Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs Chapter 316 – Give Mommy a Million

Chapter 316: Give Mommy a Million

Shao Xi didn’t notice Little Bei’s speechlessness and whispered, “If that brat Shao Nan comes, he’ll definitely hit it off with Old Master Ji.”

The three of them were mumbling, but Shao Qiyun was still feeling regretful.

When Shao Qihai saw that Shao Qiyun really regretted it, his eyes were filled with mockery. He really didn’t want to hear her wail anymore, so he pulled her up and dragged her out.

“Stop fantasizing about anything else. Take care of yourself in the future.”

Shao Qihai dragged Shao Qiyun outside before letting her go and turning back.

After Shao Qihai left with Shao Qiyun, the room fell silent. Mu Jingzhe quickly invited them to have some tea and fruits.

She also greeted Old Master Ji. When she realized that Xiao Wu kept staring at Old Master Ji, she was a little stunned.

Xiao Wu was acting like this because of Old Master Ji’s words. He hadn’t expected Old Master Ji to say such things when they had only met twice. This Grandpa Ji was a little scary, but he seemed to treat him quite well.

Of course, Old Master Ji also saw Xiao Wu looking at him. Actually, he had also been staring at Xiao Wu, but they couldn’t very well keep staring at each other.

“Xiao Wu, you’ve been looking at Great-Grandpa. Do you want to say something?”

Xiao Wu shook his head and avoided his gaze. After a few seconds, he turned around and continued staring at Old Master Ji.

Old Master Ji quickly caught him. “Do you really have nothing to say, Xiao Wu? You can ask me anything you want.”

Encouraged by Old Master Ji, Xiao Wu finally couldn’t help but ask, “Is what you said true?”

“Of course it’s true. You’re all here. As an adult, I naturally have to set an example. I wouldn’t lie.”

“Oh.” Xiao Wu nodded. He hesitated for a moment and then asked, “You just said that you’d give someone one million yuan if they treated me well. You didn’t give Shao Qiyun one million yuan because she treated me badly. Since Mommy has been treating me well, can you give her one million yuan?”

Xiao Wu didn’t really have to ask for a million yuan, but he wanted to ask.

Mu Jingzhe hadn’t expected Xiao Wu to ask such a question. She laughed when she heard that. Those were just words he said to toy with Shao Qiyun. Besides, she hadn’t done anything. How could she earn a million yuan just like that? “Xiao Wu, don’t spout nonsense. This isn’t reasonable…”

Old Master Ji suddenly smiled. “Yes, it’s quite reasonable.”

Mu Jingzhe looked at Old Master Ji in confusion. Old Master Ji chuckled and looked at Xiao Wu. “Xiao Wu, I will agree to whatever you ask of me. Besides, you’re completely right. Shao Qiyun, your biological mother, isn’t qualified. But you have a real mother. This mother is good to you, so you want to give the money to her. This is very reasonable, so I can totally give it to her, Xiao Wu.”

Xiao Wu was so smart that he had found the loophole in his words very quickly. He was smart enough to fight for benefits for his good mother. What a filial and bright child.

Although one million yuan was really a lot, wasn’t this basically giving money to his grandson in advance? He would just give it then. Mu Jingzhe wasn’t a member of the Ji Family now, but if she married Buwang in the future, they would be a family.

Even if they weren’t a family in the end, Xiao Wu had only survived and learned to speak because of her. She deserved this money. It would be money well spent.

Otherwise, Xiao Wu would still have been going to doctors everywhere and suffering. Since she had given Xiao Wu 100%, they would repay her 100%.

Old Master Ji wasn’t lying at all. Based on his expression, it didn’t seem like he was joking.

Mu Jingzhe’s jaw dropped. “No, Old Master Ji, don’t joke around.”

“I’m not joking. It’s the first time Xiao Wu’s asking me for something. How can I refuse? I have to agree no matter what.”

Mu Jingzhe: “…”

Who was she? Where was she? What was she doing? Was money really that easy to come by?

Xiao Wu: “…”

He had just made a casual remark. Why had he agreed?

It wasn’t 100 yuan, 1,000 yuan, or even 10,000 yuan, but a million yuan. Xiao Wu had a concept of money, so he could accept 10,000 yuan, but a million yuan really scared him.

Xiao Wu was so stunned that he couldn’t speak. Old Master Ji asked, “Xiao Wu, do you want cash directly, or do you want a house or something else that’s worth a million yuan?”

Xiao Wu: “I was just asking… I didn’t say I’d take it.”

“I keep my word. Since I said I’d give it, I’ll do it,” Old Master Ji said.

“But I really just wanted to ask.”

Xiao Wu looked at Mu Jingzhe, asking for help. Mu Jingzhe quickly said, “Grandpa Ji, don’t take it seriously. Xiao Wu was just curious.”

“I think Xiao Wu is making a lot of sense. Since he has already spoken, his words must be true.” Old Master Ji smiled. “Xiao Wu might not understand this. Jingzhe, tell me, what would you prefer?”

“No, no, don’t take it seriously.” Mu Jingzhe quickly shook her head.

“How about cash then?” Old Master Ji decided.

“No need. There’s really no need.” Was this the so-called pie that fell from the sky? But she couldn’t really accept it. Mu Jingzhe looked at Ji Buwang for help, indicating that he should stop Old Master Ji quickly. Unexpectedly, Ji Buwang’s gaze drifted away.

He wouldn’t stop his grandfather. He knew the Old Master the best. He could guess why he was doing this and what he was thinking. He had no objections either.

Mu Jingzhe hadn’t expected Ji Buwang to have such a reaction. This money was also his money, so why was he so indifferent? She could only say helplessly, “Ji Buwang, say something. You don’t think it’s reasonable either, right?”

“No.” Ji Buwang’s voice slowly faded away under Mu Jingzhe’s gaze. “When it comes to this, I… I have no right to say anything else.”

Seeing that Ji Buwang didn’t dare speak as Mu Jingzhe stared at him, Old Master Ji clicked his tongue silently. He was already afraid of his wife before even marrying her. Talk about being henpecked. Tsk tsk… This grandson of his couldn’t compare to him at all.

Back then, he’d had a lot of prestige outside. His wife had given him a lot of face. How she hit him or nagged him at home was one thing, but outside, he would be an indomitable man.

His grandson couldn’t even straighten his back outside.

While he felt disdain on his grandson’s behalf, Old Master Ji dealt with it himself. When Shao Qihai returned after getting Shao Qiyun out, he heard Mu Jingzhe and Old Master Ji arguing over a million yuan again. Except, earlier on, Shao Qiyun had wanted it and the Old Master had refused to give it to her. Now, Old Master Ji wanted to give it to Mu Jingzhe, but the latter refused.

The two of them pushed each other, looking very much like people who refused to accept red packet money that relatives gave them during the New Year.

But that wasn’t a red packet on New Year’s Day. That was a million yuan. He wished that there was something wrong with his ears and it wasn’t a million yuan but a hundred.

However, it was indeed one million yuan. At that very moment, Old Master Ji wanted to give the one million yuan that Shao Qiyun had tried with all her might to get just now to Mu Jingzhe. Unfortunately, he couldn’t.

He wondered if Shao Qiyun would directly ascend to heaven from anger if she saw this.

For a moment, Shao Qihai didn’t know if he should be glad that he had taken Shao Qiyun out as soon as possible or find it a pity that he had taken Shao Qiyun out too early and missed the opportunity to anger her to death.

Shao Qihai’s face was numb. He had only gone out for a short while. Anyone who didn’t know better would think that he had gone to the moon and back.
