Chapter 25: You’re Father’s Precious Gem

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As a spoiled and pampered heiress, Luo Zheng was rather blunt, brazen and arrogant.

However, she was not in the least bit worried about offending her “family” at all, for she had the shares and rights to succession that would make them have no choice but to swallow their pride!

“Besides, I witnessed Cousin behaving intimately with a man at a hotel and only left after a long time. According to your logic, does that mean that you’re ill-mannered?”

Su Xuanxuan was obsessed with her relationship too.

At least, Xi Mubai was the only person whom Luo Zheng admired, unlike Su Xuanxuan who constantly changed her boyfriend like she was changing her clothes. How complicated and promiscuous!

Mu Cuiyun’s face grew sullen and she glowered at her daughter. “Xuanxuan, is that true?”

“Luo Zheng, don’t baselessly accuse me!”

Su Xuanxuan panicked and immediately denied.

Luo Zheng smirked sarcastically. She could not be bothered arguing with her, so she decided to throw the problem to Mu Tianwei. “Father, I went to a hotel for extra lessons with my best friend! Well, the university entrance examinations are coming soon and I want to do well so that I can be admitted to an elite university! Father, do you trust me?”

Although her words were to Mu Tianwei’s displeasure, he had to keep up with his pretense for the sake of her shares.

In other words, he would have to defend her even if she were to really go to a hotel with a man.

Like she had expected, Mu Tianwei nodded resignedly and answered, “Of course, my good daughter. I believe you!”

While coaxing Luo Zheng, he shot Li Shufen and the rest a warning glance, hinting for them not to provoke Luo Zheng.

Li Shufen was extremely exasperated, but she had no choice but to give in on the account of her son and benefits. “No matter what it may be, you’d better be mindful of your behavior. Don’t you get up to any nonsense and embarrass the Mu Family!” she barked, slamming her cane against the ground.

Luo Zheng decided to stop and torture them again another time. She nodded and said, “Grandma, don’t worry, I know what to do!”

The matter came to an end.

Mu Tianwei said benevolently, “Zheng, do you remember what I told you about Auntie Zhao previously? Would you like to meet her? She has a daughter who’s a few years older than you and does exceptionally well in school. You may treat her like your sister and get her to tutor you… ”

Auntie Zhao was Zhao Manru, her stepmother.

Luo Zheng was reborn at the right time. Zhao Manru had yet to marry Mu Tianwei while Mu Nianqing and Mu Sen were still living elsewhere with her.

In her previous lifetime, she agreed to let Mu Tianwei remarry because she took pity on him for having a tough life… In this lifetime, he can forget about it. Mu Sen and Mu Nianqing can continue being illegitimate children!

“Father, didn’t you promise me that you’ll never remarry again? Cousin goes against me all the time and she’s annoying enough. I don’t want a sister!”

She was intentionally getting Su Xuanxuan involved.

“This concerns Tianwei’s lifelong happiness. Who are you to interfere!?!”

Upon hearing her words, Li Shufen immediately retorted.

Upon hearing her words, Luo Zheng insisted willfully, “Father, is that what you think so? I’ve always thought that you loved Mother. Turns out, it was all fake… ”

She paused and continued to weep pitifully, “In that case, I’ll move out, lest I become an eyesore! Father, you’re free to marry whoever you want!”

“What nonsense are you spouting? You’re my precious gem. Why are you moving out!?! That Auntie Zhao is just my close friend, I’m not going to marry her… ”

Mu Tianwei’s face grew sullen and he frantically tried to coax Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng suppressed her nausea and continued to play along with his act. Pretending to be touched, she exclaimed, “Father, you’re so nice! I knew you wouldn’t marry another woman.”

Not wanting to deal with the family of demons any longer, Luo Zheng picked up her bag and ignored them, after which she headed to school merrily.

Pak~

As soon as Luo Zheng left, Mu Tianwei dropped his pretense and slammed the teacup down onto the coffee table!
