C1000 A Father Without Any Bargaining Chips
Mu Jing wasn't very satisfied with Ling Tong's answer.1
He said, "Ling Tong, Zhiyuan loves you. He will definitely listen to you. As long as you tell him, he will inform me. This is a very small matter to you. Are you not willing to give Uncle Mu a definite answer?"
"Uncle Mu, it's not that I'm unwilling to give you an answer, but I respect Zhiyuan's choice."
Ling Tong's tone was indifferent. "Uncle Mu can go and find Zhiyuan himself. You have also said that you are father and son. What is there that you cannot say?"
She would not casually agree to Mu Jing's request.
Not only did she respect Zhiyuan, in her heart, she no longer had the respect she had for Mu Jing in the past.
Aunt Ai Shi was so good to Mu Jing. However, Mu Jing cheated on Su Shu when Chuchen was only two years old. Chuchen was three years old. Mu Xiaohuan was born, but Mu Jing kept it a secret. He made Auntie Ai Shi die without knowing that she was betrayed.
Once Auntie Ai Shi died, Mu Jing could not wait to marry Su Shu into the family. He even allowed Su Shu and her daughter to bully Mu Zhiyuan. All these things made Ling Tong lose her favorable impression and respect towards Mu Jing.
Mu Jing choked on Ling Tong's words.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "Ling Tong, you also know that I have a falling out with Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan doesn't even want the position of the successor of Mu's. He needs to start a new life."
In the past, no matter how Su Shu treated Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan could tolerate it because he valued the Mu's and was afraid that it would fall into Su Shu's hands.
It was only because he knew that his son valued the Mu's that Mu Jing dared to be so fearless. However, when his son was willing to let go of the Mu's, he no longer had any bargaining chips and started to be at a disadvantage.
Of course, he could suppress his son's new company like before.
However, that would only make the relationship between the father and son even worse.
Mu Jing still wanted to salvage the relationship between the father and son. He did not want to be so close to each other that they would die of old age or even be enemies.
"If you didn't suppress him in the past, why would he be restricted to the Mu's?"
Mu Jing:... "
Ling Tong really wanted to ask how Mu Jing became a father. Thinking about how she was still a junior after all, there was a high possibility that she would be Mu Jing's daughter-in-law in the future, she swallowed the words that she wanted to ask.
"Alright. After you guys confirm the wedding date, ask Zhiyuan for his opinion and inform me. I will arrange the marriage for you guys."
Mu Jing also did not want to have a falling out with Ling Tong. He still hoped that this future daughter-in-law could resolve the conflict between him and Zhiyuan.
Ling Tong smiled and said, "Uncle Mu, I will."
Mu Jing nodded again. He thought for a while and asked, "Ling Tong, if you and Zhiyuan are married, can you move back?"
He said, "I want you to move back. When you give birth, I will retire and go home to help you take care of the child."
"Uncle Mu, this depends on Zhiyuan. If Zhiyuan is willing to move back, I will naturally move back with him. If he is not willing, we will live outside."
Zhiyuan also had property under his name. He really did not need to move back. He and Su Shu stared at each other.
Also, she was the daughter-in-law of Mu Family after she married Zhiyuan. No matter what, Su Shu was Zhiyuan's stepmother, her mother-in-law. It was easy for there to be conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her father-in-law was a person who was biased towards his mother-in-law. Once there was a conflict, it would definitely cause a family war.
This was not what Ling Tong wanted to see, and she believed that Mu Zhiyuan would not be willing to either.
He hated Su Shu and her daughter to the core.
"They live outside... It was too cold outside. It was better to move back. There were many people. It was lively. Ling Tong, just tell Zhiyuan. Don't worry. As long as you move back, I promise you. No one will dare to bully you and your wife. I am the one."
