Chapter 88 -88 The CEO Prepares to Visit His Mother-in-Law_1

When she entered Hill University, her father’s construction company had already developed into a renowned large company in C City.

Therefore, she felt very proud.

But suddenly one day, she learned that the company was facing bankruptcy. The first thought that popped into her head was: The company was her father’s life work; it couldn’t just disappear like that.

Just as her family was in total disarray, a person who was willing to help appeared out of the blue.

However, the condition was that she had to leave Mu Yingchen and could never be with him again.

She thought, if sacrificing her happiness could ensure her father’s safety, prevent him from being prosecuted and imprisoned, and help him reclaim the achievements of his lifetime, then she was willing. Even if she loved Mu Yingchen deeply, she couldn’t just stand by and watch her father be sent to jail.

So, she signed the contract, and even involved her mother in that agreement.

All of this would become the pain of her life!

“Xiaxia, listen to Mom!” Su’s mother suddenly snapped back to reality from Su Wanxia’s words, looking at her anxiously.

“Mom, don’t lie to me anymore, I have grown up. I have the right to know the truth about what happened!”

A trace of sadness crossed the eyes of Su’s mother. The truth? The reality of the matter might never be completely clear.

“Xiaxia, Mom will tell you, I’ll tell you everything!” Su’s mother pulled Su Wanxia to sit down at the edge of the sofa, her gaze dimmed, she sighed deeply and slowly began to speak.

“At that time— not only was the Mu family a business tycoon in C City, but it was also a leading enterprise in the whole of Asia. Your father struggled for more than a decade, finally building a successful business, but it was this very success in the business world that caused trouble with the Mu family.”

Su’s mother’s voice was tinged with the weariness of years. Su Wanxia listened intently with serious eyes.

“At that time, the person managing the Mu family was Yingchen’s mother—” Su’s mother paused, and then with some difficulty, she uttered three words: “Jing Lanzhi.”

“Her methods were always ruthless; some companies that crossed her would find themselves bankrupt overnight.”

“It might have been that when she had someone investigate our information, they found out about you, and then she discovered that you were actually with Yingchen, so she asked you to leave Yingchen in order not to let him find out, offering a hundred million in funding for you to leave Yingchen and go abroad for five years as part of the exchange.”

“So, it’s not because of you; on the contrary, it’s you who traded your own happiness for everything the Su family has now.”

Su Wanxia looked at her mother with a hint of skepticism, uncertainly asking, “Is that true?”

Su’s mother held her hand, speaking softly, “Xiaxia, why don’t you believe what Mom says? You were with Yingchen for two years; how could a person like her not know anything? She targeted us, and that’s why you got involved.”

Su Wanxia nodded half-believingly, but she always felt that there was something not quite right.

Yet what her mother said did indeed make sense, and she couldn’t find any flaws in it.

“Xiaxia, it’s been so long since the incident, why are you bringing it up now? Is it because of Yingchen and you?” Su’s mother asked tentatively.

“Mom, I just want to understand the whole story.” Back then, she was young, the situation was critical, and there was no time to think about why the company was facing a financial crisis overnight. She only thought about how to keep her dad from being indicted.

So the moment Mu Yingchen’s mother appeared, she endured all the pain and agreed to her terms.

“And you and Yingchen.”

Su Wanxia paused, her voice bitter, “Mom, he already has a fiancée.”

Upon hearing this, Su’s mother sighed with resignation. “Xiaxia, his marriage was inevitable sooner or later. You, don’t—” She couldn’t bring herself to say ‘don’t see him anymore,’ because continuing on this path would only bring suffering to her daughter.

“Mm, I know,” said Su Wanxia, pressing down the bitterness in her heart as she spoke softly.

“Your mom and dad only have you as their daughter. If others don’t cherish you, we will.”

“Mom,” Su Wanxia gently leaned on her mother’s shoulder, her clear eyes slightly red. She was truly heartbroken, truly distressed.

“Xiaxia, what’s yours is yours. Coveting what isn’t yours will be of no use, don’t torment yourself.”

“Mm-”

Su Wanxia didn’t go back to the company for the rest of the morning, because with her current emotional state, she wouldn’t have been able to work seriously even if she had gone. It was better to stay at home and calm down in peace.

The most important thing was that she suddenly feared seeing him and Bai Yudie. Seeing them would make her feel like the third wheel, like she was the surplus one.

After finishing his business, Mu Yingchen immediately made a phone call.

“Where is she?”

“Young Master Mu, Miss Su took a taxi home by herself and hasn’t come out since.”

“Hmm, you can go back,” he ordered.

“Yes!”

After hanging up, he furrowed his brows in confusion. What exactly had happened?

Why were her eyes looking at him so coldly? They had been fine just yesterday.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He instructed his driver to go back and drove himself to Su Wanxia’s house.

Sitting in his car, he dialed her number over and over, but all he got in return was the incessant ring of no answer, no answer.

He closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat for a long while before suddenly opening them, lifting his hand to the car door, and stepping out with graceful ease.

Glancing at the tightly closed front door not far away, he slowly lifted his feet and walked over with composure.

Just as he was about to press the doorbell, he suddenly remembered an important issue: the last time he came to her place was on her birthday night. He had helped bring her inside because she couldn’t manage the flowers on her own, and although he had met her parents, he hadn’t brought any gifts.

But now, in broad daylight, would it be somewhat remiss to meet his mother-in-law with empty hands?

Mu Yingchen, who never bothered with the chores of buying gifts and the like, now found himself standing empty-handed in front of his future wife’s house, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He knew about etiquette, but usually, people lined up to curry favor with him. He had never personally bought a gift to visit anyone—except for Su Wanxia, whose gifts he always handpicked himself.

Even when visiting his grandfather every year or buying gifts for his mother, he let his assistant arrange everything, and he only had to articulate what to buy.

But now, to win his mother-in-law’s favor, it was essential for him to choose some gifts himself.

Having realized this, Mu Yingchen returned to his car and drove off toward the shopping mall.

Arriving at the mall, he headed straight for a brand store that seemed somewhat familiar. There weren’t many brands that he remembered, but if he did remember one, it meant it was the best.

As he entered the store, the sales associates inside all gasped in awe. Since it was a high-end boutique area with not much foot traffic, Mu Yingchen’s arrival was particularly noticeable, stunning the flock of female sales associates into dazed immobility.
