Chapter 287: Chapter 285 Humanity is Greedy_1

Bai Yudie’s words silenced both the Mu patriarch and Mu’s mother, while the little girl Shanshan immediately pouted unhappily upon hearing her speak.

Then she crisply said to her, "But Daddy doesn’t like you, and Daddy and Mommy already have me, so he definitely won’t marry you~~"

In fact, what Shanshan said was exactly what the Mu patriarch and Mu’s mother were thinking, but they couldn’t explicitly express that to Bai Yudie.

Even though her matter with Mu Yingchen was promised by the Mu patriarch, as for repaying the Bai Family’s kindness, they had more than repaid their debt over the years.

Supporting the Bai Family from an ordinary one to a well-known public company in the business world was enough repayment; they should have been content long ago.

Yet people are greedy, after gaining a little, they want even more.

They clung to the patriarch’s original promise, without considering whether they could really afford it or not.

Bai Yudie’s grandfather worked for the Mu patriarch and voluntarily shielded him with his own body, resulting in his death after unsuccessful medical interventions.

If they followed the normal legal process, the Bai Family would have received next to nothing, just some financial compensation.

It was because the Mu patriarch cherished loyalty and treated her grandfather as a brother that he made various promises.

Otherwise, the Bai Family would never have seen its current glory.

And Shanshan’s words deepened the resentment in Bai Yudie’s heart; looking at the child of those two people before her felt incredibly irritating.

A crazy thought suddenly sprung up in her mind; she wanted to destroy, to destroy the child belonging to those two.

If it were not for this child’s appearance, the Mu patriarch and Mu’s mother would not have agreed to Su Wanxia marrying into the Mu Family.

The one marrying into the Mu Family should have been her, her—Bai Yudie!

It was all her! All because of her!

Shanshan couldn’t help but feel that the woman’s gaze across from her was very sinister, making her little heart skip a beat, but then she thought with her grandmother and great-grandfather there, they wouldn’t let her come to harm.

So, with pouty lips, she tilted her delicate little chin proudly towards her.

Bai Yudie’s gaze grew even more somber.

"Yudie... we have wronged you, and I have already spoken with your mother over the phone, you go back and discuss with them, any compensation you wish for--"

Bai Yudie couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, compensation?

Trading her happiness for their compensation, how ridiculous!

But now that things had reached this point, she had no room to argue.

At that moment, the hatred buried deep within her heart.

"I understand..." she uttered heavily, her slender hands hidden in her sleeves pricked with blood droplets from her long nails.

Upon hearing her response, the Mu patriarch and Mu’s mother immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she agreed, they could provide whatever compensation she wanted!

Bai Yudie took a deep breath, then stood up from the sofa.

Without saying another word, she walked gracefully to the door

The Mu patriarch and Mu’s mother both stood up from the sofa and watched her frail figure, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Changes can’t be planned as quickly as one hopes, and marriage cannot be forced.

Bai Yudie arrived at the door, suddenly turned around, and stared intently at Shanshan next to the Mu patriarch; then she slightly curled up the corners of her lips and chuckled softly, "The child is quite adorable..."

Before the Mu patriarch and Mu’s mother could say anything, she had already turned and left.

And Shanshan couldn’t help but feel uneasy; she always thought that woman’s gaze was strange.

"Grandma, where is she going back to?"

Mu’s mother looked down at her and smiled softly, "Back to her own home..."

"Isn’t her home here?"

"Her family is all in the United States..."

"Oh..."

Shanshan nodded in understanding; so, that woman’s home wasn’t here. It was in the United States.

"Lanzhi, don’t you think something’s off with Yudie?" Mu Yingchen’s intuition was incredibly sharp, and he felt uneasy about the way Bai Yudie had looked back before she left.

"Dad, she loves Yingchen so much and has always dreamed of marrying into our Mu Family. Now that her wedding is falling apart, if it were me, I would be very sad and disappointed."

Mu’s mother simply thought that Bai Yudie was too heartbroken and didn’t think beyond that.

Mu Yingchen’s grandfather frowned, nodded, and hoped he was just overthinking it.

"Grandma, when will Daddy and Mommy come back?" Shanshan asked, tilting her little head up to Mu’s mother.

She hadn’t seen her daddy and mommy for several days now and missed them terribly.

Mu’s mother patted her little head; those two were preoccupied with each other right now and didn’t have time for the little one.

But she didn’t dare tell that to Shanshan.

"Your daddy has been very busy at the company these past two days, and your mommy has to take care of him. Give them another couple of days, and they’ll be back to see you."

"Okay, fine..."

After hearing Mu’s mother’s words, Shanshan could only nod her head.

After having lunch at home with her mother and father, Su Wanxia made a phone call to Su Ran.

"Ran, where are you?"

A lazy voice came from the phone, "At your bestie’s house."

"You’ve got to be kidding."

"What’s up?"

"Where--where’s Manhui?" Su Wanxia’s mind couldn’t help but wander.

"She’s gone to work..."

"Then what are you doing at her house?" Su Wanxia didn’t understand; if the person had gone to work, what was he doing lingering in their home? Chasing someone should be done with at least a little pride, right?

"I’m waiting for her to come back and cook for me..."

At Su Ran’s words, Su Wanxia couldn’t help but curl the corner of her mouth. Oh my, she hadn’t realized before what an odd guy he was; he sure had hidden it well!

Imagining Jian Manhui’s frantic expression, Su Wanxia couldn’t help but laugh silently to herself. He’s almost thirty; it’s about time to sell himself out.

"Alright, then keep waiting for her to come back. By the way, Grandfather might come in a few days, so find someone to welcome him."

"Stepfather? What’s he doing coming here?" The last place Su’s grandfather wanted to visit was probably C City, with its many unpleasant memories.

Su Wanxia laughed dryly a couple of times, and then said somewhat sheepishly, "Well--because Mu Yingchen and I are planning to get married--"

"Married?" Su Ran sounded a bit surprised, but not extremely so; it seemed their marriage was within his expectations.

"Yeah... so Grandfather said he wants to wait until he gets here."

"Okay, I’ll call him back later."

"Yeah."

After hanging up, Su Ran found himself nodding.

Mu Yingchen wasn’t bad at all; it hadn’t been long, and he was already planning to marry his Wanxia.

When he had taken Su Wanxia to Canada, he knew just how deeply Wanxia loved Mu Yingchen; so, them getting married wasn’t a surprise to him.

He rubbed his head; he needed to hurry up too, or else Mu Yingchen would mock him again!
