Mu Huan looked at him silently for a moment before suddenly asking, “What do you need five million yuan for?”
Mu Dongsheng thought this meant that she wanted to help him. “I went overseas with my friends a while back to gamble, and I lost a few rounds. Originally, your grandma said that she would give me five million after I’ve persuaded you to agree, and I would then be able to fill the gap. Who knew that you would cause such a problem and send your grandma into a violent rage? Why would I dare to still ask her for any money now? If not for that, I wouldn’t be asking you to get the money from Bao Junyan in the first place.”
Until the end, Mu Dongsheng seemed to be blaming Mu Huan. If she had not tarnished Bai Xuexian’s reputation and destroyed Matriarch Mu’s game, things wouldn’t have come to this.
“You lost five million?”
“I had times when I won as well, but you know you can never keep winning in such things.”
Mu Huan suddenly lost all control and grabbed Mu Dongsheng’s arm. “You can go overseas and lose five million yuan, yet you refused to lend me fifty thousand in the first place?! You just watched them destroy my entire life?!”
Previously, she’d tried to find an excuse for him and convinced herself that it was as he said. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help her; he was just helpless. However, what was this now?!
He dared to lose five million yuan but didn’t want to lend her fifty thousand?!
“Xiao Huan, this is different. No matter how much I lose, your grandma would only think I am a failure and send me to the countryside to reflect. But if I go against her, she would take my life! You know I already have a son, so the Mu family now has a successor. Your grandma no longer needs this useless son of hers.”
“Take your life? You really think Grandma would take your life?”
Mu Dongsheng: “…”
Alright, he was exaggerating a little. No matter how useless her mother thought he was, she would never take away her only son’s life. But even then, he did not dare to oppose her!
“Xiao Huan, there’s no meaning behind what we are saying anymore. Also, how is this ruining your life?! It’s great that you married Bao Junyan! Bao Junyan is handsome and rich, and he dotes on you. All the clothes you are wearing now are branded. Your life is going to be a wonderful one as you are living in the lap of luxury. It isn’t ruined—you are profiting from a disaster! Stop thinking about the past!”
“Profiting from a disaster? Grandma is holding Granny against me, so I can only listen to her instructions obediently like a dog, doing whatever she asks me to do. This is called happiness? Look at my face. Do you really feel this is a blessing?” Mu Huan pointed at her face.
Mu Dongsheng could not bear to look at her red and swollen face.
“Xiao Huan, don’t make it sound so nasty. You have to think about it this way. Your grandma is your elder. It is a must for you to be filial and obedient to your elders. As long as you are obedient and do whatever Grandma asks you to, you wouldn’t have to take any beating.”
He had told her very early on to be like him. Be obedient and let Grandma do whatever she wanted to do, and things would be fine. Yet, she had to create such a problem.
“I should just do whatever she asks me to do? She asked me to drug Bao Junyan, and I did. Forget about her letting me live a good life with 20 million yuan. She will only think of ways to put me in a tight spot and repeatedly use me over and over again until I am useless to her!”
Mu Dongsheng: “…”
This was a possibility.
But…
“Xiao Huan, no matter what, things are already this way. Kexin can never marry Bao Junyan, so you have to keep being Mrs. Bao and be used by your grandma. Since that’s the case, you can just conveniently lend your dad a hand! I am your biological father, after all!” Mu Dongsheng reinforced his identity as her dad once again.
