Chapter 94 -  Family ("WanWan, you won't leave me, right?") (1)  

Looking at that familiar face on the screen, the old madam’s smiley face turned solemn. She looked from Mu XiYuan to Xu WanZhi, then narrowed her eyes. 

Mu Ling, watching everybody’s responses, knew that something was wrong and quickly changed the subject. “Aiya, these are the same actors in all the shows. Of course they look familiar. Hurry up, let’s keep on watching. I want to know what the show is about.”

Having said that, Mu Ling snatched the remote control out back from Mu XiYuan’s hand and said, “Mom, let’s keep watching.”

But before she could even hit the “Play” button, Mu XiYuan spoke again. 

“Stop playing dumb, Second Aunty.” Mu XiYuan snickered. “This actor is probably a part-time traditional doctor. The only question is, did he really know traditional medicines or did he come pretending to be one with assiduity.”

His words were, doubtless, like oil on fire. The old madam’s look got worse and her face-full of wrinkles now looked vicious and terrifying. 

She looked up slowly and looked over at Xu WanZhi. “Miss Xu, can you please explain what is going on to us?”

“What else could it be?” The corners of Mu XiYuan’s lips went way high and he leaned all the way back against the back of the couch. Plopping the ankle of one foot onto the knee of the other and shaking it up and down, he looked so complacent that his tail was sticking straight up. 

He handed a cup of tea to the old madam and said at a moderate pace, “I’m afraid Miss Xu had treated all of the Mu’s as though we are fools that she could wrap around her little finger. Even if she needed to hire an actor to play the role, she could have at least look for one that was not popular. ‘Blossoming Us’ was about to air and she had intentionally looked for someone that she knew we would see. Obviously, she wanted us to know that she had fooled us. Grandma, it was lucky that you have asked her to come over to watch it with us. Good things happen to good people. And we are able to see through her plans while she is here with us. Lucky for me for surviving the medicines prescribed by this so-called traditional doctor. Otherwise, you would be arranging for my funeral right about now.”

The more he talked, the more excited Mu XiYuan got. Finally, he crossed his arms in front of himself and said, “Am I right, Miss Xu?”

“XiYuan, I knew you have always felt hostile towards me. I don’t blame you for thinking that.” Xu WanZhi gave a wholehearted smile and turned to the old madam. “Old Madam must not know that XiYuan had reached out to me before Huanyu went bankrupt and wanted to take away all assets under ZhenYu’s name.”

“What?” With everything that had happened tonight, the old madam wasn’t able to process all of the information right away. She looked over at Mu ZhenYu, then over at Mu XiYuan. She pointed at Xu WanZhi with her shaking finger and asked, “What… what is she talking about?”

“Perhaps because of his background. I know that Aunty LiZhen and Uncle Mu are in love with each other but there are rumors that XiYuan is the illegitimate child from the third person. Rumors can do a lot of damage. It’d make sense that XiYuan would hate his brother from the first marriage.” Xu WanZhi smiled and carried on. “Which was why I was surprised when he came looking for me and asked me to join force with him to set up ZhenYu from both externally and internally.  I talked with ZhenYu about it and agreed that even though they have different mothers, they are still brothers. So I pretended that I agreed to his suggestion to stop the situation between the two of them from intensifying.”

Wang LiZhen, who was put on the spot for no fault of hers, gave Xu WanZhi a stare. But she was a mistress before and that was the fact that would never change. There was nothing that she could say other than staring at Xu WanZhi. 

Xu WanZhi took the opportunity to turn and look at Mu ZhenYu. She saw that not only had he not contradict what she had said, he was looking at her with interest to see what she was going to say next.
