“Grandma, in the past, I was young and rash. I felt that I only needed to depend on myself. But now I’ve matured, and I know that sometimes, in some matters, one cannot depend on one’s own efforts.” Of course, since Mu Huan had decided to come looking for her grandma, she had thought about what she needed to say.
Matriarch Mu thought about how Mu Huan had indeed been obedient lately and wasn’t stubborn and rebellious like in the past. She kept silent.
At this point, Mu Zixuan, who had been sitting by the side quietly, said, “Grandma, I believe Sister.”
Matriarch Mu looked toward him upon hearing this remark, giving him a warning look that he should not speak nonsense.
However, Mu Zixuan continued, “Grandma, compared to Lin Qingya, Sister is definitely more trustworthy.”
Mu Zixuan had not forgotten nor forgiven Lin Qingya’s scheming against Bai Xuexian.
Only if Mu Huan was Madam Bao would he have the chance to take revenge on Lin Qingya. Otherwise, when Lin Qingya had become the daughter-in-law of the Gu family and secured her position with the arrival of her child, he would never have the chance to take revenge in this lifetime.
Furthermore, between Lin Qingya and Mu Huan, he definitely trusted Mu Huan! Even if she did not keep her word and help him as much as she could in the future, she definitely would not harm him.
On the other hand, that would not hold true for Lin Qingya. An evil person like her would not hesitate to destroy Mu Huan the minute she had the chance to. With Mu Huan out of the way and the Mu family having seen her true colors, they could very well be her next target.
“I know.” Matriarch Mu knew too that, compared to Lin Qingya, Mu Huan was definitely more trustworthy. However, she continued, “I won’t let anyone else get their hands on those things!”
She still felt more secure holding on to the things.
“Xiao Huan, you really don’t have to worry about this at all! As long as you keep behaving yourself, those things are as good as non-existent!”
“Since Grandma is so confident in yourself and you’re not worried about Lin Qingya or Mu Kexin, then I have even less to worry about. At worst, I leave Bao Junyan. As long as Grandma can bear the consequences if such a day should really come,” Mu Huan said as she got to her feet and prepared to leave.
Then, as though she suddenly thought of something, she turned around and asked, “Grandma, the person who failed in the operation at the time was you and not Granddad. Isn’t that right?”
Of course, Mu Huan had thought of looking for those things and destroying them herself. However, she did not manage to locate them, but in the process, she found out some other information.
Many years ago, her grandma had taken on a case of a high-risk operation for the sake of raising the profile of the Mu family’s hospital. She had even taken advantage of the publicity and made big news out of this case. However, the operation eventually failed due to an error on the surgeon’s part, causing the patient’s death.
At the time, the lead surgeons were her grandma and granddad, with Bai Xuexian a.s.sisting.
After this episode, her grandma had pushed the blame to her granddad and even made a big show of punis.h.i.+ng him in the cause of justice by firing him. She pushed him to face the pressure of public opinion, and eventually, he died from depression.
When Matriarch Mu heard Mu Huan say that, she almost jumped in shock.
“This matter that had happened so long ago is supposed to be known only by Grandma, Granddad, and Bai Xuexian. Grandma surely had thought that no fourth person in this world would ever come to know about it. But now I know. How do you think I found out about it? You’ve kept it a deep secret and thought that it would remain so for sure. But how did I find out?
“Are there any absolutes in this world?”
