Chapter 208 A Person Who Is Desperate to Save Face
Elder Mu was asked by Elder Zong, "What have you prepared?"
Elder Zong glanced at him and said, "I can't tell you that. If I do, there won't be any surprises. Anyway, it's definitely not bad."
Not only me, but my family's Zongzheng Qi also prepared; he's known Song Beiyou for a long time.
After saying that, Elder Zong's eyes darted around, "Let me remind you, behind Song Beiyou is the entire Qingshui River."
Her network of connections is second to none.
There's also Duan Yao, whom no one can rival.
You've struck gold by the fact that she's a member of the Mu family.
If you don't want to lose face in front of those people, I advise you to behave more respectably.
Elder Zong has his own selfish motives. He doesn't know if the Mu family will be able to treat Song Beiyou sincerely in the future, so what he can do now is to fight for more of the Mu family's assets for her.
That's how he gradually stimulated Elder Mu.
As it turns out, the tactic of using reverse psychology works.
Old Master Mu already had a clear idea of what was going on. After thinking it over carefully, he said, "I will handle this matter well and will definitely not treat her unfairly."
Elder Zong nodded, “Then let your good son and daughter-in-law go and meet them first. Once Song Beiyou agrees, you can find a good day to hold the important ceremony of recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan.”
Old Master Mu, "What if she doesn't agree?"
I heard that Song Beiyou had a conflict with Lanfang before.
Elder Zong shrugged and spread his hands, "That's their business."
There are always more difficulties than solutions. Zong Lanfang and Mu Huaishan are her biological parents, and even though they have no other options, they still want to find their daughter.
It all boils down to the same topic of sincerity.
If you've shown enough sincerity, how could they possibly disagree?
That makes sense. Old Master Mu sighed, "Alright, I'll go back and think about it carefully."
As soon as Elder Mu left, Elder Zong became smug, "You old geezer!"
Uncle Chen poured him a cup of tea. "Sir, do you think Old Master Mu will understand what you're saying?"
Elder Zong said, "That guy's mind is full of interests. If I approached him from the perspective of his interests, how could he not understand?"
Uncle Chen asked, "Sir, how much sincerity do you think the clan association is prepared to allow Miss Beiyou to be recognized as a member of the clan?"
Old Master Zong leaned back casually on the sofa. "He's obsessed with saving face; he probably doesn't want to prepare less than me."
Furthermore, he wanted to show off in front of those old guys in Qingshuihe, which would benefit the Mu family in the future.
Uncle Chen then asked, "And what about you, sir? How much are you preparing for Miss Beiyou?"
"Hehe!" Old Zong took off his shoes, crossed his legs on the sofa, and laughed like a cunning fox. "I'm also a person who cares a lot about saving face. I'm going to secretly compete with that old Mu."
Uncle Chen, “…”
Men are young until they die.
Then it seems the old man from the Mu family will lose.
...
In the dead of night, Mu Niannian drove alone to an abandoned factory.
As soon as she got out of the car, a man with a scar came to pick her up.
Mu Niannian got out of the car cautiously, carrying a black leather bag in her hand.
The scarred man looked her up and down. "Where's the money?"
Mu Niannian was a little scared of the fierce-looking man in front of her, so she quickly handed him the bag in her hand, saying, "One million, it's all inside."
The scarred man opened the bag and carefully inspected its contents. "Come with me."
A moment later, she was led into the abandoned factory in front of her.
Even though it's late at night and quiet, the factory is brightly lit, and as soon as you enter, you can smell an extremely pungent odor.
Mu Niannian mustered her courage and followed behind the scarred man.
After walking a short distance, she was led to the office inside the factory.
The scarred man said, "Brother Xiong, the people are here."
There was a fat guy sitting in the office, the kind with a huge belly. When he saw Mu Niannian come in, his eyes immediately roamed over her. "Oh."
Mu Niannian felt flustered under his gaze. "You're Xiong Ge?"
Xiong Ge looked at her and smiled, "Beautiful lady, what brings you here today?"
Mu Niannian was very direct, "Help me kill someone."
As she said this, Mu Niannian's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
Xiong Ge exclaimed, "Oh, this young lady is quite ruthless despite her young age."
Mu Niannian sneered, "What? You can't do it? You've already taken a million from me and you still can't do it."
Xiong Ge laughed again, a wild laugh, and made an outrageous demand, "That depends on who you want to kill. If it's some big shot, I really can't do 100 million."
With a cold expression, Mu Niannian took a photo out of her bag and threw it at Xiong Ge, "Her!"
Since Song Beiyou is blocking her way, she might as well kill him!
In the end, the Mu family and the Zong family will all belong to her; Song Beiyou must die!
Xiong Ge casually picked up the photo that had been thrown at him.
When the photo was turned over and examined closely, her eyes lit up. "Wow, she's a stunning beauty!"
Mu Niannian really hated hearing such praise for Song Beiyou. "Should I accept or not?"
Xiong Ge's eyes gleamed with greed. "We have to take this! This beauty is doomed."
Mu Niannian looked at him and said, "Fine, you have to kill him, the sooner the better. I'll give you another million after it's done."
Two million for a life that could steal her wonderful life—it's worth it!
Xiong was pleasantly surprised; he liked people who were generous like this. "No problem," he said.
After Mu Niannian left, Xiong Ge continued to look at the person in the photo, saying, "It's such a pity he died."
Then, with a cunning smile, when the scarred man returned after dropping Mu Niannian off, he said, "Capture her alive, but don't kill her immediately."
It would be a shame not to have a go with such a beautiful woman.
...
At that time, a netizen's comment that Song Beiyou might not be the Mu family's biological daughter was confirmed, and the circle of wealthy families was once again in an uproar.
The incident began when Mu Huaishan couldn't help but share his joy with everyone, so he publicly stated to reporters at an economic forum that Mu Niannian was not a child of the Mu family, but Song Beiyou was.
As soon as the interview was released, netizens started discussing this recent gossip about a wealthy family again.
[I knew it! The Mu family must have made a mistake with the Song family back then; they raised each other's children.]
[Upstairs, I agree with the first half of your sentence, but what the heck is the second half?]
The Song family is raising a monster child. They didn't raise Song Beiyou at all; they just left him in a mental hospital all those years.
[Yes, yes, yes! In our relationships, one was living a life of luxury, while the other was met with indifference and abandonment.]
[Song Beiyou is truly pitiful. I hope the Mu family will treat my internet fairy well.]
[Same as the person upstairs, I really like Song Beiyou's looks.]
Song Beiyou, who was taken on vacation by Duan Yao, hasn't checked her phone for the past two days. She's trying to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and spends her time with her boyfriend as she pleases.
When they returned to the capital, they learned that their true identity had already been exposed.
He laughed it off and didn't bother with it further.
Today is Monday. I picked up my schoolbag and left home to go to Imperial University.
When they arrived at the classroom, they found two uninvited guests: Mu Huaishan and Zong Lanfang.
