novelMu Huan's Threat III
| ← Ch.1197 | Ch.1199 → |
Chen Qingyan's mother was like that. Chen Qingyan was like that. Now, even Mu Huan was like this!
It was true what the saying says; like mother, like daughter.
Mu Huan sneered at Old Master Mu."You old thing, you have no right to open your mouth in this place!"
If it were not because of this old thing, her mother would not have had such a pitiful life. A thousand cuts at these Mu family's people were not sufficient to vent her anger!
Old Master Mu shook his sleeves and stood upright with his back ramrod straight. His calm tone carried unruffled confidence.
"I am the head of the Mu family! I have the right to decide on any matters regarding the Mu family!"
"Hehe..." Mu Huan sneered without care."The Qin family's people are about to arrive. You want to defend Suyi. Have you ever thought about how the other members of the Mu family feel? This is the end of you being the Mu family's head!"
As predicted, the weak-minded uncles of the Mu family had ugly expressions on their faces.
To them, sacrificing Suyi alone to keep the whole Mu family was too good of a deal!
Only the head of the family would be so stubborn as to keep her alive!
"Master, Nan Suyi is no longer a member of our Mu family. We can let it go that you decided not to abandon Gu Shi, but to abandon the whole Mu family for an outsider. Is it worth it?"
"Currently Young Lady Mu Huan has this kind of capability. We need to agree to any of Young Lady Mu Huan's conditions! Now, it is only her who is able to protect our Mu family!"
"Master, what are you still thinking about? Later on, we will hold back Old Master. You go and settle Nan Suyi. As long as the Mu family is protected, is there any kind of woman you would not able to have? If we lose the Mu family, there would be nothing left!"
***
Mu Huan's brows were covered in delight. So what even if these people had previously accepted Suyi? With just a few words from her, was she not able to get rid of Suyi?
This was the advantage of having power.
For the first time, she was a little grateful that her mother had given her away to Jia Xin. Otherwise, she would not have had such undefeatable power. Furthermore, these snobs would not have so easily agreed and bow to her.
Furthermore, she had the power to decide on Suyi's life and death!
A man like Mu Ling who was so afraid of death and so greedy for power would definitely not abandon the Mu family for a woman!
Too bad, sometimes, one could not have too many self-righteous thoughts.
Mu Ling was indeed heartless and a flirt, but over these twenty plus years, he only had Suyi and Chen Qingyan.
Tan Shuangshuang was an exception! She was not what he had wanted.
He was similarly greedy for power.
However, his greed for power was only limited to letting his sons and daughters marry for alliances and betraying their happiness. Nevertheless, he would never give up his own happiness.
After all, the two women he had were orphans without any background. With Mu Ling's status and cultivation, creating marital alliances with other big families was considered normal.
If Chen Qingyan did not exist in this life... Perhaps, Mu Ling would not have become a scum!
However, this was destiny. He was destined to be unworthy of having Suyi!
"Huan'er..." Mu Ling's tone became softer as his eyes begged."I am willing to forgive all that Qingyan had done. I will make her my official wife. I am only begging you... to save the Mu family."
Thud!
His knees fell hard to the ground as he kneeled on the floor in the silent Mu family's courtyard.
To him, 'official wife' was merely a title.
Not to mention he could no longer be humane toward her, even if he could, just based on the things Chen Qingyan had done, he could not forgive her.
