Chapter 409: Brought Death Back (1)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

There wasn’t any trap, just an ordinary multiple-choice question. However, the most simple and unadorned things tested the heart the most. Huo Weichen and Yun Shujing were both ants on a hot pan, and the Mu family’s attitude would determine Huo Weichen’s future life. So, would Mu Qingya lend a helping hand?

Yun Shujing didn’t understand this train of thought. Instead of begging Mu Qingya, she might as well beg Huo Jiuxiao.

On the third floor, in Huo Shengyuan and Mu Qingya’s study, Yun Shujing was sitting on the sofa. After thinking for a long time, she didn’t know what to say.

Mu Qingya knew that things wouldn’t be simple, so she pretended to be dumb. “Mom, Zizhen will understand. Don’t worry.”

“Qingya, I’m not looking for you because of Zizhen. I want you to help Weichen.” Yun Shujing finally got to the point. “Something happened to him and he needs your help now. You’re his only hope now.”

Mu Qingya sat up straight when she heard the words “life-saving rice”. “Besides, you agreed to abolish the ancestral hall back then, right?”

Yun Shujing immediately used his words to pull Mu Qingya up. Mu Qingya had no choice but to nod and admit that she had indeed said that she would have the Mu family’s support in the future. However, that was only limited to Huo Shengyuan’s matters. Didn’t Yun Shujing know that? Her husband’s name was Huo Shengyuan.

“Mom, if you have something to say, just say it.” Mu Qingya said seriously.

“It’s like this. A warehouse in Jinzhou caught fire tonight. That’s your brother’s warehouse. There are many valuable items inside…”

“There’s no need to use the Mu family for this.”

“Those items were all smuggled by him. They have already attracted the attention of the police.”

Mu Qingya’s brows furrowed tightly when she heard this. This kind of public event was the most difficult to deal with and could easily get herself into trouble. Moreover, Huo Weichen had just been chased out of the house last night, and the warehouse was burned down today. It was obvious that the person downstairs was involved. This could easily lead to the Mu family falling into someone else’s chessboard.

“Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to help you or Weichen, but the Mu family might not be able to help with such a big matter. My second uncle is about to retire. At most, he’ll help me look after Shengyuan. Do you understand?” Mu Qingya hinted at Yun Shujing.

Of course, Yun Shujing understood what she meant. However, she couldn’t just watch her son go to jail. Hence, she continued to plead. ‘Give me a call and ask. At the very least, let me know if Weichen is in danger. Qingya, only you can help me now.”

“What did Dad say?”

“Your father doesn’t care about my son’s life at all.” Yun Shujing said excitedly.

“Mom, you should try too. What if there’s a chance of survival? I also need to call my second uncle to understand the situation.”

Hearing that Mu Qingya would make a call, Yun Shujing immediately got up from the sofa. “Then I won’t stop you from making a call.”

After Mu Qingya sent Yun Shujing off, she walked to the bedroom and dialed

her second uncle’s number. Over the phone, she told him what Yun Shujing wanted.

The other party was silent for a few seconds before answering Mu Qingya, “Little niece, you’re still too naive. If you help Huo Weichen now, what if he threatens your husband’s position in the future? Have you thought about the consequences? Shouldn’t you change your attitude? Someone sent Huo Weichen to the prison gate, and you want to help him? You’d better listen less to Yun Shujing’s words. Don’t delay your husband’s future.

Just say that I have a schedule now and am not in Jinzhou at all. Kill your mother-in-law’s thoughts completely.”

Mu Qingya broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. She had indeed thought too simply. She should not have considered for even a second whether to help or not. Helping Huo Weichen to remove the hidden danger was like burying a mine for Huo Shengyuan. She could not backstab her husband.

She wasn’t the only one. She had to persuade Huo Shengyuan as well. Although they were brothers, they couldn’t blindly attack and put themselves in danger.

So, after hanging up, Mu Qingya changed into her pajamas and went downstairs. When she saw Yun Shujing in the living room, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she walked over and said with a look of pity, “Mother, I’m sorry. The second Uncle said that he’s not in Jinzhou now, but he’ll be back soon. When the time comes, he’ll go and understand the situation personally and see how he can help.”

Anyone with a discerning eye knew what the Mu family meant after hearing

Mu Qingya’s words. She did not want to get involved because of Huo Weichen. Although she understood Mu Qingya’s standpoint, it was hard for her not to resent her deep down. So, she didn’t want to look at Mu Qingya. She got up from the sofa and said indifferently, “I know..”
