Chapter 114: It Is Time for You to Return My Favor

In the end, she was forced to get into the car.

Nobody dared to ask the man about where he was going to bring her to and how he was going to punish her.

Holding their breath, they watched him get into the car, and it was not until the fleet of cars had disappeared from their sight that they finally recomposed themselves.

Mu Zixuan grabbed hold of his grandmother’s arm as he exclaimed, “Grandma, you have to save Mommy! I know she has done many terrible things, but she’s still my mother! What will become of me if I have to watch her suffer before my eyes? What… what can I do in the future?”

She looked at him and said in a tone of utter resignation, “What can your grandma do here?”

The boy could sense only despondency coming from the old lady…

The heavy thunderstorm seemed to wash the world afresh.

By the time Bao Junyan reached home, the girl was in a deep sleep.

Her little angelic face contrasted sharply with the raging storm outside. For someone who was not bothered with anything in life except work, the man suddenly had a strong desire to protect her for the rest of her life as he watched her sleeping soundly.

He tiptoed across the room to get to the bathroom.

After showering, he got into bed. The girl, in her groggy state, intuitively cozied up to him like a kitten drawing nearer to its owner’s arms. After finding a comfortable sleeping posture in his embrace, she fell sound asleep once more.

Looking at her fair, little face, he felt that angels should look like his wife when they fell asleep.

In the beginning, he was merely attracted to her docility, but now, the more he looked at her, the more satisfied he was with her. Such an adorable girl should be leading a carefree life under his protective wings.

Whoever dared to hurt and antagonize her would not be spared!

The next day, the sky had turned clear and picturesque after last night’s thunderstorm.

Bao Junyan was gone by the time she woke up.

She heaved a sigh of relief subconsciously.

After her meal, she was about to leave the house when the housekeeper informed her, “Madam, your brother and your grandma are here.”

She knew what had prompted them to come for a visit. Honestly, she was not keen to see them at all, but she knew that before she managed to successfully save her granny from the Mu family, she had to learn to live with her grandma for now.

“Let them in.”

After the matriarch came in with her grandson, the housekeeper took her leave.

As the old lady looked at Mu Huan, she suddenly realized that forcing this girl to attend Bao Junyan’s matchmaking feast had been a wrong decision to being with. She had unwittingly given the girl the power to fight with her. Nope, it was worse, the girl now had the power to destroy her even.

But there was no point regretting it now.

Luckily, she managed to hold a trump card in her hand, such that whatever her granddaughter had right now could be easily destroyed by her. This was how she could still manipulate the girl.

The boy went up to her, grabbed her arm, and pleaded, “Sis, I beg you, please ask Brother-in-law to spare my mother! I can promise you that I won’t let her do anything to you again — I swear! If you spare her, I’ll send her back to her hometown so she’ll never appear before your eyes again!”

“Don’t address me as your sister. My mother has passed away and I have no brother.”

“Sis, regardless of your willingness to acknowledge me, I’m still your sibling. The same bloodline runs through our veins!” The boy would always address Mu Huan as his sister every time he saw her, although no one could tell what he really thought of her.

“There’s no kinship between us, so it’s pointless for you to try to bring up the family talk.” The girl would not let her stepmother off this time. Showing kindness to her enemy would be doing herself a grave injustice. She was not so dumb as to do that.

“Sis, remember how you had asked for help from us when you needed the money for your granny’s surgery? I was the one who persuaded Grandma to save your granny who was seriously ill at the time. You said then that you owed me a favor, and so now, I’d like to ask you to return this favor to me. Can’t you spare my mother, please?”

He knew that his sister was one who would repay acts of kindness.

He had saved her granny’s life once, and this would be a good chance for her to repay this favor.
