Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Little Ungrateful_1 Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Little Ungrateful_1 The little girl was not only exquisitely cute but also eloquent, truly a likable little treasure.

Mu Yingchen sighed helplessly in his heart; how could she have grown up without telling them? The key point was that he only found out today as well, and he really wanted to find that woman and ask her why she never told him about the child…

“I can’t explain everything over the phone. I’ll tell you when I get back…”

“Huh? Yingchen, haven’t you told your mother if you and my precious granddaughter are together?” Mu’s mother asked urgently when she saw he was about to end the call.

“Mmm,” Mu Yingchen answered indifferently.

Mu’s mother got excited again, “Then you should bring her back quickly, so your grandfather and I can hold her proper…”

Mu Yingchen lowered his eyelids, “Mom… do you really want to see her that much?”

“Oh dear, what kind of question is that? Of course, I want to see her. I’ve been waiting for so many years; I’ve finally got my wish…” Mu’s mother’s tone was better than it had ever been before.

“If you want to see her, give me that contract ahead of time…” Mu Yingchen’s voice was indifferent with no discernible emotion.

Upon hearing his words, Mu’s mother fell silent on the other end of the line. After a long while, her somewhat angry voice came through: “Yingchen, do you really have to make things so clear cut with your mother now? Don’t I even have the right to see my own granddaughter?”

Mu Yingchen didn’t seem to take her seriously, his voice somewhat weak: “Mom… you should know whose child this is…”

Her words suddenly left Mu’s mother speechless.

Silence fell over the call again, and neither of them spoke any further.

Since Mu’s mother had the speaker on, the old Master Mu heard every word of their conversation very clearly. After contemplating Mu Yingchen’s condition for a while, he whispered to Mu’s mother: “Give it to him…”

Mu’s mother hesitated at first; giving it to him now meant the marriage arrangement with the Bai Family’s Miss had no security. But… now that there was a granddaughter, it was impossible not to let her see her.

Just as she was hesitating, the old Master Mu spoke up again. She gritted her teeth and blurted out a word: “Fine!”

Then, in her heart, she wiped away a tear of sorrow. Sure enough, he’d forgotten his mother once he had a bride…

Mu Yingchen, hearing the word “fine” come through the phone, his lips curved into a smile.

“Alright, then that’s settled. I’m a bit tied up here!”

“Wait a minute, when will you bring the little girl back?”

Mu Yingchen furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment, “Tomorrow, I suppose…”

“Aren’t you coming back today?” Mu’s mother was anxious, her heart hanging on every thought of the little one, wishing she could see her right now.

“Mom… you should give the child some time to adjust, right?”

Mu’s mother immediately started laughing softly on the other end of the phone: “Sure, sure, your grandfather and I will be waiting…”

“Mmm.”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Yingchen felt much lighter. Over the years, because of Wanwan’s situation, the relationship between him and his mother had deteriorated to an extreme point, but this wasn’t what he wanted.

After all, he’d always respected her since he was a child, but he just couldn’t accept what she had done.

Neither wanted to concede, so they remained at an impasse.

If Shanshan’s appearance could change his mother’s prejudice against Wanwan and help her accept her more quickly, that would be the best.

As soon as Mu Yingchen entered the room, Shanshan immediately ran to him, “Daddy, did you get news about Mommy?”

Mu Yingchen looked into her clear, bright eyes and shook his head silently.

The little one’s spirit instantly deflated like a balloon, her little mouth pouted as she said softly, “Okay…”

Mu Yingchen reached out and ruffled her little head, then turned his gaze to Su’s father, Su’s mother, and Su Ran.

“I want to take Shanshan to the Mu Family to have a look…” As soon as his words fell, Father Su and Mother Su suddenly fell silent.

This… they were not in charge of this decision.

Su Ran raised his eyebrows at him, “It seems like you’re about to get married, just taking a child back like this, aren’t you afraid your beautiful fiancée will come to you weeping?”

Mu Yingchen looked at him intently, “She’s not my fiancée, and I have no plans to get married…”

“Is that so? Seems like the whole world knows about the Young Master Mu’s impending wedding, right?” Su Ran mocked.

“Then they must also be aware of the fact that I already have a child…”

“Uncle Ran… Daddy won’t marry that woman…” Shanshan also stepped forward to speak.

Su Ran suddenly held his forehead without words, look at that, just look, the bond with a real father really is something else. He hadn’t said two words against her dad, and this little girl already knew to stand up for him.

“Shanshan, Uncle is heartbroken…”

Seeing Su Ran’s expression, Shanshan immediately felt that she had said the wrong thing.

“Uncle Ran, I just meant, Daddy won’t marry that woman, that’s all…”

Su Ran’s expression shifted as he looked up at her, “Really?”

Shanshan nodded earnestly, “Really…”

Su Ran also looked at her seriously, “Do you want to go see your daddy’s home then?”

Shanshan rolled her eyes and nodded at Su Ran.

She wanted to see where her daddy lived, what his house was like, then she could go back and tell Yaoyao…

Su Ran nodded and spoke, “It’s your own wish to go… It has nothing to do with me,” implying that if Wanxia blamed him later, it wouldn’t be his fault.

Shanshan thought for a moment and then nodded again.

Her mommy had left her with her daddy, so she probably wouldn’t mind her going to have a look, right?

Su Ran’s gaze met Mu Yingchen’s as he spoke coolly: “I don’t hope Wanxia returns only to find Shanshan gone…” If those two from the Mu Family decided they didn’t want Shanshan to leave, he would not just sit idly by.

Mu Yingchen clearly understood his meaning, staring at Su Ran for a while before speaking indifferently, “I will respect her wishes.”

If she didn’t agree, he would not force Shanshan to stay at the Mu Family.

What he wanted was for her to marry him openly and for Shanshan to come back to the Mu Family rightfully; he didn’t want her to be labeled as someone’s illegitimate child by everyone.

“Good, remember what you said.”

Mu Yingchen’s lips curved, “My word is my bond.”

Su Ran snorted coldly, “My word is my bond? I wonder who was the one who brazenly promised to repay a favor and then, when it was time to repay, denied all obligations…”

A vein on Mu Yingchen’s temple involuntarily twitched, to think he said he was repaying a favor by taking the person away, how audacious!

But now he couldn’t be bothered to argue with him any further. After all, his wife and child were in his care, and just thinking about that made Mu Yingchen’s liver ache…

Not willing to deal with Su Ran any longer, Mu Yingchen gently picked up Shanshan and asked, “Shall we go see the place where Daddy lives first?”

Upon hearing this, Shanshan instantly perked up, clapping her small hands excitedly, “Yes, yes… Daddy, let’s go quickly…”

Mu Yingchen’s stern facial lines suddenly softened a few degrees.

Su Ran couldn’t help but mutter quietly, “Little ingrate…”
