Mu Huajian lowered his head, feeling ashad, and said, "Ruan Zhitong’s father used to be the head of the finance departnt. I had soone tamper with things a bit, and Father Ruan was imprisoned for embezzling company funds! Ruan Zhitong, in order to save her father, had no choice but to agree to my request and left Beiting!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin bit her lower lip with her teeth and couldn’t say a single word for a long ti.
Mu Huajian could see through Ye Anxin’s thoughts at a glance and bitterly smiled, "Do you think I’m despicable, willing to use any ans to achieve my goals?"
Ye Anxin bit her lip and, after a long pause, said with difficulty, "You certainly were difficult for to understand back then!"
Mu Huajian sighed and mocked himself, "Yes! I used to be arrogant and looked down on everyone! To be honest, if it weren’t for my age now and having gone through so much, maybe I’d still be the sa as before! Now, I regret many things I did back then, especially involving Beiting! I want to make ands, but I’ve realized I’ve missed the best opportunity to repair the relationship between us father and son!"
"Why did you ask to co here today?" Ye Anxin stared blankly at Mu Huajian!
She didn’t believe that the old man brought her out here just to talk about these things that were already past!
Seeing Ye Anxin had already pointed this out, Mu Huajian didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point, "You probably don’t know! Four years ago, Rufeng and her mother were sent away by Beiting! No... to be exact, they were forced to leave Jin City!"
"So...?" Ye Anxin raised her eyebrows at Mu Huajian, suddenly seeming to understand sothing!
It turned out that Grandpa Mu brought her out today not simply for the uncle, but for Mu Rufeng and her mother!
She didn’t know why the uncle forced Mu Rufeng and her mother to leave Jin City, but they must have done sothing excessive! Otherwise, back when Mu’s mother used to berate the uncle like that, he never forced them to leave!
Mu Huajian blushed and said awkwardly, "I hope you can plead with Beiting on my behalf to let Rufeng and her mother co back! I’ve heard they’re living very hard outside now! You know, Rufeng was spoiled since childhood and has never suffered! After graduating from college, he worked at the Mu Group and never ventured outside! And his mother, who was a wealthy lady, has always lived a life of comfort after marrying into the Mu Family! Now, they have to rely on their own hands to live outside, it’s really hard for them! I even went to the Mu Group for this and tried to et Beiting, but he refused to see ! I’m really out of options!"
Ye Anxin suppressed the sourness in her heart and asked expressionlessly, "So, you told all this today to gain my sympathy, for to understand you, forgive you, and it’s all for Mu Rufeng and her mother, not for the uncle?"
Mu Huajian hurriedly explained, "No... everything I said earlier is true! I may have used Beiting in the past, but over the years, I’ve gradually understood many things! He’s my only son now, how could I not care about him! I also want to repair our relationship! But, Rufeng is also a child of the Mu Family, my biological grandson, how can I bear to see him suffer outside, living a wretched life!"
Ye Anxin curled her lips into a cold smile and said, "I think they’ve gotten into this situation mostly because of themselves! In the past, the uncle took care of them, let them stay obediently at the old house, and gave them enough living expenses! Not only were they ungrateful, but they repeatedly insulted the uncle, yet he never wiped them out! And this ti, for the uncle to go so far, they must have crossed the uncle’s bottom line!"
"...!" Mu Huajian’s throat choked, unable to speak for a long ti.
The quieter Mu Huajian beca, the more Ye Anxin was convinced of her speculation, and she continued to ask, "What did they do to make the uncle treat them like this?"
Mu Huajian quickly explained, "I didn’t manage them well! And Rufeng was rash in his youth, which led to mistakes!"
Ye Anxin didn’t let him off and asked again with annoyance, "What did Mu Rufeng do?"
Mu Huajian lowered his head and said in sha, "Four years ago, Rufeng wanted to take back the Mu Group, so he did so things that hurt Beiting! However, his sche was quickly discovered by Beiting! But no matter how much I pleaded, Beiting was determined to force them to leave! I really have no choice!"
Ye Anxin chuckled self-deprecatingly and decisively said, "I think it’s more than just so mistakes, right? Even though the uncle has always been ruthless and shows no rcy to his enemies! But he’s always been lenient with Mu Rufeng and his mother, always giving them a way out! Yet this ti, the uncle didn’t spare them, it must be because they did sothing too excessive! So, I’m sorry, I can’t help you! If they can repeatedly harm the uncle, if I plead for their return, wouldn’t that be like placing a ticking ti bomb next to the uncle? I can’t put the uncle in danger!"
Mu Huajian hurriedly responded, "Rest assured, with Beiting’s skills, Rufeng can’t hurt him! They are just clowns before Beiting, utterly powerless!"
Hearing this, Ye Anxin replied without hesitation, "Still, no! I don’t want the uncle, who’s already so busy, to have to waste energy watching them, constantly on guard against being hard by them!"
"But...!" Mu Huajian was about to argue further, but Ye Anxin interjected first, "There’s no need to say more, no matter what you say, I won’t agree to your request! Actually, sotis I really feel conflicted...! You are my elder, the uncle’s father, I have to respect you, and being recognized by you, I really like it! Sotis, hearing your words of concern for the uncle makes happy, even though sotis they’re not genuine, but with a purpose, I’m still happy! But... sotis, I really can’t understand why the treatnt is so different among family mbers of the sa blood! My dad treated badly since I was little, I thought it was because I was a daughter, so my dad didn’t like ! Later, I found out that he wasn’t my biological father! So, his previous mistreatnt made sense! But... the uncle is your biological son! Even if you don’t have a bond, even if his biological mother had a low status. But in the end, he shares your blood! Why do you treat him so heartlessly, allowing Mu Rufeng and his mother to harm him over and over?"
