Chapter 764: Battle
Mu Chen sneered. “There’s no need to worry. We won’t let them get away with this. They’re trying to benefit from both sides, right? Then, we’ll stir up trouble for them. Ning Zhe and Ye He have enmity between them, to begin with. Why don’t we let them fight each other first while we sit back and reap the benefits.” After a brief pause, he continued to say, “The Yin family said they want you to return to take over the family business, but they’re actually playing dirty tricks in the dark and harboring ill intentions. Very well, I’ll help you seize what’s rightfully yours. In the end, the Yin family will rightfully be under your name.”
Cheng Che’s expression was gloomy.
Mu Chen patted Cheng Che’s shoulder and continued to say, “Fool, don’t be sad. Don’t think about blood relations. It’s not worth it. They’re scheming against you using your blood relations to them. Whoever’s soft-hearted will lose. Treat this like a battle when we’re doing business.”
Cheng Che raised his head and looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen asked, “Do you feel better if I put it this way?”
Cheng Che nodded slightly.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Xiao An rose to his feet and opened the door, revealing Mu Chen’s secretary.
“Chairman Mu, President Cheng, Miss Yin Yi and Miss Guan Tang are here.”
Mu Chen and Cheng Che exchanged a look.
…
Cheng Che frowned and said plainly, “Let them wait in the office. We’re in a meeting.”
“Understood.”
After the secretary left, Han Mo looked at Mu Chen and said, “Chairman Mu, I’m afraid Miss Yin Yi came for you.”
“I’ve already warned her about this,” Cheng Che said as his frown deepened.
Mu Chen patted Cheng Che’s shoulder again and said, “Sometimes, a woman’s persistence is beyond our imagination. It’s not good to alert them at this time. Forget it. Let’s face them together.”
Cheng Che still felt guilt, and it was written all over his face.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen playfully punched Cheng Che’s arm and said, “Don’t be like this. It’s not your fault. I’ve said this before. Forget about that family! Treat this as another battle two of us must face together!”
Cheng Che straightened his back and looked at Mu Chen before he nodded with a determined expression on his face. “Yes, Brother. I understand.”
Mu Chen said, “The Mu family has been through many things over years. I’ve never treated you as an outsider, and you’ve never treated yourself as an outsider either. Why are you suddenly treating me like an outsider now that you’re in trouble?”
Cheng Che said sheepishly, “Brother, I just felt guilty…”
The two brothers looked at each other silently with a smile on their faces.
At this moment, the fog in Cheng Che’s heart finally dissipated.
‘Brother’s right. The most important thing is who raised and nurtured me, not blood relations. Why should I care about them?’
…
After Guan Tang and Yin Yi were brought into Cheng Che’s office, Yin Yi was filled with confidence. On the other hand, Guan Tang carefully studied the interior of the office as she thought about what she should do when she saw Cheng Che later.
As soon as Cheng Che and Mu Chen entered the office, Yin Yi rushed over and greeted Cheng Che. “Brother, you’re here.”
Then, Yin Yi reached out to grab Mu Chen’s sleeve, but Mu Chen skillfully moved to the side, successfully avoiding her hand.
Yin Yi was neither angry nor dejected. She stood in front of Mu Chen and said, “Brother Mu Chen, I came to apologize to you.”
Mu Chen took a seat on the couch, and when Yin Yi was about to sit next to him, he looked at her with eyes that shone with a hint of disgust.
Upon seeing this, Yin Yi said, slightly embarrassed, “I’m really sorry. I came to apologize for the incident previously. I caused trouble for you and even made Dr. Song unhappy, right?” Then, she sighed as she continued to say, “Dr. Song is really something. She didn’t even bother to find out the truth before she got angry at you. She’s really too petty.”
Yin Yi complained whole-heartedly, seizing the chance to drag Song Ning down.
