“I know you can’t take it lying down, but you must suppress your anger, no matter what it takes! Perform well tonight and don’t cause trouble. Otherwise, I won’t let you off no matter how your son pleads mercy on your behalf!” warned Matriarch Mu sternly.

She understood this daughter-in-law of hers well. With her having lived in the lap of luxury for years, her nose was high up in the air now and she could not tolerate anyone trampling over her head. Now that she had found out about Mu Huan being the culprit of her predicament, she would surely not spare her.

Of course, if possible, the old lady wanted to keep her locked up today as well. For the sake of cleaning up her image for the last time, however, she needed her gracefully attending her birthday feast. Hence, all she could do was to inject her with a stern verbal warning beforehand.

“Mother, no matter how insensible I might be, I would never cause trouble and have any funny ideas on your birthday banquet.” Bai Xuexian raised her head, looking all docile and obedient.

The former scrutinized her coldly for a while. “It’d better be!”

Before leaving, the elderly woman added, “As a matter of fact, the fault isn’t all on Xiao Huan. If you had conducted yourself properly, treated your husband with respect, cherished your reputation, and did not harbor any funny thoughts, would you have fallen into her trap?”

She still could not get over the fact that her daughter-in-law had betrayed and made a cuckold out of her son, and so, there was no way she could treat her fairly with a good attitude.

Bai Xuexian’s eyes drooped. She knew, no matter how obediently she behaved from now on, it would all be futile. Her existence was akin to a pesky fly in that old hag’s heart now.

Her stepdaughter, if left undestroyed, would only become increasingly useful to the old hag while her life would grow increasingly hard. She could hardly imagine herself leading such a life, let alone living it for real!

Thus, her mother-in-law’s warning did not change her mind about tonight’s plan of destroying Mu Huan. On the contrary, it fortified her determination of implementing that plan! Destroying Mu Huan was a must!

After changing her clothes, she summoned her daughter to the room.

Downstairs…

“Why isn’t Bao Junyan here yet?” asked Matriarch Mu with a frown upon noticing that Mu Huan was here alone.

“He said that he has an important meeting to attend and will be here later,” answered her granddaughter with drooping eyes.

“Are you sure he’ll be here later?” Her gaze grew considerably stern.

Mu Huan: “I’ll call him later and urge him to hurry.”

“I’ll not let you off if he doesn’t show up!” What she was looking forward to the most today was Bao Junyan attending her birthday feast and, thus, giving her face!

Since the Baos had never announced the news of Bao Junyan’s marriage to the public after the two wedded, the Mus naturally dared not reveal the fact that Mu Huan was married to him as well. Hence, the old lady wanted everyone to know that the two families were related by marriage and let those who ridiculed her previously to be in envy of her for having Bao Junyan as a grandson-in-law.

So, she would never accept her granddaughter not calling him over.

Mu Huan bowed her head and kept silent.

Her grandma wanted to say more, but upon noticing the arrival of an important guest, she shot her a furious glare before heading off to greet the guest.

She then sent her husband a message: “Hubby, what time will you be arriving?”

It took a long while before the man finally replied.

“Once the meeting is over.”

Mu Huan: “…”

So, what time will the meeting end?

She dare not ask him outright, though, so she could only patiently wait for him.

Upon sighting his daughter, Mu Dongsheng wanted to go over and pester her about that five million again. So, he picked up a cup of her favorite fruit juice and was walking in her direction when he was called by his wife halfway.

He looked toward Bai Xuexian. “What do you want?”

While her parents were speaking, Mu Kexin seized the chance to drug that cup of fruit juice.
