Chapter 338: Chapter 338: Asking for Favors

But why is Mu Feiyan still so angry? I’m treating her night walking disorder, doesn’t she have even a little bit of gratitude?

Wu Xiaoyu followed Mu Zhuangfei downstairs while feeling utterly confused. They sat down in the dining room and saw Jiang Yun, radiating with happiness and energy, sitting warmly, looking much gentler than usual.

Mu Zhuangfei glanced proudly at Jiang Yun and asked, “Hasn’t Qianqian gotten up yet?”

In the past, Jiang Yun would often call Mu Feiyan to go upstairs and get Li Qianqian, but today, she stood up willingly and replied with a smile, “I’ll go call her.”

This soft and charming demeanor of Jiang Yun puzzled Mu Feiyan. What’s with the sudden change? Could it also be because of the matter of having a son? That damn Wu Xiaoyu, why is he always against me?

After sitting down, Mu Zhuangfei hesitantly said to Wu Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, there’s another thing I want to ask you!”

This word ‘ask’ left Wu Xiaoyu somewhat flattered. He hadn’t even used this word when asking for treatment for Sheng Xu or infertility. What could he be asking for this time?

Not knowing the matter, Wu Xiaoyu politely declined, “I’m just a farmer, I’m afraid I can’t help much!”

His attitude made Mu Feiyan both surprised and a bit proud. See? Your perfect plan has failed, hasn’t it? He doesn’t even want to help you with the infertility treatment!

“Dad, you both are getting old, stop thinking about having another child!” Mu Feiyan, feeling smug, blurted out.

Mu Zhuangfei was stunned upon hearing this. Have a child? How does she know? Could it be that she overheard the conversation last night when Wu Xiaoyu was helping with the treatment?

If so, then everything about Sheng Xu’s condition and those inappropriate words from Jiang Yun must have been heard by her as well?

Mu Zhuangfei felt immensely awkward. When did this kid learn to eavesdrop?

Now that she has discovered his embarrassing secret, his fatherly authority might be completely undermined.

“Little… little Fei, did you hear everything we talked about downstairs last night?” Mu Zhuangfei asked awkwardly and hesitantly.

Although Mu Feiyan heard about her father’s illness last night, her attention was all on their desire to have a son.

Unaware of her father’s current embarrassment, she angrily responded, “Heard it! So what? How long were you planning to keep your desire to have a son from me?”

Seeing that her concern was on having a child, Mu Zhuangfei sighed in relief, feeling slightly less awkward.

“Little Fei, listen to me. Your mother and I are indeed thinking about having another child, but rest assured, we would never favor boys over girls!” Mu Zhuangfei reassured.

Just then, Jiang Yun came downstairs with Li Qianqian, rushed over upon hearing their conversation, and smiled at Mu Feiyan:

“Little Fei, don’t you realize how much daddy and mommy care about you? Even if we have another, it won’t mean neglecting you!”

Following behind, Li Qianqian couldn’t help but laugh at these words. Her uncle and aunt, already so old, still thinking about having another child, how shameless!

Wu Xiaoyu, as an outsider, felt extremely awkward listening to the whole family discussing the topic of having children.

He coughed lightly and asked Mu Zhuangfei, “You mentioned you had something to ask me. What is it?”

His question was merely a diversion, but Mu Zhuangfei smiled excitedly, “It’s like this, my father wants to ask you to help treat Sunx Qianjin!”

Treat Sunx Qianjin? Isn’t the Sunx Family rivals with the Mu Family? Elder Mu has such a generous spirit? Truly admirable!

Mu Feiyan was stunned to hear that Grandpa wanted to ask Wu Xiaoyu to treat Sunx Qianjin. Wasn’t Dad asking Wu Xiaoyu to help with infertility? Or did he already do that last night?

“Dad, what did you say? Help the Sunx elder with his illness? Is Grandpa senile?” Mu Feiyan exclaimed in surprise.

Before Mu Zhuangfei could respond, Jiang Yun’s face turned dark as she scolded, “Little Fei, watch your language! Is that how you speak about your grandpa?”

Mu Feiyan immediately realized she had misspoken, but helping Sunx Qianjin was just too foolish!

The Sunx Family has always opposed the Mu Family, competing for important positions and being business rivals. Helping such an enemy is like harboring a tiger!

Seeing everyone in the room staring at him with strange looks, Mu Zhuangfei sighed and explained:

“While our families often compete, Elder Mu and Sunx Qianjin are war comrades. How could he sit by and do nothing?”

Li Qianqian, hearing her uncle’s words, complained: “But that Sunx Yan bullied us too!”

Jiang Yun smiled and said, “You kids having some squabbles is normal! Your grandpa and the Sunx elder have a bond forged in life and death!”

This couple was indeed quite open-minded, not letting the family feud affect their stand on Elder Mu’s decision.

Although Wu Xiaoyu had no personal grudges with the Sunx Family, Sunx Shangqiang and Qian Benben had humiliated him at Elder Mu’s birthday banquet. That’s not something easily forgotten.

Despite Sunx Shangqiang’s attempts to placate him in the mall recently, Wu Xiaoyu still hesitated to help Sunx Qianjin with his treatment.

“I don’t think I can face the Sunx Family with my limited skills,” Wu Xiaoyu said with a hint of frustration.

Mu Zhuangfei, not understanding Wu Xiaoyu’s reluctance, feared Elder Mu would blame him if Wu Xiaoyu refused and hurriedly asked:

“Xiaoyu, what’s wrong?”

Li Qianqian, noticing Wu Xiaoyu’s reluctance towards treating Sunx Qianjin, felt touched, thinking it was because of her.

He must be refusing to treat Sunx Yan’s grandfather because of her. That has to be it!

Wu Xiaoyu… if you like me, why don’t you just say so? Why act like this…

With a face glowing like a peach blossom and eyes brimming with affection, Li Qianqian stared at Wu Xiaoyu, making Mu Feiyan feel strange emotions.

“Wu Xiaoyu, are you afraid of failing to cure his illness?” Mu Feiyan suddenly taunted for no apparent reason.

Jiang Yun, thinking her daughter was using reverse psychology, didn’t scold her but playfully said, “Little Fei, what are you saying? Xiaoyu is a Divine Doctor, how could he not cure Mr. Sunx’s illness?”

Their act made Wu Xiaoyu want to roll his eyes. Their acting skills are too amateurish!

“Xiaoyu, this card has 600,000 yuan in it, as your fee for treating little Fei!” Jiang Yun took out a bank card and handed it to Wu Xiaoyu.

Before Wu Xiaoyu could refuse, she continued, “The Sunx Family’s son-in-law is in business, and it’s quite big.”

“You might not even care for this amount if you treat the Sunx Family, but this is our token of appreciation, you must accept it!”

What on Earth? Are they trying to bribe me? Looking at the card in his hand, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but feel tempted.
