Chapter 222 She Was Fierce To Me
Although I didn't meet my maternal grandfather until I was twenty, it was enough.
Elder Mu, “…”
I still feel grateful to Zong Qiming, the sixth brother.
But since things had already come to this, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward with what I felt was an excessively heavy step after quickly weighing everything in my mind.
Seeing this, Song Beiyou took two steps back, slightly increasing the distance between the two.
Anyone with eyes could see that her feelings for Elder Mu were rather distant, completely different from how she had shown them to Elder Zong earlier.
Mr. Mu stood in front of the microphone and coughed twice.
He wasn't as well-prepared as Elder Zong; he didn't have a leather bag or a gift agreement.
We can only create momentum verbally for now.
"Everyone!" he finally spoke after carefully considering his words. "I am very grateful to my father-in-law, Elder Zong. His generosity today has been so great that it has caught me off guard."
Although my possessions cannot compare to the entire fortune that Old Zong prepared, I will not mistreat our Bei You.
At this point, Old Mu cleared his throat again.
This subtle movement caught Song Beiyou's eye, making her chuckle awkwardly.
From a psychological perspective, this is an attempt to conceal her inner embarrassment and helplessness. It seems that her grandfather's actions just now deeply offended Mr. Mu.
She wanted to see what the Mu family, represented by Elder Mu, could offer her.
No matter what she's offered, she won't hesitate to accept it today; she'll take it all without hesitation.
After clearing his throat repeatedly, Old Master Mu said, "In order to make up for the debt that the Mu family has owed to Bei You over the past twenty years, I have decided to give Bei You 45% of the shares of our Mu Group."
In addition, she will be given several properties in Beijing and overseas, ensuring her future financial security.
Unlike Lao Zong, I haven't prepared the documents today, but I guarantee that every word I say is legally binding, and everyone present is my witness.
"Wow~"
The crowd erupted in uproar.
In comparison, although Elder Mu's "sincerity" was not as great as Elder Zong's, it was still quite generous.
The Mu Group has quietly done a lot of big business over the years, and owning 45% of the shares is enough to ensure they won't have to worry about food and clothing for several lifetimes.
Moreover, Elder Mu was known for his stinginess in the past, so it was truly remarkable that he would resort to such a heavy-handed approach today.
Applause erupted from the audience.
Song Beiyou nodded to Elder Mu in gratitude.
Old Master Mu smiled kindly in response, but his heart was bleeding inside.
To be honest, he originally only wanted to give Song Beiyou 15% of the shares.
This 15% decision was made after much deliberation these past few days.
Zong Qiming's complete gift disrupted his original plan. He had no choice but to comply out of face-saving considerations; otherwise, the Mu family would be the only ones laughing at him in front of so many important figures.
It appears that this decision was correct.
He saw the approving looks from many people below. Thinking positively, these people might choose to cooperate with the Mu family because of the 45% held by Song Beiyou, so he wouldn't have lost out at all.
Duan Yao, in particular, had just glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, watching the figures on the stage with a smile on his face the whole time.
Song Beiyou didn't refuse and bowed in front of everyone, saying, "Thank you."
He didn't call me "Grandpa," but his bow was incredibly sincere.
The more meticulously Elder Mu thought things through, the more hatred some members of the Mu family felt.
Zong Lanfang even expressed her dissatisfaction in front of her father, Zong Qiming, her brother, Zong Zhengqi, and Gu Ling.
"No, are you all crazy?"
Do you know what it means to own 45% of the shares in the Mu Group?
The old man originally owned 50%, Li'an 35%, and Huaishan 15%, making him the largest shareholder.
But now that he's given away 45% of his share, Song Beiyou has become the largest shareholder of the Mu Group!
In her haste, Zong Lanfang brought back the surname "Song".
Mu Niannian felt that what she said made a lot of sense, but she didn't dare to refute it at this time.
She could only place her hands on the floor below the stage, clenching them into tight fists. She thought this was probably the most frustrating and helpless day of her life.
The banquet celebrating the recognition of one's ancestral roots continued with great joy, thanks to the "sincerity" of the elders.
After Song Beiyou and Elder Mu took their seats and began the dinner, the guests arrived one after another to present gifts to the leading lady of the day.
These gifts could not compare to the "sincerity" of Elder Zong and Elder Mu, but they were enough to make some of the people at the same table envious.
The priceless ruby given by Mu Li'an and Mu Qianyun.
Gu Ling gave him an agate bracelet, and after Zong Zhengqi gave Song Beiyou a savings card last time, this time he gave him two bright red property certificates.
Old Madam Duan's jade bracelet, and the Jia family's collection of books.
And, Duan Yao, her official boyfriend, gave her a platinum black card with no spending limit in any country in the world.
Song Beiyou was positioned right next to Mu Niannian.
Mu Niannian witnessed the entire large-scale gift-giving event, which plunged her already numb heart to rock bottom.
Not only that, that damned Song Beiyou would also show off to her from time to time.
Moreover, Song Beiyou cleverly used only the voices that the two of them could hear.
"Niannian, do you think this bracelet looks good on me?"
"Oh my, my boyfriend gave me a black card! Niannian, you should have one too, right?"
"Niannian, I've received so many gifts, aren't you unhappy about it?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll clean out some of the ones I don't need and give them to you later."
......
It has to be said that Song Beiyou can be quite ruthless when it comes to hurting people.
So much so that Mu Niannian, as if bewitched by something, suddenly raised her voice and roared at Song Beiyou, "Aren't you annoying? You're a lunatic, haven't you ever seen anything good before!"
The others at the table were speechless.
They all stared at her with strange looks.
Song Beiyou suddenly changed his demeanor, abandoning his usual aloofness, pouting, and looking at Mu Niannian with a wronged expression, "Are you being mean to me?"
After saying that, she looked at Zong Lanfang again, and said in the same tone, "She was mean to me."
Zong Lanfang, “…”
This!
Zong Lanfang's heart skipped a beat at the sight of the pitiful little girl, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
No! Who gave her permission to look at her like that?
She instinctively looked away, not daring to meet Song Beiyou's gaze.
Mu Niannian was so annoyed by this that she immediately tried to explain, but Song Beiyou persisted and turned to Mu Huaishan, saying, "She was mean to me, she thinks I'm annoying, she thinks I've never seen anything good before, she's unhappy with me."
Song Beiyou emphasized it several times.
Zong Lanfang had mixed feelings; she wanted to comfort Song Beiyou, but she didn't want to hurt Mu Niannian's feelings.
Mu Huaishan was different; he didn't think about such details. He only knew that Song Beiyou was like a bullied little rabbit who needed to be rescued.
Without considering Mu Niannian's feelings, he blurted out, "Niannian, apologize to Bei You!"
