Chapter 37 - I Will Pay You Back

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“There’s something else.”

Bai Su looked a little troubled and her tone was more negotiable than before. “You gave me a million yuan back then. At that time, we agreed that we could only cancel the agreement after Grandma passed away. Now,

we’re canceling it because of you, Young Master Mu, so…”

Although Gu Yan was missing now, she would definitely find him and that money would come in handy.

“Or you can treat it as a loan and I will return it.” Worried that Mu Chen would go back on his words, Bai Su added.

Mu Chen looked at Bai Su with a cold expression.

She seemed to value money a lot. This wasn’t the first time she had emphasized that she couldn’t take back a million yuan. She had also said so confidently the last time.

He didn’t care about a million yuan. In fact, a million yuan wasn’t even enough to stuff his teeth with.

However, when Bai Su suggested it, Mu Chen felt uneasy.

“Where are you going to earn a million yuan? The average wage in City A is ten thousand yuan, which means that if you don’t eat and drink, it will take at least eight years. Do you think I have such good patience?” He

raised his eyebrows slightly. When he thought about how she was asking for this money for Gu Yan, he felt even more uncomfortable.

“There’s no need to take so long. I can be faster. I’m already in charge of the professor’s project team.” Bai Su hurriedly refuted Mu Chen.

Although, a million yuan was definitely a huge sum to her.

“Your current project is under the jurisdiction of the city government. It’s almost a purely public service project. Even if I give you compensation, it’s probably only three to five thousand yuan.” This design project was

led by the city government. The public service project funded by the Mu family yielded no profit at all.

“Although this project isn’t lucrative, Professor Guan has already said that he still has a few projects he wants me to participate in. There are also other companies or individuals who tried to recruit me. After the project

is finished, I will have better opportunities.”

This was why most people wanted to get into the professor’s project team. Although this project wasn’t lucrative, it was definitely a bonus on their resumes and would be beneficial for their careers in the future.

As an important participant in the project, although Bai Su had yet to graduate, she had already attracted a lot of attention.

Among them was even the boss of Mu Corporation’s design department.

“Oh.” Mu Chen only snorted lightly and didn’t express his opinion.

He wanted to tease Bai Su a little more, but there was a hurried knocking on the door.

Reluctantly, Mu Chen opened the kitchen door and Rong Xiu squeezed in. Although she was anxious, she was still afraid of Mu Chen. She took a few steps back and said, “Mu Chen, I have something to tell you.”

She then glanced at Bai Su, who was standing inside, and her expression instantly darkened.

“You come out too.”

The two of them returned to the living room one after another. Mu Xing sat beside Lin Fang and obediently massaged her legs. Unfortunately, Lin Fang didn’t like this. She only smiled when she saw Bai Su come out.

“Lan Sheng called me just now and mentioned the marital agreement between the two families. He asked when we can put it on the agenda.” Rong Xiu didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

She had heard Mu Xing mention Yun Jin and also met her at the Lan family’s banquet. She was a very beautiful and gentle young lady.

Moreover, even if Yun Jin had an ordinary appearance and a bad personality, she was still the daughter of the Lan family. Bai Su was just a girl who grew up in an orphanage. How could she compare to her?

“It’s just a marital agreement from many years ago. Is there a need to be so concerned about it?” Lin Fang pulled a long face and was very unhappy. “Marital agreements are the remnants of feudal society. It doesn’t

count. And now that the children are older, they should pursue their own happiness. Give me the phone, I’ll tell Lan Sheng myself.”

Lan Sheng was a big shot in the military, but she had never been afraid of him.

“But the Lan family and us are well-matched in terms of social status.” Mu Xing persuaded from the side while she glanced at Bai Su with a complacent gaze.

She was finally leaving!

“So what if we’re well-matched in terms of family background? The most important thing is for them to like each other. Isn’t the Mu family rich enough? Do we still have to suck up to the Lan family?” Lin Fang tapped

her walking stick angrily. In any case, no matter how Rong Xiu tried to persuade her, she wouldn’t agree.

“Mom, don’t make the decision so quickly. Mu Chen and Yun Jin might really be in love with each other. General Lan personally told me that Yun Jin is carrying Mu Chen’s child!”

Lin Fang was so shocked that her mouth was agape as she stared at Mu Chen.

“Is… is this true?”.
