Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Huan knew that she couldn’t anger Matriarch Mu completely. If she was reckless, she would not be able to withstand her with her current capability.
She needed to use both the carrot and the stick.
“Also, Grandma, I know that you have always wanted Mu Kexin to marry Bao Junyan because of your baby grandson. Even though I am not close to him, he is ultimately my little brother. As long as Grandma treats my granny well, I will do more than Mu Kexin would, but never less.”
Matriarch Mu felt that Mu Huan would not do as she said.
But…
She was aware that it was as Mu Huan had said. Now, no matter what bargaining chip she had in her hand, she was never going to be able to matchmake Mu Kexin with Bao Junyan. Therefore, she needed to use Mu Huan from now on.
So even if she didn’t want to believe her, she could only choose to believe Mu Huan and calm down from her fury.
But she was not delighted in the slightest bit.
Therefore, when Mu Huan released her hand, she still delivered two harsh slaps across Mu Huan’s face.
Mu Huan knew that Matriarch Mu needed to vent her anger. Thus, she did not hold her back.
Her fair and tender face had turned swollen and red from the three vicious slaps.
“You’d better do as you said you would. If not, do not blame me for being heartless! Even if you are no longer how you were when you were young, if I wanted you to have nowhere to go, you can forget about staying alive!” Matriarch Mu sneered.
Mu Huan lowered her head. “I know.”
All the harsh words she said earlier was to let her grandma know what the consequences of touching her granny were. She wanted her grandma to realize that she should absolutely not touch her granny, especially over the anger she was feeling right now.
It was not because she was strong enough now. Therefore, she could only bear with it as Matriarch Mu vented her fury.
“You have to ask Bao Junyan to attend my birthday feast, as well as to get him to prepare generous gifts!” She wanted to use Bao Junyan to regain her dignity.
“Yes.”
“Get out!” Matriarch Mu was annoyed if she had to look at Mu Huan for another second.
…
Mu Huan came home with a swollen face. Mu Dongsheng, who had been waiting by the door, instantly went forward. “My poor baby girl, it must have hurt!” he said with a face full of heartache.
Mu Huan raised her head to look at him.
Mu Dongsheng reached out with a sweet in his palm. “Be good. Here’s your favorite sweet. It won’t hurt anymore after you eat this.”
Mu Huan’s eyes began to turn red as she stared at the sweet in his hand.
When she was young, no matter where she fell or what she cried over, her dad would always magically present her with candy to coax her.
Even though she felt it wasn’t good that her dad always listened to her grandma, she always thought that she had the best dad in the world.
But now…
“Dad, be direct with what you want to say. You are terrible at acting affectionate.” Now, he only showed his fatherly love whenever he needed her help for something.
Sometimes, when she looked at him, she wanted to ask why things had turned out this way. He treated her so well and loved her so much when she was young. He always said she was his most beloved baby and princess.
Did he only treat her well because it was a request from Grandma?
But every single time, she controlled herself as she refused to destroy the fond memories she had from when she was young.
After all, those beautiful times were all that was left in her life.
Mu Dongsheng seemed to never know what awkwardness was. Every time he was exposed by Mu Huan, he would reveal his true intentions as if it was nothing. “Xiao Huan, you have to save Dad! If you don’t, there’s no way I can continue to survive!”
