Chapter 96

Chapter 96 What Happened?

"Mom! I can't take it any longer. I want Xia to move out now and disappear from my sight! I never want to see her again!" she declared the moment she stepped into the house.

Mu Xinyue was busy dealing with her secret overseas slush fund, so she replied impatiently, "I know you don't like her. Do you think I like her? I told you we need to wait for an opportunity to make her slip."

It didn't matter whether Mu Xia grew up in the countryside or not, for she was just a young girl in her twenties.

Mu Xia was young, so it was pretty easy for her to commit a mistake, especially when it concerned her love life.

Mu Xinyue was already busy finding the perfect candidate to seduce Mu Xia.

Right then, she was irritated by how Situ Qingshan was kicking up a fuss.

「If Qingshan was half as clever as Xia, I wouldn't have to do so much.」

As Mu Xinyue ignored her, Situ Qingshan grew increasingly antsy.

"Mom, it can't wait! If this goes on, we shall be the ones who get kicked out!"

Mu Xinyue continued typing furiously on the keyboard and replied without looking up, "Don't worry. You'll be fine as long as you shoot your film obediently. Stop provoking Xia behind my back."

Situ Qingshan bit her lips as her face turned ashen.

She had no idea how to inform Mu Xinyue about the earlier incident at the film set.

Situ Qingshan's sudden silence had Mu Xinyue feeling puzzled. The latter looked at her daughter quizzically. It suddenly occurred to her that Situ Qingshan should be on the film set instead of at home.

She shut her laptop and asked, "Why are you home at this hour? Are you done for the day?"

In response, Situ Qingshan stuttered, "Uh, something happened at the film set. I… Uh, they said…"

Mu Xinyue's scowl deepened. She knew her daughter well enough to know that something had happened.

"What on earth happened!" she demanded sternly.

Shocked by Mu Xinyue's expression, Situ Qingshan's eyes reddened as she explained hastily, "Xia took the female lead role away from me. I can't resume shooting, and I also have to compensate them one hundred million for breaching the contract. Mom, I need your help!"

Mu Xinyue's eyes widened in shock.

"What did you say? She took away your role, and you have to compensate one hundred million for breaching the contract?"

Situ Qingshan nodded profusely. "Yes, she brought Young Master Ye to the set to insult me! Mom, I can't take it anymore. You need to help me. That countryside bumpkin bullies me! After what her mom did to you, are you going to let her daughter bully me?"

"Shut up!" Mu Xinyue slammed the table in fury.

She had lost it at the mention of Mu Wanyue.

Her eyes reddened while her face contorted in anger.

Situ Qingshan knew her mom would lose it when she mentioned Mu Wanyue, but she had no idea it would be such an intense reaction. Her body was shuddering in fear, but deep down, she was pleased by Mu Xinyue's reaction.

「Mom has been living peacefully for too long. I need to provoke her so she regains her senses.」

"Where is Xia?" Mu Xinyue choked out.

「Qingshan's right. Wanyue has always been above me. Even though she's dead, the ladies in Kyoto have always compared us in secret. I can't let her daughter bully my daughter. No way!」
