Chapter 20 - Send The Guests Away

Jiang Jin wore a proud expression on her face as she held the hand of Song Ning who was standing behind her. "I raised Mu Chen so he's naturally filial to me. Even the woman he married is to my liking."

Ding Hong and the others' expressions turned sour. They looked at Mu Lan meaningfully as though indicating she should speak up.

Mu Lan said with a faint smile on her face, "Aunt Jiang, we've had a close tie with the Ye family for generations now. Now that the Young Master of the Ye family has gotten into politics, we can't underestimate the power of a marriage alliance. Mu Chen, he… I'm just worried the Ye family will be offended that he abandoned Ye Xin… Oh, Aunt Jiang, Mu Chen is young, and I'm sure he's worked hard to reach where he is today..."

Everyone was listening intently to Mu Lan, waiting for her to finish her word.

Song Ning looked at the elegant and dignified woman in front of her and could not help but feel curious about her next words as well.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Mu Lan cleared her throat before she continued to say, "But, don't you think it's better if our family takes over all the dealings with the Ye family? That way, even if Ye family were to get offended when they find out about Mu Chen's marriage, our business won't be harmed, right?"

Song Ning lowered her head as a faint smile appeared on her face. Mu Chen's aunt was rather clever.

When Ding Hong heard this, she was enraged. "Mu Lan, what are you talking about? I thought you were worried about Mu Chen, but as it turns out, you're just greedy. Is Zhou Jianbang still dissatisfied with all the benefits he received from the Mu family? How dare you scheme to take over all the Ye family's business. Don't you think you're being too ambitious?"

After that, Qu Huanhuan pursed her lips and added, "Sure enough, Aunt Mu Lan just cares for herself.

Mu Lan paid no mind to the insults and said, "All of you are overthinking things. I'm doing this for the good of the Mu family. Do you think the Ye family won't burn bridges with us when they find out Mu Chen has secretly married another woman? Xin and Mu Chen's scandal made headlines. This time, she even won an international award. She's more than worthy to marry our Mu Chen.
