Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Easing the Relationship

Although Sunx Shangqiang offended me, I can’t just ignore the money, right? How about charging them a hefty fee?

Mu Zhuangfei saw Wu Xiaoyu staring at the bank card in his hand, lost in thought, and felt this matter might have hope. So he advised again:

“Don’t you have a farming business and a partnership in the restaurant business? The Sunx Family has someone working in the city’s Health Bureau. If you help the old man of the Sunx Family recover, it will be immensely beneficial to you!”

The Health Bureau? If I want to build Jiji into a chain restaurant empire, I must maintain a good relationship with the Health Bureau.

Wu Xiaoyu was somewhat tempted. After thinking for a long time, he realized that in this world, he could go against anyone, but not money!

“Alright, I’ll go help Sunx Qianjin with his illness. But I can’t guarantee that I can definitely cure him!” Wu Xiaoyu agreed.

Hearing his agreement, Mu Zhuangfei was also relieved. At least he lived up to the old man’s expectations, otherwise, he might have gotten beaten up!

“Um… Xiaoyu, there’s one more thing you need to keep in mind! Don’t tell the old man of the Sunx Family that it’s my father who asked you to help him!” Mu Zhuangfei suddenly reminded him.

The entangled love-hate relationship between the two families already gave Wu Xiaoyu a headache. Hearing Mu Zhuangfei’s reminder made him even more puzzled.

If the Sunx Family knew that you invited me to help, wouldn’t that ease the tension between your two families?

Why must you hide it from Sunx Qianjin?

After breakfast, Jiang Yun took Wu Xiaoyu to rest in the living room, while Mu Zhuangfei dialed the phone number of the Sunx Family’s eldest son.

“Xiaoyu, in these past two days, you’ve not only helped Old Mu with work but also helped our little Fei with her night walking problem. You’ve really worked hard!” Jiang Yun thanked him politely.

Wu Xiaoyu was just about to brush off the compliment when Mu Feiyan interrupted, “Helping me with my illness was just a small favor. What you really want to thank him for is helping Dad with his illness, right?”

Jiang Yun was suddenly awkward upon hearing this and, after thinking for a moment, tried to comfort, “Little Fei, you need to understand your father and the entire Mu Family.”

“We honestly don’t value boys over girls, but girls in the officialdom and business world can’t compare to boys.”

Seeing that Mu Feiyan was still hung up on her parents wanting a son, Wu Xiaoyu found it quite frustrating.

This girl is too selfish, isn’t she? Just to monopolize her parents’ love, she doesn’t care about their feelings?

However, as an outsider accidentally privy to family matters, it was already awkward enough, so it was inappropriate for him to say anything more.

But Li Qianqian, who was quick and blunt, openly questioned, “Sister, how great would it be if Uncle and Aunt had another boy! I’d have a little cousin brother, and finally, I wouldn’t be at the bottom!”

Not at the bottom anymore? Does this mean my parents having another boy is just to elevate your status to elder cousin? Mu Feiyan angrily glared at Li Qianqian!

Seeing his daughter so resistant, Jiang Yun was also quite helpless. Just as he was about to say something else, Mu Zhuangfei came over and said to Wu Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, could you wait a little longer? The Sunx Family’s people will be here soon!”

“Alright!” Wu Xiaoyu glanced at the time and responded calmly, his composed demeanor making Mu Zhuangfei admire him even more.

Wu Xiaoyu is just a farmer’s child who hasn’t seen much of the world or any influential figures, yet he carries such poise. Truly admirable.

Mu Feiyan, hearing that Wu Xiaoyu was about to go to the Sunx Family to treat the old man there, became even more displeased with him.

Even though Mu Feiyan looked down on Wu Xiaoyu, he had cured Elder Mu’s disease and was now invited by her father to help in the military. She already regarded Wu Xiaoyu as a guest who depended on their family.

As a guest, he should be aware of his role, be loyal to the host, and hate their enemies with all his heart.

But now, Wu Xiaoyu was going to help their rival family. Isn’t this blatant betrayal?

Even though the order came directly from the grandfather, for the prosperity of the Mu Family, he could’ve refused.

However, Wu Xiaoyu had never considered himself bound to the Mu Family or loyal to them.

Indeed, he held great respect for Elder Mu, but in his view, he and the Mu Family were equals. He had cured Elder Mu’s disease, which was a huge favor to the Mu Family.

Therefore, the Mu Family should reciprocate by offering him some protection and providing reasonable conveniences in some matters.

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu completely unaware of his supposed guest duties, Mu Feiyan sarcastically mocked him openly and subtly.

But Wu Xiaoyu remained indifferent, leaving Mu Feiyan fuming with no outlet for her anger. She could only glare at Wu Xiaoyu in resentment.

Jiang Yun was about to restrain Mu Feiyan when the doorbell rang. Li Qianqian, seeing Aunt comforting her cousin, volunteered to open the door.

But when she opened the door, her expression immediately turned frosty. Coldly, she said, “It’s you! Come in then!”

Standing at the door, Sunx Shangqiang noticed Li Qianqian’s scornful face but could only fake a smile as he walked in.

“Uncle Mu, my father asked me to fetch Miracle Doctor Wu…” Sunx Shangqiang respectfully addressed Mu Zhuangfei.

After speaking, he locked eyes on Wu Xiaoyu, smiling at him.

Mu Feiyan, hearing the term “Miracle Doctor Wu,” looked disdainfully at Wu Xiaoyu and pretended to gag, causing Jiang Yun to glare at her with a dark expression.

Mu Zhuangfei acknowledged and then smiled at Wu Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, you two should’ve met already? Go with him!”

Upon Mu Zhuangfei’s instructions, Sunx Shangqiang respectfully said to Wu Xiaoyu, “Miracle Doctor Wu, my father asked me to invite you. Could you please come with me?”

Go with you? Why does that sound so awkward, like being taken to custody! Can you speak properly?

Wu Xiaoyu frowned slightly with displeasure, nodded at Mu Zhuangfei, and followed Sunx Shangqiang out.

The two got into a BMW and drove away from the military compound toward the Sunx Mansion. On the way, Sunx Shangqiang hesitated and said:

“Miracle Doctor Wu, if my grandfather asks, please say you ran into me by chance and I invited you over. Just don’t mention the Mu Family, okay?”

Mu Zhuangfei had just mentioned this but hadn’t explained why. Hearing Sunx Shangqiang emphasize it again, Wu Xiaoyu asked in confusion, “Why? You don’t want to acknowledge the Mu Family’s grace?”

Sunx Shangqiang smiled awkwardly and explained, “Although the relationship between our two families is tense, we still have to acknowledge the Mu Family’s help. Of course, the most gratitude should go to you, Miracle Doctor Wu!”

“But my grandfather is a proud person. If he knew you were persuaded by the Mu Family to help him, he wouldn’t agree.”

Seriously? Just for pride? Is pride more important than health or life?

Wu Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly and replied, “Alright! I’ll say we ran into each other yesterday, and after your persistent pleading, I was moved by your filial piety. How about that?”

Filial piety? Sunx Shangqiang’s eyes lit up. If his grandfather believed Wu Xiaoyu came because of his filial piety, wouldn’t his standing in his grandfather’s eyes improve?

“Great… great! Thank you so much!” Sunx Shangqiang replied excitedly, wanting to shake Wu Xiaoyu’s hand, but Wu Xiaoyu dodged.
