Superficially, Mu Linfeng seemed to think highly of him, but what was the reality?

  Just like a Prince Regent in ancient times!

  He, on the other hand, was like a puppet emperor, looking as though he had all the power, but in reality he didn’t have the slightest authority!

  However, he could not leave the Mu Group.

  Mu Yanchen felt extremely wretched!

  Especially after Mu Shumin’s reprimand earlier, it made him even more upset. He increasingly felt that he was being used!

  Ever since he took over the position, the Mu Group’s financials had been in a constant decline. If not for the revenues from the Mu Group’s medical business, which was their greatest estate, he would have been burdened with billions in debt.

  Mu Linfeng was mentally and physically exhausted from managing the matters of the financial group, but when he wanted to get involved in the Mu Group’s affairs, Mu Linfeng refused to let him!

  He could only sit in the luxurious office that symbolized the highest authority, but in reality he was only a vassal.

  Although he was indignant, there was nothing he could do.

  Even he himself felt that he was too useless!

  He felt that he had no dignity to speak of!

  Especially when Mu Shumin ridiculed and mocked him in front of Meng Qingxue, it made him feel even worse!

  Meng Qingxue walked to his side. The moment she touched his hand, Mu Yanchen instinctively recoiled and turned his face away.

  She was stunned for a moment. “Yan Chen, what’s wrong?”


  “Nothing!”


  “Just then……” She mustered her courage and said,” Don’t take what your aunt said to heart! ”


  He turned around and retorted, “How can I not take her words to heart? She said that I’m a useless piece of trash and a puppet and if I didn’t go along with the family’s arrangements obediently, I’d be expelled from the Mu family, that was what she meant!”


  After a pause, he smiled coldly. “What does this mean?! It simply means that I will lose everything!”


  “Didn’t I say that you won’t lose everything?” Meng Qingxue continued anxiously, “Don’t you still have me?”


  “You?! Do you actually understand what it’s like to be expelled from the Mu family?!”


  Mu Yanchen moved closer to her and said in no uncertain terms, “Qingxue, have you ever thought about the feeling of a person falling from grace?”


  Meng Qingxue looked at him blankly and shook her head.

  “That’s because you’ve never stood on high grounds. That’s why you can say certain things with such great ease!”


  Mu Yanchen paused for a moment before continuing, “Falling from a high place is more than just breaking your bones. Everyone will laugh at you, ridicule you, and belittle you!”


  Meng Qingxue was stunned for a moment. He continued helplessly, “I’m the CEO of Mu Group now. Yes, I can think nothing of such a status, but once I’m expelled from the Mu family, I’ll have nothing. What are the implications of this?! It could mean that I won’t even be able to support myself! It’s my own fault that I had never been able to catch up to Mu Yazhe no matter how hard I work! People are different in and of themselves! Some people are born noble and others are born lowly! In the past, I was suppressed by him. Now, even though he had left the Mu family, I’m still suppressed by him!”


  There was extreme agony in the man’s eyes.

  Meng Qingxue felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife.

  She could deeply understand his pain.

  “I will stand by you. No matter what, I will stand by you.”


  “Let me think things over!”


  Mu Yanchen said.

  Meng Qingxue was stunned. “What are you thinking over?! Are you intending to obey your aunt and make me your concubine?! Is that what you mean?!”
