Chapter 28 A Fatal Blow To The Enemy

Situ Qingshan's frustration kicked in upon seeing how fake Mu Xia was, and she fainted right away.

Situ Hai knitted his brows and said, "What an embarrassment. Quick! Send her back to the hotel!"

Mu Xinyue shot daggers at him at first but immediately hid the disdain on her face. She then called a waiter to help carry Situ Qingshan away.

The sponsor did not expect Situ Qingshan to faint. Just when he was about to defuse the tension, a group of sponsors representing various coffee brands came over.

One of them said, "Would you like to be the ambassador for our brand? We'll reward you handsomely."

The other sponsor echoed, "Choose us, Miss. We're a world renown brand!"

"Yeah, right! As if no one knows you're just a company that sells cheap instant coffee!" another sponsor mocked. He then turned to Mu Xia and said, "Please work with us!"

More and more sponsors from different brands walked up to them. Some even started fighting amidst the commotion.

The situation spiraled out of control so quickly that the sponsors even pushed Situ Hai out of the crowd.

He was utterly at a loss for words.

「Are these sponsors fighting to get my daughter to be their ambassador? My daughter who grew up in the country?

Well, well, well… Despite growing up in the countryside, she has a great charisma like me. I guess she takes after me.」

Situ Hai looked at his daughter and nodded with a smile.

Situ Qingshan finally woke up when the waiter carried her to the entrance of the ceremony.

She opened her eyes and noticed those sponsors had all surrounded Mu Xia. No one paid attention to her anymore.

All this happened because she wanted to challenge Mu Xia, thinking she would crush her in public.

But who knew, her plan had backfired.

Situ Qingshan felt a jolt of anger and fainted once again.

Situ Qingshan fainting for the second time made Mu Xinyue even more nervous. She could hardly pay attention to Mu Xia anymore.

By the end of the competition, Mu Xia received a stack of business cards from representatives of different coffee brands.

Situ Hai eventually snatched the cards away and started going through them one by one.

Mu Xia responded with a sigh upon seeing the excitement on Situ Hai's face. 「What have I gotten myself into? All I wanted was just to teach Qingshan a lesson…」

But she was still glad that she had successfully disturbed the family, and she knew the mother-daughter duo would not let her off easily.

Mu Xinyue had been trying to get rid of Mu Xia the moment she decided to return to the family. Mu Xia knew she would have to face Mu Xinyue head-on eventually.

「Bring it on, Xinyue. Bring it on!」

Before leaving the ceremony, Situ Hai took out a card from his wallet and gave it to Mu Xia. "This is a supplementary card. If you've maxed out the other two cards, you can still use this."

"Buy yourself some nice clothes and doll yourself up," he added, "Don't worry about the money."

After a few perfunctory rejections, Mu Xia accepted the card.

The card would come in handy for her to investigate Situ Hai's current assets.

Mu Xia had once hired a private investigator to find out more about her mother, Wanyue. She eventually learned that Wanyue had ten billion worth of liquidity in cash flow before she passed away.

So she was curious how much did the Situ Group own after they took over the Mu Group.

Mu Xia and her family soon got on a flight, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived back at Kyoto.

They did not interact with each other when they stepped out of the airport.

Situ Hai had to leave for work, so his chauffeur was already waiting there to pick him up.

While waiting for their car to fetch them back to the manor, Situ Qingshan could no longer contain her anger anymore. She shot daggers at Mu Xia and warned, "My patience has limits. You'd better watch it."
