CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 319: LEAVE SOME LEEWAY AS A PERSON

Chen Shanshan didn’t expect An Ran to reject her. How could a lowly wild girl decide her fate? She fought back her anger and said, "An Ran, please be reasonable. What happened that day wasn’t entirely my fault. Don’t forget, you were the one who started it. If we talk about legal responsibility, it was self-defense for me. One should always have a little mercy. Besides, I heard you are in medical school; as a doctor, shouldn’t you be the most compassionate? Do you really have the heart to see us mother and daughter separated?"

By the end, Chen Shanshan was in tears, looking quite heartbroken.

Xue Meihua hugged her daughter tightly, their posture making it seem like An Ran was some vicious bully tormenting them.

"Chen Shanshan, I think you’re mistaken. I don’t want to separate you from your mother." An Ran withdrew her hand from Mu Xingfeng’s grasp, sat up straight, and her entire demeanor turned sharp.

"Yes, I started the fight yesterday, but it was you who provoked me first. As for leaving the Imperial City, I think you still don’t understand. Mu Xingfeng asked you to leave when your father came begging the Mu Family to resume cooperation with the Chen Family. No one forced you to go. However, people must pay for their mistakes. The Chen Family’s company or you—one had to be sacrificed. Unfortunately, to save the company, your father chose to give you up."

An Ran wasn’t a naive girl. Chen Shanshan’s words that day were piercing. Even without Mu Xingfeng’s support, An Ran would have slapped her without hesitation.

Moreover, if it hadn’t been for Shen Wenxuan and Mu Wanxin stopping her in time that day, she might have ended up disfigured by now.

How important is a woman’s appearance? And Chen Shanshan wanted to destroy hers. Now she still acted justified and pushed all the blame on An Ran. How could she be kind to her?

Sure enough, upon hearing An Ran’s words, Chen Shanshan stood there in shock, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her father.

Chen Wanli didn’t expect An Ran to reveal the truth, panicked, and explained, "Shanshan, listen to Dad. It’s not as she said. Dad didn’t give up on you. But without the company, our family would be finished."

Chen Shanshan looked at Chen Wanli, tears streaming down her face. She then turned to Mu Xingfeng, "Brother Mu, I’m sorry. I will leave the Imperial City now."

Without waiting for her family, she stood up and walked out. Seeing her daughter leave in despair, Xue Meihua hurriedly chased after her.

Chen Wanli had originally planned to use his daughter to gain Mu Xingfeng’s sympathy and achieve his goal. He never expected this outcome. He quickly stood up and said, "Young Master Mu, I’ll send Shanshan abroad immediately. Please, show mercy to our company."

"Of course." Mu Xingfeng raised his head, looking at Chen Wanli with dark, deep eyes, a gaze that seemed to pierce through him.

Chen Wanli hurriedly bowed his head and took his leave from Mu Xingfeng.

Before they even left the villa, Mu Xingfeng looked at the girl beside him with cold eyes and suddenly embraced her. Before she could react, he lowered his head and kissed her.

His little weak girl had finally shown her strength once.

Heaven knows how nervous he was when he handed all the authority to her just now. He was afraid this silly girl would soften her heart and let her bullies go again.

Fortunately, she knew her position and understood the reason behind his actions.
