“The Zhang family has an awkward position in the upper-class circle of Yan City. They can’t squeeze into the elites, but they’re more powerful than ordinary wealthy people. The Su embroidery workshop was a springboard for them to enter the upper-class circle. However, when the embroidery workshop was at its peak in Yan City, the Zhang family was still lurking somewhere! Now, they actually dared to put their hands into the embroidery workshop!”

“But you also know that the Mu family’s current situation is not very optimistic. Ever since six years ago, a mysterious force has been secretly targeting our Mu family. Otherwise, even if Little Uncle wasn’t good at doing business, we wouldn’t have declined so quickly with the wealth that our Mu family has accumulated for many years.”

“We don’t know who they are, but they are extremely ruthless. They seem to loathe us. And the most terrifying thing is that they thoroughly know everything about the Mu family’s treasures.” Only the Mu family should be aware of this. Zhao Yue was a child that Old Master Mu had adopted from a welfare home.

Over the years, Zhao Yue learned a lot under Old Master Mu’s guidance. Although she was a little older than Mu Qingyu, she was already able to take charge of the business world by herself.

The force that attacked the Mu family’s business came from overseas. The Mu family had only been running their own group honestly all these years. They had not been involved in any overseas business. Therefore, they wouldn’t be able to figure out the identity of the mastermind behind the mysterious force. They could only watch as the business that their family had accumulated for many years was swallowed up by the other party bit by bit.

If it wasn’t for Mu Qingyu’s marriage to the Shen family, they wouldn’t have been able to keep their main branch, let alone their branch in Yan City.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Yue was still talking. “Qingyu, I won’t beat around the bush with you. The headquarters of the embroidery workshop is in Jingchuan. It’s already difficult for us to control the branch in Yan City. Grandma has also become popular these days, but we already owe the Shen family too much. We don’t know how to pay them back… If you and Shen Jingmo only considered marriage because you had a great relationship, many things would be much easier to do.”

But now, Mu Qingyu was living under someone else’s roof, and the Mu family couldn’t even take care of themselves. There were major problems with the operations of the headquarters. No matter how anxious their grandmother was, she could not deal with the branch. She couldn’t possibly force Mu Qingyu to beg the Shen family to help her take back the branch, right?

Not to mention that the Mu family’s eldest branch pampered Mu Qingyu like a princess when they were alive, even when her youngest uncle and aunt raised her, they never let her suffer a bit. The marriage alliance had already made Mu Qingyu suffer a lot. How could they let her give up her last dignity for such a thing?

Mu Qingyu wasn’t a fool. She understood the meaning behind Zhao Yue’s words. She let out a deep sigh and muttered, “I understand. Now that things had come to this, there was no other way.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Zhao Yue had always been on good terms with Mu Qingyu. After Mu Qingyu married into Yan City for so long, she only had time to care about Mu Qingyu’s current situation.

“How are you getting along with Shen Jingmo? He didn’t bully you, right?”

“It’s pretty good. He didn’t bully me.” The Mu family was already in a mess. Mu Qingyu didn’t want them to worry about her anymore, so she lied with her swollen eyes.

“Madam Shen is an old friend of my parents, so she has always been kind to me. A few days ago, Shen Jingmo took me to the old residence to have a meal with the rest of the Shen family. They’re all very good to me.” However, Shen Jingmo himself did not seem to like her that much.

“How did you know?” Mu Qingyu asked after a long pause.

“Last week, Little Uncle and Little Aunt were at home talking about your marriage with Shen Jingmo. I heard it.” Ever since Mu Qingyu took the initiative to propose a marriage to the Shen family, Mu Qingfeng was the most depressed person in the entire family. He felt that he was to blame for everything. If it wasn’t for him, his sister wouldn’t have to marry so far away.

On the surface, Mu Qingyu said that she was doing this for their corporation. Despite knowing the actual reason, everyone just kept their mouths shut.

If it wasn’t for the fact that her brother had to spend money like water every day due to his illness, Mu Qingyu wouldn’t have gone to the extent of arranging a marriage no matter how much the Mu Family Corporation declined.
