Chapter 82: Going for a Competition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The boy gave no chance for the old lady to reject his plan. Inside her heart, though, she abhorred the idea of romanticizing her wanton daughter-in-law as a sacrificial mother in public.

In the end, she took out her anger on her son.

She blamed him for not informing her even though he was well aware of it! Now, it had turned into a fiasco because of him!

The one who had it worst was none other than Mu Dongsheng.

All these years, he had borne with his wife’s increasing condescension and bossiness. He wanted a divorce but his mother forbade it. Hence, upon noticing his wife’s strange behavior, he got someone to follow her secretly so he could collect evidence to justify his request for a divorce before his mother.

Now, not only was he unable to divorce his wife, his pictures that were supposed to implicate her were to be used to build a false story of a great mother instead. This was the last thing he’d expected.

He could only count himself unlucky. There was no way he could go against his formidable mother and her beloved grandson.

In the end, he succumbed to their plan unwillingly by appearing as Bai Xuexian’s loving husband in public to exonerate her shame.

The Mus might not be as powerful as the Baos, but they were still influential in their own right. For one thing, their public relations’ arm was dependable.

The next day, the media headlines were all about this sacrificing mother who went to great lengths to save her daughter from going astray.

Li Meng almost wanted to vomit blood after reading it.

“What happened?” Mu Huan looked at her.

“Quick, come and take a look! The Mu family is so shameless!” Her bestie showed her the latest news.

She took a look. “WTF!”

“I really admire your grandma! No matter how partial she is toward your stepmother, how could she bend herself backward just to help the woman who made her husband a cuckold?!” The young girl could not believe what she had just read.

Her friend read through the entire news clip. “This couldn’t have come from my grandma,” she explained.

“If this wasn’t from your grandma, then who could it be from? Don’t tell me it was your dad? Do you mean that your father is so benevolent...” The thought that that man would actually help his unfaithful wife rendered her speechless.

“It wasn’t my dad either. He must have been forced to do this. This idea must be from Mu Zixuan.” Mu Huan knew the Mu household well. Her grandma was not the kind who would condone her daughter-in-law’s betrayal, so there was no way she would bother to prove the innocence of Bai Xuexian.

As for her father, he could not wait for an opportunity to get a new wife, so helping Bai Xuexian would have been a no-no for him, too. The only one who would go all out to help this wanton woman would be her son, Mu Zixuan. After all, the boy would not want to be mocked for having such a mother.

“Mu Zixuan? Isn’t he just 14?”

“He may be young, but he’s conniving enough. He’ll be a force to reckon with in the near future.” The girl had high praises for this brother of hers, although they did not come from the same womb.

“What are we going to do now?”

“We do nothing; let them be. My grandma isn’t keen to wash off that woman’s guilt in the first place. She’s being forced to do this right now. This means that my stepmother will only irritate her in the future. That woman will no longer have any power, nor will she be able to eye the director’s post. No amount of goodwill will win her affection from the matriarch.”

After she finished with the chicken wing, she stood up and said, “Let’s go. I want to enter a competition.”

“Aren’t you going home?” The sky had turned dark by then.

“Bao Junyan has left the country this afternoon. He’s to return after a week.” There was no doubt that she was the happiest when her husband was not around.

“What kinda competition?” Li Meng asked her in return before she recalled something abruptly. “Don’t tell me you wanna join the boxing match at the Barons Club?”
