“I’m old, and her father doesn’t care about anything. Zixuan is the future of the Mu family, and Xiao Huan has to have the most powerful backing we could provide. If he becomes better off, Xiao Huan will also be better off, and she’ll have more confidence in her status.”
After Matriarch Mu said this, Mu Huan couldn’t help but retort, “Grandma, do you think this is still the ancient times? Do I need Mu Zixuan? Please don’t say such foolish things, alright?!”
Even if she had a younger brother now, she would only want to help her family if they had a good relationship. Mu Huan’s relationship with the Mu family was not good, so what was she thinking?! She wanted 10% of the shares! She really dared to want it!
“Haven’t you always wanted to know what special relationship I have with Junyan’s father is?” Matriarch Mu looked at Mu Huan.
Mu Huan narrowed her eyes and did not speak.
Matriarch Mu did not keep her in suspense and said directly, “I once saved Junyan’s father’s life. He gave me this and asked me to look for him with this in the future. He will agree to anything that he can do. As long as he can do it, with this life-saving favor and the fact that my granddaughter is going to marry his son, if I ask him for 15% of the shares when we meet, do you think he can reject me? No! I also want the two families to be on good terms with each other in the future. That’s why I’m willing to lower my share by 5% and only have 10%.”
Matriarch Mu had a look on her face that said, I could have asked for more, but for the sake of the long-term friendship between the two families, I’m already giving you face. Let’s discuss this beforehand. If 10% is fine, we’ll happily talk about other things when the two families meet. If you don’t agree, then when the two sides meet, I’ll call in the favor from Bo Junyan’s father. This way, not only will I get more, but Bo Junyan’s parents will also dislike you because of the Mu family’s greed.
At that time, the gains would not make up for the losses!
“…!!” Matriarch Mu kept opening Mu Huan’s eyes about moral values.
However, did her grandma save Bo Junyan’s father?
Bo Junyan’s father had even given her grandma a keepsake. He had promised that he would do whatever she asked, no matter what it was? If there was such a favor, why didn’t her grandma use it earlier? Also, why didn’t she know before that Bo Junyan’s father was the person she had saved? Why didn’t she know that this relationship would allow the Mu family’s daughter to marry into the Bo family?
As though he had seen through Mu Huan’s doubts, Bo Junyan whispered into her ear, “When he was saved that year, it wasn’t convenient for him to reveal his identity, so he didn’t tell your grandma who he was. Later on, because of his brain injury, he forgot many things and even forgot about being saved.
“It was only when my parents were searching for all the wealthy families in Yun Cheng to hold a matchmaking banquet for me that they saw a photo of your grandma on the Mu family’s information. However, he was in poor health at that time and couldn’t come back. Hence, he didn’t meet your grandma. He didn’t want this favor to affect my decision in choosing my wife. Hence, after we registered our marriage, he called your grandma and told her about what happened back then. He said that the Bo family would treat you well.
“Because of this, your grandma felt that the reason you were able to marry me was because of her kindness to Dad.”
With that, he added, “Dad only told me about this yesterday.”
Mu Huan: “…”
It was no wonder that her grandma had thought that as long as she drugged Bo Junyan and got him into a relationship with Mu Kexin, Mu Kexin could replace her. Now, she even dared to ask for such an exorbitant price!
