Chapter 219: War of Words

Second Granduncle Mu said with a sigh, “Jiang Jin, there’s no need to make such a big fuss over that matter. Moreover, he’s your biological son. He has apologized so many times and admitted to his mistakes, why can’t you forgive him?” He continued to say, “It’s just a small matter regarding a man and a woman’s relationship. Liang Zhou has been by his side for so many years, and their relationship is stable; this proves that Mu Qing did not misjudge her. Let bygones be bygones. Liang Zhen is being worshipped in the Mu family’s ancestral hall, giving her the respect she deserved. What more needs to be done? Don’t tell me Mu Qing is prohibited from getting married for the rest of his life after her death?”

Third Granduncle Mu chimed in, “We need more people to help deal with the Mu Group’s affairs. Mu Chen is too young; moreover, all his attention is on his wife now. We’re all family; it does no one good for family members to fight each other. We should give Mu Qing a chance and let him help with the Mu Group. You can also consider it as him atoning for his mistakes. Why must you be so ruthless to your own flesh and blood?”

“Because he swore in front of my mother’s tablet back then. If he breaks his oath, he’ll be struck by lightning. Uncles, you just said we’re all family. In that case, why are you pushing him to get struck by lightning?!”

Shocked, everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw Mu Chen walking in with big strides.

Mu Chen did not even spare a glance for his father who was kneeling by his grandmother’s side. He only stared at the elders sitting on the couch intently.

Second Granduncle Mu could no longer endure it; he roared, “Mu Chen! No matter what, he’s your father! Being unfilial is a huge sin. Moreover, how dare you get angry at your father when you’re disregarding the Mu family’s interest for your wife’s sake? At the very least, he admitted his mistakes and is willing to make sacrifices for the Mu family! What about you?! You didn’t even return to the company during this time of crisis and allow that outsider, Cheng Che, to order your family around!”

Third Granduncle Mu echoed Second Granduncle Mu’s sentiments. “That’s right! The Mu Group is facing such a huge crisis, but you still have the mood to be affectionate with your wife every day! How are you any different from your father back then who chose a woman over the family? What right do you have to stop your father from returning to the family and the company?!”

Mu Chen looked at the agitated crowd in front of him with an indifferent gaze before he shifted his attention to his father who was now sitting by his grandmother’s side. Then, he asked in a deep voice, “How do you know I’ve not done anything for the family or the company during this time?”

Fourth Uncle Mu scoffed. “Is there anyone who doesn’t know you’ve been guarding your wife every day, afraid that the child will be lost, and thus, losing the title of the eldest grandchild of the Mu family? Mu Chen, the elders are all here today. Let me make it clear to you: if the Mu Group suffers losses this time, you must give up your position as the head of the family to someone more capable. Our Mu family doesn’t adhere to outdated traditions; just because you’re the eldest grandson of the Mu family, don’t think you can occupy this position!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing these words, Mu Chen said with a sneer, “Fourth Uncle, you must be speaking everyone’s minds. Apart from worrying about the Mu family, it seems like everyone’s also dissatisfied with me being the head of the family, right? Are all of you waiting for the right time to replace me with another virtuous person?”

Although nobody answered Mu Chen’s questions, their expressions clearly said, “Of course!”

Mu Chen said, “I’m afraid that virtuous person you want to replace me with is also here, waiting for me to give up my position, right?”

At this time, Second Granduncle Mu cleared his throat and said, “Mu Chen, there’s no need for these sarcastic words. We’re talking about the Mu family’s future right now. The company’s situation had fallen to this state, as the head of the family, you have to shoulder the responsibility. You can’t deny this point. During this time of crisis, you’ve done nothing at all; it’s only right that we replace you with someone who’s capable of leading us out of this crisis. For the entire family’s interest, there’s nothing wrong with what we’re doing.”

Second Granduncle Mu’s words roused another chorus of agreement.
