Chapter 20 : Girl, You’re Awesome!
Mu Siyin’s eyebrows were locked into a frown. After pondering for a moment, she could not suppress the anger within herself anymore and said softly, “I don’t care about them either, but ultimately, half of Mu Corporation is the result of my mom’s efforts…
“And the old witch said that if I don’t help resolve their financial troubles, she’ll…”
When she came to this, Mu Siyin stopped speaking. She was reluctant to reveal to Lu Jingchen what her life had been like with the Mu family.
“What will she do?!” Lu Jingchen was infuriated.
Without looking up, Mu Siyin whispered, “She’ll move my mom and sister out of the Mu family graveyard…”
“How dare she!!”
As soon as Mu Siyin finished her sentence, Lu Jingchen shouted furiously.
Mu Siyin sighed helplessly. “Cuz, for a person like her, there’s nothing that she won’t dare to do.”
Lu Jingchen was pissed off by Old Madam Mu’s actions. He looked at Mu Siyin and said, “Yinyin, listen closely. The Lu and Mu families might have severed their ties, but grandpa won’t turn a blind eye to issues involving my aunt and cousin. If she wants to do that, we won’t mind making a hoo-ha again!”
What Lu Jingchen said touched Mu Siyin. In both her past and current lives, he had secretly helped her a lot without his parents’ knowledge.
“Cuz… I know you’re angry, but if you want to make a hoo-ha, she’ll use the graveyard issue to threaten all of you. My mom and sister were laid to rest in the graveyard twelve years ago, and I don’t want to disturb them because of this.
“Besides, grandpa hasn’t been well for the past two years. It won’t be worth it if he’s enraged.”
When she recalled how her grandfather became unconscious and eventually passed away because of this matter, Mu Siyin reminded Lu Jingchen, “Cuz, you must promise me. Grandpa mustn’t learn about this!”
Lu Jingchen listened with a huge scowl on his face. “Understood, so what do you want to do now? Get Shi Beiyu’s help?”
Mu Siyin shook her head. “I don’t want to trouble him.”
“Why not? He’s the most powerful man in the capital, and you’re better off getting his help instead of other people’s!” Lu Jingchen looked at his cousin as if she were an idiot.
Lowering her head, Mu Siyin rubbed her fingers and whispered, “I don’t want him to think that I became his girlfriend because of his money.”
Lu Jingchen was bewildered. “Yinyin, you aren’t in love with him, are you?”
Mu Siyin was embarrassed. “Sigh, Cuz, don’t ask me about this again. Simply put, I’m not going to seek his help.”
As a matter of fact, she was very confused about her feelings for Shi Beiyu right now. She was not certain whether she stayed with him out of gratitude, or because… she genuinely loved him.
After all, they could take time to develop their feelings for each other. In this lifetime, she only had eyes for him alone!
Lu Jingchen looked at her helplessly. “Why though? He’s extremely wealthy, and to him, investing some of his money in Mu Corporation is nothing…”
With raised eyebrows, Mu Siyin insisted, “I don’t care if it’s nothing to him, I’m not going to seek his help. Please help me to look around tomorrow, I’m urgently in need of someone willing to collaborate with Mu Corporation.”
Lu Jingchen did not know what to say either. “May I ask what you’re going to offer in return?”
Mu Siyin instantly answered him, “The shares… I shall give whoever’s willing to invest in Mu Corporation ten percent of the shares!”
Lu Jingchen’s lips twitched and he stared at Mu Siyin. “Yinyin, are you serious? It’s not like you can give something like that away so easily, and it’s ten percent we’re talking about!”
Mu Siyin replied, “I’ll exchange thirty percent of my shares with that old witch and Li Tongzhi. It’s all worth it, no matter what.”
Lu Jingchen’s mouth dropped…
Mu Siyin grinned. “Cuz, isn’t my idea amazing?”
Lu Jingchen blinked and patted her shoulder. “Girl, you’re awesome!”
