Chapter 189: A Complete Loss-making Venture
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Two intense days of exams were over, and i Mu felt more confident about her results.
She had managed to answer many questions correctly, and even the ones she didn’t know were the kind only the top students in the grade could attempt, so they wouldn’t affect her chances of ranking in the top ten.
When she went ho, she shared the news with Wang Yue and her grandmother.
Wang Yue had recently found more free ti and could spend more ti with her.
The elderly lady, although not accustod to living in such a small house, still visited from ti to ti to see her granddaughter.
“As long as you did well on the exams, 1’11 make sure your father personally brings you back ho when the results co out, and we won’t let that darn girl have her way!” the elderly lady assured her, patting her hand with satisfaction.
i Mu gratefully leaned into her grandmother’s embrace. “Grandma, I knew you always cared for the most!”
Wang Yue was also delighted by her daughter’s significant progress, so she prepared a lavish dinner that evening to celebrate in advance.
After dinner, the elderly lady went back ho.
i Yun had been worried sick and, upon seeing her, rushed over imdiately. “Mom, why did you co back so late? I was just about to send Butler Zhao to look for you.”
The elderly lady was in a good mood today and let her son assist her in sitting on the living room sofa. “I have good news to share with you.”
“Oh? What’s the news?” Seeing her mother so cheerful, i Yun also smiled.
The elderly lady intentionally looked in the direction of the upstairs and said loudly, “Our Mumu is going to rank in the top ten of her grade this ti!” “Mom, what did you say? Mumu took the exams at school?” i Yun clearly didn’t know about this.
Grandma smiled. “Of course, a student as outstanding as Mumu, how could the school bear to expel her? Only you, as her father, would be so ruthless! You actually kicked such a good girl out of ho!”
“But Mom, the school has already said they want i Mu to drop out. Did you and Wang Yue do sothing to let her continue attending?” i Yun was a businessman, and he saw through all the twists and turns. He asked directly, “How much did it cost you?”
Grandma knew she couldn’t hide it, nor did she want to. She sighed and said, “I’m willing to spend as much as it takes for i Mu. It’s such a waste to let such a good child give up studying at such a young age. I heard that when i Shu first entered the school, her total score was less than a hundred! Trash like her, who only brings sha to the i family, should make way for i Mu!” “Mom, please don’t talk about Shu’er like that. She’s a good girl!” i Yun couldn’t stand hearing anyone speak ill of i Shu.
He loved Bai Ling deeply, and he didn’t want to hear anyone say anything bad about her child.
Grandma snorted. “You’re still defending her! If it weren’t for her causing such a big fuss, I wouldn’t have spent so much money to make the school change its mind and allow i Mu to return.”
i Yun tried to persuade her. “But i Mu’s mistake was her own.”
“i Mu, i Mu, that’s your daughter! Why do you sound so unfamiliar calling her na?” the elderly lady scolded him discontentedly. “I don’t care. I can’t let such an outstanding girl stay outside alone without even returning ho. If i Mu ranks top ten in her grades this ti, you must personally bring her back!”
i Yun hesitated for a mont.
He felt it was unfair to i Shu to bring i Mu ho so early.
But his mother didn’t give him ti to think. “Look at your other children.
None of them can compare to i Mu! i Mu is the hope of the i family! If you don’t want all the hard-earned family assets to be squandered by those few brats, you’d better bring i Mu back ho early and let her learn how to run the company with you!”
i Yun sighed reluctantly. “Okay, okay, Mom. As long as her grades improve significantly, I’ll agree to bring her back ho!”
“That’s more like it.” Mrs. i was now satisfied. She got up with the support of her cane and was about to go upstairs.
Upstairs, i Yan, who had overheard their conversation, imdiately wanted to slip back into his room.
However, i Shu grabbed his arm, signaling him to stay quiet for now.
i Yun couldn’t bear to let his elderly mother climb the stairs alone, despite feeling resentful inside. He proactively went over to help her, saying as they walked, “Mom, how much money did you spend on i Mu’s schooling this ti? I’ll transfer it to you tomorrow!”
The elder lady paused for a mont, and upon hearing his question, she said happily. “Well, I spent three million this ti. You can transfer it to my account tomorrow!”
Another three million…
i Yun furrowed his brows.
For i Yun’s schooling, a total of six million has been spent so far.
If this money were invested in the company’s business, who knows how much profit it could have earned. However, putting it into the school was like a complete loss-making venture.
It was already a considerable sum of money.
“Three million! Sister, Dad used the money that Mom earned!” i Yan imdiately complained softly to i Shu, feeling aggrieved.
He was no longer the ignorant little boy he used to be.
He knew that the money donated to the school ca from her mother’s earnings, and it shouldn’t have been spent on i Mu!
