Chapter 124: I Will Be Good to You from Now Onward
Some things were better left unsaid.
PA w.a.n.g was rather surprised to hear his boss retracting his order. In all his years of service, he had not seen him retracting his word after he’d made up his mind.
“Go and get busy.” The man turned to look at the papers on his table instead.
His a.s.sistant knew he had better not probe further after hearing that.
After his a.s.sistant left the room, he continued to work on his doc.u.ment. While signing his name on the paper, his mind wandered again to the status of their relations.h.i.+p. The thought that his docile wifey might have had a relations.h.i.+p with his nephew disturbed him so much that the pen that he was holding in his hand broke into half with his blunt force.
And then, his mind wandered further. He realized that there was a likelihood that his nephew had been rejected by Mu Huan and, thus, he had badmouthed her to save face. In the end, he decided not to look for the young chap to speak to him about his current girlfriend. He had wanted to warn him about Lin Qingya, but that would mean his mind would be unsettled again, and he did not want that.
At the hospital.
Today was the day that Mu Huan had planned to secretly transfer her granny out of captivity. First, she drugged the guards outside the hospital room and then got Wu Xingye to hack the surveillance system to create a false impression that the cameras had malfunctioned.
After the guards were doped into dreamland, she, along with Li Meng and Wu Xingye, dressed up as the hospital medical staff. Armed with surgical masks and a trolley bed, the three of them slipped into her granny’s room.
After carefully transferring the old lady onto the trolley, they thought they were on the brink of success as they were about to push her granny out when the door suddenly burst open.
In came Matriarch Mu with her team of bodyguards in black suits, blocking the door.
The knuckles on the girl’s hands turned stiff from gripping hard on the trolley handle.
The old lady swept her gaze across the room nonchalantly, and without any change in expression, she told the girl, “Xiao Huan, get your friends outside first. Grandma here wants to speak to you alone.”
Mu Huan’s grip on the trolley tightened for a few seconds before she looked at her friends, signaling them to leave the room first.
