In this village, people tended to talk when one could not produce a son .

Without a son, there would be no progeny!

Her husband and mother-in-law had looked down on her as a result of that . Hence, she had been finding ways and means to adopt a son so that, when they were old and infirm, he could look after them .

“You can be my son and I"ll look after you . I"ll be good to you, all right? Come follow me!” The woman wanted to save face and continued to coax him along .

He simply refused, “No!”

Lingling spread her arms to shield him behind her . “Auntie Feng, even if Youyou were abandoned by his parents, he would be with us, not you!”

Everyone laughed .

A sensible child stepped forward and said, “Auntie, he is timid so you shouldn"t frighten him in this way!”

Saying that, he turned to the boy and Lingling . “Auntie Feng is just teasing you . He he!”

The boy was vexed .

He disliked being teased by the adults .

Besides, he was a smart boy and could see that the auntie was only pulling his leg . If this were to happen to other kids, they would have burst into tears in fright .

Lingling gave chase when she saw him get up and walk away .

“Big brother, where are you going?”

“I"m going to take a walk; don"t follow me . ”

“No, no . I wanna go with you, all right? Please?”

At Disheng Financial Group"s office, the equity transfer ceremony was supposed to start at twelve noon . However, Mu Linfeng had postponed it repeatedly to a time slot in the afternoon .

Inside the CEO"s office, Mu Yazhe sat at the desk while mindlessly playing with the ZIPPO lighter in his hand .

His second uncle was seen sitting on the couch at one end without a word . Besides Mu Lianjue, the rest of the major shareholders were present .

The directorship meeting in Disheng was formed by the family members from the Mu . Mu Yazhe was the biggest shareholder, followed by his second uncle, and then Mu Shumin .

Mu Shumin"s mother was the first wife of Mu Sheng; she was considered as Mu Yazhe"s senior within the family hierarchy .

Because of her status in the family, she was prominent in the political arena . Thus, there was hardly a need for her to join any board meeting normally .

It was different this time, though .

A piece of news came that her nephew was going to transfer his shares to Mu Lianjue!

She was the first to oppose this when she heard it from Mu Linfeng .

Before the young chap arrived at the office, his second uncle already gave the gist to all the members at the meeting . He told them that the man was giving away his shares willingly for the sake of a woman!

Everyone could not believe their ears when they heard that . This was because they had seen what the young man had gone through to climb up to this prestigious seat inside the Mu empire at a tender age of twenty-seven!

One must know all the intricacies and all the intrigue surrounding this complex family . There was so much in-fighting and many compet.i.tions that a member had to face and fight before reaching the seat of honor . What the man had accomplished was no mere feat!

The issue was that many had surrendered in the end when they faced an opponent like Mu Yazhe despite putting up a tough fight .
