Chapter 1226: Awakening (6)
He grabbed Mu Haiyun’s hand to stop her from continuing to kowtow, even using a bit of force, trying to help her up from the ground. But Mu Haiyun was determined to kneel, and his gentle pull was not enough to lift her.
"Haiyun, get up!"
Mu Qinghan closed his eyes briefly, his mind flashing with the furious expression of his son, Mu Yi. He thought of his little granddaughter’s grievances and injustice, and the muscles at the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Grandfather, trust you this time!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Haiyun let out a loud wail and cried uncontrollably.
Old Madam Mu watched with unbearable heartache, quickly went to support Mu Haiyun, helped her up from the ground, her tears falling in splashes.
"Oh, Haiyun, you silly girl, why are you so foolish! We are all family, why do you need to kneel to your grandfather! You... you... do you want to break your grandma’s heart?"
Mu Haiyun cried so hard that her eyes turned red. Her already weak body, after being helped up by Old Madam Mu, was like a little grass swaying precariously in a strong wind.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth, trying hard to reveal a smile.
"Grandma, I’m reaping the consequences of my own actions, really, Haiyun is unfilial, making you, grandfather, and Mom worry, but Haiyun feels guilty in her heart, and only this way can she feel a bit better."
Old Madam Mu clutched her heart, calling her a foolish child repeatedly, her eyes filled with tears as she cried.
Shen Xin was also in tears, and when she saw her daughter finally get up and noticed the trace of blood on her daughter’s forehead, her heart ached to the point of her face turning pale.
"Haiyun, you—"
Mu Haiyun weakly smiled, and just as she was about to say something, her tottering body could no longer hold up and she slowly collapsed into Shen Xin’s arms.
"Haiyun!"
This was her second time fainting in a row, and the room echoed with the cries of surprise from Shen Xin and Old Madam Mu. Although Mu Qinghan maintained a stern expression, his heart was also tightened.
His eldest granddaughter, after this blow, must have been hurt both physically and mentally. It was said she had previously been so enraged by the eldest son of the Cheng Family that she coughed up blood, and now she was kneeling here to apologize...
The sound of her dropping to her knees was still resonating in his heart, let alone the continuous kowtowing afterward.
Mu Qinghan’s face was both stern and ashen, staring at his weeping wife, almost growling.
"What are you standing around for, go call the doctor!"
——
Haitian Entertainment, President’s office.
When Cheng Junnan received a call from Mr. Mu, a knowing look flashed in his eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Mu!"
Jiang Meili stood to the side, holding a stack of documents, waiting for him to sign.
Cheng Junnan glanced at her and continued to listen to the call.
"Yes!"
With a gentle expression and a calm demeanor, Cheng Junnan, warm and jade-like, sat in the chair, listening carefully to the voice on the other end of the line.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "Yes, I like her, even though she is married, but liking her is my own business."
"Regarding Miss Mu, I am very sorry, even though Tian Tian is already married, as someone who admires her, I cannot stand her suffering in the slightest! Knowing well everything is orchestrated by Miss Mu, if I don’t do something, I would be failing in my affection for her!"
Standing aside, Jiang Meili heard this and her pupils suddenly widened.
She had previously accompanied President Cheng on a trip to the City Hospital, but President Cheng didn’t let her follow upstairs and she stayed downstairs waiting.
Later, after she and President Cheng left, she seemed to have heard news of Miss Mu being so enraged that she coughed up blood.
It seems the President’s visit to Mr. Mu had a purpose, and visiting Miss Mu was actually with an ulterior motive.
And the words just heard, were the answer.
