Chapter 170 Third Master Gets the Benefit and Still Acts Innocent

Snap!

As if fireworks were exploding in his mind, the smile on Shao Muyan's face gradually spread across his eyes and the corners of his mouth.

All the pain, struggle, and confusion during this period vanished because of this phone call.

Who says Yu Yan isn't the little sun in his life?

Everyone in the living room was still worried about Shao Muyan, while Shao Mushi was surrounded and scolded until he was covered in bumps, leaving him with only a repentant heart.

He often does this kind of thing, and people are too lazy to say anything to him, because it doesn't make a difference anyway.

“If he does this again next time,” Madam Shao handed the reins directly to Lin Miao, “you should slap him. He won’t learn his lesson if you don’t.”

Shao Mushi pouted and gave his wife a pitiful look.

Lin Miao agreed verbally, but she was actually feeling uneasy inside. After all, she had seen Shao Mushi acting up, but she hadn't stopped him.

To some extent, they were in cahoots.

Hearing footsteps, everyone looked up and were surprised to find that their third young master was walking downstairs with a smile on his face and light steps.

...That smile on her face showed she was completely immersed in love.

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone in the family watched Shao Muyan grow up, but who had ever seen him like this before? He looked as if he were bathed in sunlight, and his already handsome face was now even more dazzling.

This is the concrete manifestation of the power of love in Master Shao.

In just about ten minutes, Shao Muyan's entire demeanor changed.

"You're so fast?" Shao Mushi blurted out.

Shao Muyan looked at him, and Second Master Shao realized that his words were ambiguous, so he immediately changed his tune: "I meant, you finished your call with Yu Yan so quickly? Why didn't you chat for a little longer?"

Shao Muyan was too lazy to pay attention to his second brother. One thing at a time, just because Yu Yan wasn't angry with him didn't mean he wasn't angry with his second brother.

"Yu Yan said, 'It's rare for me to come home, so I want to spend more time chatting with my family.'"

Shao Muyan chuckled, "As for the two of us, there's plenty of time. We'll talk about it when we get back."

Ouch~

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly, having been successfully outshone by the eternal bachelor.

Mrs. Shao pulled her youngest son's arm and made him sit on the sofa. "Yu Yan is a sensible child. But what did you say on the phone? Can Yu Yan really accept what happened to Yunyun?"

Shao Muyan relayed Yu Yan's words to his family, and also described the relationship between Yu Yan and Shao Yun.

"Yu Yan really likes Yunyun, and Yunyun calls Yu Yan 'Auntie' all the time. The two are very close."

Shao Muyan twitched the corner of his mouth. "I still don't know if Yu Yan said she wanted to be with me because she likes me, or because she likes Yunyun."

Upon hearing this, everyone's lips twitched slightly.

Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be unaware.

She clearly knows everything; she's wonderful.

Unable to bear it any longer, Shao Muwen lightly kicked Shao Muyan under the sofa, "That's enough, stop acting innocent after getting the benefit."

Yu Wanqiao was the first to laugh, and everyone else followed suit.

Shao Muyan was indeed getting the benefit but pretending to be innocent.

—

Shao Yun's background is still a big deal. Even if Shao Muyan wants to acknowledge Shao Yun as his father, whether or not to make it public is something the whole family needs to sit down and discuss together.

It's not enough for just their family to discuss it; they also need to discuss it with Shao Min's entire family.

"There's a ton of stuff to do."

Chairman Shao leaned back on the sofa and casually handed his wife a cushion to place behind her back, as Mrs. Shao had a bad back and couldn't sit or stand for long periods of time.

With his large hand reaching behind his wife, Chairman Shao habitually massaged her lower back, and said to Shao Muyan, "Your uncle and aunt dote on Shao Yun, treating him like their own grandson. Not to mention your sister Min, she treats Yunyun like her own son. She probably doesn't know about this yet."

"If you want to take Yunyun back, you'll have to get past her first. Also, right now the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Nobody can say for sure what the reaction will be after Shao Yun's background is revealed."

His deep gaze swept over everyone: "You all need to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid this wave is aimed at our Shao family."

Everyone's expressions were somewhat solemn.

They were not afraid; after all, they were capable people who could handle things, and they weren't afraid if something really happened.

However, this feeling of not knowing the enemy's true strength was indeed not good. Not only did Shao Muyan dislike it, but they all found it annoying as well.

If this matter isn't resolved, it will be like a thorn stuck in their hearts, constantly bothering them.

“Let’s solve them one by one,” Yu Wanqiao said.

The Shao family has no rule that women cannot speak; everyone treats each other as equals and can all sit at the card table.

Everyone should use their skills and work together as one; that's what makes a family.

Yu Wanqiao looked at Shao Muyan: "Before we reveal Yunyun's background, we need to reach a consensus within the family first. It's easy to deal with Amin. We've always been one family. Yunyun is your own son, so Amin will only be happier. You don't need to worry too much. Just say what you need to say. As for the collateral branches... everyone has been keeping an eye on Shao Yun all these years. There will definitely be some discordant voices. We need to prepare in advance."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The reason why the uncles and cousins ​​of the collateral branches of the Shao family were keeping an eye on Shao Yun was mainly because they were worried that he would compete for the position of Shao family heir in the future.

The two most prosperous branches of the Shao family today are Chairman Shao and his eldest uncle, Shao Muyan.

Uncle Shao and his wife only have one daughter, Shao Min, who is the type to refuse to get married no matter what. As for Chairman Shao, his three sons are all successful in their own way, but they also have their own ideas.

When Shao Muwen chose to join the army, it was equivalent to giving up his right to inherit the Shao family business. After marrying Yu Wanqiao, he had a son named Shao Jing, who would not go into business in the future.

Shao Muyan is recognized by the family as the smartest and most promising member, but he is too smart. He is devoted to scientific research and has no interest in doing business.

Of the three sons, the one with the best business sense was actually the second son, Shao Mushi, who was mischievous and reckless since childhood.

As the president of Shao Corporation, Shao Mushi was seen by many as a candidate to succeed Chairman Shao. However, Shao Mushi had no such ambition and only thought about his wife, children, and comfortable home. To him, the position of president was just a job.

Since neither he nor Lin Miao intended to have children, the collateral branches of the Shao family began to stir, wanting to send their own children to the Shao family.

Until Shao Yun appeared.

Although Shao Yun grew up in the Shao family as Shao Min's adopted son, there was a hunch within the family that Shao Yun was probably the Shao family's illegitimate son, otherwise why would the three Shao brothers bring him along to every important occasion?

Even on occasions where Shao Jing, the eldest grandson, was absent, Shao Yun was present.

"Ayan, you should know that Dad wants to groom Shao Yun to be the heir to the Shao Group, right?"

Yu Wanqiao said to Shao Muyan.

Shao Muyan looked up. He knew, but... "That depends on Yunyun's willingness."

"He is willing."

Chairman Shao took over the conversation and told Shao Muyan firmly, "Yunyun and I have already talked about this privately. He said that as long as the Shao family needs him, he will take on the responsibilities of the Shao family in the future."

Shao Muyan's pupils shrank suddenly; he had no idea about this.

That little brat has some big ideas!
