The politician spat curtly, "Who else could I be referring to other than that shrewd and cunning cousin of yours?! He has been using his family's resources to set up and grow his own company for a long time! No one among his kin knew about it because he covered it up by putting Lu Jinyu's name as the legal person when he established Shengyu Financial Group. He only changed the name to himself a few days ago, and just last night, his net worth skyrocketed, making him a multi-billionaire, after his company became listed on the New York Stock Exchange! Hah! I've really underestimated his capabilities! I thought he had lost everything after leaving the Mu family!"1

His daughter, who was sitting in the living room, watching TV, listened to his words with much astonishment. Her eyelids even furiously twitched at this news.

"What are you saying, dad? How did that trending Shengyu Financial Group suddenly become Brother Mu's company?!"

"Don't you get it at all? He's been planning for this day a long time ago! I bet Mu Lingfeng must be hopping mad now to know that he's groomed an ingrate! Not only did that chap snatch away plenty of his kin's resources, the shareholders and investors, who withdrew their shares from the Mu Group, all transferred them to Shengyu Financial Group! The Mu Group must've suffered a great loss from the double blows!"

The young missy pushed everything aside as her face turned pale in shock.

Her mother dumbly asked, "Are you saying that he's already started planning for himself, establishing Shengyu Financial Group, since a few years back? Then… that company is his?!"

"Who else could it be?!" the man answered hotly. "To think I failed to discover anything fishy about the company in the past few occasions I had dealings with it! I've never expected myself… to be so thoroughly played by that chap! He made use of that land he took from me to get financing. He must be living it well now!"

Upon hearing that, Song Enya bit her bottom lip so hard that her facial muscles went twitching.

Sheesh!

What is this?!

What the hell is this?!

Ever since that matter, her love for Mu Yazhe had turned into hatred, and it ran deep to the bone.

She was even gloating about how the man had become down and out after leaving the Mu Group and was looking forward to strutting her stuff in front of that actress the day she became Young Madame Mu. She wanted to see just how despondent that infuriating couple had become for herself!

She believed that that extraordinary man, after leaving the Mu Group and losing that coveted position, had fallen from grace.

Pursuing love?

Giving up fame and fortune for the sake of love?

Things will be different for me by then!

As long as Mu Yancheng acknowledges the child in my stomach and I marry into the family, I'll become the young matriarch of the Mus!

She was not concerned about that fellow refusing to acknowledge the child, for she had plenty of ways to force him into doing so!

Yun Shishi, however, would gain nothing from following a down-and-out man. The very thought of it made her blood boil in excitement!

She also wanted to see how regretful, lowly, and pathetic that man, who was always full of mettle, had become after abandoning his family, giving up his successor position, and losing all his wealth as well as influence all because he had chosen that skank!

Now?
