Chapter 398: Chapter 399 Better Not to Come at All_1 Chapter 398: Chapter 399 Better Not to Come at All_1 As soon as the Qian father and son entered, Mr. Qian directly shouted at Qian Yuan, “Unfilial son, won’t you hurry and pay your respects to Lady Yu!”

Qian Yuan, seeing Muniang in such high spirits, felt a surge of anger, but he didn’t dare to go against his father and could only try to appease, “Lady Yu, it was my fault for offending you without intention yesterday. Today, I have come personally to admit my fault, and I hope you, Lady, can be magnanimous and not remember the offenses of us lesser folks…”

“Oh, isn’t this a rarity? Didn’t Mr. Qian say just yesterday that he wouldn’t let me off and would make sure I regretted it? I’ve been on tenterhooks all day today, afraid that Mr. Qian would come to cause me trouble,” Muniang said lightly, laughing, but with a sarcastic tone.

Qian Yuan’s face turned blue. Could this woman be any more shameless? She’s so happy she can hardly contain herself! Yesterday, one incident after another occurred to the Qian Family’s businesses, and my father was frantic, until a man in black left a note warning that if there was a next time, all of the Qian Family’s industries would be finished.

Immediately, my grandfather interrogated him on who exactly he had provoked outside, and Qian Yuan could only then reveal the incident he had caused at Mei Garden, which resulted in a beating.

First thing this morning, he was dragged here by his father, and inside, Qian Yuan felt extremely wronged.

But he still had to force himself to speak pleasurably, “How could I dare? That… was just a casual joke I made, why must Lady Yu take such small words to heart? I am here specially today to apologize, and I beseech your mercy.”

Muniang replied directly, “The person you should be asking isn’t me, but Guo Yuehua.”

No sooner had Muniang finished speaking than Guo Yuehua entered the room. When she saw Qian Yuan, there was a trace of fear in her eyes, but upon finding reassurance in Muniang’s comforting gaze, she relaxed a bit and sat down beside Muniang.

Qian Yuan immediately widened his eyes, “What? I should beg this lowly actress? It was her fortune that I fancied her, what is she! ”

After all, Qian Yuan was a son of a prestigious family. It was already a dent in his pride to come here and ask Muniang for forgiveness, and yet, to have him ask an actress for forgiveness in front of all these servants – it was unbearable!

Muniang’s eyes also cooled, “It seems Mr. Qian has not yet learned his lesson.”

Mr. Qian’s complexion changed drastically at once. If they couldn’t appease this woman, and if they lost the other half of their property, it would be the end. In his panic, Mr. Qian kicked Qian Yuan in the calf, and with a “thud,” Qian Yuan fell to his knees.

“You ungrateful son! Won’t you hurry up and apologize to Lady Guo? If it weren’t for your distasteful words offending Lady Guo that day, how could we be in this situation today?!” Mr. Qian shouted sternly.

Qian Yuan, with gritted teeth, could only say, “Please, Lady Guo, forgive me this once. That day, indeed, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spoken to you disrespectfully, nor should I have insulted you. It was all my fault.”

Guo Yuehua paused slightly, looked at Muniang, and seeing her wink at her, Guo Yuehua then realized that Qian Yuan must have fallen into Muniang’s hands. Clearing her throat, she said, “Since that’s the case, then I ask Mr. Qian to not harass me in the future.”

Qian Yuan hastened to reply, “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. If I encounter Lady Guo again, I will take a detour. How could I dare to act disrespectfully towards Lady Guo again?”

Guo Yuehua snorted softly, feeling a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Muniang then said, “Mr. Qian’s apology seems quite sincere, so I will reluctantly accept it.”

Qian Yuan and his father quickly breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been spared, nodding repeatedly, then looked at Muniang expectantly.

“Haven’t you left yet, or are you expecting me to offer you a meal?” Muniang raised an eyebrow.

Mr. Qian tentatively mentioned, “Our Qian Family’s property was taken over by half yesterday, and now that this matter has been resolved, I was thinking if perhaps we could also…”

Muniang sneered inwardly, truly believing she was a living Bodhisattva, thinking a few sweet words could make her forget everything that had happened?

Muniang feigned ignorance, “What property? If half of Mr. Qian’s family’s property was taken, it certainly wasn’t by me. Why would Mr. Qian need to come to me then?”

Mr. Qian’s cheeks seemed to twitch as if slapped, his twisted smile saying, “Lady, don’t joke with me.”

“If Mr. Qian thinks I’m joking, then simply go to the government and file a complaint, let the County Chief investigate and clear up exactly what happened. Why dump this mess onto me?” Muniang retorted angrily.

Mr. Qian clenched his teeth in secret. This cunning fox, if the government could find out wouldn’t he be asking her for help? He’s already pleaded, and apologized, yet now this woman refuses to admit any guilt!

“Don’t push your luck. You really think I, Qian Yuan, am easy to deal with? I’m telling you, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll immediately return our family’s property. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!” Qian Yuan was clearly less patient than his father, getting riled up immediately.

At this moment, Mr. Qian didn’t stop Qian Yuan, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness, as if he wished he could devour someone.

When provoked, their true nature was exposed in an instant; such people could never truly repent, not unless the sun started rising from the west!

Muniang remained unflustered, her tone much cooler, “Mr. Qian, since you know exactly who took your property, you should also know how you ought to behave towards me now. Some harsh words may feel satisfying to say at the moment, but they can lead to widespread consequences.”

Muniang slowed her speech, leisurely saying, “For example, the remaining half of the Qian family’s property.”

Mr. Qian’s complexion dramatically changed; Qiao Muniang’s words were an overt threat.

“Is Mr. Qian not planning to leave yet? My patience is not good.”

Only then did Mr. Qian leave with a dark face, dragging Qian Yuan behind him. Qiao Muniang’s stance was clear: either they keep half, or they get nothing at all.

If they had known it would come to this, they might as well have not sought her at all! Such a waste of dignity!

As soon as they left Mei Garden, Qian Yuan complained angrily, “Father, why do we have to be so afraid of Qiao Muniang? What is she even worth?”

Mr. Qian gave him an exasperated look, “You good-for-nothing. It’s not important what Qiao Muniang is, what matters is who is standing behind her, supporting her. Do you think the Qian family’s property is so easily taken by just anyone? And to do so without making a sound, Qiao Muniang is someone we simply can’t afford to provoke!”

“So we’re just going to let it go like this?” Qian Yuan couldn’t help feeling resentful. The properties would one day be his, and naturally, it pained him.

“Who caused all of this in the first place?!” Mr. Qian shouted furiously.

Qian Yuan shrank back, “Father, father, I was wrong, okay? How could I have known she had such great capabilities?”

“Mei Garden was previously Mrs. Luo’s territory. Even with Mrs. Luo fallen, it was unthinkable for someone with no background to take over the place. You can’t even understand such simple logic. How did I raise such a disgraceful son!”
