Chapter 129: All Businessmen Are Crafty (1)

“The entire medical industry has heard the news of the expiring partnership, so how could your grandma possibly not know? She surely wants this contract.” All of the Bao Group’s full-time employees were able to enjoy excellent medical welfare, whereby they and their immediate family would be able to claim a reimbursement of 90 and 30%, respectively, of their medical fees as long as they visited the company’s partner hospital when they were sick.

There were tens of thousands of employees across Yun Cheng. It was such a huge figure, especially if one included the employees’ family members. Hence, it was a partnership that every hospital wished to compete for.

“Not only is Grandma hankering after it, but she also wants you to be there in person to sign the contract with her,” answered Mu Huan, her voice carrying imperceptible hints of taunts.

“She’s trying to make public the news of the marriage between the two families.”

“Yes.”

“Go back and tell your grandma: Due to reasons regarding the operation of the Bao Group, the publicizing of the news of our marriage will have to wait until my father is in a better health condition to return to the country and officiate our wedding.”

The conglomerate might have long been handed over to Bao Junyan, but his father remained to be the one in power to the outside world. News of the latter being in such poor health that he was unable to officiate his son’s wedding would negatively affect the company’s share prices, and it was why his family did not release the news of his marriage.

The woman stared pensively at her husband for a while. “Why?” she could not resist asking, despite knowing she should not ask this question.

“Pardon?”

“Why do you still want to give my grandma all that she wants despite being clearly aware that she wants me to ask you for them?”

“It was for all these benefits that your family made you attend my matchmaking session and marry me, and my marrying you is a silent acquiescence to that.” The two did not wed out of love. Rather, their marriage was a union of interests.

“…”

He’s not wrong about that at all. It’s very much indeed so, but why do I feel terrible hearing such words from him?

Furthermore, I’ve admitted it myself that I married him for the benefits.

“The thing is, your grandma has treated you badly and your dad hasn’t done his duties as a father. They’re not worthy of you being filial to them. Let them manage the household on your behalf for now; I’ll give the entire Mu household as your graduation gift once you’ve graduated from college.” Bao Junyan extended a hand to stroke his wife on the head. Once she graduated and had the capability, she would then be able to run the household.

Previously, when Bai Xuexian drugged his wife, he had asked her about her father’s and grandma’s involvement in the matter. From her answer, she seemed to be very afraid that he would deal with the two. This made him realize that even though she was not foolishly filial, she was still very much concerned about them.

Never mind that she was unable to refuse her grandma’s request — all these would ultimately belong to her in the end.

His reply, once again, made Mu Huan look up in astonishment.

The man chuckled at the sight of her astonished look. “Why are you so surprised? You’re the rightful future owner of the household in the first place. No one else is qualified, nor can they snatch away what belongs to you.”

She should be the Mu family’s sole heir but, with the appearance of her stepmother, she got reduced to being a pitiful wretch and kicked out of the household without a penny.

He wanted to see just who was capable enough to steal what belonged to his wife!

“…”

Back then, when she was the only child of her family, her mother would often tell her that everything of the Mu household and of her granny’s household belonged to her, so she had to study hard in order to support the weight of two households. Mu Huan did as told and slogged her guts out in her studies with the goal of developing the Mu family’s hospital and expanding the Song family’s pharmaceutical business in mind. However, not only did she later lose her mother, but her grandma, her father, and even her granny’s household were also no longer hers, let alone the Mu household.

She had long forgotten clean that all of these belonged to her in the first place!
