Some things were better left unsaid.

PA Wang was rather surprised to hear his boss retracting his order. In all his years of service, he had not seen him retracting his word after hed made up his mind.

Go and get busy. The man turned to look at the papers on his table instead.

His assistant knew he had better not probe further after hearing that.

After his assistant left the room, he continued to work on his document. While signing his name on the paper, his mind wandered again to the status of their relationship. The thought that his docile wifey might have had a relationship with his nephew disturbed him so much that the pen that he was holding in his hand broke into half with his blunt force.

And then, his mind wandered further. He realized that there was a likelihood that his nephew had been rejected by Mu Huan and, thus, he had badmouthed her to save face. In the end, he decided not to look for the young chap to speak to him about his current girlfriend. He had wanted to warn him about Lin Qingya, but that would mean his mind would be unsettled again, and he did not want that.

At the hospital.

Today was the day that Mu Huan had planned to secretly transfer her granny out of captivity. First, she drugged the guards outside the hospital room and then got Wu Xingye to hack the surveillance system to create a false impression that the cameras had malfunctioned.

After the guards were doped into dreamland, she, along with Li Meng and Wu Xingye, dressed up as the hospital medical staff. Armed with surgical masks and a trolley bed, the three of them slipped into her grannys room.

After carefully transferring the old lady onto the trolley, they thought they were on the brink of success as they were about to push her granny out when the door suddenly burst open.

In came Matriarch Mu with her team of bodyguards in black suits, blocking the door.

The knuckles on the girls hands turned stiff from gripping hard on the trolley handle.

The old lady swept her gaze across the room nonchalantly, and without any change in expression, she told the girl, Xiao Huan, get your friends outside first. Grandma here wants to speak to you alone.

Mu Huans grip on the trolley tightened for a few seconds before she looked at her friends, signaling them to leave the room first.

Her friends knew very well that with the three of them, they might be able to defeat the matriarchs guards. However, having to look out for the sick granny during the fight would reduce their chance of winning. Furthermore, the possibility of hurting her granny was something the girl would not risk, not even at the expense of winning the fight.

Hence, the two of them left the room without a word.

After they left, the matriarch also got her men to leave the room and close the door, leaving behind the two of them alone.

Looking at the girl, the old woman commented, Youre becoming more and more capable.

This impeccable plan had been devised by a mere 19-year-old girl.

She listened without a word.

Looking at her, the elder sighed all of a sudden. If only your heart has gone to me, your grandma here.

If such a smart and capable granddaughter were willing to serve her and the Mu family, it would bring tremendous benefits to their reputation!

The girl replied sarcastically, One needs to give in order to receive. Grandma here seems to be looking for rewards without having given anything in the first place. That will be too much of a good thing, then.

One can give only when a seed is present. Youre the offspring of the Mu family; you belong to the Mus. Without us, theres no you.

Grandma, you can be direct with me. Im an unfilial grandchild who has no concept of filial piety. All I know is, Ill be good to those who are good to me. And Ill return an eye for an eye to those who are out to take me down, no matter who they are! A bond between two persons had to be nurtured with genuine care and concern. It did not mean that she had to give unconditionally to the Mus just because she was born into the Mu household!

Does the old woman expect me to be grateful to the Mu family just because I was born into this place? Well, I really dont wish to have been born into this household in the first place!

Then, if Grandma starts to be good to you from now on, would that salvage the situation? The matriarchs expression was suddenly glowing with gentle compassion, much like Buddhas.
