99: Chapter 99: Are They Trying to Drive Him to Death?

Mu Kang’s tone was very gentle and sincere, yet it sounded like a thunderclap.

Han Yarong wore a face of disbelief, “Mr.

Mu, have you made some mistake?

Why would you give them a wedding gift money?

I’ve checked, and Mu Yunlie has no relation to the Mu Family at all.”

Yan Hong, after his initial shock, did indeed breathe a sigh of relief.

A heart that had been hanging in his throat finally settled.

No matter whether Mu Yunlie had any relation to the Mu Family, at least for now, that eight hundred million Star Coins need not be returned!

Yan Qianyi also felt there must be some misunderstanding.

How could Mu Yunlie, being so poor, possibly be related to the Mu Family?

“If he’s neither kin nor kith, I can’t accept this gift,” Yan Qianyi said.

“That eight hundred million Star Coins was accepted by Yan Hong without my knowledge, it has nothing to do with me, and I cannot possibly marry Mu Zicheng.

You should have Yan Hong return the money to you.”

“Yan Qianyi!” Yan Hong glared at her fiercely.

This ungrateful wretch!

Was she trying to be the death of him?!

Yet Yan Qianyi ignored him as if he were invisible.

“Lady Yan, the wedding gift money is a token of my regard; please do accept it,” Mu Kang said amiably.

“Ah Lie probably hasn’t told you, but I have a deep connection with his parents.”

Yan Qianyi arched an eyebrow in confusion.

Mu Kang continued, “Ah Lie’s parents saved my life.

The boy lost his parents at a young age, and he hasn’t had any contact with me over the years.

I’ve only just learned that he married you, so I truly want to offer you both this blessing.”

Mu Kang’s attitude seemed earnest, not false.

But Yan Qianyi’s guard was up.

Unexpectedly receiving eight hundred million Star Coins, what if this was a trap set deliberately by Mu Kang?

He might later accuse her of extortion, and she would have nowhere to turn for justice.

Just last night, she was schemed against by her own biological father due to her carelessness.

And with a businessman like Mu Kang, who was very calculating, she had to be even more cautious.

“Well… wait a minute, let me ask him.”

Mu Kang nodded, “Alright, give him a call and also send my regards.”

Yan Qianyi stepped aside and sent a voice message to Mu Yunlie to inform him of the situation.

After Mu Yunlie listened, he spoke indifferently, “If he sincerely wishes to offer this blessing, why not accept?

Are you planning to have a grudge against money?”

Of all things to hold a grudge against, it certainly wouldn’t be money!

Moreover, this money was very useful to her!

As long as she could confirm Mu Kang’s words were true, she could accept it without worry.

“Did you know about this beforehand?” Yan Qianyi asked.

She had just been worried that he might have been arrested by the police or even sentenced to death.

Looking back on what she had said to him in the hotel, she seemed like a complete fool.

“You didn’t give me a chance to explain.”

“I have to hang up now; there’s still trouble at home with the Yan Family.”

After Yan Qianyi finished speaking, she hung up by herself.

She certainly didn’t know that she was the only person, other than the Nangong couple, who dared to hang up on Mu Yunlie first.

Yan Qianyi walked back to see Han Yarong pleasingly serving tea to Mu Kang.

Mu Kang did not accept it and immediately stood up to ask her, “What did Ah Lie say?”

“He said thank you for Uncle Mu’s kindness,” Yan Qianyi suddenly felt that Mu Kang seemed much more agreeable to her.

A sweet smile appeared on her face, “We’ll accept the cash gift.”

“Did you pass on my regards?” Mu Kang asked.

Yan Qianyi’s face showed embarrassment.

She had forgotten…

Mu Kang hurriedly said, “It’s alright, when Ah Lie has time, let her bring you to visit the Mu Family.”

As he finished speaking, Li De suddenly coughed.

Mu Kang added one more thing, “Ah Lie used to come to play at the Mu Family often when he was younger, back then he always regarded our home as his own.”

Yan Qianyi nodded her head and didn’t think much of it.

“Mr.

Mu, I didn’t expect it all to be a misunderstanding,” Yan Hong said with a flattering smile, “Since Ah Lie is the child of an old friend of yours, then we’re almost in-laws, what a coincidence.”

“Who’s your in-law?” Yan Qianyi glared coldly at Yan Hong.

The smile on Yan Hong’s face stiffened, “You child, are you still mad at your dad?”

Yan Qianyi sneered, “That eight hundred million Star Coins, since Uncle Mu gave it to me and Ah Lie as a red envelope, then please return it to us.”

Yan Hong struggled to maintain the awkward smile on his face.

“You’re my daughter, we’re a family, do we need to be so clear-cut between father and daughter?”

“Did you get amnesia?” Yan Qianyi chuckled twice, “You just said you would sever the father-daughter relationship with me, I and the Yan Family, no longer have any connection.

So what business is the red envelope I and Ah Lie received of yours?”

Having said this, Yan Qianyi looked towards Mu Kang and smiled gracefully, “Uncle Mu, you just heard it, didn’t you?

Can you testify for me?”

Yan Hong couldn’t keep up his strained smile any longer.

His voice deep and heavy, he said, “Then let Mr.

Mu speak some reason, I have raised such a big daughter, there’s no reason to give her away for nothing!

As I know, Mr.

Mu also has a daughter, as a father himself, surely Mr.

Mu can understand my difficulties, right?”

Mu Kang nodded his head, yet said, “Indeed, I can testify that Lady Yan has severed ties with the Yan Family.

Mr.

Yan, this was what Mr.

Yan himself told me just now.”

He had seen many people, but this was the first time he encountered someone like Yan Hong with such thick skin.

Mu Kang continued to say, “The cash gift given to newlyweds is meant to help the young couple build a new home, no matter what, the money belongs to them.

And, I did not say it was a gift to you.”

As a father himself, he truly could not agree with Yan Hong’s actions.

Yan Hong opened and closed his mouth in silence, completely at a loss for words.

With Mu Kang there to back up Yan Qianyi, that eight hundred million Star Coins, he wouldn’t be able to pocket for himself by any means.

At this moment, Han Yarong spoke up, “Qianyi, even if you’ve severed ties with the Yan Family, but the twenty years of parenting cannot be denied.

He doesn’t want to covet your cash gift, but you know the current economic situation of the company, why not give your dad some time?

Once the company’s financial crisis is over, we’ll return the cash gift to you.”

Yan Hong eagerly nodded, Yarong always knew the right thing to say.

“It’s none of your business to speak,” Yan Qianyi looked at Han Yarong with wild eyes.

Then she indifferently turned to Yan Hong, “The twenty years of raising me indeed cannot be faked, so, in the future, I will personally send you off, not a penny less for your coffin.

But the cash gift Uncle Mu gave me and Ah Lie cannot be used by you.”

Yan Hong was furious, his face growing paler and paler as if he was about to cough up blood and die, demanding his coffin fee.

“You want to use this money to solve the company’s crisis, that’s not impossible, but I have one condition.”

“What condition?” Yan Hong hurriedly asked, “Tell me!”

As long as Yan Qianyi didn’t take the money away, he could agree to any condition!

Hearing this, Yan Ruyi and Han Yarong both looked nervously toward Yan Qianyi.
