Chapter 116: Mu Zixuan’s Indignance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Huan knew that Mu Zixuan’s pleading for mercy that day was just a scheme to have her owe him a favor that he could use in the future. However, he did indeed save her granny. She would remember and return this favor.
But she would not let an evil person go back to their lair!
Also, she learned through Lin Qingya that you can do anything for a person out of kindness if they deserved to be treated well. But for those who do not deserve it as their favors were based on personal objectives, it would just be foolish if one still did anything for them out of kindness!
Mu Zixuan knew from Mu Huan’s words that there was no use for him to try to say anything else. He looked at his grandma again and knew that she didn’t want to save his mother either. Therefore, it didn’t matter whatever else he said.
Even though he did not want things to be this way, there was nothing he could do. But… “Sis, my mother was actually used this time around!”
Matriarch Mu knew what he was going to say and thus continued, “That idiot was indeed used. She was used by Lin Qingya. She wanted to be with Gu Chenyi, but Gu Chenyi does not like her. That’s why she thought about this plan…”
Matriarch Mu and Mu Zixuan wanted to make Lin Qingya the mastermind of this scheme and let Mu Huan believe that Lin Qingya had orchestrated everything to be with Gu Chenyi. The person who wanted to hurt her was Lin Qingya. Even though Bai Xuexian deserved it as well for having bad intentions, she was used and had only been an accessory to the crime.
But Mu Huan was not foolish either. “It was Bai Xuexian who wanted to hurt me, and that’s why she sought out Lin Qingya. But she ended up being used by Lin Qingya instead, isn’t that right?”
At that time, when Lin Qingya told her that Bai Xuexian wanted to hurt her, she knew that Lin Qingya had had a part to play as well. Now, it seemed like the reason Lin Qingya told her that Bai Xuexian had found her previous colleague from the bar to sully her was that she was afraid Mu Huan would know that Gu Chenyi was there and would bring Gu Chenyi away, ruining her plan.
Lin Qinya was a person with a meticulous inclination to make use of everyone, and yet, Mu Huan blindly believed that she was someone who needed protection!
Matriarch Mu and Mu Zixuan were momentarily speechless.
“Sis, no matter what, Lin Qingya had a part to play in this!” Mu Zixuan was indignant that it was only his mother who was being punished for this. He had to drag Lin Qingya down as well.
Mu Huan knew that he was trying to use her to fight against Lin Qingya. Therefore, she said, “The main person she harmed was your mom, so you should find her and seek revenge for yourself!”
Mu Zixuan: “…!”
Matriarch Mu couldn’t bear to see her grandson being cornered. “Xiao Huan, Lin Qingya is now Gu Chenyi’s woman. She is still keeping up with her facade as the victim. Therefore, Gu Chenyi might take responsibility for her. You already know what kind of status and position the Gu family has.”
The implication was that the Mu family could not deal with the Gu family. Lin Qingya has hurt you as well, so you should have Bao Junyan take on this fight!
Even if Mu Huan would not let Lin Qingya off, she couldn’t let Bao Junyan help her in every single issue. Moreover… “If I let Bao Junyan deal with Lin Qingya, he will definitely investigate her and will find out about the past events. Would Grandma want him to know about the past?”
Matriarch Mu thought about it. If Bao Junyan investigated Lin Qingya, he would find out about Mu Huan and Gu Chenyi’s dating history. He would also learn about how they forced Mu Huan to marry Bao Junyan, as well as about everything she had planned. They would be finished!
“As I am obedient at home, Bao Junyan is not concerned about me and does not notice me much. Therefore, he knows only that I am not favored in the family and was abused by my stepmother. However, if I begin to look for him over every matter, he will begin to notice me and care about me. He will then investigate me. Grandma, do you think there’s anything that he can’t find out about if that’s the case?”
