Chapter 115.
Inside the antique teahouse box, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. Xu Baiqing sat there very patiently, waiting for Grandpa Mu and Mu Zexuan to first tell her why they were looking for her. Of course, this was also because Xu Baiqing had nothing to worry about.
"Bai Qing, thank you very much for helping me." Mu Zexuan couldn't hold back his anger and spoke first. He thought that Xu Baiqing was not completely indifferent to him because he took the initiative to remind him about the Shen family, so he strongly supported his grandfather's desire to contact Xu Baiqing.
He also knew that if his grandfather was willing to stand behind him, he would be more confident in convincing his parents. After all, what happened at his grandfather's birthday party made him realize that his parents actually had some opinions about Xu Baiqing.
But the situation is different this time. Although the family is in crisis, if Xu Baiqing can help them, his parents will not be able to interfere in his feelings.
Although Xu Baiqing didn't know what Mu Zexuan was thinking, his gaze made Xu Baiqing feel something was wrong. He always felt that he was thinking about something very rude, so Xu Baiqing lowered his eyes and avoided Mu Zexuan's gaze.
She still needs to deal with these two people from the Mu family. It is not good to leave now. She can only endure it temporarily. Xu Baiqing did not respond to Mu Zexuan's words because she knew that the person who was in charge of this conversation was Grandpa Mu, so she was waiting for Grandpa Mu to speak.
"Alas," Old Master Mu took a sip from the teacup in front of him, then sighed and said, "Miss Xu, my grandson is right. Thank you for telling him the key information."
Old Master Mu had been observing Xu Baiqing since she entered the box, so he naturally realized that it was completely the Prince of Xiang who had the intention, but the goddess had no intention. It was just that his grandson was unwilling to admit it.
Moreover, Mr. Mu also noticed that Xu Baiqing was actually wary of the tea he served her. Not only did he not feel offended, but he also appreciated Xu Baiqing's caution.
It can only be said that he failed to notice Xu Baiqing's excellence at his birthday party. After all, it was a good opportunity at that time. It's a pity that it may be difficult now. However, in order to save the Mu family, he can only win over all the forces he can.
After all, the Shen family has begun to expose their ambitions in front of Qian Yirong, which means that they are actually ready. The Mu family is really at the moment of life and death, so Mr. Mu will personally take action to meet with the junior Xu Baiqing.
"I've already said it just now. Classmate Mu helped me in school before. I was just returning the favor." Xu Baiqing said politely without taking any credit for it.
"Excuse me for offending you, Miss Xu. I have heard about you and Miss Qian Yirong. I wonder..." Seeing that Xu Baiqing was not moved by his words, Mr. Mu could only reveal some of his plans.
"Grandpa." Mu Zexuan interrupted Grandpa Mu unhappily. He had always felt that Xu Baiqing being forced to stay with Qian Yirong must be unbearable for Xu Baiqing. Now that his grandfather brought up this matter, it must be very uncomfortable for Xu Baiqing.
"The relationship between Rongrong and me is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. I hope Mr. Mu will not mention this matter." Xu Baiqing's face showed a bit of complexity just right, and she avoided the topic.
"Sorry, I spoke out of turn." Old Master Mu had already seen a lot from Xu Baiqing's reaction. At the same time, he felt a little disappointed with Mu Zexuan's anxious look. He glared at Mu Zexuan who interrupted him.
"Actually, it's like this. Zexuan and I attach great importance to the information you gave us, so we went to investigate immediately. Just as you told us, the Shen family really intends to take action against our Mu family..." Grandpa Mu said seriously.
"Is it really okay to tell me this kind of thing?" Xu Baiqing asked in confusion.
"It doesn't matter. You are an insider anyway, and the Shen family is trying to make Qian Yirong an ally. This is something our Mu family doesn't want to see." Old Master Mu said.
"What do you want me to do?" Xu Baiqing realized what Mr. Mu meant from his words and asked directly.
"You are really smart. If my good-for-nothing son was half as smart as you, our Mu family wouldn't be in this situation now..." Old Man Mu didn't expect that Xu Baiqing guessed that he had something to ask her, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Please forgive me for investigating your situation before. Now you are caught between Qian Yirong and the Qian family. It must be very difficult for you, right?" Grandpa Mu apologized first, then said.
Xu Baiqing fell silent upon hearing this. Her behavior made Mr. Mu more confident in his own judgment. Although he was a little skeptical when he heard the news that Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing were suspected to be in a relationship, Qian Yirong's behavior of letting Xu Baiqing act as the agent for her shares in Qian's company and letting Xu Baiqing take over Qian's company showed that Qian Yirong valued Xu Baiqing.
Even if they were not in that so-called romantic relationship, Xu Baiqing must be someone who could influence Qian Yirong. The Shen family won over the Li and Qu families, and also wanted to bring Qian Yirong, the upstart business man, on board to divide the Mu family, just to be sure of nothing going wrong.
After all, although Qian Yirong has not grown to their current level, her development potential is already visible to the naked eye. If they leave Qian Yirong alone, the Shen family will not be able to attack the Mu family with all their strength. They must retain some strength to prevent Qian Yirong from taking advantage of the situation.
However, although the Mu family has not developed well in the past decade or so, if they are forced to fight to the death, the counterattack they launch will make it difficult for the Shen family and the Li and Qu families to cope with it. If they do not fight with all their strength, they may all perish.
Therefore, even if Qian Yirong did not get involved in this matter and expressed her intention to remain neutral, the Shen family would not be at ease. That is why they wanted to pull Qian Yirong into the team to divide the Mu family. Not only would they not have to guard against Qian Yirong, but they could even let the Mu family launch the biggest counterattack against Qian Yirong. At that time, they might be able to take over Qian Yirong's company and kill two birds with one stone.
After collecting all the information, Mr. Mu considered the result and felt both panicked and relieved. Fortunately, things did not develop to an irreversible situation. In fact, because of advance preparation, he could not only survive this crisis, but might even make further progress.
"I don't know what this matter has to do with Mr. Mu. What do you want me to do?" Xu Baiqing avoided the question.
"I can help you..." Mr. Mu went straight to the point and said.
"Help me?" Xu Baiqing looked up at him in confusion.
"Actually, this is a very easy problem to solve..." Seeing that Xu Baiqing was interested, Mr. Mu immediately started talking to her.
So Xu Baiqing heard his plan. Old Master Mu said that since Xu Baiqing had already taken over the Qian family, he could find a way to keep the Qian family firmly in his hands. In this way, she would no longer have to be caught between Qian Yirong and the Qian family.
She can make her own decisions because she has the Qian family in her hands. She also has power and a relationship with Qian Yirong, so she can attack or defend, and she doesn't have to completely ignore Qian Yirong.
"...Zexuan and I can help you control the Qian family." Old Master Mu noticed the movement in Xu Baiqing's eyes and had an idea in his mind.
"...Then what do I need to do?" Xu Baiqing asked.
Old Master Mu became more and more satisfied with Xu Baiqing. She was ambitious and knew that it was unrealistic to just accept help from others. She knew that she needed an equal exchange, so she took the initiative to ask what price she would have to pay to get help from him and the Mu family.
"The Shen family is still trying to win Qian Yirong. I wonder how much influence you have on Qian Yirong?" Grandpa Mu said meaningfully.
"I see. I can do this," Xu Baiqing understood what Old Man Mu wanted her to do. She had an idea of what he wanted her to do, but she wouldn't do it for nothing, so she asked, "When will you fulfill your promise?"
"Don't worry, I will let you see our sincerity first." Mr. Mu promised with a mysterious smile.
The two reached an agreement. Since the matter had been settled, Xu Baiqing did not stay long and quickly left the teahouse box. Mu Zexuan looked at his back reluctantly as he left.
"You're useless." But he was soon patted on the back by Mr. Mu, who was disappointed with him.
"Grandpa, why did you hit me?" Mu Zexuan felt pain in his back and couldn't help but complain. His grandfather was so old, but his hands were still so strong.
"Look at how outstanding she is at such a young age. And then look at you. You've been chasing her for so long but still haven't caught her. You're really useless." Grandpa Mu said angrily.
"Is that because I don't want to pursue her?" Mu Zexuan muttered.
"Let's go. We have to let the little girl see our sincerity. With her secret help, we will make the Shen family suffer this time." Old Master Mu showed a ruthless look. If he hadn't received the news in time, he would have reacted before the Mu family was overthrown.
By then it would be too late to do anything, but now that he had the chance to fight back, he would naturally not let it go. It was also time to let the younger generation see his methods.
On the other side, Xu Baiqing just walked out of Qinghe Tea House and noticed Qiancheng Shu waiting at the door. Xu Baiqing thought of what Grandpa Mu said, her eyes flashed, and then she walked to Qiancheng Shu's car.
"What does Mu Zexuan want to talk to you about?" Xu Baiqing heard Qian Chengshu's impatient question just after he got into the car and sat down.
"…It's hard to say." Xu Baiqing said after a pause.
"I'm your brother, what can't you tell me?" Qian Chengshu asked impatiently.
"Let's drive first. It will be bad if Mu Zexuan comes out and sees you." Xu Baiqing reminded.
Qian Chengshu then realized that now was not a good time to question Xu Baiqing. He suppressed his anxiety and started the car. When the car was on the road, Qian Chengshu glanced at Xu Baiqing through the rearview mirror. He wanted to know what she had said to Mu Zexuan.
"You seem to be in a good mood. What did you talk about?" Qian Chengshu couldn't help but ask.
"Mu Zexuan heard that I wanted to be the president of Qian Corporation and said he would help me get the position of president and give me a contract with Mu Corporation." Xu Baiqing said.
Hearing what Xu Baiqing said, Qian Chengshu couldn't help but show joy on his face, but soon the joy on his face froze. Mu Zexuan took the initiative to offer the contract, which was definitely more beneficial to the Qian family, but the cooperation was negotiated by Xu Baiqing, which would only greatly increase Xu Baiqing's prestige in the Qian family. It would not benefit him in any way, but would be detrimental to his control over Xu Baiqing.
