Chapter 97 Did You Offend Young Master Ye?

Situ Qingshan answered, "She entered Young Master Ye's car, so I don't know where she is."

Right then, the maid knocked at the door. "Madam Situ, Young Miss Situ, Master Situ is back. He wants to see both of you downstairs."

When Situ Qingshan heard that Situ Hai's back, her whole body trembled in dread.

She tugged at Mu Xinyue's clothes instinctively. "Mom, what should I do? Dad's going to punish me."

Mu Xinyue didn't even flinch and replied calmly, "That's good news. Since Xia bullied you, I shall inform your dad. He won't let this slide! Don't worry. Your dad adores you more than Xia as you grew up by his side."

Mu Xinyue turned on her heels to leave.

Situ Qingshan was flustered, for she had pushed the blame onto Mu Xia out of fear. She didn't even tell her mom that Ye Sijue had called off the collaboration with Situ Group.

「Shit, Dad's back. How should I explain?」

She was sweating profusely when the maid urged, "Young Miss Situ, you should head downstairs now. Master Situ wants to talk to you."

"I'm not deaf. Stop being annoying!" Situ Qingshan gave the maid a menacing glare and pushed her away before stalking down the stairs.

「Fine. I shall head downstairs. Mom will deal with it. I don't think Dad will disown me just because of one contract.」

Situ Qingshan caught up to Mu Xinyue and appeared relaxed.

Downstairs, Mu Xia had just arrived when she saw Situ Hai storming in furiously.

She immediately knew Ye Group had informed Situ Hai about the revocation of their deal.

Pretending not to know anything, she went to him with a concerned expression on her face. "Dad, what happened? Why are you so upset?"

Situ Hai furrowed his brows and snapped, "It's none of your business. Is Qingshan back? I want to see her and her mom now!"

Mu Xia shot the maid an uneasy look, so the latter immediately scurried upstairs to summon Situ Qingshan and Mu Xinyue.

Soon, they both walked down the stairs.

When Mu Xinyue spotted Mu Xia, she immediately averted her gaze and gave Situ Hai a warm smile. "Dear, why are you back at this hour? Are you suffering from a headache because you drank too much last night?"

"The nerve of you!" Situ Hai barked out angrily and pointed at Situ Qingshan. "Ask your daughter how she offended Young Master Ye! He called off the deal with our company out of anger!"

Mu Xinyue's lips parted in shock as she had no idea about this.

Her astonished gaze landed on Situ Qingshan, who cowered back in fear. "I know nothing. D-Dad, is this a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Situ Hai raised his phone. "I had just returned from work when Ye Group called me. The person in charge told me you offended Young Master Ye, so they are canceling all collaborations with us! Tell me. What happened?"

Mu Xinyue's shock heightened when she heard what Situ Hai had said.

Clenching her fists, she demanded, "Shanshan, what happened? Did you upset Young Master Ye?"

"No! Of course not!" A terrified Situ Qingshan denied instantly.

She had already calmed down before getting downstairs. Now, upon seeing how furious Situ Hai was, she couldn't stop her legs from trembling.

"Hmm? Are you telling the truth?" Strangely, Situ Hai calmed down after venting out his anger. He took a deep breath before uttering with an indecipherable expression, "Explain what happened today in detail."
