Chapter 230: Hinting

Ye Cheng did not expect the Mu Group’s crisis would be so easily resolved. The stocks that dropped had rebounded at an unbelievable speed. Every subsidiary company saw a large number of new orders and contracts. For a time, the Mu Group’s popularity was unrivaled.

Ye Cheng, who planned to reap benefits from the Mu Group’s misfortune, was caught off guard. He had used a large amount of reserve funds, but he did not gain an advantage at all during the chaotic time. Not only that but he was caught fishing in troubled water by Mu Chen. Although the loss was not big, the long-standing relationship, reputation, and favorability he had maintained with Mu Chen had taken quite a hit.

What was even more unexpected was that Mu Chen took the initiative to report the cause of the rapid rise and fall of the Mu Group’s shares to the Securities Regulatory Commission.

The Mu Group’s openness shocked everyone. Everyone did not expect Mu Chen would do such a thing. They thought Jiang Jin, the strong and independent woman, had truly raised her grandson well. He was a rare business genius.

With this commotion, no one paid attention to the Mu family’s internal strife. No one cared or knew about Mu Qing’s matter.

Mu Qing’s heart problem was not serious. He had only played his illness up to get away from a disadvantageous situation. Although he had thought his plan was flawless previously, he had always been a cautious person so he had also made plans for the possibility of things going south. This path of retreat he had thought up really saved him from disaster this time.

Although Mu Chen had already seen through Mu Qing’s thoughts, Mu Qing was not bothered. He knew Jiang Jin and Mu Chen’s weaknesses were their emotions. He knew their bottom lines, and as long as he did not cross their bottom lines, no matter what he did, they would eventually swallow their anger.

On the other hand, Liang Zhou could not understand how their plan had failed. Her dreams of becoming the matriarch of the Mu family were shattered, and she was understandably disappointed.

There was nothing she could do to rectify the situation at all. She was not like Liang Zhen who was favored by Jiang Jin nor did she give birth to a child who could have contended with Mu Chen. No matter how unwilling or resentful she felt, she could only accept it.

Due to this matter, there was also a hint of unspoken tension between Liang Zhou and Mu Qing. Neither one of them wanted to speak about the matter despite the tension between them until Sister Yu came looking for them.

Sister Yu said respectfully to Mu Qing, “The Old Madam invites you and Ms. Liang to the house after dinner. She wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with the two of you…”

Liang Zhou looked at Mu Qing in surprise, waiting for his decision.

Mu Chen nodded calmly. “Alright, we’ll go over after dinner.”

Sister Yu nodded.

When Sister Yu was about to leave, Mu Qing asked tentatively, “Will anyone else be there?”

Sister Yu smiled politely and shook her head. “No. The Old Madam has been tired recently. When you’re chatting with the Old Madam, you should also pay more attention to her health. Showing filial piety will definitely lighten her mood. She has missed you over the years; she just doesn’t say it out loud. If you want to stay, it’s best if you’re modest. Old Madam will definitely be happy with that…”

Mu Qing nodded and said gratefully, “Thank you for your advice, Sister Yu. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay attention to Mother’s health when I talk to her…”

Sister Yu smiled and nodded before leaving.

Liang Zhou was confused. “What did she mean? What’s she hinting at?”

Mu Qing looked at the door, lost in his thoughts. After a while, he said indifferently, “It seems like Mother’s health isn’t good. Sister Yu doesn’t want me to agitate Mother and wants me to be careful with my words when I speak to her.”

Liang Zhou’s eyes widened in surprise. “Is her condition that serious?”

Mu Qing looked at her and said, “Put your evil thoughts away. It’s beneficial to us that she’s around. Without her, Mu Chen won’t show us any mercy. She’s our protective shield now…”
