Chapter 100

Mu Xiao was embarrassed. Previously, he had only asked the Mu family for the money to buy Sima Qi’s shares at market price.Now, it was the equivalent of asking for twice the market price.Mu Xiao also felt extremely humiliated.Now, not only did he not have any dignity in the Mu family, but because he had pleaded with the Mu family so many times, he had become the most useless Young Master of the Mu family.His elder brother and elder sister were both more promising and influential than him.Only he…”Brother, I promised to get the shares back. When the time comes, I’ll give it to Rong ‘er as a betrothal gift,” Mu Xiao said helplessly.There was no reply from the other side.There was only the news of the arrival of the money.Mu Xiao felt as if his face had been slapped hard.Sima Qi looked at Mu Xiao’s expression as he went through his internal struggle.However, she felt extremely relieved.All of this had belonged to her original character. Why was Mu Xiao acting as if he was now being cheated of a large sum of money?Back then, when her original character’s money had been cheated by him, he had not said a single word.Mu Xiao put his phone away and said coldly, “Sima Qi, I hope I won’t see you again in the future. We’ll be completely even in the future!”He said arrogantly, “This is double the market price. Sign it.”Sima Qi clicked her tongue and whistled as she signed.Soon, a sum of money was transferred to Sima Qi’s account -‘100 million’.Sima Qi now had a large sum of money in her hands, so she was naturally in a good mood.She did not say anything unpleasant. Instead, she waved her hand at Mu Xiao. “Mr. Mu Xiao, I also hope we won’t have any interactions in the future! It’s best if you and Zhang Rong stay far away from me. I’ll follow my path and you can follow your own. Just don’t interfere with my business.”After saying that, Sima Qi turned around and returned to the party.Shi Mo saw that she was in a good mood and could not help but lean over. As he selected some food for her, he asked her, “What made you so happy?”Sima Qi replied, “I sold the company’s shares for a good price. Shouldn’t I be happy?”Zhang Rong, on the other side of the table, was also smug.However, when she heard this, she could not help but ask Mu Xiao, “How much did you give her?”Sima Qi was looking very smug.Meanwhile, Mu Xiao felt as if his heart was bleeding. “Please stop asking.”Zhang Rong’s face turned pale and she could not bring herself to be happy.On the other side, Sima Qi said to Shi Mo, “It wasn’t much. It was only twice the market price. After all, the Mu family is really rich. I think I should ask the Mu family if they want to adopt a daughter.”Mu Ye’s eyelashes twitched when he heard that.Sima Qi was extremely sarcastic.He did not know how Sima Qi had been taken advantage of by Mu Xiao in the past. However, she had just turned the tables now.Shi Mo smiled and said, “Silly, I’m enough as long as you have me! You don’t have to be someone else’s adopted daughter.”Sima Qi stuck out her tongue and said, “That’s true.”Shi Mo and Sima Qi spoke as if there was no one around them.On the other side of the table, Mu Xiao and Zhang Rong’s faces were already ashen.Even Mu Ye had given Sima Qi an unfriendly glance. She had actually dared to blackmail the Mu family. How bold of her.Zhang Rong quickly raised her glass. “Young Master Mu, let me propose a toast to you.”Zhang Rong had never dared to act rashly towards Mu Ye. Firstly, Mu Ye was currently the most powerful person in the Mu family. Secondly, Mu Ye was not a kind person. There had once been a banquet where someone had recklessly offended Mu Ye. Mu Ye had then used a gun to cripple one of his legs.That person had been quietly thrown out, without daring to take revenge on Mu Ye.It was clear that Mu Ye was not as easy to get along with as he appeared on the surface.The Mu family tolerated Mu Xiao’s existence and acknowledged this illegitimate child. If Mu Ye had not accepted Mu Xiao, things would not have gone so smoothly.Mu Ye did not even bother to look at Zhang Rong. He raised his glass and downed it in one gulp. Then, he stood up. “I have something to do so I’ll take my leave first.”Mu Xiao hurriedly stood up. “Brother, let me send you off.”Mu Ye waved him off and walked out.Mu Xiao’s expression turned ugly for a moment. Then, he sat down and tried to hide his embarrassment as he smiled and said, “My brother is much too busy.”Everyone laughed as well.That night, Sima Qi had drunk quite a lot because she was extremely happy.In the end, Shi Mo led the stumbling Sima Qi away.”I still want to drink, don’t drag me away!””Alright, there’ll be more wine to drink when we get back.””I want to drink here.””Qi, this is liquor, not water.”Shi Mo was helpless and had to pick her up by her waist.However, Sima Qi was restless and kept twisting her waist to try and get down.After much difficulty, she was finally placed into the car. Shi Mo bent down to pick up the seatbelt and fastened it tightly around her.”Don’t tie me up!” Sima Qi tried to struggle, but she could not break free no matter how hard she tried.Shi Mo stared at her for a while and sighed, “Are you really happy that you drank so much?””Of course I’m happy, 100 million!”However, everyone present thought that Sima Qi had suddenly drunk so much just because she was feeling hurt.Even Shi Mo could not help but think so as well.No one would be this happy to see someone they had loved before suddenly get engaged today.
