Your grandfather and I were childhood friends whose families were close friends with each other. Everyone thought us to be a couple and assumed that we would eventually get married. However, because he ended up falling for your granny, I became an abandoned and disgraced woman in the eyes of others! Being the sole daughter and heir of her family, the elder Mrs. Mu grew up to be a very competitive person with high self-esteem.

The indignation over having her crush falling for a woman who was not her match in all aspects got her hating her love rivals guts.

Being a shrewd woman, however, she silently endured through it, went on to be friends with her crush, and maintained a good relationship between both families. She later got her only son to marry their sole daughter, rob them of their assets, and destroy the lifetime happiness of their precious daughter.

Even so, it did not appease her. She wanted the woman to lead an even more miserable life.

Hence, she could not bear seeing her granddaughter being so concerned about her granny.

Of course, despite her not spilling everything out, Mu Huan somehow managed to guess it. This made her ascertain even more that her grandma, being the horrifying and scheming person that she was, had her motives for saying all these things to her.

It was just as expected.

What Im trying to tell you is that I didnt hate you without any reason. Despite my reluctance to do so, I cant control my emotions. Ive never met anyone else who had brought such great shame to me other than your granny. There was some truth to the old ladys words, though. She had once tried to treat this granddaughter a little better since they were blood-related, after all. However

Youre ultimately still my granddaughter, though. If possible, Id like for you to lead a better life, too

Please cut to the chase, Grandma, she interrupted, not at all wanting to hear the former persuading her through their blood relations.

I know youre working hard to save enough money to move to another city with your granny. To control this granddaughter of hers, she, of course, needed to know all about her.

I suppose youll bring her to the Imperial Capital?

Mu Huan kept mum.

You chose pretty well. Not only is it your grannys hometown, but its also the city with the best medical facilities. The elderly woman paused there for a little.

Since you want to let your granny lead a better life, youd surely not compromise on the medical facilities and stay in a rental home lest she finds herself a burden and does foolish things. For her health, youd want to stay somewhere closer to the hospital. Alas, house prices there are sky-high; even the simplest suite would require tens of millions of yuan, what more in a neighborhood close to the hospital!

No matter how capable you are, youre only still a student, however. How long will it take you to earn that sum of money? Plus, lots of money is needed for her medical expenses. Your monthly expenses are only likely to increase, never decreasing. In this case, how hard must you work to save up enough money?

What she said were just cruel facts that Mu Huan had to face.

And thats only in the case that I dont seek trouble with you. Should I not let you off, do you think youll remain fine by just leaving this place with your granny? Stop indulging in your fantasies, child.

If I truly dont want both of you leading good lives, its useless no matter where you run off to!

She clenched her fists tightly in her laps.

Reaching out, her grandma held her fists and lightly caressed them. Im giving you an opportunity now, child, so that you dont have to slog so hard to give your granny a good life. This is also on account of our blood relations; you have to cherish this opportunity.
