Li Qin smiled and said, “Shishi, how do I address this gentleman? Why don’t you get him a seat?”

Mu Yazhe watched her every move and action without any expression or reaction.

He did say that he had the money, but that did not mean he would give it away!

Looking awkward, the woman turned to her adopted daughter. “Shishi, how do I address this gentleman?!”

“Mu... Director Mu!”

Yun Na, in the hospital bed, timidly opened her mouth to speak. She looked nervous.

Surprise flashed across her mother’s face. “Nana, do you know him?”

“Yes... mom. He’s Director Mu, the president of Disheng Financial Group.”

Her mother’s face blanched in fright at this title.

Mu... President of the Mu Group, Mu Yazhe?

Everyone had heard of the Mu, this capital’s number one elite family.

Oh, god. This man is the president of the Mu Group?!

“Oh, my, Shishi, this is a big matter. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? When did you start dating Master Mu...” Everyone could hear the vexation in her voice despite the smile on her face. “Then, Shishi, I’ll entrust your sister’s care to you!”

“One million is too much for me, and I don’t have it!” she refused without thinking, and then, after a brief pause, she coldly added, “Please get this straight; even if I have the money, I won’t help!”

Her face stiffened at her adopted daughter’s immediate rebuff, and she almost turned on her.

However, since the man was present, she could only suppress her anger. Turning to him, she pleaded, “Master Mu, as you can see, Nana is Shishi’s sister, and we urgently need this money. What do you think about the 1,000,000 yuan...”

Ignoring her completely, he bowed his head toward Yun Shishi and asked, “What do you think?”

It was obvious that he was asking for her input with this gesture.

There was no hiding the loving indulgence on his face. Clearly, as long as she agreed, this money would mean nothing more than just a string of digits.

Her adoptive mother shot her a hopeful look, only to hear a frigid retort, “You can find your solution; I can’t help you!”

“What do you mean you can’t help me?” Her eyes had turned red from anxiety. “You have Master Mu with you now, right? The Mu Group is rich! Just say the word, and 1,000,000 yuan is nothing in his eyes!”

He could not stand her overt greed.

The rest of the people in the room lamented, as they finally saw her real colors.

What insatiable greed.

Had they misunderstood this lady, then?

Everyone felt apologetic to her in that instant.

Yun Shishi was offended by her words. What is this? Is she blackmailing me into begging with her?!

Her adoptive mother would not give up and shrieked in agitation, “Shishi, are you leaving your sister to die?! Do you want your father to go on his knees in front of you?!”

She was fuming inside her.

Li Qin was now using her father, Yun Yecheng, to threaten her now.

“I’m leaving her to die?”

She abruptly held up her chin and coldly looked into her adoptive mother’s eyes, distinctly spouting, “She’s your daughter and not mine; she’s raised by you and not me! Why am I the one who is always cleaning her mess? You are right; I was adopted by father, but am I your slave? Do I have to sell my life to you before you’re satisfied? How much longer do you intend to exploit me before you stop? Haven’t I been harmed enough by you?”

Li Qin stood there, dumbfounded.

The rest inhaled sharply at her words, too.

She held her pain-ridden head and dully declared, “Er... Li Qin; I won’t call you ‘mother’ from now on, and you don’t acknowledge me as your daughter as well. I don’t need a mother like you! As for Yun Na, good luck to the both of you! I’d be ashamed of myself if I had this kind of daughter!”
