Chapter 114 - Ask Anything You Want
“It should be fine since he’s going to hold the post temporarily. Then, we’ll hold a board meeting again to vote for the new CEO!” The stockholders agreed with the decision.
“I feel that Mr. Mu Xiao is a capable youth. He should be able to hold the position.”
Then, it was almost decided that Mr. Mu Xiao was going to be the CEO temporarily. On the other hand, Papa Mu seemed defeated and sad. His eyes were filled with hatred. He was obviously angry as he was fired.
His eyes seemed like daggers when he looked at Su Zipei and Mu Qiqi. He wanted so badly to tear them apart.
However, the more Papa Mu hated them, the happier they were.
It was because that bastard only valued his own interests. Now that he had been defeated and lost his power, it was just like giving him a death warrant.
“If that’s the case, you better go and hand over your duties to your younger brother. From now on, you’re prohibited from stepping into Mu Group except to attend the board meeting!” Grandpa Mu said to Papa Mu. “If you realize that you’re wrong, you’ll behave properly and stay at home. If you’re still stubborn, don’t blame me when I disown you!”
Papa Mu suffered greatly. It was hard for him to accept that he had been defeated.
But, what else could he do given that there were so many people watching him right at that moment?
“I won’t just let it go like that, especially the two of you!” Papa Mu threatened the stockholders, especially Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei. Then, he left the meeting room. The others could not help but sneer at him.
“What more does he want?”
Mu Qiqi looked at Su Zipei. She knew that Papa Mu would not just give up like that. They were not afraid because of the person they cared about deeply.
It seemed that Grandpa Mu had aged a lot after the meeting. He said to Su Zipei when almost all of the stockholders had left the meeting room, “Now, you got what you wished for. Could you please forgive us?”
“But, I’m afraid that your son is not going to let us go!” Su Zipei said to Grandpa Mu. “It’s true that we women can’t do much. But, we’ll risk everything else if we’re forced to. I want him to know that he cannot just do anything he liked in this world!”
“You should forgive Xue’er too…”
They never planned to plot anything against Mu Tangxue as long as she left them alone. She couldn’t go to school and didn’t have anybody by her side to support her. She held no threat toward Mu Qiqi. But, there were just some people in this world who liked to do things beyond their capabilities.
Mu Qiqi looked at Su Zipei and said nothing. Grandpa Mu said nothing too. He got up and left Mu Group.
Soon, there were only a few people left in the meeting room. Su Zipei stopped Mr. Mu Xiao. “I want to ask you something!”
“Madam Su, just ask me anything you want.” Mr. Mu Xiao did not dare to look down on Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei now. He could not fulfill his wish for so many years but these two women helped him to achieve his dream. “I’m indebted to you now, aren’t I?”
“When you retorted that bastard just now, I heard you mentioning Young Master Shen. Do you know anything else about him? Could you please tell me? What kind of secrets lie between the two of them?”
Mr. Mu Xiao laughed softly after he heard what she said. He retorted, “How come you’re unaware of it? Didn’t my sister-in-law tell you about it?”
“No, she never told me anything about that.”
“Young Master Shen, Shen Jianchuan was my brother’s best friend. But, I heard that my sister-in-law was quite close to him before. However, not many people knew about it. I think you’re aware of the fact that the Shen family is a powerful and influential family. At that time, my sister-in-law was nothing but a mere office worker. It was impossible for her to be accepted by the Shen family.”
“They always got together and played golf.”
“But, I don’t know why my brother came back home one day and begged for my dad’s approval. He wanted to marry her. Surely, my dad did not allow him to do so at first but he was forced to because your sister was pregnant at that time.”
“Your sister was pregnant when she came into our Mu family. Then, Qiqi and Mu Tangxue were born. But, Young Master Shen met with an accident not long after that. He is still lying in the hospital now. He’s barely alive too.”
“My brother values his interests very much. Why would he marry her when she was only a mere office worker without any powerful background? It puzzled me a great deal. He might have loved her dearly at that time. But, we don’t know why he became so cold toward her after that.”
“Somehow, we felt that it had something to do with Young Master Shen. Moreover, we’re aware that my brother is a cruel and savage person. So, we suspect that he might have had something to do with what happened to Young Master Shen.”
“Surely, there were some secrets between my brother, my sister-in-law and Young Master Shen.”
“You heard him just now, didn’t you? He admitted to it silently.”
After listening to Mr. Mu Xiao, Su Zipei had a rough picture in her head now. She got up and shook hands with him. “Thank you, I’ll definitely look into it.”
“It’s not easy to look into the past. If you need me, just give me a call. Moreover, Qiqi, your dad is not a good person. But, your uncle is rather good toward you, right?”
Mu Qiqi smiled. But, she never felt any sincerity from anyone in the Mu family.
“Thank you, Uncle. I don’t know where that bastard hid himself right now. Please ask somebody to escort us out.”
“You’re much more mature now after living outside of your home and facing all kinds of challenges. Now, your thinking is just like an adult.”
Then, Mr. Mu Xiao ordered the securities to escort them out of Mu Group.
However, they saw Papa Mu smashing things around his office as they were leaving.
Oh? Did he start losing his nerve now?
‘When the DNA report is out, surely you’ll go mad!’ Su Zipei predicted it in her heart.
“Aunt, let’s go,” Mu Qiqi said to Su Zipei.
Su Zipei nodded her head and left Mu Group with Mu Qiqi. Mr. Mu Xiao escorted them out. When they reached the entrance, Mu Qiqi said to Mr. Mu Xiao, “Uncle, isn’t it time to change the receptionist?”
Mr. Mu Xiao knew what she meant. He nodded his head. “Yes, I understand what you’re saying. You mischievous kid! You won’t see her the next time you come here!”
She did not know how to respect others. It was obvious that she would be punished for it.
Mu Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief after they left Mu Group. “Aunt, I was so nervous. I almost thought that we wouldn’t be able to beat that bastard.”
“Don’t you know how intelligent Young Master Sheng is? He predicted everything. Surely, that bastard will grab another chance to fight back. But, he would never know who his real enemy is,” Su Zipei sneered. “I just hope that my sister will protect us if she knows about it in heaven”
“Aunt, let’s go home. I want to meet Xiaoxiao now…”
