"It should be fine since he's going to hold the post temporarily. Then, we'll hold a board meeting again to vote for the new CEO!" The stockholders agreed with the decision.
"I feel that Mr. Mu Xiao is a capable youth. He should be able to hold the position."
Then, it was almost decided that Mr. Mu Xiao was going to be the CEO temporarily. On the other hand, Papa Mu seemed defeated and sad. His eyes were filled with hatred. He was obviously angry as he was fired.
His eyes seemed like daggers when he looked at Su Zipei and Mu Qiqi. He wanted so badly to tear them apart.
However, the more Papa Mu hated them, the happier they were.
It was because that bastard only valued his own interests. Now that he had been defeated and lost his power, it was just like giving him a death warrant.
"If that's the case, you better go and hand over your duties to your younger brother. From now on, you're prohibited from stepping into Mu Group except to attend the board meeting!" Grandpa Mu said to Papa Mu. "If you realize that you're wrong, you'll behave properly and stay at home. If you're still stubborn, don't blame me when I disown you!"
Papa Mu suffered greatly. It was hard for him to accept that he had been defeated.
But, what else could he do given that there were so many people watching him right at that moment?
"I won't just let it go like that, especially the two of you!" Papa Mu threatened the stockholders, especially Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei. Then, he left the meeting room. The others could not help but sneer at him.
"What more does he want?"
Mu Qiqi looked at Su Zipei. She knew that Papa Mu would not just give up like that. They were not afraid because of the person they cared about deeply.
It seemed that Grandpa Mu had aged a lot after the meeting. He said to Su Zipei when almost all of the stockholders had left the meeting room, "Now, you got what you wished for. Could you please forgive us?"
"But, I'm afraid that your son is not going to let us go!" Su Zipei said to Grandpa Mu. "It's true that we women can't do much. But, we'll risk everything else if we're forced to. I want him to know that he cannot just do anything he liked in this world!"
"You should forgive Xue'er too..."
They never planned to plot anything against Mu Tangxue as long as she left them alone. She couldn't go to school and didn't have anybody by her side to support her. She held no threat toward Mu Qiqi. But, there were just some people in this world who liked to do things beyond their capabilities.
Mu Qiqi looked at Su Zipei and said nothing.
Grandpa Mu said nothing too. He got up and left Mu Group.
Soon, there were only a few people left in the meeting room. Su Zipei stopped Mr. Mu Xiao. "I want to ask you something!"
"Madam Su, just ask me anything you want." Mr. Mu Xiao did not dare to look down on Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei now. He could not fulfill his wish for so many years but these two women helped him to achieve his dream. "I'm indebted to you now, aren't I?"
"When you retorted that bastard just now, I heard you mentioning Young Master Shen. Do you know anything else about him? Could you please tell me? What kind of secrets lie between the two of them?"
Mr. Mu Xiao laughed softly after he heard what she said. He retorted, "How come you're unaware of it? Didn't my sister-in-law tell you about it?"
"No, she never told me anything about that."
"Young Master Shen, Shen Jianchuan was my brother's best friend. But, I heard that my sister-in-law was quite close to him before. However, not many people knew about it. I think you're aware of the fact that the Shen family is a powerful and influential family. At that time, my sister-in-law was nothing but a mere office worker. It was impossible for her to be accepted by the Shen family."
