Chapter 1200: Let’s Talk in Private 4
After greeting Mu Yi, Tian Tian and Bai Chenyao went to a corner of the nearby corridor to wait. Tian Tian thought about her brother and father’s words, frowning slightly.
"Something must have happened!"
Otherwise, her usually calm and composed grandfather would not suddenly faint in a rush of emotion.
However, she didn’t know what exactly had happened. Moreover, her father’s gaze just now was very complicated, seeming both guilty and extremely repressed, painful, and sad.
Seeing Tian Tian looking a bit distressed, Bai Chenyao’s deep gaze turned towards her, his deep, rich voice sounding beside her.
"Don’t think too much. Sometimes not knowing is the best."
Tian Tian looked up in surprise, looking at Bai Chenyao.
Seeing Bai Chenyao’s stern expression and deep gaze, she couldn’t see through his thoughts and became even more bewildered.
"Others may just say such things, but after all, they are my family!"
"Family?"
Bai Chenyao’s eyes showed a hint of coldness.
Tian Tian’s frown deepened, feeling somewhat guilty and embarrassed about her grandfather’s actions.
With a delayed cough, Tian Tian quickly added.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa has his faults, but as the head of the family, doesn’t he need to consider many things, which is why he sometimes seems extra rigid and serious!"
After saying that, Tian Tian felt even more ashamed.
If she truly thought so, she wouldn’t have been so aggressive at the Mu family last time, even directly ignoring her grandfather.
So saying such platitudes in front of others might be okay, but there was no need in front of Bai Chenyao.
She was just curious why her grandfather would suddenly faint and what exactly happened.
"Forget it, forget it, A Yao, take it as if I said nothing!"
Bai Chenyao, however, did not plan to let her off so easily, his eyes quietly fixed on Tian Tian, their depth unfathomable, silent and cold.
"Mu Yi still considers you his daughter, and Mu Haiyun is also his daughter. Sometimes even he is indecisive, let alone the head of the family, Mu Qinghan?"
"In Mu Qinghan’s eyes, nothing is more important than the Mu family’s reputation and status. Though he seems indifferent to fame and fortune, staying behind the scenes for years, if anyone tries to ruin the Mu family’s reputation, he would be the first to oppose!"
Tian Tian: "..."
Bai Chenyao meant that, in her grandfather’s eyes, anyone who jeopardized the Mu family’s interests becomes irrelevant?
Then this time, with Mu Haiyun involved in the photo scandal, it’s quite the news for the Mu family.
Tian Tian suddenly thought of Mu Haiyun holding a press conference after the scandal.
"Mu Haiyun was so urgent to hold a press conference because she was worried about Grandpa taking action?"
Bai Chenyao slightly nodded, his voice deep.
"She took the initiative to step up as the victim, so even if Mu Qinghan wanted to say something, given this approach is indeed the best, he has nothing to say."
Even though Mu Haiyun did something damaging to the Mu family’s reputation, she’s been trying hard to make amends, and the method and response were quite good.
As for being dragged into the mess herself...
Tian Tian bit her lip and spoke softly, "Then... dragging me into this, doesn’t it further damage the Mu family’s reputation? At a time like this, shouldn’t you sacrifice one to save another?"
Before Bai Chenyao could speak, Tian Tian suddenly realized something.
