Chapter 1182

Mu Xiaoyao was the first to object to Mu Dongyu’s words: “Xiaoyao, she is no longer the Mu family’s Miss Sun, how can you still be engaged to her?”

Without the identity of Baili Yang’s granddaughter, she meant nothing in the eyes of the old man.

If she meant nothing, that meant she was just a powerless, impoverished girl with nothing.

How could his son marry a girl with no value for utilization?

If marrying, it should at least be to a daughter of a prestigious family.

“I promised to get engaged to Xiaxia, and I will be with her no matter what her identity is, no matter who she is.”

Mu Xiaoyao held Baili Xia, whose soul seemed almost gone, and turned to glance at the old man.

“Grandpa, Xiaxia just came back, and the injuries she suffered at the hunting ground haven’t fully healed. She’s tired, I’ll take her back to rest.”

Having said that, without waiting for the old man to react, he proceeded to go upstairs with Baili Xia in his arms.

Mu Dongyu was about to stop him when Mu Xiaojiu’s chilling words rang out: “I will choose another day for the engagement.”

No one spoke, even the old man did not know what to say.

The development of the situation had surpassed everyone’s expectations.

Perhaps, only Mu Xiaojiu remained calm and unshaken until now.

“Grandpa, I… will go check on them.” On the sofa, there was another person who had been silent, Mu Lingchuan.

In fact, regarding this matter, he already had no idea what to say.

It was a cruel twist of fate; no one was to blame for all this.

The fault did not lie with Baili Xia, so naturally she could not be blamed for occupying Ning Anran’s identity or anything of the sort.

Moreover, comparing the two, he preferred Baili Xia as his “sister,” rather than Ning Anran.

Mu Lingchuan also left, with a sense of urgency in his step.

This matter, Zimo will be heartbroken when he finds out.

He still needed to think carefully about how to allow Zimo to continue living in the Mu family…

Right, Xiaxia cannot leave; if Xiaxia were to leave, Zimo would definitely refuse to continue living here.

This matter, he still needed to discuss thoroughly with Xiaoyao.

It’s too unsafe for Baili Xia to live outside with so many villains around, isn’t it?

After the younger generation had all left, the hall, with the exception of Ning Anran, a young girl, was left with only the elders.

Even though Mu Xiaojiu was young and of a young age, at least he was of the same generation as Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo.

The old man finally managed to calm himself down.

Once the younger ones left, he looked at his three sons with a more serious gaze.

“I’ve decided to formally adopt An Ran.

From now on, she will be the true Miss Sun of the Mu family, her status equal to that of Ziying and Ziqing.”

After a pause, he added: “I mean, completely equal.”

“What?” Mu Haoguo immediately reacted, “Completely equal?”

Does this mean that the old man also plans to allocate company shares to Ning Anran like he did for Ziqing and Ziying?

This was a world apart from the treatment Baili Xia received when she was present!

“Yes, completely equal.” The old man certainly saw what they were worrying about.

But, he had already allowed An Ran to endure too much grievance outside; in the future, he absolutely could not let her suffer any further.

“No, Grandpa, I… I don’t want to be the Miss Sun of the Mu family!” Ning Anran shook her head vigorously.

“An Ran, haven’t we already agreed? Even if you’re Miss Sun, you can still find a son-in-law to join our family in the future, you don’t have to necessarily marry out.” The old man comforted her softly.

“If you want to stay with Grandpa, Grandpa won’t make you marry out, alright?”
