Chapter 35: The Drawn Cards

The doctor answered the reporter's question, dropped a sentence, and hurried away.

"Wait until the family members are all present, then come to the conference room to discuss the patient's condition."

The young doctor went back to report the situation. The hot search outside had already gone chaotic.

From #Mu patriarch fainted#, #Su Zeyan possibly the biggest cuckold king# and the like to #Mother‑daughter sharing#, #Mu family scandal#…

The entire Mu family replaced the Chu family, bearing netizens' anger.

Ji Yan only read the first half; she didn't dare to show the second half to Su Yu.

Too chaotic!

It's a total mess!

Su Xi discovered that the Mu patriarch had been in the ICU, still unconscious; the Chu family was taking action against the Mu family, urgently deleting Chu Han Ya's negative comments.

"Evil people get their comeuppance; let's go have a meal!"

"Alright!"

Su Yu was very enthusiastic!

After the meal, Su Yu excused herself to take a nap, rushed upstairs to sign in first, then looked at her cards.

The second batch of one‑hundred draws yielded the cards: 【Sleep Card: 10】, 【Misfortune Card: 10】, 【Dream Card: 3】, 【Chaos Card: 10】, 【Toothache Card: 1】, 【Blindness Card: 10】, 【Charm Card: 1】, 【Work Card: 10】, 【Irritable Card: 10】, 【Slowdown Card: 10】, 【Rain Card: 13】, 【Sunny Card: 12】.

The Sleep Card, Misfortune Card, Chaos Card, and Irritable Card have all been used.

【Using cards gives a momentary thrill, but the card pile is a crematorium! I've used so many cards. But what is the Dream Card?】

Su Yu opened the Dream Card description, which read: "Allows two people to meet in a dream, lasting one minute."

【Too bad there are only three, otherwise I could go in and see what my dad is like.】

Su Yu immediately used the three Dream Cards, sending the three adults at home into Su Yi's dream.

After using the cards, Su Yu felt a bit sleepy and simply took a real nap.

Study

Su Xi asked Ji Yan, "When you heard Xiao Yu mention using the Sleep Card, your expression was especially odd."

"Yes, the duration of that Sleep Card should be about eight hours. My circadian rhythm can't wake me up."

After waking, Ji Yan realized it was so late and was startled. She confirmed that Su Yu had already eaten and was playing, then carefully calculated the time.

Eight hours? Or the whole thing?

Su Xi thought of the situation the Mu family would face if the Mu patriarch never woke up…

"Grandma, I'm going to prepare to take over the Mu family's assets."

"Alright!"

Yang Zhichun was also delighted! Zheng Dongping, using Su Zeyan, had given the Mu family many favors, and now they could be reclaimed!

The Chu family and the Su family were both dealing with the Mu family; other clans, like sharks smelling blood, entrenched themselves around the Mu family's assets, ready to bite at any moment.

Mu Mingguang of the Mu family, newly in office, lacked the Mu patriarch's support, so his prestige was modest; no matter how many schemes he used, if he couldn't move the people beneath him, they were useless. Mu Jiguang, on the other hand, had deep foundations and seasoned tactics, but his reputation was so poor that some people simply refused to work under Mu Jiguang and resigned outright.

Mu Jiguang, seeing the patriarch still unconscious, seized power outright.

Mu Mingguang, observing the Mu family's situation, didn't hesitate; he scooped up most of the family's cash, jewelry and such, and fled with his mother.

Mu Jiguang had just stabilized the Mu family when he learned the news and was so enraged he spat blood!

The Mu family he had just reconciled began to stir again because of the news #Mu Mingguang fled with cash#.

Lin Peizhen, who had rushed back to the villa to fetch something, happened to see Mu Jiguang faint from anger. She hesitated for a long time, then finally took him to the hospital.

At the hospital, Mu Jiguang just woke under the doctor's treatment, only to be hit hard again.

"Let's fake a divorce! All the Mu family's money was taken away by Mu Mingguang. I'm leaving with some things, as a way to give you a fallback. Even if the Mu family goes bankrupt, the court won't liquidate my share. Our two sons are about to get married, we have to leave some betrothal gifts for them."

"Hahaha! Lin Peizhen, do you think I believe you?"

Mu Jiguang thought, if he gave all the money to Lin Peizhen, she'd probably turn against him once she got it. Back then, the Lin family couldn't compare to the Mu family; she married him for his good lineage and stable heir status.

His illegitimate son is as old as Lin Peizhen's son, and he's endured it!

How could he possibly believe Lin Peizhen would wait for him?

Before the Mu family's trouble, Lin Peizhen was the one who most wanted him and the patriarch to die quickly.

Thinking of Zheng Dongping fleeing, leaving him alone to be vilified by public opinion; Mu Mingguang and his stepmother ran, leaving him alone to face the Mu family's impending bankruptcy. Now even Lin Peizhen wants to run, making him bear massive debt alone, a life worse than death.

Mu Jiguang simply said everything.

"Do you think your son is your son? Even if you gave money to your son, he wouldn't take it."

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Hahaha! Lin Peizhen, you brag about being clever all your life, yet you didn't realize you helped raise Zheng Dongping's son for half a lifetime?"

"Thud!"

"Mr. Mu, are your two legitimate sons really Zheng Dongping's children?"

"Mr. Mu, what is the relationship between Ms. Zheng Dongping and the two Su gentlemen?"

"Mr. Mu, what about your child with Ms. Lin?"

Mu Jiguang saw the reporters and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha! Lin Peizhen, are you trying to play me? Look, you've also been played!"

Lin Peizhen trembled, not believing Mu Jiguang's words.

"You all are here at the hospital; your father wants to see you!"

Lin Peizhen called over, then stayed in the ward waiting. When her two sons arrived, she immediately grabbed a hair from each.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"It hurts! What does dad want us to do?"

"You two idiots, you're here for a paternity test!"

"What Paternity Test?"

The two brothers were both a bit stunned. They watched Lin Peizhen rush out, their faces full of confusion. But Mu Jiguan hated their mother Zheng Dongping to death, so how could he possibly clear things up for them?

It was the reporter nearby who wanted to gather some material, and kindly told them.

"That's impossible!"

"Dad, are you lying to Mom?"

Mu Jiguan curled his lips and said, "Just wait for the Lin family's revenge! The stuff your dear grandfather gave you is especially dirty!"

The old guy from the Lin family had been trying to trap him all along. He didn't fall into the trap, but those two foolish sons did.

Ha!

Mu Jiguan really wanted to see what the Lin family's old guy would look like if he realized his efforts were all in vain.

The onlooking reporters' favor toward Mu Jiguan reached its peak. He truly was their KPI savior!

Look, it's only two hours, and it gave them a ton of material!

The reporters sent the video and scoop back to the company, waiting for the bonus while continuing to camp here for the Paternity Test results.

Lin Peizhen paced back and forth in the hallway. She was anxious; she thought Mu Jiguan might have deceived her, just to get revenge for her fake divorce remark.
