Mu En shook his head. "It's useless for Chen Su. The matter with Zhou Le can only be put aside and played down. Saying anything now will only make things worse."
He was careless and underestimated Chen Su's temper. After all, since their relationship became clear, Chen Su's attitude towards him was quite normal, so normal that he almost forgot that Chen Su was a girl with a famous bad temper.
He originally thought that after having made things clear in front of both parents, Chen Su would at least be more sensible.
Unexpectedly, Shen Su really didn't care.
"You, find someone to approach Wan Yang and find out whether the two of them ran into us on purpose or unintentionally that day, and then see if Wan Yang can help. Promise her a future. As long as she can help, any conditions are fine." Mu En felt that he could only try his best.
Lin Xu's eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think there was such a key person! Okay, I'll do it right away!"
Lin Xu turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait——" Mu En called him.
"We have the ability to make her famous and reach the pinnacle by using both kindness and force, and we also have the ability to make her unable to recover for the rest of her life." Mu En's tone was calm.
Lin Xu knew that the calmer his tone, the angrier he was. No wonder, in such a passive situation, it was good enough that the Second Young Master didn't lose his temper.
He quickly responded, "Don't worry, Second Young Master, I'll definitely get it done!"
On the other side, Shen Su was sleeping on the sofa in Shen Bai's living room.
Chen Bai's figure was already very clumsy. She held her belly and pushed Chen Su, saying angrily, "Hurry up and get up! I know you are pretending to sleep! When your brother-in-law comes back and sees you like this, how rude it will be!"
Shen Su got up very reluctantly, being careful not to bump into Shen Bai, muttering, "Why would he come back at this time? Is his company going to go bankrupt? Isn't he busy?"
Chen Bai reached out and stroked her hair: "Can't you hope for him to get better? You can't vent your anger."
When she put her hand down, she saw the tears on her sister's face. Her heart softened and she sighed. She sat down next to Shen Su: "Have you been to grandpa and grandma's? Have you told them?"
Shen Su shook her head and inserted her fingers into her hair, not moving for a long time.
Chen Bai took Chen Su's hand and said, "What's wrong? Is it so difficult? I'll accompany you to see grandma. Grandma won't blame you for helping your relatives and not your wife. You should go and tell her as soon as possible to avoid complications that will make things more difficult."
Shen Su held Shen Bai's hand with her backhand and said in a crying voice: "Sister, my mother really stood on Mu En's side. She doesn't care whether I am hurt or not."
Shen Bai finally understood why her sister was sad. She was not surprised, but she felt sad for Shen Su.
She patted the back of her sister's hand and whispered, "Let's go see grandma. Don't let them get there first. If grandma makes the final decision first, you'll be in a passive position, and it will also put grandpa and grandma in a passive position."
She glanced at her sister and lowered her eyes. "As long as grandpa and grandma are still here, no one else can do whatever they want in this family."
Her tone was firm.
Chen Su felt very uncomfortable.
Yu Ling waited until Shen Yi got off work before returning to the old house with him. She didn't have the courage to go back to the old house to challenge the old man and the old lady, even if she wanted to take her own daughter back.
In this family, even the dog that the old man keeps in the back garden has a higher status than her.
Shen Yi already knew the whole story, so when he saw Shen Su, his face immediately darkened, "Why don't you go home? What are you always hiding here for?"
Shen Su leaned closer to grandma.
Ning Xin glanced at her son, not even glancing at Yu Ling. She said indifferently, "Isn't this her home? She can come and keep the old lady company when she's free, right? This child is very filial! Her sister isn't well, but she's happy with her company. Are you blaming her or complaining about us old, careless children?"
Shen Yi's arrogance immediately subsided, and he smiled and said, "Mom, I didn't mean that. Look at what you said, aren't you going to wrongly accuse my son of death?"
Ning Xin rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you also want to wrongfully kill your daughter?"
Chen Yi was helpless and could only say, "Mom, this child is too willful. She's quarreling with Mu En for no reason and insisting on breaking up. You said that these two families have a clear path forward and are well-matched. Mu En's child is not bad either. Where else can you find such a good marriage? She insists on making a fuss and won't listen to anyone's advice. She's really ignorant!"
Shen Yi glared at Shen Su sternly.
Shen Su turned her head away and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her face.
Ning Xin didn't bother to listen to a word her son said, and said patiently, "I know about this. I even asked someone to investigate, and it's true that the boy from the Mu family has bad character. I agree to break up with Chen Su, and I've also informed Mu Chen. There's no need for a girl from our family to get married."
"If you haven't managed the family business well, it's because you men are incompetent. Don't even think about getting girls to marry you off! If you admit you're incompetent, then speak up and give up your positions. Naturally, talented and virtuous women will take your place, and they'll do just as well as you."
Shen Yi was speechless.
In this family, the old man is nominally the head of the family, but the real person in power is the old lady. She is the one who has the final say, and the old man has always listened to her all his life.
When she was young, she also had a hot temper. Now that she is older, especially her grandchildren who love her, her temper has become much calmer than when she was young, like a different person.
But Shen Yi knew very well that even if he was scolded by the old man, he should not dislike the old lady.
Seeing him wilting, Yu Ling couldn't help but get anxious. She gently pulled his arm, glared at Chen Su, and said with a smile, "Mom, Mu En came home today to apologize. He was very sincere. The eldest lady of the Mu family also came and pleaded for her son, saying that it was all a misunderstanding."
"For children from a family like ours, there are also girls out there who rush up to them. Mu En is truly wronged this time. Chen Su, you shouldn't just hide away. Just meet with Mu En and have a good talk. If there's any knot in your heart, wouldn't it be better if you could just untie it?"
"Is there anything to talk about? I saw it with my own eyes, not hearsay." Shen Su finally spoke, facing her biological parents.
"So what? Sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be true. You should consider Mu En's feelings. You should listen to what he says. What if there is another hidden story? Don't you think so?" Yu Ling coaxed.
Chen Yi said in a deep voice: "That's right, your mother is right. If there is something wrong, just face it directly and talk it out. Why are you hiding? Isn't it normal for a man as outstanding as Mu En to have a few ambiguous partners? Why are you so petty? As long as he puts you in the most important position, it's okay. How can the daughter-in-law of a big family not be magnanimous?"
