That f*cking old hag! She clearly has such a good hostage in hand, and yet she doesnt make use of it! What on earth is she protecting that old thing for?! growled Bai Xuexian in her rage.

Thats in consideration of the big picture. Grandma knows her limitations and knows that she mustnt drive Mu Huan to desperation. If you hadnt acted rashly and forced Mu Huans hand, she wouldnt have done that to you to ensure her grannys safety. The one who would marry Bao Junyan a few days later wouldve been my biological sister and Mu Huan, being completely useless by then, could have been dealt with as you desire. Also, things wouldnt have come to this stage such that we can only rely on her from now on!

She wanted to say something in her defense, but at the thought that she had indeed singlehandedly destroyed any chances of her daughter marrying Bao Junyan, she was unable to spit out a single word.

Just bear with it, Mom.

You want me to bear with it? Bear with it? She was practically in a rage now despite her being a composed and scheming person. Because of this matter, her position as the hospitals director had been revoked, and even though her image was considered clean once again, she had to lead a careful life of putting up with her mother-in-laws attitude.

For someone used to having a lofty status, the woman could not take this lying down at all. She, therefore, became very hot-tempered, no longer the composed person she used to be.

With Mu Huans current status as Mrs. Bao, the future of our family and mine now lie in her hand. What else can you do but bear with it? I hope youll be able to calm down and think for the sake of me, your son. Mu Zixuan had developed huge ambitions from a young age under his grandmas teachings, and he wanted many things. The Baos would be the stepping stone to his rise.

So, he hoped that his mother would just calm down and stop brainlessly picking trouble with his half-sister.

What do you think Mu Huan will help you with in the future?

With that incriminating evidence and her granny in our hands, shell be obedient as long as we dont go overboard. The boy relayed what he heard from his grandma to his mother.

Obedient, my *ss! That little b*tch is best at paying lip service!

Regardless, youll still have to keep out of trouble, Mom! Grandma will never agree to let you out. With that, he simply left the room.

Moments later, several black-clothed bodyguards stood guard by the doorway.

Bai Xuexian was utterly incensed.

I cant take this lying down! No way can I do that!

That little wretched thing whom I can easily squish to death and who dared not to retaliate when I beat and scold her, how dare she bite the hand that feeds her!

Ill surely turn in my grave if I dont kill her!

With her current situation, however, she could not even step out of the room, let alone go teach Mu Huan a lesson.

In her fury, she smashed everything in the room.

Simmer down, Mom. We might not be able to leave the house, but Mu Huan will be coming in! When the time comes, we can still teach her a lesson! Mu Kexin was being smart for once.

What do you mean by that?

Its Grandmas birthday feast in two days. Mu Huans bound to return and attend the event, so we can make use of this opportunity!

Having been upset and frustrated these past few days, Bai Xuexian had totally forgotten clean about her mother-in-laws upcoming birthday feast.

Mom, shall we get someone to secretly move Mu Huans granny over, get her to kneel before us, then beat the daylights out of her? The thought of that very scene had Mu Kexin squirming in excitement.

No, we cant use her granny against her. Even if she yields, shell come up with some other ways to get back at us. The older woman got a hold of herself immediately when she became aware of her impatience.

She also realized that she could no longer use Mu Huans granny to deal with her.

Destroying that stepdaughter of hers and rendering her as a useless pawn was what she should do!
