Chapter 222: Resignation

Alas, Mu Chen was not a very forgiving person. After such a long time, he had not even forgiven his father. In his eyes, since those people had betrayed the family once, there would be a second or even third time.

There was nothing the traitors could do at this moment but beg for mercy even if they knew the kind of person Mu Chen was.

Even Second Granduncle Mu did not dare to hope Mu Chen would let the group of unfilial people off. He looked at the gloomy Mu Chen before he shifted his eyes to the group of people kneeling on the ground. Finally, his gaze settled on Jiang Jin; Jiang Jin was the Chairman of the Mu Group, after all.

When the group of traitors followed the direction of Second Granduncle Mu’s gaze, they finally remembered the key figure in the family.

From the beginning until now, Jiang Jin only sat on the couch wordlessly as she watched the farce in front of her.

The expression of Mu Qing, who was sitting next to Jiang Jin, grew more and more unsightly.

At this time, Second Granduncle Mu finally said to Jiang Jin, “Niece, they’ve admitted their mistakes and promised to repent; can we show mercy? Although they’re unfilial, they’re sons of the Mu family…”

Jiang Jin sighed softly. “Second Uncle, I didn’t think the matter would end up like this…”

Second Granduncle Mu nodded. “If it weren’t for Mu Chen, the Mu family would’ve been nailed to the pillar of shame! Our family is really unfortunate to have such descendants…”

Jiang Jin said at a speed that was neither slow nor fast, “As the Chairman, I have to shoulder some responsibility as well for failing to notice the problem in time and causing the company to suffer a loss…”

Everyone looked at Jiang Jin as she continued to speak.

“Back then, the Jiang family and the Mu family were united by marriage; everyone was happy. After Mu Nan’s passing, thanks to the elders and family’s support, I, a woman, was able to shoulder the heavy burden of the Mu family. After so many years, I was fortunate that I didn’t fail. Although I gave birth to a disappointing son, fortunately, I raised a sensible grandson. I think it’s time for a change in the Mu family. It’s a rare occasion for everyone to gather; I’d like everyone to bear witness that from today onward, I’ll resign from my position as Chairman and let my grandson, Mu Chen, take over. I wonder if there’s any objection?” Her voice was calm, and her words were impeccable. She swept her gaze across everyone before it finally rested on the highly respected Second Granduncle Mu.

“Grandmother!” Mu Chen cried out. He did not expect his grandmother to do this.

At the same time, there were already people nodding in agreement.

Second Granduncle mulled over Jiang Jin’s words for a moment before he said, “This matter isn’t your fault. There’s no need to blame yourself. All these years, you and Mu Chen have worked hard for the family; all of us can attest to it.”

But there were already people who nodded in agreement.

Someone echoed, “Yes, sister-in-law. Second Uncle is right.”

“First Aunt, you don’t have to blame yourself.”

“First Grandaunt, it’s not your fault.”

The crowd spoke up one after another.

Jiang Jin raised her hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

“The Mu family is not mine alone nor does it belong to the main branch of the Mu family alone. The Mu family belongs to all of us. I, Jiang Jin, have never forgotten this. I can’t shirk responsibility for what happened today. Second Uncle and I face the same dilemma…” Jiang Jin said, “You’re all children of the Mu family first before you’re the employees of the Mu Group. However, every family has its laws. With such a huge mistake, it’s impossible to escape punishment…”

The atmosphere and everyone’s expressions were solemn.

Jiang Jin sighed softly before she said, “However, even if you made such a huge mistake, you can’t be punished too heavily. After all, it’s the fault of us elders for not educating the younger generation well, causing you to betray the family. If we don’t punish the traitors, it’ll be difficult to convince the masses; if we punish the traitors, it’ll inevitably cause people’s hearts to turn cold. Therefore, I’ll bear the heaviest punishment and resign from my position as Chairman of the Mu Group.”
