people usually sought Ke Wanqing out for important matters but not Mu Zhenyang . But now they were asking after him!
He glanced at Bai Suqing . Just as he expected, he saw a light shining worshipfully in her eyes as she looked at him . His vanity was thus gratified and he looked at Hua Fang and Mayor Zhou, saying, “Don’t worry . There’s nothing that can’t be said in front of Qing Qing . She’s a good girl and very obedient . You can speak freely . ”
Hua Fang and Mayor Zhou glanced at one another . “So it’s like that . Then regarding the case of the kidnapping by Jin Biaohu, we would like to apologize sincerely to Mr . Mu .
“Our daughter Yaya had some disagreements with your daughter in school . She was too young and immature and actually attempted to work with Jin Biaohu to pull a prank on your daughter . In the end she caused your daughter to be in danger, and we would like to apologize for that . ” Hua Fang stood and bowed deeply to Mu Zhenyang .
Mu Zhenyang and Bai Suqing were both surprised . They didn’t even know that Jin Biaohu had assistance, let alone that it was Zhou Yaya!
Without giving Mu Zhenyang enough time to digest the information, Mayor Zhou sighed, “It’s our fault for not teaching our daughter well, causing Lan Lan to suffer that kind of hardship . We’re very guilty .

“In order to express our sentiments, if Mr . Mu needs our help for anything, please feel free to ask . As long as it’s within our abilities we can help . ”
One in business and the other in politics – they were straight to the point from the start, flattering Mu Zhenyang and apologizing sincerely, then rounding off the deal with a very alluring promise . And it proved to be very effective on Mu Zhenyang .
The wheels in Bai Suqing’s mind turned quickly and she organized the matter in her head .
This meant that the couple wanted the Mu Family to back down on Mu Rulan’s case . As long as Mu Rulan didn’t sue them, they didn’t care how Jin Biaohu turned out as long as they could bring Zhou Yaya out in one piece .
Zhou Yaya… Mu Rulan…
Bai Suqing squinted, thinking of an idea . She looked at Mu Zhenyang and tearfully grabbed his hand . “Father, Yaya Tongxue is only fifteen and going to jail? That’s too pitiful, let’s not do that . Sister is perfectly fine anyway . Just now she even went out with that mister she was having lunch with . ”
The moment Bai Suqing brought this up, the fury that Mu Zhenyang had held in his heart after hearing his daughter was within an inch of dying vanished .
Did Mu Rulan act like someone who had nearly died?

Just after returning she was already making him uncomfortable, even inviting someone over to anger him . That man didn’t respect him and in the end Mu Rulan had even followed him out, making it seem like she didn’t see him as her father at all!
The more Mu Zhenyang thought about it, the more angry he became . So he waved his hands, “Don’t worry about it . She’s completely fine . There’s no need to make a big fuss over this, it’s just that the children haven’t grown yet . ”
Mayor Zhou and Hua Fang were surprised . They had prepared even more arguments to persuade him . Who would have believed Mu Zhenyang would agree so easily?
But the two were smart . They glanced at Bai Suqing, then at Mu Zhenyang .
Mayor Zhou made two cups of tea and set them down, sighing, “We were worried that this matter couldn’t be resolved easily, but it seems as though Mr . Mu is highly principled . We’re grateful for that . ”
“That’s right, if there’s anything else we can do to help, please let us know . As long as we can do so, we’ll do our best . ” As Hua Fang spoke, she looked at Bai Suqing and unclasped the emerald bracelet on her arm .
She walked towards Bai Suqing, smiling, “Auntie feels that this bracelet really suits Qing Qing . Do you want to try it on?”
Bai Suqing stretched out her hand shyly . Why would she reject such obvious fawning from Hua Fang? Maybe she would need their help in the future .
Hua Fang smiled widely, helping Bai Suqing put the bracelet on . She didn’t let her hand go once they were done, looking at Mu Zhenyang, “Mr . Mu, you’ve raised such a good daughter . You can tell with just a glance that she’s excellent . I say that she would definitely make you proud in the future . ”
“It’s too bad that my daughter is such a disappointment . She can’t even make any friends at school, which is why she caused such a ruckus yesterday . I’m so ashamed . ” Translated by The Novelst
They stroked Mu Zhenyang’s ego once more . The daughter he favored was different than Ke Wanqing wanted . This was the daughter he wanted, and she was so much better than Mu Rulan!
So the remaining time in their visit was filled with flattering phrases, the married Zhou couple stuffing a lot of valuable things in Mu Zhenyang’s direction . Even if Mu Zhenyang stepped out that door, he couldn’t change his mind because it would already be too late .
As for Ke Wanqing, he had no choice but to brace himself to go and persuade her .
