The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 126: I Want You to Kneel...

Fu Xiao wanted to know if Mu Wanlan had any other options left, and was keen to discover if there would be any unexpected surprises.

Thus, she whispered something to Zhai Jiu.

Zhai Jiu glanced at her deeply, then turned to the guards and instructed, "Take that young lady at the gate into the Mu residence."

He then looked at Shen Xingzhou, who nodded in understanding and followed the guards down.

Zhai Jiu gave Fu Xiao a warm smile. "You're so kind..."

Fu Xiao's expression was complex.

Kind? Hardly. She was merely interested in discovering whether Mu Wanlan had any hidden resources.

No matter what, Mu Nianshi was allowed to see Mu Wanlan through the window.

At that moment, Mu Wanlan was sitting on the floor, looking utterly defeated. Her dark circles under her eyes revealed her exhaustion, and her eyes were devoid of any light, appearing utterly lifeless and eerie.

Mu Nianshi was startled by her appearance. She called out softly, "Aunt?"

Hearing her voice, Mu Wanlan struggled to stand, leaning against the wall as she made her way to the window.

Mu Nianshi anxiously asked, "Aunt, what's going on? This morning, someone changed my name, and Uncle lost his job..."

Mu Wanlan gave a sarcastic smile. "Seeing me like this, shouldn't you have already guessed?"

Mu Nianshi's face changed several times...

She glanced around and spoke quietly, "So what should we do now? Uncle has lost his job; how are we going to live?"

Mu Wanlan felt a pang of coldness at her daughter's concern solely for their future livelihood, rather than her own well-being.

Mu Nianshi, realizing her tone was perhaps too hasty, brought up her favorite topic, Qi Rui. "And Rui Rui? Uncle said he's been looking for you at the hospital every day. What will happen to Rui Rui now..."

Mu Wanlan remembered Fu Xiao mentioning that she had given medicine to Qi Rui. Initially, she hadn't believed it, but after a night, she clearly felt something was wrong with her own body.

Impatiently, she asked, "Has there been any diagnosis of Rui Rui's condition? Make sure the doctors check him thoroughly. If one hospital can't figure it out, go to several others. We need to confirm he is healthy..."

"Did you hear me?"

Mu Nianshi sighed in frustration. "We don't have the money. With this discovery, we don't know if the Mu family will support us, and Uncle has lost his job. The Qi family won't have the funds for his treatment..."

"Aunt, do you still have any savings from before?" she asked pointedly.

Given their close relationship in the past, Mu Nianshi was aware that Mu Wanlan had hidden money.

Mu Wanlan understood the implication but, prioritizing her beloved son's situation, reluctantly revealed the location of her hidden money.

She then threatened, "Mu Nianshi, don't think about keeping it all for yourself. I'll make sure to tell your uncle about this. You need to take good care of your brother. When you marry, I'll make sure your uncle provides a generous dowry."

Mu Nianshi felt deep resentment but maintained a compliant demeanor. "Aunt, don't worry. I'll take good care of my brother."

She then expressed concern for Mu Wanlan. "Aunt, what about you? What about Grandpa and Grandma?"
