Chapter 577: The Training Ground
Mu Chongli had always been curious about what kind of girl his precious son would be attracted to.
It wasn’t until she had successfully completed an operation that many doctors in the hospital wouldn’t do for Madame Si that he realized that he needed to get to know this little girl.
In terms of beauty, at such a young age, she hadn’t really grown up yet. Puberty does wonders for women, so she had infinite potential in the future.
Jingdu didn’t have any shortage of women who were more beautiful and more age-appropriate for Mu Feichi.
To be the madame of the Mu family’s patriarch…simply having beauty was perhaps enough.
But to be Mu Feichi’s wife, simply having beauty was far from enough.
He was a man from the Mu family. He carried the entire Mu family on his shoulders and faced the threat of death at all times.
His woman couldn’t be his weakness, nor could she be his burden.
Only if they were evenly matched and rose above the herd could she stand by his side. Otherwise, she would only become an existence that dragged him down.
And his stupid son had chosen her…
The reason for his determination was ridiculous in the eyes of him, his father.
Accompany him to a battlefield?
How could she, a girl with a scalpel, accompany him?
Even if she became a doctor, she would only be able to work behind the scenes. If she didn’t have enough abilities, she could still become a weakness for him.
Therefore, while Mu Feichi was away, Mu Chongli wanted to see how capable this woman, who had a marriage contract with the Jiang family, had also been a lifesaver of the Chen family, a target of the Han family, and the Su family’s enemy, was.
She alone could influence the four major families. This advantage allowed her to control the situation, but could also easily become her Achilles’ heel.
It all depended on whether she was just a pretty vase or someone with actual substance.
Knowing how to balance the power dynamic between the prominent families in Jingdu was a skill that the madame of a clan’s ruler should know.
If she was empty-headed, then even if Mu Feichi objected, he would stop him in the end.
Mu Chongli withdrew his gaze. His sharp eyes still filled with curiosity and criticism, he said, “Miss Yun, you don’t seem to be surprised to see me. Since you aren’t, can you guess why I have come to see you?”
Yun Xi shook her head slightly. She really didn’t know what Mu Chongli was looking for, but she knew it must be related to his son.
If it weren’t for Mu Feichi, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to have any contact with such a big shot.
“My son admires you very much.”
Yun Xi smiled. Mu Chongli got straight to the point, so she didn’t need to be evasive either.
“In your eyes, I’m afraid that Young Marshal Mu’s appreciation for me isn’t enough to move you.”
“Yes! You’re very smart.” Mu Chongli nodded. “From what I know about my kid, he’s probably granted you the position of Madame Mu, am I right?”
Yun Xi didn’t deny it, and nodded.
Mu Chongli felt a little uneasy. That rascal had actually done so.
“Well, what do you think? Do you think you’re capable and qualified enough to sit in that position?”
Her eyes gleaming with determination and calm, Yun Xi shook her head.
“Young Marshal Mu deserves a better woman than I am. With his status, he needs someone who can stand by his side and be evenly matched with him, not a little girl like me, who has no power, no distinguished background, and is even dragged down by bad relatives. What’s more, my relationship with Young Marshal Mu isn’t the kind of relationship you think it is.”
“Whether it is or not, he’s adamant that you’re his one and only. I know my son, and no one can change his mind.”
Yun Xi also felt a little helpless. After several months of getting along, she understood Mu Feichi and naturally understood that no one could change his mind.
“So, I’ll give you the chance to either persuade him to give up on you or use your strength to allow me to acknowledge you.”
Yun Xi froze, and her clear eyes appeared confused. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean.”
“We’re now driving to the training ground. If you can rely on your strength to get out, I won’t interfere in this matter between you and my son.”
