Chapter 31: Chapter 30: Mr. Xiao Wants Mu Ran as His Granddaughter-in-law

Yesterday, when Yang Yingying mentioned that her brother and younger brother were asking for money, she noticed something was off.

Even though they occasionally asked Yang Yingying for money, it was always in the thousands, never starting at five hundred thousand or ending at ten million.

Because they knew Yang Yingying’s salary was eight thousand, and the cost of living in Hai City is high, they never intended to starve her, or where would they get money from later?

But now, inexplicably, they found out she had a wealthy boyfriend and even knew the exact address, daring to come to her door to ask for money.

Mu Ran hired a private investigator to thoroughly investigate who leaked this information about Yang Yingying and why they needed so much money.

The results of the investigation left her speechless.

Yang Yingying’s wealthy boyfriend was a story from her mother, but the reason she said such things was because someone threatened to chop off her husband and son’s hands!

Because the father and son owed more than three million!!!

If there was no money, they would die.

Yang Yingying’s mother had no choice.

Mu Ran looked at the email, unsure whether to send a message to Yang Yingying.

But gambling—

Is a bottomless pit!!!

Pressing the send button, Mu Ran sent a voice message to Yang Yingying: “Don’t panic, don’t cry, don’t worry, you’re not dead, the ones who should die are them, no matter what, you still have me.”

After speaking, she lifted her skirt and got off the car angrily. The Xiao family’s estate was vast, with a back mountain and an artificial lake lined with slender willows, and ancient buildings with intricate structures. Every part was exquisitely praiseworthy, the calligraphy and paintings on the walls, the porcelain, each invaluable.

The low-key luxury of the Xiao family’s estate couldn’t exist without the Xiao family’s business, which spans domestic and international markets across various industries.

The Xiao family rose primarily due to two people.

Mr. Xiao.

Xiao Yu’an’s late mother, Jiang Zaihong.

Both were legendary figures, while Xiao Yu’an’s biological father was a scoundrel, a wastrel, and an idiot.

A complete waste of talent.

The Xiao family’s industry spread was also extraordinary, finance, dining, entertainment, museums, etc.—any industry known to the public almost invariably involved the Xiao family.

Hence, even someone like Mu Dixin wouldn’t refuse an invitation from the Xiao family.

He specifically took Mu Ran to meet Mr. Xiao.

Mu Dixin felt it was necessary for his sister to gain more experience, so she wouldn’t be easily deceived by others.

Alright then.

Mu Ran being deceived was too far-fetched. In reality, he wanted to show everyone that he and his stubborn sister finally made peace, not arguing anymore.

Even though it seemed like they held immense grudges against each other, it didn’t matter; their relationship would improve over time.

Mu Dixin was deluding himself.

These absurd remarks were even more ridiculous than the brainwashing he did with shareholders!!

Many people present brightened up when they saw Mu Dixin and Mu Ran; this brother and sister duo was the pinnacle of beauty in high society.

Earlier, it was said they had cut off contact after a fallout, yet they showed up together today, although Mu Ran’s expression looked rather unpleasant.

She didn’t even bother to fake it.

Mu Dixin lowered his voice, gritted his teeth beside her: “Could you at least look a bit better? No one’s eighty hundred thousand dollars in debt to you.”

“What does it matter if no one owes me eighty hundred thousand dollars? No one’s giving me that much either, so why should I put on a pleasant face? Moreover, don’t I look good now? I’m so beautiful that everyone’s admiring my beauty already, it’s just you being picky. You’re so ugly and so critical; honestly, I wonder why my sister-in-law fell for you, isn’t she blind?! You with such a bad temper, ugly looks, and no talent, how could you possibly be worthy of her!”

Mu Ran rolled her eyes after speaking.

Mu Dixin was deeply frustrated by her one-sentence responses that could top a hundred responses: “I may have a bad temper and ugly looks, but that’s still better than not having a partner! My sister-in-law and I were childhood sweethearts, and you have nothing.”

“That’s because I’m not a man. If I were, I would’ve won over my brother’s wife. Then you’d be all alone!” Mu Ran shot him a cold glance, “With your kind of charm, how could you possibly compete with me!”

Mu Dixin: “!!!”

Having such a sister.

High blood pressure in an instant.

“Get lost, don’t you dare covet your sister-in-law. I’m sure I will grow old together with her.”

“That’s uncertain. My sister-in-law’s company has so many handsome men. If one of them flirts with her, she might think, oh, this man is really much better than my husband!” Mu Ran said sarcastically.

Mu Dixin was so angry he wanted to leave, questioning a thousand times why he brought her to this banquet: “Your sister-in-law says no man outside can match me, don’t you try to wreck our marriage.”

“This is considered sabotage? I haven’t even introduced her to the handsome guys I know.” Mu Ran smiled.

“Mu Ran!!!”

“Keep your voice down, you’re in such a large gathering, and you don’t even have any manners.” Mu Ran snickered, “Can’t even manage a facial expression properly, that’s embarrassing for someone who runs a big corporation, tsk tsk tsk.”

Mu Dixin was so vexed that his temples throbbed, and his head started to ache!

Why on earth was he so fixated on restoring a normal relationship with this sister, was he insane?

Wouldn’t a few years of peaceful life be better?

Why must people seek self-inflicted suffering?

Is it because life was too good?!

Mu Dixin suppressed his rage and led Mu Ran to Mr. Xiao.

When dealing with others, he was always calm and collected. For instance, now, despite being furious just moments ago, he switched to a working mode facing Mr. Xiao, greeting with a composed posture.

But as soon as his sister spoke.

His perfectly set facial expression cracked instantly!

Because Xiao Baocang, Mr. Xiao’s “little grandson,” greeted Mu Ran.

Mu Ran asked, “Who are you?”

Mu Dixin: “!!”

Really, was she blind? That was the Xiao family’s illegitimate child, something that happened decades ago, and she only knew about it now? What kind of things were in her head?!

Mu Dixin apologized to the awkward-looking Xiao Baocang: “Sorry, my sister has been filming lately, and she’s a bit confused.”

Mu Ran: “You’re the one who’s confused.”

Mu Dixin closed his eyes, no anger, no hitting; she was his own sister!

“Mr. Xiao, I’ll take her away now.”

Mr. Xiao waved his hand, knowing the young girl from the Mu family, a little tyrant in the circle, who never knew how to read people’s faces and had no manners from childhood to now.

But precisely because she never understood the rules, people became accustomed to her way of doing things.

Now, it’s normal for her not to give face to his son’s illegitimate child.

However…

Mr. Xiao suddenly took a deep look at Mu Ran; this girl was fierce.

He had heard she bullied others from a young age.

If she could bully his eldest grandson into good business practices, that’d be quite nice.

Previously he introduced competent but somewhat gentle people to his eldest grandson.

This little tyrant was different.

Explosive at a moment’s notice!

Perfectly fits to discipline his eldest grandson!

But not sure if the two could get along, hope they manage his family member and that little tyrant doesn’t refuse to date his grandson.

Mr. Xiao glanced at his eldest grandson and noticed his eyes closely following Mu Ran, and a smile curled at his lips.

Oh, young love.

The gleam of affection can’t be hidden.

But indeed, that girl is pretty, quite a personality, seems it would be interesting to associate with her.
