Chapter 370

“What?” Xu Xinduo’s eyes widened, now knowing that Tong Yan had truly participated.

Mu Qingyi also told Xu Xinduo about Tong Yan’s plans to acquire the company as she fell silent.

It meant that Father Mu would have nothing from then on and the Tong family would come forward to buy the Mu family’s company, sothe company would no longer belong to the Mu family.

After the company was acquired, Father Mu’s assets were probably only enough to buy a house with a modest price and live outside the centre square. At that time, it was not necessarily possible for him to even have a scooter, let alone a private driver.

To be experiencing a surge of ups and downs at his current age, no one could tell if he would be able to bounce back up after this fall. He probably could still get a job afterwards, despite the fact that he would no longer be a wealthy businessman. Instead, he’d most likely live a fairly normal life like an ordinary citizen.

The most tormenting part was probably his mental state.

He would end up being a lonely man— his children couldn’t care less about him and his wife no longer associated herself with him. It was also unpredictable if he would ever smile again.

The Tong family would help to run the company for the time being. After Mu Qingyi graduated from university, he would arrange for him to work in this company. At that time, the shares would be converted according to the profit. If the profit was sufficient, the company would be returned to Mu Qingyi.

It could only be returned to Mu Qingyi alone, so if his performance was not up to par, he would not be able to reclaim the company.

In the meantime, the company’s profits for these years would account back to the Tong family. When Mu Qingyi reclaimed it with the profits, the amount of money would be at least doubled, which was enough for him to give the company a brand new name from its once tarnished reputation.

The Tong family wouldn’t be in too bad of a state either.

Xu Xinduo glanced at Tong Yan again before she asked Mu Qingyi, “Do you agree to this?”

“If you’re going to feel troubled, I will think of another way to settle this,” Mu Qingyi also respected Xu Xinduo’s opinion even more.

“Do it then,” After Xu Xinduo finished speaking, she reached out and took a sip from the teacup, “You might want to tell mom too and ask her not to return. Remind her to not get involved with Mu Wenyan for the time being so she doesn’t have to worry.”

“Okay.”

Mu Qingyi went out after chatting with Xu Xinduo.

Tong Yan watched him leave and glanced at Xu Xinduo’s cold expression. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously and his Adam’s apple rolled conspicuously

After a while, Xu Xinduo came over and stood beside Tong Yan. She didn’t speak as she merely kept staring at him.

Tong Yan said quickly, “It’s precisely because I didn’t want to put you in a dilemma and I don’t want you to be entangled in this matter that I did what I offered. I know you definitely don’t want me to help, so I made the move first before getting your feedback on it. You see, the scumbag has been punished and he’s just a miserable soul now; I even left a living route for him.”

Xu Xinduo looked at Tong Yan before she clenched her fists and released them. She said, “Tong Yan, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I don’t approve of your method.”

Tong Yan felt a little guilty and asked, “Was the punishment not harsh enough or was it too harsh?”

“Do you know why I don’t want you to help me?”

“Because… you are stubborn?”

“Because I like you.”
