Mu Huanâs gaze swiftly turned cold.
Just as Matriarch Mu had raised her hand to slap her a second time, Mu Huan grabbed her wrist roughly and said with an icy gaze, âGrandma, if you want someone to respect you as an elderly, please conduct yourself with dignity first!â
âWhy? Are you unable to hit me even though you want to? Hit me, then!â Matriarch Mu said with a stern voice.
âGrandma, I am saying this again. Do not go overboard!â
âYouâre the one who went overboard, Mu Huan! Iâve never been ruthless toward you because you are my biological granddaughter, yet you are unable to tell good from the bad. You are so wretched!â If it wasnât for the fact that Mu Huan was still useful, Matriarch Mu would have really wanted to beat her to death.
Mu Huan was taken aback.
âDid you think that everything will be fine as long as you sent those videos and photographs to Mu Weiguo? All I had to do was inebriate him and he immediately divulged everything!â Even after Matriarch Mu found out that it was Mu Weiguo who had sent those videos and photographs, she did not believe that he had the intellect to plot against Bai Xuexian. Therefore, she made use of his weakness toward alcohol and got someone to find things out from him using a bottle of wine. Thatâs how she learned about everything.
A look of realization flashed across Mu Huanâs eyes. It turned out that Matriarch Mu had figured out the truth. It was no wonder she was so angry.
Even though she knew that her grandma would be suspicious, she never thought that her grandma would figure out that she was the one behind this so quickly. However... âSo what if you know about this?â
âYou...!â Matriarch Mu almost couldnât catch her breath due to her anger.
âGrandma, although I have no idea what bargaining chip you have in your hands that made you think that you will definitely be able to have Mu Kexin marry Bao Junyan, I know now that no matter what that chip is, you will never be able to matchmake them together.â
Grandma would have to take care of Mu Kexin if she was unable to find a husband.
âYou wretched, evil creature!â Matriarch Mu yelled furiously.
âIf I am an evil monster, then what about you?â Mu Huan sneered in response.
Matriarch Mu was ready to explode. âGuards! Guards!â
âWhy is Grandma shouting for someone? Do you want to get somebody to beat me up?â
âYou wouldnât know what fear is until I beat you half to death today!â
âDoes Grandma still think that I am young and weak? That I will just take your scolding and beating?â Mu Huan laughed coldly.
âMu Huan, donât forget that your granny is in my hands!â
âI didnât forget. Itâs because my granny is still here that I still came. Thatâs why I am still willing to talk to you amicably. If anything happens to my granny, what do you think I will do?â
âYou...â
âAfter this issue with Bai Xuexian, have you not realized yet that I am no longer like how I was in the past? If any one of you dare to touch my granny, I will return a tooth for a tooth!
âTherefore, Grandma, you shouldnât be thinking about how badly you could treat my granny. Rather, you should think about how well you can take care of her such that she lives to a hundred years old. This way, you will always have a weakness of mine and can continue to make use of me. If not, you can forget about even using me. I will be the sharpest knife that will destroy this Mu family! I will ruin the family property you value the most, as well as your precious grandson!â
âMu Huan!â Matriarch Mu bellowed.
At this moment, she finally realized that the woman before her was no longer that ten-year-old girl who would cry and beg her whenever she was beaten or threatened.
âGrandma, I will say the same thing once again. If you want the Mu family to be well and your grandson to be fine, then let my granny be alright! Do not use her as a threat whenever you want! Of course, I will still do everything that you ask of me.â
