Chapter 437: The Master of Balancing
Gu Xiaozhan changed into formal attire and went to the study to handle urgent matters.
Mu Anhan took out her phone to play, having completely forgotten about needing to take her medicine.
She was scrolling through the news from yesterday to today, which she hadn’t paid attention to due to the fever last night.
Feng Ruixiang was being scolded by everyone online because the oil prices in Country A were never low, yet he earned money and still evaded taxes?
It’s known that regular citizens earning mere thousands still have their personal income taxes deducted on time every month!
Especially for a rich boss like Feng Ruixiang, if he’s not severely punished, it’s hard to appease the public’s anger!
Mu Anhan felt that Feng Ruixiang deserved his downfall.
If he had been a conscientious businessman and paid taxes accordingly, would there be evidence against him?
Although Feng Ruixiang deserved to be trampled upon, why is Pei Wei being praised so highly?
Mu Anhan found it hard to tolerate; Pei Wei is the force behind Zhou Jingyi, so why is this villain receiving so much applause and admiration?
Just as she was about to dig up some dirt on Pei Wei, there was a knock on the door.
"Madam, the old madam came to see you." Zhu Chen’s voice sounded.
Mu Anhan didn’t expect Huo Yiwen to visit, so she put down her phone, "Come in!"
Huo Yiwen, dressed in an elegant and fitting noblewoman’s attire, walked in and waved at Zhu Chen, indicating for him to wait outside.
After closing the door, Huo Yiwen, seeing Mu Anhan’s lackluster spirit, said, "What’s wrong? Mourning for your adulterer? You really look like you’re half-dead!"
As long as Gu Xiaozhan wasn’t around, Huo Yiwen didn’t even bother to pretend anymore.
She came in and directly mocked Mu Anhan.
Mu Anhan merely gave a faint smile: "As long as Xiaozhan doesn’t think I have an adulterer, it’s fine."
She couldn’t care less what others said, nor did she want to.
She only cared about what that one man thought; let others say what they will!
Huo Yiwen hit a soft spot and sneered, "I’d like to see how long you can fool Xiaozhan. You little fox, you’ll show your tail sooner or later!"
"Then let’s just wait and see!" Mu Anhan also sneered, dealing with her calmly and unhurriedly.
She knew that this old woman wouldn’t come for no reason; it wasn’t purely because Mu Anhan was sick.
She surely had another purpose.
Mu Anhan lazily picked up her phone, not bothering to deal with her.
She remembered, when she had just been reborn, she was willing to repair relationships with the Gu Family, since her relationships with them hadn’t been good in the previous life.
In this life, she was trying to handle these relationships well.
But Huo Yiwen had always looked down on her, so she no longer tried to fix it.
Instead of pleasing others, she might as well live her life well.
Seeing her just playing on her phone, Huo Yiwen held back the words on the tip of her tongue.
Mu Anhan played a game and, seeing she wasn’t leaving, frowned: "Aren’t you going to the study to see the father and son?"
She didn’t need to ask to guess that Mr. Gu was probably here.
Now, Mr. Gu and Gu Xiaozhan were in the study, likely discussing the situation on the main family’s side.
Feng Ruixiang was caught, and the main family, having its most prized son-in-law end up like this, how could they not be anxious?
Mr. Gu obviously wanted all four branches of the family to develop well, he wanted to keep things fair, he wanted to be a master at balancing, but who appreciates his kindness?
