Chapter 80 - A Smart One
Li Meng was impressed. “Wow!”
Wu Xingye said, “Mu Huan, do you want to sacrifice yourself for the sake of your friends here?”
This is a card that can buy a few airplanes!
What are we waiting for? It’s time for us to show off!
“Get lost.” She chased him away disdainfully.
“If you aren’t going to share your good fortune, then at least treat us to a good meal!” To him, the promise of a good meal remained unchanged.
“That is possible. If I were to use this card to swipe a bill of 30 yuan or so for bowls of noodles, my hubby might think that I’m trying to humiliate him.”
“Then what should we eat?”
After thinking for a while… “Let’s go to Dragon Court! I’ve been wanting to try the dishes there but couldn’t bear to spend the money.”
Dragon Court was Yun Cheng’s most expensive restaurant. The eatery did not carry a menu. Instead, the diners would get to enjoy what the chef cooked that day. Those who had tried the food there would want to go a second time even if it would cost them an arm and a leg. Due to its extravagant price tag, she did not have the chance to try the food yet.
“Really?!” The eyes of her two friends lit up instantly!
They would drool when they passed by the place every time!
“Of course! Since he stood in the way of my 200,000 yuan, I’m gonna spend a bomb on his account!” She decided that she would not pay him back for this meal after all.
“Let’s go!” If this were her money, they would be rather reluctant. But now, they could not wait to leave upon knowing that this meal was on his tab!
In the evening, just as the man was having a video-conference, he received an expense alert on his cell phone. He hooked his lips in a quiet smile. His wife was a smart woman.
Just when he was about to put down his phone, she sent him a WeChat message.
It was a picture of her dinner spread.
Mu Huan: “Hubby, the meal was really superb. Let’s eat here again next time.”
Bao Junyan: “Okay.”
She sipped her lips when she saw his simple reply.
At the Mu house…
“Grandma, I think you shouldn’t send Mommy abroad,” Mu Zixuan said.
“What’s the point of letting her stay in the country? She’s such a disgrace to the Mu family.” Although the matriarch doted on her grandson, she would not make a concession on this matter, not even for his sake.
“Grandma, I think if you were to exile her, then we’ll truly be disgraced. I’ll be mocked for having a lascivious mother and sister for the rest of my life.” Mu Zixuan was Mu Huan’s brother. Younger than she was by four years, he was 14 years old now. After the summer holidays, he would start his junior high school as his results were good enough for him to skip grades. Ever since he was young, he’d been exceptionally smart and talented, which delighted the matriarch. He was the apple of her eye.
She frowned upon hearing his words. Indeed, she was unwilling to see her precious grandson be made into a laughingstock. “Keeping her in the country would not change the fact. The video clip and photos were so clear that we have no way to refute the truth! No one would believe us if we deny it!”
She had wanted to salvage the situation, but since nothing could be done regarding this matter, she decided that the next best option would be to send the shameful mother-daughter pair away. Out of sight, out of mind.
“Others may not believe our words at first, but if we stand firm on our story, people will slowly come to believe us. However, if we don’t do anything and send my mother away instead, then it’s an admission of guilt indirectly. We’ll never be able to hold our heads high for the rest of our lives!”
“You have a point, but what else can we do? I think…”
“Grandma, don’t worry. I already have an idea.” Besides being endowed with a sharp mind, this young boy was also mature in his thinking, thanks to the nurturing showered by his conniving grandmother.
