Mu Chen’s looked conflicted. In the end, he still nodded his head.

Although he was drugged, he had to be responsible for Yun Jin and bear the consequences of that incident.

“You’ve always been levelheaded. Why did you mess around?!” Lin Fang was so angry that she kept knocking on her walking stick.

“Grandma, my brother and Yun Jin are both adults. It’s normal for them to do that sort of thing. Besides, our families are similar, and Yun Jin is a well-bred young lady from a prominent family. They’re compatible!”

Mu Xing added, “She’s thousands of times better than Bai Su’s.”

“What do you know? What does a brat like you know? Mind your own business. Every time you get into trouble, you make us clean up your mess!”

Lin Fang glared at Mu Xing and scolded her.

Mu Xing had never suffered such grievance before. She glared at Bai Su.

[t was all her fault!

ff she hadn’t bewitched her grandma, she wouldn’t have been scolded!

“Mom, Mu Xing is still a child. Don’t take it to heart.”

‘ong Xiu quickly came forward to smooth things over. She observed Lin Fang’s expression as she spoke.

“But Mu Chen made Yun Jin pregnant. This is an indisputable fact. We should give the Lan family an explanation.”

‘ong Xiu wasn’t as straightforward as Mu Xing, but she had also expressed her stance. At the same time, she placed pressure on Lin Fang.

Lin Fang frowned and paused.

“Even if that’s the case, there’s no need for Mu Chen to marry her. We can use other things to compensate the Lan family. For example, money or shares. If it really doesn’t work, take my life!”

“Grandma!”

Mu Chen stopped Lin Fang. What nonsense was she talking about?!

Lin Fang also knew that she was going overboard, but she really couldn’t bear to part with Bai Su. She had taken a liking to Bai Su with a single glance. Furthermore, she had seen how Mu Chen and Bai Su interacted

these few days. She believed that in time, the two of them would definitely be able to develop feelings for each other.

“The granddaughter-in-law that I, Lin Fang, acknowledge will only be Bai Su.”

Bai Su was moved when she heard this. No one had ever stood on her side as determinedly as Lin Fang, and no one had always defended her as she did.

She was an orphan and had never known what familial affection was. She also regarded Lin Fang as her grandmother from the bottom of her heart.

“The Lan family isn’t involved in the business world. Why would they want the Mu family’s shares? Furthermore, these are the Mu family’s shares. It’s not appropriate to give them to outsiders. As for money, the Lan

family doesn’t lack it.” Rong Xiu shook her head gently and pressured her a little. “What they want is the Mu family to give them an explanation.”

“Um, can I say something?” Bai Su moved forward.

“What right do you have to speak here?” Rong Xiu glared at her fiercely. She had already guessed what Bai Su would say. She would probably make things up because she didn’t want to leave the Mu family.

After all, how could she be willing to return to the orphanage when she could marry into the wealthy Mu family?

“Shut up.” Lin Fang scolded Rong Xiu before changing her demeanor again. She looked at Bai Su gently and said, “Bai Su, tell me. You’re the person I feel most guilty about now. I’ll listen to whatever you say.”

Bai Su slowly exhaled.

“Grandma, Mu Chen and I have been faking our marriage from the start. We have already agreed that when the time is ripe, we will explain it to you and divorce. I’m sorry for lying to you.”

As she spoke, Bai Su bowed to her.

Lin Fang looked at Bai Su in surprise and her eyes dimmed. At her age, she was quite wise, so she could guess what Bai Su wanted to say.

“The Mu family and the Lan family had an marital agreement to begin with. Mu Chen and Yun Jin both like each other. Now that they have a child, it’s natural for them to get married. I also want to leave this place and

start my own life.”

Bai Su smiled.

“It’s just that I can’t bear to part with you. Can I come back to see you when I’m free?”

This was the only request she had.

“You child, what nonsense are you talking about? If you want to come back, then come back. I want to see who dares to stop you!” Lin Fang coughed non-stop. “But have you really thought it through? Are you really

going to divorce Mu Chen?”

Mu Chen glanced at Bai Su. Although this was the result of their discussion and the best plan…

He actually hoped that Bai Su would go back on her words.

Mu Chen was puzzled as to why he would have such thoughts.

Bai Su nodded lightly and said with certainty, “Grandma, I’ve already thought it through.”.
