Lin Fang could only nod when she saw Bai Su’s insistence.

She dragged her exhausted body up the stairs with difficulty with the help of Mu Chen. She looked extremely lonely.

Bai Su watched her leave and her heart ached.

She had disappointed Lin Fang in the end.

As soon as Lin Fang and Mu Chen left, Mu Xing and Rong Xiu immediately revealed vicious looks. Rong Xiu’s previous gentle demeanor disappeared and she snorted. “A crow is a crow. You can’t become a phoenix even

if you go from rags to riches. There will be a day when you fall from grace.”

Bai Su smiled lightly and ignored Rong Xiu’s sarcastic remark.

She probably wouldn’t see Rong Xiu again in the future. She could say whatever she wanted.

“Also, don’t go to Professor Guan’s project team! Who knows what tricks you’ve used to get in? I don’t want to see you every day!” Mu Xing took the opportunity to kick her when she was down. She remembered that

Professor Guan thought highly of Bai Su and made her in charge of many important projects. Mu Xing could only do some things an assistant would do.

The entire project team knew that she came in through the back door. It was inevitable that they would discuss it behind her back.

Mu Xing didn’t want to admit it, but she was always inferior to Bai Su in the project team.

“Why? I entered the project team with my own capabilities.” Bai Su widened her eyes and tried to argue. “Professor Guan had already recruited me half a year ago and asked me to join his project. I didn’t even know

your brother at that time, so what could I do?”

She got a spot on the project’s team fair and square.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Professor Guan directly. If he says anything about me being unsuitable for the project team, | will immediately pack up and leave!”

Bai Su was very confident.

“Even if it was Professor Guan who asked you to join the team, you have to leave if I don’t like it! Otherwise, if 1 ask the Mu Corporation to withdraw their funds, your entire project will be ruined.” Mu Xing was

aggressive and refused to back down.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Mu Chen came down the stairs. He had heard everything that Mu Xing had said.

“Bro, I’m doing this because I don’t want Bai Su to pester you anymore. Besides, Miss Lan is also on the project team. What if she misunderstands your relationship with Bai Su?” Mu Xing felt intimidated, but she still

insisted.

“This is an investment by the Mu Corporation. It’s a project led by the government. How can we withdraw our investment just like that? Do you want the entire A City to see the Mu Corporation as a joke? Or do you

want the Mu Corporation to be sued? Will you pay the exorbitant penalty?”

Mu Chen didn’t have a good temper, not to mention that Mu Xing was really audacious.

Mu Xing looked at Mu Chen timidly and quickly corrected herself. “I didn’t think that the project would fail. I just didn’t want Bai Su to stay on the project team. Without her, the project team can still proceed

smoothly.”

Mu Chen remained calm as he asked Mu Xing, “Then, who will take over Bai Su’s job after she leaves the project team?”

Before Mu Xing could change her words, Mu Chen continued.

“Are you going to do it? Unfortunately, you’re not capable enough. Those things aren’t something you can do. Since you can’t do it, don’t play underhanded tricks behind people’s backs. If you have the capability and

you’re really better than Bai Su, take her spot!”

“To”

Mu Xing blushed. However, Mu Chen was right. She had tried her best for a long time. She couldn’t find any words to refute him.

“There’s no room for discussion.”

After Mu Chen made the decision, he signaled for Bai Su to follow him upstairs. Bai Su nodded her head and followed behind Mu Chen.

“I’m his sister.”

As Mu Xing watched them leave, she felt wronged and sat on the sofa angrily. Not only did Mu Chen not side with her, but he even defended Bai Su.

“Xing’er, bear with it for now.”

Rong Xiu comforted Mu Xing.

“But how long do I have to endure it? Do I have any say in this family?”

Bai Su was bullying them.

“Don’t worry, this humiliation won’t last long,” Rong Xiu comforted.

“Lin Fang is one of the founders of the Mu Corporation. She holds 20% of the Mu Corporation’s shares. Your brother has 10%, while I have 5%. According to Lin Fang’s will, after she dies, Mu Chen, I, and you will get

30% of the shares. At that time, we will have more shares combined than Mu Chen alone. He will have to listen to us.”

Lin Fang was getting more and more sick. Her days were numbered. As long as Lin Fang died, their good days would come.

“Alright.” Mu Xing nodded and smiled..
