Chapter 168: 168: Mu Bai’s Request for Help

And what was Mu Qiuniang busy with during this time?

It turns out that recently Mu Bai suddenly asked her for a favor—to discipline her troublemaking brother Murong. Mu Bai was not an only child; she had a younger brother two years her junior named Murong, who was even more unruly than her, causing headaches for everyone.

Her rebellion at most involved wanting to make films, having a bad temper, and offending some people, but this Murong purely belonged to the sort who looked for trouble when there wasn’t any. If he disliked someone, it probably wasn’t for any special reason; maybe he just thought they were more handsome than him, which made him uncomfortable and he wanted to teach them a lesson.

This time, Murong ran into a hard wall. He snatched a woman from Yan Hao, one of the "Capital City Four Young Masters," and was severely beaten up, ending up with a head injury and spending a month in the hospital.

"Aunt Great Grandmother, you really need to help manage him this time. With the way my brother is, if you don’t manage him soon, it might turn into a real disaster!"

Mu Bai was very fond of her brother, but she never thought that one day he would be so foolish as to cross someone as renowned as Young Master Yan, one of the "Capital City Four Young Masters." Who did he think he could provoke?

"Young Master Yan is practically a Crown Prince, the real deal. Even I take a detour when I see him, and this kid just had to offer himself up to get beaten. It’s infuriating. If he weren’t my brother, I really wouldn’t want to bother with him anymore."

Talking about this matter made Mu Bai’s teeth itch.

"Didn’t you say the Mu family in the Capital City is a prominent family?" Mu Qiuniang was a bit puzzled.

Even if the Mu family in the Capital City was quite reputable, why was her brother beaten so badly? And all over a woman who wasn’t even a wife or girlfriend, such petty jealousy... it’s really...

Mu Qiuniang was speechless.

If it were in her time, and her brother dared to do something like this, she would have gone directly to confront him. What, did he leave his brains at home?

Mu Bai wanted to cry: "It’s different, Aunt Great Grandmother..." Although the Mu family in the Capital City was still the same Mu family, the times had changed. One was among the elite of the era, and the other was a slightly faded old family; no matter what, they couldn’t quite measure up to others.

After hearing someone’s explanation, Mu Qiuniang commented, "That’s just because your generation isn’t ambitious enough."

"Aunt Great Grandmother, this isn’t a matter of one or two generations... Besides, aren’t you also from this generation?" If being unambitious is the accusation, this generation of Aunt Great Grandmother could be considered ambitious, right? Didn’t she leave anything behind either?

"Hehe!" No, she’s not from this generation. Her generation was her father and brother, who secured the Mu family’s position in the Capital City.

Mu Bai: "..."

Aunt Great Grandmother, what do you mean by this? Can we still play nice?

Mu Bai looked at Mu Qiuniang’s expression and asked, "Aunt Great Grandmother, Grandpa asked me to pass a message: when will they visit you?"

"Ran into a hard wall and need a favor?" Mu Qiuniang kept a cold face.

"Hehehe... Aunt Great Grandmother, you really can’t blame this all on my brother," Mu Bai still defended her troublesome brother, "That woman never said she belonged to Young Master Yan. If she had said so earlier, my brother wouldn’t have gotten involved. She kept stringing him along, and my brother spent so much money on her, only to hold her hand. He naturally felt dissatisfied and tried to forcefully take things further, not expecting that..."

"He got slapped in the face, right?"

Mu Bai rubbed her nose awkwardly: "In our circle, this isn’t such a big deal. We see each other all the time, but this is just a woman, not a girlfriend, not a wife, just an escort. Who would’ve thought Young Master Yan would be so particular and have such a big reaction over it? Now several major families are aware of it and want to sever ties with our family..."

As she spoke, she glanced cautiously at Mu Qiuniang, "Grandpa said, at this point, only you, Aunt Great Grandmother, could figure out a way, so they came to you. Aunt Great Grandmother, if you really have a plan, please help us, okay? I swear, this is the last time. If my brother dares to mess around again, I won’t acknowledge him... If you’re still worried, you can keep him by your side just like me, and I guarantee that with you watching, he wouldn’t dare to mess around ever again."

"Alright, with all you’ve said, it boils down to wanting me to go to the Mu family in the Capital City."

"Aunt Great Grandmother, you still get me, hehehe..." Mu Bai giggled foolishly. In truth, she was already feeling anxious inside, quite nervous.

There was no other choice; she couldn’t understand why Grandpa said the matter was blown out of proportion this time, and only Aunt Great Grandmother could resolve it. If even Grandpa couldn’t solve it, what could Aunt Great Grandmother do?

"You drive."

"Yes, Aunt Great Grandmother!" Seeing her nod, Mu Bai was thrilled.

Regardless of whether Aunt Great Grandmother could resolve this matter, she only knew that Aunt Great Grandmother agreed, which meant her standing in Grandpa’s eyes had risen another notch. Who would look down on her as just a girl anymore?

Mu Qiuniang didn’t go directly to the Mu family but went to the hospital first.

Since the injury was serious, she had to see what the boy she was about to take over was like, making sure nothing happened before he was in her hands.

Mu Bai was indeed badly beaten, not to the point of being unconscious, but with bandages on his head and casts on his arms and legs, staying bedridden for a few months was inevitable.

"Aunt Great Grandmother, this way, my brother is just upstairs..." Mu Bai guided Mu Qiuniang to the elevator while discreetly notifying Grandpa that they were almost there, quickly telling the people guarding the ward to leave.

Aunt Great Grandmother had insisted she didn’t want to see anyone else in the ward.

Therefore, when they arrived at the ward, there was no one from the Mu family except for an unfamiliar advanced caregiver.

In the ward, despite being injured, Mu Bai was still restless, teasing the pretty caregiver, "Beauty, where are you from?"

"What do you usually like to do?"

"Hey, beauty, don’t just stay quiet. Working without talking is so boring, keep me company for a chat. Don’t they say a good mood is conducive to recovery? Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll recover by tomorrow."

...

"Hehe! I don’t know about tomorrow’s recovery, but I do know you have no pocket money for this month, and you’ll have none for next month either." Just then, as the door opened to see this scene, Mu Bai felt a chill from Aunt Great Grandmother and realized someone was going to be in trouble, feeling a bit schadenfreude.

When I told you about it, you mocked me for deserving it. Now it’s your turn!

"Sis, what brings you here?!" Mu Bai was somewhat surprised, "Aren’t you filming right now? Oh, you brought a woman for me? But sis, you weren’t thinking at all, were you? If you’re going to find someone, find a pretty one. This one is not even as good-looking as my caregiver..."

Mu Bai expressed: If you dig your own grave, there’s really no saving you. Don’t blame me for not warning you!
