CHAPTER 240: 240: BEAUTY CREAM, BODY CARE CREAM

When Wang Yuan got back, she was still a bit dazed.

Mu Mingsi saw her and thought something had happened, so he asked, "What’s up with you? Did Grandaunt refuse you?"

"No! Grandaunt was really nice. She even cooked herself and invited me to lunch. Look at my stomach, it’s all full."

"That’s a good thing, so why do you seem so absent-minded?"

"I don’t know how to put it. Grandaunt didn’t just give me over ten more bottles of beauty cream, she even handed over the formula."

Even now, Wang Yuan couldn’t believe it was true. Though she wasn’t in business, she had only used the formula for a few days and the effects were so apparent already. If they really made some products to sell, how could they not make money?

"What formula?" Mu Mingsi hadn’t thought in that direction.

"It’s the formula for beauty cream and body care cream."

"Are you serious? You didn’t do something, did you?" Mu Mingsi was skeptical.

Doesn’t he know his wife? Sometimes she has little faults, and while she’s not exactly money-grubbing, she could still ignore everything for immediate gain.

"How could I? Grandaunt is my son’s Master, and Grandaunt’s husband is also arranging people to pave the way for my daughter’s career. While I don’t understand much, if anyone dares to mess with my son or daughter, I absolutely won’t let them go."

Hearing this, Mu Mingsi believed her. No matter how flawed Wang Yuan might be, her love for her children was genuine. That’s why when Mu Bai and Murong demanded her to be humble, she would even sacrifice her life without a second thought.

"Then tell me what happened, and I’ll analyze it for you."

"Right, you help me analyze. In my heart, I’m unsure, and I don’t know if I accidentally offended Grandaunt or Granduncle. That would be bad. If there’s a way to fix it, we should do it quickly, we can’t let it affect my son and daughter."

Could Mu Mingsi admit he was a bit jealous? Since his son and daughter were born, he was sidelined immediately, and his wife’s heart and eyes were wholly occupied by their children.

Ah... he didn’t know whether to feel proud or sad. Although the son and daughter were also his, being overlooked, he felt a bit bitter inside.

"A son and daughter are important, but isn’t your husband important too?"

"Is this the time to mention this? Can’t you avoid bringing up those random things? The kids carry your surname, don’t they? How can you not be important?"

Mu Mingsi smiled with satisfaction, "Alright then, wife, just tell me, and I’ll analyze it thoroughly for you, I definitely won’t miss a single clue."

"Come on now, you." Wang Yuan laughed as she recounted the entire incident.

Mu Mingsi listened and didn’t find any problems. He said, "Maybe you’re overthinking it? Perhaps it’s really like Granduncle says, Grandaunt simply gave it to you as a gift for meeting her. You know Grandaunt isn’t an ordinary person, she has a lot of good stuff. Didn’t you see your son acting like a money-grubber, asking Grandaunt for all sorts of things the other day?"

"That’s why I’m worried. Stuff from Grandaunt’s hands isn’t ordinary. If I accept it casually without any gesture, would she be upset?"

"No way! Grandaunt isn’t someone with such complicated thoughts. You said it yourself, she’s a simple and straightforward person. You don’t need to be too careful while dealing with her, just be sincere."

"Alright, husband, I’ll listen to you. But what should I do with this formula?"

"Since Grandaunt gave it to you, it’s yours. I won’t compete with you for it. But since it’s something from Grandaunt, if you’re going to make use of it in business, you should give some shares to the family’s collective fund, as a gesture to the Elders of the Mu family."

"No problem there, but I don’t know how to do business, even the best formula wouldn’t make money in my hands."

"Why not make use of your capable husband, if not now, then when?"

"Alright, then I’ll appoint you as the CEO of our company, with the prize being a beautiful wife, how does that sound?"

"Wife, noted, but this beauty...?"

"Just wait, after I use up all the beauty and body care cream Grandaunt gave me, hmm... then don’t come begging me!"

"No no, can I invest in advance now?"

...

Something as big as the formula, Mu Mingsi couldn’t keep it under wraps from Old Master Mu and the Elders of the Mu family. Before taking action, he informed them all.

The Elders of the Mu family said, since there are shares in the collective fund, then some of the funding should also come from there, not just earn money without investing any.

"Alright! The Elders can discuss that." Mu Mingsi said.

Old Master Mu also chimed in, since Grandaunt gave this to Wang Yuan, it’s Wang Yuan’s. Apart from the collective’s portion, other Mu family members can invest in shares, but the formula can only belong to Wang Yuan.

Later, Mu Mingyu somehow found out about this and was particularly unhappy. He said to his wife, "Grandaunt is so biased, even giving things to someone like Sister-in-law. Why haven’t I seen her give you anything?"

Tong Yunyun laughed, "Sister-in-law’s family is closer to Grandaunt. Whether Grandaunt is willing to give something is her business, why are you grumbling? Do you want to get into women’s business as a man?"

"I’m not cut out for business. I just find it unfair. We’re all daughters-in-law of the Mu family, why does Sister-in-law get it, and not you? Wife, I’m standing up for you here."

Tong Yunyun sighed a bit helplessly, "I’m busy enough managing you and the kids every day, where do I have the energy to care about anything else?"

"That’s why I say you shouldn’t work, stay at home and be a leisurely wife, but you don’t want to." Mu Mingyu had complaints about Tong Yunyun opening a design studio with others outside.

His wife, so young and beautiful, working in design, she is always on point in fashion and dressing. Naturally, how could she not attract the admiration of others? The men around her are so outstanding. Knowing she married someone like him, who spends his days in leisure, makes many people think she’s getting the short end of the stick.

They all thought she could find someone better if she left him!

Mu Mingyu himself thought so too. He had considered getting a job, but knowing his own nature, he was sure about being someone who indulges in pleasure. Letting him manage something would just be a short-lived enthusiasm that would fade quickly.

He was used to living like a young master, totally unwilling to flatter others just to close a deal.

Moreover, the Mu family didn’t lack money, with or without him, there was no difference. He just couldn’t muster the effort. His sons were growing up and becoming successful, his wife was both beautiful and capable, and he seemingly had nothing to worry about.

That’s how his life had gone by, and he wondered if his wife ever regretted marrying him.
