Chapter 246: Chapter 246 For the Sake of a Woman, Giving Up Even Legs_1 Chapter 246: Chapter 246 For the Sake of a Woman, Giving Up Even Legs_1 It wasn’t until Shanshan and Grandpa Mu approached Mu Yingchen that they realized his pant legs were rolled up.

Grandpa Mu exclaimed in surprise, “What happened here?” How come one after another is starting to abuse their own bodies?

Shanshan also saw her daddy’s knees and instantly crinkled her little face as she leaned in closer, “Daddy, what’s wrong with your legs? They look so painful–”

Mu Yingchen pulled at his pant leg, letting it fall back down, and said to Grandpa Mu and Shanshan, “It’s nothing important, just expressing some filial piety. Otherwise, being called an ungrateful son over and over, I’d be wronged more than Dou E.”

Mrs. Mu and Grandpa Mu both harrumphed at the same time. This kid knows how to defend himself—

“Daddy, does it mean you’re not filial?” Shanshan asked with some confusion.

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but laugh, “Your daddy is the number one filial son. Shanshan, you also have to be filial in the future–”

Shanshan nodded obediently and sweetly replied, “Mhm, I will surely be very filial to daddy and mommy in the future.”

The moment she mentioned “mommy,” Mrs. Mu’s expression changed slightly, and Mu Yingchen sighed inwardly before saying to Shanshan, “Mhm, and also to your grandma and great-grandpa.”

“Right, and to grandma, grandpa, grandma, and then the two great-grandpas, as well as Uncle Ran and Uncle Yun.”

The little girl muttered a bunch of names all at once, leaving Mu Yingchen both crying and laughing.

Grandpa Mu, upon hearing Shanshan mention “two great-grandpas,” immediately stared at Shanshan and asked, “Shanshan, that great-grandpa of yours, is he good to you?”

Mu Zetian never imagined that his old rival would end up being related to him in this way—it was something he had never expected.

As soon as her great-grandpa was mentioned, Shanshan immediately perked up, excitedly looking at everyone, saying, “Great-grandpa is so nice to me, and–” She was about to say he was also nice to Yaoyao, but she paused mid-sentence and then continued, “And he’s nice to mommy, too.”

Mrs. Mu was still somewhat bothered by Shanshan bringing up her mommy. Watching Shanshan’s excited little face, she said, “Shanshan, what would you like to eat for lunch today? Grandma will have them prepare more.”

“Yay, there’s so much I like!”

“Mhm, that’s good. How about grandma takes you to the kitchen to have a look?”

“Okay–”

As Mrs. Mu spoke, she took Shanshan by the hand and walked towards the door. Then she called out to Butler Wen Bin at the door, “Wen Bin, Yingchen has hurt his leg. Please help him with some medicine.”

“Okay, I’ll take a look now.”

“Mhm.”

Inside, Mu Yingchen heard Mrs. Mu’s words and slowly curved his lips into a smile. It seemed that his feigned injury tactic was quite effective.

Seeing him smile smugly, Grandpa Mu couldn’t help but huff, “You youngster, when did you learn this trick? The thing your mother can’t stand the most is seeing you with any minor injury or illness, but it really is like me—”

The end of Grandpa Mu’s sentence made Mu Yingchen’s lips twitch. It seemed that he used to pull this trick often, didn’t he?

“Young master, please put your leg up here,” the butler pulled up a chair, asking Mu Yingchen to place his leg on it so he could apply medicine.

Mu Yingchen frowned and lifted his leg onto it. Truth be told, it really did hurt.

When he stood up earlier, his whole leg had felt numb.

“All for the sake of a woman, you’re willing to risk your legs.”

Seeing the large bruise on his knee, Grandpa Mu spoke with a hint of cool detachment.

Mu Yingchen’s temple throbbed. His grandfather’s words sounded so unpleasant.

“Grandpa, I was also doing it for my mom–”

“Alright, alright, I won’t discuss this with you. While your mom’s not here, tell me, what do you plan to do with Yudie? Are you really going to ignore her like this?” the elder angrily said.

Mu Yingchen felt a headache coming on and said helplessly, “Grandpa, let her go back to the United States–”

The elder Mu instantly became furious, raised a finger, and pointed at him: “You–you’re trying to anger me to death, aren’t you?”

“Grandpa, now that we have Shanshan, do you think I’ll still marry her?” Mu Yingchen asked just like that, because his initial agreement to marry her was only to obtain that contract and incidentally lure that woman out.

Now that the contract was destroyed, that woman had also come out, and what’s more, a tender bundle had exploded onto the scene; how could he marry Bai Yudie?

“Besides, as for repaying the Bai Family’s kindness, that was more than repaid over the years. Everything the Bai Family owns now, wasn’t it all given by us? Why must I still marry someone from the Bai Family? I think we don’t owe them anything anymore.”

Old Master Mu was rendered speechless by Mu Yingchen’s reasoning, because what he said was indeed the truth.

Yudie’s grandfather once worked for him and had taken a bullet meant for him during a hit.

If it had been anyone else, they would surely have just given a hefty sum to placate the family and moved on.

But he always considered him a brother, and personally helped lift the Bai Family from commoners to the commercial giants they are today, even promising to marry a Bai daughter into the Mu Family.

In the blink of an eye, many years had gone by, and the Bai Family had reached its glorious zenith, becoming an immense presence in the commercial world that cannot be ignored.

However, his grandson just wouldn’t marry the young miss of the Bai Family, which somewhat embarrassed him when dealing with the Bai Family, especially since he had personally made that promise.

But on the other hand, Yingchen was not wrong—indeed, the debt to the Bai Family was long repaid.

Thinking this, he waved his hand resignedly: “Enough, enough, I can’t manage your affairs anymore, do as you like, but the premise is that your mother has to agree.”

Mu Yingchen’s lips curved up, “As long as you don’t oppose, that’s fine. Also, help me persuade my mom.”

Old Master Mu immediately gave him a sideways glance, realizing clearly that his grandson was cunning.

Indeed, he was just like him–

At lunchtime, the table showered Shanshan with vegetables non-stop, and the clever child reciprocated by first offering some to Old Master Mu, then to Mu’s mother, then to Uncle Zhou, and finally to Mu Yingchen.

This earned the child unanimous praise around the table for her sensibility and sweetness.

After Mu’s mother placed another piece of rib on Shanshan’s plate, she suddenly turned to Mu Yingchen with a stern face.

“Yingchen, when will you go to the hospital to see Yudie?”

Mu Yingchen massaged his forehead. Why did they all have to keep bringing up Yudie, as if they couldn’t mention his woman’s name more often?

“Mom, didn’t you go to see her already?”

Mu’s mother glared at him. “Is it the same when I visit as when you do? Your visit would at least give her some comfort. After all, she’s a girl who was beaten to such a state. Later, you should have someone investigate how she could have been beaten like that.” The more Mu’s mother spoke, the more baffled she became. She really didn’t understand what kind of people Yudie had provoked to end up in that state, wrapped in bandages from head to toe.

Shanshan felt a twinge of guilt upon hearing Mu’s mother’s words. What would she do if Daddy really found out it was her? Would he be angry?

Shanshan started to feel conflicted inside–
